And my third of the planned TFTG stories.

A geneticist is found working on a secret project, but is forced to take drastic measures when he is found out to be doing something illegal. Will things end well or will his wife lose her husband as a feral?


A geneticist by the name of Harry was busy in his lab, working another late shift.

He was of slight build, 5'7, sporting a mane of ginger hair he kept in a neat ponytail.

His wife rang up not so long ago, asking when he was coming home. He told her in the next hour, he had to wrap things up at his end.

He was indulging in a small passion project of his, by profession he was supposed to study only human genes, but his hobby and obsession was anything hyena related. He practically worshipped them with wall hangings, portraits, cushions, his duvet and throw, all hyena themed.

And his passion project? Trying to infuse his genes with the same strong bone and build density of his beloved hyenas.

He was tired of always being weak and weedy, and he had nothing but admiration for the sheer bone crushing power, the strength and large build of the spotted wild canine.

All he wanted was a little bulk, maybe a stronger jaw and not to feel so weak and vulnerable.

Always curious and a tinkerer since he could remember, he had managed to construct a gene splicer, and was setting about the delicate process of distilling the DNA from a strand of hyena hair in a sealed plastic bag from a trip to Africa. It was a delicate process, isolating all but the genes he wanted in him.

He was about 9/10th of the way through before the door to the science building was opened and footsteps could be heard.

“Shit," he said quietly before having to wrap up and distil into a canister otherwise all of his work and effort would have been for nothing.

As the machine finalised processing the DNA strand into liquid form, it finished with a ping sound as he quickly slid the machine back into its hiding spot among the locked cupboard when the door flew open.

“Harry, what in god's name are you doing working at this late hour, it is nine at night!" a broad, balding middle aged man said with a moustache that was starting to grey.

“I-I'm sorry Martin, I was just…having to run some extra tests," he started before Martin swiped the key from his hand.

Unlocking the cupboard, he whipped it out to reveal the incriminating machine, “I can explain…" Harry started before trailing off at the furious gaze of his boss.

“You have been warned before about trying to tamper with DNA, I will not press charges but your machine is to be scrapped and you are fired," he said before turning his back to him.

“Please Martin, I'm close I can feel it. This could revolutionise genetics, people could have changes only fantasised about before!"

“Harry…you are borderline insane. This type of manipulation could cause serious harm if it goes wrong, and there is no idea of the long term effects," he said with a solemn look before his expression hardened. “Remove yourself and belongings from the premise now Harry, otherwise I WILL press charges and that is something I do not want to put your wife Jessica through," he said before turning his back on him and walking out. “I will be waiting to collect your key and pass," he said with a glance before exiting.

*

A woman in her late 20's paced about her home, her hand occasionally fiddling with her shoulder length auburn hair. She was going to give Harry a piece of her mind when he walked through that door. He thought she didn't know but she knew; she had been in touch with his work before on why he was late at times and they had no knowledge of him working extra hours. He was doing something on the side and she was going to find out what when he walked through.

The door handle lowered with a click and the door swung open, her mouth was open, ready to shout at him when she saw his crestfallen and defeated face.

“Harry?" She said, her anger dissolving in an instant.

“I'm sorry Jessica, I…messed up," he said, slouching through the door before his wife wrapped him in her arms.

“Harry, what happened?" she said to him, “Don't tell me you were…"

“Fired?" He said glumly, sighing and seeming to shrink in on himself.

Jessica recoiled slightly, a hand going to a small bulge in her stomach. “Things were going too smoothly I guess," she said softly before he tilted her face up, making her hazel eyes meet his blue.

“Don't worry Jessica, I'll find something. After all, we have a baby on the way, so I WILL find something, I promise," he said with a small smile that melted when he saw her questioning look.

“You want to know why I was fired don't you?" he said with a resigned sigh.

He withdrew a vial from a hidden pocket in his coat, his wife gasping. “What have you been working on?" She said as she wearily eyed the faintly glowing vial.

“It was a side project, I…was going to test it on myself. I've always had an obsession with hyenas. You know that, I wondered…well…what if I could BE one, I mean in part. Still humanoid but with their features and traits.

“This is what you have been giving your time up for? No wonder you were fired. Harry, you must promise me that you will dispose of this, give it back to the lab or whatever it takes to be rid of it. This is dangerous, even if you survived and it worked you would be a freak!"

