"So you were saying I am just going to watch her being taken away by those people?" I debated with Razel. "Is she not important to you, huh?" Razel inhaled and exhaled shortly before he orders his friends to let go of their grip on me. Part of me wanted to ignore his advice but, on the other hand, it also made me think that the werewolf hunters' bullets can move faster than my wolf. I might only worsen the situation if my wolf is going to strike our enemies without any backup plan. "As much as Felise is important to you, Ezra, you cannot change the fact she was once my girlfriend. And I still love her more than anyone in this world. But we must not do something reckless." The only thing I did in the situation is a glance at Felise being taken away by those men out of the woods. She did not fight back because her entire strength was completely drained after her forceful shift. As soon as Felise and the werewolf hunters finally disappeared from our sight, I expec

Razel wasn't convinced. "I don't buy it," he said, his voice rising again. "I saw the way you were looking at each other. You were practically undressing each other with your eyes." Felise stepped forward again, her voice trembling. "Razel, please, you have to believe me. Nothing is going on between us. Ezra and I are just friends, that's all." My stepbrother hesitated for a moment, then seemed to come to a decision. "Okay, fine," he said, his voice softer now. "I believe you. I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions." I let out a sigh of relief, grateful that the situation hadn't escalated further. "Thank you, Razel," I uttered. "I'm glad we can all be mature adults about this." Razel nodded, then turned to Felise. "But I think it's best if we go home now," he said. "It's getting late, and your parents might get mad at you for letting two gentlemen stay in your apartment." Felise looked me in the eye, disappointment etched on her face. "I guess you guys should go,

As soon as I got back to the convenience store, my wolf could not help but think about how to convince Felise. She already said her thoughts about joining a pack, but that doesn't mean I must stop now. It was simply the beginning. The time would come she will realize the importance of having a family of the same kind. She simply needs a little push. My wolf has been working in the convenience store for several months now. While it paid the bills, I knew that it was not the path I wanted to take in life. I had always dreamed of attending college and obtaining a degree to set myself up for a successful career as a human if my wolf failed to succeed. However, I was unsure of how to start the process. One day, while working my shift, a student came into the store to purchase some snacks. I noticed the student wore a university jacket and hesitated before asking a question. But with eagerness in my heart, I gathered the courage to ask the student about the application process at thei

Two nights later, Felise and I walked nervously towards the pack who were gathering around a roaring bonfire in the forest clearing. She wears a white long gown as part of the ritual. The white long gown exudes an elegant and timeless beauty. Its long and flowing dress accentuates her silhouette, highlighting her curves and grace. And the purity and simplicity of the white fabric enhance her natural beauty, creating a sense of femininity and sophistication. The rays of the moon's reflection on the fabric create a soft glow, accentuating the radiance of her skin and adding to her ethereal presence. On top of that, the pristine fabric flowing with her movements, gives her an aura of grace and elegance, while the long trail adds to her legal demeanor. What was more interesting about it is that I think I am falling in love with her. "Don't give me that kind of look, Ezra." Felise broke the profound thoughts that were running through my head. "I'm not looking at you, Felise." I defen

"She'd be out in a few minutes," I said with a smile on my face, believing Razel stopped by to confront Felise about the training. His unexpected appearance in front of Felise's house could have told me a few reasons. It's either he did not believe me about helping Felise with her wolf so he visited to confront her about it. Or to stop her from seeing me because instead of the address I sent her for the meet-up, he went straight to Felise's house. But I cannot blame my stepbrother to think that way. After all, Felise is his everything. His first and last girlfriend. The love of his life. The reason he breathe and woke up every morning. And the light in his darkness. Three minutes later, Razel and I found Felise sneaking out of the house. I was about to greet her but my stepbrother preceded me. He even blocked my chest, his gesture to leave it to him. As the big brother, I swallowed my pride and let him greet his girlfriend. After all, I am the only one who turned
