Ch. 2 Reborn as a Wolf…

What I saw was the scariest and at the same time happiest smiles I had ever seen on the face of my wolf headed father as he picked me up. He had black and white fur similar to an Alaskan Malamute.

Dad: “Look dear we finally have a son, and he has pure black fur so he must be special since he isn’t quite the same coloring as us.” He said as he wrapped me in a blanket and handed me to my mother.

I squeaked a little since I tried crying but since I’m now an animal all that came out were some squeaks. As I looked at my mom I saw a gray wolf who was wearing what I guessed was a medical dress that covered but outlined her two big breasts. The goddess of chaotic good was right when she said they were very similar to humans since she only had two instead of the normal six or eight.

Mom: “Well aren’t you lively my little one, I bet you’re hungry so let’s feed you some of momma’s milk.” As she said this she revealed one of her breasts and drew my mouth to her nipple.

My instincts take over and I start drinking from the nipple and delicious milk comes out. As I continue to suckle on the human-like breast I slowly drifted to sleep.

Dad: “What do you want to name him?”

Mom: “How about Cameron after my great grandfather the last hero of our families? Oh look he smiled and wagged his tail at that name, I guess he likes it. Cameron Shadowfur it is then.”

I’m not sure what really happened for the next few days since I was running almost entirely on instinct since I’m now a beast person. The next thing I remember was when I got to meet the rest of my family, which consisted of my three older sisters.

Mom: “Cameron, it’s time for you to meet your sisters. Now girls I’m going to lay him on the bed so you can see him, but please be careful with him. Now Cameron, these are your sisters” as she said this she motioned to the three girls who had heads that were humanized versions of a wolf’s head and face. “The two older girls are the twins Jane and June.” They were both about 4 ft tall and had white going down from their chins to their feet on their front sides. The only way to tell them apart was that Jane was black from all along her back and upper face, while June had gray fur similar to our mother where Jane had her black fur.

Jane & June: “Hello little brother, we’re your great older sisters and we turned 2 earlier this year.” They both looked kind of cute in their green and blue dresses with a pink ribbon on opposite ears.

Mom: “Now this one” as she said this she lifted the other girl onto the bed who was about 2 ft. 6 in. and was wearing a small pink dress “is Lily who turned 1 this year.”

Lily was covered in gray fur just like our mother and looked like a cute young girl. She slowly crawled on the bed towards me and when she got close enough she laid next to me and hugged me close her. As she did so she looked and me and had a big smile which looked a little predatory on the small wolf girl, as compared to a dog smiling.

Lily: “Yaaay, now I get to be a big sister toooo my cute widdle bruther.”

With that statement and getting to have siblings finally, since I was an only child in my previous life, I couldn’t stop my little tail from wagging and licking my sister on her snout and smiling myself. This caused the twins and my mother to giggle, while Lily’s cheeks gained a red tint. ‘Holy crap, I can’t believe beast people can blush’ I thought to myself as I saw the scene.

Mom: “I guess he likes you Lily” my mother said with a heartwarming smile.

Jane & June: “We didn’t know you had a brother complex Lily” the twins said teasingly.

Lily: “It, it’s not like that you two! I was just happy since I get to be a big sister now.” Lily looked quite flustered and glared at the twins.

Mom: “Okay now that’s enough girls, it’s time for your brother to eat and sleep so you need to get ready for bed too.” My mother stated as she lifted me up to start getting ready to breastfeed me.

Sisters: “Yes mom.” They all said as they hurried out of the room with June staying behind as she asked our mother a question. “Mom when can Cameron sleep together with us?”

Mom: “In a few weeks June, now go get ready for bed. Your father and I will be in soon to tuck you three in.”

As my mother started to breast feed me instinct took over and I soon felt myself losing consciousness again.

By the time I was a month old I was 1 ft 6 in tall and was starting to learn to walk. Fortunately beast people walked on two legs like all of the other sentient species on this world. I also found out that I couldn’t understand anybody except my family yet. At first I had thought I could understand them because I was reincarnated, but whenever I heard my parents talking with some friends who visit to see me I couldn’t understand them even though they were wolf beast-men too. Whenever I tried to talk all that would come out were squeaks, yips, and whines for some reason. Other than growing some more and playing with my sisters, life was fairly uneventful for a while.

When I turned 4 months old I was 2 ft tall and that morning my parents told me it was a special day for me since we were going to town to get me registered as a citizen. The reason 4 months was so special was because it had something about me being able to handle reading some book which was confusing to me, but I just accepted it. Oh and did I mention that the years here are 16 months long with each month still about 30 days long. Back to my first trip to town, sorry even though I’m reincarnated I still have a bit of ADD. After breakfast I changed into my nicest baggy shirt and made sure my pants wouldn’t fall off before the family left to go to the city we lived on the outskirts of.

