Chapter 80: Helping hand

"You asked for this" he smirked at her and started moving his lower body.

Lyra’s nails dug on his bareback leaving crescent marks all over his tanned body. He moved slowly, glancing at her from time to time making sure that she was comfortable. He went in and out of her and asked "Are you uncomfortable somewhere?"

She shook her head "I’m fine, you can continue"

He nodded his head and showered kisses all over her neck and collarbone making her giggle "It tickles"

Lucas continued kissing her and picked up his speed making her moan. His hands crept under her back, gently picking her up towards him. With her on top of his lap, he continued to ram her insides. Lyra hugged him tightly and started matching his movements.

After some time, Lucas grunted and released his seeds inside her as she also climaxed for the second time. Lucas caressed her back and kissed her shoulders "Are you tired?"

"I’m a little sleepy" she whispered back groggily

He nodded his head and laid her back on the bed and tucked her to sleep. Then he went out of the room and brought a stone bowl filled with water and small animal skin. Wiping her sweat-soaked body, he laid beside her and hugged her to take a nap.

Meanwhile, Blake and the little snakes visited the snake clan. After moving into the beast city, the snake beastmen occupied relatively cold and damp territory inside the city to settle down.

The beast city was the largest settlement for all kinds of beastmen and it was also proud for beastmen to reside inside the city because it consisted of many beast kings who were holding the fort against enemies and stray beasts. Furthermore, females were well protected inside the city, increasing the possibility of finding mates for most of the male beastmen. Entirely there were about a thousand females in total, it was considered massive since the birth of females was rare in the beast world.

Coming back to the snake clan, females in this clan were mostly snatched away from other weak tribes or born in the snake clan. As savage beastmen like snakes and scorpions were loathed by females and other tribes, none of the females voluntarily choose to become mates with them. Savage beastmen were well known for showing extreme possessiveness towards their females. sometimes they even killed their female’s other mates to have their beloved to themselves. This was a great crisis, Blake had to solve to get his tribesmen to adapt to the rules of beast city.

Lucas’s father already cautioned Blake to keep his men in supervision. Blake also understood the wolf king’s concern because it was risky of him to let savage beastmen inside the city. The scorpion tribe were able to enter because of the antidote but it was not the same for the snake clan, so he had to make sure that his tribesmen would not face any complication in their territory. In the past, he didn’t care about these because they did not matter to him, but now, it was different because he also had children and a mate to take care of. He wanted to create a solid future for them.

Peter who was the leader of the snake clan bowed his head "Welcome your majesty"

Blake nodded his head and glimpsed at him "Are your injuries recovered now?"

Peter scratched the back of his head "Yes your majesty"

"You did a good job peter, I’m indebted to you" Blake commented

Peter widened his eyes and waved his hands "It is my duty to fulfill your request, your majesty, please don’t say such words"

Blake pursed his lips, he appreciated Peter’s loyalty more than anything else. Facing an immortal beastman like Theodore was too difficult for a five-star marked beastman like Peter, but he fulfilled his role in convincing Theodore and bringing him, even while injured. He strode towards Peter and patted his shoulders "Show me around the clan"

Peter smiled and started leading the way. Ever since he was young, he always thought highly of the snake king. Thier first meet was in the forest.

Peter who was still a little snakeling slithered on the jungle ground hurriedly. Behind him, a pack of wild wolves sprinted towards him. He was panicking inside and even thought about stopping and accepting his fate. Being weak was not acceptable in the beast world and he couldn’t believe that he was being hunted by wild wolves.

As soon as he was born, he was abandoned by his father to fend for himself for being weak with some of his other siblings. Together with them, he wandered around the forest in search of shelter and food, but maybe because of his bad luck, he got separated from them and was currently being chased by a pack of wild wolves. He was hopeful in facing one or two wolves with his poison but a pack of them was impossible to even for an adult beastmen.

Escaping from this scene right now was the best option available for him, so he slithered with all his might. Just at that moment, a black figure flashed making him halt in his strides. Peter stared with his eyes wide at the figure in front of him.

A black python of large size was staring back at him with its cold emerald green eyes. It flicked the tongue hissing at him ’Sssss’ "Do you want me to help you?"

Peter blinked his eyes and questioned in snake speech "Will you?"

"Prove your worth and I will help you" Blake responded

"What should I do?"

"Attack and kill four of them and I will help you in dealing with the others"

Without any more choice, Peter turned around and launched his small body towards a wolf. He curled himself around its forelimbs and buried his fangs inside it earning a loud snarl from it. But because of his poison, the wolf slumped onto the ground and whimpered pitifully breathing its last.

"Next" Blake commanded from behind.

As Peter went to attack another wolf, two of them paced towards him at the same time. He was able to bite one but was attacked by its sharp claws, leaving a bloodied wound on Peter’s body. As another wolf tried to do the same, Blake crept towards it, biting its neck.

Peter turned towards Blake in surprise "I have not completed the task yet, why are you helping me out?"

Blake looked back at him with indifferent eyes "Trying is more important than winning, never accept your defeat without even trying. For a snakeling like you to win against a single wolf is already a good feat, I like your boldness in trying to fight them" he said and turned around to face the remaining wolves.

Peter’s eyes filled with tears. He couldn’t help but remember his father, who abandoned him for being weak. Hatchlings were born with varied strengths because of the large number of them, and this resulted in him being weak with some of his other siblings. But someone believing and appreciating his hard work meant a lot to him, he swore to get more powerful in the future to be a helping hand for the beastman who made him realize his own, strength.
