When I opened my eyes, I found myself laying down on a king size bed inside an unfamiliar room.
“W-Where am I?”
Shallow breaths escaped from my quivering lips as I looked around the space.
‘This isn’t my room.’
I shut my eyes and tried to remember what happened last night.
‘Well, last night, I went to my friend’s engagement party and then…’
“Chandler Wayne,” I murmured as I opened my eyes widely.
Last night, a man named Chandler Wayne brought me inside the comfort room and kissed me. After that, he said…
[“Your eyes. It changed color.”]
‘He saw my eyes changed color!’
“Impossible. Impossible!” I gasped while putting my hands on my head.
When I checked the calendar, there is no full moon yesterday. So why? Why did my eyes changed their color last night?
Barely gulping my saliva, I looked around the luxurious place and wondered how they hell did I get here. Next, I checked my body and found out that I am still clothed.
“R-Right. It w-was weird that I kissed that guy last night but I was sobered. There’s no way I shared a night with him,” I spoke as I hugged myself.
Silence reigned as nerve-wrecking as it can be.
While looking at the blank space, I remembered him swinging his had to me and then all went black.
Slowly, I held my neck which slightly throbbing.
“Did he… knock me out?”
If he knocked me out and brought me here by force, then I was kidnapped?
Tears prickled at the corner of my eyes. I shivered in cold, thinking what will happen to me in the future.
‘Am I getting sold? Is he a part of gang?’
I broke into a sweat and my heart pounded, threatening to burst forth from my ribcage. I was still hoping that this is just a part of my unwanted nightmares but no matter how many times I slapped my cheeks until they got swollen, I found myself still here in the cold place.
I could feel my heart in my throat as I looked around this eerie room. My body is in lowest temperature but inside, there is a fire, like I might combust any moment and there is a march deep in the pit of my stomach.
‘Please. I just wanna go home.’
As I tried to calm myself, I looked at the door of the room.
My knees were shaking when I tried to move out of the bed.
Step. Step. Step.
Even the sounds from my feet became a thousand times louder, just like my breath and the pounding inside my chest.
Bit by bit, I raised my hand and reached for the doorknob, but before I could open it, the doorknob turned.
Gulp.
Every bone in my body shut down as I made one step backward in front of the opening door.
Then, we made eye contact.
In front of me, there is a guy with long blonde hair which he tied with a hair band. He has charming double eyelids, purple eyes, straight nose and think pinkish wet lips which parted as he stared at me in surprise.
“Oh? You’re awake,” he said with a think sweet voice that can melt the hardest rock in the world.
I started shaking. I looked at him, not daring to move a muscle.
‘Maxine. Think now. Think how’ll you survive from this kidnapper.’
My eyes looked around the space. I saw nothing that I can use to defend myself. Naturally, my sight went to my feet, then to the man’s crotch.
‘Shall I give it a try?’
“If you are thinking of kicking my b*lls then you should think twice,” he said with chuckles.
Wide eyed, I looked back at his face with a gape.
‘How did he know…’
“Stop thinking about escaping. And instead, go take a bath,” he said before he threw a clean and new clothes on my face.
I did not catch the clothes and let it fell down on the floor.
‘What is this? Why suddenly asking me to change clothes?’
“W-Who are you? W-Where am I? What are you going to do with me? How did I get here?!” I said while quivering and with stiffened shoulder.
Then man tilted his head and said, “Are you practicing of making ‘Wh’ questions?”
Is he teasing with me?
This b*stard.
“Hey, Brett. What’s taking you so long?” another voice came.
Then suddenly, a man with black hair appeared along with the blonde guy. He has rounded deer red eyes with long lashes. His skin is as pale as snow I thought he doesn't have any blood left but his natural red lips told me he's alive.
“She’s awake,” the man murmured when he saw me.
“I was asking her to go take a bath but she won’t listen to me,” the blonde guy said to the black-haired man. “Should I use a force?”
“Are you crazy?” The black hair replied with nonchalant gaze. “Chandler said that we should handle her with care.”
CHANDLER WAYNE!
HE’S REALLY THE ONE WHO BROUGHT ME HERE!
“Chandler Wayne!” I shouted.
The two men looked at me.
“Where is he? Where is that bastard who…”
I stopped talking when the two men glared at me with their bright colored eyes. There eyes are literally burning, as if live flames reside inside them.
“How dare you called him bastard? You pathetic human,” The blonde guy said before I heard him growl.
Growl?
“Watch your mouth, human,” the black hair guy added.
What is this?
Their eyes don’t seem like they belong to human.
They are…
Are…
‘They resemble mine.’
Unconsciously, my feet stepped backward away from these unknown creatures in front of me.
“W-Who are you?” I murmured while trembling.
No.
My question is wrong.
“W-What are you?”
At my question, both of their eyes returned back to normal. And then, Chandler Wayne finally appeared.
“I see that my Luna is finally awake,” Chandler said while smiling at me.
Luna?
What is he talking about?
