"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
Even though both of them do not possess a threat and are still humans, my wolf cannot deny the fact that I am having cold feet at the moment. Shit. I should have stopped Karen from telling them the lie about us having a relationship. My conscience could have told them the truth so that I will not be put into a tough position like this. From the way I see it in their eyes, her parents are about to bombard me with millions of inescapable parental questions. I could not believe they will have to make my relationship with Karen a big deal. "Young Master, can you check on Ms. Clarkson, please?" politely asks her mom but her furious backstabbing eyes were pointed at me. "It seems that Karen's boyfriend is ashamed when someone listens to our conversation." "I'll go check with the Young Master, honey. An ambulance is on the way." Karen's dad offered. "but make sure you have to say everything he needs to hear from our perspective, okay?" Karen's mom nodded shortly with
Later in the evening, I have been standing in front of the mirror for almost two hours having a hard time considering which side of my hair I have to flip in order to look better in Karen's eyes. Either way, my face looks the same no matter which side I pick. Apart from that, I haven't chosen what to wear so that I could look presentable and appealing. My wolf has to impress her parents on my first day to visit their house. Though my relationship with her was simply an agreement because of the wolf bond that was linked between us, we still have to nail it since her parents already agreed to it. After a few hours of considering things, I decided to wear something comfortable. It was already dark outside so, my instinct thinks getting properly dressed is no longer necessary. Besides, thinking about it only ruins my mood. So I hailed a cab and began my journey heading to my uncertainty. "Dad... Mom..., Melvin is already here!" yells Karen the second she greete
"Why not stay for the night, Mr. Parker?" offers Mr. Stanford as soon as he and his wife appear behind us. As far as I can see there is no one out of the twenty men with them. "And besides, it's getting late already if you travel back to your apartment," added Mrs. Stanford. "We already know where you live, Mr. Parker. It will take you almost an hour when you get there." "On top of that, you can't get any cab in this place this late, Melvin." to my surprise, Karen crosses her hands around my shoulder and leans her head. "After all, I chose you among the twenty men earlier." I don't know if my heart and mind should be pleased by that unexpected announcement coming from Karen's mouth. She even breathes that out in front of Mr. and Mrs. Stanford, both of her parents. But why me? My bank account barely had a thousand dollars. I don't have a huge mansion. I hailed a cab heading to their place because my family doesn't own Lamborghini, Ferarri, Mustang, or any expensive
"No, it's fine, really," I slowed the speed of the car until we got parked in the corner of the road, then adjusted my shoulder next to her. "would that be enough?" Karen suddenly smirks at me as though something from what I did or said amused her. "how about a kiss?" she proposed. Her proposal, however, managed to drag down the bulk of the water that blocks my throat when my wolf did not expect that to come from Karen's thoughts. So, I stealth a glimpse at her face, trying to internalize the thought of our lips being rubbed with each other. I am not a good kisser as Jelian confessed to me but seeing Karen's lips arouse this part of me that I have no control over. While holding onto that thought, my heartbeats began to race. My body temperature began to rise like hell, especially when she licks her lips with her tongue while looking at the mirror in her hand. "So, what do you think?" she added after putting on lipstick. She's extremely stunning with red lips
"No, I'm not saying like that, okay?" I defensively said back. "What am trying to say is that, we should get hold of your anger issues, one step at a time. And of course, we need to find a way to delete this CCTV footage Julian has." "What about your girlfriend?" she asks. "You mean Jelian?" I scoff. "come on, Karen. I know you already know that Jelian and I are nothing now." then I shrugs her off before I added, "my girlfriend is walking with me right now." That was supposed to be to humor Karen but she seems to have hated the thought of it when she suddenly stops walking forward. To my surprise, her tears began pouring from her eyes with her lips were also trembling. "Melvin, look," she utters and removes my shoulder from her. I follow the point of her eyes heading to our right side - to the freedom wall of our school. Our school built a 24 ft. tall freedom wall built with concrete bricks for the students to draw or post something free of charge. Those
So I scan the entire space to check if anything was left. However, even after a few minutes of searching, my wolf could no longer see anything that belongs to me. As though my sole existence in the building was removed for good. "Thank you so much, Miss Stanford. Melvin is such a good kid. He never brought someone into his apartment until you told me." "No. The pleasure is mine, Mrs. Ledisma. Don't worry, I will inform Melvin about your concern." Karen said back. Both their eyes broadened upon seeing me getting furious as soon as they step foot into the empty apartment. "What the hell is going on?" I ask both of them. Karen smiled at me before she drags her eyes to Mrs. Ledisma, the landlord of the building. "And where did my things go?" "I think that's my cue for me to head out," says Mrs. Ledisma in an awkward tone. "Anyway, I let you two talk about this, lovebirds." she giggles before she evacuated the room, leaving me and Karen. "What are you doing, Karen?" I ask her again,
"Don't worry, Melvin," says Mr. Stanford. "We know you are not going to hurt us in your monster form, are you?" his question even made me feel more skeptical. I mean, of all the favor they can ask me, that one thing I cannot dare do have been requested. Even if I am no longer part of a pack, and I can do whatever I want, my wolf still follows the universal law of being one: to uphold our secrets to humans. "He can't hurt you guys, but my wolf might." Karen smirks at them before she drags her gaze at me and added, "It's all right, Melvin. As mom said earlier, they already made some digging. Mom and dad simply want to see an actual one." At first, my wolf felt hesitant, not because they are safe from me, but because I am having a hard time accepting the fact that I'd be shifting in front of humans. Both parents of the woman whom I turn into a monster. Karen then pulls the door close to make sure no one could see and hear what is bound to happen apart from her and
