Physical Strength

The next morning, Lux came into Rin's room to find her asleep. There wasn't anyone in her bed so she wasn't exhausted the next day when she was working.

Lux felt touched when she told the others when they got home, that she was going to refrain our usual activities at home. Though , he was always up to making her feel good.

Of course, he respected her choice and left her be along with the others.

Lux came over and sat next to her on the bed, and bend over and kissed her forehead as he stroked her hair, asking her to wake up.

Rin peaked her eyes, realizing it was still dark and saw Lux coming to wake her up. She stretched her arm out and wrapped her arms around him and kissed his lips.

Responding to her lips, Lux easily slid his tongue in and began licking her cheeks and back to her tongue once more. Wrapping it as lightly gripped his hair, pulling him closer to her.

As much as Lux wanted to explore her beautiful body. He broke there kiss as he felt himself beginning to throb, wanting to connect himself to her.

He gently brushed her hair away as he wanted to see her face while he pants. " As much as I would to continue this, we still have our appointment today. Will you still join me?"

Rin was craving his touch and body, though because she wanted to devour this beautiful man. She knew he was thinking of there family, which was important to her. She nodded as he kissed her forehead, stood up and went to wait for her in the training grounds

After sometime, Rin went down to the training grounds. Which was enclosed in a basement of sorts to block out the cold and some targets for her bow and arrows

Lux eagerly ran up to her, as he picked her up and spinned her around.

" Alright, we're going to start with some stretches!" As he pumped his fist in the air

Rin didn't want to disappoint Lux, so she did as he in instructed and by the time time they got to bodybuilding, it was surprisingly easier then she expected. Too easy really, Lux advice I do 100 push ups, and I exceeded and went to 900 before she began to feel which she had reached 1000

Lux who watched her, was impressed. " a...are you okay? Do you need to take a break?"

Surprisingly enough, Rin wanted to keep going, for some reason it really felt like she was becoming abnormally strong and wanted to test our her physical abilities.

After working out her body muscles, after blowing through her work out she was finally ready to use her bow and arrow .

For some reason, she felt she had already knew what to do.

So without assistance from Lux, she he had weapon ready as she pointed at the the circular target with the bullseye., her posture was firm and confident, releasing the arrow and striking the bullseye within seconds

"L...little fox, d....did you really need help training? Or have you always been incredible? " As Lux began to sweat as he looked back from her target

Rin chuckled, she wanted to try with more around. She held her stance and let it fly for exactly 8 more rounds, easily striking the same bullseye .

Rin had an idea. What about other weapons? When she came to that very question, Lux spoke up and asked her if she wanted to try to wield his sword.

Rin gripped the sword in her hand, which was actually light to her. So she ran and began wielding it with ease and at a fast pace

Rin and Lux was already planning to go back to the blacksmith shop. Rin was so excited, then Lux brought up hunting.

Very eager, Rin quickly agreed she felt she was ready for the world at this point and to come up with a plan to take her revenge on the Empire that eradicated her entire tribe.

She clenched her fist as Lux watched he realized there was more she held to heart that she's never told anyone.

So Lux picked her up, snapping her back to focus in what was infront of her. Rin smiled and grabbed his face and kissed his lips

When she pulled away, she noticed he was still looking at her "who do you want me to kill?"

Rin stroked his neck as she gazed into his eyes, she leaned in and whispered. " The Royal Family in the Empire"

" Done" as Lux stroked her cheek

" You know it's treason" as Lux began carrying her inside after her life changing work out

"Doesn't matter" as he carried her to the dining room where Julius had breakfast set out for everyone.

Lux brought her to her seat, then went and sat in his seat.

Rin sighed as she looked down to her meal, and began to eat.

As Lux began to munch, he glanced back to Rin. Becoming angry at the Empire for causing such an expression. He was ready to eradicate every single being in the Empire, though she said it was the Royal Family.

The Empress is actually my mother's sister, so meeting with the Royal family was as easy as cutting butter.

Rufus who noticed tension when Rin and Lux came in, went ahead and bit the bullet. " why do you two look so troubled?"

Rin didn't have anything to hide, so she set her silverware down as she looked around to her mates along with the pups, They deserve to know the truth about her.

Rin sighed as she began her story with her tribe that took place over 60 years and what had happened with the crown prince at the time.

As she finished her story, every single beastmen in that room completely understood her need for revenge. They were ready to set foot in the Royal Palace along side her.

