>>Portia
My heart pounded at his words.
No!!
I shook my head and screamed at myself mentally!
Absolutely not! I rejected the feeling. We’re not going there…
My wolf whined at me.
No…
I gulped.
We can’t…
She whined again and this time it was different from all the other times. I wasn’t the only one who had been hurt by the previous two, she had been too, so she didn’t pressure me with anything yet the feeling of loneliness and longing was still shared by
>>PortiaI tensed up again, my body stiffened and I contemplated what to say to him.If he knows about us and my kind, then there’s no point in lying about it or hiding it. But, before that, I want to confirm a few things.“Um, what makes you think that we’re mates?” I’m curious how he came to that conclusion. As a human, he can’t smell us to tell us apart and I don’t have any features that would set me apart from other humans.He clicked his tongue in disappointment, “Are we not?” He folded his arms and brought his hand under his chin, “I’m sure I felt that zap,” He tilted his head to one side.
>>Portia“Why are you upset?” Jena was getting ready to leave for somewhere while I stood in the hallway near the door since I too had to leave for the NDRA visit.“I’m not,” I replied softly and then sighed internally. I’m just dreading that I have to meet Harou again and seeing him is gonna break my heart since I can’t have him.“It’s written on your face.” She put on her coat and grabbed her bag, “Did Harou say something to upset you?”“Oh no,” I shook my head, “He’s super nice,”She paused, then slowly turned to look at me, “Super nice?” She raised her eyebrows at me, “I have no idea who you met.&r
>>Egon“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?…
