Chapter 1: Hybrid Body.

Gustave Jahir was dressed in military attire as he was kneeling on the ground. His army fatigues were bloody with his own and his enemy's blood. He pressed a bloody hand against the massive hole in his gut from which his guts were pushing against. Blood spilled from his lips as he fell to his back onto one of the many bodies surrounding him. They had been brutally torn apart with blade, bullet and some seemed to have been beaten to death. 

Gustave wheezed as his lifeblood left his body. The more spilled from the numerous injuries covering him the colder things seemed to get. He knew wounds well enough to know that there would be no clawing his way from the reach of death this time. He could not even speak as his lungs had been pierced so he was left a gasping wheezing shell of himself. 

'Life has been fun.' 

With that last thought, his hand went slack and fell from the giant wound in his gut. The Beast had been slain, but he had taken all 54 killers with him single-handed. A throne of bodies for a legendary killer was the perfect throne for someone like Gustave. Once the light had faded from his eyes Gustave had not expected there to be an afterlife. 

He believed once you died, that was all. No Heaven Hell, or Purgatory. Or whatever else people thought they went, all of it was just a way to make dying less scary. Gustave's consciousness was snuffed out once he died, but it was ignited once it was back into a body. He did not know it at the time, but names, have power. Being feared by so many as The Beast had made him one in both name and body. 

--

Currently in New York city of the United States in a hospital bed lay a female Siberian Tiger in labor. She was also a very unique individual known as a melanistic with her stripes being much thicker and covering large sections of her body. She was one of only 25 in the whole world and now she was having a hybrid child. Even the doctor was curious about the result, but he did his job. 

Her fangs were clenched around something to bite. Her clawed hand was clentched around the hand of her husband a very worried male lion with a dark black mane. He himself was l far larger than normal lions as he was a pure-blooded Barbary Lion better known as the Atlas Lions. He himself was just one of 23 left in the world. A dying species to be sure.

The doctor who was delivering their child was a black bear and he continued to instruct the tigress in birth.  Another black bear dressed as a nurse was on standby to help the doctor with the birth which was going well. All things considered, this was a hybrid. Which were known for causing damage to the mother sometimes fatal. Luckily this was looking to be all going well with no issues. 

"Keep pushing. I can see the head already." 

The lion placed his hand over his wife's head. Her eyes were shut as she struggled with the birth. 

"Anastacia, you need to keep pushing." 

With a pained growl, she pushed once more and the doctor caught thier child. The nurse moved in and began to wash off Gustave who had his eyes tightly shut. He was blind and deaf considering how lions and tigers were born. Gustave was truly tiny and the struggle was related to the hybrid birth. All things considered, had gone well and Anastacia would make a full recovery. Quite soon as well. 

She opened her mouth and dropped what she was biting. It was almost cut in half and she took a relieved breath. She was dead tired and wanted to sleep, but she held her hands out for her cub. The bear smiled and handed her Gustave once they cut the umbilical cord. Once she held her cub she pushed him against her breast which caused Gustave to instinctively begin feeding. He himself was not conscious really and was running on pure instinct. 

His father smiled as he looked at his firstborn son. 

"Our boy is so precious? He got your melanistic trait." 

The tigress glared at him with anger in her green eyes. She was not really mad, just bitter. This was her idea to have a kid despite her husband warning her against it. 

"You fucking bastard. I am going to cut off your nuts and feed them to you for this." 

He began to back away as he held his hands up. He nervously laughed as he told her about it. 

"But you are the one who said you wanted a kid. How is this my fault?' 

That did not calm her down and caused her to lash out more. 

"It's still your fault. I will cut off your tail for that you asshole." 

The doctor cleared his throat which made Anastacia glare at him too. 

"What?" 

He just backed off as well. Never get between a couple arguing. Especially after childbirth which was usually when female carnivores were more on edge. 

"Nothing ma'am. I just wanted to congratulate you on the birth. And you need to decide on a name." 

Jason walked back to his wife as  they had already had a name. 

"We already agreed. His name is Gustave Jahir." 

Anastacia yawned barring her massive fangs. She was among carnivores so she had no need to care about showing them. 

"I am tired." 

The nurse walked up to Anastacia and checked up on her to make sure nothing was wrong. 

"Would you like us to take him to the nursery? Or would you like to keep him with you for a little longer?" 

Jason walked up to his wife and took his son into his arms. 

"A little longer. I have not gotten a chance to hold him after all." 

Anastacia closed her eyes and gave him a warning. 

"Look after him. I'm taking a nap."

She closed her eyes falling asleep instantly. Jason shook his head as he sat down looking at his son. He had done as much research on Ligers as he could and he found a decent bit. With Ligers, it could be a hit or a miss whether they were born healthy or not. As with any hybrid issues were bound to occur, but he hoped with proper care they could work around them. 

