#Chapter3
EMMA'S POV
Silky jet black hair that fell until his shoulder. Fine facial features that seemed to have been sculpted by the angels. An alluring body that was enveloped by a majestic aura.
It was a beauty that I have never seen before. For a second, I was stunned silly before immediately looking down and avoiding his stare. Inside my chest, my heart started beating like moving helicopter blades.
'So... dangerous,' I thought to myself. With just one glance, I already noticed how dangerous this man was compared to every werewolves that I have seen before. He was of a different level, a class of his own.
If the werewolves were the elite beings, he was akin to their supreme lord, the one who held the whole world with the palm of his hand. I stayed silent as even the air in the room seemed to suffocate me.
/"Who are you?/" I heard him ask. His voice was low and deep, lethal yet melodious.
I moved my mouth to speak yet no words came out. My mind was blank for the first time in my life.
Suddenly, I felt my body moving and in a blink of an eye, I was pinned on the wall. I shivered as I felt its coldness on my back.
/"Answer,/" he spoke in a voice that was almost a whisper. Instantly, goosebumps appeared on my arms.
/"I- I am.../" I stuttered but could not finish my sentence. /"My name is Emma,/" I stammered after a great effort.
The man did not answer me. However, I felt burning hot fingers grasping my chin and making me look up. His fingers were forceful and yet gentle. I had no choice but to lift my head and meet his eyes.
Suddenly, I was engulfed by his beautiful, light amber orbs that appeared to be golden. I felt a shock in my body as if strings were being pulled in my soul. My heart that was already beating erratically skipped several beats.
'So beautiful,' was the only thing that I thought as I was imprisoned by his ethereal eyes.
The man seemed to have been equally startled as his eyes slightly widened.
/"Emma?/" he softly called out my name and my heart trembled. Slowly, he lowered down his head and leaned down on me until our faces were only a few inches away from each other. At that moment, I felt the time froze and the world stopped revolving for a moment. However, in the next second, the man let me go and in a blink of an eye, he was already standing far away in the other corner of the room.
/"Leave!/" He harshly told me. At the same time when he spoke, the rope restraining my wrists fell off, setting me free.
I was greatly startled. The beautiful man looked at me but it seemed as if he was not seeing me. His body started to be covered with a frosty aura as if utmost terror was about to erupt. I, who had always been calm in all situations, started to shake from fright.
The man seemed to have noticed my fear and for some reason, the intimidating atmosphere around him lessened.
/"Leave, now!/" The man repeated his order. His voice was slightly shaky as if he was restraining himself with great effort.
My body acted on instinct and my shaky legs started to run to the door. Halfway through it, however, I heard a low growl which halted my steps. I looked at the man and saw that he fell on his knees and was clutching his heart as if he was in great pain.
/"Ah,/" I let out a soft gasp as I saw his body start to tremble. His body that was bursting with power just now suddenly looked so pale.
'When the old lady said that he has an illness.... she was telling the truth,' I thought to myself as I watched the man in front of me suffer. 'And she also said... that I am his cure.'
'No! It has nothing to do with me. I have to get out of here!' I admonished myself and took a couple of steps towards the door. However, I once again stopped when I heard a thump on the ground.
'Oh, darn it!' I couldn't help but swear before turning around and walking towards the man. There, I saw him slumped on the floor and was clutching his chest tightly. His face looked very pale and beads of sweats were on his forehead. He was breathing in a shallow manner, as if he was gasping for air.
For some reason, my heart felt pain when I saw him suffering.
'Werewolves are entities filled with magic and the medical knowledge that I know is probably not going to be helpful to him. Moreover, the old woman earlier was probably a werewolf healer,' I thought as I slowly approached the man who was overwhelmed with pain.
'She told me to serve him well. From the provocative dress they put me on, there is no question that they wanted me to give my virginity to this man.'
My hands formed into fists as I furrowed my brows. I was but a normal ordinary girl without any real-life romantic experience. I did not want to easily give my body to a man who I didn't even know.
However, seeing this man in pain left a bitter taste in my mouth.
I hated it. I hated to see him in pain.
'Ah! Whatever! She told me that they will erase my memory about this later. I will just do it!'
Decided, I slowly approached the beautiful man and softly held him on his shoulder. /"I... I can help you,/" I told him.
Suddenly, my eyes got blurry and when they got cleared again, I was already laying in the bed with the beautiful man hovering on top of me.
Unlike earlier, his golden eyes looked so dark as if he was a starved beast that was about to let out.
/"Remember this, I gave you a chance,/" he told me in a ragged whisper. /"It's you who came to me,/" he added before his hot lips captured mine.
