The Beast Within Novels & Stories

"A lot of literature says that the original drinkers from the river had their powers influenced by the reflection of their inner self. The original Summoner was an insecure young girl, who wanted to be someone she was not." Delving my hands into my damp hair, I fight the urge to cry, the feeling burning at the back of my eyes. "So you're saying the Beast is...well, a child-eating beast because it was creepy pervert as a human?" Tai asks unnervingly, unsure if he wants an absolute answer. None of us want this. I can tell we all have that uncomfortable feeling lingering over us, accompanied by a feral rage to kill whatever disgusting creature this predator has turned into.

The Beast Within The cavern trembled as the beast lunged, its roar echoing like thunder against the stone walls. It was unlike anything I had ever faced—half silver, half shadow, its body rippling with both light and darkness. My wolf snarled inside me, but the shadows whispered hungrily at the same time, both demanding control. My chest tightened. If I let one lead, I lose the other. The beast’s claws struck the ground where I had stood a heartbeat earlier, the stone shattering. I rolled aside, shadow-blades forming in my hands, silver fire burning across the edges. For the first time, the weapons didn’t flicker—they burned steady, both forces working togethe

A low, wordless growl rumbled in the back of my mind, faint and distant, a primal warning that sent a shiver down my spine. I couldn’t place it — it wasn’t my own fear, but something else, something ancient and wild, screaming at me to run. The Blue Moon Beast was the apex predator of the Black Forest — ten times more savage than a hellhound. Any creature that entered its territory, werewolf or otherwise, didn't leave alive. "I want to take one home — Damien, isn't it pretty?" Wendy raised her bow and nocked an arrow. "Don't!" The arrow was already in the air.

I made a plan that night to end her. The next night my parents had a big important party with some of my father’s clients from work. I knew that Rose would be over. When she arrived my mother kissed my forehead and left with my father. The sun hadn’t set yet so I asked Rose to go for a walk with me. She agreed and we took off into the woods behind my house. I got ahead of her and then made her think she had lost me. While she frantically looked for me I snuck behind her. I found a large piece of wood and crept up behind her. She heard the brush below my feet break as I approached her and quickly turned around. I then unleashed the Monster inside me. It was brutal and very sloppy. I honestly

“Everyone says that we are cursed creatures. Creatures who live in the dark deserve to die because we bring harm to everyone around us. But we eventually strived and made a name for ourselves. Now others come to us to ask for our protection.” “Why do they call you cursed?” “Because we are,” he told me with a gentle smile, “we share the same looks, as if we’re the same kind, but when something happens, or when need be, or when the moon is full, we transform into monsters.” “I’ve never seen anyone transform,” I told him. He chuckled and shook his head. “Maybe he never let you.” I stared at him, startled. How did he know that I was talking about Zeke?

That statement from my mother rang inside my head like a bell, and I quickly clutched my head tight while trembling. I felt Jaden hug me tight as he was asking what was wrong with me, but his voice sounded distant and faint. "If you don't save them, this will be their fate. Not even your mate will be spared!" The words from the so-called beast inside me echoed alongside my mother's voice, taunting me and forcing me to shriek. "I am your second beast. You just have to be strong till I rise." That was what the beast had said to me afterwards, and hearing it again now, I realized it must be that same beast that I felt its movement inside me earlier.

"Things have changed since you left." "What kind of things?" "There are people living here who's not..normal. People who can transform into creatures at night." My eyes widened. "Werewolves?" "Yeah. But the beast is unlike the others. It's vicious and bloodthirsty. It kills people in its blinded rage." "So that was what dad talked about." "The Hunter group is going crazy for the beast. It's deadly and unpredictable. Not to mention that there's more than one." "Meaning the werewolves?"

"my sister called and told me you aren't at work and yesterday too, she also told me about the drama between you and that Matt dude. Are you okay?" I hugged her, "I'm fine. I just didn't feel okay and Sophie too.. I felt that in my blood." "Sophie.. What happened?" Sophie looked at me and I started telling the story. I left out the affair part. Just said her and a friend were in the forest and almost got attached. Jeremy was as shocked as I was playing out to be. "what has become of this world.. Do you know what animals they were?" "yeah... The animals that make a howling sound on a full moon to communicate with each other in these stupid movies."

The fiction was too much, and my wall tightened around him as I held him deep inside me. Black spots danced in my vision as my body trembled. It was more than just my impending orgasm. My beast was fighting me to come forward, demanding that I claim our mate. Killian's muscled tightened as he let out a deep guttural moan. The sound of it sent me over the edge as he whispered with a wild look in his eye. "Again." My teeth extended as I gave in to my beast, wanting it just as badly as she did.

"They will work day and night on our weapon. Every resource, and every ingredient will be ready. In two nights' time, the beast will be dead." **************** THE BEAST Within the forbidden chamber, bathed in the crimson glow of its recent feast, the beast lay sated. The taste of blood still lingered in its mouth, savoring the flavor as it basked in the afterglow of its carnal desires fulfilled. The beast's body shuddered. A ripple a strange metamorphosis surging from within. Paws contorted, bones shifting with sickening snaps beneath fur. Claws became blunt nails. Hindquarters elongated, warped, and reshaped.
