Chapter 187
The first thing I notice when I wake up is that I’ve been mostly undressed. I can tell I’m still wearing a shirt, maybe it’s my my blouse, and panties, but that’s it. No, there’s more, something is attached around my neck, wrists and ankles. Am I restrained?
It feels like I’m on a firm bed, so I focus on gathering my wits before moving and giving myself away to anyone who might be in the area. There are scents of two people in the room, both female, and one more male scent that is everywhere, likely the master of this place, whether it’s a Lord, Jailer or something else I have no idea yet.
Only one of the scents is human, one of the females. What the others are is indeterminate, but they’ve got an almost brimstone and fresh rain scent. It’s jarring, as the two just don’t go together, but both the second female and the male have that overtone, so it must be their species and not an individual scent.
"Domaya, brother said it’s a puppy, but it doesn’t look like a puppy." One of the voices says.
"She is Lycan, part wolf and part human, a species created by the Moon Goddess. I think that’s what he meant Mistress Amanda." The second woman, who must be Domaya answers. I carefully check to not tip them off that I’ve awakened and find that my ears and tail are out. So they’re not surprised at non humans, such means this likely isn’t a cultivation world, or at least not a standard one.
"Tell me when she awakens, I want a chance to play with her before brother monopolizes her for his studies." The one called Amanda says quietly, just as I hear the door open.
"Amy, what did I tell you? The Moon Goddess creations are dangerous, you shouldn’t be here until I’ve had a chance to domesticate the puppy." If this guy calls me Puppy one more time I’m going to stab him. His aura is heavy with divine energy though, maybe stabbing him is a bad idea. The voice also seems to be much higher above me than expected. He must be very large, maybe the black circles were run by the giants after all?
"How long will she be out for?" Amanda asks her brother.
"Oh, she’s been awake since I came into the room, she’s just pretending to sleep so she can figure out what’s going on." He answers, amusement clear in his voice. Darn I was hoping for more answers before getting caught.
I open my eyes and sit up, seeing that my wrists and ankles have smooth Silver manacles on them, and I am indeed in my panties and the red blouse I was wearing when I was captured. But all my rings and bracelets are gone. Good thing they didn’t check the piercings or I’d really be out of options. Looking around, the entire room is designed for someone near 4 meters tall, the furniture is huge and I’m on a cushion on the floor. The girl called Domaya is a dark haired, dark skinned girl in her late twenties and has the aura of a Foundation Realm cultivator.
Amanda and her brother are both much larger than human, skin shining like gold with dark feathered wings and Demonic looking eyes. Amanda is seated in a chair beside Domaya, who is wearing a toga of coarse cloth with a collar around her neck. Not the fancy style that is around my arms and legs, but dark leather with a simple padlock holding it closed. Her name is clearly visible on the padlock. They’d better not have done that to me.
