That Beauty is The Beast Chapter 12 A Tour With Ajax
To find out that I have a room of my own in the academy and I have to move out is not something that bothers me. More like, it bothers Holly more than I. “I want to live with Belle!” Holly demands while clinging to my waist. We’re currently at the academy, where my what little of my belonging are being transferred to my new room. Well, it’s not like I have much to transfer anyway. “Miss Holly, you can’t.” Indigo, who is her acting bodyguard at the moment, says. He speaks to her in a lower voice, hoping that she’d understand. “Belle is going to stay in this room so she can study and become a strong hunter.” “She’s already a strong hunter.” She argues. “But she will become someone even stronger if she studies.” “No!” Holly says obstinately, her face buried in my hip. Indigo turns to me in defeat, like he is asking for my help. How can these humans be so weak that they can’t tame their little ones? I scratch the back of my head after letting out a tired sigh. I don’t even have a
Last Updated : 2024-10-29That Beauty is The Beast Chapter 13 Friends of Ajax
“We heard you were touring the new student, so we dropped by to greet you.” One of the guys slings his arm over Ajax’s shoulder in a friendly gesture. The other guy seems composed, while Ajax seems like he is about to elbow him in the chest. His attire is the same one that Ajax and I are wearing, which I learned is a standard uniform for a hunter in training–black shirt, army pants, and combat boots. “Feris, you better remove your arm before you lose it.” Contrary to the friendly young hunter in training’s tone, Ajax’s is more threatening. Despite Ajax’s warning, Feris just laughs like he just heard a joke. “Geez, why are you so temperamental today? You always are, but this time it seems like you are more moody.” Feris is a tall guy with a short cut red hair. At first glance, he and Ajax appear to be the same height, but a closer look reveals that Feris is actually taller than Ajax. He has a few freckles on his cheeks, but you can’t really notice them because his green eyes would
Last Updated : 2024-10-29That Beauty is The Beast Chapter 14 Fighting Knife
Not being able to move around in my wolf form is putting me in a lot of stress. Back when I was in Holly’s mansion, I used to be able to sneak around at the back since my room faces the garden. Granted, I can’t run to my heart’s content, but at least I am able to shed into my wolf form. Not only am I stressing my wolf, but I am also stressing my brain from trying to understand complex letters and words during class. I felt like screaming. I don’t even know why hunters would even study the concept of math when you can use your instincts to capture a prey. Seriously, I am going to say it again, humans make their lives complicated! “You’re late.” Ajax informs me as soon as I manage to arrive during the morning training exercise of our combat class. My schedule is the same as Ajax, which I have an inkling that it was arranged that way so he can keep an eye on me. “Your hair is in a mess.” He frowns when he sees my ruffled knot of hair. “I just overslept.” I lie with a straight face.
Last Updated : 2024-10-29That Beauty is The Beast Chapter 15 Name
Last night, I had trouble sleeping because I kept thinking about which of the lycans was idiot enough to get caught. Honestly? I can think of several, but I will not name them because I might end up naming almost half of our village. My only problem is, how do I find out where they are keeping the lycan prisoner? More importantly, how am I going to ask this question to Ajax without him noticing? If only Ajax is the type of human who would fall for my looks, I learned that I have a certain charm with most of the men here, which helps me a lot and, at the same time, scares me as it seems like humans and lycans are not that different, after all. “Tell me what you want, and stop following me.” Ajax sounds irritated while I am following him to the library. Even though Ajax might not look like it, he’s a pretty studious student who I just found out is ranked 8th in our age gap. Since he’s this smart, I might as well thread my question carefully. “Are you going to spend your entire day
Last Updated : 2024-10-29That Beauty is The Beast Chapter 16 Test
Maxwell. That damn guy! I wonder what is he planning!? There’s no way that the son of the lycantroupe alpha would be caught if he wasn’t willing. Hell, I don’t even think that he even put up a fight to be captured like that so easily. Whatever reason he has, I need to see and talk to him so I will know what he is plotting. The only problem is, only Ajax and Indigo knows where he is. And more unfortunate news for me, the only way for Ajax to bring me to the lycan is if I pass the stupid tests of this academy. “Hey there, Belle. What are you up to?” Celine takes a seat next to me on the ground, where I have a book open on my lap. On most days, I would usually welcome her because I love her energy and bright personality. But right now, when I am trying to concentrate on studying, I just find it unwelcoming. “Sorry, Celine, but can you quiet down? I am trying to study for the exam.” I feel bad about dismissing her, but if I want to get the chance to talk to Max, then I need to mee
Last Updated : 2024-10-29That Beauty is The Beast Chapter 17 The White Demon Lycan
True to his word, Ajax got me permission to go with him to see the Lycan. The next day, Ajax was already taking me to the farthest, most heavily guarded building on campus. Based on the map of the school, I think it is one of the three main strongholds where hunters often rest. On my own, I don’t think that I would be able to get to Max if I didn’t fight, but that would mean revealing myself as a wolf. “Ajax, Belle!” Indigo waves us over while we wait and chat with a few of the guards standing outside of the building. “What took you two so long?” He wonders before a teasing grin spreads across his lips. “You two did not head of somewhere to have some along time, did you?” “Just the cafeteria.” Ajax responds plainly, jerking his thumb in my direction. “She was taking her sweet time eating.” “But it’s toast Tuesday for breakfast!” I defended myself. “You can’t miss out on French toasts!” Ajax gives me an annoyed look. “It’s just toast.” “With extra butter!” By now, Indig
