Beauty Among The Beasts Novels & Stories

Just relentless torment. Enduring heat was one thing, but this was something else. My bones burned as if they were being rubbed down with sandpaper. Hot tears rolled down my face, impairing my vision. Sharp teeth sliced through my gums, filling my mouth with the metallic taste of blood. My nose and jaw stretched forth from my skull, undergoing a metamorphosis that defied all medical science. Coarse brown hair erupted through each follicle, and my limbs bent into what should have been impossible angles. They moved beneath my skin like motorized parts of a shape-shifting robot. Then, as they met their resistance, they snapped and reconnected elsewhere. My back arched as I squirmed in agony. I

Kiema said, patting Kord's arm braced over her front. "The Beast. It comes," Alok said, his pale blue eyebrows dipped low over his tricolored eyes. "Right, yes. You've mentioned. What is the beast and why should I care?" Kiema asked. The group of Wardens jerked back as if Kiema had punched them in the bellies. "The Beast is the natural apex predator of all magical kind. It is the antithesis to any Prime or Prime descendant."

Unlike its previous authoritative calls, this one was filled with indescribable joy and summoning, like thunder in spring, instantly spreading throughout the secret realm. The rare and exotic beasts scattered throughout the realm heard the call and immediately rose, gathering toward Amelia. The Jade-Horned Deer walked with graceful steps, the Lightning Finch formed neat lines in the air, and even the massive creatures dozing on the grass stood up slowly and made their way over. In moments, over a hundred exotic beasts of all shapes and sizes had assembled before Amelia, standing in orderly rows, their eyes fixed intently on her.

THE BEASTS "When Eledumare created him, he had a wife and her wife gave him a son called Iran, Iran was loved by all gods, and had been showing him the love, but when he got married and his wife gave birth to a child, the whole story began to change, the child was different and none of all creations had any resemblance, the child was the first beast in heaven, it was dark and viciously looking, no gods or codes loved him, they hated him for he was ugly, even i also did not love my grand child, his mother wanted him dead and had tried all she knew to kill her own child but all failed, time after time, the beast kept growing even though he was never fed, he had no friend, no one to play with h

I did everything to be a good friend, only to be treated as my so-called best friend’s scapegoat. When her husband found cigarette ash in their house, she claimed I was the one smoking. When she snuck off for a private rendezvous with her lover, she told him she was celebrating my birthday. And when she got pregnant, she pinned the blame on me again, declaring I was consumed with jealousy—that I had spiked her drink and hired someone to violate her. Enraged, her husband marched to my doorstep wielding a blade and hacked me to death. When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the exact day she had asked me to cover for her affair.

Then the four women exchanged glances and an eerie smile spread across their finely powdered faces. "All men are beasts that chase after beauty. If Brother Tian sees the horrid scars marring her face and body, let alone share a bed, he'd feel too disgusted to stay in the same room!"

She lingered on it, lips parting slightly as if unwilling to let the taste go, her brows drawing together in faint confusion. Then she looked up at me. And for a moment, I forgot how to breathe. No wonder Fenric wouldn’t shut up about her. Scions like us—half human, half divine—were long since immune to mortal beauty. It came with the blood. The Radiants had seen to that.

Her mouth twitched, like she wanted to speak—ask something.

When I opened my eyes, I was standing on the Fate Platform again. Moonlight covered the ancient altar of beast bones, and the endless forest stretched beneath us. Beside me, Selene’s breathing changed. She remembered too. The Beast God’s wolf-shaped shadow rose above the platform. “In the Beast Realm, you may choose one of two paths. A Warrior Female will gain strength, claws, speed, and the power to hunt. A Blessed Female will gain rare fertility and a scent that attracts powerful males.”

It was perfect. Baron had this in his mansion? I walked through the garden running my hands through the flowers, feeling the wind on my face and the sun shine brightly on me. I felt alive and free. I sat down and spotted something hopping around. I looked closer and saw that it was a bunny. I gestured for it to come closer and it did. I carried it up and placed it on my lap, gently stroking its soft white fur. It looked like a mythical creature with its big beady eyes and small nose.

“We are bonded by a sacred Law. A structure must be maintained to keep the balance of the mate bond in check.” “Oh please,” Finn scoffed. “You’re only mad you didn’t get here first.” A low growl rumbled from Ares, and muscles coiled like he was seconds from tearing Finn apart. “Oh look,” Gunner smirked, “the beast awakens. Again.” “You want to die tonight?” Ares turned fully toward him, murderous. “Because I will make you suffer for this.” “No one is killing anyone!” Vivia barked out, stepping in front of me with hands on her hips like she owned the entire moon-gifted world.
