“Mmph! Stop it, Arelia! Enough is enough! I have no physical interest in this woman, my interest is purely intellectual,” Maurice stressed, managing to break free of his wife’s iron grip.

Arelia reluctantly freed her husband who was gasping for air.

Euphemia and Ronaldo froze in their chairs, stunned by that public display of affection.

“I’m so sorry. She’s…well…a tad on the jealous side. Take that!” Maurice stretched up in his chair and bonked his forehead against his wife’s. He didn’t seem the least bit annoyed by her clinginess.

It was a sweet display of love between a married couple and through it Euphemia noticed something. Arelia’s eyes glowed for a whole second while her face was shadowed by Maurice’s.

“Ah! Excuse me! Is it possible that your…wife…is a Beast Blood?” she asked.

“Seriously?!” Ronaldo exclaimed.

“Pardon me?” Maurice responded in shock.

“P-Please don’t be offended! It’s just that…I have a Beast Blood friend…and she reminded me of him is all… I’m sorry if I’m wrong…” Euphemia’s voice grew smaller as she spoke. She feared she had pried too deep.

Arelia’s eyes took on a sharper gleam.

“Um…I’m sorry,” she apologized again.

“No, you aren’t mistaken. Arelia is a Beast Blood,” Maurice replied while searching Euphemia’s eyes.

Ronaldo’s expression was unusually tense.

“But how could you tell? From her stature?” Maurice inquired.

“No… I noticed her eyes glowing for a second when her face was shadowed by you… My friend’s eyes also glow beautifully in the dark.”

“Ahh, that’s how you guessed it. You weren’t afraid when you first saw your friend’s eyes?”

“Afraid? Not at all. I mean, he’s so handsome, strong, and kind… Why would I be?” Euphemia recalled those teal eyes that glowed silver in the dark. And then her thoughts led her to another possibility. “Excuse me for asking, but might you and Arelia be…mates?”

“Yes…we are mates,” Maurice immediately confirmed her abrupt question. “I see you even know that term.”

“And you’re married?”

“We sure are. Married and mates. Fortunately, if that’s the right word, Arelia’s parents are both human. Genuine Homo sapiens. In other words, she was the result of a random genetic mutation. That’s why she has a birth certificate. Most Beast Bloods don’t. We are mates and a married couple,” Maurice repeated, helping Euphemia digest that piece of information.

“…I see.”

Beast Bloods were said to be the survivors of the indigenous species living on this planet before human colonists arrived.

Ancient records kept by the colonists described how the native people gradually declined and died off as a direct result of humans reproducing at a faster rate and the sheer difference in their technological prowess. However, the genetics they left behind while intermarrying with humans for centuries never disappeared from the gene pool. They survived deep within the people who colonized this planet and occasionally resurfaced. Beast Blood was the name given to children who shared those genes.

Beast Bloods looked similar to humans, but they tended to be taller, larger, stronger, and physically gifted. The greatest trait used to distinguish them from humans was their irises that glow in the dark.

Beast Bloods were the reoccurrence of a species thought lost to the cruel passage of time and colonization.
