LOGIN~Melody~“What?” My eyes widened in shock and surprise.He walked away. How could he? He brought me here. Why act like I don’t matter? For all I know, I could be the cure to whatever disease or problem he has. Although I really don’t care about that, these are his people. The least he could do is say something on my behalf.“How dare he walk away and leave me in this situation?”The anger in me began to brew, and the hope I had earlier vanished immediately. I am beginning to feel stupid. How could I hope that he would do something? I’m sure, to him, I’m just his test subject.On a second thought, even as his test subject, shouldn’t I be regarded as of utmost importance?By now, the voices of the wolves around me sounded distant. I had managed to drown out their voices. The humiliation, the mockery, and all of the questions I was being asked no longer concerned me. Although I was standing there, it felt like I was in a different place entirely.I tried to think of the happy times, but
~Melody~Upon hearing what the noble man had said, everyone began saying, “Yes, yes, yes.” They are all agreed with him and start to whisper to each other once again. I strained my ears so hard to hear them, but I just couldn’t pick any sounds. As I couldn’t hear anything, I decided to retreat back to my room. However, before I could leave, one of the wolves downstairs caught sight of me.“Is that her?” The Nobelman who saw me asked, pointing at my direction.By this time, everyone had begun to pay their attention on me. I felt scrutinized, so I quickly dragged my legs as fast as possible into the comfort of my room.“She is going, someone get her.” A female wolf with a red head shouted.Hearing her voice, panic shot through my bones, and I started to move hurriedly. After hearing the redhead female wolf, the guards got to work to capture me. Thankfully, I got into the safety of my room, the one I had stay in for the past two days and night that I have been here.However, before I cou
“Yes, why didn’t the Lycan king react to me if such a reaction could happen?” I asked myself why I was dragging my feet across the hall.“Could I really be the cure?” The elderly words from before sounded in my head. I can’t believe this is my life now. As I walked across the hall, werewolves gathered in two, some in three groups. I could swear that they are all talking about me.I’m the new shining thing for their amusement. Surprisingly, no one dares to come closer to me. As I was dragging myself farther and farther from the prying eyes of people to the room I stayed in previously, a voice made me pause a little.“Your majesty, why have you brought the girl?” A wolf asked. Hearing this question, I couldn’t rest from the temptation. I walked a bit closer and then I realized that I was standing right in front of the throne room. The Lycan king was seated on the throne and about nine to ten elderly wolves were standing in front of him. I suppose they are discussing about me.“And when
POV: Melody With this question in my mind , I ran as fast as my legs could allow me. I didn’t stop running until my legs ached, until The palace hall blurred into each other looking like stone, gold trim, and tall windows that made everything scream and feel like this a world I didn’t belong to. Well … I’m not supposed to be here . If only I hadn’t stupidly request the Lycan king to take me with him. If only I had been stupid enough …. “ Melody , what were you thinking” as soon as this thought formed in my mind, my legs stopped moving. Then I realized that I’m now in a quieter wing, somewhere the air felt colder… or maybe that was just my fear settling in. I pressed myself against the wall and tried to breathe normally. But my thoughts weren’t normal. “Is she the cure?” The words from the elders echoed again and again, twisting inside my head like something alive. Cure … cure to what? I swallowed hard. Dread had already begun to seep through my bones. Whatever I have gotten
MELODYThe maid's words stayed with me long after she left. The King’s claim? What was that even supposed to mean? I was a person, not some object someone could just put a claim on.I needed to get out of this room that was starting to feel too much like a cage.I walked to the door and tried the handle. It opened. The guards hadn't bothered to lock it after the maid had left. I stepped into the hallway, but didn't get far before two guards started walking toward me.I didn't think, I just ran in the opposite direction."I need to eat! You have to feed me!" I yelled, making it to the end of the hall before I hit a brick wall. I was breathing hard, my heart hammering against my ribs, waiting for them to shove or hit me.But they didn't. The two guards caught up to me, their movements professional.They grabbed my arms, but they were weirdly careful, like they were handling something that might shatter.They started dragging me back, and I kept fighting, trying to pull away even thoug
MELODYThe silence that followed the King's declaration was deafening.My gaze traveled from the floor to his rigid face before settling on my father. His expression, usually so stiff with arrogance, had been completely drained of color."Pardon me, your majesty, but... but you cannot..." My father stuttered, struggling to find the right words."I cannot?" The King repeated, his voice cold. His eyes narrowed as they travelled from my father's shaking lips to his toes."Forgive me, I did not mean to question you," my father stammered, his bravado crumbling. "But my daughter... she is a woman. You..."I knew what my father was driving at. Everyone in the room knew, but they were too terrified to voice it.Why was the Lycan King taking me? Fear settled in the pit of my stomach. Had I traded the role of a secret mistress for something worse?I stole a quick glance at Kael whose mouth hung open in disbelief, and then at Aurora, who looked ready to snap from suppressed rage.The King turned
