Ari (Child of the Beastman Goddess)

I told them regarding my past life and the world I used to live in. I even told them why I was afraid of males and how I died. I cried as I trembled while sharing my past life and the hardships I went through.

They all looked shocked and felt sorry for me.

“Shhh… I will never let anyone hurt you again. As long as I am alive, I will never let anyone hurt my precious little sister.” My brother whispered as he hugged me tightly to console me.

It was already the break of day when we finally finished our conversation. They urged me to sleep back since I looked pale and exhausted.

My brother cuddled me to sleep while Lowell slept beside Gurion and Dillon stayed awake to guard us and treat his wounds.

When I woke up, Dillon took a nap for a little bit and my brother took Gurion to teach him how to hunt small animals. Lowell prepared my breakfast and some tonics.

“Is this a calming tonic?” I asked curiously.

“Yes…” He answered casually.

“Thanks for the tonic… I really needed it.” I mumbled as I started to eat my breakfast.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

I was still curious on how Lowell got the wound on his lips. I felt disturbed as if I thought I had an idea, but I couldn’t bring myself to believe it.

“Can you please explain what exactly I did when I was unconscious?” I asked as I mustered up my courage.

He started to share the details despite his hesitation.

*****************************************************

The rain kept falling and the sky was covered by the rain clouds. I stayed in a distance guarding Ari and the rest of the group. Even though I couldn’t see the moon, I was sure it was a full moon. For some reason, I felt more agitated than usual because of it.

Wolves can sense the changes of the moon, making us sensitive during full moon.

I felt extremely jealous while seeing Dillon hugging Ari from the back. She looked flustered, but I don’t have the right to pull him away from her.

The rain started to stop before midnight and the sky suddenly cleared up showing a menacing looking blood moon. I felt nervous for some reason.

I went up to the century tree and tried to wake up Dillon so we could switch because I felt extremely agitated due to the blood stained moon, but Ari suddenly woke up.

“Ari? Sorry… Did I wake you up?” I asked Ari, but she didn’t answer.

She kept walking towards me while Dillon was still sitting on my side half asleep trying to wake himself up by rubbing his eyes and yawning a few times.

I felt a different energy coming from Ari as she walked towards me silently while looking downward. Her body suddenly grew as she transformed into a female passive form. Half of her hair turned black and it grew longer. When she opened her eyes, it turned ash gray. The symbol of the goddess of the moonlight.

I was so terrified and confused at the same time that I stepped back subconsciously until I lost my footing. I suddenly felt as if my throat was being strangled as she raised her hand towards me.

Dillon was shocked and confused upon seeing Ari with a different appearance.

“Ari…? Is that Ari? What’s going on?” Dillon asked while being confused as he tried to stand up and walk closer to Ari.

She suddenly waved her other hand to Dillon, throwing a quite powerful force. He didn’t budge, but he obtained a few cuts. She suddenly restrained him using a force we couldn’t see.

“I am Ayla, goddess of the moonlight. Finally, I found her… But… What do we have here? Hahaha! Interesting! Did she turn into a normal beastman after being reborn? She even earned a bunch of slaves. Tsk! Tsk! How about becoming mine instead… I’m more beautiful and powerful than her. What did you say little wolf?” She mumbled casually confirming her difference from my Ari.

I felt restrained as she held my face with a lustful look on her face. I couldn’t move my body. I growled in resistance.

She looked so much like Ari, but she was a totally different person. Her eyes glimmered like the moonlight and her smile looks menacing.

I couldn’t even transform into my beast form as I was afraid that I might hurt Ari too. I don’t know what to do.

She pulled me up, making me kneel in front of her as she leaned towards me. She tried to press her lips against mine, but I tried to dodge it by moving my head away. She suddenly bit my lips due to anger till it bled. She licked the blood and nibbled on it trying to tease me.

I can smell Ari’s scent from her so I suddenly lost my cool as if I was being controlled against my will. I kissed her back and I couldn’t retaliate nor stop myself. It’s Ari’s lips and scent, but it’s not her at the same time.

“*cough* Ari… Wake up!” Dillon cried as he saw her being intimate with me.

Orson woke up confused due to the commotion. He laid down Gurion properly, being careful not to wake him up trying to sneak in the back of the female in front of me.

The female suddenly stopped kissing me as she moved to my back then kicked me towards Dillon.

“Is that really Ari?” Orson asked in confusion.

“*cough* She said she is Ayla, but it’s clearly Ari’s physical body despite some changes in her appearance.

“Haha! A bear?! Oh! I see… So you are this body’s maternal brother. How cute… She’s my sister too… Does that mean I’m also your sister too?” She mumbled as she laughed creepily.

Orson tackled her, holding her down trying to restrain her.

“Oh my… You wanted a hug? You should have just said so…” She said while smirking.

The blood moonlight began to fade as I howled subconsciously due to the changes of the face of the moon.

She suddenly fainted as the bloodstain from the moonlight totally faded. Her body transformed back to its original state.

She woke up, puzzled, as if she wasn’t aware of what had happened.

“Ari… Are you finally awake?” Orson asked her worryingly.

“Brother… What’s happening?” She said in confusion as she gasped for air as if she had just woken up from a terrifying nightmare.
