PoV Diana
"This better be good once we are there, otherwise," my Husband said angrily again. So angry, and as I covered my stomach, I could not blame him. Beast-kin soldiers surrounded the carriage ride as we walked, and there had been fights among the other families. The opportunity to come to the Beast-kin nation was cheap and expensive at the same time.
My Husband and I always wanted children, but for some reason, we could never conceive. We tried again and again and again and again. It felt like the goddess did not want us to have a child.
Then this opportunity came along.
Work for us.
A free house for us.
Education for any future children.
Cost?
I have a beast-kin child.
Whose child?
The Supreme Commander Chelsea Loveknot's child. The conqueror of our home. The strategist who took out a cut of the Empire. For the first time in history, the Empire lost a war, my neighbors said a scholar said. The Nobles fled and left us people at the bottom to the Beast-kin.
My neighbours, My Husband, and everyone I knew who lived through that moment where ice shattered the walls that stood for decades. That surrounded our city also cut through homes. Luckily, my Husband and I were out at work. My Husband was a Laborer at the docks before the beast-kin took over, and I am still a tailor, but tailors don't make much silver or copper. I did my best, but I was just a journeyman tailor doing my best. With no children at home, I could work so we would have some savings after my Husband came home.
But then the Beast-kin came and took over the city, and my Husband could no longer work. Day in and out, he would look or at least tell me he was out looking for work. But even the new local gang was in hiding. The Bloody Candies did their best to hire a lot of that labor, but still, there was only so much work to do. The Beast-kin started to hire people, and to everyone's surprise, paid for our labor.
I got extremely lucky and found myself hired by the Beast-kin Logistics Army, they called it. Something about a program some top person made up or something: I did not understand how it came about, but at least twenty skilled tailors and I were hired and paid well to mend uniforms, they called them.
That was when I heard about an opportunity.
I was the sole income for my Husband and myself, and despite the invasion, we wanted kids. I wanted so badly to hold my Husband's and my Baby that I put my hand up when they asked for women looking for a life-changing opportunity. This was something that I never expected in my life, and it came with so many benefits that it left me speechless.
It left my Husband speechless.
And he agreed.
I would get pregnant with the Beast-kin's child, and we would move to this new city.
We were about to arrive at the place, but now my Husband was angry.
So were many of the other men with their wives.
Because we were all pregnant with the same Beast-kins child.
My mind went to that moment as I stood naked in front of a Yellow female Bunny-kin soldier. They looked at me like I was a nobody. "Your Diana, there are ten women inside the room at this moment. Wait for the Supreme Commander to finish with one before heading inside." The soldier said, her voice cold as ice.
"Um, this opportunity is real, right?" I remember asking the soldier, and the soldier sighed.
"I don't fucking understand what the Supreme Commander is doing, touching a bunch of riff raff married women like yourself," The soldier said with contempt, and I felt my heart tighten. "But at the end of this, you and the family you wish to bring will be put on a carriage and brought to the place you were promised. The Supreme Commander is Justice in our Tribe. Questioning her word is something we simply do not do."
I remember my next words, "Why do you say that?"
The question was something I remember saying out of pure curiosity. Because as I stood before this woman naked, she was calling a Beast-kin woman inside a room impregnating ten women, justice. I was here just hoping half the promises from this opportunity were real.
"Because when she promised justice for the people, she did it. No matter who was implicated, even those of the controlling families of the tribe," The Soldier said back, her voice full of something I wish I had at this moment.
Belief.
I gulped, and I felt myself fill with hope at that time before a woman stepped out with her stomach, round breasts covered in unnamed juices, with a blank stare. The soldier sighed as the white juices, like the ones my Husband spits out from his dick, dripped from between her legs on the floor. "Follow me to clean up and to be processed for transportation. You have fulfilled the start of the contract." The soldier said, and she turned to me. "You may enter."
When I entered, the smell was the first thing to hit my nose. The smell was horrendous, and the woman had this sparkling, long, silver hair. Her Bunny ears were this dazzling silver that stood tall, and she was thrusting her hips into a woman who was crying out. Those screams were something I had never heard from a woman. "AH~! AH~! AH~!" Those screams haunt me as I feel myself moisten even as I think of them.
The Bunny-kin woman was surrounded by women who were naked, waiting their turn, and her thrusts were always met with a wet slap at the end and a cry of delight. I shivered despite the heat in that room as she thrusted at a pace my Husband would never be able to match. My mind hazed as I heard the woman scream, and suddenly her stomach expanded a little before she collapsed, and the Bunny-kin woman pulled out, pushing the woman away. A massive white spurt erupted from where they were joined, and she turned to the next woman, and soon she pressed her hand against her stomach.
