Mizuki Pov:
How long has it been since I entered this pact with Yuki? At first I merely found the girl interesting as she carried a lot potential. Add this with the fact that she was a vampire princess and you have the recipe for a person who will shake the world.
Before the pact I was unable to recognise her feelings. She would stare at me some times especially when we bathed together, but I always thought this was her curiosity at play. After all I am a divine beast who wouldn’t be filled with curiosity?
After the pact everything became clear. Every time she would see me naked I could feel strong emotions of lust and desire, yet she never acted upon them. Whenever she would drink my blood her body would heat up with anticipation. Did she think I wouldn’t notice her taking in my scent every time she fed. Seeing her like this was hilarious but cute. It didn’t take long for me to start teasing her. After all I did want to see how long it would take for her to act upon her desires. I was now her partner and someone who was connected to her surely she would try something soon. I don’t know why I am so excited over such a prospect.
My teasing over the months sometimes was subtle and sometimes blatantly obvious, yet she would never realise. There were many times were she almost gave into her desires, but every time she would stop herself. I felt disappointed. Maybe I’m the same as her or is it her emotions rubbing off on me? Whatever type of feeling this is, has began to grow more and more as the days pass by and I’m starting to worry.
Despite my worries my playful attitude and teasing became more and more obvious over the following months. Soon bathing time became one of my favourite times to mess with Yuki. The first time i bathed with Yuki in my beastkin form gave the poor girl a nosebleed. Sometimes she really does act like male. I have to admit though I did go over board when I was blatantly cleaning my breasts right next to her.
This feelings of lust and desire are building up inside me. Does this come from the connection through the pact or is it something I truly want myself? Over the many many years I have lived I have never been interested in romantic or sexual desires so why do I feel this way now?
A few more months had passed and our relationship had finally reached a turning point. Recently we finally found civilisation but before we could enter Yuki decided we needed to clean ourselves.
Reaching a lake nearby I could see that Yuki was really excited. Hygiene was really important to her and it was one of the things I liked about her. She would always make sure to be as clean as possible and she would try her best to smell good.
Arriving at the lake Yuki instantly ripper off her clothes and jumped into the lake creating a giant splash. Seeing her completely nude floating effortlessly in the water made her look like a mystical fairy. I’m sure men and women would kill to be in the position I’m in. Is this the feeling of pride? Why do I feel so proud of the fact that Yuki looks so good?
Distracting myself I started normally cleaning my body getting rid of all the grime, mud, blood and other impurities. Staying in this beastkin form can be really taxing. I enjoy the time I spend napping on Yuki’s head. When I was done cleaning myself I started to feel a strong gaze coming from the lake. Taking a peak I could see Yuki completely entranced while looking at me.
Fufufu seeing her looking at me with such an intense gaze makes me happy. Even though I don’t accept my feelings on the outside deep down I know how I feel. I’m truly attracted to Yuki. Why am I hiding from it? Is it because of my pride as a divine beast? No that shouldn’t be it. Yuki is a vampire princess who else could be more worthy? Then why do I like it when her gaze is on me. Why do I like it when she cuddles with me in her sleep? I even shamefully turn into a wolf cub just so she can cuddle with me more. What am I so afraid off?
Afraid...
So that’s how I feel. I have taken a big step in my life connecting myself to a girl I know nothing about and now I’m starting to develop feelings I have never had before. I squash my own pride for foolish things like cuddles in bed and napping on her head where did the mighty divine wolf go? Yuki is changing me and that’s what i’ve been afraid of deep down inside.
However the next question I have to ask myself is changing really that bad?
Do I want to continue on this journey with Yuki?
Of course I do!
We’ve barely started our adventure and I’m always looking forward and excited for what the next day will bring.
Am I willing to throw away my pride for foolish and trivial things just to get closer to her?
Of course I am.
If Yuki won’t make the first move then I will. I will take what I want because I am the divine beast who will stand on top of all! How can something like that embarrass me? We clearly have feelings for each other if she won’t act then I will!
Using my arm I perk up my breasts enhancing their size while also making them jiggle. Crossing my legs I leave a small gap just so she could barely see my honey pot. Her gaze was becoming more and more intense. Just seeing her mesmerised face made me want to excessively hug her. Arghh she so cute how can anyone look so adorable.
Shamefully I also lost myself looking at Yuki’s cute figure. Her breasts which were bigger than mine floating on the surface of the water. Her pale beautiful skin which was tinged red from embarrassment.
The lust and desire was now being amplified through our connection both ways. Before I could realise what was happening I see her wake up from her trance and stare straight into my eyes.
Damn I wasn’t careful enough how foolish. Yuki’s eyes were now wide open and her face turned bright red with embarrassment. I swear I could tears in the corner of her eyes. What have I done!
She then submerged herself in the water so she could hide from the embarrassment. I have to fix this.
It’s now or never.
