Aurora had to reluctantly admit that Navi had been right.
The strange restlessness that had consumed her thoughts during the first few days gradually settled into something manageable. It didn't disappear completely, but it no longer dominated every waking moment. As embarrassing as it was for her to admit, even if only to herself, the natural rhythm of this world's females wasn't something she could simply ignore through sheer willpower.
She still found the entire concept unfair. Very unfair. But complaining wasn't going to change the biology of Beastworld.
Besides, it wasn't as though she had much choice. With four beast husbands - or two husbands and two soon-to-be husbands - whose bonds with her grew stronger by the day, avoiding all intimacy forever had never been a realistic option.
Kellen, however, remained exactly as infuriating as ever.
