In a mansion bedroom, there's a man named Jayden Braxton, 28, with brown medium-level hair and amber eyes. At that time, it was raining heavily. Lightning and thunder also rumbled. At that moment, the curse occurs to him. He screamed in pain, holding his neck as his neck felt like it was being strangled. His fingers were bleeding because his nails were forcibly lengthened and his nails were also growing sharp to a length of 15 cm. He felt his whole finger like it was broken and it caused his hands to tremble in pain.

His elongated fangs, upper and lower, make him scream in pain as his teeth are forced to extend up to 10 cm. His elongated fangs also caused his gums to bleed. His mouth was full of blood and dripping on his white clothes and the floor. His face and hands also grew a little white fur. His ears also change to the shape of pointed ears and have fur.

He looked at the window of the room. Though it was not clear, his physical change was still noticeable and he saw the change in his physical form. He hated to see himself.

"What am I? A Monster? Arrrghhh!!!!! I hate this!"

Because of being too angry and holding back the pain. He scratched the wall. He broke the things in the room. He groaned in pain and screamed with all his might. Due to exhaustion, he fainted on the floor, and his body slowly returned to normal.

At dawn, a man named Xander Sullivan, 28, with short black hair and green eyes, is Jayden's devoted servant. He entered Jayden's room. He looked at the condition of the room, which was badly damaged. Blood was also smeared on the floor. He approached Jayden, who was lying on the floor, and examined his body, which had blood stains. He took off Jayden's clothes, then he took a clean cloth from the bathroom and wiped the blood stains on his fingers, body, and mouth after he finished cleaning him. He carried Jayden to the bed and covered him with a blanket, and then he left the room.

Early in the morning, Jayden opened his eyes, and he felt his whole body was still a little sore. He got out of bed and came to a halt, seeing the condition of the room. He ignored it and went to the bathroom. While taking a shower, he looked at his face in the mirror and felt angry at himself.

"How long do I have to bear this curse? I'm fed up with it. Is this curse going to kill me? Damn it! My life is so pathetic."

After finishing the shower, he put on black pants, a white shirt, and a black blazer. He left the room and headed to the dining room. He stopped in front of the door because he saw his father and mother at the dining table. He sighed and made his way to the dining table and sat down.

His father had short brown hair and amber eyes and was named Fabian Braxton. He was 140 years old. His mother was blonde, had amber eyes, and was named Camilla Braxton. She was 135 years old.

"Yesterday you suffered again, right?"

When he heard his father's question and solemn expression, he knew his father would nag him again.

"I'm fine." He tried to avoid his father's question.

"You aren't fine, Jayden. You know how worried we are about you?" His mother slammed the table, making him shocked.

"You're getting married. You have to get married to get on with your life. There's no reason not to get married this time, and I feel it would be better not to hear any excuses from you anymore." He was tired of hearing his father keep repeating the same thing about marriage every time they met. He really opposed the marriage, and he also didn't know whom he wanted to marry because he was single.

"Dad, I don't love anyone, and there's no one for me to marry."

"I'll find a partner for you. You don't have to worry." His father still insisted and made him stressed.

"But how can I marry someone I don't love?"

"My dear, as long as you are married and have a child, your curse will be lessened, and you will not suffer it every month, and your life span will also be longer. You are already 28 years old. If you are not married and have a child in a few years, we're worried you will die. As parents, we don't want that to happen." What his mother said was right, but because of his stubbornness, he didn't want to follow their order. He is upset and stressed because there is no solution unless he gets married and has a child.

He stood up and looked at his parents. "I'm not hungry. Both of you continue having breakfast without me." Jayden made his way out of the dining room. He didn't want to hear anymore of his parents' nagging. His parents sigh at Jayden's stubbornness; they were clueless about how to persuade him into marriage. In the living room, Xander stood waiting for Jayden. When he saw Jayden, he came near him.

"Master, do you want to go to the office today?"

"No, I don't feel like going to the office today."

"Where are you going?"

"I want to go to the villa,"

Both of them headed for the white sedan. Jayden sat in the back, and Xander drove. Xander glanced at Jayden through the rear-view mirror. He wants to talk to Jayden about the marriage because he overheard their conversations, so he brought it up.

"Master, I think you need to consider what your parents told you. Your condition is getting worse. We don't know what will happen in the next month. Why are you still hesitating? Is it because of Amayah?" Jayden just kept quiet and looked outside.

"Just forget about her; everything is going to be alright." Jayden sighed and closed his eyes. He wants some peace, but Xander also, by bringing up the marriage, gives him a headache.

In an apartment, there's a young woman with tailbone-length hair, blonde hair, and marble-gray eyes. This beautiful young woman is named Ember Sawyer, and she is aged 25. Ember owned a florist shop with her cousin. Today they closed the shop, so she's just staying at home. She was dancing while cooking when she received a phone call.

She picked up the call, "Hello, Papa, what's the matter?"

"Ember, can you help me send my file to the company I'm working for? I left it in the desk drawer in my room. I need it soon. The meeting will start at 9 a.m."

"Okay, Papa, I'll be right there."

Ember looked at the clock; it was already 8.20 in the morning. She stopped cooking, went to her father's room, picked up the brown file, and left the house as soon as possible. Ember hailed a taxi and boarded the taxi. At that time, the road was congested, and the time was already 8.40 a.m. Ember was worried if she didn't have enough time to send her father's file. Ember paid the taxi fare and got off. She ran into the company her father worked for. Her father worked at an architecture company as a team leader.

In front of the company building, Ember ran in and bumped into Jayden's parents. Ember was shocked and tried to explain to them the reason she was in a hurry.

"I'm sorry, madam. It is not my intention. I was rushing because I wanted to give this meeting file to my father."

Camilla was stunned to see Ember's beauty and manners. She thinks she was the perfect partner for Jayden.

"It's okay, we understand."

Ember bowed to them and entered the company building. Ember got into the elevator and went to the 8th floor, where her dad worked. The elevator opened, and Ember's father was waiting for her in front of the elevator. Ember's father had short, light-brown hair and marble-gray eyes. He was 53 years old and was named Damian Sawyer.

"Papa, I brought your file just in time."

"Thank you, Ember, they postponed the meeting to 9.30 a.m." He was laughing and scratching his head because he felt guilty seeing Ember in a hurry and sweating.

"Papa, you should have to tell me. I was in such a hurry that I bumped into someone." Ember complained, but her father laughed at her grumbling instead. While they are still standing in front of the elevator, Jayden's parents, Fabian and Camilla, exit the elevator. Damian saw them and quickly greeted them.

"Good morning, Mr. Fabian and Mrs. Camilla."