Rin wrapped up her answer as she looked at Rufus, " moments ago out on the training grounds, I realized my physical strength is as much as my mana, and it's exactly what I need to proceed with my revenge"

Lux stabbed her pancake and fed it to her. " but first, you need to eat"

Rin munched as she about laughed and caved.

Once everyone was finished with there meals,looked up at each other and back to Rin as they tried to think of ways to help her

Julius picked up the dishes along with Haru as they went into the kitchen.

Rin began walking out of the dining room when Rufus hugged her from behind and kissed her on her cheek. " Whatever you need us to do, we will do it."

Rin stroked his arms as she embraced his warmth. " I will."

As Rin went to get clean up, Lux and Rufus went to the kitchen so they could discuss the events with Julius and Haru.

As a matter of fact, when they entered the kitchen. Julius and Haru was sitting down at the table with there faces covered by there hands as they sighed.

Lux and Rufus grabbed the other two chairs and sat down with them, as they looked up to see who had sat down.

Almost everyone in the room had heard of the events or was told of the events when they were just pups or cubs. Haru didn't know the events of the outside world, so this was news to him.

" To think it was their soul survivor turned out to be our mate" as Rufus looked up to the ceiling.

" Rin only awakened a few days before she came to the temple as well" as Julius looked at his hands

Now her research makes since as Julius thought back on the books she read. She truly was like a new baby chic. Though he didn't necessarily remember anything before the first time he shifted into his human form.

As they all sat for a while, Rin walked into the kitchen and found everyone in the same atmosphere she had left them in. So she figured she would go and check on them.

The men were so immersed in still processing what she had told them that they hadn't realized she was standing infront of them., so she grabbed an orange, and climbed in Haru's lap as he became startled

Rin looked back at him with her cute little smirk that they all adore so much, and kissed his lips

As she turned back around " I understand your concerns, although my revenge is important you are all important to me as well."

As Haru gazed at her, he wrapped his arms around her waist as he rested his face onto her shoulder. " The fact they can eradicate any of our species is despicable and the fact that it happened to your family, we just cannot let it slide"

" it makes sense how you came to be with Peggy" as Julius sighed. He and Lux both locked eyes on.

" Another reason as to why it's important to make sure your protected but also other species may be in harms way. "As Lux slouched over with his fist holding up his chin

"Yeah, I'm not going go have them take anything else away from me. Not anymore" as Rin looked up

" So. If your all going to help me with this" I need two things from you as she climbed the table

The 4 immediately got up, and went to kneel infront of her. " Your support and your safety."

As her voice became stern, "meaning I need you to protect our home and that you are able to protect yourselves.

"Lastly, if all else fails. We are to go south, my mother was able secure a village for myself. So we can go down there along with any future cubs or pubs or ogre in Haru's case

"We will not fail, and if we do then we were not fit to be your mates" as Lux remained his gaze at Rin.

Rin for the first time became irritated with Lux as she hoped down and grabbed her face to hold his gaze " whether your fit to be my mates or not, are up to me. If we succeed together, then we succeed together and we fail together, then we fail together."

Rin kissed his lips and then pulled back to look at him "this life, and the next, you and everybody else that is in this room is mine. Whether you want to be or not."

Lux finally laughed as he gazed back at her " What idiot wouldn't want be your mate Rin."

Rin relaxed her grip and backed away to see all of her men. " I just want you to be safe, simple as that "

"So, I propose we relocate to my village in the south." As Rin contemplated there answer.

" you already know where I stand" as Julius looked up at her. Yeah. Rin knew, he would follow her to the ends of the world

Rufas immediately agreed with Julius. "You just said we're yours. The same goes for you and that applies where you go, we follow."

Then Haru who couldn't imagine life itself with Rin at all. Although he enjoyed working with Peggy, it always distresses him that he could run into Mei.

Rin was his rightful home and his rightful partner that was chosen by the Goddess herself and he adored her

Then of course Lux. " without a doubt, however. I believe we should go after we deal with those people that call themselves Royal. Though if you really want to go, I won't object."

" well, we need to come up with a strategy and a plan before we go"as Julius chimed in

" if we're going to stay here then everybody needs to train" as Rin became stern

" of course, we will all train together" as Lux said confidently.

If course after, everyone else agreed. Though I couldn't help but worry about Haru or Julius who were the most gentle out of the 4.

As everyone came to a conclusion, Julius and Haru finished the dishes, as Lux went up to get cleaned and Rufus went to go check on the maid's and nanny all with our pups.
