More Confusion, Ravin family?

After explaining about the life of a beast men and female beast, Ravin morph back into a lion and took me atop his back and told me to hold tightly as he sped up to his home since it was getting dark.

From what I gathered, this is the world of beast men, there are different orcs. There's the lion's clan, wolf's clan, tiger clan, snakes, apes, eagles, bear, rabbits, peacocks, mermaids, and many others I don't care to remember now. Ravin did ask me again what Clan I am from, I couldn't tell him the truth, but I also didn't tell a lie, I told him I'm somewhat like the ape but not entirely like them. He didn't question me further as if satisfied for now.

We can upon an entrance with two lion beast men guarding it.

"Your highness, you're back." One came forward to greet us, however the moment he turns to me, his attention was no longer on Ravin, "Who is this female? I've never seen anyone as beautiful as her." He reached out to touch me when Ravin roared in displeasure. The lion that approached us backed away in fear.

Ravin morphed back into his human form, his arms lifting me up like I weigh no more than a block of haystack, cradling me in his arms, "This is my female, and she is under my protection. Don't make her feel uncomfortable!"

"My apology female." The scared lion said, but his eyes never left my face.

"Let's go, I need to take you to see the village elder." Ravin murmured next to my ears.

He started walking with me resting on his arms against his chest. Geez I know I'm not that skinny. I weigh 178lbs. I have to be a little heavy, right? Shit even Hyunwoo bastard couldn't pick me more than a second before whining about how heavy I am, these beast men are on a different wave link of their own.

He carried me into the village I notice a lot of lion beast men and even other orcs as well. One guy had tiger striped clothing and, on his face, and skin, some were even visible on his body. Not many though, but there were some still visible. They turn to look at me and as cliché as this may sound, they look at me in awe, some even drool. Wait he's not thinking of eating me, right? I turn away looking back at Ravin who suddenly has the meanest scowl on his face. Am I finally getting heavy to him?

"Hey Ravin, you can put me down if I'm heavy." I whispered.

"No." came the curt response.

"You're scowling if you hadn't notice. I don't mind if you put me down, I know I'm not that skinny and must be heavy. You don't have to force yourself." I whispered again.

"It's not that. How much you weight has nothing to do why I am displease at the moment." He grumbled.

"Well why are you scowling?" I said a little louder, geez this guy.

"I'm irritated that these beasts are ogling you. I find it very annoying." He sighed.

I couldn't help but let out a giggle trying my hardest to hold it back, for some reason his display of jealousy is quite cute, "Are you jealous right now, Ravin?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, and please don't laugh, it's not making the situation better, I did tell you that you have a pleasant voice, your laughing is adorable as well. I don't want others hearing it." He mumbled turning away.

I noticed the deep red blush covering his face. I smiled; he can blush? How adorable.

We got to small hut atop a hill, Ravin stood before the door and bellowed, "Elder!"

I jumped a bit from the sudden loudness.

A second later an elderly beast man came out wrapped in a fur shawl, he held himself upright with a long cane. He looked pretty elderly at least in his face, but the man build looked no more than the body of a man in his early fifties. He even had more muscle density than Ravin. Who was more toned than burly. I definitely prefer him this way. I never liked muscular guys. They scare me I feel like they would crush me.

The elder looked at me before turning to look at Ravin, "I see you've found yourself a mate. My prince. She's incredibly beautiful."

Wait, how does he know? Do I suddenly have a smell or something that indicates that? I don't smell anything.

"Thank you elder, but there is something I need to confirm with you in private. If you have the time to hear me." Ravin said to the elder.

"Come in my prince, I always have time for you." The elder smiled.

Ravin carried me into the hut and sat me down on a slab of stone. What is this place?

"Elder, when…uh, when we formed the mate contract, instead of a white or black light, or even the sliver light for the royals. A blue light was formed. I've never seen a bright blue light as a contract binder before. Is there something wrong? I know we are mated now I now could still feel the bind on my neck as we speak."

"Blue you say." He turned to look at me, before turning back to Ravin, "My prince…you have been blessed."

"Blessed? What do you mean?" Ravin asked.

Yea how is he blessed, huh. Where are you getting at old man.

"It was said that when beast men were create, 4 types of binds were created, the common binds of black and white that brings strength, the silver bind for the royals that brings prosperities, and the blue bind; the blessed bind. Unlike the other 3, the blue bind blessed their contracts with all three elements: prosperity, strength, and health. Because of this, the female of those time became jealous, it was said that the blue binder was a beautiful woman and blessed by the Heavens. Every beast man wanted for her to mate with them. Leaving the other 2 binder livid with anger. They killed the blessed binder by poisoning her drink at the first beast summit. Any of those that were blessed by her binds were in despair after she perished. She had no heir to take her place. So, the blue bind became extinct. Those that were forced to become contract less died from heartbreak. I'm not sure how true this story is, it has been passed down for generations…however, if you say the blue bind was what binds you, you mustn't tell anyone. This female could be in trouble. If anyone gets wind of this, they will want to use her as a breeding pawn so that any children from her will be rare, if she bears a female that child will carry her blessed binds. And if other females find out about it the circle of jealous will happen again. Who knows what can happen."

What the actually fuck? Blessed binds? I just got to this world, why does my life have to get complicated?

"Can it be possible that all this is just a coincident?" before I knew it the words already left my mouth.

The elder looked at me, "No I believe not little female." He smiled sadly.

Well, that's simply great.

"Thanks, elder, I still have to greet my father and mother. So, we shall leave you to yourself." Ravin said to the elder.

