The World of Beasts: She's Got Their Hearts novel Chapter 12

The reason Scott became Analise's guardian was twofold. On one hand, she was a pure human who possessed the ability to heal S-grade males with her mind essence. On the other, there was something about her that felt different from other females—though he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

From the moment he first laid eyes on her, he instinctively wanted to be her guardian. When Finlay and Kyle had first mentioned Analise, he hadn't had much of a reaction. But the moment he saw her at the hospital, the thought immediately took root in his mind—he had to become her guardian.

After all, being a female's guardian significantly increased the chances of becoming her mate. With females being scarce and males abundant, it was common for a female to have multiple male partners.

"Your ears… Are they tiger ears?"

Analise's gaze fell on Scott's tail. It looked sturdier than a regular cat's tail, and its coloration closely resembled that of a tiger. As for his ears, his hair was slightly longer than most males, so she could only see their faint outline.

"Yes. I'm a tiger therian." Scott nodded, sensing an opportunity. His smile deepened.

"Then, I can't touch them." Analise shook her head.

"Why not?" Scott froze, his smile stiffening as a wave of disappointment washed over him.

"Because they say you should never touch a tiger's tail," Analise replied matter-of-factly before quickly entering the villa.

What she didn't notice, however, was that Finlay was nowhere in sight. Scott, slightly thrown off, followed her inside, though he kept a warm smile on his face.

Analise searched around until she finally spotted Finlay emerging from the butler's room on the first floor—wrapped in nothing but a bath towel.

She was completely stunned. Scott was also momentarily dumbfounded. He suddenly felt as if he had already lost to Finlay by a long shot.

This was probably all thanks to that friend Finlay had mentioned earlier—the one who gave him advice. Should he find someone to ask for tips on how to win a female's favor, too?
