Chapter 8 The two beasts

The next morning came and the room was shrouded in silence except for the soft breathing of those in it. With Sydney on the stone bed wrapped in fluffy animal skins, she turned a bit and suddenly her eyes snapped open.

She was an early riser and after a good sleep and full stomach, she slept off like a baby. Stretching, she sat up and yawned "..its already morning?!" she murmured softly waking the two beasts. Caden woke up, he had transformed into his beast form along with Shawn and they spent the night in her room.

Sydney heard silent shuffles and turned to look where they are coming from and before her stood one eagle, fifty times bigger than the normal ones she was used to seeing, his white and black feathers were wrapped around his fine body and his sharp eyes stalked on her. As if that wasn't enough, a huge wolf that was as tall as her also stood up and ruffled out it's fur and also looked at her with gleaming eyes.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!!!" she let out a shriek startling the two beasts as they looked around to see if there was a threat to scare their female!

Sydney's eyes were wide and she was hyperventilating at the moment. Seeing her state, Caden shifted to his human form and went to scoop Sydney into his hold. "Hey, hey.... calm down...calm down ....we are here!!!!" Rocking her back and forth, he managed to calm her down after a while. Poor Shawn had forgotten to wrap his animal skin skirt and he was squatting just before her epgs as he gently rubbed her arm to calm her too.

After gathering her bearings, she looked at the broad chest and a soft blush spread all over her cheeks. This was Caden and Shawn...she recalled that they were beastmen and those were their forms but because they were still unfamiliar to her, she only acted on her instincts. But being in such a protective hold, it was the first time in a man's arm even at this age! It felt so nice!!!

"Are you okay?" Shawn asked with a worry laced faced drawing Sydney's attention to him. She looked down to the blind guy and instead of his face, what she first saw was his little brother standing staright and proud as if announcing his presence to her. He was just as huge as his own frame and as if that wasn't enough, she felt that where she was seated was a little unusual. Something was poking at her. She wanted to cry!

Was this the famous morning wood?!!! If so, what she saw and felt was enough to compensate her 25 years of inexperience. "I'm fine now!" she squeaked softly as she got out of Caden's hold.

Freeing her, he looked at her with a frown as she avoided looking at both him and Shawn. " Did you have a bad dream?" he asked hoping to get an explanation for her scream.

Well, you guys were in your beast forms and I was surprised. I didn't mean to scream like that ....I'm sorry. And could you please wear something both of you!" she spoke in a small voice but both males heard her loud and clear.

Looking down at himself, Caden rushed and put his animal skin skirt on with an equally flushed face while poor Shawn used his hand to cover that part and feel around for his skirt as well. What the hell was he doing?!!! He had swore to only parade himself naked before his mate, not that he didn't want to do it for Sydney but he was sure she didn't want to see it. Clumsy wrapping his skirt too, he looked back at her and she was watching both of them silently.

I'll go get you water!" Shawn wanted to escape but Sydney saw right through him. Let's go together! "We can wash up and plan for today's schedule." she said.

What's 'schedule?'!!" Caden asked and Shawn also tilted his head. The word was unfamiliar to both of them.

Leaving the room, she explained what it meant and both males nodded in understanding. They reached a small hot spring with warm water. Sydney delightedly walked over and touched through the water, Caden and Shawn watched her knowing the water wasn't hot enough to hurt her. They watched as she washed her face, flipping her hair out of her face and gently wetting her hair, she wrapped it into a high bun leaving her neck bare.

While it was a usual routine for her, the men were in a daze watching her. Most males being early risers were surprised to see a female up so early and the way she was washing up ..it was so enthralling that they stopped in their tracks and watched her. Her neck slender and skin obviously soft and smooth, her hair, red that it'd draw anyone's attention her way and then her soft features, big green eyes and a small appropriate nose along with soft pink lips...she was the right definition of goddess!

Rumors had been circulating in the city about the female sent from the sky and her beauty had been praised to our beat that of all females on this planet. The single males were already in love just listening to talks about her but they didn't expect to see her with their own eyes. She was far too beautiful from what was spoke of her ...she was heaven! It had come down to the beast world.

By the time Sydney was done with washing her face, a group of around eighty beastmen were frozen in their spots eyes in her like predators. But they weren't close since there were two four rank beastmen with the female and one being the eagle prince himself. That was a cue to keep their distance!

Why are you guy just standing there...come and wash up! We have alot of things to do today!!" Sydney said enthusiastically and both males though not necessary, went and washed their faces just like she did.
