EMMA'S POV

'It was scary. I thought I was going to die,' I thought to myself before kicking a small rock on the road. It fell on the side bushes and was covered by the grass. 'I don't even know why everyone idolizes and worships these werewolves. They are very dangerous.'

'Thankfully, that werewolf went off right away after I told him my name,' I thought as I felt my body shivered.

/"That was such a hard day,/" I frowned before pulling my jacket tighter on my body. It was already night time and in the sky, the moon was shining brightly. I sighed before I continued my walking towards my dorm room.

Surrounding me were the numerous trees that made the place a green city that could also be considered half-forest. I breathed deeply and took in the fresh scent of the mint from the wood as my body started to relax.

/"But at least, I am having a peaceful night,/" I murmured before a smile started to appear on my face.

That was, at least, what I have thought. However, I couldn't be more wrong.

At that moment, without a warning, I heard someone say, /"Come with us, Emma Hill./" My body froze and my heart started beating erratically, especially when I saw the three werewolves in the campus earlier appeared out of nowhere.

'Come with them?' A chill ran down my spine. 'What do they mean come with them?'

/"Excuse me?/" I muttered as I felt my lips turn cold.

/"Pardon us. But we need you to come with us,/" the man who asked my name earlier said.

'They look serious. Should I make a run for it?' I thought as my hands started shaking. The feeling of fear and dread instantly appeared in my heart. Unfortunately, I was clear that even in my dreams, I would not be able to outrun three werewolves.

With a blink of an eye, the three of them were already a feet away from me. And, without giving me an opportunity to scream, I felt a hit at the back of my head before the darkness consumed my eyesight.

When I opened my eyes, I found that I was laying on a grand, statuesque bed. My body was covered by fine, delicate silk, and my wrists were bound at my back.

/"What!/" I exclaimed before I tried to break free from my restraints. Unfortunately, my wrists were tightly tied together and I miserably failed on my attempt.

/"Human, calm down,/" suddenly, I heard an aged voice. I hurriedly looked at my side and saw a small figure that was covered by a huge hood.

I could not see her face. Yet, from her voice and hands that were exposed, she appeared to be an old woman. A cold sweat started to run down my spine.

'Being kidnapped by three werewolves and waking up to see this kind of situation… Am I in some sort of TV show?' I thought as I tried hard to calm myself down and stop myself from panicking. I bit my lower lip to stop it from shaking before looking at the old woman. Then, with the calmest voice that I could muster, I asked her, /"Where...am I?/"

The old woman was silent for a couple of seconds as if she was observing me. Then, she answered, /"At the master's castle./"

'Master's... castle?' Her words horrified me more.

/"You were taken here to serve as a cure to the master's illness,/" she proceeded to explain to me. /"Human, our master doesn't kill humans unless necessary. After this, we will safely let you go and your life will return to normal,/" she added.

Her words slowly sank in my mind and it took me a few moments before I realized what she meant. Slowly, I forced myself to calm down.

/"What... is his illness?/" I already had an idea in my heart. Yet, I still tried asking her.

Without any warning, the old woman's calm aura became frightening as she harshly told me, /"You don't have a right to know!/"

Immediately, I kept my mouth shut to calm the old woman down.

/"All you need to know is this. When the master wakes up, serve him well./"

/"We will erase your memory and any trace in your body. You will return to your normal life./"

/"But, in the case you offend our master, then we will end your life. Remember it well,/" she told me before waving her hand.

Suddenly, I felt I was floating. And in a blink of an eye, I was already in another room which was much more majestic than the previous one. However, I had no time to admire its grandiose as my eyes were immediately focused in the middle of the room where a gargantuan bed was placed and a man who looked like a fallen angel was sleeping.

'These werewolf scums!' I screamed and cursed in my head. 'Scummiest of the scummiest! Even a worm is better than them!'

At that moment, I wanted to go crazy and destroy everything in the room.

'Why me? How can they do this to me?' I mentally complained. 'What 'cure'? They obviously want to offer me as a sexual sacrifice! They clearly wanted me to give up my virginity to their master!' I closed my eyes and felt a painful throb in my forehead.

'What to do?' Hurriedly, I looked at the windows and door of the room which was tightly shut. 'Can I even escape?' I thought as I started to walk towards one of the windows.

A fews steps towards the window, however, I felt the air around me go stiffer. Suddenly, I had an ominous feeling in my heart.

Slowly, I turned around and looked back at the bed, only to see the beautiful man had already woken up and was looking at me like a starved beast.
