02 Take off your clothes

A grand and magnificent black castle stood before me, its gates covered in ancient heraldry and strange symbols.

I felt small, and the unfamiliar surroundings made me feel insecure. I wondered what my aunt had brought me here to do.

A guard intercepted us and I saw my aunt pull a document out of her arms and hand it to the guard.

In the darkness of the night, I couldn't see what was written on the document, but could only vaguely see a few words "sell" and "contract".

Sell what? Who did aunt sign the contract with? A bad feeling washed over me. Could my aunt be selling me?

I remembered what my aunt had said to me in the car:

"It's for your own good that I found a good place for you."

"This is your last value that can bring to me!"

I struggled desperately, hoping to change my fate, but it was all in vain.

No! I couldn't accept being sold off like a commodity!

Mom, Dad, where are you? Please come and save me!

I closed my eyes and my mom and dad's faces came to mind, their warmth and protection.

Mental fear and helplessness came over me like a huge wave, drowning my consciousness. I felt myself plunged into a dark abyss from which there was no escape, and in this moment my sense of uncertainty and despair about the future became clearer and clearer.

The guard read over the contract and scanned me up and down, stepping back and motioning for me to follow him inside.

My aunt grabbed my arm, and she was so strong that I couldn't resist. She shoved me forward with such force that she pushed me into the abyss.

My aunt clapped her hands together without a trace of pity, as easily as if she had gotten rid of a long-stalled piece of cargo.

With her arms crossed and a smug smile on her lips, she said, "I didn't expect this little bitch to fetch a good price!"

The door behind me closed with a dull thud, and my body involuntarily shook with fear.

At this moment, I felt powerless, I was a prisoner ruthlessly driven by fate, becoming a life for sale! My freedom and dignity were all trampled on!

I had no idea what awaited me in the next moment. I didn't even know what this castle was for!

The guards led me through a dark corridor, only faintly lit by candles on the walls, on which some designs were carved.

I squinted my eyes and carefully recognized what appeared to be a wolf pattern! The pattern was exactly the same as the one on the gate!

A bizarre wolf head totem! The mysterious castle! Sharp teeth! Terrifying eyes!

All of this pointed to one word: "wolf"!

"Don't look around! Humans!" The guard scolded me, gripping his nightstick, radiating a threat.

I dared not glance around recklessly, nervously following the guard, feeling my heart pounding violently within my chest, reminding me to be cautious.

I was led through the corridor, and a massive bronze-colored door slowly swung open, introducing me to this mysterious world.

The space had changed dramatically, the marble floors shimmered and were covered with a thick crimson carpet. Huge crystal chandeliers hung high above, casting dappled spots of light.

Sexy, bikini-only women, they twisted their bodies around the sultry bodies of the men around them. The man's hand reached into the woman's bra, and the woman let out an uproarious moan.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing as the man sitting on the couch grabbed the woman's hair and the woman on her knees slumped over his crotch.

Loud music filled the space, surrounded by moans, screams and low growls. I'd heard a low growl like that on TV before; it was the sound of a wolf!

With every step I took, my fear grew. What in the world was this place? I covered my ears to try and block out the horrible sounds, but it didn't do much good.

Through the hallway and up the stairs to the second floor.

To the left and right were rooms with hot-stamped nameplates on the doors, each with a name written on it. What did this mean?

We arrived at the end of the hallway to a room with a nameplate that read "GARYSON"!

The guard knocked on the door, and a voice from inside responded, "Come in."

The guard opened the door and gestured for me to enter, I entered the room with trepidation and then he closed the door.

The room was dimly lit, creating a tense atmosphere that made me swallow nervously.

An old mahogany table was set in the center, and a man sat on a leather upholstered stool. His figure was shrouded in darkness, facing away from me, with a strand of hair gently falling from his nape.

"You're Mera?" he asked, standing up from the stool, turning to look at me, and picking up a file on the table.

"Two years ago your parents died unexpectedly in a car accident and owed large sums of dollars."

