Beastwoman in the Beast World

Chapter 1: Heartbreaks and Kidnappings

Main Summary

In an alternate world, similar to the beast world in Beauty & the Beasts, lives Elena - a Snake Beastwoman.

In this world, females have beast forms, multiple mates are rare due to the even numbers of both genders, females can gain stripes and there are more advancements in society.

Elena has sworn off males after struggling with her love life. She goes to sleep and wakes up in an entirely different beast world.

So different yet similar to her own.

Her mother used to say going to sleep angry wasn't the best thing to do.

Her mother was also not here to help Elena as she cried angrily into her pillow. Her parents had died years ago. It's not like they could scold her now for this.

Elena huffed as she stared up at her ceiling, Another rejection by another male. Was she really that bad? It's not like she was hideous! It was the opposite!

Elena had her snake father's long, silvery-blonde hair and white scales when in beast form. From her mother, she'd inherited her purple eyes and pale skin.

Still - it's not like that mattered!

Once guys find out she's a snake beastwoman, it's like she's the most disgusting thing on this planet.

Seriously? I can't believe that bullshit prejudice about us snakes is still around. And that was mostly about male snakes! That was centuries ago! People need to move on! Why can't guys just give me a chance?

Snake beastmen were rare to find. Especially single ones. Apparently, the fox beastwomen and mermaids really favour them. That's why most of them were already snatched up.

Elena angrily wiped her tears and promptly went to sleep, still pissed off.

Screw them! I don't need a male anyway! There are plenty of beastwomen who enjoy being single, right? I don't need no stupid male. Just Me, Myself and I!

Elena's forked tongue flicked out, her eyes snapping open when she sensed something very wrong. She sat up on the grass. Wait. Grass?

This was not her bed. This wasn't even her house!

Her house was gone!

Elena stared around in disbelief. She was in a forest. A forest she didn't recognise. Her forked tongue flickered out again, scenting the air.

Why are there so many male scents in the air? Someone having a really huge boys-only party or something? A bachelor party?

Most of the scents were old but some were quite fresh. Maybe this place was a popular area to hunt?

Elena ran a hand through her hair and calmed down once she sensed that no one else was around. For now. She leaned back on the tree behind her, stretching out her legs in front of her and contemplated her situation.

Okay. Someone has obviously kidnapped me and dumped me here. For what? To kill me? Sick entertainment? Why didn't they do anything when I was unconscious? How did they sneak up on me?

The last thought baffled her. Another reason males rejected her was because of her penta-marked status. It was rare for beastmen to reach that level, let alone beastwomen. Another reason to reject her. Their fragile egos couldn't take it. Most males prefer weak ass females for some reason. One male even had the audacity to tell her that it was due to her savage snake ancestry. Asshole.

Elena shook those thoughts away. Now wasn't the time to wallow about her pathetic love life.

How the Hell did they do this? Why? Was it revenge? Who the fuck would do this? Why me? It's not like I've got some cliche rival enemies. People stay away me! It's why I only have two friends.

Elena sighed. This was pointless. Whoever dumped her here didn't even leave a scent behind. She can figure it out later.

Standing up, she looked down at her short, silk, purple night gown and shrugged. Not ideal, but it's not like she knew she'd be kidnapped. The night gown was all she had. No bra, panties, shoes or socks.

Oh, well. Can't do anything about it now. I'll get some new clothes later or just stay in beast form/half beast form.

Time to find some civilisation.

Elena had opted to shift her bottom half into her usual white, scaly tail and slithered off at top speed towards the nearest populated area.

Knowing how people react to her kind, she shifted back into normal legs as she approached the village gates.

Spotting some leopard beastmen guards, Elena donned an indifferent expression on her face and braced herself. Either she'd be ignored or insulted. Or both.

What happened next shocked her.

Instead of turning up their noses at her, the leopard beastmen seem to perk up with blushes on their cheeks, jaws agape at her approach.

"Female! A beautiful female!!

"Such a beauty! My eyes have been blessed!"

"Please be my female!"

"No! Be mine!"

Elena watched in disbelief as the two guards got into a small scuffle over her. Her. A snake beastwoman.

She took a quick glance behind her. Nope. No one else here. So they're talking about.....me? ME? Really? Are they serious?!

Ruthlessly, she squished down the giddy feeling that rose up in her from the sudden positive attention. Nope. Not falling for this shit again. It doesn't matter. They'll lose the attraction soon enough when they realise she's a snake. No point in getting her hopes up again.

Males were all the same.
