Valeria Romanez:
I sat with this handsome fellow not knowing his name or where he came from, but I enjoyed every bit of our conversation.
We talked about life, kingdoms, family and friends. Nothing about love or relationships.
While talking to him, I'm sure I drank more than two glasses.
For a virgin and someone who had never had more than three glasses of a drink,I started to feel a little more tipsy than I usually did.
"I'm sleepy," I told the stranger.
He smiled at me, "Are you really sleepy or are you horny?"
My eyes widened. Horny?
How?
"Well, I know a horny lady when I see her and you're horny. You don't need to lie to me" he said with a smirk.
I was speechless. I didn't even know what to say or how to act. My lips tightened. How could a stranger just talk about s*x so easily?
Wow! People in that club were crazy.
He cleared his throat and leaned into me.
"From where I stand, I think I can perceive the scent of a horny woman. Can I cure that for you?"
I swallowed hard.
For a moment, my already weak legs started to shake. My ankles felt wobbly, my eyes almost turned to the back of my head and I watched as my hands began to move nervously. I swallowed hard again.
"I'm sorry… I can't"
He smiled at me, "Come on, you know you want to. Your friend is already having a swell time" he pointed to Karina at the back, dancing with a stranger of her own, her body wiggling at every beat, ".. wouldn't you want to be like her?" He raised a brow.
I nipped at my lower lip.
I did want to be like her, throwing caution to the wind and acting carelessly but my stepmother…
"Come on" he rubbed at my wrist. The feeling made my body tingle. Somehow, without thought, I blurted out a 'yes'
"So we can go ahead and have s*x?"
"Yes!, Let's do it"
We got inside and I watched him lock the door. A few more seconds and we were smooching.
"I like your body," he whispered to me. I tried to act normal while I touched back.
"Before I begin, I need you to promise me something" he weirdly said.
I smirked, what could he want?
"What?"
"That you would never tell anyone of this night we had"
He said with a smile of pride too. I smiled, I was on his side too. I would never have wanted anyone to know I had a one-night stand with anyone.
"I agree"
"Great!" He yelled out and together, we got back to the kissing.
We got really into it, so much that the stranger got on his feet, put off the light and started the real deal.
I can't explain it but that was the best day of my life. Literally, I would not trade that day for another, not even my birthday.

The next day, I woke up with a bang on my head.
As I opened my eyes, I saw the curtains first. The noise from the birds chirping sounded harmonious to my ears as I sniffed in the air.
Everything felt peaceful and memorable. I held my head as I tried to stand up and head to the restroom.
My head kept banging.
I walked out to the bathroom and washed my face when suddenly, I saw some wolf hairs in the sink. My eyes widened, I remembered, I had a one-night stand!!!
I turned to have a look at the bed.
It was empty. I panicked, where could the werewolf I had s*x with have gone?
The sun was just rising!
I searched all through the room but couldn't find him until I got exhausted. The pang in my head reminded me I had other things to do.
"I need a painkiller," I said to myself as I wore the dress the stranger tore off my body. I placed the shoe on the floor and fixed my legs inside as I got up.
My mind wandered to Karina. I wondered if she was doing okay and if she had gotten home safely.
"I wonder if she had actually taken the permission for me from my stepmother"
My heart broke. If she didn't, it meant I would be punished again.
"Oh no!" I gasped.
****
The walk home for me was a quiet and lonely one. Usually, I had Karina to walk home with but I couldn't find her.
I sighed as I approached my house, a few minutes away.
From where I stood, I could see my father's second car.
"If the first one is not there, it means he is not at home"
I smiled inwardly. If my father was not at home, my problems would be lighter.
All that was left now, would be my stepmother–– Kate.
I ran through the back as I tried to climb up the tree with my claws.
The tree was thick enough to carry my weight and often my escape route inside.
Kate had not discovered the tree yet or I was sure she would have cut it down.
I got in successfully and took one step indoors when I heard something slap on my back.
"How dare you?!"
I turned around to look at who that was. To my uttermost dismay, it was the witch. My stepmother.
"I spent the night at Karina's place. She and I had to do something for her parents. She said she was going to tell you about it when her mother sent me on an errand. Did she not?"
I said in my tiny voice. I tried to look pitiful and weak but my stepmother did not fall for that, she never did.
"How dare you lie to me?!" My stepmother slammed her hand on my arm again.
"I sent some guards to go over to Karina's place yesterday and her parents said they had not set eyes on you for a week. They said Karina had gone out also. You lie!!"
I panicked.
Karina really didn't take permission on my behalf. I was screwed.
"I'm sorry. We just had something to do. I promise I will never do this again. I am really sorry"
My stepmother shook her head. She turned to the guard by her side.
"The alpha is not around now. Go! Ready the pot of boiling hot oil!"
I fell to my knees and started to beg.
"Please "
Kate turned back to me, she shook her head.
"No, you must suffer!"
The door swung open with the guard holding a pot.
I sighed.
"Oh no!"
