You had been preparing your whole life for this day, your 18th birthday would be the biggest change of your life, despite the terrible morning you had experienced you had to bite your tongue and smile, your mother had been kind enough to warn you which would be your destiny since you were a child
It was assumed that the prince would be cold and condescending to you and your parents, you would certainly not be his first choice at all, but things change and adapting was the only alternative.
Maybe in another life
All day there was a torrential storm with intense lightning and thunder, ideal weather for an event that no one wanted to attend.
None of your friends, not even your mother, agreed to help you prepare for your big day. If it had been a real wedding you would probably have felt offended, but even though it was a union only of convenience, you felt surprised that the only reactions were jealousy, envy or disinterest
While you were combing your hair and putting on a complicated white ornament held with locks and thousands of pins behind your head, a loud noise made you jump, something outside the tower had hit the bedroom window, possibly a tree branch or a bird considering the height
Whatever it was was none of your business
You still remembered your mother's scolding when you were a teenager "a young lady doesn't investigate" besides there was nothing to worry about, that's a man's job, you were a maiden, you were there to please, smile, look down and be good company
The noises outside didn't stop and you couldn't concentrate, surely a view wouldn't hurt anyone, just to calm your nerves, and besides, no one would know.
You slowly approached the window and opened the curtain just a little, letting out a dull yelp when you saw a pair of eyes fixed on you, this must be divine punishment for not following orders, now something that you could only describe as a demon was watching you from the other side of the glass, this would be your end, your senses began to fade and before hitting the floor the last thing you saw were those eyes.
The constant movement made you come to your senses, you were lying on something soft, perhaps you were asleep in a carriage wrapped comfortably in expensive furs on the way to your new home next to the prince, but the throbbing sensation in your head was enough to make you your eyes fluttered open, the image in front of you was the most bizarre you could imagine, you were not in a carriage, you were on the back of an animal, a wolf to be exact, the biggest wolf you had ever seen.
Your breathing accelerated and your thoughts ran excessively, leaving you petrified
The colossus immediately noticed the change in your breathing and turned its head towards you, stopping completely
“Please let me go” you whispered between your pants
Almost as if the creature could understand you, it descended to the ground, giving you the opportunity to get off its back, with trembling hands and feet you slowly climbed down and began to crawl in the opposite direction of the animal, the rain had stopped, but the ground was still wet and the sky was cloudy
"This is not happening, this is not happening, this is not real"
The wolf tilted its head, staring at you but did not move, without taking your eyes off of it, you began to look around, trying to recognize something, but the dense forest around you and the deep darkness of the night made it impossible for you to see beyond a couple of meters
"Please don't come closer" you said more to yourself, but the beast obeyed you, staying in its place, you didn't know what to do, you couldn't stay close to this monster, but moving forward meant entering the unknown and other possible dangers.
You decided that the best thing would be to stay where you were and wait for dawn the beast remained attentive to your every movement, but made no attempts to approach you, plus perhaps there are more creatures like this one in the depths that are less obedient than this one
The sky began to clear above you, letting the moonlight pierce the clouds, a ray of light illuminated the beast's face, reflecting in its eyes, and your breath caught at the image of bright yellow eyes fixed on yours, smooth and long black fur
You had to admit that he was magnificent, beautiful even, obviously you had been wrong about his demonic appearance.
Why would such a powerful and gigantic creature kidnap you from the royal tower just to carry you through the forest and not hurt you in the process, he certainly wouldn't be looking for a snack because he would have already eaten you, and the intense gaze he kept on you... What was happening?
"Can you understand me? You whispered without waiting for an answer
He just tilted his head again
"I must be losing my mind, I'm talking to a giant wolf"
You slid until you put your back against the bark of a tree and stayed there, waiting for dawn
By the time the first rays of the sun came out, you had succumbed to sleep, the wolf remained motionless, observing you carefully
The rustling of the branches around you woke you up, the wolf got up, stretched and shook itself, but then began to advance towards you
"Oh my God, no no no don't come near me"
The wolf stopped and headed in the opposite direction, towards the trees
Once you lost sight of him you decided that this was the perfect time to escape and find your way back to your home, but as soon as you stood up, a figure appeared in front of you, a man
"Hello"
"..."
"My name is ___, you must be scared"
"Excuse me gentle man, but i'm in a bit of a hurry, I must return to the kingdom ___"
"I know, I brought you here."
"Excuse me? What do you mean?"
"I'm a werewolf, I was watching over you all night"
"You? Are you the wolf that kidnapped me and brought me here? Why?"
"I'm very sorry, dear, I know this must be very hard for you, you should know that it is not in my plans to harm you in any way, please allow me to explain everything to you while I escort you back to your home"
The sequence of events was the most disconcerting thing that could happen to someone, everything seemed totally unlikely but this man approached with so much respect that it was impossible for you to refuse his request
"I would like to return, if you can accompany me, I will be very grateful"
"It would be an honor for me" He said, indicating the way with his hand.