This time it was Harry who looked hurt and angry, “You would abandon me because I'd be different? Doesn't matter if I am the same on the inside?"

“Of course I wouldn't but I don't want to invite trouble or to have you taken away and raise a child on my own is all!" She yelled back with the pair squaring up to each other.

Eventually it was Harry who backed down to her reason. With a defeated sight he nodded, swearing he would get rid of the vial and look for new work.

*

A year had passed, true to his word Harry had got a new job within a week as a developer of pharmacy drugs. They had a baby boy who was healthy and well, but the one thing he lied about was the canister, he just couldn't let go of it and kept it hidden in a small jewellery chest, just out of reach of his wife where he'd check on it, but blanch away and close it again.

She was right of course, he would be a freak, possibly locked up or even dissected. His wife would be left without a husband and struggling with their newborn.

But he also knew that time was running short because soon the formula would become too old and unstable, then it would be gambling with his life to use it and have no option but to throw it away.

Jessica was starting to notice his increasing distractions and growing frustration, easily snapping and becoming irritable.

“Harry, what the hell is wrong with you of late?" She said when he snapped and yelled at the baby who was crying for the third time that night. “It isn't like you to be so aggressive!"

He sighed and combed his fingers through his hair, it was no use, he would have to tell her and then decide what they would do with the formula.

“I'm sorry Jessica I…have something to confess," he said as he stood up and brought the jewellery box and vial down.

“Harry, is that?" She gasped as a faint glow lit up the immediate space.

“Yes…I lied when I said I got rid of it. I thought that maybe I could still go through with it but the more I thought about it the less practical it seemed. I'll take it back for disposing tomorrow, can you come with me to make sure I follow through?"

“Harry…I know it took a lot of strength to do this, I know you'll feel better for getting rid of temptation though," she said with pride, giving him a gentle embrace.

'I somehow doubt that,' he thought to himself resignedly.

*

Later that day after work, the pair went straight from home to the research facility, only whilst Harry was waiting to see his old boss about returning the vial and confessing, Jessica had to excuse herself for the loo. Only she took a wrong turn and ended up in a room where, much to her surprise, she saw a type of bedroom that housed a sleeping…thing. It looked like it was a human but slowly changing into an animal of some sort.

Holding in her gasp, she withdrew from the room before doing a bit of snooping about. And to her horror in one office, she found notes that looked to have been in Harry's hand.

“The bastards, they are using his notes and research for their own gains," she mumbled.

Storming back into the waiting room Harry smiled at her before seeming confused. “Jessica, what's the matter? I know you are tired of waiting but they said Martin will be here in five min-" he was cut off as she dragged him out of the chair.

“We are leaving. Now!" She said in a fit of anger, dragging a confused Harry out of the waiting room.

“Jessica what the hell has gotten into you?" He said, about having enough of her odd behaviour.

She made a zipping motion and indicated they should get into the car and drive. “I'll explain on the way," she muttered to him.

More baffled than ever, he shot her a questioning look before they climbed in and started driving.

“Now are you going to explain what is going on?" He said to her before she showed him a photo taken in private on her phone.

“What…am I looking at?" He said, a dead note to his voice.

“They are using what you developed and probably hoping to line their pockets whilst you get the shaft," she said, her voice an angry growl.

Pulling the car over, he gripped the phone so hard that the plastic cracked, his anger just about bubbling over. “I know exactly what I am going to do," he said, a dangerous note in his voice. Before Jessica could even stop him, he'd whipped the vial out and plunged the needle into his arm, injecting himself with the serum.

“Harry…the fuck have you done?!" She said, her hand whipping to her mouth in horror.

“If I can trigger the change myself, there is a chance I can prove and reclaim what was mine," he said, his hand balling into a determined fist.

“But Harry, what if they take you away?" She said, her voice trembling. “I don't want to be a widow!" She said, her voice nearly turning into a shriek before he grabbed her and held her close to his thin body.

“I will not, I promise. I will do all I can, and should any untoward side effects start to crop up, I have enough resources to correct and manage the change," he said in a voice of false but what he hoped, convincing confidence.

*

For the first few days nothing really happened, other than Harry feeling a bit distracted and weird. He was just about to write it off as a failure when the first signs of change started to show.

He came back home from work groaning, Jessica in the process of feeding the baby quickly put him down when she saw his pained expression.

“Harry, is everything okay?" She asked before noticing he felt somehow more bulked up, as though the bones were starting to shift and grow.

