Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 33: Sleeves
"Since it seems like you don't like to find your father anymore," Lea started, Azi offered me to sit on the curved maroon sofa I never saw before, the living room has a carpet and a complete set of sitting area with a wooden centerpiece and a chandelier, the kitchen overlooking the sofa has a marbled cupboard, a mini fridge, and pots, and pans, I'm in awe especially when Lukas opened the faucet and water come out, I almost clapped my hands. I know I should've noticed it the moment Lea pulled me here, the hanging string of pearls that covered most of the roof was gone, the algae too, and the weeds on the side, it's like magic, I knew I should expected something."We respected it," Lea added. My eyes were still feasting the cons lighting in every corner of the house and the pinwheel decoration and puzzle piece when I heard something getting pushed to the floor."But as Azi and I were looking for a pot, we stumbled in the attic and found... these." I looked at Lea and then at Azi, who
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 34: Permission Granted
She was the only one he wanted. The only one he needed. But he couldn't have her. Not because she didn't want him, but because he was afraid. Afraid of what he was. Afraid of what he could do. So he watched her from afar, content to simply admire her. "That's so poetic," I muttered and glanced at the creases on the door made by Neneuis. She was on the other side, peeking and watching my every move. "That's a great book," Tyler said, I beamed at him and closed the book I was holding. We're in the library, and after minutes of persuading everyone to give us a minute, Neneuis was on my side so it became more bearable, though the trepidation was palpable, I wonder if he could see right through me right now? I made sure to imagine constant barbed wires so that he couldn't read my thoughts. I'm still debted by his kindness, and I don't know how to repay it to him. He let me stay here, accompany me to school, and take any dispute that surrounds me away. I don't know if my life could su
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 35: Michael’s Family
The brisk wind and the blowing strong winds from time to time made me realize that I was in the center of the town. There’s a place in town that’s near the mall, behind the funeral parlor, and in front of a bookshop, it was an abandoned building that has thirteen floors and was standing since the 18th century. It was an old abandoned building that’s said to be the home of a serial killer who made a killing spree on Mercia Lane. “Why here?” Neneuis frowned. They were walking in twos, Tyler was with Blake then Neneuis and Lukas, and Azi and Lea while I was in the front. If there’s one person here who grew up in this town and knows the tales surrounding the sacred town, that would be me. They were all wearing long coats in dark colors while I was the only one in white. I don’t have long coats like them. I only have a white pea coat.I turned to Neneuis and put my hands in my pocket when a gust of wind drew some hair on my face. “Because no one caught the killer, no one who he was.” I
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 36: Werewolves' Mate
"I don't like that man!" Neneuis shouted the moment we entered the building. "That man was crazy." It was the first time I heard Lea's awestruck voice. They got caught off guard by what he said. We were in the receiving area where ceramic tiles on the center formed a circle and there was an uneven long shape sofa around it, Neneuis sat on it and muttered, "This is the reason why I swore I don't need a man in my life." I remember how Michael doesn't talk much about his family, but this town was small enough for words to travel like wildfire. I heard that Mr. and Mrs. Summers were just arranged by their parents to be married. They say Mr. Summers' father has a debt to Mrs. Summers' mother and they settled it with an agreement that their child would be married to each other. Before the bookshop was really thriving, people came day and night to read and buy books, but today, only a couple of people entered the bookshop, they're all passers-by. What's more disheartening was those han
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 37: The Thing You Shouldn't See
“Someone’s phone is vibrating.” I held my breath and my gaze traveled to the man's pocket beside me where a flashing phone screen lit up and non-stop vibrating was heard. Tyler didn’t move but I could hear his sudden heavy breathing, a chair movement, and a girl coming down carefully made my adrenaline rush, I quickly peek in front, and the fear to push Tyler aside and fish his phone from his pocket consumed me like a fire. I would never do that! That's beyond my imagination!But alas, Lukas was already coming to us and he caught us from the cabinet with my arm pushing Tyler to the side and my other one in his pocket while he resisted and was trying to bite my arm. “You saw us?” It was the question that would haunt me and probably would give me nightmares for days. I closed my eyes and swallowed hard, collecting myself and looking down. “We’re sorry.” “What?” Neneuis breathed, she wore her bottoms and her top was covering her voluptuous front. “We’re sorry,” I repeated, but my
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 38: My Father
It didn't take a while for Aether to notice my silent scream. "You're Artha's daughter? Wow. How big you've become.""I'm seventeen now." I took pride in myself for growing this way and finally witnessed how my life has unfolded. So this was my life, huh? "Wow," Aether took a sloppy walk and held my cheeks in his hand, "last time I saw you I was holding you up in the air!" He smiled and I gave a sweet giggle.This was it, finally, the time has come. I met my biological father. I touched my father's hand with nervousness and I feel the sudden jolt that could only be felt when it's family. Azi and Lea were smiling on my side, and though still filled with awkwardness, Neneuis and Lukas' eyes were smiling. "I'm glad you grew up so well and find Neneuis and Tyler," Aether said, now on my side in the kitchen sipping a chamomile tea. I smiled at him because I still couldn't digest what was happening and words ran out of my mind. I'm supposed to be talkative, tell stories, and hug him,
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 39: Awkward Silence
I stared blankly at the night sky and realized there were no twinkling stars after a minute. The sky's empty and sad. I sighed and tried to step onto Tyler’s balcony, I was upset, adrift, and crushed all at once. I thought I’m claiming happiness for a second, I forgot happiness was not for me. “Your mother, Artha, and I only stayed together for a while. Back then, you were already born and I help your mother raise you for a few months until it was bearable for her to raise you alone.” Each word that Aether says felt like a stab wound to my chest, my eyes welled up and I’m sure I was going to cry in front of him. Mom already had me? Then who’s my father?“I didn’t ask for your mother’s back story but she told me your father died before she even know she was pregnant, so she ran away to the forest and build a house here to avoid people’s judging eyes.” I hummed my nervousness and settled by looking down at my lap, my hair’s blocking my face so it was easy for me to let the tears out
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 40: Bloody Hurtful
Everyone around me was having fun. It should've been fun, there’s colorful lights, gifts, and winter cold night. But I stood silent until they all agreed to go to bed. Finally. "Is something wrong?" I put down the magazine I'm pretending I was reading and face Tyler. His face was in it's natural color now, he doesn't look too pale or red like a tomato from being drunk. I shook my head no. "I'm just reading." I flipped through the pages of a fashion magazine I bet Tiffany bought for reference. "Then why didn't you join Neneuis and others having fun and getting wasted." Tyler sat in front of me with his leg crossed and his elbows on the arm rest while his other arm was holding a teacup and the other was holding a black crocheted coaster I bet Tiffany made. She has so many marks in this house, it should be called Tyler and Blake's mansion from the start and not just the legendary wolf's. I was about to turn to another page but my finger stopped flipping when I saw a familiar fa
