Ari (Child of the Beastman Goddess)

What were the odds of meeting people from our past life in our current life?

I took a deep breath and asked consecutively, “Why and how did you reborn in this world? Does that mean you died too? How? I mean, why? Sorry, I’m so confused. What about Tory? She will be extremely sad, I was already… and so was you?”

My tears streamed down in confusion and worry.

He panicked and tried to wipe my tears and explained what he remembered, “We secretly followed you on your trip because Tory kept telling me that she felt uneasy upon learning you want to travel alone. I initially scolded her because she was being overprotective on you and it was kind of overboard. I mean, you were already an adult in the first place, but she insisted that she felt something bad would happen. We ended up booking the same flight you had and sat at a distance without your knowledge.”

I was utterly shocked knowing they were on the same plane and mumbled, “I couldn’t remember much of what happened.”

He smiled bitterly and said, “You were taking your nap when the hijackers caused chaos on the plane. They said there was a bomb and demanded us to surrender our money and phones. They searched all our luggage and you were awakened by one of them but you suddenly fainted. We wanted to run to you but the man in front of us didn’t put down his gun against us. I heard him talking to a person on the phone-demanding for money or the plane will crash on their tower. They seem to have a grudge over the man on the phone.

“The person on the phone thought it was just a prank then hung up. They got irritated and killed the pilot and wore their parachutes to escape, but some men stopped them, yelling ‘we will die together’. They accidentally triggered the bomb so Tora and I ran into you while you were unconscious on the floor tried to cover you. I didn’t know we would all die that day.”

I was speechless while listening to his words as I trembled in shock.

“B-But if you’re here, where’s Tory?”

He smiled and answered, “Tora and Tory are the same. I’m sure she is.”

I jolted and asked, “But how can you remember everything, but not her?”

“I initially didn’t remember and woke up believing this was my original world. But I suddenly remembered when I hit my head after I fell on the cliff. I wanted to tell it to Tory, but I lost my ability to communicate due to my head injury,” he explained.

My jaw dropped learning what happened. I was trembling and felt like it was my fault that they suffered due to my impulsiveness that day.

He hugged me to comfort me while whispering, “My sister loves you so much and felt your connection with one another even without remembering the past. I didn’t recognize you at first, but I felt some sense of familiarity so I trusted my sister’s instinct and went with her to join your group. I’m so glad we did.”

My grief and guilt intensified knowing that everything was my fault, but I suddenly felt the three males on the door so I blocked it with the cabinets and table using my power as I pulled away from Macan forcefully using my power.

“My dear… Is everything alright?” Dylan asked with a worried tone while knocking on the door.

“Hic! Y-yes, please don’t worry too much,” I responded in a trembling voice as I turned around to face the door.

Macan suddenly grabbed my waist from behind, pulling me near him, wrapped his arms around and whispered to my ears, “A-Ahri, your scent is driving me crazy.”

I felt the steam of his breath and felt my heart skip a beat.

“S-Should we continue our conversation elsewhere?”

“I had a crush on you since the day Tory introduced you to me. I was just being cautious not to trigger your condition so I had to keep my distance. Tory knew that I had a crush on you so she tried to match us, but she failed even before she started. I’ve been a coward because I knew you would just reject me due to your condition,” he babbled without letting me go.

I tried to pull away, but his grip was too strong. I might hurt him if I force my way.

“How about now?” I asked nonchalantly.

“You’re torturing me, Ahri. I’m crazy in love with you,” he answered, then started to lick and kiss my ears causing me to moan.

“Mac… Please try to calm down.”

He suddenly bit his lips, then let go of me before whispering “S-Sorry… I don’t know what to do.”

His lips were already bleeding because of his sharp fangs so I panicked and cleared the doorway and unlocked it while pulling him outside.

My three male guardians were still outside, furious but couldn’t utter a word.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Dylan suddenly released his power in my room and said, “That was reckless my dear! You knew your scent could drive anyone crazy and you didn’t let me clean your room before inviting anyone in.”

“S-Sorry. I totally forgot because there was something I needed to know about Mac-Macan,” I explained.

I suddenly saw Tora and my brother walking towards us so I ran to Tora to hug her.

“Tora!” I cried while thinking about the possibility that she was Tory.

“What’s wrong Ari? Hmm? Wait… Brother? What happened to your lips?” she asked consecutively, hugging me tightly, trying to console me while looking at her brother.

“I need to talk to all of you, especially you Tora. There is something you need to know,” I said without pulling away from her embrace.

Everyone was baffled, but they all agreed. Dylan had my room cleaned and let his people bring some snacks we could share.

I explained everything to everyone except the part that Macan confessed to me. They were all shocked and confused, especially Tora. I can’t blame them, it was a little too much for it to be just a coincidence.

“I still can’t believe it, Brother. Was it true? Why can’t I remember?” Tora asked due to confusion.

Macan replied while stroking her head, “It is better this way, Tora. You’ll be even more confused if you can remember what Ahri and I can remember.”