Luna.I first heard that word when I was talking with my co-worker in the coffee shop.“An alpha's mate is called a Luna and is the female equal to the alpha,” Madelline said while we were cleaning inside the empty shop early in the morning. She’s been talking about werewolves since long minutes since I told her that I don’t know anything about werewolves which only lives in fictional world and myths. As a result, Madelline insisted to explain all things about werewolves including their rankings and so on. Truthfully, I could not remember the exact details except the words Alphas, Beta and Delta. Madelline loves reading a fictional werewolves stories and so, she believes they actually exist, which made me laugh. “So they are like this some kind of mafia where there is a leader in the pack, right?” I asked while mopping the floor. Madelline burst out of laughing. “What mafia are you talking about? You should not compare werewolves to human.” “But you said that werewolves are half
Third Person’s POV Brett, the alpha wolf from Holmes clan pack, brought Maxine inside the spacious luxury bathroom filled with gold.Maxine had no time to appreciate the surroundings as the first thing that she heard from Brett was dumbfounded her.“Strip.”Maxine had assumed that this guy is crazy, and yet, dealing him alone brought her an unprepared shock. She was not mere surprised, she was startled.She forced herself into sort of resignation, as if thinking that she might have heard him wrong. However…“Strip now.”As he repeated his command, Maxine knew she had not got over the sickening shock and the flurry of her misfortune.Her blood ran cold as she stepped back. She dragged her wobbling feet backward from him as the chill haze of suspicion began to crystallize.‘This man is mad. Not only I was kidnapped by beasts but they are also telling me to strip?!’ inwardly, she screeched in terror with a pounding heart.“Oh?” Brett murmured, crossing his arms and tilting his head. “I
Adam and Chandler stayed on the living room, drinking tea together as they wait for Brett, They kept silent for long minute until Adam came up with a question. “How did you find her?” Slowly and elegantly, far from his ferocious form as wolf, Chandler placed the teacup on the table. He held Adam’s gaze which a smile that somehow reassuring. And then, he answered. “Will you believe me if I say that I saw her by coincidence?” Adam placed his cup on the table. He rested his elbows on his knees and lifted gaze to his friend. “I don’t think you would lie about that.” Chandler grinned and chuckled. “But I have doubts if she’s really the Luna that we’ve been looking for,” Adam continued while wearing a perturbed expression. “I can understand you,” Chandler agreed. “Although I clearly saw the changing of her eyes, it is hard to detect her presence as wolf. She seemed really like a human. And based on her question, she hasn’t no idea about us.” “Which means, she hasn’t learned to trans
Maxine’s POV I never had a boyfriend. Instead of using my time to date in spring or to find a partner whom I can exchange with countless ‘I love you’, I focused on my study and finding part-time job while waiting for opportunity to come in my way. However, the bachelorette like me dared to lie to my college classmates, saying that I have a rich boyfriend named Chandler Wayne. ‘Pride is the trap of ego pleasure.’ I read that line in a book of Kevin Everett FitzMaurice. And I thin he is right. The pride which made me lie became a trap. It is like a spider web, making it had for me to move which thereby might lead to my death and eaten by. Lying that I am in relationship with Chandler Wayne has trapped me, and as of now, I am unable to do anything according to my will. I regretted a lot. The first thing that came to me when I woke up in an unfamiliar place is repent. ‘I will never lie about my relationship,’ I vowed this. However… “He will be so shocked that I brought my gir
Maxine’s POV There’s a lot of take over in my life that started with a lie. I met the real Chandler Wayne, got kidnapped, met werewolves and now… “This one and this one. And here too.” A handsome man named Brett brought me inside a luxury boutique. I am still a captive but there’s a twist. The kidnapper and the hostage are shopping together. And why? ‘Because from today onwards, I am Brett’s girlfriend. A beast’s girlfriend.’ This is insane. “Here.” “Ahh!” I winced as I was snapped out after he threw me bunch of branded clothes onto my palms that I can barely hold them all. I looked at the clothes in my arms and had my eyes wide opened. ‘All of these looks expensive!’ For a moment, I was blinded and thought that maybe, there’s benefit on staying by this rich men. It did not take me long to get back to the reality that my life is at stake and I shouldn’t be taken by my greed. ‘No matter how pretty and expensive these are, it don’t change the fact that my life is at risk.’

Th
5 hours ago… “Brett had to pretend as her boyfriend,” Chandler said. Brett and Adam who were sitting on the sofas across Chandler, looked at the man who suggested the deed. Just a moment ago, Isaac accidentally saw Maxine in Chandler’s house and heard that she’s Brett’s girlfriend. And so, they need to come up with a plan to cover the identity of her, which is taking the role of Brett’s lover. “So, dating female humans came handy at times like this,” Brett chuckled. If the pack finds out that they are keeping a human female in Chandler’s house, at the top of that, as a lover, all will find it odd. Therefore, they chose Brett who is known for dating human outside the pack. This is also the reason why Brett thought of using himself as excuse. “Do we need to keep it until we can prove that she’s a Luna?” Adam, who looks a bit worried about this, asked. Chandler seek at his friend’s perturbed expression. In some way, he can understand why Adam sounds indecisive in this plan.
Maxine crouched in the shadow inside the room where she first woke up after she was kidnapped. Every sound was analyzed repeated until something else demanded her attention.It was a cool evening with good breeze of Autumn. But inside her body, a winter cold tensed her muscles, and she lost sense of how long she’d been crouching there in the corner. Crouching for too long, the cramp began to take it. Yet, she dared not move to ease her pain. She focused at the pounding of her anxious heart as she waited for the next thing that will happen.‘This day feels so long,’ she said internally.Gradually, she looked at the tight surveillance lurking around her. It is the werewolf with black hair, red lips and rounded deer-like eyes. He is guarding her without showing sighs of heedlessness.When Adam caught Maxine staring at him, his natural red-lips detached.“Why?”With difficulty, Maxine avoided his red eyes. Breathing out for a second, she said, “N-Nothing.”After a while, Chandler’s eyes p