Last Updated : 2024-10-29That Beauty is The Beast Chapter 18 Broken Gates
Today we were given permission to go down and help out in the evacuation center. There has been a recent attack near one of the town boarders. The gate there has been broken by orcs, who have started attacking people.Female hunters are not allowed to join because it is the orcs' mating season; as a result, they can only send a certain number of hunters out into the field to help; for this reason, they need the help of a selected group of students. I know that it is an important mission, but I just can’t keep my full attention on the task. My mind has been distracted lately ever since seeing Max.“Belle, what are you doing, gawking and staring? Move!” One of the head female hunters scolds me when she notices that I have been staring blankly for a while now. “If you’re not going to help, then stay to the side. You’re blocking the way.”It’s been a few days already since I've met Maxwell, and yet I still can’t shake off the worry that I have about his words. It was vague, but I know hi

Along the way, I have to separate myself from the horse that I borrowed to get out of the gate. It’s not because I could not control it, but because the animal refuses to go back deeper in the woods. It probably remembers its terrifying experience in this area. I can’t blame it for its reaction. Even I would probably be traumatized. I left the horse midway and started to continue on foot. Tracking down where they have been is pretty easy with the help of my wolf. I have been hanging out with them for quite a while now and have successfully memorized their scent, which is pretty lucky. I managed to encounter two orcs along the way, which I had to kill quickly before they could yell out and warn the other orcs. It was difficult, considering that it was my first time fighting the orcs on two feet. Usually, I would be in my wolf form when fighting. It is more comfortable for me that way since I am faster and more powerful. More than that, all of my senses were heightened. Orcs are tall

That Beauty is The Beast EPILOGUE
I run into the woods as fast as my four wolf legs can carry me. My run would have been more joyful if I wasn’t being chased by someone. ‘Too slow!’ Ajax’s black wolf form appears out of the woods to come and jump at me. I sidestepped and leaped to my left. In mid-jump, I change my form. My legs grew longer and my back became straighter, elongating enough to support my new form. I bounce on my two legs, jumping high up until I am perching on one of the branches of a tree. I smirk as I look down on Ajax. His cold glare doesn’t even look nearly as scary as when I am standing on the same ground as him. ‘That’s cheating, Belle! You are using your lycan form!’ ‘Don’t be ridiculous. This is just me using my gifts.’ I give him a toothy grin. I feel like my smile is scarier as a lycan than it is when I am a werewolf. ‘Get down from there.’ ‘Why don’t you climb up?’ I continue to taunt him, enjoying the way that his face scrunches as he frowns. I chuckle. ‘Oh, alright. Fine.’ I jump do
That Beauty is The Beast Chapter 86 New Homes
I can feel the Lycan soul in my chest shifting impatiently as I follow Ajax and Indigo to the lair. The loud noises of growling and howling were making me antsy. It was so loud that I could hear them behind the waterfalls. Through the noises that they were making, I can somehow hear their fear and anguish. There’s nothing worse for outgoing creatures like us than to be held captive, especially in their own home. “Are you alright?”Ajax pauses when he notices me clutching my chest. His forehead creases with worry. “How long have they been kept in there?”My chest hammers wildly as I anticipate his response. “For as long as you were out.” When he sees my bewildered expression, he adds, “but we do try to let them out as much as possible!” I appreciate what Ajax did, honestly. He also knows that lycans get claustrophobic if they aren’t out and running—they are just like werewolves. However, in their minds, they are prisoners, so I know that they would never step foot outside even if t
That Beauty is The Beast Chapter 85 Rightful Place
About three days later, I return to the academy, much to my mother and doctor’s disapproval. I could not stand being in a sick ward room for so long because of all the smells of sickness and medicines. They give the two wolves inside of me anxiety. Arriving at the academy feels more like home to me than it was before. Getting out and smelling the familiar field of the academy fills me with so much ease that I even want to curl up in the dirt and sleep. However, there is one matter that I need to address.... “No.” Ajax straight up tells me before even hearing me out. I just got into his office after setting my stuff back in my room. “I won’t allow it.” “You didn’t even try to hear what I was going to say!” Ajax looks at me before grabbing my hand and leading me to the sofa, where he sits right next to me. He is still holding my hand. “You just recovered. You need to have a few more days of rest.” “Your idea of rest is based on human bodies. I am a werewolf and a lycan. My bod
That Beauty is The Beast Chapter 84 Oppressed Feelings
