Every Beast Needs a Beauty

Fluttering her thick, exaggerated lashes, she gazed at him meaningfully while nibbling her lustful swollen red lips. 

"My body isn't as bad as your defective wife, you know... You can touch me anytime you want even while I'm carrying our baby. I won't treat you poorly like your useless wife, my dear darling. I'm better than that frigid pole," she said proudly with a wide grin.

Still seething in anger, Nuru growled and twitched uncontrollably. When he heard the woman's giggles and needless gloating, Nuru didn't look quite right, and on the hind side, he stared at her impatiently as if he were a king she must serve and pleasure.

"What you said is right. Why should I bother with that damn woman when I can satisfy myself without restraint." He grabbed her face and whispered dangerously in her ears, "I choose you over that damn bitch so shake your ass right until I'm satisfied. Turn around and spread your legs!"

"Wha—?" Yemane was taken aback and her lips quivered in shock, slowly parting to retort, "But dar-darling, aren't we finished? I just came—ah!" 

Alas, before she could say more, the man had already pulled her waist without a care. 

Wenshi squeezed her eyes shut, hands pressed against her ears as if that would drown out the noises. But it was futile. The walls of the cave did nothing to spare her from the sounds of betrayal and lust.

She couldn't take it anymore. Or else, she might lose it again and barge in to strike them. But if she faces Nuru in her current state, the one doomed to die is her.

She had to leave.

Now.

Away from this filth. Away from these disgusting people.

With trembling legs and a heart weighed down by despair, Wenshi turned away from the wretched scene, stepping aimlessly into the unknown where the wind would take her.

At present, beneath the ancient towering Shihuahuaco tree...

Wenshi wiped the corner of her cold, pallid lips, though the tears never ceased. The suffocating pain still was gripping her chest, as if unseen hands were squeezing the very life out of her heart. But her violent retching obviously subsided.

"Why?" she exhaustedly questioned, her voice hollow and fragile. "Why did you do this to me?"

As she forced the words out, her throat tightened in despair.

"How could you cheat on me just because I was pregnant and couldn't satisfy your so-called 'needs' as a man?" Her weary voice cracked with fury.

"You jerk! Nuru, your dirty asshole!" She shouted, with fists clenched at her sides. "It wasn't even for me that I entered the underground nest—I did it for the baby! Our baby!"

It was her first time becoming a mother and that, without the guidance of an elder, because she ran away from home just to be with him.

She had been careful and extra cautious, wanting to ensure a safe pregnancy. Had that been her crime? Choosing to protect their child over satiating his lust?!

She gave up her life as a flight beast and endured a life living in that cramped cave with him instead of flying freely! All for him, Wenshi had given him everything! 

Even though she had the right to take multiple mates, she had given herself wholly to him—a rare pledge from a Zulna to a Satyr. Unlike other female orcs who easily cast aside their partners, she had given him every bit of assurance that she would never abandon him. 

Yet, how ironic. In the end, it was she who had been discarded.

"I rejected every other beast who wanted me—just to put your mind at ease. I defied my elders to marry a flight beast so you would never feel inferior."

And how had he repaid her? With betrayal. With disgrace.

"I trusted you! So, how could you give up everything we had over your damn libido you damn bastard!"

Wenshi huffed. "What's so special about those Earthlings anyway, aside from their ability to conceive multiple times a year? I can also do that if I put my mind to it! But chose not because I would rather nourish a strong and healthy child instead of carrying a sickly litter of cubs of just any random man!"

"Besides..." her gaze fell to her own stomach as her vision blurred with unshed tears. "Wasn't I already carrying his child?"

A bitter laugh slipped from her lips. "What more does he want that I failed to give? Was he so desperate for sex that he abandoned his pregnant wife just to impregnate another?"

The betrayal cut deep, and the contempt inside her bottled up with so much unwillingness, that she couldn't stop asking what the hell happened!

But more than that—she grieved for the innocent life growing inside her.

"Oh, gods..." Wenshi sucked her breath. Her arms wrapped protectively around her belly, with the guilt twisting inside of her.

"I know! I know that I shouldn't be feeling this way. I shouldn't be crying. My baby doesn't deserve this." She sobbed and leaned against the Shihuahuaco tree, inhaling sharply as she struggled to compose herself.

With a trembling hand, she rubbed her stomach and whispered, "My lovely child, please forgive me for running away like this. Mama was hurt… lost… and couldn't think straight when I saw your father defile our home with another woman."

Her voice wavered, but she kept speaking as if trying to reassure both herself and the child she carried.

In Saturn, Zulnas were rare—precious entities who carried the lifeblood of their tribes. They were revered, pampered, and cherished above all else.

With Satyrs outnumbering them by a staggering degree, beastmen would do anything to please their mates. Some would even resort to desperate, unspeakable acts just to gain favor.

It was to such an extent, which is why, she couldn't get over the fact that she had been treated like a used rag no matter how reality slapped her with everything she had seen.

Yet again, despite her value, here she was. Wenshi had been cast aside by her own mate for a frail human girl she could literally snap in half with the sheer grip force of her razor-sharp claws.