Curious he opened up the blanket and got a look at his son's body. Just as he said it before, his son had inherited the melanistic trait from his mother. Ligers rarely had much black spots,  but his son was covered in black stripes much like his mother. Looking more like a true tiger, with a lion's head and colors. 

"Well, he will be quite the looker in the future. Won't you son?" 

The doctor glanced at the nurse and waved her away. She nodded as she knew what the doctor was going to say. This was a carnivore-only clinic so there were some things that were done differently. Once the nurse left and closed the door he walked up to Jason. 

"Sir. I need to ask you an important question?" 

Jason looked up curious. 

"What is it?" 

The bear asked straight away. 

"Do you and your wife eat 'supplements?" 

Jason knew what supplements he meant.

"Yes. Very often."

The doctor walked over and patted him on the shoulder. 

"That is good. I recommend once your son can get him on those supplements. It will help him in the long run with his hybrid status. Just make sure you don't turn him into a monster. I would get him a therapist also as hybrids often have conflicting instincts. Help him in this life so he does not turn into another tragedy. Show him love, not scorn." 

With that, the doctor also stepped out leaving Jason to his thoughts. 

"You heard all that didn't you hon." 

Anastacia opened her eyes and sat up with little issue. She was asleep for a bit, but once they began to talk she woke up. 

"Yeah. I heard." 

Jason paused before asking the important question. 

"What do you think?' 

"We are doing it. Only the best for our son.

Jason smiled as he looked at their son. 

"I knew you would say that. We got to make sure he does not get hooked on it though."

Anastacia smiled. 

"With who his father is? I don't think so." 

Jason flexed a muscled arm. 

"Thanks for the vote of confidence." 

They talked a bit more before Anastacia really did fall asleep for real. The supplement they talked about was meat. And lot's of it as they, like most carnivores, had means to get access to meat. If they could keep themselves fed, happy, and thriving, they would do the same for their son. After his birth, Anastacia recovered rapidly as she had suffered no permanent damage from the birth. 

She just had exhausted herself so a few days of bed rest was all she needed. Plus she herself had a strong body so she was perfectly fine to leave the hospital on foot after only a few days. Once she was discharged she was pushed out of the hospital in a wheelchair despite her not wanting to. She sighed as she was pushed out while Jason had already pulled up with his SUV. He already had Gustave in a baby carrier in the backseat just waiting for his wife. 

He chuckled when he saw her in the wheelchair. She herself had her arms crossed as this was the procedure. Once her wheelchair was in front of the SUV, she got up without trouble. 

"Told you I was just fine." 

The nurse, a fellow tiger just chuckled. 

"It's procedure ma'am." 

"Yeah, I know. Thanks for this." 

The tigress just smiled. 

"Hope to see you again someday." 

Anastacia and Jason were not ready for more kids just yet so Anastacia just nodded. She got up and got into the passenger side seat. Once she was settled in, Jason drove off from the hospital toward their home. On the way, Anastacia looked over at Jason who was driving. Noticing her gaze he glanced over. 

"You are going to want more aren't you?" 

She nodded. 

"Maybe in a few years. We are still at the peak of our life after all." 

Jason was only 21 while she was 20 years old. Along with thier healthy lifestyles, they truly had a long life ahead of them. Plus, Gustave's birth had been relatively simple. Even the pregnancy was not very harsh on Anastacia despite him being a Liger. 

"If that is what you want, but just like we said. We have to make sure Gustave has a good life. We are lucky that in America cross-species marriage is allowed." 

Anastacia leaned back in her seat. 

"Yeah. Well, it does not matter even if it wasn't. I'd still have picked you over any of the tigers in High School."

Jason smiled. 

"And I you over any of the lioness." 

They kept flirting until they arrived at their house. A very large house given to Jason by his parents, two pure-blooded Barbary Lions. They owned a very successful Pharmaceutical Company that operated largely in North America. When they found out their oldest son married a Tiger they honestly did not care. They had 5 more kids so they still gave him a nice property for himself and his wife. 

She herself was not wealthy or anything, but they liked her because she was not after thier son's money. Once Jason parked the SUV in the garage Anastacia got out and went to the back to get Gustave. She got his carrier and brought him inside to the house. 

"Feels good to finally be back home." 

Jason followed behind her with the keys in his pocket. "

"Yeah. Our home now feels more like home with our baby." 

They both looked at Gustave who was still sleeping contently. His eyes and ears were still shut so he was blind and deaf. This went away around 3 weeks of age, which they could not wait for. They went up to take him to the nursery which they had prepared for him. Once they set him down in his crib they stood over him smiling from ear to ear. 

Every twitch of the ears or tail brought a chuckle from them. They hugged each other as they were glad to finally be parents. Now the question was, how would Gustave turn out when his consciousness returned?