Entering the water I make my way to where Yuki was last. When she comes up to breathe I’ll make my move. I’ve waited for this moment for months and months. There’s no backing down now.
Taking a deep breath I pounce on my prey.
Yuki Pov:
Laying down on the cold ground I’m still processing what just happened. To my side is Mizuki sleeping without a care in the world. Looking at her calm peaceful face I can’t help but stare.
Uwah I have to concentrate! Turning my attention to the events that just occurred I begin reading through them again. One by one.
Summarising my obvious findings first of all I was noticed by two gods! Not one but two! This means that gods exist. Loki and Fenrir if I believe correctly are from Norse mythology. Are there gods from other mythologies? Is there an almighty god like the one most people worshipped on earth? It’s a question I can’t answer so it’s pointless to dwell on it. I should probably ask Mizuki she must know a thing or two with her background.
Then there is the message from Loki and the fact that he saved me from Fenrir. I’m not sure how I feel about Loki. When he said he froze me up I clearly know what he is taking about. I could barely react to what Mizuki was doing to me in the heat of the moment. Everything felt so good that I just couldn’t move. Not to mention it was my first time doing anything sexual ever with another person, which meant I was super nervous and had no clue on what I was supposed to do. Well If there’s one good thing that came out of this whole situation it’s that I know that Loki is not an enemy as I am someone important to Mizuki, his granddaughter. However my gut feeling still tells me to be careful with him. Frankly I hope he just leaves me alone, however something tells me he’s just here to cause trouble.
If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
Finally there is the ability upgrade or unlock from Loki. The chance to steal or assimilate an ability when feeding. The probability of being successful depends on the purity of the blood being consumed.
How do I tell if the blood I’m drinking is pure? If I had to guess it would be by the taste and smell. Monster blood tastes and smells absolutely disgusting. When I drank it in the past I was literally forcing myself to drink it. The smell is pungent and sour and reminds me of rotting corpses. Just thinking about it makes me shiver in disgust. Mizuki’s blood must be super pure I mean her race literally has the name divine in it. Her blood tastes marvellous and the smell is amazing.
With only having tasted one persons blood I now have the incentive to feed off different people in the future, but how exactly should I go about doing it? Hopping through windows at night is how vampires feed in the stories or should I just be safe and take a gamble by buying a slave?
Without the ability to let me see other people’s skills or statues buying a slave with the purpose of trying to obtain a skill would be idiotic to say the least.
A tight squeeze from a shivering Mizuki distracted me from my thoughts. We’re both lying here naked and still wet from the lake water. Sitting up I use my inventory to retrieve three pieces of fur. One large and two smaller pieces. Using the larger piece like a fur blanket I wrap it around myself and Mizuki. I then continued to use the smaller pieces as a crappy towel and proceed to dry myself and Mizuki.
Now wrapped in a warm blanket and hugging Mizuki for warmth I decide to join her for a small nap.
----------------------------------------

----------------------------------------
Waking up I felt refreshed and ready to go. To my side the warm body of Mizuki had disappeared and instead there was a small cub snuggled up between the furry blankets and my warm breasts.
Slowly getting up I put the sleeping cub on my lap while I picked out my clothes from my inventory. Since I’m finally leaving the forest and going to be coming into contact with other people I decided to wear something different than the fur clothes I usually wear. Sticking my hand into the warped hole known as my inventory I pull out leathery pants made from a wyverns hide along with a top also made from the same material. The top was black and resembled a black hoodie from earth but with scaly pattern on the outside. The pants were also black and together with the top I gave off a rogue assassin like vibe. To top off the look I made sure my sword was tied securely to my hip. With my outfit done I gently held Mizuki with one arm and set off towards the city.
Exiting the forest once again the giant walls which were weathered down with time greeted me. With sun on its way down I quickened my pace towards the city gates. The closer and closer I got to the city the larger the shock on my face grew. Weren’t these walls too big? Like what the hell were they protecting the city from! Titans?
Slightly intimidated by the sheer size of the wall I eventually got the huge gate. The gate was what you would expect from a fantasy world. Giant double doors manned by dozens of guards ready for any situation.
Making my way forward I could see a 3 lines of people. One was obviously for carriages and those riding on horses. The next was for civilians which was also the shortest line. The last line was a line of adventurers. Men and women who were armed to the teeth. Surprisingly looking at this last line I couldn’t see a single solo adventurer. Every single person had their own groups or should I say parties.
Joining the line I could feel quite a few people staring at me. Not only was I by myself I also had this extremely high charm stat. Praying this would end sooner I patiently waited in line. It didn’t take long for my turn to come up.
Approaching the guard he was stunned by my appearance and then probably shocked that I was by myself.
“Identification please.” He repeated the same words for the thousandth time.
“I don’t have any. I just finished my secluded training in the forest.” I replied scratching the back of my head due to nervousness.
