" mom ? "
Azura wondered as she opened the letter .

She takes her time reading the letter , asher and Noah who were sitting beside her also read the letter and hummed.

Winston and Curtis were still busy laying around , they knew that Asher would jump around as he told them the news anyway . After all that manchild had a habit of overreacting about every little thing sometimes.

" hmm ........ my mom and dads have invited us to their place for dinner tonight . Mom says that there is a reason behind that and the reason shall be revealed after we are done with the dinner there , also she wants me to introduce my new males to her "
Azura sums up the whole letter to Curtis and winston who just nodded .

" so ? Are we going ? "
She asked to no one in particular.

" can't say no , can we ? "

" no we can't "

Azura happily ran and hugged her mother who was just as delighted to see her daughter , she was so happy to see her little girl back and also happy to know that her once little girl had matured into a woman with family now.

Leopard king , lante , Damien and Victor stood there as they admired the mother daughter moment , when their gazes landed on the four men standing behind azura who looked at her with the same loving eyes , they couldn't help but throw daggers at them , turns out Asher noticed them and smiled .

" Hello , it's been long hasn't it ? "
He said his greetings , mainly dedicated to Damien and leopard king who just gave him a glare.

" yea right ! "
Damien said , he was totally not going to pretend that he was okay with those four men who took his daughter away from them .

" my , you're still sour about that. Come one , grow up sir "
Asher said waving his hand in the air .

" can you all stop ! " leopard queen said and the glaring competition between the fathers and their sons-in-law ended immediately.

" it's been long since I saw my daughter , let's go inside child , the food has been prepared. I prepared your favourite food today "
The leopard queen said as she took azura inside with her and the males just followed them quietly.

The whole family was seated, azura's parents and azura's males on both sides .

" how about you introduce them to us azura ? "
Lante said . He was impressed with azura's choice , it was obvious that she was biased towards strength, the looks were just complementary. After all the child was sheltered and grown up with love by all her string fathers, though half of them were deceased now, lante was sure they must be just as pissed at those men for taking their daughrer away.

" yes ! "
Azura smiled brightly at lante and started introducing her males one by one .

" this is Asher "
Azura said.

" Hello folks "
Asher greeted .

" oh , how can we forget you ! "
Leopard king said sarcastically .

" onto the next one darling "
Victor said and Asher's eyes narrowed , he definitely didn't like him calling azura that , but it was fine since victor was her father too .

" this is Winston "
Azura said .

" Hello, it's nice to make an acquaintance "
Winston awkwardly said .

" hmm , the tiger prince, I've heard a lot about you "
Damien nodded.

" this is Noah "
Azura continued.

" hi "
Noah was the most anti social among the group , azura was glad that he at least said something.

" hmm , a peacock , that too a rare one , not bad "
Victor said smiling .

" and lastly, this is Curtis "
Azura finally said .

" oh , a feral ? "
Lante raised a brow, he could only wonder why , how and when, when it came to Curtis. All the males were strong , but a feral ?

" he's a civilized one , it's rare "
Leopard king said.

Curtis was even more anti social than Noah so azura was happy that he even agreed to come .

He didn't even bother smiling. But azura was glad that he didn't make any sarcastic comment either.

" so , I can see all my daughter's males are strong ones , I'm glad ! "
Leopard queen said as she glanced fondly at her child who couldn't help but smile the whole time.

" me too mom "
Azura chuckled .

" come on , let's eat ! "
Damien said and the feast began .

The dinner went smoothly without anyone throwing glares and daggers at each other, mentally cursing was allowed.

Right now they were all seated in the supposed living room and chatting amongst themselves .

Lante was surprised to know that Noah was a healer and told that he too was a healer. Damien and winston were talking about the city's foundation and stuff . Asher and leopard king were throwing daggers at each other and talked sometimes about azura's life and Asher's awakening.

Curtis and Victor were around their respective females and listening to the mom daughter conversation and occasionally spoke in between .

" so ! "
The leopard king cleared his throat as he got up to gain the attention of other.

" oh , so we're finally moving to that part! "
Leopard queen sighed as she looked at her male .

" go on "
Lante said and leopard king nodded .

" the reason why we assembled here tonight was not just to have dinner but also something else ."
He said and paused before he continued.

" it was to introduce some males to azura as per the customs . Though it is a bit late as this was supposed to be on her coming of age day but we couldn't because of some unfortunate circumstances. Then Asher showed up, at least one month was necessary to look for selected males and call them over and the males have finally arrived . "
Leopard king ended his words and Victor continued.

" and we got to know that azura has more males so all of them are here to evaluate whether or not the males selected by us are worthy to be with azura , but the final say will always belong to azura . Am I clear ? "
Victor said looking at azura's males who discussed something among themselves but nodded nonetheless.

" let us to to the sparring grounds then "
