Chapter 201
**Elizabeth's POV**
Dylan answered me seriously, "If it was before, I could use bubbles to isolate them from the water. But my power is depleted now, and I can't support so many people. There is another way; they can drink my blood, and then they can breathe in the water just like you."
Looking at Dylan's pale face, I was worried.
"You look anemic and weak. Are you sure you can still provide blood?"
Dylan nodded, "I'm glad you care about me. Don't worry. After the protective scale returns, my body will recover faster and my strength will gradually gather. And with your concern, my wounds will recover a little faster."
"Come on, that's enough." Elroy suddenly spoke as he squeezed in between Dylan and me.
"I can't take it anymore. Stop hogging Elizabeth all the time, she belongs to us! Not yours alone! If I weren't worried that you'd fall to your death if I pushed you, I'd have done it."
"Look at me. Elizabeth, it's my turn. I miss you so much, I want to talk to you. Look at me. Don't ignore me." Elroy knelt down and took my hand, looking at me with his puppy eyes.
I almost couldn't resist the urge to pet him on the head, but I was too embarrassed to do so in front of the other three people.
However, Elroy offered to put my hand on his head and rubbed it.
"I don't care about the green crystal necklace, I only care about you. You're not my doll, you're my lover, my mate. You are mine. You shouldn't ignore me, you should look at me, talk to me, touch me, hold me, kiss me..."
Isidore frowned and stopped Elroy from continuing, "Don't talk nonsense! Elizabeth can talk to whomever she wants. She doesn't belong to anyone, she can be with whoever she wants to be with..."
"You shut up. Isidore, stop pretending. You want her! Let's all stop pretending, okay? I know, and all of you know, that all nine of us love Elizabeth, and we all want her! We're all jealous as hell when she's exclusive to someone!"
Oh boy, here came the scene I was dreading. They were jealous of each other and vying for my attention.
What should I do?
There was an apparent struggle in Isidore's eyes, and finally, reason prevailed, "She's married..."
Isidore didn't seem to be reminding Elroy but himself.
"Fvck getting married! All I know is that Elizabeth is the MATE the moon goddess arranged for me! If I had met Elizabeth before Caleb, maybe she would have married me. And you, Isidore, don't act like you're moral. I speculated on the timing of Elizabeth's pregnancy, and there is a high probability that the child is yours!"
Gosh, Elroy actually spilled the secret I was trying to hide.
All of us were shocked. Even the door to the room was pushed open, and the 5 men outside stared at me in shock.
So they had been eavesdropping on the conversation in the room...
Isidore's eyes widened, and he asked me, as if he suddenly realized the event, "Elizabeth, is he our son?"
In fact, I still couldn't confirm whether the baby was Brandon's or Isidore's because it was born prematurely.
Anyway, the baby's father was between the two of them.
My eyes accidentally made contact with Brandon, who suddenly opened wide and looked at the baby in the crib.
"Elizabeth! This is our baby, isn't it?" Brandon asked loudly, and everyone looked at him, then turned to me.
Damn, the scene got even more chaotic.
"I..." I stumbled over my words, "I don't know..."
But instead of disappointing Isidore, my ambiguous answer brought a hopeful sparkle to his eyes.
"Look how much he looks like me."
Isidore seems to have identified him as the baby's father. He gazed at the baby with a loving look in his eyes.
"Oh my gosh, we have a baby...this is our baby..." Isidore stroked the crib, his fingers trembling.
"You're right, Elroy. We are all Elizabeth's mates, and we all have the right to pursue her." Isidore no longer restrained his desire for me. He looked at me with a possessive look in his eyes.
"I can no longer pretend that I don't want to possess you, Elizabeth. I'm not satisfied with just being friends with you. I want to be your lover. I missed you so much during the time you were missing. I missed you so much it was driving me crazy."
I was stunned. I really didn't know how to handle all of this.
I had an unforgettable and extraordinary experience with all nine of them. And, since my wolf awakened, I had a unique feeling for each of them.
The mate bond makes it impossible for me to ignore any of them.
But nine mates...can a single she-wolf really have nine mates? That's crazy! I can't be that greedy.
"I'm sorry, I don't know why the moon goddess arranged it this way...but I can't accept all of you..."
"You can!" Elroy suddenly stood up and said loudly.
"I once saw an ancient book on the top floor of the Royal Library. The book recorded something about you. You are the same as the female Lycan who died 10,000 years ago, you are a selected tester appointed by the moon goddess."
"You were born to feel the love and hate that this world gives you. Your feelings will help the moon goddess decide whether to destroy all the werewolves in this world."
"And we were born to love you, Elizabeth. You can't abandon us. You know what? The Moon Goddess has made us your mates. That is our fate. We were born to make you feel loved. That's what our nine were created for! We will never fall in love with anyone else! I can't accept that I have to suffer losing you and missing you for the rest of my life. You can't be so cruel."
Elroy's words left us all in shock and silence.
