After dinner was served in my room, the servants also gave me a box containing a necklace. They said it was from my mom."But do I still need this even if I'm already pregnant?" I asked curiously."Yes, Your Highness. It's not only a suppressant of heat and scent. It can help you use the ring without using your power. The necklace will also bring you back here if you suddenly have a sudden fluctuation of power," the servant explained."I see. It would be quite convenient. Send my gratitude to my mother. I couldn't go to her right now because I'm feeling under the weather, but I'll meet her tomorrow before we all leave," I instructed."Yes, Your Highness," she answered before she left my room.******************************The next morning, we had breakfast with my parents for the last time. We decided to go back after the meal. They were both emotional, but they didn't change their minds despite the heartbreaking goodbye."Are you sure about this?" my mother asked."Yes, Mom," I repli
I successfully opened the portal without receiving any penalty. I figured it would be like this because my power has the same attribute as the barrier, making me conclude it was created by my parents since the two of them can control lightning. "Honey! Why are you so reckless?" Dillon roared in nervousness. "Are you alright?" Macan dashed to check on my condition. "Yep! I knew it. The barrier won't retaliate against my power because I can also control lightning," I grinned. "God! Babe! You scared all of us! You should have explained to us first before doing something potentially dangerous," he scolded. "Sorry... It's because you won't allow me even if I explain it, since I wasn't sure of it either. It's better to show it straight in front of everyone. First of all, Mother said I could use it to open a portal everywhere in the mortal land where my people are located. Gurion is one of us, so it's easier to open a portal since he lives in the palace," I explained. "It's still risky,
A few months later, my stomach kept growing, and everyone was mortified to see a huge stomach. I was embarrassed because female beastmen don't grow their stomachs too much like mine, so I stayed in the room behind the throne and patiently waited until I could give birth to the twins. The twins were so active inside my stomach that I sometimes couldn't hold back my pee, so I had to wear padding on my undergarments. Also, the weight of my stomach was so heavy that it was too hard to move around, let alone walk. We could see my stomach move from time to time. It was surprising at first that Tora screamed in shock. It looked amusing to me since it meant they were healthy. One day, when the autumn was almost over, I suddenly felt a series of stomach pains. Macan explained that it was because it was almost time for me to give birth. The pain was bearable at first because it was similar to the pain I had when I had my period, but it suddenly started to worsen, and I was finding it hard to
I tried not to laugh when I saw Macan's annoyed look. On the other hand, Tora and Jala were giggling while giving the babies to Dillon and Dylan. They just finished feeding my babies. They then pushed the two stunned and clueless males near me. "Let Ari see her children. Come on! Stop dazing around," Tora nagged as she pushed Dillon. "Honey," Dillon mumbled while handing over one of my lovely babies. "Hmm? She's—wait, no—it's a boy? Aw!" I choked as I coughed in shock, then crouched a little due to the pain. "What, babe? First time seeing a baby boy?" Macan teased. "Well, technically, yes," I replied embarrassedly. "Oh, right. I forgot," Macan whispered, looking away lightly. "How will we know who's their father? They looked extremely alike," I asked. "The female is my daughter...," Dylan said. "Right, and the male is my son," Dillon added. I was stunned and mumbled, "How did you know?" "My mark disappeared when she came out crying loudly across the room. She was quite energ
My name is Kim Ahri Gaumond. I am a simple employee who usually spends most of her time working, doing charity work, or attending treatments. I never really had a chance to give myself a break since I am not an outgoing person.For the first time in my 30 years of life, I decided to finally give in to my dream of having an international vacation not related to work. I may not be outgoing, but I still wanted to experience a life of leisure in a faraway land.My destination was the City of Love, Paris. Romantic, isn't it? If one were to ask if I was going to travel with my boyfriend, I would say, "Hell no, because I am traveling alone, but not lonely."Yes, I know it was awkward for a single person like me to travel to the City of Love alone, but I didn't care. I just wanted to travel overseas, hoping to finally find my soulmate elsewhere despite my special condition.The reason I have been single since birth is that I have an extreme fear of men, causing me to work only in a company run
I was born in the Forest Lion Tribe, the only tribe of the Lion race in the whole Beastman World. A regular beastman had two forms, which were passive and aggressive. Their passive form was their human or human-like form, while their aggressive form was their beast form.Male beastmen were naturally hatched in their aggressive form and will be able to transform into their passive form once they reach the age of seven. In our tribe, at this age, he was required to attend school with all the other Cubs under the teaching of the assigned elders.The passive form of a male was only a human-like form because they still had beastly body parts. A Lion has lion ears and a tail but has a human shape.On the other hand, a regular female beastman was hatched with her natural passive form, which was a full-fledged human form. She has no ability to transform into her aggressive form, even if she cultivates her body. Only a few females were born every generation, so they were required to accommodate
Even though I still couldn't move my body freely, I finally realized that this body has a Passive-Aggressive Form. It means that, even though I am a female, my Passive Form has features similar to the Passive Form of males. It was an isolated case, and no other case was known throughout the history of the world of beastmen. Another thing that puzzled everyone was that I was the only known Winged Lion and was born by a Lion couple—because a Winged Lion belongs to a separate race. There were rumors after my egg hatched saying that my mother secretly mated and formed an informal relationship with an unknown Winged Lion male from an unknown tribe behind my father's back. Even so, despite the rumors, my father trusted my mother and believed in her because a mark they called an insignia shows up on the male's chest once he impregnates a female until the egg hatches. It indicates the condition of the little Hatchling inside the egg. Only males have the ability to transfer the energy needed
[Trigger Warning: This chapter contains sexual assault, post-traumatic flashbacks, and mental health disorders; please read with caution.] What is androphobia? Androphobia is a phobia or an intense fear of men. Similar to the other phobias, symptoms may include intense fear, anxiety, or panic when seeing or thinking about men. The anxiety worsens as a man gets physically closer to you. An active avoidance of men or situations where you might encounter men can also indicate that you have a fear of men. The reactions to your fears can manifest physically—such as sweating, a rapid heartbeat, tightness in your chest, or trouble breathing. Nausea, dizziness, or fainting when in close contact with men may also occur in some patients suffering from this type of phobia. In my previous life, the exact cause of this type of phobia was not yet well understood by the current studies around the globe. Some experts said that the possible causes include past negative experiences with men, but it c
