"Thank you," I broke my lips and turn them into a smile before I slide to the corner. "Is this Ethan Parker?" the voice of a woman immediately resounded in my ears the second someone answered my call. Then I remove the phone from my ear and studied the digits. My brain could barely remember anyone in my logs who owned the digits. Even though I already found a new pack, I did not get the chance to remove or delete all the unnecessary contact persons saved in my phone. Mark and Lilith's digits can still be found in my contact list either. But getting a call from an unknown digit reminded me to do that, for God's sake. For my werewolf's sake, so I can finally move on. "Yes, this is Ethan Parker speaking. May I know who is on the other line of the phone, please?" "Thank goodness," she said. "I've been reaching out to you like a hundred times but your phone kept on connecting me to your mailbox. This is the owner of the apartment you are currently living in with your brother." "Yeah
My wolf did not get the chance to move on from Lilith's and Penelope's unexpected battle yet. However, it seems that their alpha, Ezekiel, was very serious about the deal he and our alpha sealed. For that same reason, he immediately sent Lilith, Mark, and some of her werewolf guardians to extend help. To be our eyes and ears for us on or before the annual game. Then I remembered Alpha Romulo once asked me if Ezekiel was interested in Penelope's wolf. Could that be the reason he sent his wolves to keep an eye on us? If I were him, my wolf could have ordered me to silently get their revenge after embarrassing their werewolf guardians right in front of their pack members. Let alone, I manage to seal a deal with their alpha as my wolf leaves him with no choice. While holding onto that thought, I continued scanning the four sides of the bench, searching for the rest of the werewolf hunters aside from what Lilith told me. "Do you want something to eat, Ethan?" ask
"Can you guys shut your mouth for a sec?" Lilith got irritated. Perhaps it has something to do with the tiny creature growing inside her womb. "We are already at the canteen. Better find Penelope and the rest of her friends as soon as possible." As soon as the door of the elevator opens, Mark and Lilith immediately hop out while my werewolf senses are tailing off Penelope's scent. Compared to the canteen on the second building, the one we are in was thrice bigger the size. "Find them." Mark proposed. "We'll find these werewolf hunters before we could call for backup." "Backup?" I clarified and debated. "They must not see me here, Mark. And you know that." "Whatever, Ethan." Mark said back. "You cannot blame us for that. We are simply doing our job as two of the security guards. And you know that of all people." Of course, I almost forgot. These two stabbed me behind my back. I already ended up everything my wolf has on them; best friend and mate. So there will
"Just act normal, okay? Take a deep breath. Let go of those thoughts regarding those dead bodies." I encouraged Penelope while holding her hand in heading to the game. "What if they will find who killed those hunters then?" Penelope could not hold onto her worries and fears, so she said it. "We are not part of Ezekiel's pack, remember? If this issue goes to the public, he has all the right to drag our names to it." "So, what do you suggest us to do then, huh?" I debated before I let go of her hand. "Threaten him because he built a school intended for the wolves? No, we can't do that." "I am not saying we have to threaten him, you moron." she insisted. "what I mean is that we should have a plan if things go the other way around. My wolf still doesn't trust Mark and Lilith. What if they will use the CCTV footage to corner us?" My wolf could not blame Penelope to think that way. She and Lilith still have an unresolved issue. Why didn't I consider that before I order
Aiden had always been the jealous type, and seeing his first love with someone else made him incredibly uncomfortable. The fact that it was his own brother only intensified his feelings of jealousy and insecurity. He couldn't help but wonder if Penelope was indeed interested in me and if she was cheating on him. Aiden's heart sank even if he was simply assuming things. He couldn't believe that his first love and brother were wearing couple clothes, something that he might have always reserved for him and Penelope. His mind, I believed, was filled with negative thoughts as he tried to process what was happening. He might not want to jump to conclusions, but he couldn't help feeling jealous and angry. He began to wonder what Penelope and I had been doing together these days and why they were wearing matching clothes. "You want to know the truth?" I glanced at Penelope's eyes for three seconds, seeking her permission to make things clear. She nodded. Aiden also n
The next morning, I did not wait for Aiden to wake up. It has been the toughest week for him because of me. He badly needs not just a week of sleep, but a year or so. So I took the opportunity to pack all my things and left the room afterward. Even though I hate the thought of being away from the only wolf whom I cared about, he and Penelope have left me with no choice. In order to protect my relationship with my brother, I have to swallow my pride for his sake. "Ethan?" a familiar voice coming from behind me suddenly breathed out my name the second I step foot out of the apartment. "What are you doing here, Lilith?" I cautiously asked her, ignoring the fact that she was with Mark and Malia. "We are not here to cause you trouble, Ethan," Mark said back. "Lilith and I are simply assisting Malia. She had something to say." he then nodded to Malia. "I am here to claim my fated mate, Brother Ethan," says Malia. And she is referring to no one but Aiden. The three of them then glance
Penelope's stunning red gown left everyone in awe as she walked into the restaurant. The bold, vibrant red color immediately caught everyone's attention, and the intricate beading woven into the fabric added a touch of elegance that was hard to miss. The gown hugged her curves in all the right places, accentuating her hourglass figure. The high neckline and long sleeves gave the dress a sense of modesty while adding a touch of sophistication to the whole look. As she glided across the mouth of the restaurant, the hem of her dress gracefully trailed behind her, twirling and swirling with every step she took. The back of the gown boasted a daringly low-cut design, revealing just enough skin to add a sense of mystique to the ensemble. The overall effect of the dress was breathtaking. It was simultaneously bold and powerful, yet elegant and chic. As Penelope made her way through the crowd, she seemed to command the attention of everyone in the room. All in all, Penelop
The doctor immediately helped me put Penelope's body on the stretcher and applied his knowledge of first aid. He studied her eyes and checked her stained gown and found the profound wound in her left chest. "Silver bullet," he uttered while tearing the part of her chest that got wounded, did not care even in front of her is a gorgeous well-dressed woman. "Yes," I agreed, "we were attacked by werewolf hunters and another pack of wolves in the restaurant. It was then she got shot." telling the doctor is the best thing I must do to make sure he knows about what to do to Penelope. Then he ordered me to call the mansion's nurses and forbids me to get in. My wolf could not help but pace nervously outside the operating room, waiting for news about Penelope's condition. While waiting for the result, my hands were terribly shaking while reaching out for Aiden's digits. Even if we are not in a good relationship at the moment, let alone about agreeing to mate with Malia, he stil
