Strange Beasts Book Novels & Stories

I picked at a golden slice of fish, savoring the rich, tangy taste before looking over at the book still sitting beside Kira’s seat. "What are you reading?" "Something on mystical creatures forged with witchcraft," she said between bites. "I’m hoping it might help us identify the giant serpent, but so far, there’s no mention of it." I chewed slowly, my gaze falling to the intricate cover of the book. "Nothing about a snake that kills everything in its path?" "Not yet. Just banshees, shadow beasts, some hybrid ghouls, and this weird chapter about moon-cursed wolves." I raised an eyebrow. "Sounds delightful."

Helena reassures her daughter, her voice shaking as she tries to convince her own terrified wolf. Bianca holds zero fear toward the Afolayan Dominion, but her inner beast completely dreads Cedric Whitmore's cold fury. Her system feels completely suffocated under the patriarch’s absolute dictatorial control. The exact second her armored transport tears into the villa driveway, Bianca scrambles inside the front doors, her boots flying across the marble as Cedric's heavy footsteps echo right behind her frame. Spotting his younger son entering the hidden estate, Cedric approaches the heavy iron entrance doors with a barrage of lethal curses.

The burning desire in my body made my consciousness waver. Charlie said at that moment, "It's normal to have some discomfort. You'll feel much better once I'm done with you." Caught off guard, I tensed up inexplicably as he pressed his body on mine. Instinctively, I gripped the hem of my dress. My chest felt swollen and throbbing. His hands ravished my bosom, and he fondled me roughly with his palms. "Loosen up so that I can treat you properly." Initially, I felt embarrassed and wanted to push him away. However, the pain subsided somewhat the second his hands touched my skin. I said, "Then, be more gentle. My chest is hurting me."

Plus, my doctor said my hormones were out of balance, and I needed a way to relieve the stress. However, I already had a wolfhound at home. Salem Tarr would definitely have taken issue with it. Sensing my hesitation, the vendor kicked the beastkin. "Get up and show the lady your muscles." The beastkin rose to his feet slowly. Chains bound his body, and he could only remove his black T-shirt with one hand, instantly revealing his lean, pale muscles. However, his skin was covered in bruises and scars.

It's beautiful. Students move across the grounds in clusters, some already in uniform, others dragging bags behind them. And everywhere— Beasts. Not just one kind. Dozens. I have only read about the beasts and bonds. Old books with outdated photos. Skyless Keep, the prison I once called home, had a small library with about 12 beat up history books. They only allowed books regarding Elarion, Nythera, and Solvaris. I read them until the words were permanently etched into my brain. Suddenly, I'm ripped from my thoughts. I'm surrounded my beasts and magic and students everywhere. While I thought I would be afraid to see the beasts so close, I'm actually in awe.

Alas gasped and tried to push her away, but she pulled him right back. She kissed him deeply, tenderly, and with such longing — every touch spoke of love and a desperate need to be close. His knees felt weak, and he could not understand what was happening to him. A string of curses raced through his mind. He had been around many drunk women before, and some had even kissed him, yet never once had his body reacted this way. Why was it so different with this stranger he had never met before?

What the hell is happening here? “What the fuck?” I say. Is this some kind of prank that Victor’s decided to pull? He should know that we are not in high school anymore, and this kind of behaviour is nothing but stupid. I don’t understand what this means, but I know it’s nothing good. I don’t know what to do. Should I touch the book? Should I even go near it? What if something bad happens to me if I do touch the book? The book finally stops moving, and it stays on one page. There’s an image in the book. I look hard at what’s being portrayed, and it’s the image of a beast with large horns.

Alex and the others also had to return their favor. Looking at the insect squad with a peculiar appearance, Alex suddenly remembered that he still had a strange book called The Boundless Buddhist Creature. It was a magical treasure that could forcefully transcend demons and mythical creatures into Buddhist creatures. He whispered something in Zendaya’s ear. The next second, his body shook, and five mirror images of him manifested. “I’ll go first!” Alex’s images entered the battlefield while he escaped underground.

I smiled as he nodded again, his brown hair bouncing around as he leaned in a little closer. I opened the book and started flipping through the pages, looking for a good story or myth to read to him. I paused for a moment at the title page that read ‘The All Mother and the Sacred Four’, tilting the book towards Calix. He smiled and scooted closer, nodding again as I turned the final page and cleared my throat.

Curious, I picked it and read the words written on the hard cover; ‘Lobo’ was the single word that was inscribed into the thick cover. I opened the first page and saw that it was written in foreign language. I glanced at Sir Nich, he was engrossed in whatever he was writing. I returned my attention to the hand-drawn, black ink pictures in the book. They were of some kind of beast. The beast that I saw looked like a giant wolf and the artist had put extra effort in drawing their deathly eyes. There were several writings on the page. ‘Only if I could understand this,’ I thought. The book had caught my interest. I was so indulged in the drawing of the creatures that I hadn’t noticed Sir Nich wa
