-- POV Freya --

It was early morning and daylight was coming in softly through the window of the small room where we were staying. I had woken up early as usual and as I lifted my arms slightly to stretch, my left elbow was tickled by what seemed to be hair. As I turned my head thinking I saw Shiro, a completely unfamiliar figure lay there beside me.

"WHAT THE...??"

My voice had come out without even paying attention to the ones still sleeping. The woman next to me woke up and sat up alerted by my surprised cry.

"Freya ? What's happening to you ?"

The woman in front of me was Gaya.

"Gaya you...you are finally in your humanoid form."

Hearing my words, the dragoness who wasn't really one anymore, stood up covering herself with the sheet and started moving her body in all directions.

"This is it ! Finally !"

Gaya had a more mature face than mine due to being the equivalent of 35 years old in human age which made her how to say...very attractive. She had perfectly proportioned curves and a generous chest unlike mine which was neither too big nor too small. The dragoness was quite tall but still shorter than me, I was 5'7" but she must have been 5'6". Her crimson hair was long and came to her waist and her amber eyes hadn't changed but gave her a strangely more dominant look than in her dragon form. They were warm and seemed to glow with a mischievous gleam. Gaya also had two small horns that she could make disappear at will that were like mine on the same spot on her forehead, giving her a wilder look that went perfectly with her mature face.

If I was a cold beauty like the moon, Gaya was a warm beauty like the setting sun. She was beautiful and I couldn't look away from her very attractive appearance.

"So how do i look ?"

She asked as she spun around with a bright smile and the white sheet that made her a pretty dress. Her hair was floating while outside you could hear the sound of birds singing announcing the morning. The scene was divine and mesmerizing. Not being shy in front of others I stood up and grabbed her by the waist to hold her close to me, sliding my fingers under her chin to lift her head. As I licked my lips, her eyes were plunged into mine which shone with a wild glow as I answered her question.

"To be honest you are the prettiest woman I have ever seen.."

I was sincere as I saw no point in lying to her. As I said these words, her face turned completely red as she turned away with embarrassment. Seeing this mature woman act like a shy little girl created a contrast that made me laugh...I thought she was very cute like that too. I almost wanted to tease her all day long just to see that expression.

"Thank you..Freya."

As she said those words, she smiled warmly at me which suddenly made my heart beat even faster. It was the same feeling as last night when I was talking to Kira but more intense. I couldn't focus on anything else but those full lips that were to this beautiful woman in my arms, unable to escape. As everything around us disappeared and we unconsciously got closer, a small voice woke us up from our trance.

"Hello mom, hello Gaya."

It was Shiro, she was rubbing her eyes like every morning and looking at me with a smile that would make anyone crack up. Releasing herself from my embrace, Gaya walked away with a face as red as her hair.

*How cute...*

I then walked over to Shiro to stroke her head, to explain her the changes of Gaya and to ask her if she had slept well despite everything that had happened last night.

"Oh it's great ! I didn't think she could have this form ! And yes i slept well even though I don't remember when I fell asleep."

As she said these words, she hugged me in her small fragile arms to give me her morning hug while Gaya looked at us smiling. While I was enjoying this moment of pure happiness, Kira took the opportunity to finally show up.

[Tell me onee-san, you seemed to be very enterprising a little while ago kufufufu~]

*Ara ara ~ I don't know if you noticed but I'm more of a dominant type...let's just say I couldn't help myself when I saw her smile.*

[Yes, but Gaya almost had a heart attack, you know? What exactly were you planning to do ? hehe~]

*I...I don't know. I acted on impulse, I can't even tell you what I was thinking.*

It was like I was in a state that I had never experienced before. Was it love or physical attraction I couldn't tell yet because I was just following my instincts.

One thing was for sure, our relationship had started to change.

-- POV Gaya --

Freya was taking care of Shiro and I couldn't even think. The images of the last 5 minutes were replaying in my head non-stop, preventing me from concentrating on anything.

*What just happened ?*

At that moment, I was so close to Freya, I could still feel her cold but warm embrace on my shivering body. Contract or not, I knew I had fallen in love with her long ago...like love at first sight..and after that scene I couldn't help but think that she felt the same way.

*How to know ? How can i be sure ?*

It was always impossible to read her face and despite her smile which was only meant for Shiro and me I never knew what she was thinking. Freya had never known love and had acted on instinct and almost thrown herself at me. At the time it happened I felt like a prey to her predator, me..Gaya the great dragoness known as the mother of dragons. It was the first time I felt so submissive in front of someone, usually people trembled in front of me but in front of the presence of this she-wolf, her aura and her beauty...I could do nothing.