"Let's go female." He reached out to grab me.

"Ravin…since we are mates, shouldn't you call me by my name instead of female? Its sound kind of degrading to me." I said trying to sound less annoyed than I already am. I mean if we are supposed to be life partners, shouldn't he ask for my name? this beast. I swear.

"I apologize, it was not my intention, things happened so fast I forgot. Please do not be upset with me. What is your name that you want me to call you?" he asked.

"It is Krystina…but you can call me Tina" I told him.

"Tina…what a nice name." he smiled gently.

Actually, it's a pretty common name…but I'll just keep that to myself.

After we addressed the issue about what to call me, Ravin picked me up and continued to exit the elder's hut.

"So, where are we going now?" I asked him.

"My parents home. Our new home." He answered.

Everywhere we walked people stared, he might not feel weird about it, but I do, "Hey Ravin…I could walk. There's no need for you to carry me like this." I told him.

"You will stay where you are, have you forgotten that you sprain your ankle? Don't pay these beast men no mind. You are safe with me, no one will bother you." Geez this guy.

Finally, after what seem forever, we stopped in front of a large two-story home that seem to be made out of stone. The crude design made the fortress look very intimidating. It was noticeably big and had lots of beast men with spears guarding the place.

I remember him mentioning he's a prince, and the elder also addressed him as "my prince" Ravin must not be an ordinary beast. Did I snag myself a royalty of this world? Talk about a lucky coincidence.

We walked through the beast men with spears bowed their head slightly and moved aside.

"Ah, my prince you've arrived just in time. You're parents are waiting for you in the dinning hall." A man with an intimidating physique came toward us. I couldn't help but notice the large gash across his chest.

"Erwin, thanks for informing me."

"My pleasure your highness."

God…all these identity and roles are giving me a migraine. I'm so stressed right now. I just want to lay somewhere and sleep.

Ravin walked east after entering the building and before we knew it, we came into an open clearing that was surprisingly beautiful.

"Oh, my son, you've arrive—" she looked at me with a confusing look imprinted on her face, "Oh? You brought a female—wait don't tell me, have you become mates?!" she happily squealed.

"Is that true, son?" a man came forward.

Wow…Ravin really look like this man, Ravin is much more handsome, but this man looks handsome as well.

Ravin stood firm, as he confidently faced his father, "Yes father, this is Tina my mate."

His father turned his attention to me, a smile gently graces his face, "Hello Tina, please take care of my son from now on."

"Uh, I will do my best…sir." I replied awkwardly.

"No need to be shy. Our men are great beasts. We are in good hands." Ravin's mother said gently as she stood beside her mate.

Ravin's mother looks so young as well as beautiful. It's surprising that she can have such a handsome son.

"Mother! I heard brother is back from his hunt." Came a husky voice.

I turned my head and there at the entrance stood a tall handsome man with black shoulder length hair and smile to die for.

"Leon. Come child." I'm guessing this is Ravin's brother?

He came forward, his size only a couple inches shorter than Ravin.

His eyes focused on me, and I couldn't help but look at him as well. I mean the guy is really handsome, so much so he's on par with Ravin.

A deep blush creeps on his face as he forces himself to turn away to face his mother.

"Leon, little brother." Ravin murmured in a gentle tone. Anyone with ears could tell how much Ravin loves his brother, the tone is full of love.

"Brother, how has these two weeks been treating you, did the negotiation went well with the cheetah's clan?"

Cheetahs' clan? Two weeks? Has he been wondering before he came across me?

"Everything went smoothly, by the next beast summit we should have more than what we've had in the past. With that being said, Leon, this is my mate. Tina. I want to introduce her to everyone I love. She will be the person I hope to spend the rest of my life with." Ravin smiled brightly.

He turns to me, a look I couldn't quite put my hands on, "Ah, yes. Hello. I am Leon, the younger brother. It's a pleasure to meet the female who tamed my brother's heart finally. I mean, many have tried and failed but you've succeeded, what a feat." He smiled.

Why does it sound so sarcastic coming from him. Maybe I'm just imagining it, "Yes, thank you Leon."

"YES! Tonight, we shall have a feast, to celebrate my oldest son finally having a mate." The king of the lion beast exclaimed.

It's only in name I wanted to yell, it's not like we're really mated at least not now. I could feel Ravin heart beating rapidly against my palm that is resting against his chest. He seems so excited. I hope he doesn't forget the promise he made me about not forcing me to do anything I don't want.

The feast was definitely huge, many people gather to eat, most ate raw which was queasy to witness but a few women like the lion's wife and a few other female beasts including myself enjoyed the meat cooked. Some even morphed into their animal form to enjoy the fresh kill. God, I want to barf.

"Are you okay, Tina?" came Ravin concern voice, "You look a bit pale."

"I'm not use to seeing meat being devour fresh like that." I whispered to him, "Beside that,

there is another matter I like to address while we're at it, do I have to sit on your lap like this? It's kind of embarrassing."

He let out a low chuckle that made my inside churn for some reason.

"It's normal for us to make sure our female is comfortable as possible. I rather you sit on me than sit on the hard ground. I don't want your bottom bruised." He said this as his face suddenly reddened, what is he thinking?

"I'm not that delicate to bruise just by sitting on the ground, Ravin." I frowned.

He tightens his grip around my body as he inches closer to my ears and whispered, "But I like having you sit on me, you smell so good and feel so good in my arms."

Damn how can he openly flirt like this? How many girls has he woo saying things like this I wonder.
