I’ll sleep with the cubs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t planned on sleeping with Idir anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not leaving,\" Idir said immediately. \"I’m sleeping with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others were just as unwilling. \"Nina...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he kept this up, wouldn’t they lose every chance to be close to her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina, you’re the mistress of the household. Who stays should be your decision. We have no objections,\" Odian said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ll follow your choice,\" the others echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idir said nothing, but his jaw tightened. He didn’t want any of them near her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And deep down, he had a feeling—she wouldn’t choose him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina hesitated, then looked at him again. \"Idir... why don’t you sleep in another room?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relief flashed across the others’ faces. She had chosen them after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idir’s grip on her hand tightened abruptly. A dark haze crept into his eyes, the last traces of gentleness swallowed by rising violence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina... you’re really choosing them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...\" She faltered for a moment, then said softly, \"You should go to another room.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air in the room grew heavier, suffocating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s already told you to leave. Why are you still here?\" Kith snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t leave,\" Idir said, his voice low and absolute. \"I will never leave Nina’s side.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The darkness in his eyes deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she chose them... then he would kill them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If she told you to go, then you go,\" Sal snapped, stepping forward to pull him away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, Idir’s aura erupted violently. A surge of power swept outward, rattling the doors and windows with sharp, echoing cracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such terrifying strength!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idir raised his hand, ready to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina’s expression changed instantly. She threw herself forward and wrapped her arms around him, holding him tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leave—now!\" she called urgently to the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was bad. They had pushed him too far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mates clenched their jaws, unwilling to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idir’s aura grew even more ferocious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go!\" Nina’s voice sharpened. \"Now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could feel it—he was on the verge of losing control. She couldn’t let anything happen to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Odian saw the strain in her eyes. Gritting his teeth, he turned. \"Let’s go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked out first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, the others followed, fists clenched, unwilling but resolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idir tried to move after them, but Nina held him tighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re gone,\" she said quickly. \"Don’t be angry anymore. You can stay tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flick of her power, the door shut behind them. But this time, the violent energy around him didn’t fade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned toward her. The warmth in his eyes was gone—replaced by cold, restless fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina’s heart skipped. Why was he still so angry?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idir stepped closer. \"Nina... why did you choose them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was low, heavy with suppressed emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She instinctively stepped back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What now...?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fighting him head-on was impossible. So maybe...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could second-guess herself, Nina reached up, hooked her arms around his neck, and kissed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idir froze for a heartbeat, then pulled her into his arms and kissed her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, his kiss was fierce, almost punishing. But gradually, it softened. The storm within him began to settle, the darkness in his eyes thinning, replaced by something warmer... deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina...\" he murmured hoarsely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the shift, she slowly pulled away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at him, she let out a quiet breath of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...It’s late,\" she said gently. \"Let’s sleep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idir lightly bit her lower lip. \"Nina... I want to mate with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina let out a quiet groan of despair. Why was this happening again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reached up and gently stroked his hair. \"Not now. We’ll talk about it after you’ve regained your memories.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bit her again, displeased. \"Why do I have to wait until I remember? What does it matter if I’ve forgotten?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina sighed softly. \"Because you’re not in your right mind right now. When you remember later, you might regret it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Idir, who was clear-headed, was, at most, just her friend. And the Idir before her now—too powerful, too domineering. Either way, this wasn’t something that should happen between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idir gazed at her seriously. \"I won’t regret it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything, he felt he would regret missing this chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina pinched his ear lightly. \"Be good. Listen to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pressed a kiss to her chin, then trailed downward. \"No. I want you. Nina, we already have cubs—why won’t you agree? It’s not like we’ve never—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina quickly caught his head, clearing her throat awkwardly. \"That... the cubs were an accident. We’re really not mates.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of disappointment crossed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he really wasn’t her male?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then his gaze hardened with resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina, then from now on—I am.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he hadn’t been before, he would be now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice turned solemn, earnest. \"Nina, let’s become mates. I want to be your partner. I really do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to stay with her—always.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina met his eyes. In them, she saw nothing but her own reflection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart stirred for a fleeting moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wasn’t himself. He didn’t even understand what he was saying. That thought grounded her immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sorry,\" she said softly. \"I can’t accept that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then looked away. \"I’m tired. Let’s sleep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lay down, gathering the cubs into her arms, closing her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idir remained where he was, confusion and quiet hurt passing through his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t understand. Why wouldn’t she accept him? Was it because of those other males? If he tried to accept them... would that change anything?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the mere thought of her surrounded by other males made something twist painfully in his chest, a suffocating, unbearable feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to hide her away—keep her only for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But... that would make her angry, wouldn’t it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long moment, he lay down behind her, wrapping an arm around her from behind. His chin rested lightly against her shoulder as he closed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was he supposed to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, Odian and the others stood before the closed door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sudden crack, Sal slammed his fist into the stone wall beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are we just going to let that damned snake bully Nina like this? You heard him—he wants to...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice trembled with anger, faint traces of blood appearing along his knuckles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that snake dared to force her—he would kill him, even if it cost his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others were no better, their expressions dark with fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll find a way to suppress his curse,\" Odian continued, a cold edge flashing through his eyes. \"I will.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sal sat down by the door. \"I’m staying here tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll stay with you,\" Kith said, taking a seat on the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, the rest remained outside as well. None of them left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Nina was in danger, they would break in without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Odian leaned against the wall, tilting his head up toward the night sky, his mind racing for a solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was beginning to understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yanai glanced at them, then silently took up a position nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lex sat beside Dian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Setan leaned against the side of the building, quiet but resolute. He didn’t know everything—but he understood enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, too, wanted to protect her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, none of them slept easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each carried their own thoughts into the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>",1266,"2026-06-03T08:29:56.682Z","2026-06-03T08:30:03.516Z",1,"novelbin.me","39a867a67897b3e8472634cd2a2269ddf8ffe3aad7ca1d8cc255b24d8b20013d","after-giving-birth-all-my-beast-ex-husbands-sudd-chapter-264","after-giving-birth-all-my-beast-ex-husbands-sudd-chapter-262",299,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-giving-birth-all-my-beast-ex-husbands-sudd-cover.jpg"]
