Morning came with the dread of my situation. I woke up with a shuddering thought about today. It felt like everything was silent and not a bird was making a sound.
We were given different dresses today. And Darkena was edgy since yesterday. Two maids came to our room and presented five dresses for each of us. There were maxi dresses and short dresses.
“Hey Amelia, did you choose anything to wear?"
"Yeah...I am going for the black short one.”
“Wow it really suits you Amelia...I wonder how you will look.”
"Thanks Dark...Hey what about you?"
"I am going for the sky-blue maxi dress.”
“You will look fabulous Dark...I can't wait to see you wearing that.”
"Ok let's get ready before they come to drag us.”
The maids helped us to do our makeup and everything.
I was wearing the short black dress. It was detailed with white stones and black lace. It showed my long tan legs and a bit of cleavage.
After we were dressed, the maids escorted us to the common hall. This time however I saw two men in front of the double door.
We went through the double doors. Unlike the last time, all the girls were lined in the middle of the hall.
Some maid came to us and lined up us along the line. No one was complaining.
Everyone was afraid to open their mouths or move after yesterday's event.
More girls came through the door and soon we were all in a line.
I counted and found that there are fifty girls in the hall.
Each were wearing different dresses.
After what felt like forever, the same man from yesterday came to the platform.
“Good morning ladies. Today you will be given the instructions and an idea about the mate hunt"
“The mate hunt will start in three days from today. You will be polished and prepared until then.
And it is required that all of you should behave and cooperate with the preparation. If anyone fails to do so, there will be dire consequences.
That’s all you need to know. Your breakfast awaits you.
So enjoy the day."
After that man disappeared, the maids escorted us to a dining hall. There were every kind of foods from various cuisines.
We were asked or rather ordered to finish our breakfast in half an hour.
I took some sausage gravy lasagna and tasted it. I was like in heaven when I tasted it. The spicy juicy flavors were well combined and there was a cheesy flavor to it.
Then I took a blueberry muffin and ate it while drinking a hot steaming tea. I was full and satisfied after breakfast. Hey if they are going to feed us like this, I won't mind the kidnapping part.
After the breakfast we were taken to a bath house. There were many maids and they primed us and rubbed various oils to our skin. Some massaged our hair with exotic oils.
I asked my maid to choose a rose scented oil with a hint of spiciness in it.
For the shampoo and exotic oils to my hair, I asked her to choose fruity scented oils and shampoo.
After the beauty massage and bath we were given a free time to do whatever we desired.
Me and Darkena was both exhausted.
So we decided to rest a little bit in our room.
After having a short nap we were requested to come to a different hall.
Many girls were styled and polished. There were some people who were doing makeovers to the girls.
I wanted to do nothing with them. But after remembering the rule I had to comply.
So I asked to do a makeover to my hair and nothing else. As I am sure of my looks.
After the makeover was done, they showed me my hair.
It was now curled in the ends with light brown color and the beautiful reddish brown curls added extra texture and thickness to my hair.
I was really satisfied with the ending results. Then we were given choices of clothes for the hunt.
The maids told us that we have to choose wisely as the mate hunt will be held outside in the thick forest.
I chose a skinny black leather pant with zippers on the sides and a burgundy corset top with cuts on the sides.
To finish it off I chose a blackish brown combat boots with a thigh high strapped dagger.
We were given minor weapons only.
So I chose the dagger.
After choosing our gear, the maids provided us thine silver bracelets with a crescent charm attached.
It was to wear all the time. So they told us.
With a complete gear and a clear mind, I thought that I can outrun the stupid werewolves.
A warrior or someone like that explained the mate hunt to us.
We have to escape from the wolves and if we reach the sacred ancient tree which is in the middle of the forest we are safe.
But...
There are traps and it’s difficult to reach the tree.
Thus ensuring werewolves can catch and mate with us.
If the wolf desires he can get intimate with us in the forest before marking.
But after the marking only we truly bond with them.
This was so much information and I thought that I really need to win this hunt. I don't want any mate. That is for sure, and I am intended to keep it that way.
When the night falls we were provided dinner and were escorted to our rooms.
After a good relaxing hot bath I was ready for bed.
I chose a black silk nighty which came to my mid thighs with some dark pink bow. Earlier we were provided with beauty products for the skin care.
Because in three days we are to be polished and all crap like that.
So I applied the requested aromatic creams, wished good night to Darkena who seems little distant from the world and cuddled under the silk sheets.
Little did I know that tomorrow my only solace in here will be taken from me.
So much little that I fell into a dream less comfortable sleep.
