Thea was currently facing mortal danger.
After returning home, Thea immediately gathered all of her mothers except for Bekka and asked the question that sealed her fate.
“What would you do if something bad happened to me?”
Immediately, there was pandemonium.
The women all rushed at the young girl, each one of them trying to pick her up and plaster her face with affection.
“We would be devastated!”
“We would burn the world to avenge you!”
“We would wage war on the afterlife itself to get you back!”
“Nobody is bothering you, are they?!”
Thea could not even answer a single question hurled her way as she was currently pinned between Valerie’s abs and Lisa’s breasts.
If her father were awake he would find her position to be quite enviable.
“Mm! MMF!!”
“Guys you’re suffocating her!” Lailah realized.
“Ah!”
“Sorry, dear!”
The women quickly gave Thea some room that she desperately needed and she spent several seconds trying to catch her breath.
Once her cheeks returned from purple to their usual pink, Lailah kneeled down in front of her.
“Sweetie.. can you tell us why you asked us such a thing?”
Thea suddenly felt a little shy with all of her mothers staring at her so hard like this.
She slowly began to twirl her fingers as she tried to figure out how to say what was on her mind.
Luckily, she had a younger sister who had no difficulty speaking up.
“Sister thinks we’re going to throw her away because she’s human!”
“WHAT?!”
Without exception, all of the women present could not help but scream out at the absurdity of that idea.
“Why would you think that?” Lisa asked in horror, her breasts once again smushed against Thea’s face.
“She’s too big for you to breastfeed, Lisa! Let her go!” Audrina reminded.
The dragoness meekly obliged and Thea once again took a moment to catch her breath.
Thea eventually explained the basis of her fears.
Her mothers listened to every word without interrupting and it was evident on all of their faces that it was hard to hear.
“That’s why I was going to drink from the fountain, so that I could be different like all of you and you wouldn’t abandon me…” Thea confessed, her eyes red and puffy.
Immediately, all of the wives’ eyes went wide.
Audrina : “We would never!”
Lisa : “You’re apart of our family now, human or not!”
Lailah : “How could you even think such a thing?”
Valerie : “That was dangerous Thea! You might not have survived the transformation!”
Thea was gobsmacked to see such genuine concern, meanwhile Mira was a few feet away tossing in satisfaction.
She knew her family would never separate!
“The point is..” Lisa came next to Thea and hugged her carefully so as not to suffocate her.
“We love you just as you are. There is no need to change yourself and if your father were awake he would be heartbroken to know that you felt otherwise.”
All of her mothers nodded silently in agreement.
A small twinge of guilt arose in the heart of the young girl.
“I’m sorry…”
“Don’t apologize.” Lailah said as she planted a small kiss on Thea’s forehead. “Just tell us what we can do to make you feel more comfortable with us.”
“Nothing.” Thea had now regained her usual radiant smile. “I am already very-“
Mira suddenly rushed forward and pulled her sister to her level.𝗈𝚟𝗅xt.𝒸𝑂𝑚
She began whispering suggestions in the ear of her older sister.
Thea turned around and twirled her fingers she relayed her sister’s demands. “I would feel more comfortable if we had cookies for dinner.”
Mira nodded at her side, satisfied.
The wives all gave each other knowing smiles.
“Oh? What kind of cookies, dear?” Lailah asked jokingly.
Mira pulled her sister’s arm again and whispered more demands in her ear.
“Peanut butter.” Thea said flatly.
“But if we feed you nothing but sweets you’ll get sick, kiddo.” Valerie reminded.
“I can just stop eating when I feel full and give the rest to Mira.” she reasoned.
Audrina suddenly smirked as she thought of an idea.
“But Thea we’re doing this to make YOU feel more comfortable so we can’t give them to Mira~”
“Uwaah??” Little Mira suddenly looked like she was a few seconds away from crying.
Unable to hold it in any longer, all of the women suddenly burst out laughing.
There was little more amusing than the antics of children who were trying to be clever.
Eventually, Thea joined in the laughter as well, leaving only Mira with a pouting expression.
‘I was so close! What went wrong?!’
