I remembered my pet snake that I used to take care of for a short time in my previous life. The brother of a friend of mine was a veterinarian, and he gave me a baby red-bellied black snake as a pet when he learned that I loved studying snakes despite being a business major.I was so fascinated with its jet-black scales and red belly. The unique light yellow to reddish orange highlight from its mouth to its eyes had me totally captivated. It was so gorgeous that I couldn't turn down the giver.When my mother learned that I was raising a snake in my own apartment, she scolded me and told me to return it to the giver. I had no other choice, so I gave it back as my mother instructed. I felt sad because of it."I clearly pulled in a young female earlier—what are you?" A male voice asked with a confused tone. "You also have the scent of a female; however, you have a lion's tail, ears, and wings."I suddenly felt a sudden urge of anxiety when I heard the male voice."What... will you do if I

The Snake Beastman's tail caught my foot, gripping it tightly while trying to pull me towards him, but I had already left the ground, pulling him up in midair instead as I flew towards the opening in the ceiling of the cave. He tried to crawl his way up to me, but the force of the wind created by my wings and the force of gravity made it hard for him to do so. He screamed in agitation as soon as we came out of the cave. He soon managed to crawl up to my foot, making me flinch, so I flew as high as I could, hoping he would soon let go before the height made it more dangerous for him to fall. I tried to kick his face to shake him off, but he didn't budge. A spear suddenly dashed near his arm. Though it missed, it inflicted a huge wound, causing him to suddenly let go. His upper body dropped, but his tail was still clinging to me. I glanced into the distance, where the spear came from, and saw Lowell getting ready to make another shot. I signaled him to stop, then I spun around, tossin

When Blake started to regain his strength, we started to teach him and Gurion proper manners. His injuries were yet to heal, but he could already do simple tasks. He surprisingly behaved, though he couldn't easily grasp the polite way of speaking to others yet. He may be rude sometimes, but now he knows how to apologize when he makes a mistake. I taught the two of them proper ways of collecting fruits, vegetables, and necessary herbs that we needed during the journey. I felt as if I had become the mother of two curious kids. As I had expected, Blake was just ferocious because he never received any education or teaching since he grew up on his own. After some time, he became closer to my brother and the other males, though there were many times that he picked fights with Gurion like a small child. The days passed by quickly, and it was already summer. It is my little Gurion's birthday. I wanted to celebrate Gurion's birthday, and I wished for him to have a wonderful memory with me a

Since the blood moon, I always have nightmares on every full moon. Luckily, Lowell had always kept an eye on me every time he sensed the full moon, so they did their best to wake me up every time I had nightmares and helped me to calm down. After a very long journey, we arrived at the Tiger Tribe. Winter has been just around the corner, so their tribe was all busy hunting and storing food for each family while their alpha oversaw those families who were lacking in manpower to hunt their food for winter. The Tiger Tribe was known for their strength. They usually don't get along with each other too much since Tigers are lone hunters by nature, but that doesn't mean they aren't sociable—they just like being alone. They rely on their own strength rather than their numbers, unlike Lions in their pride and wolves in their pack. Even so, a tribe wouldn't survive without order, so they still have an alpha to regulate the tribe and mediate once an argument or disagreement among the members a

"Brother, please calm down—it's not intentional," I said as I explained, "He was telling me about a collar to suppress my scent, and he said we need to obtain it as soon as possible because my scent was already causing chaos to the tribe." "I sincerely apologize for what happened... but we need to solve this issue before it gets terribly out of hand," Dawon added worriedly. "Her estrous will soon manifest, and even Lowell and your other male companions will go crazy over her scent, except you." My brother and Lowell soon calmed down, so they planned how to obtain the said collar with Dawon's help. The next day, the group was sent out. Lowell and Blake were among them. I also started having my first menstruation, so I bled for a few days, and I had to keep staying in the room while the others either stayed in the next room or right outside my door. After my bleeding, I started feeling weird and overly sensitive. Dillon also started to act awkwardly. He blushed whenever he was near m
