Chapter 287: Celebration

Chapter 287: 287: Celebration

Zuna explained how she had ended up together with someone she loved when she went back. The two of them had been staring passionately at each other from a young age.

It was a secret crush since childhood. But back then, women didn’t really have a say in whom they ended up with, so Zuna didn’t dare make a move.

So as she went home at that moment, the tribe had asked her if she wanted to get a mate. They had decided to throw a festival for her to pick a mate—a rare occurrence in her tribe.

In the festival, she was to pick whoever she wanted. And it was okay if she didn’t like anyone she saw; they’d do another for her until she found someone.

But on the first try, she had seen the one she truly loved. He had actually come to the selection. She had picked him without questions, and immediately they conducted their ceremony and became mates.

Sunnie smiled while listening to her story. She instantly pulled Zuna in for another warm hug as she said, "I’m so proud of you... I’m so happy..."

"Thanks," Zuna said.

Sunnie stared at her as she said, "Now I can’t wait to see your little cute one." She ran a hand through her stomach. "And you should also bring your husband along next time. We have to question him to know if he’s good enough for our Zuna."

Zuna smiled with a nod. "Sure, sure. I’ll do that." She said as they laughed.

"And I also heard about what happened... I couldn’t make it to be with you and help find Little Black," she said. "I hope all went well."

Sunnie shook her head with a smile. "No, don’t worry at all. It all went well. We came back safely and happily."

Zuna smiled, nodding. "That’s good, then."

Sunnie sighed as she said, "A lot has happened. We really have come a long way. Even now, me and Zuna are pregnant at the same time," Sunnie blurted out happily with a smile.

But as soon as she said that, the atmosphere fell silent.

It happened that everyone was actually paying attention to the lovely reunion before them. As soon as Sunnie had spilled that fact, everyone went mute, including her husbands.

"...."

"...."

Sunnie blinked in realization of what had happened. She had literally exposed the fact that she was pregnant—something Zayn and Karl were building up to say tonight.

Zuna held Sunnie’s hand. "What? Sister Sunnie is expecting?" She instantly smiled while staring at her stomach.

Sunnie smiled. She guessed it was already out and there was nothing much to say. She slowly nodded as she said, "Ehh... yes... surprise."

Zayn got up to his feet as he raised his wine, saying, "My dear mate is pregnant for my cub and Karl’s cub. So this celebration is partially to celebrate that as well."

He guessed he’d have to run along with it since Sunnie had already spilled it out.

Karl smiled with a nod.

"...."

The atmosphere was quiet as everyone stared at each other and then at Sunnie and her husbands. Soon, everyone burst out into celebration.

There was a loud sound of celebration and laughter as some began singing and dancing in the moment to celebrate.

Sunnie and her husbands stared around with smiles.

Zuna held onto Sunnie while leading her to take a seat. "Oh dear. For your two husbands at the same time? Oh dear, you really do have a lot to tell us!"

Elza and the other women came to sit around Sunnie. They had pushed her beast husbands aside to sit down around Sunnie and get the tea.

"I was suspicious but didn’t know what to say... but I guess everything is confirmed now," Elza shook her head with a smile.

"Tell us now, how did it all happen?" Another female teased.

Sunnie smiled, shaking her head. "Nothing much."

Even Mii and Maren had leaned closer to get a better look at what was happening. Ronan was also close by.

"Mama is pregnant? We’ll be getting new siblings?" Ronan blinked as Maren pushed his head aside.

"You’re a boy and a kid. What do you know?" Maren said.

"True. Leave the elderly girls to listen. We understand better," Mii insisted.

Luna and Lune sat there eating their meat without even caring about what was happening. They didn’t understand and didn’t want to understand. They simply enjoyed their meat while everyone went into full celebration mode over Sunnie’s pregnancy.

Everyone began offering more soup to Sunnie. Congratulations came from all ends, all sharing their heartfelt joy with her.

