Beast in the Hidden Greenery

For centuries, the legend of the monsters dwelling in the forbidden forest known as "Hidden Greenery" has been passed down from one generation to the next. However, despite the persistent belief, these creatures have never been seen for quite some time. They may have gone into hiding, or maybe they were forced out by humans who deemed themselves as righteous, while labeling anything different or unusual as evil. Humans have their own ways of distinguishing evil from good. And for Yuri, those who wronged her will always be the villains in her life. "Yuri, how are you feeling?" Simon asked with concern etched on his face. Yuri tilted her head and met his gaze before nodding in response. However, her attention quickly shifted to the raindrops cascading down the car window, mirroring the melancholy that weighed heavy on her heart. Yuri and her friends had embarked on a camping trip to lift her spirits. Unfortunately, the weather seemed to have other plans, drenching them in a downpo

Drip, drip, drip.The cold water dripping down on Yuri’s forehead gently opened her eyes. Gradually, her senses were awakened by the soft glow of light that surrounded her, causing her vision to become slightly blurred.The first thing that caught her eye was the sight of the tree roots above her, glistening with water droplets. Yuri jolted awake, disoriented and confused. She quickly scanned her surroundings, trying to piece together where she was."Where am I?" she muttered, her head throbbing with pain.As she struggled to sit up, she let out a groan of discomfort. But to her surprise, she realized that her body was no longer cold. In fact, she was covered in a thick cloth that provided warmth and comfort.Looking around, she spotted a bonfire burning nearby, casting a warm glow over the area. But she was alone.‘My friends aren’t here yet.’ Then, she remembered the man she saw before losing consciousness.“Was it him?”At the same time, a rustling sound was heard. She raised her

“Mikhail.”“Hmm?”“If you want to know more about those feelings, I can help you.”It was a stake. Yuri didn’t even know why she was offering this to Mikhail. But he saved her life and comforted her unknowingly when she gave up living.Chase will marry someone else and take his soon-to-be bride to bed. Yuri thought there was nothing wrong with having a relationship with another man. At the back of her head, she wanted to take revenge on Chase.‘If he has another woman, why can’t I have another man too?’ she thought.Mikhail doesn’t seem like a human. Nonetheless, Yuri doesn’t see a problem with that at all.He’s handsome, and he seemed kind.‘Perhaps it will be worth it to give my body to a man like him,’ a desperate thought of a brokenhearted woman.“Are you telling me you will allow me to do everything I want with you?” Mikhail asked.With her heart beating so fast, Yuri nodded.Mikhail gazed deeply into her luscious, rounded eyes and saw his own reflection staring back at him.Is t

Yuri’s POV“What are you, Mikhail?”“I am a werewolf.” The “Hidden Greenery” sure holds the biggest secret in the world.I looked at the man who claimed to be a beast – something I only heard from my friends who lived with their fantasies in books.Never did I try reading a werewolf story because I never believed they existed, nor did I want to convince myself of it? But here I am, sitting before an open book of mystery.“Don’t tell me you’ll be taking me to the Pack because I’ll be eaten?” I managed to crack a joke to hide my bewilderment.“We don’t eat humans,” Mikhail said. “If we do, then I should have eaten you before. Because you tasted so sweet, Yuri.”The smile on my lips vanished. This man perhaps did not know he was a female swooner. He looks innocent but dangerously sensual because of his sincerity.I forged a cough and looked away from this beast.“I did not cry because you did something wrong,” I confessed. “It was only because I remembered bad memories of Chase. That’s

Mikhail’s POV With Gregor's guidance, Yuri and I were ushered to the Alpha’s house. The male werewolves of the Pack kept on following us from behind as if they were looking for an opportunity to snatch Yuri away from me.I was making sure no one touched her, not even the strand of her hair.“Mikhail,” Yuri whispered.I turned to look at her, my eyes scanning her face for any signs of fear or fear.She had displayed a frightened expression earlier when she saw me growl, but now, Yuri seemed to have regained her composure and was no longer wary of me."Where are we going?" she asked.I leaned closer to her, my nostrils flaring as I caught a whiff of her sweet scent. It distracted me for a moment, but I quickly regained my focus and answered her question."To the Alpha's house," I said."Alpha?" Yuri repeated, her brow furrowing in confusion. "I didn't ask you about that. I know the meaning of Alpha in literature, but I have no idea what an Alpha means in werewolves. My friends might kn
