When Katie got home, she dragged her tired body through the front screen door, she kept her trench coat on the hanger, her eyes wandered around the room and landed on the table before she looked towards the settee and discovered that Pascal was still sitting where he was.
Her eyes widened in shock "you, didn't you eat?"
she rushed towards the dining table and checked the microwaved food she have prepared for him, but to her surprise, she saw that the food was left untouched.
She furrowed her eyebrows, and stood arms akimbo at Pascal's front, with her head slightly raised like a peacock, Pascal chuckled.
"Hey, why are you laughing? you haven't eaten, ain't you hungry? and what is your name?"
Pascal looked into her eyes speechlessly, he didn't know how to respond, he doesn't even know what she was talking about.
Katie started demonstrating with her hands, but when no response came from Pascal, she gave up "he is probably deaf and dumb, or mentally unstable, what a pity" she mumbled while yawning, she strode towards the kitchen.
Pascal squinted his eyes, while watching Katie from the kitchen, some minutes later, she came out of the kitchen and signalled him over, but Pascal didn't move.
Katie started digging, after she was done eating, she rushed into her room and lay on her bed.
the next morning, Katie emerged from inside her room, stretching her arms, she rubbed her eyes "hey!"
she greeted Pascal, who sat in the same position she left him yesterday, "are you alright? did you miss your family? you don't have to feel distressed, I will call the cops, they will surely inform the general public that you are missing" Katie said.
When no response came, she gave up on the thought of communicating with Pascal and went over to the telephone.
"Hello, Doctor Syd on the line, who am I unto?" a voice came from the telephone's speaker.
"is Katie Clyde, Doctor Syd, you remember me?" Katie responded.
"of course, silly kid, I will never forget you, why did you call? I hope you are fine"
"yes, I am fine..." her response made Doctor Syd puzzled "then, why did you call?"
"I mean, I am fine, but, Doctor Syd, can you come over, I have a friend here, who needed a doctor's attention, I hope I ain't disrupting your plans for the day"
Doctor Syd's voice came from the telephone speaker once again "no matter what Katie Clyde, I will always attend to you, whenever you call me, and anytime you call me, I will always rush over, Katie"
Doctor Syd's words made Katie's eyes watery "thank you, so much"
"Are you crying, Katie?"
Katie shook her head "no, no, no, I am not crying"
Pascal's face darkened while watching tears falling from Katie's eyes "mate!" his wolf howled in his head, and his eyes became fiery red.
Pascal clenched his fists, "mate" his wolf howled once again in his head, Katie hung up the call, and turned around to see Pascal, who quickly looked away.
"um..." she was startled, wondering if Pascal is mentally handicapped, her phone started ringing in her room, and she went to get it.
"Alright, I will be there, I won't be coming to the campus today"
She ended the call, went into the kitchen, and prepared breakfast for the both of them.
"Hey, you haven't eaten anything for some days now, why don't you come and join me" Katie proposed, she was startled when Pascal stood on his feet, she missed a step, and tumbled backwards.
Pascal moved swiftly and caught her, her arms curled around his neck, while Pascal held onto her waist, the both of them were locked in eye contact.
It felt like the universe froze, and time became static, "mate!" Pascal's wolf howled in his head.
A knock disrupted the moment, Pascal helped her up to her feet, and Katie scurried away immediately and rushed towards the door.
The moment she opened the door, "Doctor Syd, you are here, come on in"
Katie welcomed a tall man with spectacles, holding a box, he wore a white coat, and his face cracked into a smile.
Pascal narrowed his eyes, and his aura changed immediately, "I wasn't expecting you to be here early, I was expecting you some minutes later, I haven't prepared anything, pardon me, let me go and get you a cup of coffee" Katie said nervously.
She was afraid that Doctor Syd will also join the others, they disappeared immediately after her father's death, or joined her uncle, making things difficult for her.
Doctor Syd smiled warmly "Mate!" Pascal's wolf reared in his head, making him feel uncomfortable "Katie, is anything the problem? why do you need a psychologist? are you facing a lot of pressure recently, you can quit your job and be my attendant..."
