Chapter Four
To Tame A Monster's Pet Lily's POV
I smiled as I finished up the repairs on my dress.
It's almost as if the Lycan King hadn't burned it after he killed a girl who was standing next to me. After I was done dressing up the burn wound I got from that encounter, I made my way back to the common room where I was to stay with all of the other girls. When I entered, they were also bickering about the assignments we were just given, “Look, none of you bitches are going to ruin my chances at becoming the Lycan King’s Luna. So, if anyone gets to go into his bedroom to do his laundry and bring him foad, it'll be me”
Anny stated. Unsurprisingly to me, no one else spoke up to argue.
It seemed like everyone else in the room had a leveled head on their shoulders. As for me, I didn't care what assignment I took on.
I just wanted to be as far away from the Lycan King as I could be.
Ideally, I wouldn't want to look at him ever again. “Okay, that's all fine and great, Anny, but the most important task on this list is cleaning out Cerberus's kennel..”
“What? That three-headed monster?” “Yeah, I think I'll pass..”
“What a tough decision—do I want to be burned alive by a cold, ruthless, Lycan King, or do I want to be mauled to death by a three- headed monster dog?” I shook my head. While Cerberus was undoubtedly one of the scariest creatures any of us had ever seen, he was still a dog. His ferociousness comes from being so loyal to his master.
If anything, I feared him less than I did the Lycan King. “I'll do it,” I spoke up. “What?’ Anny looked at me with a perfect eyebrow raised. “I'll go clean out Cerberus’s kennel”
The other girls looked at me, for the second time, like I had lost my mind.
They laughed but did so quietly as to not disturb the Lycan King. "You can't be serious, right?"
I looked at the black-haired girl who always seemed to be glued to Anny’s hip.
I remember her being in my English class—her name was Katelyn.
I shrugged my shoulders. “I don’t see why not. None of you will do it and someone has to or it'll really piss off the Lycan King..”
“Yeah, but now you're just being stupid”
Anny sneered. “That monster isn’t going to give you a free pass just because you decide to be nice to it.
It'll eat you up in a heartbeat”
looked at the other girls who nodded their heads in agreement. “Don't pretend that you're some monster veterinarian.
It's only going to get you killed”
“Normally, I don't like agreeing with Anny, but she’s right,” Clarissa spoke up. We were in the same art class together. She was always so soft-spoken and nice. "It’s not just an ordinary dog, Lily.
That thing is a monster. No one here can keep you safe from it if it decides to attack you”
"You're basically on your own. You know the Lycan King isn't going to care if we die to that beast. He killed one of our own without batting an eye”
The other girls murmured in agreement.