“I-I think it is finally working, it just needed time to, ugh, integrate with my cells," he grunted as he felt his bones shift, a slight cracking sound could be heard.

“What can I do to help?" Jessica said in a panicked tone, seeing her husband's face contorting in pain was something she was not happy with.

“A…counter serum," he grunted, trying to walk, only to find now that his legs were starting to seize up and not wanting to walk at all. “I-it is on my desk in my office. Guide me to the sofa, I can't make it there. You'll, argh, have to administer it!" He cried as a particular loud and sickening crunch could be heard as it looked like his body was trying to fully shift into a hyena.

“Okay okay um, I'll be right back!" Jessica said in a panicked tone before dashing off before shouting. “Where is it?!"

“The, rrrghh, THIRD DRAWER!" He shouted, starting to sound more bestial, making Jessica panic and in her haste, fumbled the vial, the top popping off. Quickly putting a hand to the opening she managed to block any of the precious serum from spilling out before capping it again with the needle and shooting towards Harry.

He already had fur sprouting over his body, the bones of his face were starting to twist and form into a familiar canine muzzle. “HURRY!" He howled in pain, saliva drooling from his deformed muzzle.

“R-right," She cried out, shaking her head to clear away the shock before grabbing his arm and doing her best to find a vein under the forming fur, jabbed the needle in and pushed the plunger.

Within minutes the changes started to slow down, the cracks and pops settled into gentle creaks and his structure looked like it was trying to correct itself back into a humanoid pattern.

His skin and forming fur was drenched with sweat, his clothing looking torn and tattered and ill fitting. He looked like a mess!

“Harry…?" Jessica said tentatively, keeping her hands to herself as if he would suddenly turn on her.

“It…is…okay. I…am…me," he said in a laboured fashion. “Please. Help me to…the bath," he said as she crouched down and helped him up, noticing there was already a stub of a tail starting to form at the base if his spine.

Helping him to the bath, Jessica slid him in as gently as she could before running the water. “Cold," he said simply, “keep cold. Body has to cool," he struggled through his half formed muzzle.

“R-right," she said again, unable to think what to say. Harry's transformation had shocked and terrified her, and the knowledge that had she been any slower, Harry might have been too far gone for the serum to work.

Dipping her hand into the water, she recoiled at the freezing temperature, about to turn on the hot tap when he barked for her to leave it.

“I'll just soak…for a bit," he said, sounding ready to drop off to sleep.

Grabbing his washcloth, Jessica gently stroked it over his head, causing the brow to crease in pain before relaxing, feeling as the structure subtly shifted under her touch.

“Jessica…?" He said, weakly placing his hand, now looking somewhere between a human's hand and a short haired ape, on hers. “Thank you."

She gazed back at him, part of her angry he had gone through with this foolhardy scheme and part of her relieved to at least still have some of her husband.

*

A month had passed with some surprising changes and developments; Harry slowly turning into a hyena hybrid wasn't the surprise, though he was having to wear an increasing amount of head to toe clothing to go out anywhere the more of him changed. No, the real shock was two weeks into the change, he started developing breasts.

“J-Jessia!" He shouted one day after waking up from another deep sleep, (it turned out a lot of energy was burnt in the major development phases.)

She came running, noticing that he had a slightly higher tone to his voice before she was met by his angry, mismatched eyes with one having turned into a dark brown iris and the other stubbornly staying blue though his hair was slowly turning from ginger to a brown mane.

“Harry what?" Jessica began when he whipped the sheets back to show he was developing a small set of breasts, his phallus looking like it was starting to thin out as well.

“What did you do?!" He shouted at her, his eyes wide with panic. “You tampered with the STABILISING SERUM!"

“No I didn't I swear, all I did was bring you the solution and…and…" she trailed off as the events dawned on her.

“And?" He growled, his mismatched eyes narrowing at her.

“Well…the-the cap seemed to come off so I had to dive and cover the end to stop it seeping out. I didn't think any harm would come of it!"

“You…IDIOT!" He howled out. “You introduced female cells into the solution!"

“I-I'm sorry Harry I'm sorry!" She sobbed, recoiling in fear of him before he checked himself and reigned in his temper.

Running a paw down his muzzle he groaned before beckoning her to him, to which to her surprise he cuddled her to him.

