“This is stupid,” I had enough, “I’m gonna squeeze that information out of that old man.”
“He’s younger than both of us,” Ulrich sighed, “And you know why we haven’t done anything violent so far.”
“I know it’s to find a peaceful solution but there’s no longer a peaceful solution.” I let out an exasperated sigh, “Nobody wants to marry an old man and we need that information ASAP.”
“Well,” Ulrich sighed and turned his head to look out the window, “You’re right.” The sky had turned dark, “It was a stupid demand, to begin with.” He stood up from the couch and walked to the window, “Let’s go to the Nightcrawle
>>EgonTwo days went by but Ulrich couldn’t find Milia even though he had an address. I lay on the three-seater couch in the living room of the shared penthouse and scrolled through my phone while I waited for him to come back. I’m guessing the witch is messing with him. She might have kept a veil on the building she lives in just so that a Lycan can’t find her.It’s just a guess though, but I know I’m right.I was about to put my phone away when the screen lit up and the ringtone started.Ulrich was calling me.I answered the call and brought the phone to my ear, “Yea?” I spoke, “You’re not going to find the witch if you still
>>HarouInteresting.I smell something very amusing here. Egon’s reaction is too exaggerated for it to only be related to Ryan’s death.I looked toward the door.And Portia left the room soon after he came in. One could dismiss it as a basic courtesy but I sensed the awkwardness between the two. The moment Egon saw Portia his attitude and vibe shifted. At first, he was only stressed but now he’s furious.“But how did he find out??!” I walked around the room staring at him, studying his body language.He wasn’t meeting my gaze, he just kept his back to me, &ld
>>EgonI did not want to do this. I didn’t want to follow them both here and stare at them from across the street like some stalker while they both had their cutesy little date in the cafe by the window. I had no intention of acting like a creep yet my legs brought me here on their own.I gulped and clenched my fists tight to stop myself from doing anything irrational. But, at the same time, I couldn’t look away from them. My heart ached, shattering over and over again the more I looked at them. They sat across from each other, enjoying their time in their own bubble.The clouds that had assembled in the sky cast a shadow so wide it dimmed the environment and I could tell it was going to rain soon.
>>PortiaI was confused. Who wouldn’t be when a man is acting like that? From his actions, it seems he wants me, but from his words, it looks like he doesn’t.“Which is it,” My body started trembling as the cold from the rain began to seep into my bones, “This isn’t fair,” I shook my head at him as I felt my eyes sting. To give me such a sweet moment with that kiss, then leave like I’m sort of toy, “You’re being too cruel.” It was raining hard and I don’t know if he noticed it or not, but tears streamed down my cheeks as I continued to look at him.My heart was heavy. I felt burdened and I was scared. The confusion Egon causes me leaves me broken and I want it to end. It’s too hard to endure,
>>PortiaWhat do I do with all this?My hands still lingered in the air trying to grab something I couldn’t keep.What am I supposed to do now? How am I supposed to reject him when I know he doesn’t hate me but is only scared? I looked at the ground as the crushing sound of rain lightened.But,I pursed my lips.He doesn’t hate me. He’s just trying to protect me from that Lycan. I gulped and clenched my fists. But, why is he so scared of him? It’s not like that Lycan can just appear out of thin air. What is going on?… 
>>PortiaIt turns out, the case actually was serious.It calmed me down knowing that Egon really is trying to protect me by keeping me away from him. Although I don’t like how he did it, I’ll still accept it. This means there’s hope that I won’t be spending my life alone.“So you ended up spilling about the Alpha when you were talking to Miers?” Harou paced around his office, sloshing his wet shoes around the place “It makes sense, we finally have a clue as to why he suddenly went and killed him.” I watched the wet pattern disappear as his soles dried out.“But I didn’t even mention a name,” I replied, “I don’t even know the name of that Alpha.&rd
>>PortiaNo doubt his action startled me but deep down I was a little happy. Surprised at first but then gleeful, although I didn’t let it show on my face.His reaction meant he was jealous, right?“Hey,” Harou pretended to be concerned, “Is everything alright?” He looked at Egon with a concerned expression while ignoring the water droplets that splashed on us.Egon nodded, “Fine,” He stood up, “I’ll go get the towel.” He began to walk out of the lounge.“Sure,” Harou snickered but did his best to hide it from Egon.Midway to the Kitchen, Egon paused and looked back at us, “How did you know the pin
>>Portia“Yes?” Egon replied looking like he wasn’t fazed by me anymore and that made me somewhat sad. I want him to be more conscious of me, is that bad? Am I being too selfish?Harou and Ulrich were still having a conversation among themselves in the living room and I escaped while they delved deeper into their theories.“I want to ask you something,” I clenched my fists trying to give myself courage. Now that I was here, I want some clarity.“What?” He asked.I gulped and mentally nodded at myself, “Why didn’t you tell me right from the start why you were avoiding me?” In anticipatio
