ââ¦Acryl fled across the eastern mountain range before reaching this mansion.â
And so, his voice low and quiet, he began to explain how the two of them first met.
Hunger.
It was hard to breathe, and I thought my consciousness would fade forever from starvation.
My body was exhausted, my throat parched. But I forced my legs to carry me forward step by step.
I had to go farther, farther away. Anywhere not here. I had to leave this place.
That was all I could think about. Unable to dwell on anything else, I dragged my tired body forward.
ââ¦Ah.â
I kept walking on and on, until I found a huge, rickety house. Something smelled goodâenough to make my stomach growl.
Foodâ¦
I hadnât had anything decent to eat in days. I could feel my mouth filling with drool.
That tantalizing smell drew me toward the building. There were no guards in sight, making it easy to sneak inside.
â¦I sense people.
The house looked dilapidated, but the interior was clean and tidy.
There were signs of habitation, but I couldnât see anyone. Hiding my presence as best I could, I proceeded forward.
At last, I arrived at the source of the smell. What looked like a full meal was there laid out before meâand the moment I saw it, something caught in my throat.
I canât take it anymore!
I was hungrier than Iâd ever been, and my brain could barely keep up. I jumped for the food on the table, throwing away every last shred of caution.
âI see we have a rare visitor.â
ââ¦?!â
A voice sounded behind meâbut before I could look over my shoulder, the world turned upside down.
Before I knew it, a rope of water had wrapped itself around my body, binding my arms together. Then, still upside-down, a young man appeared.
His platinum hair was disproportionately bright for someone who lived in this eerie old mansion, and his face was so well proportioned (with ominous crimson eyes) that I couldnât look away.
Those eyes brought back unpleasant memories, sending shivers down my spine. But this wasnât the time for fear. I snarled and howled, âLet me go! Release me, cur!â
ââ¦So now you talk? Youâre a lively one, for an intruder.â The youth sighed with amazement.
The next moment, he reached out and touched my headâor more precisely, my ears.
ââ¦Are these real?â he asked after poking them a few times.
âDo not touch me!â
I shook the manâs hand away. Those were my wolf ears, the same color as my hair. Only relatives were allowed to touch them, and he hadnât even asked permission.
I glared across at him, disgust welling inside me, and I did my best to look and sound as menacing as possible.
The man, however, continued to observe me carefully. âAre you a werewolf? Noâ¦you look more human than that.â
âI am no werewolf! I am a proud Lycant!â
âAnd why would a proud Lycant try to steal food? What gives you the right to sneak into other peopleâs houses and help yourself to their meals?â
âUghâ¦,â I groaned. The manâs point was so obvious that I couldnât respond.
A second later, my stomach let out a wistful growl.
