Chapter 6

In the room, Steven looked very frustrated, he had done it, he didn't know why but he could no longer restrain himself when he was with Clara at that time. He did. Steven stood in front of the mirror and looked at his messy self. He cleaned his mouth which was full of blood and could still taste the sweetness of Clara's blood at that moment.

“Shit!! Who's she?" Steven said.

Since the first time he saw Clara in the glass box, Steven felt different, his eyes continued to pay attention to Clara's beauty, which looked different from the others.

Clara's innocence amazed him, even the wolf inside Steven agreed that Clara had something special, which he only saw as a wolf. When Steven touched her body, he felt like he had met his soulmate, his eyes shone beautifully when he looked at Clara, emerald green, a color that Steven had never shown to any woman before.

But Clara's presence can make Steven become the Alpha he should be, touching Clara with his heart, not his lust.

Clara was still lying in bed, Eva came in to bring her lunch, her condition was much better, Clara even looked much prettier than before, her skin was glowing, her cheeks were rosy, and her lips also stood out because they looked supple and plump.

"Miss Clara, lunch is ready," Eva said and Clara turned to Eva before approaching her.

"Thank you, Eva," Clara said.

“You welcome Miss Clara, How do you feel? Your wound looks better,” Eva said.

"It's not good, but...it's not bad either, I feel strange with myself, I think there was something he gave me when he bit me, Who is he? He was like a monster, his eyes turned emerald, and…he—”

"Miss Clara, no one knows who Mr. Steven is, but we've heard rumors that he is a werewolf, but I can't confirm the truth of that rumor, No one can confirm it because they don't want to deal with him," Eva said.

"What? Werewolf? Do you mean, wolf? Real wolf? But isn't that just a myth? They're not real," Clara said.

“No one believes those rumors but you've seen it yourself, right? And when he came out of your room, we were shocked too because it was the first time we had seen him that messy with blood in his mouth," Eva said.

“But…but what about me? I mean, he bit me,” Clara said.

"Miss Clara, I don't know what happened after he bit you but believe me you looked better after he bit you," Eva said.

"What do you mean?" Clara said.

“Don't you feel much better in your body too?” Eva said and Clara fell silent because what Eva said was true.

Clara had been there for almost a month, locked up in a room that felt like hell to her, but after that incident, Steven never saw her, no one knew why. Clara also couldn't just breathe a sigh of relief, because she was still a prisoner.

Clara doesn't lack anything there, apart from the figure of her parents and love. She felt very lonely, she could only talk to Eva at every meal. Eva helped her, and every time Eva was there, Clara felt like she wasn't alone, even though she still felt lonely.

That morning Clara woke up from a nightmare about her parents, She saw her parents die in front of her because of an attack by something very dangerous.

Clara's screams made Eva and Bob go into the room because they were worried about something bad happening to Clara. But they only saw Clara sitting on her bed. Eva asked Bob to come back out and she approached Clara.

“Morning Miss Clara, what happened? Why are you screaming? Are you okay?” Eva said.

"I...I miss my parents, I dream bad things about them," Clara said.

"It was just a dream Miss Clara," Eva said.

"Yes I know but it felt very real, something attacked them and killed them, It felt real to me, Eva," Clara said and cried.

"Miss Clara, it's okay, it was just a dream, you don't need to worry, I will make hot tea for you," Eva said and she left Clara's room.

But for Clara, the dream felt very real, like a warning to her, She knew this had something to do with Steven, he is someone who has very strong power, he can do anything in an instant.

When Eva entered, she saw Clara standing by her window, looking out.

"Miss Clara, I made hot tea for you, here," Eva gave it to Clara.

"Thank you," Clara said and took a sip of her tea.

“Why am I here? Why should I be here?" Clara said in a cracked voice, Her eyes kept looking out the window with tears streaming down her cheeks.

“Miss Clara, you are the first one who wants to talk to me, Previously, not a single woman ended up like you now, they all tried to escape and ended up horribly at the hands of Mr. Steven, We never know where those women went but let's be honest, he treated you much better than the others, I don't condone his actions, it's wrong, but I also can't help you, no one can help you unless they want to deal with Mr Steven, you're not the only one who misses your parents, we're all prisoners here, I've never seen my parents since I came here to pay their debt, just being a maid here makes me scared, especially since you're close to him, but Miss Clara, I know it's a bad idea but maybe you can try it," Eva said.

"What's that?" Clara said.

“Mr. Steven seems interested in you, even though he hasn't seen you since then, he always asks me to take care of you, make sure you shower and eat on time, It seems like from that moment on, he's no longer Mr. Steven that I and the others knew before, yes he is still cruel as usual but when it comes to you he becomes quite different, I think that's his weakness, you can take advantage of his weakness to get you out of here," Eva said.

"What do you mean? Should I seduce him?” Clara said.

"Hm, maybe you just need to stop fighting and follow what he wants," Eva said.

"But—" The sound of the door suddenly opened and Steven appeared there, making Clara look nervous and scared, that seemed to be the reaction her body had when she saw Steven.

"Oh Mr. Steven, you're home, Miss Clara If there's anything you need, you can call me as usual, excuse me," Eva said and left the room.

"What do you want?" Clara said.

"Nothing, I'm just visiting you," Steven said.

"What?" Clara said.

“Do you feel anything?” Steven said.

"What do you mean?" Clara said.

"Clara, I have to tell you something," Steven approached Clara near the window.

“W-What?” Clara said and felt quite scared when Steven stood in front of her but not only that, she also felt something in her body when she was that close to Steven.

“I've marked you, on your neck, that means, you're mine from now onwards—”

“What? Wait…what do you mean from now onwards?” Clara said.

"You're my mate now, and you will be pregnant soon, You are mine, we will be connected and no one can separate us, no one," Steven said.

“I…I don't know what you mean, but…I—”

"Yes you, if you leave me, you will die and so will I, We were born to be together, so don't even think about leaving me, or leaving this place," Steven said.

“No, I'm not yours, we don't know each other and I'm just a kitten to you! I am not yours!" Clara said.

"You'll admit it soon, when that day comes, you'll be the one chasing me," Steven said and he touched Clara's chin before kissing her and leaving Clara's room, leaving her speechless with tears on her cheeks and her hands clenched into fists.
