My. God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So many... perfectly sculpted, dangerously alluring bodies. And not a single thread of clothing on any of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They lay there completely bare, without the slightest attempt at modesty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her memories came rushing back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Nina felt as though thunder had exploded in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night... She had completely lost control and... And not only that—she had been the one taking the lead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least in the first half of the night, she’d still been conscious...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after that...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze swept over the marks on their bodies—scratches, faint bite marks––and her face burned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had she really been that... wild?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the strange energy from that crystal had influenced her, she had still been aware.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While she was silently spiraling in self-reproach, a large hand suddenly wrapped around her waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina, you’re awake so early?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aviel’s slightly hoarse voice came from behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, his strong, warm body enclosed her completely, chasing away the morning chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you sleep well? Want to rest a bit longer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all... they had gone at it the entire night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the others began to stir as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From her left, a large hand gently took hers. Kith smiled, his expression soft and deeply satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina, are you getting up now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On her right, long, elegant fingers lightly hooked around hers. Finch lowered his gaze shyly, biting his lip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good morning, Nina.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sleek, beautiful tail brushed lightly against her leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dian beamed, utterly delighted. \"Nina, you were amazing last night!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough—!\" Nina choked, nearly sputtering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sal shot upright, irritation written all over his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those bastards had completely occupied the space around her—pushing him, her actual mate, off to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Nina coughed, all of them tensed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina, what’s wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aviel tightened his hold, warming her further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you catch a chill last night?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kith and Finch both clasped her hands more tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sal smacked his own forehead. \"It’s cold in the morning and we didn’t even dress her—how careless!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she was covered with furs, she still wasn’t wearing clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their panic, they had completely forgotten that Nina had healing abilities. She wouldn’t fall ill so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m fine,\" Nina said, trying to sound natural. \"Just a tickle in my throat. Did you forget I have healing powers? I won’t get sick that easily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no way she was admitting she’d choked because ofthatcomment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did they relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Kith immediately took out a set of clothes from his storage, ready to dress her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aviel caught his wrist. \"I’ll do it. You’re too far away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was in his arms—of course he should be the one to dress her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too far?\" Kith scoffed. \"Are your eyes broken? With those clumsy hands of yours, what if you hurt her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Finch produced another set of clothes. \"Nina, letmedress you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let them argue—she could just wear what he made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to be outdone, Dian quickly brought out a set as well. \"Nina, wear mine! I made this just for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all... he had workedveryhard last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You?\" Finch frowned. \"What if it doesn’t fit? It’s cold—do you expect her to keep changing clothes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It will fit!\" Dian shot back. \"I followed her measurements exactly this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fox just didn’t want her choosing his clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sal, for once, didn’t join in. He sat off to the side, watching the chaos with amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bunch of jealous fools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this rate, things were going to get very lively at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina...\" Kith held up the clothes, looking at her expectantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina.\" Finch and Dian mirrored the same hopeful expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina felt a headache coming on. Why was even getting dressed turning into a competition?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to Sal. \"Sal, is my purple dress with you? I want to wear that today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is.\" He immediately took it out and stepped forward. \"I’ll help you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I’ll help too,\" Aviel said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll help as well.\" Kith put his clothes away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finch and Dian followed suit, stepping closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One lifted her arm, another supported her leg, one fastened buttons while another adjusted the fabric. The group of males worked together in a flurry of hands, dressing Nina all at once. Every so often, they bickered, criticizing each other’s technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina stiffened, letting them fuss over her, listening awkwardly to their quarrel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a quiet sigh. For the first time, a cold thought flashed through her mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even affection from too many beauties can be overwhelming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At last, they finished. Nina exhaled in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once she was fully dressed, Dian gathered his courage and asked softly, \"Sister Nina... does this mean I’m your guardian beast now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His bright, watery eyes were filled with both hope and hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hope that she would accept him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear that she would not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew what had happened last night wasn’t entirely normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Sal and Kith—who already had their place—present, someone like him, with no status, should have stepped away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he hadn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had stayed, following his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she rejected him... it would be fair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so, he would not give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this life, he had already chosen her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Nina didn’t answer immediately, Dian’s expression dimmed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he quickly forced a smile. \"Sister Nina, I didn’t mean anything by it. I was just asking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered his gaze. \"...Even though last night was my first time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bit his lip, then looked up again, a soft, lingering smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I gave it to you willingly. Even if...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to make up his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if I can only stay by your side as a lover for the rest of my life... I’m willing to do that. I just... hope you won’t abandon me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other males silently scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There he goes again—putting on an act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if theirs hadn’t been their first time too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina looked at him, conflicted. If she walked away without taking responsibility... it would feel wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And truthfully, she didn’t dislike him. She had simply never planned on taking more mates before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina, I...\" Aviel tightened his hold around her slightly. \"I also want...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To stay by your side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if not as a mate, he would be satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina...\" Finch gently tugged at her sleeve, his eyes silently pleading:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t forget me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he didn’t feel worthy, he couldn’t deny what he felt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kith lowered his head, saying nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t dare ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he had now... was already enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina looked at them, thinking about it carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she made her decision. \"...Would you all be willing to form a bond with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aviel’s eyes widened. \"Nina... are you serious? You... want to bond with us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others were just as stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Straight to bonding? What kind of overwhelming happiness was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina nodded, her voice steady. \"Yes. If you’re willing... then we’ll form a bond.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Willing—of course we’re willing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were practically beside themselves with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kith’s eyes grew moist as he tightened his grip on her hand. He had truly... waited for this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sal clicked his tongue and looked away. From now on, he’d have to take turns. That was going to be annoying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s getting late. Let’s head back first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina tried to stand, but only made it halfway before collapsing back against Aviel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her legs felt like jelly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blushing, she murmured softly, \"My legs are a bit weak...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I’ll carry you.\" Before anyone else could react, Aviel scooped her up in his arms, grinning as he carried her toward the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kith and the others followed behind, their steps light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away, hidden in the distance, Yanai watched Nina’s retreating figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quiet sorrow filled his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no right to stand by her side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One night––that was already more than he deserved.\u003C\u002Fp>",1345,"2026-06-03T08:29:56.682Z","2026-06-03T08:30:03.515Z",1,"novelbin.me","67441f26ce8566c176efb398b1b000ceef799c55318aca02d807af9141000e7a","after-giving-birth-all-my-beast-ex-husbands-sudd-chapter-199","after-giving-birth-all-my-beast-ex-husbands-sudd-chapter-197",299,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-giving-birth-all-my-beast-ex-husbands-sudd-cover.jpg"]
