I am Cedrick Mondragon, owner of almost all the most important businesses in the city, they belong to me. One of them is Mondragon Enterprises.

I am associated with an old family friend, the company consists of the production of fine porcelain, worked, carved, and hand-painted.

I also have various properties such as five-star hotels, I own some private airports and many more small businesses.

I run several charitable foundations for children in extreme poverty. Others benefit people with cancer, both foundations bear my last name.

...Mondragon...

The cut of my hair is in accordance with my profile, well-defined, thick eyebrows, the blue color of my eyes marks a somewhat ruthless look. My height is 6'3" I have a super well-toned body that I work on daily, although I seem like a cold man, without feelings, I am quite the opposite, only if they make me angry, they could know my dark side.

I live outside the city, in an old mansion. It can be seen from the side of the road.

From a distance, the house gives the impression that nobody lives there. Its old unpainted walls, the gardens are neglected, the trees are unpruned, it is as if it were an abandoned place.

I decided to go live there many years ago, when I was just a teenager of only 15 years old, my arrogance, and my bad heart.

I was always my mothers' favorite, and I believed that I had the world at my feet and that I could do whatever I wanted, I humiliated and despised poor people. Or whoever stood in front of me, for the mere fact of addressing me.

The imprudence led me to run into an old woman, who asked me for a few coins and, of course, I denied them to her and she cursed me.

"By day you will be human, by night you will be a beast, you will turn into a Wolf. Not with all the money in the world, you will be able to buy the true love of a woman to break the spell."

Those were the words of that old woman, I simply turned around and continued on my way, leaving the old woman almost speechless. When I got home I immediately went to my room, when I put my hand in one of the pockets of my pants, I found a spooky bracelet.

That even at that moment I did not understand, what it could be used for and today I am paying the consequences.

While watching that bracelet, I thought about the words of that woman for almost the whole day, I thought it was a joke, I did not give it much importance, because who can believe in the words of a dirty and filthy old woman, but since then. When night falls I become a Werewolf and on full moon nights I have to be chained up, so as not to attack people or commit any atrocities.

I am about to turn almost 30 years old and, as the old woman or witch said, I don't know what she is anymore.

But what is certain. I have not been able to find true love, the only woman I loved died of cancer. She was the only one who could stop this curse.

It is midday, the sun is hotter than other days, you can hear the noise of the cars passing by, the shouts of the people who offer their products to the customers who pass through that market, it is located on the outskirts of the city, where is the diner where a girl works, as a kitchen helper and serving tables, she is Lina.

I am Lina. I am 22 years old, I work in a small diner, in a market.

I have been working for more than five years since my father got sick and died, I took care of all the expenses, I work all day, now I only have one goal, to be able to go to university.

Despite how poorly cared for Lina is, the color of her skin is white, her long blonde hair shines more with the rays of the sun, she has an impressive gray eye color, that just by looking at her it is as if they spoke for themselves, her thin, very well-defined lips. Her facial features at first sight show that they come from a good family.

She is more than tired, it has been a day of a lot of clientele in the diner, that she can't take it anymore, the heat, the noise suffocate her more and more, and the customers scream asking for their food orders.

It has been a very heavy day for Lina, her workday is not over yet, since Lina works full time since she was 5 years old. From 5 in the morning to 6 in the afternoon.

The owner of the diner shouts at her. - Hurry up with that food order, take it to table 5. - Mr. Jose shouts at her.

- I'm coming - Lina runs out of the kitchen almost running with the tray in her hands carrying several food orders, she takes the opportunity to take other orders, so she is not late with the orders and the customers do not have to wait long for their food orders.

The minutes go by, until the diner is almost empty immediately, Lina immediately looks for all the ingredients to prepare cookies and breads, so they are ready for the next day.

While she is preparing the cookies, one of the girls who works with her says to her. - Lina, when will be the day that you stop working so much? -

To which she replies with a smile. - I have to save enough money to pay for my university, I want to continue studying - Lina says to the girl while putting one of the trays in the oven.

Lina's dream is to be able to go to university even if she has to study at night and continue working all day, only then will she be able to cover her expenses, she has everything well planned, so everything continues to the letter according to her plans.

