Ari woke up to find herself in the body of a newborn female beast cub, her mind still reeling from the shock of her sudden rebirth. The last thing she remembered before her new life began was the chaos of hijackers on her plane, followed by the devastating crash that claimed the lives of all the passengers, including her own.

As she struggled to come to terms with her new reality, Ari was overwhelmed with fear and uncertainty. She had always suffered from androphobia, an intense fear of men, and despite years of psychiatric treatment and medication, she had never been able to fully overcome her condition. Even in her previous life, she had struggled to make intimate contact with her own family.

As she looked around at the unfamiliar world she now found herself in, Ari couldn't help but wonder if she would be able to survive in this strange new place. Despite her condition, she was determined to find a way to adapt and overcome her fears.

Ari: Daughter of the Queen Goddess

I woke up and felt that I was lying on a cozy and warm bed similar to my bed. There was quite a commotion, but I have not opened my eyes just yet. My father seemed furious while reprimanding someone—I can hear his voice even when I was still half asleep. 


My father roared at the person he was yelling at, “What have you done to my daughter for her not to wake up until now?!” 


I could also sense Dillon's scent at a distance. I guessed he was the one being scolded so I opened my eyes and attempted to stop my father, but strangely, I was too weak to sit up. 


“F-Father...,” I mumbled, trying to get my father's attention. 


My father suddenly turned his head to me trying to help me get up. 


He suddenly ordered Dillon, who was kneeling just in front of the door, “You! Call out the elders. Hurry up!” 


It seemed like he was not allowed to enter my room as expected.
