As they chained and muzzled me,I was proded towards my new owner.
"Next time I see him he should be bathed and wrapped in clothe,so as not to sully my hall and by next time I mean later this evening."she said as she strutted off
Her entourage of maids and knights dragged me along back to her Manor,one of ginormous proportions that seemed to stretch beyond what my eyes could see.How could all of this belong to a single person, what's wrong with these human?
Soon some maids came.
They snuck quick glances at me and whenever I looked back they evaded my eyes as if I would devour them from eye contact.
I can't even blame them,it makes complete sense that they're scared of a bloodthirsty,hulking monster like me.Even as a slightly older pup I tower over all three of them.
I watched them trembled with every step towards me.
It seemed they are terrified of me but have to fullfil their masters instructions regardless. So they guided me somewhere and I just mindlessly followed so as to not frighten them with any abrupt movements.
Their soft carreses was quite nice as their hands glided across my bare body.
It must have been their first time seeing a naked werewolf as for a moment the smell of fear was gone and I heard gasps as they traced the claw marks left by my other tribemates.
Unfortunately every good thing has to end.
They then covered me in some weird material and brought me to their mistress's room.
There she was in all her magnificence,raven hair that floated around and deep black gaze.
"If you manage to show me something special about you, you live, if you don't you'll be hung."
"Oh and don't act like you can't understand me, I saw the way your eyes moved during the auction, following those that nearly won you."
She then told took off my bondings and waited
I had nothing to display except my intelligence so I for the first time uttered the weird human speak
"I can speak."
"Interesting,a sentient werewolf who can speak our language, you've impressed me so you'll live to another day."
"What's your name?"
"Grrrhh my name is Loeto,yes my name is, Loeto letshwiti."
My life for the next year passed in blur with the mistress constantly feeding me information about humans and how they worked and occasionally questioning me with the threat of death if I answered wrong.
I didn't hate the process as I was well fed and never beaten,this was heaven In comparison to my life at the den. The only problem was I could see the knights becoming visibly vexed by my presence and interaction with their mistress.
Their whispers echoed across the halls, questioning my presence here and why their lord hasn't killed her new pet. It seemed this lady was fond of acquiring rare creatures and I seemed to have the highest longevity amongst all her pets.
On a particular day the lady saw my blank expression ad said "Ignore the blabber of the rabble and continue learning, continue amazing me with your intellect until you've nothing left to learn and nothing left to give."
Unfortunately my time with the mistress was cut short as a knight announced "Baron Fauster has returned from his territory."
"Ah it seem my husband has returned,I shall go greet him,stay here!"
I heard a clamor at the door as a troop entered the manor, with a man of around 1.8 meter tall standing at the forefront with a brown wolf cut and a huge coat of wolf fur draped across his shoulder.
I couldn't do anything but watch as my mistress threw herself into his embrace.
"What have you been doing in my absence dear."he caught her
"Just the usual, I got a new pet to amuse me."she beamed a smile towards his face
"It seems that pet of yours is glaring at me."he said as he smiled at her
"There's no need to fret, he's just an uncultured werewolf."
"Well that wolf needs to be punished."
He pointed at a knight that had been with us "hey you,how long has that werewolf been in my manor,why is he walking around without bounds and how long is he around my wife per day."
The knights swiftly stood up and saluted"he's been here for a year,spends at least twelve hours around your wife daily and the mistress told us to let him walk freely."
"Now I that I'm here you don't need your pet ,do you dear?"he whispered into her ear as he tightened his embraced
"Your right ,I don't need him at all."she ruthlessly threw me away as soon ass her husband arrived.
She turned towards me "As my last grace to you, I'll answer the first question you asked me, my name is Victoria."
If I killed her and made a run for it now I could escape, but I would have to meet that disastrous fellow outside and that means I would be torn apart.
I assume my death would be excruciating if I killed a noble
I jumped down from a balcony "I only ask that you swiftly kill me with a silver sword."
The baron drew his blade and passes his blade to the knight that was still saluting him "I now understand why he's been alive for so long,how could a mutt lay down his life like this without any struggle,you sure found yourself a unique pet my sweet."
I kneeled in position and saw the shadow of the sword hover over my head.
"In 3,2,1,swing ."
The sword dug through my mane of a beard and hair and my head rolled
I woke up on a bright,rocky surface "I'm truly deceased,I'm surprised I managed to enter the moon god's realm with my lack of battle."
I surveyed around me and saw a 4 meters tall werewolf with rippling muscles and white fur gazing down at me from a stone throne
It tilted it's head and asked"what would you do If you were given a second lease on life?"