“I'm sorry…if you hadn't caught it I wouldn't even be able to be mad at you, I'd either be dead or caged somewhere," he said in a measured tone.

“Can you not reverse it?" She said softly, tears running down her cheeks. It was tearing her up what she had done, she had turned her husband into a female!

“No…there is no way now. The stabilising solution was to counter the runaway effects of the serum, there is no way to counter the stabiliser though," he said before licking her cheek, the best he could do for a kiss now. “But it isn't as bad as things seem."

“Oh?" She said, wiping her eyes. “How can it not be as bad?"

“Well for one female hyenas have a huge clitoris that acts like a penis, they can even have an erection through it. So, even a female, I can still pleasure you in bed," he said, turning her cheeks bright red in a blush.

“I'm not so sure how I feel about that, and what about our kid?"

“So? He'll just grow up with two hot mothers instead, what kid wouldn't want that?" He half joked to her.

“Harry!" Jessica said, part scolding and partly embarrassed, her face going beet red.

“Hey, we know things have been rough for a bit, maybe this is the start of something new for us."

Three weeks into the change with him now resembling a lot more of a female hyena then a male with most of his body now coated in a soft coat of spotted tan hyena fur. A few days later, a knock sounded on the door. Three very official looking men stood there with a warrant, and after recovering from the shock of seeing Harry, told him he was to be taken to court with possible life imprisonment for theft of company secrets and property.

This had angered the pair, though surprisingly Jessica moreso.

“You government pigs can take your document and shove it up your–!"

“Jess!" Harry barked out, “it's okay, I got this," he said to her before stroking her hair and leaving with the officers.

After a few nerve wracking days in a private holding cell, he finally came back home with an escort and to a very relieved wife.

“Harry, what happened?" She asked, her head going to press into his chest, only to find her breasts had developed more in her time away and close to being a true female hyena.

“Well Genecorp tried to argue I had stolen their formula for revolutionising the world, then tried to argue I had tampered with their formula. After a good bit of back and forth I laid down my trump card showing myself off in all my glory, and asking about the stabilising solution. This backfired on the corporation as an investigation was launched and found they had numerous victims who they thought they were helping. You see the stabilising solution was something I worked on in my spare time at home so would not be on their databases. So now Genecorp's heads are being prosecuted to the full extent of the law and told to stand down or They will face life imprisonment."

“Oh Harry, that is great news!" She said, blushing when she felt his chest was actually edging on larger than hers. “This…will take some getting used to."

“Oh I haven't told you the best bit," Harry said with a grin. “The best bit is: I now own Genecorp."

*

A year had passed since the events involving Harry's firing, betrayal and transformation at Genecorp.

With him heading the business, or more her heading it, a revolution was brought into the world. People who wanted certain changes could become what they wanted, new laws had to be established as the number grew to protect them as some viewed them as freaks or even dangerous.

Unlike the Genecorp of old who would have charged a fortune for their clients, Harry had various plans and price programs to tailor to a wide range of people and budget.

Walking in after another long, late shift, she took her suit off and threw it over the back of a chair. Stretching with a groan, her ears perked up and tail flexed.

“Another late shift Holly?" Jessica said, smiling and walking up to her with a mug of tea which the hyena morph took with a lick over her cheek.

“Changing the world isn't easy," she groaned, collapsing into their custom chairs for their tails to thread through. Yes, Their tails.

The thought of going through the same change hadn't appealed to Jessica, but she had always fantasised about having a fluffy fox tail and ears which she now proudly sported.

With literally thousands of people wanting to be more in touch with their wild or natural selves with hundreds already changed, it had prompted a new range of clothing especially designed with adjustable rear tailholes with Jessica in an adapted set of half pants and Holly in an adapted pair of smart trousers.

Of course there was the other side of the trend which was an increase in clogged drains, something that was needing a more radical solution with those who had the operation, having to fork money out for a bladed mincer to be installed in the drain of their shower.

Taking her suit off with a groan of relief, Jessica stood on her tiptoes to kiss her on the muzzle, giggling at the soft feel of her fur and whiskers.

Their little terror raced into the room, already walking at one, before falling only for Holly to catch him and lift the giggling, squirming mass into the air.

“He's a fast learner," she smiled before Jess wrapped her arms around her midsection.

“Well he does have your smarts," she said, a purr in her voice indicating what she was in the mood for.

