Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse

A while later...

After getting the soul and pregnancy part out of the way, the group began talking about random stuff.

Of course, they asked each other how they were doing. They didn't get into detail since they wanted that conversation to be spoken about in the flesh.

They then moved on to little Raya who had been sitting away from the group. Audrey had noticed her by mistake, and before the others could react, she had disappeared and was now pinching the helpless Raya's cheeks with her sitting on her lap.

Raya wanted to get away but unfortunately, her body was still foreign to her and she couldn't exert even a quarter of her strength with it yet.

And so, she could only take the embarrassment from being treated like a baby by Audrey. Sure, she was technically still a child, but she was an intelligent child. This made her feel that she should be treated and respected like an adult.

Unfortunately, all Audrey saw was a cute little child she just couldn't help but want to hug and protect. She completely ignored all of Raya's complaints and kept on hugging her.

It was like she was unloading all her emotions of not being able to be a mother anytime soon onto Raya.

The news that it took a long time for Evolvers to successfully conceive hit her the hardest. After that day with Muku she had been entertaining thoughts of having a baby for so long that she started desiring it.

However, after a while, she realised that she wasn't pregnant which felt a little sad. But she thought that it wouldn't take long to have one after Muku returns for them to have one, but now... It was so frustrating.

Sure, having a child so soon could add to their problems since they weren't at the peak of the world which would allow them to relax yet, but still, she wanted a baby damn it! And that's all that mattered!

The other girls soon noticed Raya and joined Audrey in a split second. She was just too cute to resist in her human form. In fact, they might have screamed and fainted if they had seen her in a tiny dragon form. That form was definitely the ultimate weapon against girls.

However, Chloe who was going to join the fun as well felt her hand getting dragged from behind. Before she could react she was pulled away from the room through a portal.

"What's going on?" Chloe asked the person who pulled her away. Confusion was written on her face with a little blush which seemed to be steadily increasing.

"Sorry about the suddenness of this. I just wanted to speak to you alone. And this was the quickest way and probably also my only chance" Muku replied seriously.

"Oh?... But why?... Ah!" Chloe replied shyly. Her blush had gotten a few shades darker by that point.

She was then surprised by how Muku suddenly pulled her into a hug. She was so taken by surprise that she screamed a little.

Her heart almost beat out of her chest. Muku had never been so forward before. So what the hell was happening? And why her out of everyone? Did heiss her a little more or maybe he wanted to do some slightly risqué things away from the eyes of the rest of the group?

Such thoughts went through Chloe's head as she felt Muku's strong arms around her body. Her head rested on his manly chest. She even sneakily sniffed him. His scent felt quite intoxicating to her. If she had her physical body, she probably wouldn't still be dry in a certain area. No, she definitely wouldn't be dry.

Despite all that, she was still confused as to what was going on. She tried thinking about it, but there was nothing which came to mind on why it was her instead of anyone else present there.

"How are you holding up?" Muku suddenly asked softly while still hugging her. His arms even tightened a bit more around her.

"Hhm?... Oh, that. You're still thinking about that?... That actually makes me quite happy. Thank you for caring so much. I really mean it. However, I have moved on from that... Well, mostly. And I think you should do the same. The past can't be changed. All we can do is soldier on. It's actually a philosophy I learned from you. So please, continue moving forward. Move forward with me" Chloe who finally understood what was going on replied emotionally.

She realised that Muku was still thinking about her father's death. To think that after all the time which has passed by and all the things which had happened, it was still so important to him that he pulled her aside the first moment he got.

It made her feel warm inside. A happy smile appeared on her face. She then hugged him tightly as well. She could do that now that she knew what was going on.

Muku was slightly caught off guard by the action. Like himself, Chloe had never been the forward type... What he didn't know was that if they were both physically present, she might have jumped him. That's how emotional she felt in that moment.

"Hey, can you look down for a bit?" Chloe suddenly spoke.

"Hhm? Mmm?!!!" Muku made an inquisitive sound as he looked down. And before he knew it, Chloe's lips were on his own which surprised him even more.

He was not expecting it. And she had kissed him in her soul state, which was probably even more intimate than using her physical body.

After that, the girl wriggled out of his grasp and jumped back into the portal behind her. She was just too embarrassed to stay longer. Her bravery has taken her as far as it could for the time being.

Muku stood there dazed for almost a minute before moving again. Chloe's kiss was still vivid in his mind. It felt even more magical than the kisses he had before somehow. Maybe because it was because he had kissed her soul...

Just when he was about to go back and join the others. A figure stepped out of the portal. And it was...

"Layla? What are you doing he... Hey! What's wrong?!" Muku asked, but before he could finish the icy girl swung her fist at him. Which he didn't dodge since it wasn't strong but he still asked why she did it.

"How dare you leave like that? Fine, you had to leave. I get it. But why did you not take Jade with you? Do you know how annoying she is? I could barely hold myself back from stabbing her in her sleep. And Chloe, do you know how hard it was to bring her back from the dark place she had gone after the incident? I was so clueless I bulldozed my way through and luckily managed to bring her back. Then mom, despite being a good leader, isn't cut out to be the highest level of authority. It gets too overwhelming for her sometimes and I have to come up with a way I can make her feel better. The others also required attention in some way. Lastly, me... I had no social skills at all, yet I just had to notice all the issues they were going through and had to try and fix them. Which is hard when I'm a mess myself. I..." Layla suddenly began unloading all her pent-up emotions on Muku.

He's quietly let her say everything worth noting she wanted to say. Just when she was about to start putting herself down, he pulled her into a hug. The tightest and most present hug he had ever given her before.

For it was in that moment that he realised that just because Layla always seemed so strong and dependable. That didn't mean that she always was what she appeared to be. She has her weak moments as well.

And it seemed like she cared more and paid more attention to the group than he thought. He honestly thought that to her only Audrey and Chloe were truly close and the others were semi-close at best. But now... To think that Layla was such a person behind that cold exterior.

And their meeting seems to have come at the right time. Which was before she blew up from her pent-up emotions.

Also, a naturally calm person like Layla really shouldn't hold themselves back for too long. Such an action will only make them less social and colder. Which was something he didn't want.

Now he was more than grateful to Mrs C for bringing the girls to him. Who knows what sight would have met him if he had waited another year before seeing them?

Maybe it wasn't just Layla who was at the end of her road... Now he needed to talk to each of them separately.

If there were any ticking time bombs in them, they needed to be diffused before they separated.

"I'm really sorry. You've done well. I'm proud of you. Don't worry, we'll be together again soon. And I'll spank Jade for you. How does that sound?" Muku spoke to Layla lovingly while his hand moved up and down her back gently.

Of course, he didn't touch anywhere he shouldn't... He wasn't that much of a horn-dog. He wanted to do it, but he knew when to advance or retreat. And it wasn't the time or place to advance.

"Hehe. Yeah, that does sound good. And please make it hurt" Layla giggled in Muku's arms while wiping away the tears which had formed in her eyes.

Her giggle was quite cute. So much so Muku wished to hear it regularly. Unfortunately, with Layla's personality, it was a rare treat.

"So, when are we kissing?" Layla who was feeling a lot better now suddenly asked Muku seriously.

"What?!" Exclaimed while jumping away from her.
