Ari (Child of the Beastman Goddess)

I passed out in exhaustion during the delivery of the last baby. Luckily, everyone was around to help me with everything else.

When I woke up, it was already noon time. Tora and Jala had to feed the twins while taking care of their own hatchling.

While the males looked exhausted and gloomy that they didn’t even notice I was already awake.

“I’m hungry..,” I whined without standing up.

“Oh! I’ll get you some soup,” Lowell said.

“Wait! I want some meat..,” I requested.

“Haha! Alright. I’ll cook some meat,” Lowell laughed before going out.

“Babe, how are you feeling now?” Macan asked worriedly.

“It still hurts down there,” I replied.

“You had some lacerations, but we already treated it. Though you might have some trouble with secretion for a few weeks..,” he explained.

“I see..,” I mumbled.

“Babe… let’s not make babies anymore… I’m already satisfied with the twins,” he said while trembling.

“Even after 3 or 5 years?” I asked.

“Goodness! Are you a mas***ist, babe?!” he exclaimed in disbelief.

“Haha! Aw! I can’t even laugh,” I complained upon feeling a stabbing pain on my private part after laughing briefly.

“See that?! And you want more?!” He nagged.

“You look cool earlier though. I have a great doctor, an herbal specialist slash cook and two babysitters,” I grinned.

“Wow… You’re such a blessed one, aren’t you? You didn’t even know all your husbands almost fainted seeing you lose consciousness when pushing out the last baby,” he scolded.

I tried my best not to laugh seeing his annoyed look. Tora and Jala were laughing as they gave the babies to Dillon and Dylan. They just finished feeding my babies and they pushed the two stunned and clueless males near me.

“Let Ari see her children. Come on! Stop dazing around,” Tora nagged as she pushed Dillon.

“Honey..,” Dillon mumbled while handing over one of my lovely babies.

“Hmm? She’s… No… It is a ‘he’?! Aw!” I choked as I coughed in shock, then crouched a little due to the pain.

“What, babe? First time seeing a baby boy?” Macan teased.

“Well… Technically… Yes,” I replied embarrassedly.

“Oh! Right. I forgot,” he mumbled.

“How will we know who’s their father? They looked extremely alike,” I asked.

“The female is my daughter..,” Dylan said.

“Right… And the male is my son,” Dillon added.

I was stunned and mumbled, “How did you know?”

“My mark disappeared when she came out crying loudly across the room. She was quite energetic,” Dylan chuckled.

“Oh… I see..,” I mumbled as I took my baby girl from Dylan while still holding my baby boy in my arms.

“Have you thought of their names already?” Tora asked.

“Bria and Blair,” I grinned, looking at my cute little babies.

“Blair and Bria… It seems fitting for them,” Dillon mumbled.

Lowell came back with a few dishes in his hands. Macan helped him fix the meal on a small bed table.

“Oh! Right. Jala and Tora… You can both go back and take a rest. I bet you’re both tired of the chaos earlier… Thank you so much for helping out,” I said, seeing their exhausted look.

“Are you sure, Ari?” Tora asked.

“Yes. I’ve already rested. We can handle this on our own,” I replied.

Tora smiled and said, “I’ll be back later after resting for a bit.”

“I’ll also come back in a while to help out and bring Gurion here with me,” Jala said while lowering her head.

“Goodness… I told you not to lower your head anymore. Thanks, Jala… Gurion will be thrilled seeing the twins,” I beamed.

Dylan helped the two of them come out of the room and I asked, “By the way… I remembered you called for the healer? Where is he?”

“We had him go back after he checked on the twins,” Dylan answered

“I see..,” I mumbled.

Macan and Lowell started feeding me while Dillon and Dylan were taking care of the twins. I felt satisfied seeing them work together without grunting and growling with one another from time to time.

A little while later, right after I finished eating my food, one of Dylan’s subordinates rushed and shouted from the throne area, “Alpha, pardon for the disturbance. The queen and the god of life and death visited.”

“Goodness! It’s a mess in here,” I panicked.

“One moment!” Dylan replied in panic and started using his power to clean the mess in the room in an instant before rushing outside with Bria in his hand.

I could still hear them from inside the room.

“Welcome to my palace… Mother… Father… Arie just finished eating her meal,” Dylan greeted.

“Oh goodness! What a cute little one do we have here?” my mother gasped.

“Wow… She looks more like Arie when she’s still small, isn’t she dear?” my father commented.

“Right. She does, except her emerald eyes,” my mother agreed.

Dylan helped my parents enter the room and their gaze instantly landed on Blair.

“A baby boy..,” my father mumbled as he took Blair from Dillon.

“Right. I wasn’t even sure what Father was planning. He suddenly blessed our daughter with a new race of children without explaining why,” my mother mumbled.

“Mother… What do you mean by a new race?” I asked in confusion.

“Your children are the first human race according to the Supreme God. We came here to bless the children. He said they and your future children will become the rulers of the future kingdoms in this world inheriting the power of the Immortals despite being mortals,” my father explained.

I was too shocked to utter a word.

“What’s their name, dear?” my mother asked as she took Bria from Dylan.

