    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 themon


    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 bing


    the Lycan King’s Luna. So, if anyone gets to go into his bedroom to do hisundry 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 ferociousnesses


    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.


    Theyughed but did so quietly as to not disturb the Lycan King. "You can''t be serious, right?"


    I looked at the ck-haired girl who always seemed to be glued to Anny’s hip.


    I remember her being in my English ss—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,” rissa spoke up. We were in the same art


    ss 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.


    I sighed.


    If it’s the most important task on the list, someone has to do it, okay? You guys can fight over who


    wants to make the Lycan King breakfast or whatever.


    I''m going to go clean the kennel and just get the hell out of this pce for a little bit”


    I made my way outside before any of them could protest any further.


    I walked around the pce and to the spacious backyard and noticed that it waspletely on the


    opposite end of the main wing of the pce.


    Thank the Goddess...


    It’s a lot further away from where the Lycan King stays. Arge cage sat in the backyard and was


    covered with blood and feces.


    The smell was so rancid I thought I was going to throw up. Even if Cerberus is a beast, he deserves


    clean living conditions...


    The supplies in the back shed were more than helpful with cleaning up the horrible-looking cage.


    It was like it hadn''t been cleaned in such a long time. Even if Cerberus was a beast, he still deserved


    clean living conditions. After I was done, I was getting ready to put up the cleaning supplies when a


    rush of hot breath washed over me.


    I slowly turned around to see Cerberus standing no more than 20 feet from me. Howe I didn''t hear


    him at all? When we made eye contact, Cerberus came rushing toward me with such intense speed.


    I closed my eyes tightly and braced myself for the worse. Well, I didn''t think I was going to die this way


    but the girls did warn me of this... But the pain I imagined was going to strike me never came.


    I opened my eyes to see one of Cerberus''s heads sniffing at my feet, while the other licked at my chin.


    The third looked at me with a curious expression.


    I couldn''t suppress the smile from forming on my face. “You''re just a giant dog..”


    Slowly, I stretched my hand forward to let Cerberus get used to my scent.


    Then after he licked my hand, I began to pet him. Confidence washed my fears away and I knew it was


    at that moment that he didn’t mean any harm.


    I then reached into my pocket to pull out some dog food that I had stashed away.


    The dog kibble looked like any old kind you could find in a pet store, and honestly, I was skeptical that a


    dog like Cerberus ate this stuff.


    L opened my palm to let Cerberus eat the food out of my hand but instead, he sat upright and refused


    to go near it. “Aren''t you hungry?” I held my hand up to Cerberus’s face. He turned his noses upright


    and away from the food again. “Is there something wrong with the food? Why won''t you eat this?” “You


    call this food? I''m Cerberus—a loyal pet and guardian to the Lycan King.


    I only eat fresh meat”


    I took a step back and shook my head. When I saw that no one was around me, I looked back at


    Cerberus with a confused look. “You understood me?” “I believe I should be the one asking you that


    question,” Cerberus responded. “I... You know what? Let''s just get you that fresh meat”


    I honestly didn''t have the mental capacity to process what was going on or how I was able to talk to


    Cerberus, so I decided that it was going to be future me''s problem to deal with. After I snuck into the


    kitchen to get a b of raw beef and threerge chicken breasts, I ended up spending the rest of the


    afternoon with Cerberus. He was like any other dog that enjoyed running around in a spacious yard


    and ying catch. Surprisingly, I was enjoying myself.


    I didn’t think experiencing positive emotions was something possible at the Lycan King''s castle. My


    right arm began to ache; undoubtedly because of the burn injury.


    Iid on thewn to rest as my mind swirled with the uncertainness of my future.


    This is my life now... A servant to a cold-blooded killer whose dog I can apparentlymunicate with.


    I turned my head to the side and saw Cerberusying next to me. He licked my hand gently as if he


    was trying tofort me. And while I wanted to get up to go and rest in my room, I found myself unable
