Both of them were standing there looking at her with expressions she had never seen on either of them before.
Wang, who she had seen face down a phantom beast without blinking, looked genuinely stunned.
Qin Mo looked like someone had told him the sky was a different color than he had always believed it to be.
"Every month?" Wang said again.
"Every month," Lin Wan confirmed.
They stared at her.
Lin Wan looked between them.
"Is there any problem ?" she asked slowly.
It was Qin Mo who answered, his voice careful as he explained.
"Most females," he said, "experience their heat once. Twice at most. Females who experience it more than that are considered rare. Sought after." He paused. "They are the only ones known to bear more than one set of cubs in a year."
Lin Wan stared at him.
Then she looked at Wang.
Wang was looking back at her with an expression that was equal parts wonder and something that looked very much like smug satisfaction.
