Chapter 322: Chapter 322 He’s part of our family
"Come here," Vincent called out, his voice deep and inviting. Without hesitation, Lucas dashed toward him, With a swift motion, Vincent lifted him effortlessly with his tail, cradling him.
Lucas hugged Vincent tightly from the side, a gesture of acceptance that sent shockwaves through the onlookers.
Kyra’s heart swelled as she watched the two embrace, feeling a mixture of pride and relief.
"See?" Lucas said, grinning as he looked at the warriors. "He’s not just a feral snake. He’s part of our family."
"I missed you, I missed you!" Kyra exclaimed, completely ignoring the stunned crowd around them as she wrapped her arms tightly around Vincent. "And our little baby missed you too!" She planted kisses along his neck, her joy palpable.
Suddenly, Vincent went rigid, his eyes widening in shock as if he had turned to stone.
"Vince..." Lucas shook him, concern creeping into his voice, but Vincent remained unresponsive, lost in a whirlwind of emotions.
"Vin..." Kyra murmured softly, hugging his neck tighter, her affection unwavering. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖕𝖚𝖇.𝖈𝔬𝔪
"Owwww..." Without warning, Vincent unleashed a burst of strength, tossing Lucas toward Oceanus, who caught him effortlessly.

"Traitor!" Lucas exclaimed, his face a mix of shock and disbelief as he clung to Oceanus’s neck.
Vincent, still grappling with the implications of Kyra’s words, blinked slowly, trying to process the overwhelming feelings swirling within him. The reality of becoming a father hit him hard, and it took a moment for him to gather his thoughts.
"You’re going to have a baby?" Vincent finally stammered, his voice barely above a whisper, disbelief etched across his handsome features. The idea was almost too much to bear.
"Yes, our baby," Kyra said with a warm smile, her eyes soft as she looked up at Vincent.
"No, Kyra, I’m the daddy too! The baby is mine as well," Lucas chimed in, standing up and pouting. He ran over to them again, playfully slapping Vincent’s arm. "And you! What was that? You threw me! I thought you were the world’s sweetest snake, but you... you!"
Vincent’s lips curled into a smirk, his red eyes glinting dangerously. "You’re wrong, wolf. I’m the world’s most poisonous snake." His gaze drifted toward the eagles surrounding them, and they began to tremble under the weight of his intense stare.
"I know, I know," Lucas muttered quickly, brushing off Vincent’s venomous comment. "Let’s go." But Vincent wasn’t letting go of Kyra, and she didn’t seem to want to let go either, holding onto him tightly.
The warriors, realizing their mistake, quickly bowed their heads in apology. "We’re sorry. We didn’t know the snake was Kyra’s mate.." They quickly retreated, leaving the group in peace.
Vincent gave a nod toward Oceanus and Simon, his mind racing with thoughts. His suspicions had been confirmed—something big was happening, and they had all felt the shift.
"We’ll talk once we reach the place," Oceanus said, his voice steady but his eyes sweeping over everyone with understanding, knowing they had much to discuss.
With that, the group began to move forward.

Vincent looked numb as he held Kyra tightly, absorbing everything that had happened.
"You’re not angry that I’m accepting Damon and Oceanus?" Kyra asked softly, her fingers tracing circles on his chest. She had expected some anger or resistance from him. He was usually possessive and protective. The fact that he hadn’t reacted as she thought left her puzzled.
Vincent smiled faintly, though his red eyes gleamed with a touch of sadness. "I understand, Rainbow. No matter how jealous I get, it’s better than losing you. Our little princess needs to be cared for, too," he said, his voice full of warmth. Even though his heart ached, knowing he had to share Kyra, the joy of becoming a father outweighed his jealousy.
Before meeting Kyra, Vincent had never expected to be a father or a mate, let alone have a friendship with a wolf who had once ridden on his back. His Rainbow wasn’t like other females who chose their mates based on strength or handsomeness. She was different, and that made his connection with her even more special.
Though the thought of Damon and Oceanus being Kyra’s mates made his chest burn with jealousy, there was also a sense of relief. He knew he couldn’t always be with her, that danger lurked everywhere. Accepting this reality, he chose to let go of his jealousy, focusing instead on keeping her safe.
He believed, deep down, that no one could ever take his place in Kyra’s heart. No matter how many mates she accepted, Vincent was certain that his bond with his Rainbow would always be unmatched.
Kyra pouted, crossing her arms as she playfully argued, "And how can you say it’s a princess? It must be a little prince like you. I like the idea of a mini Vin."
Vincent chuckled, the sound deep and warm, as he leaned in and kissed her pout gently. "No, I like the idea of a mini Rainbow better," he murmured against her lips, his voice soft and teasing. His hand slid up to cup her cheek, brushing his thumb along her skin as they shared a quiet, intimate moment.
Suddenly, the moment was broken by the sound of footsteps, and Kyra’s gaze shifted to see Damon entering. He was holding some prey, his expression focused and serious as he stepped into the kitchen without acknowledging them.
Vincent’s grip on her waist tightened slightly, sensing the change in atmosphere. She glanced at Damon, noting his rigid posture and the way he seemed to be avoiding eye contact.
"Hey, Damon," she called out, her voice breaking the silence. "Everything okay?"
He paused for a moment, then turned slightly, his silver eyes flickering with a mix of emotions before he replied, "Just preparing some food. We need to eat."
The casualness of his tone didn’t quite match the tension in the room, and Kyra exchanged a look with Vincent, who frowned slightly.
Vincent looked at Lucas, who ran behind Damon into the kitchen and Oceanus stood nearby, holding his cheeks and watching everything unfold with a half-smile,
