"I bet your confused, and maybe even a little scared, yes?" He asks, and with slight hesitation, I nod.

"Well, I'm here to show you that you don't need to be scared, and that you are not here to get hurt."

I've just finished both my glass of orange juice and my 2 slices of toast, best meal ever, by the way.

"First off, my name is Ezekiel, and that man who jumped you is Vasya, well that's his nickname."

He looks me up and down once more, and smiles before continuing, "Do you know how you got here?"

I think for a moment, deeply trying to remember what led up to me being here. "I was in the forest, camping with some of my friends." I stop there, but the look on his face is telling me to keep going.

I sigh, "I woke up for a drink, and I noticed that 2 of my friends were missing, I guessed that they were together, hooking up or something but then I noticed something looking at me, but when I looked in the direction it was gone. I was going to just go back to sleep, but I could smell one of my friends perfumes, so I decided to follow it into the woods."

Looking back on it, that was stupid of me, and I guess it's my own fault that I'm in this situation right now.

"I walked around for a good hour and a half, and then I was lost. I found a log and just sat down, too tired. And then.."

I stop, realising that what I was going to say next sounded crazy. A wolf cuddling with me? Sounds 100% believable.

"You can tell me, I promise i won't judge."

I hesitate, but just decide on telling him, maybe if they think I'm crazy they will let me go.

"I saw a...gorgeous wolf, and he came up to me, and just- I don't know how to explain it, but it made me feel..weird. And the next thing I know, I wake up here. Still believe me?"

With no hesitation he replies, "Of course I believe you." I fury my eyebrows at this, "You do?" I question, confused. "Yes, we have a lot of wolves in this area, and they are always friendly."

"Oh. Well, can you tell me how I went from hugging a wolf, to being inside a bedroom, with no escape, to then being claimed by someone and-"

His chuckle cuts me off, and I stop mid sentence, giving him a 'what's so funny' look. "Sorry, Luna. I mean no disrespect, the way you speak is entertaining."

"Entertaining?" I question, and only get answered with a small nod.

"Anyway, time to get serious." He pauses, his eyes going dull for a moment or two, before he stands up from his chair, and walks around for me, offering me a hand.

"Please follow me."

I do as he says, and place my hand is his, following him down a series of bends and turns, before we stop outside a room with what looks to be a office of some sort. He knocks on the door twice, then takes a step back.

I watch intently as his eyes glaze over once again, and then he is smiling down at me, releasing his hand from mine and urging me forward.

"Go on in, he's waiting for you."

I take a guess that the 'he' is the man who jumped me, the one who I woke up in bed with.

"He as in-"

He cuts me off, "yes, he as in the one who claimed you."

Well this will be fun.
