"Why do you think he is so interested in you that he is following you?"She gasped and moved back.Looking at his eyes, she could see something strange but could not tell what was that."I-Interested?""Hmm. Didn't you just say he is following you? What do you think you are? Someone special?"She understood that he was making fun of her.She felt somehow insulted. "I have never said that. I saw him so I am telling you this."Everett nodded as if he assumed that she was lying to him."How much did you see him?"Delilah remembered that night. She remembered the way that hurricane lamp lost the flames just before she could see him.But those fierce orange eyes! The anger in his eyes made her shiver in her spine. As if he would kill her anytime soon. As if he would eat her alive just like others said.She closed her eyes and rested her head on the headrest of the couch."I can't explain to you what I saw, Ev- Master. I saw his angry eyes. The way he was looking at me, I can't describe to

"The villagers think she seems to have seen the beast""WHAT?"That was Delilah's reaction. A shocking reaction. She looked at the girl. "She saw the beast?" She asked in a whisper.The mother sighed and nodded. She almost cried."My daughter is alive. So all I thank to the moon goddess. I don't want anything else."Delilah patted her shoulder.'Didn't I tell Everett about the beast? He always ignores it. That man! He should have come with me. Then he would believe me.' She thought."Don't worry she will be fine."The woman nodded. "What is your rank?" She asked.Delilah hesitantly replied, "Omega.""Oh.""You?""I am Theta female. My daughter is Beta. She got the rank from her father. He is a beta actually."Delilah got that. In this village, rank mattered a lot. She could see the pride of her rank in the woman's eyes."Where do you live?" The woman asked her."I am living in the middle of the fo-"Delilah immediately paused. She remembered Everett's warning. How could she be so care

"Who is he?"Delilah felt his hot breath in her right ear. She closed her eyes when she smelled his cologne. It was like addictive to her.His other hand rested on the other side beside her head. Now he caged her with both of his hands.She slowly turned to him but gasped. His naked chest was in front of her face. He was very tall. She did not dare to look up at him."Who is he?" His in-depth voice clutched her heart."W-Who?""The man you ate lunch with. You spent too much time with him, didn't you?"Delilah looked at him. His beautiful yet dangerous eyes were looking into her eyes. "He is my friend.""Friend?" He asked with a frown.'How does he know about Ron? We indeed had our lunches together. But how does he know? Or he guessed at the table at dinner time? No, I can't let him misunderstand me.' She thought."Yes, he is just my friend. We don't have any re-""Does he know where you live? Did you tell him everything?" He glared at her.She left a breath she did not know how muc

"He will not hurt you until you forget that you are my slave and try to escape from me."Delilah was bewildered. The fear of death spread in her heart."What do you mean?" She asked as she moved a little bit towards him."Just don't forget who you are now. Just because you are working outside that doesn't mean you will start to dream about building a home outside." He replied and opened his eyes.He turned his head to her. The room was dark. But they could see each other's faces. Their eyes met."I don't understand what you are saying?" She whispered.His eyes scanned her face as if his eyes were caressing her face.She averted his dark eyes. "Master, don't go outside at night. Don't come late. I almost died last night."He did not reply to her. She glanced at him. Moonlight fell on their faces. The way moonlight glittered on his face, she wanted to stroke his cheeks."Master"When he did not answer she continued,"What happened to your cheeks?"His dark eyes became colder. She beca

Her body shuddered with fear as she realized who was standing in front of her.She started to shake her head and felt scared. "Please don't kill me, please let me go."As if he didn't want to hear her at all, he slowly stepped towards her.She tried to see his face but could not see him at all in the darkness except his glowing eyes.She tried to run away.She cursed herself for coming here too late. She should not have been so late. 'I am sorry, Everett. I should have listened to you. You told me to come back home before the evening. I didn't listen to you. Please help me from the beast. I will always listen to you, I promise.' She whispered to herself.She kept running until she heard,"How long will you run like that?"She stopped and turned to the side where the voice was coming from. She saw a silhouette leaning against a tree.A bright smile scrambled on her lips. It was Everett's voice.She did not think much and hugged the man."Everett. I am sorry."She forgot to call him '