She stood there with her hand on her stomach for a minute before pushing the woman down and then penetrating her. I quickly learned that, like the other women, I was drenched with liquid pouring down my thighs as we watched this woman impregnate woman after woman. Their screams of delight filled the room and my heart as I watched. I could only wish my Husband could do what this woman was doing to however many before me.
I felt this time all in a daze, or I must have been, because it was my turn before I knew it.
She pushed off another woman, and there was a line behind me now, and she turned to me. She pulled me in, pressed her hand to my stomach, and my heart leapt. She frowned as she pressed my stomach, and it took longer for me than anyone else. My stomach started to itch hard, and she seemed concentrated before she finished whatever she was doing.
"There you are now ready," The Bunny-kin woman said after I stood there for her for at least three times longer than anyone else. But what she did next truly changed my perspective on my Husband.
She pushed me down onto my back, unlike the others, and she pressed something against my love hole. I looked down, and my eyes widened. I could finally see what was making all those women scream, and my heart stopped.
It was a massive cock the size of my fucking arm. She was pushing the tip against my love hole, and before I knew it, I was screaming. My world shattered again and again, and I could not remember anything more than having the most pleasure of my life at that time. I barely even remember when she pushed me away, and I collapsed on the bed. I barely even registered getting up and leaving, or the processing.
What I do remember was the next day being loaded onto a carriage with my Husband and as much of our stuff as we could take—and heading on this journey. Now, I was here with my Husband, who agreed to just the cost of me having a child we always wanted, even if it wasn't his, which was what we wanted for the longest time. And if I had a child once, I should be able to have his next.
I found myself looking forward to the little bundle inside me. Somehow, they confirmed that I was pregnant. When I asked, the Beast-kin woman smiled at me, saying she had been asked this a thousand times. "When the Supreme Commander says she is impregnating you, you are being impregnated. She has never failed in that when she wants to, you're pregnant," The beast-kin said, and I did not get that.
Either way, my Husband was supposed to have the-
"We are arriving at the city. Please do not exit the carriage till we have arrived at the processing center!" A soldier announced as we rode on the carriages, and I found my heart beating rapidly as did the noise. The bangs of construction started to hit our ears.
My Husband looked out the back, and behind us, you could see humans and Beast-kin of different species working on buildings in various states of construction.
Then I noticed.
The carriage was no longer rocking around all over the place. Instead, the road was smooth, and my eyes widened as I noticed the paved road with not even shit from the beasts of burden on it. My eyes widened as we went deeper, so that a tailor would be able to make a business here no matter what. A laborer would find a job easily.
They did not lie to us.
I could not help but feel even better as we arrived at this 'Processing center' just on the edge of the city. The soldiers stopped, helped us women out of the carriages, including the children, and we were sent to a line waiting to be 'processed.' This word they kept using was weird, but as we walked up in the fast-moving line, the men and women at the front were no longer those uniformed soldiers. Instead, they were beast-kin tribesmen, it seemed. They wore loose clothing, and I felt myself flush as they dressed in clothing that barely hid their private parts. Their breasts were almost on display, and their stomachs were on show with skirts that barely covered their lower bits.
"Next!" A woman said, calling forward my Husband and me, and I flushed, looking at the woman. She was a bunny-kin with grey hair and fur on her arms. She was fit and reminded me of the woman who impregnated me, apparently.
"That's us," I found myself saying, hoping not to offend.
"Name?" She asked.
"Diana and my husband David," I said.
"No last name, this is going to continue to be an issue," She said, "Alright, Diana, we will have a Wizard check on the baby in a bit to ensure there are no issues for you after coming here. Have there been any symptoms? Pain, irritation? Bleeding, anything outside of normal?" the woman asked, and I shook my head.
"Perfect, alright, now, you David," The woman said, writing things down, and I could not believe they got someone educated to talk to us like this. Writing information about us. I tried to read it, but it was all gibberish to me.
"I am skilled with my hands and can carry things." My Husband said, and I glared at him.
"Please do not over embellish your skills," The woman said, her voice cold. "If you have skills. WE WANT TO KNOW," The Bunny-kin emphasized. "We need to know, and you want us to know, because you will get paid more if you have a skill and know about it. Not even if you are using it for your first job here, we might need it in the future. Understood? Also, don't lie about skills you do not have, YOU WILL BE TESTED. Now, what skills do you have?" She said her voice was going softer again as she smiled.