For a moment, the girls reveled in the love they had for their family, silently missing the two members that were not present.
This was what their life was now.
Suddenly, Audrina immediately stopped laughing and looked out the window.
A serious expression formed on her face and she suddenly became incredibly annoyed.
‘Bastards… how dare they interrupt my time with my family like this…’
Soon everyone noticed the vampire’s annoyed look and their expression’s became serious as well.
“What’s the matter, mama?” Mira suddenly asked.
“Oh… it looks like those uninvited guests arrived a bit earlier than expected.”
After a few more seconds, the other wives were able to sense it as well.
Soon there was a knock at the door and Absalom and Malenia entered.
“Pardon the intrusion my ladies but-“
“We know.” Lisa said. “How long until both armies are ready?”
The demon showed off an uncharacteristic toothy smile. “We are always ready.”
The women nodded and went to their respective closets to don their individual armor prepared by Valerie.
Even little Mira had her own junior sized outfit specialized for combat.
With the exception of Audrina who sat on the bed with Thea in her lap. ‘I feel so left out.’
“Where is Bekka? I haven’t seen her in hours.”
It was then that Audrina realized that she could not sense Bekka.
Such a case could only be possible for two reasons. Either Bekka’s mastery of darkness had gotten so high that she could now hide from even a demigod, or…
The vampire shuddered, unwilling to think of such a thing.
“I cannot sense her at all.” Audrina nodded. “Its like she’s not even… in… the… city…”
The girl’s noticed Audrina’s words trail off and stared at her in mild worry.
Audrina stood up and walked out of the room with Thea still in her arms.
Finished getting dressed, the other girls followed behind, their concern growing by the second.
They followed Audrina all the way downstairs into the cellar below.
Lailah conjured a small flame to illuminate their dark surroundings.
It was then that the group came to a stop and their mouths all fell open in utter surprise.
Floating a few feet in front of them was Bekka, and she was glowing with a dark purple light.
“I can’t believe it… she did it.” Audrina muttered in shock.
At first, she did not sense anything strange.
But all of a sudden there was a sort of ‘blind spot’ in her senses.
It was as if an entire area had suddenly been turned into complete nothingness.
It was then that she recognized that an aura was being released.
And it just so happened to be one that she would be able to recognize no matter how much time had passed.
“I.. can’t feel her.” Lailah muttered.
The rest of the group soon realized that no matter how hard they tried, they could not feel Bekka’s aura or the breath of life from her.
“I-Is she-“Mira began. Immediately fearing the worst.
“No, she’s not.”Audrina answered. Unable to take her eyes off the spectacle in front of her.
They watched in great fascination as Bekka’s body began to change.
Her skin lightened, resembling a simple warm brown. The fur on her chest and legs became bushier and softer to the touch. Her muscles compressed and seemed to explode with power before she finally opened her eyes, revealing their illustrious orange to the room.
On her face, two tattoos resembling jagged lines formed on her cheeks. The line on her left cheek appeared to be longer and went all the way down to her chin.
As she slowly fell to the ground, the stares from her family made her blush slightly. “Hehe…What’s going on guys?”
The two children rushed forward and hugged each of her legs.
“You evolved!”
“Congratulations on evolving, mommy!”
Despite the strength flooding through her body, Bekka was easily made weak from the embrace of her daughters.
“My kids are the bestttt!!!!” she screamed as she delivered loads of furry snuggles.
“Yes they are but you can smother them later.” Lailah said with a smile. “For now we have guests to entertain.”
Bekka’s eyes suddenly shone brighter as her full lips spread into a predatory smile.
What better way to test her new powers than this?
The group walked outside to see their entire army standing at the ready.
In front were the Rabisu generals along with Malenia.
Bekka was elected to be the substitute leader of this battle and stepped forward to give her own version of a speech.
“LET’S GIVE EM HELL BOYS!”
In response, the roars of demons erupted into the night, sending chills down the spines of the army of invaders.
“RRRRAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!”
Bekka waived her hand and the rabisu took to the skies.
She and the rest of the wives led the rest of the demons on foot to meet the approaching army.
“Open the gate.”