My emotions are all over the place, even as I am in my room and fully dressed. Celine is no longer in the room, probably after she sensed that I was out looking for her with a murderous intent. The only one with me right now is Marian, who is helping me tie dry my hair after a shower. “Lay off the grumpy expression, babe.” Marian gleefully tries to cheer me up. “I am sure that Celine only said it as a sort of motivational speech.” “But I am motivated.” I reply. “I do hope that you don’t mean to strangle her.” I flinch, knowing that I was caught red-handed. “Belle, we all want to strangle her most of the time, so you might have to wait for your turn.” She smiles and gives me a subtle wink. “Belle!” The childish scream comes first long before the child behind the door enters. Holly enters, bouncing on her tiptoes as she heads right towards me. Her arms barely enough to wrap around my waist when she hugs me. I fumble with my words. I may not remember much, but I do know that I
That Beauty is The Beast Chapter 83 Not Jealous
I wake up feeling something in my skin. Soft beeping of machines is forcing my brain to wake and regain consciousness. I crack an eye open. My vision is blurry from sleep. It takes a while before my eyes settle, allowing me to see my surroundings. I am in a room that I am not familiar with, but based on the machines and the smell of the place, I am definitely in a hospital. My left hand moves to remove the oxygen mask from my face so I can get a clear sniff of the room. Yep. I am definitely in a hospital. But how did I get here? My head spins as I push myself up. Muscles scream at me for the abrupt movement. It has been a while since I felt sore and stiff. But somehow I sense that this isn’t the normal soreness that one would feel coming from overusing muscles. It comes from not using your muscles for a long time. A click coming from the door alerts me to my incoming visitor. My attention diverts in that same direction at the same time as the familiar scent of someone wafts i
That Beauty is The Beast Chapter 82 Hate to Love
I am a monster. To think that I harmed those I vowed to protect with these hands of mine. What I have aren’t even hands. They’re the hands of a lycan, the very species that I despise. How did it come to this? I am a werewolf just a while ago. Why did I become a lycan? These thoughts swirled in my head as I continued to run in the forest with no destination in my. The sense of smell in this form dwindles when compared to my own form, but I am feeling the physical enhancement on my body. One swing from my arm and I can break a thinking tree in half. It is something that I could never do when I was a werewolf. The immense strength scares me. No other lycan is this powerful—not even the late alpha. I broke another tree. I stare at it for long, feeling troubled when I cause another damage in the forest. My breath hitches as I walk backward to stare at the damages, causing my back to hit a tree. I got startled, and instincts kicked in. I claw at the trunk, sending splinters everywhere
That Beauty is The Beast Chapter 81 Inside a Different Body
I am filled with rage to the point that my mind is clouded. I am not sure what I am here for, but I want to wreck everything. Strong emotions are driving me to howl loudly. It was a loud howl that could even rival the howl of an alpha. The strong waves from my howl shook the cave and making my ears ring. A movement draws me to the closest target in front of me. He is a bigger looking lycan. I believe that he is the current Alpha of the pack—I forgot his name. Just looking at him is somehow igniting a strong fire of rage in my chest. I can’t remember what he did or what I am doing here. There’s one thing in my mind that was clear, though. It is to get rid of that lycan. I want to see him bleed. I want to see him in pain. A ferocious growl escapes my lips, and I find myself moving towards him. My legs feel heavy. I think I am moving slower than I originally do, but the strength that I carry feels like it is more than doubled. I wildly swing a claw at the lycan before me. The opposin
That Beauty is The Beast Chapter 80 Broken Pledge
My ears were ringing when everyone was rendered speechless at my declaration in challenging his position. ‘Belle, what is this about?’ I can understand where Ajax’s confusion is. We talked about me taking over the pack before, and we deemed that it wouldn’t be wise if I am not fully committed to the role. ‘Don’t worry.’ I reassure him. ‘My intention for the challenge isn’t halfhearted.’ I briefly meet Ajax’s gaze, hoping my gaze can convince him of my conviction. As much as I hate the alpha, this is still my home. This is where I grew up. And although I didn’t have the best childhood, it doesn’t mean that I didn’t grow up with love. Not all Lycans rolled their eyes on us or made fun of us. Not all humans and werewolves are bad, just like not all lycans are. If that were true, I would have grown up to become rotten since my dad is a lycan. It’s just a matter of how the leader leads their colony. Ajax steps back. A proud smile seemed to creep on his wolfish feature. ‘You got th
That Beauty is The Beast Chapter 79 A Challenge
Alpha Lupert gazes down upon me with a steady gaze. Even from where I am, I can feel the brewing hatred from him in his aura. I grew scared at first, but the fear soon subsided when the burning rage ate away all other fleeting emotions I had. If anyone should be angry, it should be me. The Lycan I am facing is the root cause of all of my hardships. He took away my family, my life, and now, he took Holly. “You gained a look in your eye while staying with the humans.” He comments. He was almost growling and chewing out the words while talking in his lycan form. He then snorted. “Though it doesn’t seem to stop you from being a foolish coward. I can’t believe that it takes us to take a human girl for you to show yourself instead of hiding behind human walls.” ‘I wasn’t hiding.’ Unlike the lycans, I cannot speak with my mouth when I am in wolf form. ‘I was contemplating something.’ “Care to share what a traitor like you is thinking about after murdering my son?” He is going to regre