Katie Clyde shook her head "I can't do that Doctor Syd, I don't like taking advantage of people, I called you because of someone else"
Doctor Syd's gaze darted around the room "who?" he mumbled wondering, his eyes narrowed the moment he saw Pascal.
Katie turned around nervously "Pascal, meet Doctor Syd, he has been the one taking care of me, since I lost my parents"
The two of them look at each other with hostility, "come with me, Katie Clyde" Doctor Syd declared, and walked away, the both of them entered her room.
"Doctor Syd, you called me here, is anything the matter?"
Doctor Syd peered towards the closed door "who is he? did you bring a stranger home, I have never seen him in your family mansion?"
Katie looked embarrassed, she explained awkwardly "aham, he is a friend who came to NY some days ago, and he has no place to stay, so I helped him"
Doctor Syd wasn't buying the bullshit explanation, he folded his arms and gave Katie a stern askance look "and why is your friend not wearing anything underneath?"
Katie's face heated, she has forgotten that Pascal was just putting on only the bathrobe she threw at him, unknown to them, Pascal was listening to their discussion.
Katie emerged with Dr Syd by her side from the room, Pascal looked at Dr Syd and squinted his eyes."Hello, this is my friend Dr Syd, he is a doctor, I called him over to look at you," Katie told Pascal, who just looked at the two without moving his muscles.Dr Syd narrowed his eyes at Pascal "hello, what is your name?"Pascal responded in saxon, and both of them were astounded, Katie glanced at Dr Syd "what is he saying? I don't understand" she said."Katie, I would like to see you for a minute"Dr Syd took Katie Clyde into her room once again "Katie, can you tell me what is going on? and it should be the truth, no lies"Katie Clyde looked at Dr Syd and crossed her heart "no lies, I saw him on the road naked and took pity on him, that is why I brought him home"Dr Syd gasped and gaped at Katie Clyde "you are something else, Katie, what if he is a criminal? what if he wants to harm you, how can you do such a thing?"Katie Clyde nodded in understanding "it is just an assumption, can yo
"Talking of the devil" Katie Clyde mumbled and hurried over."Mrs Scott" she greeted smiling widely.The woman looked at Katie Clyde sternly "you are supposed to be among those planning the transportation of students, why are you late Katie Clyde?" she asked."Ah, that, I wasn't told" Katie Clyde replied.Mrs Scott made sure she scolded Katie Clyde before letting her go, she exhaled a breath "what a horrible morning" she muttered.The moment she ran into Catherine "can my day be any worse!?" she lamented."Katie Clyde, hope you got the gift I gave you, Senior Rose is looking for you, girl, you are in a deep shit" Catherine warned her smilingly.Katie Clyde's eyes widened in realisation "thank you so much, Catherine, catch you later" Katie Clyde said, she turned around and fled."what is wrong with her?" Catherine's lackey at her right hand asked, "she is crazy" Catherine replied, and looked towards the direction that Katie Clyde fled to.When Katie Clyde arrived at the planning commit
Katie Clyde was absent-minded when the new owner ascend the podium, Edna one of her co-workers nudged her."He is so handsome, Katie," she said and blushed faintly.Katie Clyde blinked her eyes in confusion, and looked at her "what did you say?"She rolled her eyes "forget it, Katie Clyde"The owner stood on the podium and started speaking "my name is Jack Rich, I am impressed with the way the dispatching company has been organised, I am not going to change any policies, except the ones making my workers go home sad and crying""Katie, he is looking at us, he is looking at me" she started assuming because Jack Rich's gaze was directed towards where they are sitting.Katie Clyde rolled her eyes, "thank you all, for your hard work" Jack Rich ended his speech, and left the podium, the manager followed him out of the conference room.Katie Clyde followed the other staff out of the conference room, "um... I would have called Pascal, but he doesn't even have a phone, poor boy""Poor boy?" t
