" I didn't mean to hurt you or anything, but you were throwing things at me and making it difficult for me to tend to your wounds. So I had to force you to stop throwing a fit. Sorry if I made you feel some sort of way" Darren slowly recounted, choosing his words carefully. Darren didn't want her to think he was calling her crazy. It was obvious that he believed the pain from her wounds was what made Kyley react as aggressively as she did earlier. He understood, and he wanted her to know he really did. Silence reigned over in the room for a long while. Kyley didn't respond to Darren's apology, she just lowered her gaze in thought.' He is genuinely apologizing?' Kyley repeated in her mind, over and over again as though she were trying to remind herself that this was real. Kyley had never been apologized to by anyone. Never! And hearing Darren apologize to her made her feel some kind of way. ' Moreso, he actually cares' Kyley could tell from the sincerity in his tone that Darren mea

Kyley looked at Darren for the longest while, confused as to what he meant with his words. The evocative expression on his face made her rather curious as to something." Why?" She asked.Darren switched his gaze to Kyley and raised a brow. " Why do I feel this way?" Darren wasn't sure of what Kyley was asking." Why did you move out here in the middle of the woods?" Kyley rephrased her question. It was something that baffled her ever since, and it shaped her image of Darren being undeserving of trust. After all, who in their right mind lived in the depths of the wood all alone? It just didn't make sense no matter how much she tried to look past it." That's a long story. I'll tell you when it's right time to do so. But... Just know it wasn't by my own decision." Darren said with a bitter smile. How could he blurt out that he'd moved all the way out here because he was cursed? He was trying to win her trust here, not scare her. Kyley would definitely jump out of the wheelchair and fle

Paige who had been hiding by the entrance hall, opened her mouth wide in shock and gasped hearing Ivan's words. ' To think he's really found that bitch!... Talk about being unfortunate' Paige was devastated at the fact that her chance to redeem herself with Jason was gone, just like that." Where are they now?" She heard Jason ask and couldn't help but give up on her thought and focus on listening in on the conversation even more. " The traitor was spotted in Portico city. He is wounded and is now looking to find help and heal. Caleb Last saw him entering some local pub. Yoldes' palm it was called..." Ivan recounted slowly.' To think that fool has gone that far...' Jason creased his gaze and rubbed his chin in thought for a second before asking. " And Kyley?" " ... I found her myself..." Ivan didn't let up the chance to boast of his achievement. After all, it was a rare opportunity that every other pack member had been hoping to grab so as to impress Jason. However, he didn't was

What do you mean?" Alphonse frowned. The old man didn't respond for a while and just shook his head. " The city is a dangerous place for our kind these days, and this shelter is the only hope at survival." " I'm not certain if you've come across one of those human hunters. They are everywhere in the city nowadays, and those dastardly kids who let their feral desires rule them are the reason behind human raising a counter against our kind." The old man sighed. " We can only be grateful to kind Samaritans such as the Luna of the pack, who's quite successful and is a philanthropist towards her race. Seeing her kind being persecuted, she made this safe haven for helpless ones like me and you. It's that simple" " ..." Alphonse was left speechless. He couldn't believe Nicole had done this for no reason other than it being out of kindness and compassion towards the werewolf race. It was quite a pitiful life that werewolves lived. Cursed with feral desires and tendency to shape shif

After several hours of indulging in their sexual desires, Alphonse lay on one of the sofa with a clear expression on his face. Lying asleep atop him without the slightest bit of clothing was Nicole, the satisfied smile on her face spoke volume of her current state. The room was littered with torn clothes and underwears, as well as the smell of sex and liquor. Bottles of wines could be seen all around, their contents poured all over the floor and the last bit trickling down the bottle neck and adding to the pool of wine spilled across the floor. Alphonse stared at the ceiling lost in thought. After the intense session with Nicole, he slowly started to regain his rationality and thought of the whole strange scenario. It was quite surprising that Nicole would give herself to him like that. Even going as far as spiking their drinks with aphrodisiacs. Of course, Alphonse would only realize now that his thoughts became clear. Alphonse could have never thought in his life that such a th
