Vol.1 Ch.45 A Wolf Goes Out at Night.
Upon finishing dinner Rya pulled Dalia through the hallways of the estate until they made it back to their bedroom. Rya quickly entered the room without a second thought and was surprised to run into a maid, who was organizing and cleaning up the mess that they made earlier.
"T-The elf?... I-I mean, how should I address my Lady?" The maid asked.
'Good one Ryan. Now they think we're slobs. I'll have to be more careful from now on. I don't want the staff to look down on us.' Rya thought before answering her.
"Um... You can address me as Rya and my friend here is Dalia. And I'm sorry about the mess. Dalia and I had a... disagreement on what to wear for dinner," Rya replied.
The maid bowed. "Apologies, Miss Rya. It's alright. I'll get back to work." The maid said as she began to clean up the mess.
"Thanks," Rya said.
"No problem. I should be finished in a moment, Miss Rya." The maid said as she exited the room with a bow.
'I feel like I should help her... But I have no clue if I would be getting in her way... It's probably for the best that I give her space. She probably would freak out if a guest started cleaning up in front of her.' Rya thought to herself while taking Dalia to the bathroom. So she could clean off all the food and grease that was smeared all over her hands and face.

"Here you go, Miss Rya. Please try it on." The maid said.
Rya looked at the clothes and pulled out a white negligee.
"A-Are these really okay to wear?" Rya asked.
"Yes, I'm sure it'll look good on you. I have a good eye for this type of thing, Miss Rya," The maid replied with a proud smile.
She saw Rya was sprawled out while snoring lightly. Dalia smiled as she quietly got out of bed, making sure she didn't wake Rya.
*Sniff*

'Ah! Found the young one's scent. Time to mark you, little cub.' The wolfkin grinned. 'You're mine now...'
"Mmmm. Oh, Lady Dalia. I wou........... you-" Percy muttered in his sleep.
Dalia was surprised to find that Percy was dreaming about her. She watched as he continued to mumble.
'So the little cub dreams about me? Human males are so weird.' Dalia thought while her tail was wagging.
"Mmmmmmm, oh, Lady Dalia. I wouwwwww..."
Dalia felt her heart flutter hearing him say her name in his sleep. It made her feel warm and special, something she hadn't felt ever in her life. Demi-humans don't usually court each other in this way. Beastkin males would usually force the females to mate with the strongest male of the pack. So they could create a stronger pack. This was so foreign to her, that instead of pouncing on Percy right then and there. She decided to take a different approach.
'I don't know why I want to do this. But it's an interesting and weird idea... I just hope he doesn’t wake up... Don't disappoint me, little cub.' Dalia thought to herself.
