Semua Bab Ari: Bab 51 - Bab 60

Dillon and I were extremely awkward right after the incident. Both of us felt embarrassed whenever we remembered the kiss we had due to my estrus. Luckily, the necklace worked like a miracle, so I never had the same experience as with Dawon and Dillon. I became more energetic, and my sense of smell returned to normal, making it easier for me to do my daily tasks. "Woah, I feel so alive!" I screamed as I woke up from a good sleep. Lowell asked, "Did you sleep well?" while wagging his tail on his back. He sat down beside me, then took my hand and kissed my palm. "Oh, good morning, Lowell," I said while smiling sweetly. "All praise to the queen goddess Hera—it's such a relief seeing you in good health," he said in a low voice. "I'll finish setting up the table quickly for your breakfast—I've prepared your favorite corn soup and yam." "Wow, thank you!" I replied, then asked, "By the way, where are the others?" upon realizing that Gurion and the others were not around. "Gurion woke

During dinner, we all ate awkwardly together because Lowell kept on clinging to me. He kept on hugging me on the back because he was the only one who was not eating since he just ate a moment ago. The others were irritated while eating because of it. Suddenly, a cold and scaly tail grasped my foot under the table, which made me choke in surprise. I knew who it was, but I couldn't react too much because I was choking a little, making me cough excessively. The others were panicking when they realized that I was choking, and Dillon hurriedly poured water into a cup to give it to me. Lowell rubbed my back with a worried look. Gurion was also panicking and trying to comfort me as he rubbed his face on my arm with a scared and teary eye. Why were they making such a huge deal out of a minor choke? It wasn't even the main issue. A small devil smirked silently from a distance while twitching his tail on my foot, but I couldn't talk since I was coughing. My brother suddenly realized that I w

There was only a month left before springtime. My brother and Dillon heard the small talks of the tribesmen while gathering some firewood from the nearest forest. They were talking about the food shortage and spoilage in their tribe. According to them, some of their supplies had already gone bad, and they were afraid that their females and cubs would suffer from hunger before the spring arrived.Like other beastmen, a Tiger beastman doesn't technically need to eat only meat. However, their food preferences were the problem. They only like to eat meat.A Tiger beastman has a bigger appetite than a Lion beastman. Both races have similarities in their taste palates, but our Forest Lion Tribe has long been used to eating vegetables and fruits as complementary foods during the harsh season.A beastman can suffer from stress if they don't eat their main food preference for a long period of time, causing them to become physically weak and prone to illnesses. A male Tiger beastman can tolerate

When we left the tribe, Dawon looked extremely sad. I felt guilty, but it was not my intention to hurt him. We continued our journey according to plan and headed out to the next destination. It took us hours to go down the steep slope from the Tiger Tribe's territory. I had to fly Gurion down and wait for the others on lower ground. I initially suggested flying each one of them down the steep slope, but they all disagreed, so I just took Gurion and a bag down the slope instead to lessen their burden. Lowell, being the fastest, was tasked with going down ahead empty-handed to follow me and Gurion so that we wouldn't be alone for long when we reached the lower ground. He arrived just half an hour later than us. "I want to help them carry the baggage; Lowell, please stay with Gurion," I pleaded to Lowell with a worried tone. "N-no, hah, Ari; p-please stay here... t-they can manage it," Lowell replied while gasping for air. The others took longer than expected since they had to carry

The shadow hands kept exploring my body like worms, crawling and wriggling on my skin, causing me to feel nauseated and disgusted. I wanted to puke.I prayed so hard for someone to help me or wake me up from this disgusting nightmare."Sephtis, stop it!" a familiar voice shouted suddenly out of nowhere.I was sure I heard her voice, but I couldn't see her."Ayla, help me, please," I muttered as I cried, pleading for help.The man asked in irritation, "What? Are you going to choose your sister over your own father?"I was baffled because I thought Ayla was my twin, if I truly was Arie. Even so, I couldn't deny their similarities. His black hair and gray eyes shimmer despite the darkness of the Abyss.I was so frightened, but I had no other choice. She was the only one who could save me. She is the only one I can rely on at times like this, despite not knowing why I trust her so much.Maybe because she really was my sister, and our souls might still be connected to one another. It was th
