I was surprised when I saw Alexei standing in front of me and I couldn't explain my feelings, which were floundering between joy and fear, and I asked myself how he managed to get here and what he wanted? I opened the balcony door for him

"

Alexei, how did you get here?" I asked in a low voice

His green eyes were shining in the dark, and he remained silent as usual, only wearing those shorts. I felt sorry for him. I don't know how he could handle the cold weather all day.

"Okay...you can come in." I said

Alexy walked in cautiously and before I locked the balcony door I watched outside, maybe someone had followed him here, but everything was completely calm.

After I locked the balcony door, I turned to Alexei, who came up to me to stand in front of me, then raised his trembling hand to my cheek and began to run his cold hand over the bruise, and a shiver passed through my body. I don't know why his hand was shaking, but I smiled at him and tried to calm him down

"It's okay...it's just a minor accident" I said

I thought that now he needed clothes and food, I had the pleasure of helping him to get him back home, and I felt a remorse, all that is happening to him now is because of my father.

I smiled at him, "Alexi, follow me from here." I said

I think of my brother Larve's room, which he occupied last year and I took Alexei to, I always left it neat and tidy even when Larive was away and made sure to clean it like the rest of the house. I went to the closet, which was full of clothes, which Larev had bought when he came to Moscow with his friends last year.

I picked out new pieces of clothing and that was all Alexi needed, I thought Larive would fit him, though Alexei's build was a little bit bigger.

I pointed to him with my hand towards the bathroom of the room, "You can take a warm bath there while I... I prepare the food for you," I said with a smile.

He looked around the room and seemed cautious in his every step. I put the clothes on the bed. Then I left the room, I don't know how I allowed a strange man to enter the house so easily, and yet I was relieved just to see him.

I went to the kitchen and started preparing a meal of bacon and a few vegetables. I remember once reading that a werewolf prefers meat of all kinds.

I laughed inwardly and was ashamed of myself, I was really taking more care of Alexei than my family. After an excited time of preparation, I finished preparing the food and sat on the sofa waiting for Alexei to come.

I turned on the TV and started flipping the channels and time passed and I noticed that it was too late. I wondered if he might have a hard time finding something? I removed the small pillow from my lap and went upstairs to La Rive's room.

I knocked softly on the door, "Alexi, are you done?" I said

Minutes passed without answering, then Alexei opened the door to appear standing in front of me, wrapping his waist with a towel, his body was completely wet and water dripping from his hair.

I froze in my place like an idiot as I contemplated the muscles of his proportional body as well as the features of the carved face, his eyes were wonderful, and as I stood like this he advanced towards me and I saw him release his lips as if he was trying to say something, but he fell back.

I woke up and looked away from the other side, "I'm sorry... I just wanted to tell you that the food is ready," I said.

I turned to leave and suddenly Alexei grabbed me by the arm to hold me towards him in a strange way, he was burying his head in my neck and the strange thing was that I did not resist him, and we were interrupted by Caroline's loud voice

"Eileen! What's going on here?" Caroline shouted

Alexi quickly pulled away and I could feel the blood rushing to my face as I ran my hands through my hair.

I couldn't find the right words I was still confused by Alexei's behavior with me and I forgot about Caroline's presence completely, I saw him step back into the room, as I hurried over to Caroline, who was looking at me angrily with her hands on her chest, I stood in front of her and I looked down

"Who is that young man? And what is he doing in LaRive"s room?" she said angrily

"This is Alexei I told you about," I said

Caroline was not a fan of receiving strangers at home.

"You're dating that werewolf?" she said

"What? Oh of course no... I was just trying to help him, he was cold and hungry... And don't forget that it was my father who made him suffer," I said in a low voice.

She was looking at me sarcastically and couldn't believe what I told her, "But I saw something more than that. He's standing half-naked and cuddling you," she said nervously, her eyebrows furrowed.

I quickly made up for it, "I'm sure he was trying to express his gratitude to me in that way," I said

Perhaps I thought he was trying to say something like thanks for what I did for him and he expressed it that way, but my sense tells me he wanted to say something else.

She remained silent for a moment, looking at me, then sighed, "Forget about it, Elaine, let's have dinner," she said

We left Alexei in the room to finish getting dressed, while Caroline and I sat at the table, where dinner was prepared, and Caroline brought out boxes of pizza with some drinks.

I watched Alexei come down the stairs and head towards us. He was so nice in LaRive's clothes, though the shirt was a bit snug against his body, so I thought I'd take him with me tomorrow to buy some clothes for his size.

"Won"t you join us?" I said to him

When he was silent and did not answer, I rose from my place towards him and pulled him by the hand to where we were seated. He must have been hesitant and considering Caroline's presence with me.

"This is my sister Caroline," I told him

"Hi... nice to meet you," said Caroline.

I nodded at her. Then he sat in the chair that was next to me, and I put before him the plate of meat that I had prepared. I saw him holding the fork and the knife and the eating began, I was astonished that he was able to use them well despite his imprisonment inside that center for a long time.

He turned to Caroline, who was watching my behavior, and rolled her eyes, not liking what I was doing, and turned to Alexei.

"So, where do you live?" Caroline asked

I furrowed my eyebrows in anger and looked at her, I didn't want her to ask Alexei questions, I had told her before that he was still vague and couldn't speak yet, and I felt like she was trying to embarrass him by asking, I don't know why she acted like this.

"I really, I don't know," Alexey said in a deep masculine voice.

My eyes widened in surprise, was he able to talk? I thought that he lost his sense of speech because of the effect of the drugs on his senses.

"You mean you're lost...we can look with you to find your house and..." she said

"Caroline!" I said angrily

"Sorry, Eileen...Good night," she said, blushing

I threw the napkin on the table angrily and watched her go upstairs, she went too far with my guest and hated it, I also think she does not like werewolves.

Turning to Alexei, "Don't worry about her, she's always worried about strangers," I said

He turned towards me and then put his hand on mine and gently held it, "Can you go out with me?" He said

I was nervous about his touch, "Now?" I said

He nodded, "If you don't mind," he said

"It's okay, I'll come with you" I said

I asked inwardly about his sudden request to go out, perhaps he was annoyed by Caroline"s conversation with him, I put on my coat because of the cold weather outside and brought another one for Alexei, but he refused and just put on a leather jacket, he seemed to be accustomed to the cold weather and then we left the house together on foot and I don"t know to whom Where did he want to go at such a late night?
