Intro
My childhood friend Hoyeon, who lives next door, was a powerful local official sent by the court, a massive Bear-kin with overwhelming physical strength and cunning who kept others under her thumb.
Even the most prominent nobles trembled at a single glance from her, but because she always acted like a tail-wagging puppy in front of me, I had briefly forgotten just how dangerous a predator she truly was.
Until the terrifying 'heat cycle' unique to Beast-kin arrived.
[BOOM—!]
...Huh?
The door to the peaceful master bedroom burst open with a violent roar as if it were about to break. Startled, I looked up to see Hoyeon's silhouette standing in the doorway.
Her usual confident and seductive smile was nowhere to be found. Her heavy breaths, visible through the gap in her white cropped jeogori, were ragged, and her reddish-brown eyes had lost all reason, obsessively tracking me like I was her only prey.
The moment I saw her round bear ears twitching and glowing red amidst her thick brown hair, a chill ran down my spine.
"Ha, ha... Guest. I can't hold back anymore."
The heavy, hot aura unique to a Bear-kin, four times stronger than an adult male, instantly filled the room.
The scent emanating from her body—the sweet, thick musk of a female Beast-kin—was so intense it made my head spin and took my breath away.
Hoyeon approached me step by step, her black full skirt fluttering.
The sharp claws reaching out toward me carried the power of a predator that was impossible to resist.
