Chapter 3

Cindy looked into his loving eyes and said, "When do we leave my loving master? I am yours forever now."

He howled with delight and said, "Take with you only these things; a warm coat, hiking boots, some clothing suitable for wearing deep in the woods and a sleeping bag if you have one, if not a couple of blankets will do. You will need a cup for drinking and matches. Take nothing that is scented will be permitted. My den is located deep in the woods and I do not want man to find us."

She nodded in agreement and said, "Watch the door and driveway, and please why I gather these things. I would not want my useless husband to find you with me. He most likely would kill us both. He however does not deserve me he has lost that right. You are now my lover, my friend and my master, because you have shown me the light and giving me all I ever wanted."

When she finished packing, she stood there in the light of the room looking at her the man-beast. He must have stood six foot three. His face and arms resembled a human and the rest of him appeared to be a wolf like creature cover thick hair.

Cindy felt drawn to him from there first tryst in the woods, she was not sure, but not worried either. She knew there was something different about her, but never knew what until the man-best unlocked the deep animal desires within her. She did not know much about her past, but knew that somehow she was different then most human women.

She never questioned him about where they were going, as she now trusted him completely. She would follow him to the ends of the earth if she could always be at his side.

They left through the back door zigzagging as the entered the wood. The left no traces on the trail for man to follow. They traveled the rest of that night until the sun broke through the morning sky. Then she saw a cave nestled into the mountainside. She could see more creatures like him around it; some of them appeared to be women and others males.

The man-beast threw his head back and howled in greeting to the others. They in turn howled back and he moved toward the cave. As Cindy moved toward the cave, three man-beasts came toward her. Like her master, they had long dark hair, upper bodies that resembled men and furry cover muscular bodies. They looked at her with green-yellow eyes as if to exam her.

One of the man-beast came up to her and sniffed then howled and said, "Woman, why are you here?"

Before he could reply the second man-beast came up to her and sniffed and howled then said, "She is his bitch I can smell him on her."

The third man-beast bowed his head, looked at the ground, and uttered, "Master, how can I serve you."

The master man-beast said, "Show my bitch the den and where she sleeps. Then make her feel like she belongs because she will be the alpha female of this den from now on."

The three man-beasts bowed in submission. They seemed to sense that the master had found his mate. She would be one to carry on the bloodline and bear his children.

As Cindy entered the cave, she was amazed at how clean it was. The man-beast servant showed her around. On one side were mats of straw and some blankets. He told her that was the sleeping area for the clan. Then pointed to an area elevated and set back away from the main bedchamber. He then took her there and said, "This is where you and master will sleep."

He then went deeper into the cave their pathway lit by torches. Away from the entrance of the cave and well hidden was a large room. He told her this was the gathering area and it was here that the clan congregated to talk, eat and have fun. Campfires, cooking pots, surrounded the area. Sitting at the in clutches were females and children of all ages, all half human, half beast.

It was then that Cindy felt frightened. Would she have to prove her alpha female status and fight them or would they accept her.

The woman and children surrounded her and sniffed at her. Some growled as others howled a blood-curdling scream that made Cindy shiver.

Then one woman came forward, bowed her head in submission and said, "Welcome alpha female, how we can serve you?"

Cindy gasped at them in amazement, as know one ever treated her like that before. She did not really know what to do, but she nodded her head in recognition, and then passed out.

When she came too, and her eyes slowly focused, Cindy was lying on master's bed. He was standing over her looking worried and a woman was rubbing her brow with a damp cloth.

The man-beast then sat down, took her hand in his, and said, "Are you ok, my love. I hope this has not all overwhelmed you" Now rest my precious for a bit and I will awaken you when it time to eat. As tonight we throw a banquet in your honor to welcome you to the clan."

When Cindy awake, she tried to stand up and felt weak in the knees. It was then that the woman-beast attending her took hold of her and helped her to stand. She was beautiful and Cindy could not help but noticing the long blonde hair, blue eyes and huge breasts.

The woman-beast then lowered her eyes and uttered, "Do I offend you my mistress?"

Cindy then said, "You may stand up and look at me when we talk. You are not offending me I was just noticing how beautiful you are. My name is Cindy, and you will be permitted to call me that."

The woman-beast then said, "My name is Nadia. If I am permitted to talk mistress, I will tell you about our clan."

Cindy said, "Yes, please tell me about the clan."

The woman-beast then went on to tell her the legend of the man-beast clan. The clan started back in eighteen hundred twenty five. There were only the two man-beasts. Since they could find no woman-beast, the man-beasts decided to find some willing human women to be their bitches. The master beast then went to the village and over time found two women.

He let the other man-beast mate with one as he took the other to be his alpha female. Humans tired to destroy us many times. We found this cave deep in part of the forest that was thick and unexplored. The cave has been secluded for many years and as you seen, our numbers are growing. I am master's first wife and do not be alarmed, it is custom for the master to take many wives to ensure our clan continues to exist.

Cindy then said, "Wow that is some story. I am not sure when, but somewhere I have heard it before. You see I was raised in an orphanage and did not know anything about my parents."

The woman-beast grabbed her face in surprise and said, "Oh my god, I cannot believe what I am hearing. There is a story about a young female that was born and looked human rather then like the rest of us. Her mother took her to the village and abandoned her, because she feared that the clan would reject her. Maybe you are that girl."