I have never been very far from our small cottage near the surrounding forest since it would be dangerous for a young beast-man like me. We lived near the forest since my parents were hunters and advanced scouts for the city. We walked while all of us held hands, with me and June holding hands with our father and Jane and Lily holding our mother’s hands. Lily and I were between our parents and were holding each other’s hands. We followed a dirt road through the small outpost of cottages and continued on for about 2 miles until we were in sight of the stone wall that surrounded the city. I didn’t know much about the geography of this world yet, just general size of it, and was amazed that the city we lived near was this well protected. My sister were the first to see me staring at the walls and we walked to the nearest gate and giggled at my face of amazement. This caught the attention of my father who was holding my hand and he looked down and smiled at me.

Dad: “Hey Cameron, I bet you didn’t know we lived near the capital of the Beastman Kingdom. This is the city of Canavar the home to the king of all Beastmen.”

As we approached the entrance gate we were stopped by two guards who were a dog-morph wielding a spear and a minotaur holding a massive battle-axe that seemed just the right size when he held it. When we stopped at the gates the guards said something I couldn’t understand, and I noticed that Lily was hiding behind my mother’s legs. I was not as scared of the rather intimidating minotaur since I liked playing RPGs taking place in fantasy worlds and was excited as hell to see what I hoped was a friendly one in person. He saw that both Lily and I had our eyes on him and he bent his legs to get lower to the ground where he set down the axe, smiled, and did a small wave at us. I returned the wave and Lily waved and stopped hiding behind our mother. My parents and the guards laughed as we entered the city and we passed by the smiling guards who waved back at us since I waved goodbye to them.

Pretty soon we were at a building that had a sign with a sword crossed with a staff in front of a shield. The building resembled a pub with lots of tough looking Beastmen and other demihumans sitting at tables talking in strange languages. The far wall of the building had some women behind a counter next to a massive board that had lots of pieces of paper on it. When we got to the counter my father talked to the female worker in an unknown language after which the receptionist looked at me and smiled. She went to a back room and quickly came back with a strange book and handed it to me. The book looked very old and very expensive since it had a thin tablet of gold on top of the old leather cover. The tablet had strange runes that I had never seen before. My father told me to open up the book to any page and start looking at the letters. When I looked up to listen to my dad I saw that everyone in the building was looking at me with what I assumed were warm smiles. In my old world this scene would be downright terrifying and make you realize that you were about to be ripped to shreds and eaten, but since I was a beast as well it seemed they were happy with what they were about to see. I opened up the book in the middle, since for some reason it didn’t really want to open to the front. On the page were more of the runes and symbols that were on the front of the book. As I started to look at the symbols as if I was reading, since my parents had taught me that we read left to right and what I was supposed to do, the letters started to glow with golden light.

Dad: “Keep reading Cameron, don’t worry about the glow” my father told me in a comforting voice.

Had I not had some memories of my past life and personality I would have gotten startled by the glowing letters, but since I had those I thought this was cool since this is my first time seeing what I think is magic. As I continued to look at the symbols as if I was reading the more of the two pages’ letters lit up. As soon as I finished looking through the symbols on the second page the entire book started glowing and releasing the golden letters into the air. I had been told to stand still and look straight ahead when I was done reading the pages, now I know why I was told this. The letters in the air were making four circular orbits around my head with the four circles meeting in front of my eyes. After about a minute of this, the letters started flowing into my eyes, ears and mouth. As I was told earlier I looked a little up into the sky as my eyes, mouth and ears started releasing golden light as the symbols entered them. It was Lily that told me this since while this was happening I had blacked out and still have no idea what had happened, which explains why everyone was looking at me in the guild since it was a cool sight to see. The only thing I seem to remember when I was blacked out was what sounded like tiny whispers occurring inside my brain.

You have learned Common and Beastman languages.

???: “Excuse me little one, but can you understand what I’m saying right now?”

I looked toward the source of the new voice and saw that it came from the receptionist who I couldn’t understand earlier.

Cameron: “Yes ma’am I can, wait I can understand you and I can talk too.” This was the first time I had emitted anything that wasn’t animalistic sounds and was also the first time I heard my own child-like voice and it startled me.

This just got a large amount of laughter of all of the occupants of the guild and a small chuckle from my family and the receptionist. The laughter wasn’t the hurtful kind, but rather felt like the kind you would have when you saw a child take its first step then fall on its butt and see the confusion on its face about what just happened.

Dad: “Well it’s good that you could learn the language of the beasts, now it’s time to take you to the castle since the ceremony for getting your ID plate is later today.

Authors note: Sorry about the shorter chapter posting. For those of you hoping for Raptor type demihuman (changing Beastmen to demihuman from now on and Beastman will refer to mammal type demihumans) don’t give up yet since I decided to add one later so just wait for it. When we get to a later chapter I will put up another poll. The second thing is that I’m changing up the way I write the chapters from just what comes to mind to now outlining before hand, also I just started spring break so I have more time for another chapter which I will try to release this week.
