In other words, Vera had only recently formed a contract with these mates of hers.


    "Yes," Vera said in reply to her previous question. "I wasn''t in a hurry to form a contract with them before, as I was pursuing Scott at the time. Considering he was the most capable among them, I wanted him to be my primary mate.


    "However, after seeing you calm down several S-grade and above male therians the other day, I came to an epiphany and knew that I should just give up on him. That''s why I couldn''t keep the rest waiting either.


    "After all, they also love me very much, and I can''t be causing the people who love me to feel aggrieved for the sake of someone who doesn''t."


    She lowered her eyes for a moment, then smiled sweetly at Analise with tears gathering at the corners of her eyes. "You have no idea how happy they were on the day I told them that I was preparing to form a contract with them."


    She smiled and wiped the tears from her eyes, only to burst into tears ofughter immediately afterward. "However, itter devolved intoplete chaos as they fought for the right to be my primary mate."


    Analise handed her a tissue. "I''m sorry."


    "I''m the one who should be sorry," said Vera, ncing from Analise to Scott before pulling the former aside slightly and adding quietly, "Derek didn''t lose control out of nowhere."


    She bit her lip and took a cautious peek at Scott.


    Surprise shed in Analise''s eyes, and she immediately looked at Vera. "What?" "My younger brother-Hector-heard that Scott had chosen to be the guardian of a pure human female, Ana," exined Vera. "He was angry on my behalf. At that time, you just so happened to make a post saying that you were going to calm down a male therian, so..."


    She did not finish her sentence, knowing that Analise was smart and could piece things together from there.


    "Hector is rather mischievous, but fortunately, both Derek and the other two male therians were sessfully calmed down that day. I know it''s a littlete for me to be saying this... but can''t keep hiding it from you forever. Recently, Scott has been asking Travis Greenhill-the director of the reception center-to investigate this matter."


    She looked at Analise before continuing, Judging from Scott''s defensive behavior just now, they''ve probably almost found out about Hector''s involvement in the matter. Can you please ask Scott to give him a lighter punishment?


    "When I first found out about it a few days ago, I was angry and med myself for


    it, but I didn''t dare to say anything. However, Hector was seriously injured


    yesterday for an unknown reason...


    "I know it''s impossible for you to forgive him since he did bear ill


    intentions toward you. It''s also


    impossible for me to ask you nomet


    arrest him, as what he did was no trivial matter, but he probably won''t be able to withstand the punishment in Hopkins Gxy Lodge''s underground prison in his current condition...


    "So, when Scott arrests himter on, can you please ask him to give Hector a lighter punishment?"


    The two of them fell silent after Vera finished speaking, and only the excited chatter and cheering of the therians forming contracts around them could be heard.


    Analise''s gaze darted around before she asked hesitantly, "Do you know how Hector got hurt?"


    Getting Scott to lighten his punishment was simple, but Vera''s younger brother, Hector, was probably the "Mr. Khielson" person that Derek and the others had mentioned down in the underground prison.


    Since he was suspected of having ties to the Reimers, considering the situation with Sawyer and the Ironhorn Alliance, the fact that he was injured was no small matter.


    There were several robot females that had not yet been found. rice was currently in aa, and Gideon was still conducting research on her.


    They had still been unable to locate those robot females, and Analise was not sure whether any robot females had already been brought back to the Stormw Alliance.


    Thanks to developments from the previous incident, they might even have found a way to provide the female robots protection now.


    Of course, all of this was just conjecture on her part.
