EPISODE 30 – THE INVITATION “Oh, you mean Villion?” he responded, immediately catching on.“I guess… yeah. It’s probably him.”He let out a quiet chuckle. “You have quite the sharp eye. I've asked the same question to hundreds of women across our territory, and do you know what most of them said? Villion. Almost all of them chose him. And now you, a human, picked him too.”I tilted my head, curious. “Do you get upset when people don’t choose you?”“Of course not. Why would I be angry? I’m not that immature,” he said plainly, yet with a calm confidence. “One of the reasons I respect Villion is because he’s always been the most admired member of our pack…”I exhaled in relief, his answer easing the tension.“Do you like flowers?”The sudden shift caught me off guard. “There are wild, beautiful blooms growing in this part of the forest,” he continued. “Would you like me to pick some for you?”I didn’t really understand why he would do something like that. What would I even do with flow
EPISODE 29 – ALPHA RAGNAR I was gasping for breath, chasing after my own lungs, as cold water streamed down my face and dripped from my soaked hair onto the floor. All around me, I could feel the trembling of the slaves in the kitchen. They stood frozen in fear, as if paralyzed, squeezing themselves into the corners as much as they could. The dining hall, which had been deafeningly loud just moments ago because of the overly energetic warrior beasts, was now dead silent. Not a single sound reached my ears. I had almost drowned. If the beast hadn't shown up, I would probably be dead by now. But maybe, that would've been a better way to die. Drowning is less brutal than being eaten alive, I guess. "Let me help you." I heard a voice as the beast named Ragnar stepped forward. He bent down slightly, reaching out one of his thick, veiny hands toward me. I just stared at it, unsure whether or not I should take it. But before I could decide on my own, he grabbed my left hand and yank
EPISODE 28 – ALPHA RAGNAR "So go ahead," I added. "I’ve got a lot to finish in the kitchen. Bite me now, so you can enjoy your last moment right before you lose your sense of taste... and that big smile of yours."His grip finally loosened.With a rough shove, he pushed my hand away from him. "Get out of here!" His voice echoed through the room.I didn’t expect that my words would actually get through to him. I thought for sure he’d sink his teeth into me anyway. Somehow, I managed to stop him.With that, I turned and walked away from their table, fully aware that every pair of beastly eyes was still fixed on me.It was obvious from the way they looked at me, they all wanted a taste. But they were holding themselves back. As soon as I stepped back inside the kitchen, I was greeted by Kira, who was already laughing under her breath. “I can’t believe it... You actually survived Zenor,” she said with a smirk, shaking her head. “You are really... really something. You’ve got guts.”She
EPISODE 27 – WARRIOR VS. SLAVE The moment it hit me, I felt a warm liquid trickling from the wound, sliding slowly down my cheek until it dripped off my chin. I already knew what it was. My blood. I took a deep breath and held in the pain, forcing myself to stay silent."Do you have any idea how long I’ve been waiting for you?!" Kira screamed. "I’ve been telling that old hag to track you down and drag you here! Look at the sink!"She pointed with a sharp, accusing finger. The sink was once again overflowing with filthy dishes, piled high like a mountain of chaos. As she ranted, the other slaves kept their heads down, busy preparing food for the noisy, impatient warriors in the dining hall."Wash all of that right now unless you want me to rip the nails off your hands!" she barked, her voice echoing across the kitchen.I lowered my head and walked toward the sink, trying to keep myself together even as the throbbing pain from the wound on my forehead pulsed harder with each step. I sp
EPISODE 26 – THE HARD GREETING I caught the way his brow twitched at my answer. His grip tightened around the handle of his teacup, the veins on the back of his large hand bulging slightly with tension.“If you’re capable of behaving,” he growled. “Then why don’t you do it with me?”“Because…” I paused, eyes narrowing just a little. "You actually look nicer and calmer than they do.”His left eyebrow twitched again.“That’s one of those compliments I don’t appreciate,” he said through clenched teeth. “Makes me want to let you meet the other Alphas, just so they can teach you a lesson.”I stood from my seat and dusted off the front of my dress. “Can I leave now? I want to go back the the slave's den. I am not comfortable here."“If there’s a carriage parked behind the hideout, a male slave will escort you back to your den.”“Alright,” I replied and turned my back on him without waiting for another word.“What a bratty slave… doesn’t even know how to say thank you,” I heard him mutter u
EPISODE 25 It seemed like this four-eyed beast should be drinking something cool like some iced juice or cold water, rather than that steaming hot tea in his hand. It seems like his blood is boiling. “The breakfast you requested has arrived, Alpha Bruno.” I heard a woman's voice.I instinctively turned my head toward the door when I heard the voice. Two slaves had entered the room, their heads slightly bowed, pushing a sleek serving cart in our direction. Balanced on top of it were various dishes, each one fragrant and piping hot, so enticing it felt like they could churn the hunger in my stomach just by their scent alone.I swallowed hard. I hadn't eaten since last night. The hunger had been clawing at me since then.“You won’t be allowed to leave my den unless you finish every single thing on that tray,” the beast said with a tone of authority that filled the room. The slaves stopped at the left side of the center table. I didn’t respond to him, I was too preoccupied watching them
