Ari (Child of the Beastman Goddess)

After the meal, I took the chance to have Gurion meet his mother despite his resistance.

“Who is she, Mommy?” the little hatchling asked.

“She’s your real mother, sweetie. Her name is Jala. Go on… Say hello to your mother,” I whispered while trying to smile despite the tears in my eyes.

He wiped my tears and asked while trembling, “A-Are you no longer m-my mommy?”

I laughed while crying, “Your birth mom and I are now both your mommies. You’re lucky, right? You now have two mommies while others only have one.”

He smiled and tried his best not to cry in front of me despite his reddening eyes.

He hugged me tightly and whispered, “I love you Mommy. You are the best mommy I had.”

“He really looked like Arvad,” Jala mumbled as she rushed to Gurion to hug him.

“He does, but I hope you won’t mistook Gurion for Arvad, because Gurion is Gurion and Arvad is Arvad,” I responded.

“Who is Arvad, Mommy?” Gurion asked while looking at me in confusion despite being held by his real mother.

“He’s your older brother, but he’s no longer here. Your Mommy Jala will tell you stories about him when she’s ready, but for now, focus on learning about your Mommy Jala first. From now on, you’ll be the older brother to your siblings, so you need to take care of them and your mom. Do you understand?” I explained.

He nodded while whimpering and hugged his mother back so I gave them some time alone to catch up. My heart ached knowing I have to leave Gurion after a few days and might not come back safely. I tried to calm myself down, thinking I still have a few days to spend with others.

I went to look for my brother and accidentally saw him talking to Tora at an intimate distance right at the corner of the corridor.

“Oh my goodness!” I gasped and tried to walk away but my brother pulled me back, causing me to stumble and hit my head on his hard buffed chest.

I whined while rubbing my head, “Ouch! Brother, have you been working out all these months? It felt like I hit my head on a boulder!”

Tora laughed and said, “You’re so silly Ari, I’ll go look for my brother. You can both have your talk.”

I suddenly stopped her and insisted, “No! Stay here, I was just checking on my brother. We can talk next time, I feel like my head is spinning.”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

My brother looked worried and asked, “D-Did it really hurt? Do you want me to tell Lowell to make some medicine for you?”

“No! I’ll do it, just continue with your conversation. Okay? Look! It’s Lowell! I’ll get going,” I dashed in a hurry due to awkwardness even though Lowell was not actually around.

There was not a single soul on the floor where our rooms were located and I was suddenly confused because every room looked identical. I couldn’t look for Dylan because he had to prepare his people for the task I have given to them.

“Argh! How come they all look the same?”

I walked and walked and turned on every corner, I could see and found myself back to the place where I came from. I suddenly felt embarrassed and frustrated.

“Gosh! Seriously?!” I shouted.

I looked around and tried to check where exactly I came from and looked at the difference, but they still looked identical to me so I started crying in my mind, scolding myself for being an idiot.

I was so frustrated and tried to concentrate trying to use my telepathy to call Dillon and Lowell out.

“Dillon… Lowell… I’m lost…”

I tried to walk further and suddenly felt myself being pulled into a room in a haste by two different sets of arms, one on my waist and one on my arm.

The two males suddenly looked at each other, as if arguing in their eyes. It seemed like they didn’t mean to pull me at the same time.

I sighed as their gazes at one another worsened without letting go of me.

“Can you both release me? Please…”

They released me and looked away without a word. I walked straight to the bed to rest my sore legs.

“Ugh! This place needs a map and direction at every corner of the corridor. All the rooms literally look identical,” I complained in a low voice trying to massage my legs while stretching my feet.

Lowell followed me immediately and sat on one of the cushions on the floor, then silently massaged my left leg and foot.

“Did you get lost?” Lowell asked, trying to release the tension on my leg and foot muscles.

“I did..,” I answered briefly.

Dillon looked impatient and went near us then grabbed another cushion and placed it beside Lowell while pushing him lightly. Lowell moved a little in confusion and he sat on the cushion and tried to massage my right leg.

“It’s the first time you got lost. You should have taken one of us with you. Where is that Siren? Why did he suddenly leave you without bringing you back to us?” he grumbled without realizing that he’s massaging my leg too hard.

“Ah! Dillon..,” I moaned.

Lowell growled at Dillon but he roared in response.

“Honestly… I really am sorry. I didn’t mean to make you all worried. I was just worried about Gurion, I don’t even know if I could return safely,” I mumbled, trembling in fear.

The two of them suddenly hugged me tightly, trembling for some reason.

Dillon held the back of my head firmly with his left hand while Lowell was supporting my back. They nibbled and kissed my neck while lightly sucking every part of it up to my ears in an unsynchronized manner. I felt the heat of their breaths on my ears and felt my heart race as the heat on my body started to rise.

Dillon pulled away briefly with his weary and frightened look, unintentionally tightening his grip on my hair.

“Don’t ever say those words again,” he whispered with a furious, pained and hoarse voice.

My tears streamed down as he slightly loosened the grip on my hair.

“I-I’ll die… i-if you won’t… make it back. Please… Ari… C-Can’t you just give it up?” Lowell stammered while whimpering.

“Hic! Sorry..!” I whimpered before bawling my eyes out.
