Red Stripes On The Silver Moon

Ep 6

Freya's POV

My heartbeat raced faster and I could feel my skin turning cold.

"I'll die?" I asked him in a trembling voice, as I stared at him with my eyes wide open.

Perhaps my guess from the start is actually the truth, "He must be a Vampire". Maybe he brought me here to enjoy his breakfast without anyone disturbing him, perhaps I finally landed in the hand of a predator.

My headaches terribly, as I stared at him with wide eyes.

"Yes, you will die.......if you don't have my wolf marble removed from your belly in time. You'll die", he replied.

"He's a lunatic", I concluded.

I'm sure a nineteen-year-old girl like me wouldn't have eaten a stone without knowing, it's quite impossible.

"Right, I haven't introduced myself yet. I Am A Wolf. Your world called it Lycanthrope", he replied in a serious tone which got me much more confused. At least, people don't normally joke these days with such absurd fairy tales.

"Ooooh...I see", I replied to him as I started moving slightly backward with my back.

Seeing this, he smirked at me with his stunning face which made my heart gallop

"You don't believe me?" He asked.

"Noo...I do", I replied to him quickly before he could complete his words, moving faster now.

"So you're a werewolf.....I mean those mythological beasts we read in tales. And I swallowed your wolf marble last night, right? Then I'm thinking of going for surgery and returning it for you since it's inside my stomach", I muttered deceitfully, thinking of all possible ways to get out of there faster.

One Mistake I will never make is sitting and conversing with a lunatic. Of course, it's obvious that he isn't a vampire, but a lunatic.

I'm a few steps to exit the room when he said

"It's not in your stomach"

I halted immediately.

"It has already placed itself in your body," he added.

Still confused I asked

"Then what should I do?"

"I'll have to find a way, This means we're on the same boat now. We have a common purpose, taking out the Marble. Therefore, let's cohabitate for a while".

"COHABITATE?"

I gasped repeatedly with astonishment, as I was about to run out of the room.

"What are you saying? You want me to move here with you? I asked him with disbelief.

Now I knew I guessed right, he's a lunatic indeed. A mad man at the best. How could a grown-up guy request a young girl like me to live with him? Such a badass he is, he must be actually trying to make a pass at me after laying his hands on my buttocks last night without me snarling at him, perhaps he wants to give it a taste, men are the same.

My heart was full of anger, I wished to pounce on him heavily and bite his ear off.....if only I had the chance to.

"I understand how you're flustered, but we are strangers, and that Marble is very dear to me. Don't you think I'd only be rest assured to always have you before me?", He asked me rhetorically.

Of course, he shouldn't be expecting an answer after all that trash coming out of his mouth.

"I can't believe this guy. I'm sorry I ate your fruit or whatever, and I'm thankful for not leaving me out there. But what?....A Werewolf?....... Cohabitate?, Stop talking nonsense", I yelled at him angrily at the top of my voice.

What annoyed me most was his smirk. I was annoyed and hurt to see him smirking in such a situation.

"See? You really don't believe me. But yes, it will be easier to understand once you see it for yourself", this last word of his hooked me. Now I was more curious and desperate to see whatever he was going to show me before I dropped my last swear and ran.

Ready to run, I picked up my phone and bent down steadily to tie my shoe laces, when I heard him say

"Try not to pass out"

Hearing this, I raised my head to see what he was talking about, only for me to see what I would've never been willing to see.

What I see next is a huge giant monster standing before me. His silver furs were rippling violently, revealing its muscles underneath. His yellowish-green eyeballs shone brightly as they reflected the light.

Everything was cool until my eyes spotted his claws and fangs, which were sharper than daggers as if he was born from hell.

This creature looked frightening enough to scare away every living thing in sight.

I couldn't help but gasp aloud, as my eyes wandered over the beast's muscular body, which seemed ready to rip apart anyone who dared approach.

I could sense the movement of my heart beating rapidly as if it wanted to escape through my throat.

My eyes were glued onto him, as I saw the transformation happen slowly and smoothly. As if it wasn't real, as if I was hallucinating, seeing things that aren't there.

"I might die at this rate", the words escaped my lips.

What surprised me most were the scars embedded underneath his silver furs, some parts of his body were completely ripped off, and others missing altogether, which made him look grotesque.

I tried hard not to scream or cry out loud, instead I kept silent and watched him howl magnificently as his jaws parted open to reveal row upon row of razor-sharp teeth.

His golden furs rose proudly, making him appear menacing and ferocious.

My mind went blank. All I know is that I have to flee from here and fast.

That instant, I felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if someone pushed me down from behind, my legs parted and I swiveled backward. I was about to hit my head on the floor when a hand grabbed my waist tightly and pushed me towards itself.

So fast as if he flickered, I could feel the sensation of his touch all over my body, as his hot breath blew across my cheek, sending shivers down my spine. The sweet scent of his musk filled my nose, causing me to gag and choke slightly.

He moved his head closer to me and whispered in his monstrous voice into my ear

"You'll wake up after four hours……"