Some had even offered to give her some gifts later, and some had offered to perform for her as a gift.

Sunnie simply sat down with a smile while everyone took turns celebrating and pampering her. She really felt overwhelmed by it all as she smiled.

While the women were sitting around with Sunnie and discussing exciting female business, Sunnie’s beast husbands were sitting around with the beastmen also having their own discussions while the kids were running around that night and playing—Ronan included.

Zuna happily shared her married life while blushing as the females teased her. The more experienced married beast women happily shared their pieces of advice.

While Sunnie’s beast husbands on the other end also shared their piece of advice to the other beastmen.

The beastmen sat around listening as Sunnie’s beast husbands advised on being a married beastman and taking care of your female mate.

"Make sure you always feed her. Never let her go hungry at all," Luka said firmly with both arms folded.

The other beastmen nodded, taking notes aggressively.

"And also don’t make her angry at all. You must always make sure she’s happy. Don’t let her get too moody at all... make sure she’s having fun," Azure insisted.

"Oh yes!" The unmarried and married beastmen all took note—some to use for their mates and some to find a wife in the future.

"And remember... don’t act all cold to her. You’ll make them hate you more," Karl insisted. "Don’t act all cocky with your female at all... you should know that and not be rude around her."

"Oh," they nodded and took note of that.

Zayn sighed, running a hand through his chin as he said, "And make sure to pamper her endlessly. Don’t let her do a lot of work at all. Okay?"

They nodded, taking note as well.

Eris smiled as he added, "And make sure to kiss her more than three times in a day."

"..."

Everyone stared at him as Eris shrugged. "Yes. It’s a good way to create a beautiful love! Daily love!" He defended his advice as they slowly nodded and also took notes.

Zukka, who was sitting there with a smile, folded his arms as he said, "And also remember to tease them at least once a day." He said with a smile.

"....."

Everyone paused and stared at him.

"What? I’m saying the truth, though," he defended himself and his answer.

Eris shook his head as he said, "You’re not even married at all and don’t have a mate or so. So how are we supposed to believe that, eh?"

Little Black, who was sitting down beside Zukka, shook his head with a smile as he said, "He’s always like that."

Zukka stared down at him, patting him on the head. "At least I have you to tease daily, so that’s more than enough now."

"..." Little Black stared at him, speechless. "You...!"

Everyone burst into laughter while shaking their heads.

Eris and Luka shook their heads with smiles as they stared at each other. "I guess I shouldn’t have asked them," Eris said.

Luka shook his head as he said, "Don’t bother."

And they continued laughing while Zukka kept teasing and pulling Little Black by the ears.

"Leave my ears," Little Black insisted, shaking his head off, but Zukka kept pulling while smiling.

"No, I won’t," Zukka insisted, smiling while he kept teasing him by pulling his ears.

---

While they kept teasing themselves, Sunnie and the women were also having their own fun discussions over finding mates and all.

As the discussion progressed, Zuna smiled as she held Sunnie by the hand. "I’m so happy that we’re both pregnant at the same time. This feels like a blessing indeed," she expressed.

Sunnie shook her head with a smile as she said, "I wonder who’s going to deliver first—you or me?"

Everyone began making their suggestions. Some said Zuna would deliver first since she had been pregnant first, while some suggested it would be Sunnie since she had a faster delivery timeline.

While they debated over this, Sunnie casually smiled as she said, "Does it matter? As a matter of fact, I think that the two of us might even deliver on the same day." She said with a smile.

"Oh!" One of the women smiled. "That would be so nice," everyone else agreed as they smiled.

Sitting under the full moon, each group sat around chatting and laughing over topics dear to them. It was a fun atmosphere with everyone eating, drinking, and laughing while celebrating and getting together.

It was a warm atmosphere that night.

Amidst it all, the kids of the tribe ran around happily while playing, Ronan leading them while Luna joined in the fun soon, leaving the remaining meat for Lune.
