Leaving no choice, I search for an empty but bigger table that can cater to their number before I could get a yelling from our ruthless manager. She already gives me a warning for being late on my first day of work. I need this job as it was way better compared to being a librarian. Working in the restaurant not only gives me a reasonable paycheck but also allows us to bring home leftover food. Getting leftovers, most if not all, nights could help me minimize spending dough for my dinner, or if given the chance, my breakfast could also be saved by that. "Can I have your orders now?" I respectfully asked them. And of course, with a smile on my face. "Can you just wait for us to call you?" Julian furiously said back on everyone's behalf, including Karen. "we got seated here like for three minutes." Part of me wanted to drop the order sheet to the table and stab the pen I was holding straight into Julian's eyes when my patience is getting thin already. If
My wolf then notices that Johndale swiftly enhances his werewolf senses while scanning the atmosphere including everyone's faces who are coming in and out of the main entrance. "We are attending the twin's party. Why? Are we in the wrong place? And who are you by the way? Are you a student from our school? Why am I not knowing you? Do you know my name?" Johndale simply asks us one question yet Karen bombarded him endlessly. I did not even expect that coming from her. But then again, I cannot blame Karen for that when I haven't introduced her to Johndale. "Before anything else, Karen, this man in front of us, is Johndale. Johndale, this woman beside me is Karen. You were the one that I confessed to each of you recently." Johndale suddenly drags me into the corner, leaving Karen alone from our spot. "You even told her about our secrets?" he could not help but raise his voice at me. "She already knows about me." I defensively said back. "So, I guess there's noth
"What? So you two intentionally waited for me before you could kill her?" my wolf quickly jump and land on in front of Karen before Julian could lay even the tip of his claws on her. Julian and Jelian suddenly exchange glances. The kind of glance that is telling me to get ready when something I less like is bound to happen at any second. No matter what happens, my wolf is going to protect Karen from them. They have to pass through me first before they could kill her. I know my wolf is being outnumbered. The possible battle is two against one. However, I know everything about Jelian. About how fast and strong is. Not enough to beat someone like me alone. Julian, on the other hand, is thrice faster and stronger than his twin sister. Even if our wolves did not tag along that much when Jelian and I are still mated, I heard rumors that Julian managed to beat four older wolves in one battle. He is not the kind of wolf I should feel at ease. I know my limitations a
As a result of exerting much of my wolf's force, Julian's claws were also extracted from my shoulder and his body was thrown away. My wolf risked flashing in Karen's direction to help her but Julian managed to stop me from doing so. He bumped into my body right before breaking my right leg. But it did not stop me from trying hard to save Karen. And I will make sure before the night end, Karen will be riding her car again heading back to her home. "Try harder, Melvin." Julian viciously uttered. "Then try harder stopping me, Julian," I uttered back right after flipping the broken bones of my leg back to its position. I barely moan despite the pain when I press my gums harder not to produce sound. As soon as my legs finally healed, I flash back to the tree again, this time, by jumping on top of Julian. High enough the only thing he did is to look at me cutting off the ropes that were tied on Karen's feet. "Behind you," she uttered in a faint tone. "What?
"And it's all your fault, you idiot!" there is no turning back from what I said to Julian. Call it disrespectful considering Julian has a noble name to uphold, but I have no regrets about saying that to him. He and Jelian deserve not to be respected. So, I shortly took a glimpse at Karen using one eye in the corner while the other eye was pointed back at Julian. As far as I can see, Karen's wolf started to ease off when I could no longer sense the rage inside her. Let alone she keeps on whimpering in the corner. And her legs were trembling. Her actions are an indication to me that her wolf no longer possesses a threat to the wolves around us. I just don't know what her circle of human friends thought about her. What if some of them recognize her? "Are you kidding me, Melvin? Don't you realize that you and your little wolf are outnumbered? Give her to us if you still want to live longer." Julian said. "And if I don't?" I insisted despite the undesirable
There are no signs of bluff or any lies in Draku's facial expression when he let out those words. Getting back to the pack, huh? I haven't experienced any difficulties since I was removed from the pack yet. However, I know for a fact a lone wolf can barely survive in the human world. My voice will not be heard in times of crisis. I'll become useless, be the target of discrimination, and freely expose to risks. Not that I don't trust Draku's words, but I owed him my life. Karen also owed her life to him. If he did not show up, perhaps bad things already happened to us. "Are you kidding me?" Julian spells out his disapproval. "you already disbanded and disowned that bastard from the pack, Alpha Draku. Everyone in the pack knows that. What do you think your members would think if they will know this nonsense, huh?" Draku turned his face back to Julian. "What everyone knows is that Karen is not one of us, Julian. And they know the one-week allocation I allotted to Me
And why there are no cops or ambulances who notice the incident? Did he even dial 9-1-1 to get rescued? Well. What else could I expect from someone with a brain issue? "I'm taking her to my place, would that be okay?" my arms could not wait for his response considering his condition, so I gently lifted Chloie's body and rush her to my apartment. The man with autism did not complain but he followed me instead. As soon as I set Chloie's body next to Karen, I inhaled deeply in disbelief when the man simply wander the tiny space of the apartment instead of helping to clean Chloie's bleeding body. I grab the bucket full of warm water from the corner which I once used to clean Karen and used the white cloth to wipe off the blood that stains Chloie's shirt. Who could have thought I could use them again on someone? Speaking of Karen, her body already stopped shivering. Her high body temperature, however, remains feverish thirty minutes ago when I left the apartment to buy
"You stay out of this, young man..." added her dad, whose glares are stabbing me with thousands of sharpened knives. "We don't want to see more blood right now." I don't know what was that supposed to mean, but I shut off my mouth before everything gets worse. So, I waited for them to break into the apartment. Their expressions combined not just give my wolf cold feet, but fear as well. Fear that I might leave with no option but to tell them the truth about why Karen stayed in my apartment last night. Terrified that my secret might get unfolded to the humans. I am not ready for the world to look at me as a monster yet. Needless to say, Alpha Dragu and the entire pack might despise me furthermore. When they were about to get in, Mr. and Mrs. Stanford glued their feet on the floor while staring at Charles stretching out his arms and yawning. "Mr. and Mrs. Stanford?" similar to them, Charles was also stunned and dumbfounded while staring into each other's eyes. "Young Master?" Mr
