Ari Chapter 18: Ruined Wedding
I hurriedly flew back to the tribe, even though I was still in a mess, because I wasn't able to fully remove the dust from my body due to the irritating male beastman, who was teasing me without showing himself. I felt quite annoyed while huffing in the sky—like a kindergarten student teased by a playful classmate. I sneakily flew over the high fence at the back of the tribal territory to prevent anyone from noticing my arrival. However, upon landing on the ground, a figure of a muscular being appeared beyond my eyes. His huge silhouette covered the sunset behind his back as his shadow covered me like the huge clouds in the sky. I was surprised and lost my balance as I stepped back and stumbled to the ground. I was so terrified and felt quite guilty, knowing I made a huge mistake while thinking of a proper excuse for my behavior. I was frightened to be scolded, but my mouth slipped and I asked, due to his silence, "F-Father, w-what brings you here?" I stuttered due to trembling as
Ari Chapter 19: A Handsome Male Wolf
I wasn’t restricted from going out, unlike the other female younglings, because I wasn’t showing any signs of estrus and due to the fact that I have no ability to make any physical contact with any male except my own siblings and father. The only restriction given to me by the elders was that I could not be alone with any male without the knowledge or permission of any of the elders. Any males who would try to pursue me without the knowledge of the elders, especially the Alpha, my father, shall be punished heavily according to the law of the Forest Lion Tribe. A few days later, I begged my father and the elder healer to allow me to go back to the spring one more time. No elders will be available to teach me at home because everyone will be busy attending the wedding ceremony except for myself. They agreed, but they asked me to return before dinner time so we could all dine together. They said that they planned not to attend the bonfire celebration for the newlyweds at night since I d
Ari Chapter 20: The Tangled Beastman
While flying, I landed back in the forest upon spotting a tree similar to a rubber tree.Upon checking, I confirmed that it really was a rubber tree. I wanted to take some of its resin, but I didn't bring any containers with me and just tied a handkerchief on its branch to mark it, hoping no one would remove it till I went back to fetch some resin. Then, I decided to walk back to familiarize myself with the area.While walking for a while, I suddenly smelled something familiar nearby, but the scent was faint, and it was coming from the cliff just a few meters away.I flew straight to the cliff to check if my intuition was correct, and upon checking, I saw an idiot—I mean, I saw a male beastman tangled up on the vines just a few meters below the cliff smiling at me as if nothing wrong was going on."Ari?" he asked with a surprised smile while he was tangled up and hanging upside down as he pleaded, "Can you help me out for a bit—please?"It was Dillon, who was supposed to be married to
Ari Chapter 21: The Bliss of Abyss
A few more glides through the air, and we were halfway from our destination when it started to rain hard, accompanied by a strong wind. We had to stop and seek shelter in a cave near the area to wait for the rain to stop because I cannot fly in such bad weather. Due to the sudden change in weather, we almost got blown away by the wind. We were soaking wet, but luckily there were dry small branches, leaves, and hard stones inside the cave, so Dillon lit up a bonfire to warm us up and dry ourselves. We didn't remove our clothes, and we just sat down in front of the fire to dry ourselves, patiently waiting for the rain to stop or lessen. The rain did weaken a little, but it was already too dark, and it would be hard for us to return to the tribe because the moon was still covered with thick clouds. It would be hard to see the way back since my eyes were not as sharp as a normal Lion beastman at night because I wasn't trained to function at night, all thanks to my overprotective father,
Ari Chapter 22: Proposal
My heart was pounding so hard, and I was panicking while trying to keep my mind focused on the situation. I tried to check his pulse, but my gloves were too thick to feel a weak pulse. I had to remove it despite trembling as my eyes started to tear up in fright and my head got dizzy while my stomach was turning upside-down. I instinctively yawned a few times, fighting my urge to throw up as I touched his neck, checking for a pulse but finding nothing. I had to perform a consecutive set of chest compressions followed by an artificial ventilation by blowing air into his lungs through his mouth simultaneously until he regained his heartbeat and breath. By that time, I had totally shook aside my fear of males for the time being, as the fright of seeing someone die in front of me overwhelmed me like hell, subconsciously directing me toward saving the patient. I was not sure if I was doing it correctly, but I was sure I followed the steps taught to me during a hands-on practice that I fai
Ari Chapter 23: Punishment or Blessing
I woke up and felt that I was lying on a cozy, warm bed similar to my bed. There was quite a commotion, but I have not opened my eyes just yet. My father seemed furious while reprimanding someone—I could hear his voice even when I was still half asleep. My father roared at the person he was yelling at, "What have you done to my daughter for her not to wake up until now?!" I could also sense Dillon's scent from a distance. I guessed he was the one being scolded, so I opened my eyes and attempted to stop my father, but strangely, I was too weak to sit up. "Father," I mumbled, trying to get my father's attention. My father suddenly turned his head toward me, trying to help me get up. He suddenly ordered Dillon, who was kneeling just in front of the door, "You! Call out the elders. Hurry up!" It seemed like he was not allowed to enter my room as expected. It was a relief that his wounds were already treated, though he looked messed up because of my father. Even so, he obediently fol
Ari Chapter 24: Dillon the Stalker
Father was busy preparing for winter, but he still managed to give me some time. Due to the incident, a tribunal trial was scheduled to clarify the issue in front of all the tribesmen. My father had no choice but to follow the rules of the tribe, though he was hesitant to let me face the crowd due to my special condition since there would be a huge number of males who would attend to witness the trial. A few days before the trial, the elder healer allowed Dillon to talk to me. "Ari..." he whispered as he approached me while blushing. He walked right into my room, so I asked, "It seemed like you got permission from my father, was it?" He nodded with a smile—the elder healer stayed by the door, but she looked away to make her presence less awkward. He sat on the chair beside my bed as I sat on the bedside table, facing one another. "It hasn't been long, but I miss you already," he whispered as he held my hand and kissed it sweetly. "I wish I could be with you like this forever."
Ari Chapter 25: Change of Alpha
Everything went smoothly after the trial, as Dillon officially became one of our family. He became my father's assistant instead, since I was no longer allowed to accompany my father on his tasks all throughout the winter. One night, as the winter ended, I suddenly felt dizzy for some reason, so I went to bed early. In my dream, there was a beautiful woman, but I couldn't see her face clearly as I called her subconsciously, "Mom!" "It's time to go," the woman said as she lifted her hand to reach me. "To where?" I asked curiously. She smiled as she pointed out an island right beyond our sight. It was such a beautiful island separated from the other continent and was only connected by a small path created by the ancient race after their continent was separated by the Queen Goddess Hera, according to elders. I could see a pillar at the center of the island going to the sky. Was it a path to Nirvana? I had no idea because my knowledge regarding the Immortals was limited. The elders
