Part 1Transported to the Beast World: The Wolf King's Exclusive Mate and Our Eight Cubs The wolf clan's bloodline was fading.

Lucas, the Wolf Prince, had lived for a thousand years. Though feared throughout the shapeshifter realm, he showed no interest in romance.

The Wolf Queen Mother was frantic, as beauties from various clans lined up outside the royal den.

I'm Lily, a poor girl from the modern world who accidentally fell into this realm of shapeshifters.

After crossing over, by a twist of fate, I stumbled into the Wolf King's chambers.

On the day of his engagement to the Tiger Princess, I ran away carrying a litter of wolf cubs.

Years later, I was busy feeding meat to eight little wolf pups.

He pushed open my courtyard gate, looking as pitiful as a basset hound.

"Lily, do you really not want me anymore?"

I never expected to fall into a world of shapeshifters. One moment I was picking herbs for my grandmother in the mountains, the next I found myself in a strange land filled with half-human, half-animal creatures.

Before I could get my bearings, a group of wolf patrols surrounded me. They were about to dispose of me when an old leopard lady intervened and brought me to the wolf territory.

Growing up isolated in the mountains with only my grandmother, I was naive about the outside world. At first, I thought I could treat these beast-people like the small animals back home. But when I tried to pet their heads and ears, their fierce looks scared me away. They were more intimidating than the Tibetan mastiffs in my village!

The leopard granny was kind to me though, just like my own grandmother. She wanted me to help with chores, but unfortunately, I was clueless about this world. Instead of helping, I caused all sorts of trouble - tearing precious scrolls while organizing bookshelves, nearly burning a hole in the floor after spilling potions...

Exasperated, the leopard granny eventually brought me before the Wolf Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was pleased with my curvy figure, whispering to her attendant:

"This little human would make a good surrogate, though she seems rather simple-minded and naive."

"That's fine for a surrogate. She'll be easy to deal with once we have a new princess."

I didn't understand what they meant by "surrogate" or "new princess". I only cared that the leopard granny said I could survive here if I slept in the Wolf Prince's bed for one night.

And so, I was happily led to Prince Lucas's chambers. At the entrance, I saw a group of wolf beauties gathered there. They were clearly unhappy about my arrival. One silver wolf beauty even deliberately threw my luggage into the most remote corner of the courtyard.

It wasn't until evening that I first saw the Wolf Prince. He had a pair of fluffy wolf ears on his head, but his face was so handsome I couldn't look away!

"You... you're so handsome..." I blurted out.

Lucas was taken aback, seeming to develop some interest in this human. He leaned in to sniff me, then looked me up and down thoughtfully.

This scene infuriated the other wolf beauties in the courtyard. From then on, they bullied me relentlessly. If they weren't threatening to tear my throat out with their fangs and claws, they were putting bugs in my food. For days, I couldn't eat a proper meal.

Most wolves ate raw meat, which I simply couldn't stomach as a human. When I was starving and couldn't take it anymore, I remembered what the leopard granny said - I just needed to sleep in the prince's bed for one night to survive and get good food.

So in the dead of night, I snuck into the prince's chambers. The room was empty, so I climbed right into bed and under the covers.

Soon after, Lucas entered. He walked in while undressing, heading straight for the bath. Through the misty steam, I could only make out his muscular waist and the smooth lines of his muscles.

This was the first time in my life seeing a naked man! My face burned as I watched, when suddenly he turned around. I quickly ducked under the covers, not knowing how much time passed.

He stood by the bed, looking down at the little mound I made under the blanket.

"Come out," his voice commanded from outside, full of pressure.

I timidly peeked out, patting the pillow next to me. "Prince, shall we... sleep together?"

Lucas raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "What's your name?"

"Lily," I answered honestly.

As he spoke, he seemed to focus only on my lips, his breathing growing heavier. Then he turned and went back to the bath, emerging again moments later.

His eyes were even redder than before, his breathing ragged as if struggling to suppress something.

"I... I was recently injured and have some evil energy I'm having trouble controlling," he said. "Lily, I want you now. Is that okay?"

Want me? What did he mean? I was confused by his burning gaze.

"If I say yes, will you give me food? Will I get to live?" I asked.

He chuckled softly and nodded.

Hearing there would be food, I perked up immediately. "Then hurry up! I want to eat after!"

The next second, he pinned me to the bed. His kisses came like a storm, making me dizzy. I felt like I was melting into a puddle.

In my daze, he tore off all my clothes. Suddenly, intense pain jolted me awake. I tried to push him away.

"It hurts! I don't want to anymore. I don't need food!"

He gently kissed away my tears, whispering soothing words, but his movements only grew more fierce. My protests and struggles seemed to fuel his frenzy.

"Be good, just relax. It will feel better soon," he murmured.

I cried from the pain, but he seemed intoxicated, pinning me down for what felt like forever before finally stopping.

Afterwards, I clung tightly to his arm. "You promised. I want food."

Lucas stroked my head indulgently, looking thoroughly satisfied. He immediately called for a table full of delicious food to be brought in.

And just like that, I - a human who had only arrived days ago - inexplicably became the first person to sleep with the Wolf Prince.
