{Flashback}

"Keep running dear!"

The same sound is heard in the distance.

"They're getting closer!"

Snap

"AHHHH!"

"NO!"

"Keep running, I'll only slow you down."

"I can't leave you" 

"Please go before they get you"

"Too late.."

I had shifted to a Displacer Beast and pounced on the Viera girl, pinning her down as the satyr was struggling to get unstuck from one of the bear traps that were made.

"Why are you doing this, you're one of us!"

"Don't try reasoning with her, dear... ugh.. she's nothing but a traitor. Selling us out by the traders."

I don't have a choice...

Soon the rest of the traders came in and picked up the satyr and also examined the Viera.

"the goat won't be much, it could be the bitches meal, but the rabbit girl she's quite the looker, she can make us good cash. All it takes is to break her, right boss."

A tall man with dark hair, covered in leather armor walks closer

"Mutt, off."

I flinch and quickly get off her and the boss grabs her, taking a closer look giving his 'famous' smirk.

"She'll do nicely, can't wait to break her... Actually, Mutt"

I look up at him in fear,

"Y-Yes, sir?"

"You're breaking her."

I saw the panic in her eyes and try to crawl away. I didn't wanna do it either

"But sir I'll only just taint her-" I couldn't finish my sentence as I scream in pain, my body got electrocuted again. 

My wounds only got worse as the electricity hit my tissues directly and my outer layer burned off. I was forced to shift back to 'human' and after a few minutes, the pain finally stops.

"I told you what to do, so don't disobey and do it."

(*** Start)

I slowly nod and limped closer to the girl, I rip off her clothes.

"No! Leave her alone you monster!"

I move closer and sigh "I'm so sorry... Close your eyes... I'll make this quick"

"You're just as bad as them. Monster!"

I'm not like them...

"Stop! Monster!"

I don't wanna do this...

"Someone shut that goat up!"

I look over to see the men are starting to beat the satyr, and I can hear the pleads of the Viera for us to stop

(*** End)

After the sin I have committed, I was later forced to eat the satyr with whatever life was left of him. Later at night, I can't stop hearing the screams of them both and the cries of the girl...

I'm sorry...

I just wanna be free...

I'm not like them.

{Present}

"I'm not a Monster!" I jolted up and screamed in vain, I can feel the cold sweat traveling down my body. As quickly as I got up, my body felt strained and I can feel the soreness I force my muscles over their limit.

I look around and see I'm currently in someone's chambers, wrapped in bandages. Then I heard rustling outside so I tried to get up before the person could get the upper hand but the moment I try to stand on my own two legs I fell. A loud thud could be heard in the halls and soon the doors flew open and a swarm of flies come in and turn into Daniela.

"(Y/n)!" I groan in response and try to get back up

"I'm fine, just a little sore.." I was able to stay up as long as a had a bit of support but the pain is still there

Before I can utter another word, Daniela hugs me tightly and silently cries. Her tears stain my chest and her grip is hard enough to break me, almost afraid of losing me. I hugged her back and try to soothe her. 

"I'm still alive Lovebug, I'm sorry for scaring you."

"Y-You asshole, you had me on edge. Your wounds bleed profoundly and I thought..."

I shush her before she finishes that sentence, however, our small moment was ruined as the door swung open again and I see Daniela's family come in. I try to stand properly and let go of Daniela as her mother ducks down to get in.

Why have such small doors if you're a giant?

"I see you have recovered mutt, My daughter, Daniela has made sure you live through so I expect you to show some gratitude."

Normally I would talk back but she's right, I need to thank Daniela for a few things. So I turned around, kneeled, and lower my head as a knight will kneel before their royalty. 

"Thank you Daniela Dimitrescu, I am in your debt within reason."

I looked up a bit and smiled

Daniela was trying hard not to smile back "You can rise."

I stand up and turn around and look at her family who are surprised at my sudden attitude change. "Does that mean you'll finally speak about the village?" The lady asked and I simply just shook my head 

"I said within reason, as much as I'm grateful to be alive, I will not betray my village by giving their location."

