In a dark dungeon, a man screamed in pain as a woman beside him applied medicine to his wounds. His face was hidden beneath a mask and he glared at the woman, who flinched on seeing the anger in his eyes. Even though his eyes were pitch black, she could still sense his fury radiating off him.

"Please forgive this slave, Milord. I was reckless." She kneeled in front of him and the man gritted his teeth before he closed his eyes.

"Be careful." He ordered. His voice was cold and devoid of any emotion and the woman shuddered before she started to treat his wounds again. She was gentle with her touch and did not dare apply more force lest the man should be annoyed again and kill her this time.

The woman knew why he had not killed her the previous time. If not for her exceptional medical skills which he required to treat him, she would have long been sucked dry of her blood and fed on her body.

His gaze fell on the pile of bones behind her and she shivered involuntarily. Her hands shook. Before the man could find out about it, she steadied herself and continued to treat him, swallowing her fear in the meanwhile. Death was not what she wanted, not when it would be so brutal and heinous. She had to stay alive and find a way somehow to escape from this monster.

"I can sense your fright, Lucia." The man chuckled devilishly and Lucia's hand stilled completely. She stood motionless until the man opened his eyes and stared back, his lifeless gaze challenging her blatantly. "And I am loving it." He continued, enjoying the thrill of seeing the woman terrified of him.

"Stop scaring the child." A woman's crisp voice echoed through the dungeon and the man turned in the direction where he had heard the sound.

"She is the only one we have now. What if she runs away?" The woman continued as she walked towards them with the help of a shillelagh.

"She would not dare. Would you, Lucia?" The man's tone was filled with confidence and Lucia shook her head immediately, making him smile wickedly.

"And if she were to still test me on this, then she would join the pile of bones next." He continued and a chill went down Lucia's spine and cold sweat trickled down her body.

Lucia cleaned his wounds with great difficulty under the observant eyes of the old woman and the masked man and wrapped his hands in a clean cloth. She then clean the place before she returned to her cell at the farther end of the dungeon, away from where the terrifying man was.

"See how scared she is of me." The man gloated. "She will not dare run away."

The old woman sighed and leaned on the shillelagh, putting all her weight on it. "Why did you do this?"

The man's smile vanished and he glared at her, forcing the old woman to stop speaking for a moment.

"Do you not know that the sunlight is your weakness?" Her gaze landed on his injured hands before she stared at the man again. "If you were to stay in the sunlight even for a few moments more, you would have been burned to death. Why did you do it?"

The masked man continued to glower at her and the old woman swallowed her words when she saw his deathly gaze. 

"I smelt his scent on her." He mumbled and clenched his fists as he stared at the flames in the torch in front of him.

The woman could not comprehend the meaning behind his words and she gave him a questioning look.

"My dear girl has his scent all over her. I had to handle him before it was too late."

"Whose scent?" The woman was still confused and her curiosity was now piqued.

"She has the scent of a werewolf on her. I wanted to kill him for even thinking about her."

"Well, did you kill him?"

"No, I did not. I was burned by the sun before I could deal with him." The man frowned when he recalled the wolf he had seen in the jungle. The wolf was anything he had seen before. Unlike the other werewolves, he was majestic and ferocious and the man wondered what would have happened if a fight had ensued. 

After years of waiting, he had finally found a worthy opponent and he wanted to find out who would be the victor ultimately.

"In that case, he now knows about you." The woman warned. "We need to dispose him off before we fall into peril ourselves."

The woman barely had a moment to catch her breath when the vile man pounced on her and squeezed her neck, his dark aura spreading everywhere in the dungeon. Even Lucia who was far away from them sensed the changes and she trembled in fear, hoping for her misery to end as quickly as possible.

"I dare you to tell me what to do again. Do not test my patience." The man warned and his prey let go of her shillelagh and started to fight him to let her go. His hold on her was too strong and she started to have difficulty breathing until her vision turned black. Her face turned pale as tried to wriggle her way out weakly.

It was only when she did not fight him anymore that he threw her to the ground and the woman took deep breaths immediately. Tears were streaming out of her eyes as she felt the burn of the air passing through her.

"Please forgive me. I overstepped my duties." She panted and bowed her head and the man observed her for a moment before he returned to his chair.

Nobody spoke a word for some time and the man took breaths to calm himself. 

"I will dispose him off by the end of today. You do not have to worry about it." The man spoke after a while. "He will never be able to get to her." The man said with such confidence that the woman did not doubt him at all. 

"Moreover," A smile made its way on his lips immediately after. "I have already warned my sweet girl in her dream. If she is a smart woman, which I am sure she is, she will not dare to get associated with anyone from now.. Otherwise, she will never see them live to welcome another day."