With a knowing smile, Holly's tail wrapped around Jess's before their son squirmed and she put him down, running around grabbing their tails and snuggling them to him, giggling before saying, “Floof!"

“His…first words," Jess said in wonderment with Holly staring bemused before picking him up, hugging the pair in unguarded affection.

After they had dinner and put him to bed, Holly wandered into the bedroom to change, wondering where her wife had gotten to before turning the lights on only to see her posing on the bed, nude as the day she was born and her fluffy fox tail wrapped to tauntingly hide her privates and nipples.

“Well, how can I say no to that?" Holly said as she felt a stirring under her pants, teasingly stripping off.

She may have been a female now, but the hyena's unique anatomy made it so that boxers were still the preferred way to dress as a clear bulge could be seen running the length and even beginning to poke out of the leg of them.

Stripping her blouse off, Holly made a show to tease Jessica, deliberately doing so in a slow, deliberate fashion, making her growl softly in want.

“I think with the tail and ears you also inherited the vixen's lust," she smirked before finally tossing the garment off and wriggling out of the boxers, revealing her to have a nice pair of C cup breasts.

“Mmh if anything I'd say you were bigger than when you were full male," Jess purred when Holly's long clitoris came into view, half flaccid but growing in arousal as her eyes roamed her wife's nude form.

“Oh you know I am much bigger," Holly purred back in return, gently lowering herself so they were chest to chest, Jess shivering in pleasure at the feeling of soft fur on her skin. It was something she had become an increasing kink with Jessica, to the point she could cause herself to become aroused just by the feeling of her own tail over her skin.

“Mmh what was your reading before, eight inches, about a three inch growth," Jess purred into the hyena's ear, “and I know you are pretty skilled with that tool, so come on big girl."

Her sensual whispering had the desired effect as Holly's pseudo phallus went from half to full erection, the smooth, dark flesh pressing against the length of her belly with a sticky secretion already oozing from the tip.

“It will never cease to amaze me how it functions," Jess said, gently crawling down her body to take the pseudo pallus in her hand. “Just how if you took a male they would have to go through the head," with that she teasingly took the tip head into her mouth, poking a tongue through the head's opening which she knew would get Holly well warmed up and wet.

“Oh fuck Jess!" She gasped, her blunt clawed hands digging into the the bed, with her genetic modifications she also had a slightly longer, broader tongue, feeling the width of it slide down her clitoris and causing her inner vaginal walls to squirm and clench, releasing a small river of juices as she worked more and more into her mouth, pushing that tongue deeper into her before gently pulling out.

“Mmh I got to admit, I do love your musky taste," Jess moaned, crawling up the bed before Holly grabbed her, rolled so she was on top of her wife and kissed, angling so her feral muzzle could brush and her tongue could invade her human mouth.

Eyes wide, Jessica closed them and surrendered to the sensation, grinding her body into her and loving the broad, rough exploration in her mouth.

Jess's nipples raked through Holly's furred breasts, their nipples rubbing and pressing into each other as Holly angled her hips, lining that tool up before with a thrust, piercing Jessica's folds.

Jess's back arched into the bedding, mouth open to moan before Holly caught it in a kiss again before pulling away. “Shh, our son will hear," her voice having a much deeper, huskier tone when aroused set her heart hammering and wanted to climax then and there but held herself, wanting to feel that eight inch tool deep within her.

Nodding, they resumed their play, Jess's panting growing in pitch and frequency as Holly thrust inch after loving inch into her hot depths, her walls squeezing and clenching lovingly around the hollow phallus.

“You're close Jess," Holly whispered into her ear, “I can feel your walls quivering," she ran her tongue up her neck, over her chin, ending in another facsimile of a kiss.

“Yes, please faster, harder!" Jess gasped into the kiss as she wrapped her arms around her furred shoulders, feeling her go the full length into her hot folds.

“Gladly," she growled before thrusting faster and harder, causing the bedframe to rock and shake before they both climaxed, Holly filling her womb up with femcum and Jess's walls gripping, milking her hungrily into her, finishing in a chorus of low hyena howls and human moans.

Holly thrust weakly into her a few more times as her own climax slowed to a stop before relaxing into her, arms around each other as they basked in the afterglow.

“Mmh still think this was a mistake?" Holly said teasingly, punctuated by a soft hyena laugh.

Staring back into her face with an expression that was equal parts loving and pleasure, she whispered to her, “Never a mistake," before they rubbed noses with each other.
