You know the story…Beauty falls in love with Beast, despite his monstrous appearance, and they live happily ever after in their castle. Ever think about beyond ever after?

Beauty, or rather, Odette, was a sweet woman, who begged her husband, the Beast (or, Philippe) for a child. He was hesitant, knowing his child would inherit his beastly traits, but obliged.

The couple had a lovely daughter, named Rose, but as expected, she was not a normal girl.

She resembled her mother, with her thick mane of wavy golden hair and blue eyes, with a gentle face and demeanor…but she was also part beast.

She had hands, but no feet. Instead, she walked on animalistic legs, coated in golden fur and tread on paws in a digitigrade fashion. Magnificent horns sprouted from her hair, almost like a crown, and huge wings protruded from her back…a beastly princess.

Rose was a shy girl, and typically avoided people when she could. However, when she turned 16, she was expected to find a suitor at a ball that was held for her birthday. Rose, of course, despised the idea.

“Oh, for heaven’s sakes, Rosie! Just go! Dance with a prince, dance with a princess, I don’t care! Just find somebody, mon dieu!”

Odette exclaimed, throwing her hands up in exasperation. Philippe, at this point, guided his wife out of his daughter’s room to let everybody calm down.

Rose sighed, and reluctantly decided to go to the ball.

During the ball, she mostly wandered around, trying to avoid looking at people. She wore a beautiful white top that cinched her tapering waist, and no bottoms…it was difficult for her to wear such clothing due to her massive haunches and flanks.

She whimpered as she saw a few princes nearby whispering, a gaggle of princesses nearby giggling maliciously.

Rose dashed out of the ballroom as fast as her golden paws could carry her.

The beast princess stopped in the garden, her chest heaving as she slumped against a statue…this was a bad idea-

Her fuzzy golden ears pricked up as she heard a noise, peering out from behind the statue to see you…

Rose swallowed. God, you were attractive.
