Bella's Beast

Chapter 1

"Arabella! You're gonna be late for camp!" I heard my sister's voice before my alarm went off. I checked the clock and it was only 5am. Our time of assembly wasn't until 8am.

"No, I'm not! Ten more minutes!"

In the end, I arrived at the terminal at 7:30. It was gonna be a long ride so I immediately took a comfortable seat where I can take a nap for the most of it. I slept like a log that when I woke up, we were already at our destination.

"Students, you have two hours to prepare your tents and get yourselves comfortable. Wait for instructions until then. You may go."

I found it ironic that the words 'tent' and 'comfortable' were used in the same sentence. I could never be comfortable with this setup.

When everything was set, I decided to take a rest in my tent... But I got cornered by these mean-girl-wannabes of from the same department.

"Going somewhere? B*tch."

"I heard you were flirting with Marcus from the Engineering Department. Didn't you know that he's mine?" She shoved me but I managed to hold my ground.

Marcus? Oh. Yes. Of course. The president of the college of engineering who went to ask me whether my classmate, Jackson, was single. Marcus was not what they thought he was.

"Yeah, we get along. You got a problem with that?"

"You sl*t!" She suddenly pulled my hair and dragged me to the ground. I was defenseless. There was three of them and I had no one to help me.

I tried defending myself as hard as I could. But it was no use defending so I decided to get offensive.

They say that the bite force of a human is enough to penetrate the skin... And so I did. I bit whoever's arm came across my mouth and before I knew it, I was already standing on my foot a few meters from them, my mouth tasted of iron.

Jennifer's screams summoned our professors and that was when I realized the trouble I was in. I panicked and ran to the woods.

It started to rain. Fortunately, I came across a cave while getting as far away from camp as possible. They're going to look for me anyway so I decided to wait here.

The cave was damp and cold. The light from the setting sun could only reach as far as about ten meters before it's gone completely dark inside. I was just hoping that there weren't any rabid beast resting beyond the darkness.

"W-Who's there?" A soft and timid voice echoed in the cavern walls. He sounded scared and confused. A boy, perhaps?

"Who are you?"

"Your... Your mouth smells good." I was startled at his remark. Finally, he stepped into the light and I could see his scrawny figure. He's taller than me but he looked like he's only in senior high school.

But boy, he gave me the creeps. My mouth smelled good? But the last thing I had in my mouth was...

"Yeah... I like it. It's delicious." I didn't realize that he already kissed me until it was done. He kissed me as in gobbling my mouth hole, savoring what was left of Jennifer's blood. "Oh. I'm sorry. My name is Tiny—"

"Gross!" I pushed him away and stumbled to leave.

"No, wait! Please, just-" he suddenly whimpered in pain, crouched on the ground. "It's... It's too hot..."

My senses were screaming for me to run. But I stopped and stepped closer to him. There I noticed that his complexion was so pale. His pupils were dilated and he's sweating waterfalls. On his mouth... He just grew fangs. As in, canine fangs.

"Ughh..." He groaned and started clawing the ground... Claws...

"You... You're not human."

I've read of his kind in my grandfather's old textbooks. In the most secluded parts of our city, there lived a different kind of species that as if came straight out of fantasy. People thought that they were only legends. But my grandfather and his fathers before him believed... I didn't at first. But seeing this guy in front of me confirmed their existence.

"You're a beastman."

"I... I am... Please help... Me... It... It hurts..." He tried to reach his hand towards me, but he felt a sudden pain down his abdomen which led him to crouch helplessly once again.

"How can I help you when I don't know what's happening to you?" I might have an idea, but I was not so sure... And I was afraid to find out.

"I'm... Athirst... It's too hot..." He cried and my heart fell for him.

"Wait here."

The rain was already pouring so hard and that was a good thing. I cupped my hands to get some rainwater and bring it back to him... But more than half of the water had already dripped past mt hands before it reached him.

I realized I had no choice. I took off my shirt, revealing my lacy baby blue bra, and absorbed rainwater with it.

"Sorry, it's all I have. Don't worry, I tried to squeeze as much of my sweat from there." I said, embarassed.

But he's a beastman. I wondered if they cared about hygiene as much as we do. Maybe not?

Thankfully, he's calmed down a bit. I was starting to get a little cold so I sat at the corner where the rocks could conceal the winds from in and out of the cave.

"Thank you." He said, breaking the silence.

"It's okay." No, it wasn't. My conscience was telling me to leave, but I just couldn't. Something was keeping me from leaving him. There was as if an invisible force that was making me so drawn to him.

But then again, I did like this kind of kink-no! I have to stop!

"I should... I should probably... Go..." I tried to say, but a part of me refused to listen to reason.

"Please stay... I'm scared of thunder."

Why did it have to be this guy? I always had a soft heart for people like him.

"Fine. Just until the rain stops. What are you doing here, anyway?"

"It's my coming of age. I have to prepare for the ritual once the full moon is at its peak."

"What kind of ritual?" I asked, not knowing exactly whether I would like to hear the answer or not.

"The elders... Say that it was... Aaarggh—!" He crouched from the exquisite pain in his abdomen once again. "Make... Make it stop... Please!"

His tear-stained face was too much. I wanted to help him but I didn't know how. I reached for his cheek to wipe his tears but I was shocked to feel how high his temperature was.

At that point, I already had an idea as to what was happening... But I was scared to confirm it. Maybe he was just really having a fever, after all.

I took off his bearskin clothes, revealing his nakedness. Fur started to appear in every part of his body. His physique suddenly got meatier... As in... meatier.

But what really caught my attention was what he was hiding down there. Fur covered his testicles while the rest was laid bare... It was hungry for what was between my own legs.

"Help... Please... What is happening to me...?" My attention went back to his pitiful face... Pitiful wolf face. He's completely morphed into a beast... A rabid one at that.

His snout slightly agape, and his warm saliva dripping down to the cavern floor. If I didn't do anything aside from running, I would definitely be devoured.

"You're in heat. It means that you're ready for mating."

"But how do I... Make it stop...?"

Some sort of sticky liquid was already dripping out of his member... I was also starting to get wet myself, but no! I couldn't... I shouldn't do it with a beast.

"I'll teach you how to do it yourself. Give me your hand."
