The next day I woke up alone, with the sun shining in my eyes, and my shoulders sore from having slept with my arms stretched above my head. As I expected, I was alone in bed, the only sign that someone had slept beside me being the crumpled sheets and the lingering, heady scent of sweat and seed. I stood up in bed and studied my bruised wrists. They didn’t hurt much, and if I covered them with long sleeves, nobody would see the thin, red marks. I got out of bed, eager to meet the white bear and try to figure out if he knew anything about what had happened the night before.

Saying that was a strange day would be an understatement. My bear husband was waiting for me in the huge, imposing dining room, where we had breakfast and talked about unimportant things. He asked me how I slept and didn’t say anything when I gave him a simple, dismissive answer. I kept waiting for him to say something, anything that might have shown me he was aware of the existence of my mysterious lover. I had a weird feeling that he was more than aware of my lustful night; that he had actually planned it and sent the mysterious man to offer me the carnal pleasures he couldn’t offer me himself. I entertained this idea for a while that day, then realized how ridiculous it sounded. I was acting like a silly, naïve girl. My mysterious lover might as well have been a servant in the castle, a clever young man who saw a great opportunity to enjoy the body of a beautiful woman and took it. The thought didn’t bother me in the least. After all, I myself was a lowly lass who had been starving and freezing in a wreck of a cottage just two days before. No matter what the truth was, I decided not to tell the white bear anything and wait until I could learn more about my new home and my husband, whoever that was: the beast before me, or the man I would spend all my nights with.

After breakfast, the white bear showed me the rest of the castle, took me to the topmost level to see the balconies, showed me the impressive library, and introduced me to all his maids and servants. I studied the male servants with interest, but none of them seemed to be as tall, strong, and muscular as I was sure my secret lover was. He could still be someone living in the castle and hiding from me during the day, but time would tell if my theory was correct. For now, I decided I might as well go along with it. At least I couldn’t complain my life was boring.

And that was how I began my strange, yet exciting adventure inside the mountain, far away from civilization. Some days, the white bear would take me out into the woods and even let me hunt for pleasure.