*And so comes the time to go home, she's just finishing placing the cookies and breads in the display case. When she finishes, she takes out an old and antique cell phone from her pants pocket, the keys of which are barely visible. She checks the time and smiles, saying. - Well, it's time to go home* -

And so she resumes her routine of walking to get to where she lives. Despite having had a difficult day, Lina has no choice but to walk along the immense avenue with a lovely smile, observing the clothing stores

*She sighs deeply, and just thinking that she can't afford to buy new clothes, even though her clothes are quite worn, she cheers herself up. - Come on Lina, someday you'll be able to buy all that kind of beautiful clothes* -

*She keeps walking several blocks, but when she reaches the intersection, she doesn't pay attention and is almost run over by a car that stops suddenly. The driver managed to brake, jumps out running, telling her. - Are you okay, miss?* -

Lina gets up from the ground a little scared, because she didn't notice that cars were coming, and responds. - Yes, I'm okay - But she directs her gaze towards the car, inside there's a very handsome man who has been watching her through the window.

The blue color of his eyes makes her feel a little scared, that man is looking at her, as if he wanted to devour her with his gaze

Lina turns around and starts walking, Cedrick, who is inside the car, follows her with his gaze until he loses sight of her, his driver only watches him through the rearview mirror, because it has been a long time since he has seen his boss turn to look at a girl in that way

*Cedrick realizes that his driver is watching him, raises his eyebrows, and immediately says to him. - Start the car* -

When Lina arrives at her small house where she lives, which seems to be about to fall on top of her, the door, so old that it is, when she opens it, it's as if it were crying for help because of how ugly it creaks

But inside everything looks clean, even though things are already very old. She immediately goes to her bed and lies down for a while trying to rest, unsure if it's better to sleep on the floor. Because her old mattress has several springs sticking out that hurt her when she sleeps. After a while, she hears someone calling her. - Lina Lina

*She gets up immediately, turning on a lamp that barely illuminates. When she opens the door, the woman says to her. - I thought you weren't here, I just came for the rent money. - Lina goes back inside to find her purse, from which she takes out some bills and then hands them to the woman. - Here you go, ma'am, for this month* -

*- Alright, Lina, tell me when we're going to do business with that old car your father left you, it's just going to waste there* -

*Lina keeps looking at the woman and then says to her. - No, ma'am, I don't plan to sell it, it's the only thing I have left of my father, but if one day I decide to sell it, I'll let you know* -

The woman replies. - Think about it, Lina. - Then she turns around and leaves. Lina goes back into her house, for now she can be calm, she has paid the rent for where she lives. Then she goes to take a bath, and when she comes out, she starts repairing her shoe, which she unknowingly broke when she was about to be run over by the car

When she finishes repairing it, she goes to sleep, but she can't, she feels like someone is watching her, she hears noises outside that make her get goosebumps, she wraps herself in the sheets. But then the creepy gaze of that man comes to her mind, it scares her, she tries to cheer herself up until she falls asleep

The next day she gets up very early, 4 in the morning, goes into the bathroom, does her needs, and then changes clothes as quickly as she can, if not she'll be late for work

*When she's closing the door, she notices that there's a dog next to her door. - Oh Lina. And you're scared and it's just a poor dog sleeping here. - She says to herself* -

Then she resumes her routine of every day, walking to go to her work. When she's about to arrive, she meets her best friend's mother. Mrs. Beatriz

Lina, upon seeing her, immediately says. - Mrs. Beatriz, I'm so happy to see you, and tell me, how did Sofia come out of her treatment? - Lina is excited to see Mrs. Beatriz, because it had been a long time since she had heard from her

*But the lady doesn't respond, after several seconds of silence Beatriz responds to Lina with tears in her eyes. - That's why I'm here, I came to see you, my daughter Sofia died, she couldn't overcome her illness* -

*Lina felt her heart ache, her best friend was dead that she could not help but cry. - Mrs. Beatriz, I'm so sorry* -

No, don't worry Lina, I think it was the best thing, so she stopped suffering with the treatments, she stopped suffering, my poor girl. Go home, I have some things that Sofia asked me to give you. -

*- Alright ma'am, I'll go on my day off, I'll also take the opportunity to visit her grave* -

Lina says goodbye to Mrs. Beatriz, she doesn't understand why the lady went to look for her at that hour, because it's too early, she should have waited for it to dawn a little more

*She only sees the lady getting back into her car and driving away from there, then Lina says to herself. - I can't believe my friend has died* -

Then she wipes her tears and heads to the market to finish getting to the diner where she works, when she arrives Mr. Jose is waiting for her, and when he sees her arrive, he immediately says.