I would never be like this with anyone else and this part of me would remain only between her, Kira, Shiro and me. Freya had her 25 year old face which was 10 years younger than mine but she didn't mind, I was relieved and happy.

*I hope she will call me her wife one day...*

I had never felt so close to anyone, but for her was it the effect of the contract or something else? I was certainly linked to Freya but as she had said, feelings cannot be controlled. So I had to wait for her to tell me if anything had changed for her in her heart.

"Gaya we need to go buy you some clothes before we leave and stock up on food for the trip. I would also like if possible to find a cart so that Shiro can travel more comfortably."

Freya telling me the plans for this morning brought me out of my thoughts. Her voice showed no hint of shyness but she was right, I was still dressed in the sheet and indeed had no clothes on.

"Y..Yes, do you want me to come with you? I can easily pass off the sheet as a dress and if you give me your cloak it should be fine."

Freya thought about the proposal before agreeing saying we would go faster this way.

"Oh and we need to stop by the guild to get information about the humans stationed in the Dark Forest, I need their location and numbers if possible."

"Got it !"

I was barefoot but it did absolutely nothing for me and as I manipulated the fabric into a small dress, Freya and Shiro were also getting ready.

In 10 minutes we were ready to go, Shiro was dressed in her white dress with her hooded cape that hid her ears and tail. Freya still had her black pants, white shirt and black jacket that gave her a very seductive masculine look.

*God..what a woman..!*

I was wearing my white makeshift dress with Freya's cape without wearing the hood because I could make my horns disappear. The she-wolf didn't have her cape and I knew that by not hiding her face we would be noticed very easily. It had to be said that she was much more beautiful than me, not to mention her presence was impossible not to notice even with a hood.

So we all went downstairs and for the first time I was going to see the city by day and walk alongside this little girl and her mother who was my fiancée.

-- POV Jane --

The Adventurers Guild was almost empty as everyone had been requisitioned to put out the fires that had suddenly broken out last night. I was at the front desk for the first time because I usually take care of the paperwork in another room but today was special.

*There is nothing to do..*

While I was bored a woman entered the room with a child in her arms followed by another woman in a dress and... barefoot ?

*We're not in a store here, for God's sake, go get shoes somewhere else !*

I was already feeling annoyed about this group even before they spoke to me but I couldn't ignore the aura that was emanating from these two and that made me shiver as they walked towards me. But only one made it to my level as the one with the child had suddenly branched off towards the mission wall.

"Hello, we would like to get some information about a mission."

The one in front of me had crimson hair and amber eyes that stared at me without flinching, she was very beautiful and gave off a motherly but imposing aura.

"What mission are you talking about and are you even an adventurer ?"

"I.."

"I don't see a nameplate, do you have one ? If not, leave !"

*She is barefoot, she is definitely not an adventurer !*

Despite the fact that she was impressive I didn't want to waste my time with someone who didn't even have anything to introduce me to. As I asked her all these questions, she looked at me raising an eyebrow before speaking.

"I'm not an adventurer, I'm just a companion, but I didn't know that humans here were so rude !"

*Eh ? Humans ?*

As I was trying to understand what she meant by that, the other young woman who was younger approached us, attracted by the tense atmosphere.

*What does she want from me too ?*

I had no desire to discuss with these two women who didn't even know how to formulate a request correctly.

"Is there a problem here ?"

Her voice made me jump on my chair as I turned my head to check that it was the black-haired one who had spoken. She was even more gorgeous, standing in front of me and towering over me, obviously taller than the other one. Her voice froze my spine because it contained no emotion. I couldn't answer because I felt like I was dealing with someone I shouldn't offend...under any circumstances.

*Shit...*

"Gaya what's going on ?"

"This young lady refuses to listen to me and even asked me to leave."

The woman named Gaya was saying these words while looking at me out of the corner of her eye with a hostile look and a hint of disdain in her voice. She was scary, her eyes seemed made of embers, I could only look away as the black haired one continued.

"I am an adventurer and I need information about a particular mission, is that a problem ? Should I teach you how to treat your customers well ?"

Her eyes were icy and if the woman named Gaya was scary, this one was terrifying.

*Who the hell are they ?*

As I stammered something inaudible, an adventurer burst violently inside the guild saving me from the situation.

"THE...THE LORD HAS BEEN MURDERED AND NO SLAVES ARE LEFT IN THE CITY !!!"
