"Well, we have all the things we need right?" I asked my mates as I looked back at the now empty den.

"Yes we do, don't worry little mate" Tora said as he ruffled my hair a bit, making me huff as I muttered something under my breath.

Tora just chuckled as he helped the others make sure that they got everything ready. It had been two days now since we arrived back at the village, and we were now packing up to leave.

One of Rio's older brother agreed to be the village chief, seeing that his almost at his breakthrough to get this fourth star.

"So your really leaving?" Bailey asked when she arrived at our den, seeing all the furs tied up. "Yes we are, but let's still be friends? You know where to find me whenever you find yourself in trouble" I gave her a sad smile and opened my arms for a hug.

She quickly went to me and hugged me. "Stay safe and don't forget to visit here from time to time alright?" She let out a small chuckle and so did I.

"Don't worry, I'll try to visit here when I can" I said as we both pulled away from the hug. "Stay safe here too alright?" I said and she nodded in response before returning to her mates.

"Bye, and don't forget to visit" she said as Tora lifted me up and put me on Kali's back. He then shifted to this beastform like the rest and we finally left the village.

"Will the cubs be okay?" I mumbled as I looked up to see Rio in his beastform holding a basket with the cubs on it. Surprisingly they were well behave while inside the basket.

Archie couldn't carry them as he and Calvin were guarding the back just in case any rootless beast or other desperate single males tried to attack up.

While on the way back to the city, I began planning things. 'Okay so I've secured myself a nice status and some good males. But I still shouldn't let my guard down, especially when Cassie is also in the city' I thought with a sigh.

'Well first of all, I should try making friends with other females in the city. That way I can at least monitor what the heck is Cassie doing when I'm not around, and maybe I should try to be friends with the other Queens' I added.

As I was busy thinking things, I didn't notice that my males stopped near the river to take a short break. "Sera, are you hungry?" Carlos asked and as if in cue, my stomach growled which made him chuckle.

I got down from Kali and went to Rio and my cubs. "You did well, your so well behave. Mommy is proud of you cubs, good job" I praised my cubs as I bent down and patted their head.

Feeling delighted by my praise, they all let out small purrs  before running off to bother Xavier and Carlos who were busy preparing a meal for me.

"Archie! Get you damn cubs off of my tail!" Carlos hissed at Archie who just chuckled and watched as his cubs race, jump and climb all over Carlos tail.

Although he acted like he was angry, he didn't do anything to the cubs and let them be while continuing to prepare my meal.

"Pffft, all of you are good fathers" I mumbled and Kali rubbed himself against my waist as he heard me.

"Maybe I should try getting stronger to have the right to mate with you after you have your heat" Kei muttered from behind me which made me chuckle.

"Sera, your food is ready" Xavier called out making me hum as I walk towards them. Laughing as I watch Carlos grumble under his breath as the cubs kept playing on top of his tail.

"Archie! Get your cubs off of me" Carlos turned to the panther male who only laughed at him and encouraged his cubs more.

"He's gonna get himself a good smack from Carlos later" Calvin muttered, already seeing what would happen to his brother later.
