Beast Kingdom

The Ultimate Law

Violet's POV

"Violet, let's go take a walk." she says, and we start walking towards the stream

"Wow it's so pretty here at night time." I said back to her.

"Yeah. This is where I come to collect myself. I lost my mom because one of her males was over possessive. He hated sharing her and I understand where he came from. Sharing the one you love with other men isn't easy. We females are lucky, it's not vice versa. If it was, I don't know if I would be able to share my men. Isn't that hypocritical of me?" she asks me sadly.

"The situation for now is different so I get it." I said back to her.

We walked up towards a bigger stream and went to the back of this little cliff. At the back of the cliff is a waterfall. It's surrounded by red and purple flowers that are covered with fireflies. We walked closer to the cliff and there was a waterfall quietly behind it. Clarise starts walking inside the waterfall and I move back, not too sure if I should go in there.

"Don't worry, there are little steps I made. Follow me." she gestures and I follow her so I don't lose her.

"My mother was a winged beast but my father was a lion. Lions are very territorial. That's why I have good night vision because of my father. So I am one of the only females that can leave at night to be on my own. Night time is a peaceful time for me. I was able to find this waterfall and make my own little hideout." she says excitingly like a little child.

We climbed up about 5 steps and I saw a little nest made under the waterfall. You can literally see the village from here, the orchard and more.

"This is a beautiful hideout, Clarise." I said to her in awe.

"Yeah it is. I think tonight you may need it more than I do. I know that you have recently joined our tribe and want to find somewhat of a family here, but you have a choice. Just because you have Jee doesn't mean you have to choose him. My mother lost her way after they moved to a different village. She was infatuated with multiple men and my dad could not handle it anymore, so he left. He tried really hard to stay away from my mother. One day, another group of males came for trade and wanted mother. They fought for her and they won. I was stupid enough to run after and get my father. When he came back to rescue mom he was so enraged. He killed all of them. But he was more upset to find out mom had 4 more males added to her harem." she says back sadly.

"He must have been shocked." I said back to her sadly.

"He was. Since he had just fought all the men from the other villages, his adrenaline rush for fighting was high. Dad killed all but one of the males that mom had. When the last one was left, dad went after him, but what happened next no one expected that. Mom had jumped in the way to try to save him. The man she truly loved and learned to love. There are rules in the Beast Kingdom. Since females are rare, killing females is not allowed. So, father broke the highest law in the Beast Kingdom. He was sentenced to death. The night before his death sentence father was next to mother's grave crying. I felt so bad since I was the one who did this. If I never ran to tell him, I would have had both my parents here today." she says, and I see little trails of tears falling.

I go to her and start to comfort her. Sometimes a girl just needs another girl to vent to

"Father left and walked to the edge of the highest cliff and jumped into the sea. See cats, they can't swim. So it was instant suicide once he jumped. My dad was a very proud beastman so he must have wanted to do this his way. There is no way he would've made it without mom." she says back to me sadly.

"I'm so sorry you had to go through something like that, Clarise, I don't know what I would have done if I lost someone I loved that much like that." I said back to her, trying to comfort her.

"I tried to jump after him since I was a winged beast, but he was too heavy. I kept trying and trying and trying and my body got to the point where I had no strength left. When I woke up I was in our den and my mothers only male, Francis had pulled me out and rescued me. It was just Francis, my 9 siblings and I left. We all looked at each other and started crying. We had lost our fathers and only mother. It was the most horrible way to wake up. That is why I am telling you this. Pick the males that you want and you trust, not the convenient ones." she says and hugs me.

"Thank you for telling me something so personal. I know this must be hard for you." I say back to her

"I have 3 males and we all make it work. I trust them and I know they treat all my little ones the same as their own. There is a lot of jealousy but I make sure they equally have the attention they need from me and more. You have to not rush things and learn a lot about your male. Don't rush it, promise me you won't?" she asks me.

"Yes I won't." I looked at her concerned.

Why do I feel like there is more to this than she puts in?

"Is there anything else you want to tell me?" I asked her.

A surprised look comes on her face and it looks like she is fighting with herself to tell me something.
