On our whole drive to school, Gonzalo kept on asking me if I was hiding something from them. I kept on saying no. I was clueless about what was going on as they were."You better be not hiding something from us." His voice sounded like a threat after he stopped the car in the school parking lot.I gasped. "What am I gonna hide anyway? My life was ordinary until you guys came." I rolled my eyes unbuckling my seatbelt."Okay then." He shrugged. "Enjoy your school, little kid." He tapped my head like I was a dog.I glared at him. "I'm not a little kid.""Yes, you are. We're centuries older than you." He chuckled.I just mocked him before getting out of the car. While I was walking in the hallway towards my first class, Nazarus bumped his shoulder onto mine before he wrapped his arm around my shoulders."What's up?" He smiled.I was still thinking about the car that froze a while ago but I just shrugged. "Nothing much.""Got a new driver?" he asked.I looked back at the parking lot where
I was so conscious while eating pasta as I could feel Gonzalo and Fenris watching me like I was some kind of television. I looked at Fenris and he avoided my gaze, pretending he wasn't staring. I rolled my eyes before looking at Gonzalo who raised his right brow at me with a smirk on his lips.I looked back at my finally emptied plate. I sipped on my wine, wondering about the Shadow Ripper and all the weird, creepy stuff I heard while gossiping a while ago."Who cooked the pasta? You?" I asked Gonzalo to ease the loud silence."Yeah. It's good, isn't it?" "Don't take the credits from me." Fenris rolled his eyes. "I cooked that."Gonzalo playfully chuckled. "I'm trying to impress her. Why ruin it?" "She's my fiancé. You shouldn't impress what's mine." Fenris glanced at me.My face heated. I looked down, hiding my burning cheeks. For sure, they were blushing red as I could feel my face almost like exploding.Gonzalo laughed teasingly. "Oh, she's blushing. Congrats, you impressed her."
I thought we were already right outside his territory but when we got out of the plane, I realized we were in the airport; tons of people with thick jackets were walking around, holding their own luggage.I looked at Fenris. "Are they all werewolves?" He shook his head. "We usually blend in with humans." He tapped my head like a dog. "Come on, our helicopter is over there." My lips parted. I thought we were just gonna ride in a van or car on the way to his den. It was slowly sinking into me how rich and big-time my soon-to-be husband is, for real. It made my nerves more nervous as most rich families hate to have a deep connection with average families like mine.I hugged my shoulder as we walked toward the helicopter. The coldness could freeze me with the gloomy surrounding and some formed ice around the corners. I had a love and hate relationship with the winter seasons.My nervousness somehow ease when I saw the helicopter. It wasn't every time that I could have a chance to hop in
My lips were parted throughout as Fenris toured me around their mansion. I couldn't stop looking up at the high ceiling and around the corners with every huge room door.He explained to me some important rooms that I shouldn't dare to open and some rooms that were owned specifically by his family.A sigh of relief escaped from my mouth as he mentioned his mother wasn't around. As much as I wanted to be ready, I couldn't stop myself from getting intimidated by all the shiny things I was witnessing. I was anxious, afraid to be belittled by his mom. I was hoping that wouldn't be the case."This is amazing." My eyes glittered at Fenris as we continued roaming around. "I mean, this is much bigger than your mansion in California."Fenris just smiled at me. He looked patient now compared to his face way back in my country."There are so many rooms." I touched the silky door that we passed by. "Your family members must be so many."He shrugged. "It's not only my family members that live here.
Fenris intertwined his hand with mine, making my chest calm a little while the old man was examining me from head to toe."Perhaps, the woman standing in front of me is your fiancé." The old man smiled."Slender, I want you to meet Kira, and yes, she's my fiancé." He tightened his grip on my hand as he glanced at me.I managed to smile despite my trembling lips. "Hi, Slender. It's a pleasure to meet you." We shook hands while smiling at each other until his brows slightly crossed at me.My lips thinned, looking at our hands that stopped shaking.I looked at Fenris with my confused face. Why is Slender looking at my hand like there was a problem with it?"What's the matter, Slender?" Fenris asked.Slender finally let go of my hand. "Nothing."They looked at each other as if they were talking through their eyes and I was just standing beside Fenris, clueless about what they were thinking. "You turned her into a werewolf without waiting for your wedding day." My brows crossed. I though
I covered my boobs with my arms while I was already right in front of him, soaking in the middle of the pool. I still wasn't comfortable with him seeing my whole naked body. The side of his lips rose when he looked at my arms on my boob part. He shook his head, smirking."What's funny?" My brows crossed."What do you mean funny? Am I laughing?" He raised his right brow."You're smirking," I pointed out.He shrugged and didn't utter a word. He just stared at me. Luckily, my thigh part was under the deep water so he wouldn't be able to see it. My boobs were just my problem; I didn't want him to judge them. "Can you at least give me a heads-up?" I puffed a breath, escaping the awkward silence. "How many rituals are we gonna do before the wedding?" "I don't wanna spoil you." He shrugged. I splashed water on his face. "You should! I deserve to know if my life is gonna be at risk on whatever your werewolf rituals are or whatsoever.""You're safe, Kira." He tapped my head like a dog. "Un
I just rolled my eyes at his sarcastic face. I continued walking even though I didn't know where we would go.He then started walking again too, finally doing slow steps so my legs could cope. He tapped my head like a dog. I pushed his hands away as I frowned at him. Always a sarcastic, annoying werewolf! "We're in a small town if it isn't that obvious." Fenris wrapped his arm around my shoulders. I tried to remove it but he made his arm heavy on my body. I glared at him. "Why are you so moody huh?""Excuse me," he said with exaggeration.I rolled my eyes. "Whatever.""You're the moody one." He chuckled."Yeah, reverse it all you want." I crossed my arms on my chest while his arm was still resting on my shoulders. Our body was so closely tight and the friction of our waist together was electrifying my nerves.I was already annoyed but my temper was getting higher because of the thick snow that my boots and feet could barely walk into.I almost fell to the ground. Luckily, he held my
When we arrived back at their mansion, we went straight to our room. A sigh of relief escaped my mouth when I didn't bump into any of his family. I still wasn't ready to meet them all. The pressure was getting too high that it was sharpening the stones on my chest. Rollina, his fling or whatsoever insulted me. I was afraid his family would do the same.I was laying on our huge bed, staring at the white ceiling like it was a nowhere but white hole. Fenris left me alone and I couldn't be more anxious. The room was too big for me and it just felt like the quiet surrounding was succumbing to me.He told me to sleep as I need it before our fire ritual but my mind was too awake, overthinking scenarios of how could I possibly die in this adventure I got myself in. I never expected I would meet vampires, werewolves, and sorcerers in my whole existence. What more could I possibly witness in the mysterious world I was in? "Hey, Kira, did you sleep well?" Fenris asked when he finally came back
