Claimed by a Pride of Lionesses

Yan Qian woke up to find herself transformed into a little lion roaming the African savanna.

Before long, she accidentally wandered into a pride of lionesses.

The pride consisted of three lionesses, Sibada, Ailina, and Malaika, along with the five cubs they were raising.

One cub belonged to Ailina, three belonged to Sibada, and one belonged to Malaika. They all had cubs of their own.

Yan Qian, however, was an extra cub, one without a lioness mother.

After wandering into the pride, hunger forced her to work up the nerve to approach Ailina.

Ailina had only one cub, and it was the weakest of them all. That meant Yan Qian had a better chance of being accepted by her.

But.

Yan Qian failed.

Just as Yan Qian gave up, she saw Malaika walking toward her, but she had no idea whether the lioness meant to chase her off or kill her.

Her hind legs went weak with fear, and she nearly collapsed on the spot. Then she felt a firm lick on top of her head.

She lost her balance and fell over, and Malaika immediately picked her up in her jaws.

Malaika gave Yan Qian her first proper drink of milk.

Next came Sibada.

At first, Sibada had always kept her distance from Yan Qian.

But one day, when Yan Qian got separated from the others while hiding in the grass, Sibada was the one who found her and brought her back.

Yan Qian was deeply grateful to her for it.

Only Ailina, who had been the first to reject Yan Qian, now regretted it bitterly.

Her daughter, Lisa, even said outright:

"Mom, scoot over."

A little promotion for my upcoming novel:

Every Day I Pursue the Queen of the North American Wolves

Blurb:

After her pack lost a war, Mulin, a subadult forest giant wolf born in the black spruce swamps of Yukon, fled the vast forests of northwestern Canada, the taiga. Following the great river valley, she traveled with migrating caribou to Alaska.

At that time, two great Alaskan wolf packs were at war, and Mulin watched for three days and two nights.

She saw with her own eyes as the male wolf king of one pack was killed, leaving behind only a beautiful and dangerous female wolf queen, Shuangya, and her four daughters and two sons.

Mulin licked her fangs. What was she waiting for?

Drive away the males, keep the females.

Shuangya, the strongest wolf in this river valley territory, would be hers!

-

The young female wolf Xuezhou headed south from the Arctic tundra in search of survival, arriving in the Alaskan river valley forest.

In a year of plentiful prey, the female wolf queen Shanlan led her pack north from the Rocky Mountains, reaching the edge of the Alaskan river valley forest.

Xuezhou remembered her mother telling her that packs were formed when lone male and female wolves came together to raise a family.

But why did one look at Shanlan make her feel like they belonged together?

[Two female leads, two couples. Main couple: Mulin and Shuangya. Side couple: Xuezhou and Shanlan.]

[Mulin: Canadian forest giant wolf. Shuangya: Alaskan female wolf queen. Xuezhou: young female wolf from the Arctic tundra. Shanlan: female wolf queen of the Rocky Mountains.]

Upcoming Novel 1: Sharing Sensations with a Top-Tier Star's Cat

Blurb:

After Lu Zhimian accompanied her younger sister to one of Xue Yanwei's in-person events, her life started getting stranger and stranger.

She would be sitting at her desk, minding her own business, when suddenly her mouth would be kissed again and again.

Her ears got touched over and over, too.

There's no way I can keep working like this!

She had to wash her face several times.

At last, she made it through the workday and went home. While standing in the elevator, someone suddenly pinched her waist.

It took her by surprise, and she let out a muffled groan.

The pretty widow from next door was also in the elevator, making Lu Zhimian look like she was some kind of pervert.

That night, while she was fast asleep, someone slapped her butt. It was like she was possessed.

Luckily, it didn't happen too often. Lu Zhimian assumed she was having muscle spasms and planned to visit the hospital sometime soon.

She booked an appointment with a specialist for the weekend, but then her younger sister dragged her along to another in-person event.

She hadn't wanted to go, but then she remembered:

Every time she was kissed, pinched, or slapped, she caught a whiff of a certain fragrance.

It was the same fragrance she'd smelled the first time she accompanied her sister to an in-person event.

Lu Zhimian decided to go and take another look.

"Aah! Yanwei! Your kitty is so cute!"

The fans got to see not only Xue Yanwei, but also the calico cat she was always showing off on Weibo.

Lu Zhimian couldn't see what all the fuss was about and was about to leave. The woman was certainly pretty, but Lu Zhimian wasn't a fan.

But just as Xue Yanwei kissed her cat right there in front of everyone...

That strange sensation returned to Lu Zhimian's lips.

Could it be... that she was sharing sensations with Xue Yanwei's cat?

Lu Zhimian spent money and pulled strings until she finally got to meet Xue Yanwei in person.

The manager told Xue Yanwei that Lu, the CEO of Xingwei Technology, wanted to see her and had specifically requested that she bring her cat.

"Bring my cat?"

Xue Yanwei didn't understand, but did as she was told.

"Miss Xue, could you kiss your cat a few times, please?"

Lu Zhimian needed to confirm it again.

Xue Yanwei was even more confused, but faced with a client's request, she did as asked and kissed her beloved kitty on the mouth.

"On the forehead."

As soon as Lu Zhimian finished speaking, her lips turned bright red on the spot.

Upcoming Novel 2: Can an Orange Cat Pass for a Tiger?

Blurb:

Ju Miao won a 300-million-yuan lottery, got so excited she jinxed herself, and died.

When she opened her eyes again, she was in a tiger's den, with several month-old tiger cubs lying beside her.

It seemed... she'd been reincarnated as a tigress?

But when she looked down, her paws were clearly wrong.

Why did they look so much like the paws of the orange cat she'd raised in her previous life?

Then she opened her mouth...

"Meow."

The sound came out loud and clear.

She looked up and came face-to-face with the tigress returning from an outing.

Ju Miao was dumbfounded.

Could an orange cat... really pass for a tiger?

-

"Your Majesty, while you were away at war, the First Princess took excellent care of the younger princes."

As the words fell, a Maine Coon cat-person stepped forward, took the three tiger cubs from her arms, and handed them to Lin Banlan.

The tigress before her suddenly shed her beast form, changed into splendid robes, and revealed an exceptionally beautiful human face.

She was dignified and magnificent.

Yet she still had the ears of a white tiger with vertical pupils atop her head, and a black-striped tiger tail hung beside her leg like a long whip, ready to use as a weapon.

"Who?"

Ju Miao grabbed the Maine Coon cat-person's hand, her voice trembling. "Who gave birth to the younger princes?"

"T-The First Princess, of course. You bore them for Her Majesty."

"Please let go. This is inappropriate."

The Maine Coon cat-person explained. If Ju Miao hadn't been holding their hand, they would almost have fallen to their knees on the spot.

"I..."

Ju Miao's mind went blank.

"An orange cat gave birth to tigers?"

She was completely dumbfounded.

Good heavens, what kind of ridiculous turn of events was this?
