"Fine," she grunted, looking over the plate of lasagna before her as if it was poisoned. She felt her stomach growling and she just couldn't help but take a bite. As soon as she started eating, she felt his presence beside her.

Mouth full, she looked up. His face looked amused as his eyes zoned over to her lips. Before she could react, he rubbed his thumb over the corner of her lips and wiped it over his tongue, tasting her food.

She blushed deeply. She'd never seen anything so erotic. His eyes seemed to be on fire as he watched her shyly biting her bottom lip. Brushing off her feelings, she looked away and continued to eat. Then she felt his presence behind her.

His strong arms wrapped around her waist and he placed his chin above her head so that she was pressed against his chest and trapped between him and the table.

She shifted uncomfortable, not having the strength to push him away. What was he doing?

Oblivious to her discomfort, he kissed the top of her head and nuzzled his face into her neck. "Stay here," he whispered into her ear, his voice warning, then he left.

As soon as he was gone, the same girl with thick brunette bangs walked in and placed a strawberry milkshake beside her plate. Her mouth watered.

As the maid turned to leave, she called, "Wait."

The maid stopped and bowed her head, avoiding eye contact. "Yes, Luna?"

Luna?

"Um, can I use the bathroom?" she asked politely. She definitely didn't plan to stay here for so long. She needed to find her way out of here.

"Yes, it's right at the end of the hall." The maid pointed towards the left and she nodded her head. Then the maid went away without another word.

Finishing her food, she took her strawberry milkshake and stood up from her seat. She walked towards the end of the hall and thought about how big the house was. It was like a maze. She could definitely get lost around here.

She walked downstairs and saw the bathroom. Even the bathroom was really big. It was twice the size of her bedroom. She placed down the milkshake on the counter and tiptoed towards the window. It was closed so she opened it.

Carefully, she raised one leg and tried to fit herself through. The large shirt she was wearing shifted upward due to the narrow space and ended up around her waist. Her pink underwear showed and she could feel the cold wind blowing against her skin.

She ducked her head under the windshield and her feet touched the ground. When soft grass stroked her feet, excitement surged through her in an instant.

She was finally free!

She raised her head and looked around the place. The woods surrounded her and suddenly she remembered home. Her father. The city. She desperately wanted to go back home. Without second thoughts, she ran as fast as she could towards the forest.

The trees surrounded her and she felt the wind kissing her face. She didn't know what she was thinking running to the forest without any backup plans but it seemed necessary to not think straight at the moment.

She felt like she just needed to get away from here without thinking of the consequences. It wasn't long until a loud ferocious growl echoed around the woods. Birds flew away and right then she really wished she could become a bird and fly away too.

The ground shook beneath her feet. She stopped running in fear as she heard a growl behind her. Turning around, she gasped and fell on her butt. An enormous pitch black wolf was standing in front of her.

His eyes were dark and cold. She suddenly remembered her handsome savior. They had the exact same eyes.

The wolf stalked towards her in dangerous steps and rounded her as if caging his prey. Her hair curtained around her face. She felt scared for her life as she hugged herself, suddenly feeling cold and suddenly hating herself for running away in only her underwear. Good thing her shirt reached down her thighs.

She thought it was enough to cover her.

The wolf stepped towards her and stopped. Was it going to eat her? She closed her eyes in fear. A few seconds passed by, however, she felt strong arms wrapping around her and she was being lifted off the ground.

When she opened her eyes, she gasped in shock. What the hell?

She could see her handsome captor looking down at her while carrying her in his arms. Where was the wolf?

She shifted in his arms. "Did you see the wolf?" she asked, completely frightened, as she looked behind them, searching for the terrifying wolf.

He shook his head and chuckled. She looked at him, wide-eyed.

"The wolf ran away from me," he explained. But then his face becomes so serious. "Don't ever try to run away again," he scolds, his voice deadly. "Wild wolves wander around this forest. But.. if you try to escape again, I will always find you. Remember that."

She gulped, nodding her head. But she guessed that it was a stupid idea to run into a forest, especially wearing only a shirt. Wolves could have eaten her alive if he wasn't there.

He walked them towards the directions of his mansion and he couldn't help but lean her head on his shoulder, feeling safe.

"Thank you," she murmured softly to his neck, "for saving me again."

He kissed her forehead. His lips lingered on her skin and it tingled. She didn't know why.

"I'll always protect you, baby doll," he muttered under his breath. "Always."
