"I am as fit as a mallee bull, so there is really no need for you to return Lia. Shirley replied, "That would be a waste of a nice dress and good perfume." Shirley replied.
"Alright then, if you are sure you are fine, I will head back to the bar." Don't forget to call me if you need anything. I will be there immediately, "Amelia said.
"I'm not a baby Lia, I can take care of myself. "Begone now, I have a novel to start," Shirley replied. "Wait... you said something about not returning today. What's the occasion?" Shirley continued.
"I met Dominic in the bar and I..." Amelia was saying She was interrupted by Shirley.
"You met Dominic
As soon as Shirley ended the call, Amelia dialed Nick number. "Hi, still at the bar?" She asked."Yeah, why?" Dominic asked unsurely."I'm on my way back there," Amelia said, revving the engine of her car."I thought you had something urgent to settle at home?" Dominic asked."I didn't have to go home anymore, it has already been settled. I will be there in five minutes," Amelia said."Okay," Dominic replied then he ended the call.Once again, Amelia found herself standing outside Nick's club. Shakily, she nodded and opened the door to go in. She wringled her hands together as the cool air washed over her. She squinted her eyes looking for Dominic, she didn't have to search for long because she saw him descend the stairs."Hi," Amelia said waving at him awkwardly."Hi yourself.. again," Dominic replied.Amelia cleared her throat before saying, "do you mind skipping work for a day? I think I have a lot of explanation to d

"I am asking because that is the basis of this conversation...it has a lot to do with us...me in particular," Amelia replied.Dominic was tempted to ask her to explain further, but he bit his tongue because he earlier promised not to say anything until he is asked."I asked if you believe in wolves because... because... you are staring at one right now....I am a wolf Nick, a full fleshed werewolf" Amelia said. "Why are you staring at me that way? Don't you have anything to say to me? Maybe a question or whatever? Just say something," Amelia said some minutes later."I am trying to find out if you are joking or not... you're joking right? That was a very intense joke," Dominic said giving out a faux laugh."Why would I joke in a moment like this? Do you want me to shift here on the bed so that you would know how serious I am? I can shift if you want me to, though I haven't shifted in the past two months, I don't feel comfortable doing that an
"You are not a horrible person Shirl, you are the most wonderful person I know and there is no need for you to be hard on yourself. If anyone is to be blamed for what happened, it would be Fredrick for betraying his pack and the Moon goddess for allowing such to happen right under her watch.Shirley sobbed quietly as the dream flashed through her mind, some minutes later, she was eventually lured back to sleep by her wolf who continued speaking comforting words to her. When she woke up the next morning, she felt something sticky on her cheeks and when she looked in the mirror, she noticed that her cheeks were stained with dried tears . She wondered why because she didn't remember crying before falling asleep, last she remembered was reading a book and now that she woke up, she had tearstain on her cheeks.'Don't you remember waking up early this morning and crying out for Zane?' her wolf asked her.'I woke up earlier this morning? And I cried? I find that hard t
FIFTEEN YEARS LATERVery early in the morning, Hunter sat on the floor of his room, his back against the door and his knees up against his chest. He was staring at the ceiling with almost vacant eyes, he sniffed, wiping away the tears that had streamed down his cheeks as all the events that happened in his dream whirled viciously inside his head. He couldn't understand why he kept on dreaming about the same person all the time. He started having these dreamlike visions ever since he turned ten and now, five years later, it continued, nothing changed. The way he remembered it happening five years ago was the same way it kept on happening. The man in his dreams looks so familiar yet strange at the same time. In his dreams,
"Him? As in the man in my dream? " Hunter asked in confusion."Yes, him... as in your father," Shirley replied.My father? I thought you said my father died shortly before my birth, "Hunter said in confusion."Shirley glanced at the watch on her wrist, finding out that it was close to six in the morning. The sun was coming up in the autumn skies, becoming brighter as the day went on. Anyone looking at them right now would say that they appear homey and cosy, but she felt so tired, lonely and all alone. She was already dreading the talk they would have this afternoon as soon as Amelia arrived, and she was tempted to tell him to forget about it once again, but she couldn't do that to him. She knows that i
"My other favorite days? Hmmm, let me think about that...the day you were born; the exact moment I carried you in my arms for the first time, the day you said, mama, the first time you called me aunt, the day your first tooth came out, the day you walked for the first time, your birthdays...do you need more?" Amelia replied with a smile."Why is it all about me? Are you just telling me what you think I want to hear?" Hunter asked narrowing his eyes at her."Of course it should be all about you! You are my precious little baby after all. I don't like it that you are growing, I would prefer if you remained little for a longer while," Amelia replied."I would prefer that too, I can't believe that a baby of yesterday is now taller than I am," Shirley added."You both should stop calling me that. Like aunt Amelia rightly said, I am growing so I am no longer a baby," Hunter replied."Until you defeat me in a duel, I will continue calling yo
"I don't know all about it yet but I think Hunter have some kind of power or something. I didn't want to mention this before until I find out more, but since we are at the topic, I will tell you the little I know," Shirley said."I don't understand the kind of power you mean, is it magical power or something?" Amelia asked in confusion."I can't answer that for now, but I wouldn't doubt it if he has a little magical powers in him," Shirley replied."Magical powers? I find that hard to believe, How is that possible?" Amelia said."You remember when we first saw Hunter in a half-wolf state when he was three? And we concluded that it was a onetime thing? It's not, he has the ability to shift that way anytime he likes he just haven't been doing it because of how shocked we looked that day. I think there is more to him than he is showing us, that is why I really need to find out more about h
