Congratulations Beta female, you have been paired with your first mate.
You have unlocked the dimensional space ability, now inside your necklace you will be able to store objects or food without damage or deterioration due to the passage of time.
I noticed the status message of the system, it filled me with emotion to know that now I had a dimensional space in my necklace. -I close the status messages.
After the night of pairing, I awoke to the soft glow of morning filtering through the cabin window. My entire body seemed to remember the intensity of the night before, every muscle protesting with pain, but a sense of happiness and wonder hung in the air.
As I stretched and came back to reality, my mind remembered something super important and that all the loving fans of this beast world wanted to have their mate's conjugal mark, according to the traditions of this world, should have appeared on my body.
My curious eyes went to my chest, looking for that special sign that symbolized that contract of body and souls that made the beasts in this world. However, I found nothing there. A little worried, I ran my fingers across my belly, searching for the mark that would seal our union. But again, it was not there.
Intrigued and a little disappointed, I examined my legs and arms in the hope of finding the long-awaited proof of our union. However, there was no trace of the marriage mark anywhere on my visible body.
A sigh escaped my lips, tinged with sadness. - "Where was that mark that was supposed to appear?"-I plunged into my thoughts, considering the possibility that the sign was in a less obvious place, perhaps in a corner of my body that I could not see with the naked eye.
With a touch of nervousness, I decided to explore beyond the obvious. I walked over to stored water pots and looked at my reflection in the water, searching for any hint of the mark in less visible places. - "Where the hell is my conjugal mark, I chided myself," - Lalabel returned back to her room.
As I was lost in my thoughts about the location of the conjugal mark.
As I looked up, I saw Noir entering the room with a breakfast tray in his hands and a charming smile on his face.
-Noir, good morning," I said with a smile, trying to hide my surprise. But instead of returning my greeting, his eyes met mine and followed my gaze. His expression changed subtly, as if he had discovered something unexpected.
My hands instinctively went to my mouth to cover the surprise I felt. My eyes focused on Noir's left shoulder, and there it was:- The conjugal mark that should have been on my body.
Shock came over me, and my thoughts plunged into a mixture of confusion and amazement. -How is this possible, I silently asked myself. It was a role reversal, as normally it was the male who left his mark on his partner, but this time, it was me who had marked him.
Noir noticed my reaction and looked down, as if realizing the revelation that had just occurred. An awkward pause filled the room before he finally broke the silence with a nervous laugh.
—Seems we've reversed tradition, Noir commented, holding up the breakfast tray. -I guess our bond is unique.
My mind was still spinning trying to comprehend the situation, but a chuckle escaped my lips. The irony of the moment took over, but so did a sense of complicity and shared love. Somehow, our story had taken an unexpected turn, but that only made it more memorable and unique.
After breakfast, together with Yang, Teru and my partner Noir who carries me gently on his arm, we left the cabin towards the Orus house, maybe he had an explanation.
When we arrived in front of the tree where the Orus House is, Noir helped me up to the tree house, showing his affection and concern for me.
Orus' gaze widened in surprise when he saw the conjugal mark of a panther on Noir's shoulder. It had been years since he had been near a female of this special lineage as are the females and the alphas and betas. -At that moment Orus looked at lalabel. - You are a Beta female. They then entered Orus' house and took a seat on some cut tree trunks.
Orus, began to explain that alpha and beta females were of a special lineage and the only ones with which they could transform into a beast. And they are also capable of marking their males. With clear differences between the two, the Alpha female is dominant and does not allow herself to be marked by any of her mates. While the Beta female will be marked by the male she loves the most.
- Yang, Teru, Orus present in the house, think of the great honor that male will have when his conjugal mark is on the breast of a Beta female. -That's all I know about alpha and beta females. -Noir felt proud to have received the conjugal mark from lalabel, it was the best gift he could have.
After some thought Orus said, "Maybe the old healer Lao from the peacock village knows something more.
At that moment two notices appeared from the system....
