Mage And Wolf
Chapter 187

Chapter 187: 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.

"Relax puppy, we wouldn’t put a crude slave collar on you." the winged male informs me, seeing the direction of my gaze.

"Do you speak girl? Can you understand us?" Amanda asks like she’s speaking to an actual dog, getting out of her chair to kneel by my cushion.

"Stay back Amy. How many times must I tell you that wild animals are dangerous?"

I take this opportunity to make a move, jumping into the Winged girls arms. She’s not as tall as her brother, maybe a bit over 3 meters tall, but plenty large enough that I’m tiny in her arms. She catches me like a child, cradling me in her arms and I wrap an arm around her neck to support myself, causing her brother to make a threatening noise.

"Don’t listen to him, he’s just a big stick in the mud. I’ll bet we could be very good friends." I whisper to her, before sticking my tongue out at her brother behind her back.

"Has anyone told you your wings are really pretty? What are you, I’ve never seen anything like them?" I ask digging for information.

"We are Nephilim, and that’s Lady Amanda to you. Show respect for your betters. You may call me Master or Prince Mahmud." The man, Mahmud answers for her.

"So, Mahmud, what exactly was the goal in bringing me here? It seems you already understand that the children of the Moon Goddess are difficult to deal with." I ask and I can see his eyebrow twitch in annoyance, but his sister looks happy to have my tail stroking her arm and he’s not willing to risk me injuring her.

"While I don’t understand what the deal is with your form, Lycans are usually furry and misshapen when they’re threatened, your presence here is simple. The Titans wanted you, and I want to know what’s so special about you. So you will be my puppy until I get the answers I want." Mahmud says self importantly.

"You don’t seem to be any stronger than my Elder Song, are you sure it’s a good idea to keep me here and anger the Titans?" I ask, heavy with fake concern that Amanda completely misses.

"It’s okay, we’ve got Papa here and all the aunties and Uncles. In fact, it was Papa who collected you for us. Mahmud couldn’t break through the realm barrier with so much going on." She says happily.

No wonder he wanted her away from me, this girl’s got absolutely no sense of secrecy. An hour alone with her and I would learn her entire family history.