“Bria and Blair,” I replied.

“Bria and Blair… Such befitting names..,” she mumbled as they started blessing them one after another.

After they blessed them an insignia suddenly appeared on their chest. It was a mark of a star with the four major elements surrounding the star and a mark of light and darkness at the center.

“They’re quite good aren’t they? They didn’t even cry,” my mother beamed before giving back Bria to Dylan.

“Right. They’re quite behaved compared to their mother..,” my father teased.

My mother laughed and replied, “Right. Arie and Ayla were quite energetic when they were born.”

My spouses also laughed hearing their words. I felt quite embarrassed but relieved seeing them on such a special day.

I wasn’t able to accommodate my parents properly because I was stuck in the bed due to exhaustion. My father healed me and my body came back to its original state. They told me they’d visit again after some time.

************************************

After a month, we moved to the new tribe and collaborated with the Forest Lion Tribe regarding my promise to Jala. The perpetrators who harmed her son, Arvad, were sentenced to labor work and became slaves in Dylan’s palace.

They were still unrepentant making them receive some cruel punishment without the death sentence. I couldn’t bear to watch any torture, which was why I had Dylan to punish them according to Jala’s will.

After fulfilling my promise to Jala we to visited the Canan Village. Luckily, we can move from one place to another in a haste using the ring or Dylan’s power. We went to check how Blake was doing and if he had already adjusted to the life in the village after years.

Jael welcomed our group with the highest respect despite me saying that I was no longer a goddess. I was so happy when I learned that Blake became Nyala’s guardian male and was scheduled to wed once Nyala reached adulthood. They looked good with one another. We invited them to our wedding on the Forest Wolf Tribe and they were extremely happy to attend.

We held another wedding in front of the Forest Wolf Tribe half a year after I gave birth to the twins. Dillon’s parents, Brother Askook and Grandma Lony attended the ceremony officiated by Acwulf. They were all relieved hearing the news about our return.

Grandma Lony wasn’t supposed to attend if not for Dillon’s parents. They persuaded her saying they wanted to ensure that the child was really Dillon’s.

Dillon’s parents were distant and suspicious of me when they came to the wedding, but when they saw Blair, their hearts melted and became warm to me, especially when Grandma Lony confirmed that he is Dillon’s son.

My brother, Askook, had to leave his wife at the Forest Lion Tribe since she was still hostile to me. We took the chance to inform Brother Askook regarding what really happened and he was shocked, he promised to keep it a secret and he offered to help with the new tribe if ever needed. He was so thrilled seeing his nieces and nephew.

The elders of the Forest Wolf Tribe were quite enthusiastic and rushed Lowell to have children, saying he’s not young anymore and he needed to have a child of his own. At first, they thought I was the one who was against the thought, but Lowell said it himself that he was the one who did not like to have one. Even so, he was forced to agree to their terms and was no longer allowed to take any herbs that could hinder the pregnancy.

We did our best to delay the next pregnancy despite the pressure using the excuse that the twins were still too young and that my health is not good for pregnancy.

Gurion, Nita and the twins love playing together like real siblings. I was lucky that my spouses helped me in caring for the children. I could imagine how chaotic it would have been if I was the only one taking care of them.

Tora and my brother had a son a year later after I gave birth to the twins and named him, Armel. Tora never welcomed another male and was content with my brother. I supported her decision so we helped them with all the other needs just like usual and our bond grew stronger.

Dylan was assigned to teach the children how to control their powers. We scheduled our stay at Dylan’s Palace every weekend because Dylan can’t stay in the Forest Wolf Tribe for a long time being the alpha of the Sirens.

Three years after I gave birth to the twins, Dylan and Dillon gave way to Macan and Lowell with a horrified look on their face as if they were thinking something unimaginable.

“Babe… Are you really sure about this?” Macan whispered as he wrapped his arm on my waist, cupping my face from behind while kissing my nape.

I looked at Lowell’s flushed face, who’s lying below me and said, “I’m really exhausted with all the nagging of the elders.”

“Sorry..,” Lowell mumbled as he looked away.

“Why? I promised I’ll make it up to you after my mission. I can’t break my promise,” I said as Macan removed my necklace releasing my scent all over the alpha’s room.

“I really… no longer wish to..,” Lowell gasped as his breath grew heavy due to the effect of my scent.

“I really can break a promise..,” I grinned.

************************************

Just like that, I continued to live a “not so normal life” as a regular female and tried to move forward despite the struggles I’ve been through. I begged Mother, the queen goddess, to help my mortal mother to be cured since I no longer have the ability to heal people and she was healed the next day. However, our relationship didn’t grow closer because I decided to live far away from them. Brother Askook visited us occasionally to hang out with us but Lindie still seemed the same.

As expected, I could not please everyone and it doesn’t matter anymore since I already have a family of my own and I am surrounded by people who love and respect me no matter who I am and what I am. People who helped me through the darkest moments of my life. I also have a family in Nirvana who always look after me and my people.

I could finally live without the fears that have been haunting me for 2 lifetimes. However, I still break down every now and then due to grief and regret of losing someone very important to me.

“Do you feel the same way too, Ayla?”
