Unfortunately, their kind had no bloodline resonance. There was no way to confirm it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aron’s gaze sharpened. \"Answer me this—are you still untouched?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yanai’s eyes flickered. His fists clenched. He didn’t answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he wasn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought struck him like a blow. A flicker of fear crept into his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Nina finds out... will she reject me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never truly allowed himself to think about it before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps... because he didn’t dare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because if he did... he might lose the courage to stay by her side at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his reaction, Aron understood immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve already been with a female... but it wasn’t Nina. Am I right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yanai lowered his head, his fists tightening further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then give up,\" Aron said with a sigh. \"You no longer have the right to pursue her. Our wolf clan recognizes only one mate in a lifetime. Since you’ve already been with another female, how can you turn around and chase Nina?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\" Yanai’s voice was strained, but resolute. \"I won’t give up on Nina. That wasn’t my choice. I don’t even know who that female was.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression twisted with pain and confusion. \"I don’t want anyone else. There will never be anyone else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart was torn, but his feelings for Nina overwhelmed everything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even knowing he might no longer deserve her... he couldn’t leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only hope that she wouldn’t reject him. Even if it meant having no status, no name—even if he could only stay by her side in silence—it would be enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t know who it was?\" Aron frowned. \"How is that possible?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That day... my heat cycle struck. I had just begun suppressing it with my ability when I caught a scent—an overwhelming one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yanai’s voice grew distant. \"After that... I lost control completely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed his eyes briefly. \"I only remember fragments. Blurred... incomplete. The rest is gone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t remember her appearance? Or even her scent?\" Aron pressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yanai shook his head. \"I must have lost control too completely. When I woke up... everything was gone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aron frowned deeply. \"If you mated, there should have been some lingering trace. How could you remember nothing at all?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then a thought struck him. \"...Could you have been affected by some kind of illusion ability?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some races—like foxes or merfolk—possessed such powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yanai let out a bitter laugh. \"I wish it were that simple. When I woke up, I was lying in water. Any scent had already been washed away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression darkened. \"And... my mark was gone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among certain traditional races like the wolves, males bore a mark of purity from a young age—a sign of their devotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once lost, it never returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aron resisted the urge to roll his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why didn’t the water just drown you while it was at it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His son’s luck was truly abysmal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what do you remember?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only that scent,\" Yanai said quietly. \"Because I hadn’t completely lost control when I first smelled it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That makes it even harder to trace,\" Aron muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A female’s natural scent and her heat scent are completely different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, a flicker of hope lingered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Do you think it could have been Nina?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yanai shook his head immediately. \"That’s impossible. That happened in Sin Beast City. How could Nina ever be in a place like that? And even if it were her... it’s not like she’d conceive from just one time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...If only it had been her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aron nodded slowly. \"That’s true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unlikely. A female like Nina would never appear in a place like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then... do you plan to find that female?\" Aron asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their kind already struggled with reproduction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with Yanai’s strength, it would be even more difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with someone like Nina, conception wouldn’t be guaranteed, let alone an ordinary female.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yanai shook his head. \"Father... aside from Nina, I will not be with any other female. Please understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, before forming a bond, relationships between males and females were relatively free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was rarely any expectation of responsibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some more traditional males might seek it, but most did not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, many valued themselves and wouldn’t casually engage before bonding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though—there were always exceptions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aron hesitated. \"...Still...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their wolf clan was loyal to a single mate for life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this—this had been an accident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And judging by the strength of that scent... it might not have been entirely natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Fine. I won’t push you anymore. I’ll help you as best I can. Let’s just hope Nina doesn’t reject you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Mm.\" Yanai’s expression dimmed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aron gave him a firm pat. \"Since you’ve chosen, then stand tall. Nina is a good female—she might accept you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know.\" Yanai steadied himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she truly rejected him, then he would step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watch over her from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Letting go of the thought that the little snow wolf might be his grandson, Aron stepped outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it wasn’t—it was still a child of their snow wolf kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he couldn’t help but feel fond of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, Sal looked at the little wolf with bright anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina... let me raise him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it wasn’t a leopard, he still wanted to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mino stepped forward as well. \"Nina, can I raise him too? I want to take care of him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ming stood beside him, just as hopeful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Odian, holding the little one, said nothing. Better to let the others have this one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A harmonious household mattered more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aron watched from the side, sighing softly. If only the wolf clan had the right to raise him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina smiled faintly. \"Let’s let him choose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked down at the little wolf. \"Shushu, who would you like to take care of you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little wolf looked left, then right, then pointed at Mino.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My brothers and sisters said Father Mino cooks delicious food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mino’s face lit up. \"Then I’ll make you lots of delicious food from now on!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ming chuckled, pulling out a pile of toys. \"My good grandson—these are all for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sal sulked inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...How did I lose again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina reached out and took his hand. \"Then the next one will be yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sal’s mood lifted instantly. He nodded with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next one will definitely be a little leopard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That evening, after dinner, Nina returned to her room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, closing her eyes, she entered the system space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Bun,\" she called, \"is the thing I asked you about earlier ready?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1122,"2026-06-03T08:29:56.682Z","2026-06-03T08:30:03.515Z",1,"novelbin.me","a5743c9e7070b1f5ac0a78469cd3f69c9048b57e05d11e8a9fe27ac302948af2","after-giving-birth-all-my-beast-ex-husbands-sudd-chapter-161","after-giving-birth-all-my-beast-ex-husbands-sudd-chapter-159",299,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-giving-birth-all-my-beast-ex-husbands-sudd-cover.jpg"]
