All Chapters of That Beauty is The Beast: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I guess getting to meet Indigo will have to wait for a while. According to their protocols, I have been sent back to the academy so I will not cause any more trouble. If anything, I am being sent to Lizzen’s office to get my punishment for disobeying the rules. Marian and the others attempted to speak up for me, claiming that they would testify in my favor or something in order to prevent me from being expelled from the academy. I'm not sure what it means to "testify," but if it keeps me in the human world, I'm more than appreciative of them. I don’t think that I am ready to return to the forest yet, not when the black wolf is still somewhere in the woods. I am fully aware that the wolf doesn’t seem like it might pose any threat to me or my wolf, but hearing it call me its mate is something that screams "red flag" to me. I know what a mate is, and with my current predicament, I don’t think that a mate is the last thing that I need right now. I don’t even think that I'm ready for su

The next few days, I have been busy trying to make a report, as per Captain Lizzen’s request. Not only that, but I have to clean the garden instead of participating in combat classes. The others are fairly worried about me as well, especially Marian, who still feels very guilty thinking that she’s part of the reason why I am receiving punishment. “You guys really don’t have to stay here and help.” I turn to Marian, Celine, Frank, Duncan, and Conrad. The five of them have been helping me clean the garden the whole time while also missing out on their combat classes. “No way would we let you finish the job all on your own. The garden is too big for you to clean all by yourself.” Marian is very quick to oppose. She’s not even meeting my gaze as she aggressively rakes the leaves and gathering them on one place. “Besides, you wouldn’t be here if you did not leave your post to save me. Iowe you a favour.” How adorable. I could not help but smile at how genuine her words are. “You don’t

I have this bad habit that, when I am trying to look for answers, I have a tendency to take certain risks. My father always tells me that I should change this specific behavior of mine because it could one day get me killed. Of course, I listen, but the matter of following through is a different matter. Sneaking out late at night from human territory is easier than I thought. The security isn’t lacking, but when I am in my wolf form, I am just fast enough to get through the blind spots of the night guards. Upon my arrival in the forest, I begin my search. I use my nose to help me catch the scent of the black wolf. I barely remember what the wolf smells like, so I am just blindly sniffing the area in hopes of catching a familiar scent. Since the last time that I saw the wolf was in the orc’s cave, I decided to head there. The night is cold, but with my fur covering my body, I should feel fine, but for some reason I am shivering. I doubt that it is because of the cold. The area s

The atmosphere around us is as awkward as it gets. Even though Maxwell is the main attraction, I can feel some eyes on me after he addressed me by name. “Hey, mutt. Didn’t I say not to cause a scene or I will drag you back into your cage?” Ajax’s piercing gaze is enough to make the other onlookers divert their attention, but the one receiving that gaze just seems to be pretty relaxed. Max rolls his eyes. He turns to Ajax without even a hint of fear in his demeanor. “Has anyone told you that you are a mood killer? It’s not my fault that I am grabbing attention.” A cocky smirk spreads on his lips. “I was blessed by the moon goddess with a handsome face.” “I wish the goddess gave you some common sense to figure out that the reason everyone is staring at you is because you are a mongrel amongst humans.” Ajax says it with so much spite that even when I knew that he wasn’t talking to me, I was still offended. I turn to the others in the room only to find that they are looking at Maxwell

The first time that they asked me about working with Max, all I wanted to do was run away because doing that would mean that I had to go back to the pack. It’s not like I don’t like the pack. It’s just what the idea of going back after running away will be like. Back in the pack, all I have for them is my title and my father. As their beta, the alpha still has mysterious control over me, so it would hurt me more to disobey him. Ajax, Indigo, Max, and I are all in a car the next day. Ajax and Indigo are going to take us out of the gate and serve as lookouts. Max will go out and talk to the Lycans while I remain by his side to serve as his escort. Of course, I doubt that the hunters would have allowed me to go along with Max if they knew that I am a lycan in the first place. “Are you nervous, Belle?” Inside the car, our seats are facing each other. Max and I are sitting on one side, while Ajax and Indigo are seated opposite of ours. Indigo is the one who asks the question out of con