- Come on Lina, let's have a coffee before we start our workday. -

Lina gives a half-smile as she pours herself a cup of coffee with a piece of bread and goes to Mr. Jose. - Good morning, Mr. Jose. - But her words sound sad

- What's wrong, Lina? You seem a little down, girl. - Mr. Jose says, looking her in the eyes

- Nothing, sir, I'm just sad. My friend's mother came to see me and gave me bad news. Her daughter, my friend Sofia, died. She had been sick for a long time -

- Poor girl, I'm sorry, Lina. - Mr. Jose pauses, and then says. - You say she was sick for a long time. At least, Lina, she's stopped suffering -

- Yes, that's what Mrs. Beatriz told me. - Lina takes a sip of coffee, and soon after, some customers start to arrive. Lina starts serving them coffee with bread, and in a few minutes, her two co-workers arrive, and each of them starts with their respective tasks. This is how the first hours of the morning pass

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the city, in the old mansion, Cedrick is in his cold, dark room. He wakes up lying on the floor, almost naked, looking around, trying to see where he is. - Dammit, again -

**- When will the day come when all this ends? - At that moment, his employee, driver, and friend Willy enters and says to him -.

Cedrick, remember that in a few days, it will be a full moon -**

- I know, I don't forget. I don't know how much longer I can take it. Sometimes I think it would be better to be dead than to be living this damned hell every night -

- You know very well what the cure is, you just have to find the girl who really falls in love with you. - It's time to let go of the memories and start over, sir -

- You know I can't. - Cedrick tells Willy as they enter the bathroom to take a shower. Willy says to him. - Tell me now, where did you go? -

Cedrick replies. - I don't know, lately I don't remember where I go anymore -

- You should try not to go out, you could be seen. Until now, no one has discovered you. But if that were to happen, they could shoot you or worse, they could kill you -.

Cedrick is left thinking about what Willy has just told him.

- You're right, I hadn't thought of that -

A few minutes later, Cedrick comes out of the bathroom with only a towel around his waist. When he is in front of the enormous mirror, he notices that he has a slight scratch on his side. Willy says. - How did you get that? -

- I don't know, now that I was showering, I felt it hurting, but I didn't think I was injured -.

Willy goes for the first aid kit. - See what I mean? -

Willy treats Cedrick's wound. Once he finishes, Cedrick finishes getting dressed and leaves the room and heads to the exit of the house, where Willy and the four other men who are his security are already waiting for him.

Cedrick gets in the car with Willy and the other guys leave in another car

After an hour's drive, they are arriving at his company, as the CEO that he is. All the employees drool over him when they see him, they dream of becoming Mrs. Mondragon, but Cedrick hardly ever looks at them. His assistant immediately follows him to his office, bringing him all the pending matters he has for that day

Cedrick immediately says to her, with that deep and slightly hoarse voice, that makes anyone's hair stand on end. - What do I have for today? -

His assistant says to him. - You have a meeting at 1 pm with the new investors, then you have lunch at 3 and you have a meeting with your partner Mrs. Santos, in a few minutes, to be exact -

- Well, as soon as the lady arrives, let her in, I don't like to keep her waiting. - At that moment, a girl arrives wearing a slightly provocative dress showing her long legs and high heels, which make her look much taller. - Hello Cedrick, how are you? When will the day come when you accept to have dinner with me? -

Cedrick signals to his assistant to leave his office. The girl places herself on the wide desk, pushing aside the pile of documents. Cedrick unbuttons his jacket, places it behind his seat and then sits down saying - Ah, to what do I owe your visit, Blenda? -

The girl replies with a smile on her face. - I wanted to see you, that's why I came, since you don't invite me out, well, I came to invite you to dinner at my house -

Cedrick only looks at her sideways and says to her. - I'm afraid I couldn't attend that dinner, but I thank you for your invitation -.

- Why do you always say no to me, Cedrick? - The girl gets up from where she is sitting, approaches Cedrick leaning over almost showing him the voluptuousness of her breasts. - Or are you afraid of me, Cedrick, that's why you don't want to go to my house? -

Cedrick quickly pulls her by the arm in front of him, and sits her on his lap, Blenda is left without saying a word, she thinks that Cedrick did it, because something is going to happen between them at that moment, but Cedrick says to her. - You really want to know me, I don't think you'll like it -

After telling her this, Cedrick. Growls like a fierce animal, close to her ear which makes the girl scared and gets up quickly leaving the office, almost running. Cedrick laughs out loud and says. - And that you haven't seen anything yet, and you already ran away -

When he is about to continue with his pending matters, Mrs. Lilia Santos arrives. - What did you do to that poor girl, that she is so scared? -

Cedrick replies to Lilia very smiling for the prank, that he just did. - She wants to meet me and I just gave her a small demonstration and she ran away -

Lilia starts laughing out loud. - You'll never get a wife that way -.

Cedrick gives a long sigh and then says to her. You know it will be impossible. - Lilia just looks at him with affection, and says to him.

- Cedrick, you must give yourself another opportunity, to meet girls, who says that in one of them you will find the girl, who truly loves you selflessly -