"You lost the opportunity to continue your education and dropped out of school to live with your aunt while working part-time at three stores."

"You've had two boyfriends, but I'm not sure you're still a virgin."

This man knew every single thing about me, even how many boyfriends I'd had. I was watched by his blue eyes, as if my heart and intentions were exposed to the other man.

I thought of the gaze of a wolf as it hunts! And I was the wolf's prey! A feeling that there was nowhere to hide!

I calmed down and asked the question on my mind, "Did my aunt sell me? I just want to know the truth."

"You guessed right!" He put down the papers in his hands and walked towards me.

I took a step back, associating myself with the men and women in the hall, and I was overwhelmed with worry about my situation.

"B-But, w-hy? This is illegal!" I screamed, still unwilling to accept reality.

The man grabbed me by the shoulders and leaned in close to my neck, sniffing deeply before giving a satisfied look.

"Human, accept your fate!"

"It is your honor to serve the noble werewolf!"

Werewolf? What is this? Why is this man calling me a human? Including the guards at the door who called me that as well!

It was as if I understood something! The wolf's head totem carved into the gate! A man with special eyes and sharp teeth! A castle far from the city, nestled in the forest!

Are they not human? They were werewolves!

When I came to this conclusion, my breathing stopped for half a minute and my heart beat hard.

The man before me was a wolf! He was a wolf!

"Y-You arewolf!!! not Human!" my voice kept shaking out of fear.

I ran to the door and slapped the door of the room, hoping to escape.

The man squeezed my shoulder and said in a mocking tone, "Little one, once you're in the castle, it's impossible to escape. Unless you make enough money to offset the cost."

"If you're a good girl, obedient and submissive, you can stay on the second and third floors. I'm guessing you didn't want to be sent to the first floor, did you?"

I recalled the image of the first floor, women displaying their naked bodies, and any man being able to touch a woman at will.

My collar was pulled downward, exposing the clean back of my neck, a hot breath sprayed my neck, sharp fangs against my skin.

The image of a prey having its neck snapped by a wolf appeared in my mind, and not daring to struggle, I pleaded, "Don't! I won't run away!"

A tongue licked the top of my neck, and the man behind me let out a satisfied exclamation, "You smell good! I will train you to be the perfect slave! Now it's time for the body check!"

The man pulled the door open and took the lead, ordering me, "Follow me!"

My legs go weak, I have no other choice now but to follow the man's orders.

I slowly followed the man, seeing his broad back and the tread of his shoes in the dimness, wondering what would soon await me.

The man led me to another room and handed me over to a sexy woman in a tight black sheath dress, "Hawthorne, she's new slave and I need to get her examined as soon as possible."

There were a dozen girls like me huddled in the corner of the room, all shaking with fear and hugging each other for comfort and encouragement. I joined them, sitting next to one girl and hugging my legs. I had to bite my lip to keep from sobbing. 

"What are they going to do to us?" A girl next to me whispered.

I looked up and answered her, "I don't know. Why did you come here?"

The girl lowered her head and cried, "My mother is sick and needs a lot of money, and the castle gave me a lot of money. I was there to save my mother. ”

We exchanged names, her name was Hannah, she was dependent on her mom and was a luckier girl than me. At the very least she had a mom, whereas my mom and dad had both left me.

A moment later, several women entered the room, their high heels echoing in the terrible silence, making a clicking sound.

"Welcome to the Werewolf Castle, dear girls. You're going to call me Mistress Hawthorne. ”

"Forget everything you have in the past and start a new life in the castle. If you behave well, you can live a rich life. If you violate discipline, you will be punished! ”

"Here you have new identities - slaves of the Alpha! I will teach you how to serve your masters."

We were plunged into a werewolf pile, and everyone else was a werewolf except for us poor girls. Does that mean we will be the playthings of the werewolves?

"Now begins your first lesson inside the castle, the body check! Get moving, girls, and take off the clothes you're wearing. I won't say it more than once."
