Perla had always felt a longing for adventure, stifled by the rules of her strict upbringing and surrounded by her older brothers free to do as they wanted. She longed to carve her own path, to seek out excitement and perhaps even a little romance along the way. One day, while escaping yet another tedious piano class, she stumbled into the hollow of a massive tree. At its base, a mesmerizing green light beckoned her, and before she knew it, she was transported to a bizarre forest teeming with colossal, long-extinct creatures and menacing carnivorous plants. 

This was the realm of Beastkin, where men could transform into mighty beasts. Here, the constant threat of war had led to a peculiar imbalance, with most females giving birth to male Beastkin, resulting in a dire shortage of women. The land was a battleground, filled with mercenaries and adventurers seeking glory. While the males formed companies to embark on quests, their females stayed behind, living a life of comfort. But not Perla—she was determined to break free from the mold, to grow stronger, and to join her new love interests on exhilarating escapades.

I woke up next to my Fluffy, his tail curled around me and his arm draped over my waist. A wave of contentment washed over me as I gazed at his stunning face; he looked almost unreal with his snow-white hair and those adorable fox ears perched on his head. His long, white eyelashes fanned out against his cheekbones, a soft blush coloring his cheeks, and a gentle smile gracing his lips. I gently brushed some hair away from his face, and he let out a blissful sigh. My eyes fell on the little paw print on his neck, surprisingly healed despite my earlier roughness. Joy bubbled up inside me as I reached out to trace my finger over his new marking. We had traveled all day and part of the night, covered in scent-blocking spray. Milo had used a blanket to tie me to him so I could rest while he ran. Apparently, male beastkin don't need as much rest as human women do... Actually, I guess I'm not human anymore, which is so strange.