My Husband stepped back, but I pushed him back forward. "I am a skilled laborer. I am strong and I can carry a lot." My Husband said correctly this time, and the woman nodded.
"Anything else?" She asked.
"Um, I- I don't think so?" My Husband replied, and she nodded.
"Good, and now, you, Diana, tell me what skills do you have?" She asked.
"I am a tailor," I said with a flush, "I was called a journeymen from my boss one time, and I worked in the Logistics army fixing uniforms," I told her, and she visibly brightened up.
"PERFECT, We will have to test you for your current skill level, but we need more skilled people like you. You will find that you can currently demand almost twice the compensation for any work you did back in the Border City. That also means pre-invasion. So you are in luck here. Now, do you have any reading or writing skills?" The woman asked, "That is for both of you."
"No," My Husband said, and I repeated after him.
"Math skills?" The woman asked.
"No," We both replied.
"Any willingness to learn new skills? Remember, if you are willing, these are not easy courses. We expect you to learn and be at a certain level of skill after the training."
"I am," I said, face flushed, as my Husband looked around. I felt pity for him because he always found it hard to learn new things.
"I am not so good at learning," He said.
"That is perfectly acceptable," The woman said, and then she pointed, "Please go over there for a check-up, then skill check. That will be for both of you. Even in labor, there are different levels of skill." The woman said, "After you have your skills assessed, we will pick a place for you to live based on your current skills and the lineup. If you end up in a tent, it will not be for long. Houses are being completed every day," The woman finished, "Please move along to those people there," She said, pointing out, and my mind went blank.
Was this really happening?
House, work, even education? Were they actually willing to teach me things? Would I learn to read? Math, whatever that is?
I could not help but feel my heart beat quickly as we walked up to two Bunny-kin, both men with black hair on one and blue hair on the other. They were both dressed in robes, both were this light blue, and they frowned. "Diana, right?" one of them said, and I nodded. "Perfect, please come with me, while my colleague talks to your Husband. We will do a quick medical check on the baby and do an Identity card for you." He said, and I found my stomach. We were then taken to a room with lots of human women and beast-kin in robes, where a curtain was drawn around us. Then he lifted my shirt and pressed his hand to my stomach.
"The baby is coming along well, it seems. You will be required to undergo some check-ups once every three months or if you notice any issues. Do you understand?" The man said, and I nodded. "Perfect. Now," He began to talk about the identity card, and a Wolf beast-kin walked in and started to draw me and color me onto a small paper or something and put in some details. There was a lot of blank space, but when they finished the robed man pressed his hand to the page, and I noticed it glowed.
THEY WERE USING MAGIC!
My brain blanked for the longest time. Real magic was done around me! This robed man was a wizard! My mind was amazed as he guided me out, and soon I found myself with my Husband headed to a new place. Everything was so confusing as things kept happening one after another. Then we were separated, and I found myself showing my tailoring skill to a Beast-kin. They were asking me questions that I barely understood the meaning of, and I continued to work and showed them things when I felt I could not explain.
When I was done, they said, "You are a Journeyman, but close to senior. You have been marked for potential. I hope you thrive for the tribe." The woman beast-kin said after assessing my skills, and when everything was done. We found ourselves on a carriage. My mind went blank like everyone else, I guessed.
So much happened in such a short amount of time, and we found ourselves in a carriage again, like we never left the first one. To my surprise, too, they had our stuff in the carriage as well.
"I got a job," my Husband said, suddenly his voice stunned, and I looked at him, and I felt my heart swell with happiness. "Did any of you?" My Husband asked for the first time since the carriage rides started, not sounding angry.
The men all nodded, "I got a carpentry job. I have been looking for over a month, and we had no more savings back in the Empire." The man said, and that began a discussion.
But when we arrived at our destination, we found ourselves as new neighbors in the best houses we had ever seen. We actually had separate rooms, and my Husband and I got a third-floor home. We lived above two of the other families we rode with.
My mind was blank as a Beast-kin with gold hair, looking like she was a prostitute, as the gangs showed us around, but my mind refused to understand the luxury. We now had something called a bathroom, a room just for our bed, and a kitchen, along with a large room and two extra bedrooms. It was so extravagant and luxurious, I found my Husband in a daze along with me.
Did we just become rich merchants?
For just the cost of me getting pregnant?
