Hello everyone!
Author here!
I just want to thank you all for reading my novel!
Before I proceed with the next chapter, here are 10 questions I'm sure you're curious about that I will answer.
Question no. 1 - Pride Vs Pack
Why did I choose pack despite Lion being the leader? Why it wasn't pride instead?
Here's the difference between a pride and a pack:
Pride
1. Mostly females that are related to each other.
2. Females lead hunting/decision making. Males defend the territory.
3. They ambush, rely on stealth, surrounding prey and short bursts of power. They often attack from front or side.
4. Males join, take over and mate with the female members of the pride. They leave when they mature while the females stay for life in the pride.
5. Size ranges from 6-40 individuals.
6. Less organized than packs. Usually hunts alone or in small groups.
7. Males eat first despite females doing the hunting.
Pack
1. Family members regardless of male or female.
2. The alpha leads the group.
3. They chase predators, use endurance to run down prey and attack from behind.
4. Members are mostly siblings or the breeding pair.
5. Often small but can be large. Not really specific.
6. Highly coordinated, collaborative and communicative in all activities.
7. Equal but the alpha has dominance.
Here's the advantages of a pack:
1. Close knit relationships
2. Cooperative hunting
3. Cooperative in taking care of each other, especially the young
4. Equal food sharing
5. Unconditional support of each other
6. Reduced self interest
7. Loyalty is enduring
8. Deep emotional connections
9. Shared knowledge and culture
10. Genuine acceptance
If you want to survive in the strange world, being with a pack is a much better choice.
Also a better choice if you want harem (reverse harem in this case) to work out without conflicts.

Question no. 8 - What attracted them to Iris at first
1. Lion
He was lonely (without being aware of it) and worked too much.
When he met Iris, he felt warmth, fascination, enjoyment and being cared for.
Having deep conversations with Iris made him fall for her more.
2. Sly
He was a bastard child that nobody wanted or cared for
When he met Iris, he felt being useful, being wanted, being cared for and being listened when he is talking.
Though he imprinted first on Iris, he became genuinely in love with her as time goes by.
3. Alpha
He used to be at the top in his former territory before it was destroyed. He had to start at the very bottom until he rose to his current position.
Though he claimed that he is in love with Iris for a long time already, it is not yet revealed in the novel exactly when. But he mentioned that he first saw Iris when she was roaming around the territory with Lion.
His reason is not yet revealed entirely but as someone who was used to people demand something from him, Iris is not like that and instead cared for him without any ulterior motive.
4. Orm
Like Sly, he is also a bastard child of his father and is unwanted, mistreated and neglected at his former home.
Likes Iris during their first meeting but their relationship grows slowly until it deepened when Orm eventually tried to hurt and pushed away Iris while suffering from his trauma and to his joy, Iris still accepted him despite his faults.
5. Ghost
Unlike the others, he likes Iris as a friend at first but slowly came to be fond of her until he fell for her deeply.
He just enjoys Iris' company.
Was content at first to stand at the sidelines until Lion performed a blood bond with them.
As of the latest chapter, he's not yet mates with Iris though the rest of the pack, especially Lion, considers him as one of Iris' mates.
Because I'm bored and if anyone is interested in a bit of not so important information, here's my last two questions on this extra chapter:
Question no. 9 - Favorite kissing positions of the pack (Please proceed to the next chapter if you don't want to know)
1. Lion
-When he is lying on top of Iris (Again, this is just kissing positions)
-Iris straddling on him when he's sitting.
2. Sly
-When he is carrying Iris while she is facing towards him
-Iris lying on top of him. (Ahem. Kissing position)
3. Alpha
-While spooning (Kissing position!)
-Lying down on their sides while facing each other
4. Orm
-When he is on top of Iris
-Whenever Iris is on his lap
5. Ghost
-Any kissing position is fine
That's just KISSING positions.
Question no. 10 - Rating from the most horniest pack member to the least pack member (But they are still hornier than normal, for your information!)
Again, you can proceed to the next chapter if you are not interested.
Most horniest pack member to the least horniest pack member:
1. Alpha
2. Sly
3. Orm
4. Lion (Shocking! Despite being extremely horny at times)
5. Ghost
Why?
Just read back the previous chapters and see who's fast on having intimate moves with Iris. (Intimate touching, kissing, more than kissing and so forth)
Anyway, that's it for now. Thank you so much for reading this stupid chapter!
Please give me some love in the comment section. It's kind of lonely *sob*
This novel will continue to be free forever more.
Why?
It's still my raw version! I haven't edited yet and I don't like to use ai.
Sorry. I'm rambling now, am I?
Anyway, stay tuned to the next chapters!
Much love and appreciation from me!
Thank you.
