That Beauty is The Beast Chapter 38 Our Bond
It is like waking up from a dream—or a very perplexing nightmare—to find Ajax right here. Seeing the human hunter before me change so drastically has left me with conflicting emotions and mind boggling questions. Why are his eyes like that? Why are they glowing? Human eyes shouldn’t be glowing! With swift movements, Ajax leaps and is now standing a few feet from us. He drops his blades to the floor and cautiously makes his way over to us with his hands in the air like he is showing Max that he means him no harm. As he draws nearer, I see that his eyes have returned to normal, and I begin to doubt that what I saw was real. “Let the Belle go, and you can go back safely to your pack.” The calmness in his voice is more frightening than the fact that he is facing a lycan with no weapon at all. The three of us are alone in the woods with no one to stop these two aside from me if things end up in a fight. Having that thought in mind, who would I side with if things ended badly? Normally,

“Are you Ajax or are you Midnight? What’s your real identity?” I demanded when he didn’t answer me the first time I asked. Ajax continues to let the question dwell in the air for a little longer before he seems to finally have found his voice. “The name Midnight is something that I came up with on the spot. You can call me Ajax, just like you usually do. Nothing has changed.” He turns his back to me as he goes to pick up his blades, cleans them, and puts them back in their sheaths. His broad shoulders tensed up against his fitted black shirt as he adjusted the straps on the sheaths. “Of course this changes things!” We’re still in enemy territory, and yelling like I am doing might not be the best course of action. I’m certain that my wolf is as distressed as I am. “All this time, you've been like me! You’re a werewolf!” Ajax lets out an exasperated sigh, brushing stray hairs hovering over his eyes out of his face. “You’re being a little bit overdramatic. You’ll attract unwanted att

Brick clad roads lined with wooden houses are what caught my attention. It is possible that this is the first time I have ever seen such a technologically advanced wolf pack, though still not on par with human civilization. From what I can see, construction in this area has only recently begun because there are some roads and houses that are currently being built. Even though the place is still developing, there’s a lot to see. It seems that housing for the families has been established first, along with another shed for medicine and food. They even made a poultry farm a few blocks down. The wolves in this area are all properly attired, not just in some shoddy animal felt that has been twine-sewn together. Every member of the pack also smells fresh and clean. It’s so different from the smell of sweat, urine, and blood that I am so accustomed to. As I walk along the road with Ajax, I notice a few lingering stares in our direction. At first, I thought that it must be due to Ajax b

Indigo is one of the well known and respected captains of the hunters in human territory. Learning that he was a werewolf rendered me speechless, and Ajax had to send him away to get me something to drink. “I can’t believe that you are so shocked to hear that Indigo is a werewolf, yet did not have the same reaction when I told you that I am one.” I think this is Ajax's attempt at a joke, but the way he says it is pretty dry, which makes the joke kind of pointless. Also, the fact that he is trying to clean the dirt and mud off of his jacket does not scream humor or concern to me at all. Come to think of it, I don’t think that I can judge him since I believe that I look worse. My jacket might have rips around the arm, and I am pretty sure that stray strands of hair are poking out of my ponytail. “That’s because Indigo has a pretty high rank within the hunters.” I try to wrap my head around the fact that the werewolves have infiltrated humans enough that a person like Indigo manage

Never have I imagined the day when I would willingly give another supernatural race information regarding the Lycans. I never revealed the information to them about our hideout. I only tell them about minimal facts, like their short temper and aggression toward others who dare step foot into their territory. I can only guess that Ajax and Indigo are trying to get clues on the possibility of the lycan’s hideout without having me break my promise as the pack’s beta. Currently, we’re back at Indigo’s private headquarters back in human territory in order to avoid complications and suspicion over why we were out in the woods for too long. We made a report about Max before, which the humans didn’t receive as good news since they had an agreement with Maxwell before about peace between our races. Now that Max is free, there is no telling what he will do next.The next day, they commenced a lockdown on the entire city, leaving me little time to talk to either Ajax or Indigo. Indigo has be

Getting to patrol with Celine is probably going to hurt my ear more than my feet as we walk along town. She’s been talking nonstop, and I could not even remember half the things she said because I could not relate to them. I take back what I said a while ago. I don’t think that I want to act human. I just want to go and become a wolf and get lost in the forest. I AM GOING DEAF AT THIS POINT! I decided to try to focus on looking around, hoping that something would distract me from listening to her. Fortunately, Duncan managed to catch up with us and is responding to Celine, by which I mean arguing with her about whatever it is that they are talking about. Humans. They’re just birds, specifically chickens, that can’t see to control their mouth. My eyes start to scan every dark alleyway. My wolf eyes allow me to see around every dark corner, while my nose lets me smell anything that would be invisible to our eyes. So far, everything has been peaceful, except for the two chickens bes
Last Updated : 2023-07-23That Beauty is The Beast Chapter 44 Hear Me
Shrieks of terror envelope the street from the hunters as the gremlins begin their attack. The stench of blood fills the air, and the sound of ripping flesh continues along with bloodcurling screams. There is no doubt that humans are the first ones to fall, as the attacks have been sudden and happened at night, where they are at a great disadvantage. I turn to my friends to check on them and see how they are doing. Celine and Duncan seem fine, and they are defending themselves pretty well. I turn to a nearby gremlin and bare my teeth on instinct to scare them off. I’m grateful that the night shrouded us because I would have been caught if it hadn’t. It also gave the gremlins around us the idea that I was a dangerous predator that they should be wary of, and they immediately cleared the premises, allowing me to get to my friends quickly. “Are you guys alright?” “Compared to the others, we are doing well!” Duncan yells over the noise. “Let’s get to the others and get ourselves some

My father is gone. The reality of it keeps sinking in every time I wake up. Sleep can’t fix or change reality, but it does bring the comfort of not worrying about it. I’ll admit that what I was doing was unhealthy. It’s something that I should face sooner or later, but in my situation, it’s a rather difficult thing to do. I could not talk about my problems with anyone. I could not even talk about it to my human friends because, as far as they knew, my father was already gone—at least from the story that I told them when I got here. The only person, or werewolf, that I could really confide in is Ajax, whom I refuse to talk to. I refuse to trust him again. He had made several attempts to talk to me, but every time he did, I would slam the door in his face. I didn’t go unpunished when I disobeyed an order during an emergency. After making a recovery in the infirmary, I was given a week of suspension. Well, not like getting in trouble or getting kicked out of the academy is any of

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
