Rattling keys resounded followed by a couple of footsteps.
"How many this time?"
"Five, my king. Three females and two males."
Mew, king of the lions looked towards his younger brother's bed. "There's no other scent but his."
"The prince satisfied his lust in the other room."
The king of lion beastmen raised a brow. He doesn't think the word 'satisfied' fit the picture. His little brother fucks but not until exhausted or satisfied. He fucks until his playmates could not move anymore.
"Has the car been prepared?"
For a second the adjutant was not able to respond. Most probably because he did not expect the king to ask about the prince's transportation out of nowhere.
"Yes. Yes, king."
Walking towards his brother whom he's sure to be awake by now, Mew dismissed the adjutant.
"The sun is barely up, brother." Singto's low growl resounded.
If it was another person but him, they would have bowed right away. But not him. Not Singto's King.
"If I sent someone else to wake you up, heads would roll and it's too early for our maids to cleanup a bloody mess." He feigned calm.
The King of lions almost breathed a sigh of relief when Singto receded his bloodlust. This brother of his would be the death of him. If not in reality, then, figuratively.
"What time is it?"
"Quarter to seven."
"Hmm." He saw his brother leisurely get up from his bed. "That adjutant of yours needs more backbone."
"Everyone needs more backbone when it comes to you, Sing."
Shrugging in a robe, his brother covered his nakedness. "Not you, Mew. You're my king."
The older male could not help but shook his head in amusement. "You didn't usurp my right to the throne because you don't want it. We both know I'm not your king."
Cold shiver ran down his spine when his younger brother laughed. "Don't be like that, brother. You're the firstborn. Hence, the responsibility should be yours."
Mew sighed. None of his brothers like the thought of being King. Singto, his second brother liked his freedom as much as their third brother who wanted nothing to do with anything messy like plotting schemes.
"The only reason why our people are not raising arms against me is that you two have my back. We both know most of them want you on that seat."
"What they want is theirs. I'm no firstborn."
"You're the queen dowager's firstborn."
"That woman might be as sweet as honey towards her children but her greed knows no boundary. So, no thanks. I'd rather be her second born."
Mew sighed in exasperation. Everyone in their pride knew Singto is the queen dowager's firstborn. His younger brother simply didn't want the circumstance to question his throne. Nor does their third brother.
"I have an 8:30 class. Third brother should be in school now. He did volunteer to show new students around."
While this second brother of his is aloof, the third one is outgoing. It is almost uncanny how they could be twins when they are different from each other.
Well, not that different on some things.
"You should stop acting like you're below me, first brother. The pride is yours and I'm simply one of the royal princes who's loyal to you. No matter how many heads will roll, taking time to wake me up is not your obligation as a ruler."
Mew knows that. He has been king for two years now and yet, his inner beast instinctively submits itself to Singto. Everyone, including their pride members and other species act submissive to Singto.
Only his brother would not have any of it.
"I can't fight my instinct."
His younger brother sighed. "Fucking marry Gulf so your instinct would focus on protecting him."
The irritation on his brother's voice made him laugh. Shit. Why is he so darn lucky to have a couple of brothers like this?
In his head, he has pinched everyone's cute ears and tails.
Well, he'd rather be dead than actually act on his imagination. Not if he wants to keep his identity a secret.
Almost a month ago, Arthit, woke up in the body of Krist. A cat beastman. Well, he could not really say that the body he's in is not special since he can actually perform a full body shift which is unusual for beastmen. Only purebloods can shift from humans into their animal form.
More so when he realized that he is a white cat.
As someone new to this world, he still could not fully wrap his brain around the fact that men and women in this world have animal ears.
It's like stepping inside a dream!
At first, he did thought this was just a strange dream but after almost a month of living as Krist, he found himself accepting that this is his reality. He's Krist now and Arthit is gone forever.
"This will be your room." Gulf, his upperclassman gestured towards the clean bedroom.
Putting a smile on his face, he shook his head. "Thank you so much for showing me around. . umm. . "
The older student chuckled. "You can call me Gulf. Ai'Oon, right?"
Since he's used to his nickname, Krist went ahead and changed this body's name. "Erm. . yes."
"The chairman is going to have his opening message in 5 minutes at the coliseum. You know where it is right?" When Krist nodded his head, Gulf continued. "Please enter the left entrance gate and one of the committee members will guide you. The alphas will be separated from the omegas."
Again, he nodded his head.
Aside from having animal ears and tails, beastmen are also classified by ABO system. Betas and omegas can conceive when partnered to alphas but omegas can't partner with each other. Simply impossible. Alphas on the other hand can form an alliance with each other and even marry each other but their offsprings usually end up as betas.
The ABO population in percentage is 20,50,30 respectively. And Krist, the body Arthit has taken over is an omega. A pure-blooded cat type beastman that can conceive offspring.
Which scares the shit out of him.
Having white cat ears is cute. Heck, he looks adorable! But the idea of having a huge tummy with a litter of kittens, no fucking way!
"Most of your new classmates should be there by now. I'll see you there." As the upperclassman was about to close the door, he turned around and warned Krist. "Don't loiter anywhere that I haven't showed you. Alphas are not good with following the rules and you might bump into one of them which would be unpleasant for you."
Despite his questions, Krist nodded his head for the last time which earned him a smile from Gulf.
After putting his luggage near his footbed, a quick comb of his hair, and a couple of internal pep talk, Krist went on his way.
As a cat, his sense of direction is excellent. He is more than positive he's on the right track until he scented something dangerous.
His first instinct was to flee.
Second was to hide.
But as the scent became stronger, he chose the third instinct; be docile and stay put.
"Are you a freshman?" With his cat ears, Krist clearly heard the alpha ask.
"Ye-yes."
A warm hand ruffled his hair. It was. . .comfortable.
"No need to be scared. I'm one of the sophomore alphas guiding the freshies around. My name's Kongpob."
At the friendly tone, Krist looked up and saw the smiling face of the handsome alpha. Wait, something seems wrong.
"No. .. ears. . ."
Kongpob touched his human ears. "Oh this." He chuckled. "I don't need to shift halfway to heighten my senses. Also, some alpha adults preferred going out fully in human for to hide their beast as well."
Unconsciously, his tail and ears twitched in interest. The movement did not escape the alpha's sharp eyes whose gaze slightly darkened in predatory amusement.
"Can I have ears like that too?"
The nice alpha laughed. "If you'll study really hard, I'm sure you'll be able to hide your ears and tail as well."
Eyes glittering at the prospect, Krist promised he'll do his best and said his goodbye to the older male. A handful of steps later, his ears twitched.
As if he was hearing things, he heard Kongpob whisper; "See you soon, Oon."
Although he did turn around to ask how the alpha knew his nickname, he only saw falling leaves with no sign of Kongpob at all.
He must have imagined it.
I wonder what type of beast he is.
