In the White Tiger Tribe, the priest’s status was even higher than the chieftain’s.
The priest wasn’t just responsible for rituals and divinations or keeping the tribe’s ancient secrets; he was also the tribe’s sole healer. In a primitive society with almost no medical infrastructure, whether an injured beastman survived often depended entirely on the priest’s knowledge of medicine.
When the white tiger priest carried me back to his stone house, he carefully laid me down on a stone bed covered with animal pelts.
His piercing golden eyes fixed on me as he spoke gently, “Rest here for a moment. I’ll grab you an extra blanket.”
I nodded, watching as he rummaged through a wooden chest and pulled out a large, thick pelt.
But instead of covering me with it, he spread the blanket over the bed, layering it on top of the existing pelts.
After smoothing it out, he turned back to me, his gaze fingering on my exposed skin. “Your skin looks delicate. With this extra padding, you won’t feel the hardness of the stone
bed.”
I couldn’t help but be surprised. For someone as strong and imposing as the white tiger priest, his attention to detail was unexpected.
“Thank you,” I said. “By the way, what’s your name? I’m Lily.”
“My name is Kaelan,” he replied. “If you need anything, just let me know.”
I nodded again. “Got it. Thanks, Kaelan. Now I think I’ll get some sleep.”
Nicole and I had stumbled into this unrecorded, primitive tribe during a hiking trip in the mountains. By the time the beastmen from the White Tiger Tribe found us and brought us back to their village, we had already been hiking for nearly two hours.

I was completely drained.
Kaelan seemed to notice my exhaustion. As lay down, his deep voice softened. “I won’t
disturb you.
I’ll go
find you something to eat. What would you like for dinner?”
The thought of food in a primitive tribe sent a shiver through me. Quickly, I blurted out, “Some berries, please. And maybe some meat soup, but make sure the meat is cut into small pieces. I can’t chew big chunks.”
Beastmen could shift between their beast and human forms, and when in their beast forms, eating raw meat was completely normal for them.
In their human forms, however, they mostly cooked their food–boiling it into soups or roasting it over a fire.
The issue was that their sheer size made them cook everything in massive portions. The meat chunks were the size of my arm, and their bones were even longer than my forearm. For them, gnawing on these was effortless. For me? It was like trying to chew through a
tire.
In my past life, I couldn’t adjust to their food and had to survive on berries alone. That led to severe malnutrition, and during a summer rainstorm, I fell sick and nearly died.
It was Kaelan’s medical skills that saved me. He brewed a foul–smelling herbal concoction that tasted awful but brought my fever down within hours.
Kaelan stared at me for a moment, then nodded seriously. “Understood. Rest now.“”
“Okay,” I murmured, closing my eyes.
Exhausted from the day’s events, I quickly drifted off into a deep sleep.
When I woke up, the sky outside had already grown dark.
I sat up abruptly on the stone bed, startled by how much time had passed.
“Lily, you’re awake,” Kaelan’s deep voice rumbled from nearby. “You must be hungry. Come eat something.”
22:36 Fri, Jan 10
Rubbing my stomach, which was now uncomfortably empty, I got out of bed and walked over to the wooden table.
Two stone bowls were already set out. One was filled with steaming meat soup, and the other with a selection of unfamiliar berries.
“Did you eat already?” I asked as I sat down.
Kaelan nodded, his golden eyes locked onto my face. There was something. uncomfortably intense about his gaze–warm, almost scorching, like an unspoken hunger simmering beneath the surface.
“I’ve eaten. Don’t worry about me. Eat up,” he said, his voice low and steady.
Gripping the wooden spoon tightly, I tried to ignore the tingling sensation his down my spine. I knew then that Kaelan wasn’t going to let me off easily tonight.
eyes sent
I took a cautious sip of the soup.
To my surprise, Kaelan had gone above and beyond. The meat was cut into thin, tender
strips and cooked to perfection–it practically melted in my mouth.
Though the soup was simply seasoned with salt, it was rich and flavorful, the natural
taste of the meat shining through.
Before I knew it, I was halfway through the bowl.
But the portions were enormous, far more than I could handle. I set the spoon down feeling full.
“I can’t eat anymore,” I said, pushing the bowl away.
Kaelan’s gaze flicked to

he nodded, satisfaction gleaming in his eyes.
“I’ll clean up,” he said, gathering the bowls. “There’s a hot spring in the back of the house. You can use it to wash up.”

A hot spring?
I couldn’t hide my excitement.
Most beastmen were rough and unbothered by hygiene, often bathing in rivers or streams. But for someone like me, accustomed to modern comforts, the idea of bathing in a river was out of the question.
a
With a hot spring in Kaelan’s home, I wouldn’t have to worry about that anymore.
As soon as Kaelan left with the bowls, I followed the dim light toward the part of the house he mentioned.
Sure enough, warm steam rose from a natural pool of water, filling the air with a soothing
heat.
I wasted no time shedding my clothes and slipping into the water. The warmth enveloped me, easing the tension from my
muscles.
Just as I was beginning to relax, the faint glow of firelight entered the room.
Kaelan stepped in, holding a torch in one hand. He mounted it on the wall before turning toward me.
His golden eyes burned with an intensity that made my breath hitch as he began walking
toward me.
His towering frame loomed closer, his gaze hot enough to melt the water around me.
My body trembled involuntarily.
The werewolf from my past life was nowhere near Kaelan’s size or strength, and even then, I had barely survived the experience.
If Kaelan had his way with me, would I even make it out of this alive?
As my thoughts spiraled, Kaelan reached me, his arms wrapping around me with a possessive strength. His body heat radiated even hotter than the spring water.