She lets out an irritated sigh, "Very well, you still have to stay here as a prisoner but I was also enlightened that you help save my daughters from the rebellion raid so I will show my gratitude as well and offer some of my services within reason."

"Fair enough but what are these rebellion raids?"

She nods, "There is a rebellion happening within our village, they keep sending their little armadas to try and gain the power of a lord. However that will never happen, Mother Miranda is confident the rebellion will end once their forces are depleted. So we always try to interrogate any outsider that might lend their help to the rebellion."

I stared baffled, I have never seen a rebellion nor anyone that could even rise against them. The village seems completely loyal to them. 

Somethings not adding up

"If I could ask m'lady, how long have these attacks and raids been happening?" I could be stepping out of bound but this is an important question.

She looks at me in surprise before regaining her composure. "It's been happening for almost 3 months, they attack as often as every a week or two."

"Do they carry any insignia?"

She then looks at Bela and nods at her, soon she left and in seconds returned with a badge of sorts. I walked a little closer and took a better look, 

No..not them.. that symbol

"Venganza del fénix..."

I let out a low growl, causing Bela to back away and Cassandra to draw out her sickle. I stop my growl and look at Lady Dimitrescu. "Have you heard of Monster traders?"

She looks confused, 

there's my answer

I sigh, "Monster traders have been around for as long as I remember, they hunt anyone that does not fit the human protocol i.e. my kind, the beastkins. They capture us and sell us off to the highest bidder, only using us like animals but mistreat us for our animal or unusual features." I look at Bela in a sad manner

"Those got off lucky... sometimes the traders will keep their hunt for their entertainment, we get treated as slaves, we're nothing without the humanoids and they will drill it into the monsters head." I put a hand around my neck, remembering every 'control shock' they'll give me for disobeying. 

"They will even make us fight against each other just for us to have our next meal, eating our fallen brethren. That badge is from one of the most brutal traders, I believe these raids are the traders trying to capture you and your family."

The family seems to be baffled, Daniela tried to mimic their reaction since she had some experience with them when we trained together. Before anyone can say a word, there was a knock at the door and soon came in a short maid, with dark tan skin, black hair, and hazel eyes, her scent is familiar to a dark elf.

"My lady, the man you captured has awakened and is ready for interrogation." 

"Thank you, Lidia, you may be excused"

She turns to walk away, I stare at the Dimitrescu and decided to strike a deal. "Listen, I'll only tell you one small thing about my village but this does not mean I'll give you their locations, but in return for this information, I would like to not be considered a prisoner."

"Then what would you do, you're stuck with us for two months, and escaping would be futile as well," Bela responded and walks closer with Cassandra in tow, before they got any closer Daniela rushes in between us and quickly said,

"Why not use her to help the castle, Lidia could use the help."

I look at her surprise, I can do basic household chores but I'm mostly used for security

Why do I feel like I'm about to get fucked... Well as long as I don't get tortured for 2 months

"I can do that, however, I'm mostly used for physical labor and security cause of my brute strength and beastkin traits." 

Lady Dimitrescu seems to think of it before walking closer, she towers over me and that's me already being a giant for regular people. I am over 6 feet tall, taller than the sisters but she can still tower me.

She walks around and looks at me thoroughly, inspecting me. I gulp a bit and look at Daniela and she mouth shift.

For the love of Mother Maria please work...

I then shifted into my original werewolf form 

(Replace the markings with scars [except the chest markings] and the ones in the human form are larger on the werewolf. electric scars are hidden from the fur. Fur color can be your whatever ya like)

and sit like an obedient dog, this caused the sisters to back away in shock and lady dimitrescu to wear a smirk before saying 

"Open up, pet"

I can tell she's trying to get the information that Miranda try to get, I sneak a glance at Daniela and she slowly nods. I sigh and open my jaw, she inspects then grab a nearby fire poker and place it in between my teeth.

