Part 2Transported to the Beast World: The Wolf King's Exclusive Mate and Our Eight Cubs The wolf clan's bloodline was fading.

The next morning, I woke up covered in Lucas's scent. I had no idea what this meant in the beast world.

The group of wolf beauties in the courtyard huddled together, their eyes shooting daggers at me. In just one night, I seemed to have become public enemy number one.

I was moved to a special room, supposedly designed for humans, with strange charms hanging on the walls. It was close to Lucas's chambers but heavily guarded.

The leopard granny was right - after sleeping with the prince, I no longer had to starve. No wolf dared to threaten me anymore.

Lucas treated me very well, sending all sorts of cooked dishes and desserts every day. Though some were quite strange, it was better than having nothing to eat.

People outside said Lucas was cold and disliked women, but I knew better now - those rumors were complete nonsense!

Since that night, he seemed addicted to me. As soon as he returned to his chambers, he would pounce on me relentlessly. From the bed to the bath to his desk, nowhere was spared. I would come to my senses to find it was already dawn outside.

Even when handling official business, he often held me in his lap, kissing and nibbling. I was sore all over from his attentions but didn't dare complain.

In the end, I secretly went to the kind leopard granny to pour out my troubles. After hearing my description, a knowing smile appeared on her face.

She patted my hand and said meaningfully, "Silly girl, the prince is marking you! In our world, that's an immense blessing!"

"Once you're carrying his pups, you'll have a bright future ahead! You'll be a hero to the wolf clan and never want for anything again."

I listened in a daze, suddenly thinking of a serious question. "What if I give birth to a human baby?"

This stumped the leopard granny. She frowned in thought.

That night, curled up in Lucas's arms, I worked up the courage to ask him.

"Prince... if we have a baby, will it be a wolf cub or a human?"

Lucas's hand paused in my hair, then he casually replied, "You're still young. Don't worry about children yet."

But from the next day on, after each time we were intimate, he would feed me a strange fruit. He said it was good for my body, so I didn't think much of it and ate them.

It wasn't until much later that I realized they were contraceptive fruits. Clearly, Lucas never intended for me to bear his heir.

On normal days, as long as Lucas was in the territory, he liked to keep me by his side. During his free time, he would teach me the beast language and writing.

I have to say, the beast script was even harder to write than human languages. My writing looked like chicken scratch. But Lucas was very patient, guiding my hand stroke by stroke.

I loved writing his name in beast script the most, my heart fluttering with each careful line.

Lucas understood my tastes well. Every time he returned from a trip, he would bring me exotic beast delicacies - glowing berries, strangely textured mushrooms, even the legendary "divine nectar".

Without realizing it, my heart grew stranger. When I couldn't see Lucas, I was always thinking of him. When he was by my side, even if he was busy with work, I felt utterly content just quietly staying near him.

Soon it was time for the annual "Full Moon Festival", held at a distant sacred site. As the Wolf Prince, Lucas had to attend.

The night before he left, he pinned me down in various places, frantically taking me as if to make up for a month's worth. I was reluctant for him to go too.

That night I was unusually proactive. Lucas was so excited his beast tail manifested, wagging happily.

After he left, I wilted completely. Even my favorite roast chicken wings lost their appeal.

Suddenly I remembered a beast proverb Lucas taught me: "A lone wolf howls at the moon, its solitary shadow sleepless."

I didn't understand it then, but now I felt it deeply. As someone who had never dated before, I finally realized - this must be love. Without me noticing, it had already carved itself into my bones.

The day Lucas returned, he dragged me into the room without a word. I thought he wanted me, but he mysteriously pulled out a glowing fruit from his robes.

"Try this. It's fruit from the divine tree. I managed to secretly pick one."

I was so touched tears nearly fell. The divine fruit was a treasure of the beast world. Even the Wolf King was said to be reluctant to eat it, yet Lucas secretly brought one back for me.

Taking a bite, a strange energy immediately flowed through my body. I felt light as air, as if I could fly.

In that moment, I even thought that if I could stay with Lucas like this forever, maybe never returning to the human world wouldn't be so bad.

But I forgot I was just a "surrogate". How could I dream of growing old together with the Wolf Prince?

Not long after, news spread throughout the beast world that the wolf clan would be forming an alliance through marriage with the tiger clan.

The tiger clan's eldest daughter was coming to stay in wolf territory, clearly with the air of a future queen.