I felt my legs go weak, my worries melting away as his steady heartbeat thudded against my back.

“Kaelan, I’m scared…”
I couldn’t help but tighten my grip on Kaelan’s arm, my voice trembling as I let my fear
show.
Kaelan froze for a moment, his golden eyes darkening as he leaned closer. “Don’t be afraid. I would never hurt you.”
Of course, I knew he wouldn’t hurt me.
In this world, females were considered incredibly precious, and no beastman in his right mind would harm one.
But when it came to matters of reproduction, things weren’t always so straightforward.
Take the werewolf from my past life, for example. After bringing me home, he was relentless in his attempts to ensure I bore his child. Every night was a grueling ordeal for me, leaving me utterly exhausted and feeling like I was hovering on the edge of death.
I was human, and he was a beastman several times my size and strength. How could I
possibly keep up?
It wasn’t until I proved my value to him that I was finally allowed some reprieve. Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t have been allowed to leave his den until I was pregnant.
“I know you won’t hurt me,” I whispered, my face heating with embarrassment. “But… you’re too big.”
Kaelan stood at least seven and a half feet tall, towering over me. Physically, we were

“I know you won’t hurt me,” I whispered, my face heating with embarrassment. “But… you’re too big.”
Kaelan stood at least seven and a half feet tall, towering over me. Physically, we were completely mismatched–it was like a life–sized doll being held by a giant.
I didn’t want to survive a second chance at life only to die from this.
Kaelan blinked, clearly taken aback.
But then his expression softened, and he leaned down to press a tender kiss to the top of my head. “Don’t worry. I have a special medicine. You won’t get hurt.”
I stared at him, surprised. “Really?”
He nodded firmly. “Of course. If you don’t believe me, we can try it, and you’ll see.”
I hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded in agreement. If I wanted to achieve my goals, I needed to stay on Kaelan’s good side. And besides, as the tribe’s priest, maybe he really did have some kind of miracle medicine.
To my surprise, Kaelan wasn’t lying.
The night I feared would be an unbearable ordeal turned out to be nothing like I expected. There was no pain–just a strange, unfamiliar feeling I didn’t know how to
process.
But Kaelan’s endurance? That was something else entirely.
By the end of it, I was so exhausted that I fell asleep in his arms.
When I woke up the next day, sunlight was already streaming through the windows.
“Lily, you’re awake. Are you feeling alright?” Kaelan’s deep voice rumbled as he sat beside me, holding a bowl of warm porridge.

I felt a twinge of embarrassment.
My body was so sore I couldn’t even muster the strength to get out of bed. In the end, I had no choice but to lean against the headboard and let Kaelan feed me.
His golden eyes stayed locked on me the entire time, filled with a tenderness that made my cheeks flush even more.
After breakfast, he carried me to the hot spring in his home for a soak.
“Lily, I need to patrol the mountains later this afternoon,” he said softly as he helped me into the warm water. “Stay here and rest. I’ll be back soon.”
I nodded weakly, too drained to argue even though I would’ve liked to join him. Today, I simply didn’t have the energy.
Once Kaelan left, I lay in bed, lost in thought about my past life.
Back then, Kaelan had been targeted by the Lion Tribe about six months later.

Önce Kaelan left, I lay in bed, lost in thought about my past life.
Back then, Kaelan had been targeted by the Lion Tribe about six months later.
It was during the dead of winter, and the chieftain had fallen gravely ill after catching a chill. As the tribe’s only healer, Kaelan had gone into the mountains to hunt a specific animal for its bones and fat, which he needed to make medicine for the chieftain.
That’s when the Lion Tribe found him.
A brutal battle followed. Kaelan returned to the village gravely injured, having killed over a dozen lion warriors. But without the medicine he’d bee hunting for, his wounds became infected. He succumbed to his injuries within a month.
Before he died, Kaelan had one final request; his trusted followers were to use his own tiger bones to make a healing potion for the chieftain. His sacrifice saved the chieftain’s life
but left the tribe in turmoil.
Without Kaelan, the aging chieftain’s health continued to decline, and he was forced to choose a new successor from among the tribe’s beastmen.
That’s when I seized the opportunity.
From behind the scenes, I guided the werewolf to rise through the ranks, helping him gain the respect of the other beastmen. With careful planning, I ensured his victories during the tribe’s conflicts with the Lion Tribe, solidifying his status as a hero.
By the time the chieftain passed, the werewolf was the obvious choice to take his place.

The other beastmen, impressed by his accomplishments, accepted him without protest.
And just like that, the werewolf became the new chieftain.
But this time, things would be different.
If Nicole thought she could rely on the werewolf to become chieftain again, she was
dreaming.
Yes, he was loyal to his mate, but his instincts to reproduce were even stronger.
In my past life, his mating drive was terrifying, almost unending. I couldn’t imagine how Nicole was handling him now.
But then again, if she wasn’t afraid of the serpent beastman, a werewolf probably wasn’t much of a challenge for her either.
Still, knowing the werewolf’s nature, the next time I saw Nicole, she’d probably already be pregnant.