Pascal stretched his hand and grabbed the burly man's neck and broke it, he turned around swiftly and looked down, and saw the man escaping with Katie Clyde's bike."Hey, stop, I am going to call the cops" Katie Clyde cried out, running after him on foot."Hahaha, call the cops? they won't dare come over here" he mocked and diverted into a more dangerous street.His eyes caught a glimpse of a man standing ahead, in the middle of the street."fuck!" he swore, and stepped on the brake, the tyres screeched and halted right before Pascal."Fuck you, man! what the hell are you doing in the middle of the street, I would have knocked y..."Pascal didn't even bother listening to the nonsense he was saying, he stretched his hand and caught his collar, pulled him up directly, and flung him over his head."woohoo!" the street urchin screamed "ouch!" he wailed the moment he landed roughly on the tarred road."Hey, I will call the police, return my bike" Katie Clyde's voice filtered into Pascal's
"Take care of Katie, when it's time, we will settle with the vampires once and for all," he said and teleported back to the house.Jack Rich looked on and sighed emotionally, he wasn't expecting him to be still alive."Pascal!" Katie Clyde called out, she has been looking for him for the past ten minutes.The screen door in the backyard opened, and Pascal walked inside the house "hey, where have you been? I have been looking for you"Pascal replied "I was in the backyard"Katie Clyde furrowed her eyebrows wondering what he was doing in the backyard, she didn't bother asking.She went inside the house and changed her outfit, "um... we will be going over to Granny Fray's home, sorry didn't tell you this earlier" Katie Clyde said nervously."It is fine if you don't want to come, I will go...""I will come with you," Pascal said and stood on his feet surprising Katie Clyde, "are you serious?" she reiterated.Pascal nodded, everything was still new and awkward to him."Okay," Katie Clyde r
Pascal looked at them in confusion, in his time, women were not allowed to behave freely."Time has changed" he muttered under his breath."Katie, where the hell are you planning to go with your boyfriend?" Chloe asked with interest.Katie Clyde rolled her eyes "you ain't coming, Chloe, we are going out for a date"Chloe was momentarily surprised "I am happy for you girl""see you," Katie Clyde said and grabbed Pascal's arm, she pulled him towards her trunk, "before I forget" Chloe ran over and whispered to Katie Clyde before returning to her car.Pascal's lips curved upward, amused by what Chloe has done, he could even hear their heartbeats."What is the balloon?" Pascal asked tentatively, wondering why Chloe will mention that secretly.Katie Clyde looked at him wide eyes, wondering if she heard wrongly "what did you say?" she reposted."Nothing"Chloe started driving away "see you girl, kisses" she blew a kiss before driving off."We should leave, already" Katie Clyde reminded Pasca
"You still remember my scent even after so many years" a man strode in, he has a resemblance to someone in his sixties.Pascal didn't respond, he looked around the room curiously and silently looked at the police uniform he wore."what are you putting on?" he inquired tentatively.Jon Jon sat before him "this, I am now a police officer, Alpha, we waited for you, for so many years, we thought you will never come out of it alive, what happened?"Pascal furrowed his eyebrows, he could only remember flashes of memory "I don't remember" he mumbled.Jon Jon understood immediately that he has suffered memory loss, "you can't interrogate him without a lawyer, my lawyer is here, let me see him" Katie Clyde's voice entered Pascal's ears.Jon Jon also heard what she said, "I think your benefactor is worried about you, I will come to find you, Alpha," he said, and stood on his feet.Pascal watched silently when he was about to leave the interrogation room, he asked "what time is it?"Jon Jon paus
Even when they drove to a nearby eatery after settling with Kelvin and the officers of the Environmental department, Katie Clyde was still in a daze."Are you alright? you seem absent-minded" Pascal inquired.Katie Clyde turned to him and asked the question bottled deep in her heart "who are you?"Pascal was puzzled by the question "we are here"Katie Clyde stepped on the brake pedal, and the car came to a halt, the two of them alighted.Two twin towers caught Pascal's attention, he stared at them curiously, "you like them?" Katie Clyde inquired, she was standing right next to him.Pascal didn't reply, he smelt a familiar scent and a peculiar voice from one of the twin towers "don't stand there staring all day, I am famished, let's go in, and have lunch" Katie Clyde to him."Alright" Pascal agreed, and the both of them entered the eatery together, chatting moderately.The two of them settled down, and picked up the menu, after making an order, they waited for it.They barely have eate