“Secluded training in the forest huh. You adventures get crazier and crazier by the year. One day you’ll run out of that luck you carry and it would be a shame if someone like you died. You should join the guards not only is it safe you also get a stable income and a strong man like will surely take care of you.” The guard spoke hitting on me and trying to reel me into joining army.
I would have gone with the I come from a small village backstory but the with the amount of travelling we did just to get to this city if I came with a background unrelated to combat there might have been a chance he wouldn’t have believed me. After all I have no idea how far the closest village is. Being here by myself wasn’t helping as I was clearly travelling close to the dangerous forest.
“Thank you for the kind offer, but I’m happy with my current job.”
Hearing him click his tongue he then calls for his buddy who lead me to a room with a crystal ball in the middle. This guard didn’t give a fuck about being caught staring. I could feel his gaze looking me up and down. As a former guy I understand why males check out females but at least make it less obvious. I now also understand how disgusting it when guys look at your body with so much lust.
“Place your hand on the crystal. If you have any criminal records the crystal will shine red and you will be arrested immediately. If it shines green your good to go.”
Standing as far as I could from the perverted guard I put my hand in the crystal ball and watched it shine a lime green colour.
“Are we done?” I couldn’t help but talk in a cold tone. I was disgusted with this guard if this was earth I’d surely report the bastard.
“Your magical beast will be your responsibility. Since it’s small you won’t need to go through any other checks but when it gets larger make sure you put a collar on the thing.” The perverted guard spoke like he was reading off a script and his gaze never left my body.
Fed up of his crap I released some killing intent. Not only was he talking about Mizuki like she was a piece of meat he didn’t even attempt to hide the fact that he was looking at me with eyes filled with lust. Feeling my killing intent the perverted guard had realised his mistake and soon the room we were in began to smell of urine. The guard was literally shaking in his boots terrified.
“I was being merciful by trying not to make a scene, but your gaze is pissing me off. Look at me one more time with those filthy eyes and I’ll make sure to rip them out and give them a good clean.” My voice was cold and chilling to the point where I had even surprised myself. The guard kneeling on the floor nodded like dog.
Walking out of the building I realised I didn’t pay any tax like they would in novels. I also didn’t get any temporary ID. Walking back into that building would just be embarrassing and I’d probably end up killing the guy or make him hate me even more. I’m sure that perverted guard wouldn’t do anything by himself, but this would be a perfect chance for him to get back at me with all guards by his side.
Heading towards another guard I politely asked if I needed to pay any tax and luckily I found out that I did. Not having any money I asked the guard if I could pay in monster materials in which he agreed. Lead into another building I took out some useless magic crystals making it look like I pulled them out of my pockets. The magic crystals were from low level beasts like raptors and boars which I had fought before. The guard was shocked to see numerous crystals and immediately grabbed the shiniest crystal He could see. Looking at how excited he was I couldn’t help but feel like I was getting scammed. Since the crystals were useless to me as I had better ones and the fact that I wanted to leave this place as soon as possible I let him take the crystal. In return he gave me me a signed piece of paper which acted like a receipt. He then ordered me to make sure that I got an ID the next time I used any of the gates before running away like a madman.
Leaving the building I finally made my way towards the city. Mizuki who was forcefully woken up with all the commotion leapt onto my head and proudly sat on her throne made of blond hair.
< Yuki why did you scare that human into such a pitiful state? >
“Wh-what? How are you talking in my head.” I was quite alarmed that Mizuki just spoke to me telepathically and completely ignored her question.
< A talking magical beast will definitely bring you problems it’s better if this one talks like this when in the company of others >
“Why didn’t you do this before?” I asked confused.
< There was no need to. I enjoy talking to you normally. You should also keep your voice down or talk back like this or people will think your crazy talking to yourself. > She said with cute chuckle.
Looking around I could see a few people looking at me with gazes filled with pity. Uwah people are so quick to judge.
“Mizuki how do I talk to you with telepathy?” I whispered completely embarrassed. The pitiful gazes only increased but that couldn’t be helped right now.
Not hearing a reply I pulled the cub down so she was eye level. What I saw was that she was wearing the evilest of all her grins. I started to get butterfly’s in my stomach and knew she wouldn’t tell me. Watching me act like a crazy woman by talking to my magical beast would be amusing to her after all and her plan was working.
< My dear Yuki everything comes for price. Are you willing to pay. > Her voice was seductive and gave me goosebumps aren’t you enjoying this too much?
“How can you be so mean!” I said shaking the cub completely forgetting about the small crowd that had gathered.
“What a poor child her beauty cant be rivalled but it looks like she not completely with us.”
“Such a shame. She’s probably been abandoned by her family forced to live such a dangerous life.”
Hearing the conversation between two of the older ladies I couldn’t help but curse this mischievous wolf who couldn’t stop laughing.
Quickly continuing further into the city I decide that I need to head to the adventurers guild. I have to sell some materials so we can afford a place stay for the night.
