The two of them, I assumed, were aware of what time Ghino and Lilith went out of the house in the morning. So, perhaps they talked something about me before Nathan and Lilith went to school. But from the way they looked me in the eye, not to mention those long curve lines that were obviously written on their foreheads, my werewolf instinct was already telling me that Ghino did not leave them anything. The last thing I remember, my entire body was completely feeling exhausted last night which resulted in me not noticing Ghino moved out of the bed this morning. "Oh. Yeah, I remember now." Connor smiled at me and pointed the tip of his index finger to the ceiling. "Ghino told me that he and his human friend will be the ones to pick you up for your gig this evening. Aside from that, Lady Lilith also said she will keep an eye on Big Boss once he will realize you were not part of his class." "Was your gig every night part of the plan, if I may ask, Prince Nathan?" Delfin
"It's a long story, Nathan. But Jackson breaks the barrier for us. Only someone with pure human blood can magically break the transparent barrier. As a result, it helped us, wolves, to get in." Ghino explained. My eyes shortly followed Ghino and his friends marched to the dining area where we left some of the food and drinks. Perhaps they smelled the sweetness and savoured dishes on the table. "What? But I thought you magically broke the barrier last night, Ghino? I heard Mr Connor and Mr Delfin discussed it was your boisterous howl that breaks it. Even heard them talking about referring to you as True Alpha." Now I'm getting confused and followed them to the dining area. Out of curiosity, I deliberately laid my eyes outside the nearest window and found out the black towering barrier was still standing from the distance. And Ghino just mentioned Jackson breaks the barrier. Then, how on earth it was still on? "The three of us tried earlier when we arrived, dude. We
"However, the three of us will serve as the eyes and ears on your way to the restaurant." Jackson confused me with his statement. "Im sorry, my wolf could not follow what are you talking about, Jackson," I said, displaying those long curve lines on my face. Then, I dragged my gaze at Ghino, thinking he knows what is going on. However, I only got a lift of the tip of the shoulders from Ghino. "Wait a sec. I'm gonna get them in my backpack first." Jackson moved out of his seat and rushed to the couch where all their backpacks are set. And I helplessly followed Jackson's feet heading away from the dining area until he passed the wall that divided the dining area and the house's mini-lounge. "Do you have any idea what he was doing?" This time, my wolf asked Nadine since Ghino doesn't has no idea about it. They were supposed to be a team. How come Ghino did not know what Jackson is about to do? "Let's just wait for Jackson. He's the one who will explain to us everyt
"Nathan, please, close your eyes." Ghino smiled at me with a handkerchief in his hand. "What's your deal this time, huh, Ghino?" I smiled back, yet I closed my eyes as he ordered me to. Then, Ghino wrapped the handkerchief around my head. Even tightened the grip of the handkerchief to make sure I could not take a peek at what is going on. "You'll know about it later, Nathan. Be patient." Even if my eyes were covered with a handkerchief, Ghino's smile was undeniable. His too much excitement is all over the tiny space of the room in his apartment. "And don't you dare cheat on me, Nathan. Don't use your werewolf eyes, okay?" "Fine. Should I be feeling the same way you do right now, huh, Ghino?" I smiled back. "Don't. I don't want to ruin the moment. And I almost forgot. Don't use your werewolf senses. It will certainly ruin my surprise gift for you." "Okay, boss. But I can't deny the fact that the entirety of my wolf is feeling excited at the moment, all right? It
"Ghino... I remember now." I muttered back. "Yes. You remember about this kind of case. Actually, we found out that there's only one case in the history of the world this event occurred five hundred years ago here in New York City. And this event was purported to be referred to as..." "I remembered everything about you, Ghino." My unexpected words made everyone turn their faces in my direction. All their mouth were shut off with their jaws dropped to the ground while staring at me. Ghino's glimpses were sharp. Several curve lines have also displayed on his forehead. And I'm letting him read what was running on my head at that moment. "What did you just say?" Ghino made it clear. "Yes. What did you just say, Nathan?" Jackson seconded. "You heard me, Ghino. I remembered that night when you surprised me with candlelights, a fake band of your friends, and a bouquet of red roses in our first monthsary. And I remembered the first day you said I love you..." This
"What so special about those two anyway? I mean, how on earth they could create such a powerful barrier without any help from a witch, mage, sorcerer or anyone who can cast dark magic?" None of them showed their surprised faces about it. Perhaps all their pack members were aware of them already. Why am I not? "I didn't know you are fond of watching those kinds of movies, Nathan. What movies have you watched already? The Originals? Teen Wolf? Or Sabrina?" Jackson burst out laughing as he studied the inevitable seriousness on my face. "Wait... Are those too existed in the world?" Then he set those jars of mountain ash and wolfsbane below his foot as he grabbed his phone. Ghino stealth a glimpse at the rearview mirror heading to Jackson's spot. "Werewolves existed, dude. So, probably those monsters existed too. They were like us, werewolves, hiding from those human faces who we met every day. Perhaps they were simply waiting for the right time." "But no one answered me wi
Ghino's statement immediately changed everyone's thoughts on the case. From being on my side earlier, they shifted their loyalty to Ghino without any signs of doubt or hesitance. Well. Indeed, Ghino was right about Bug Boss and his wolves. They don't care about slaughtering everyone's throat until they get what they want from me - my dad's alpha badge. Ghino was only thinking of the bigger picture of the case. There is no doubt he wanted to protect me. But he cared not just for me but for everyone, including his friends. That was one of the qualities I love Ghino the most. "Okay. Let's just say your intention was pure to protect everyone without asking for something in return. How can a jar of that powder cover up the entire size of the building, huh?" I asked. This time, with a bit of irritation. No matter how hard I try to think about it, we need at least five jars of mountain ash if we aim to protect every human being in the entire building. The worst part is th
"Just say it, dude. We don't have much time!" Edwin impatiently announced. Amongst us in the room, Edwin and Nadine were the ones who have the right to complain when based on my quick observation, they were done installing all those CCTV cameras and traps throughout the building. If my instinct was right based on Jackson's awful expression, it means that they have to uninstall again those they planted throughout the room. And I find it kinda complicated to keep repeating the same things all over again. And with the fact that my wolf is not their obligation, they can detach themselves anytime they want. I don't want to impose here but I still need them. All of them. "I made it, guys! I connected the line successfully." From a minute of awful expression, Jackson's mood suddenly lifts in a split second. Everyone's saddened expressions, including me, of course, followed Jackson's. My wolf could not believe that despite the exhausting bodies and late time, Jackson stil
