Chapter 287 â Motherhood [1]
"I love you, Noah," Shadeva said, her voice filled with unmistakable love.
Love Noah knew too well. It was the love every one of his women held for him.
By this point, you would expect him to get used to itâor even to take it for granted. After all, isnât that how things go? The more youâre used to something, the less you pay attention to it, and so, you stop taking care of it.
Isnât that true?
It is.
But there are always exceptions. There are always things people can never get enough ofâlike how a reader will never get enough of good novels.
He didnât care if it was clichĂ©, or the same story again with the same setup or even the same power.
How could he care? Thatâs what they love anyway.
They always want the same thing... but different.
And thatâs exactly how Noah felt.
All his women loved him immenselyâbut each loved him differently. Each of them had her own way of showing love and affection, and thatâs what made it... addicting.
Thatâs what made it worth it to gather women around him.
So right now, with Shadeva looking at him as if he were the most precious thing in the universe, Noah mirrored her lookâand even went beyond it.
"And I love you too, my dear shadow," he said, enfolding her trembling body with deep care as he looked into her beautiful, shadowy eyes.
"I love you, and I will not let anything hurt you in the same way you were hurt by your sister. I will protect you, even if it means putting myself in dangerâand I know your sisters will feel the same as I do."
"But saying all of this is quite useless if I donât resolve the thousands of years you spent alone, broken, betrayed, and chained by your own siblings."
His words immediately startled Shadeva as her eyes began to glisten. "D-Do you know whoâs responsible for all this? And the reason behind it?" she asked, her voice thick with unspoken emotions.
Noah gently caressed her face, their naked bodies still wrapped around each other sensually.
"I do know whoâs responsible, but... do you want to hear it?"
It wasnât a simple question.
It was the kind of question that asked if she was ready to bear the burden of knowing. Because what if she wanted vengeanceâbut couldnât get it?
What if she wanted to break the shackles on her siblingsâbut couldnât?
Wouldnât that break her? Wouldnât that make her feel unworthy of being called a sister?
But Shadeva was not a woman with a weak will.
"Iâm ready," she said firmly, her gaze unwavering.
"Itâs all the race together. They chained your siblings with shackles they would never be able to break. And they didnât do it because you were dangerousânot truly. They did it because your potential was dangerous."
"So, they decided to leech from you first before anything else. They broke you by turning your siblings against you. Maybe they were even hoping for a full-blown war between siblings so they could reap the benefits."
He paused, looking at Shadevaâs trembling eyes.
"Now tell meâdo you understand?"
Shadeva stayed silent for a moment before nodding weakly.
"And oh, I forgot one other thing."
Noah smiled crookedly. "A progenitor was involved in all of this. The progenitor of elvesâLuelle WorldTree."
That last sentence made Shadeva tremble with pure dread.
And honestly? Understandable.
Just look at how unfair Noah was.
Granted, the other progenitors were not as special as him.
But they were special enough. And they had eons upon eons to train, to understand their abilities, and even go beyond them.
So yesâhaving one of them as an enemy was a dreadful thing to even think about.
And Shadeva was just World Dominator rank. Hell, even if she reached Law Creator rank, sheâd still be just a bug before a progenitor.
So, knowing all thisâhow could she fight back? How could she seek the revenge she deserved?
Ask Noah to take revenge for her?
It is a way. In fact, itâs the one most likely to succeed.
But would she really?
Of course, yes.
"Help me," Shadeva said softly, without any shame or hesitation.
Itâs just stupid not to ask for help when you need it because of pride or ego. Shadeva didnât care about any of that. And even less if the one she was asking was her love and her master.
Noah smiled sweetly hearing her.
He liked when his women asked him for help.
Not because of vanity. Not because of pride. Not for some ego boostâno, he didnât need that kind of thing anymore. He was Noah Vaelgrim, after all.
He liked it simply because he loved helping his wives grow stronger, loved helping them rise, evolve, and reach higher states.
Help.
Thatâs the word.
He wouldnât do the job for themâbut he would give them the tools to do it themselves.
"Gladly, my love," he answered before they slowly got upâstill naked.
By this point, Noahâs dick was already rock hard again with Shadevaâs naked body right in front of him. But he held it in.
Same with Shadevaâshe wouldnât mind being fucked so hard her ass would be stretched wide again and her pussy red and swollen.
But she, too, knew the priority at this moment.
Stillâ
"Why arenât we wearing clothes?" Shadeva asked.
"Because Iâm an exhibitionist and I like to be naked. Got a problem with that?" Noah replied without an ounce of shame, making Shadeva blink in surprise before giggling.
"I wouldnât mind joining you in that then. And truly, who would even complain about seeing your naked body? I mean, even menâ!"
"Iâll stop you right there, Shadeva. Donât go into that domain. I donât actually want to know," Noah interrupted sharply, making Shadeva burst into laughterâthe heavy tension from before, the fear of fighting a progenitor, all dissipating like mist.
Noah smiled too.
Thenâ
"Itâs time to welcome you into my race, Shadeva. Itâs time to fully become a Vaelgrim."
"You are shadowâbut Ester is already the Elysiari of Shadow. So, we need to find something else. Something unique to you, something that still lets you wield your power even better."
Noah paused, his mind racing at impossible speed as he tried to come up with what kind of Elysiari Shadeva would become.
He thought about the most defining trait of Shadeva.
And after deep reflection, only one thing came to mind...
"...Motherhood?"

A/N:
Sigh...
I feel like I am writing peak after peak these days.
I need some rest.