"Now bite"

One quick chomp and the poker broke in half, Lady dimitrescu looked impressed and I decided to shift back to my original form and spit out the part of the poker still in my mouth. 

"Impressive strength, but I wonder what makes you so special to Mother Miranda" She looks satisfied, however, she looks over at her daughters and nodded. Bela and Cassandra walked over standing me up and holding my arms, Bela then pulls out a knife and cut my hand. Lady dimitrescu then leans closer and licks the blood seeping through.

For a moment I thought her pupil started to dilate before eagerly drinking my blood, I can only stand there and watch her drink away as if I'm her last food source. Even her daughters feel a little out of place with her behavior. 

After a while she finally pulls away with one last lick, trying to savor the flavor of my blood. She cleans up the residue from her mouth before looking at me. "Such an interesting flavor, it's almost addicting and very sweet like a ripe fruit."

"Thank you, my lady?" 

How does one react to your blood being delicious?

"Alright you will be our new helper, we need more work around the castle, and with these traders, I need more security for my daughters so you'll focus more on protecting them. Maybe I should start calling you our new guard dog."

Guard dog?...

~In (Y/n) mind~

"We have a new guard dog, she'll be under us. Wonder how her bite is compared to her bark."

.

.

.

"Someone get the guard dog, she's gonna finish this bloody mess"

.

.

.

"We got another bitch get the dog, she'll break them whether she wants to or not"

.

.

.

"You will learn to be a guard dog the hard way or the painful way"

"I won't do your filthy deeds!"

"Lesson one. *Zaps and screams can be heard* a dog doesn't disobey their masters."

.

.

.

~Reality~

"No, please don't call me that."

My hands start shaking a bit I try to calm myself down but slowly my old destructive habit started to rise, needing to extend my claws and clawing my wrist lightly seeing how long it will take till I cut. Daniela could immediately sense my discomfort, she tries to find a way to defuse the situation but unfortunately, Cassandra beat her to it.

"How come, you are a mutt after all. You protect us and we'll provide food and shelter, you will be guarding us, you should be a bit more grateful. Maybe we should replace that band on you for a collar." 

Cassandra walks closer and tries to grab my gold ribbon choker but I just back away and hold it in place. 

"Don't touch that!" I screamed, my eyes flashed an orange color, my ears flared and I extended my empty hand's claws and stared at Cassandra. Any normal human would just say I was ready to attack but any creature with aura or scent detection can tell I'm afraid, keeping a strong facade to protect me while fearing the worst might happen. 

"Cassandra stop this instant, she wishes not to be called a guard dog so we will honor that wish." Lady dimitrescu stood between us and I look up in surprise. Daniela slowly walks closer with some bandages, I was still on high alert however she knew how to calm me down, she hummed a familiar tune and slowly was able to wrap up my wrist that I ended up scratching. She finished and see the Lady look at me with slight concern.

I sigh, retract my claws and fix my composure. "I'm sorry, I will do whatever it takes to keep your daughters safe, I just ask not to be called a guard dog and for my choker to stay on." 

"Very well, we can talk about that information later. Now what is the name of our new pet."

Shit, I forgot they don't know me like Daniela does

"I apologize, my lady, My name is (Y/n) (L/n). I am in your service till we part ways." I bow, showing a pleasing array of both discipline and obedience. 

"Daniela please escort her to Lidia, she will give our new pet the layout of the castle. Glad to have you with us (Y/n), you may be working for us now but we still need you to talk."

I stand and follow Daniela out to find the maid from earlier. As we got farther away from everyone Daniela stops and looks at me.

"(Y/n) look I'm so so sorry I got you roped up in being a helper, I know you have your mission but-"

I laugh a bit and hug her putting her head on my chest. "It's ok lovebug, I was honestly stuck if it weren't for you. Now I'm going to be a safeguard and helper, who knows I might be a groundskeeper."

we kept walking in a comfortable silence to the kitchen in hopes of finding Lidia. A new life might be waiting for me from this but I must remember my mission. 

Hopefully, this decision won't come back to bite me
