new mission
Flora
flora squirmed in the beastman’s arms, but it was pointless. His grip was firm, and he carried her like she weighed nothing.
Flora
Okay, okay, think. Don’t panic. Maybe he’s taking me to get help…?
She glanced up at him. His expression was unreadable, but his sharp jawline and intense golden eyes made him look dangerous.
Flora
Or maybe he’s taking me to eat me.
system
Beastmen do not eat humans. Probably.
Flora
EXCUSE ME, WHAT DO YOU MEAN PROBABLY?!
??
The beastman’s ears twitched. He looked down, golden eyes locking onto hers.
Flora
flora’s lips parted.
Flora
WHAT?! I DIDN’T EVEN SAY ANYTHING OUT LOUD?!
Flora
She quickly shut her mouth, realizing he might have noticed her panicked breathing or small movements. She wasn’t exactly the best at hiding her emotions.
After what felt like forever, they emerged from the dense trees into a large open village.
Huts made of stone and wood were scattered around, and beastmen—big, muscular men with animal features—turned their heads to stare at her. Some had wolf ears, others had tails, and a few even had wings.
Flora
Okay. Okay. Maybe they’re friendly—

“How is she still alive?”

“She’s too weak. She won’t last.”

Warning! Beastmen value strength above all else. As a weak outsider, you are at risk of being abandoned… or claimed
Flora
CLAIMED?! SYSTEM, YOU WANNA ELABORATE?!
??
Before she could protest, the beastman carrying her strode into the biggest hut in the village and set her down—on a pile of soft fur.
??
He crossed his arms and studied her.
??
“You’re weak,” he said again, this time with more irritation.
Flora
flora clenched her jaw.
Flora
Listen here, you overgrown wolf—

“But you don’t smell bad.”
Flora
Before she could process that strange statement, the system chimed again.
system
Host has entered the Alpha’s den.
Flora
Her head snapped toward the beastman, realization hitting her like a truck.
Flora
…This guy is the ALPHA?!
wolfy
The beastman tilted his head. His sharp golden eyes glowed in the dim light.
Flora
flora's Brain completely short-circuited.
Flora
SYSTEM, EXPLAIN. RIGHT NOW.
