CHAPTER 1 ~ Caught In The Act

Donnie's POV

     I'm super excited to be done from work today. This way I can visit my boyfriend who I love so much and can't wait to see. I am hardly unable to get him out of my head as he is all I can think about everyday. I work as a waitress at a small restaurant in this part of the city. This is how I have been able to sustain myself for long and I am very familiar with my boss. 

I get along very well with my boss and co-workers without issues, little conflicts are easily settled. I am a no nonsense person who hardly let my emotions out for anyone until I met Eric, my boyfriend. It's a surprise to everyone, especially my colleagues who have never seen me get along with any man before. 

I'm Donnie, with no surname as I grew up in an orphanage and don't know who my parents are supposed to be. I have no memory or records as to where I come from, so I've been able to get this job and finish high school thanks to one of the nuns at the orphanage. I'm still trying to investigate who my family are. 

I want to at least know if I still have one or not. Most of the other kids at the orphanage were either abandoned by their family or lost their parents tragically. My case is different as I was just found with this necklace I'm wearing on my neck and nothing more. This should mean I was given away, so I want to find my parents, just to know why they did that to me. 

I grew up as an introverted person. I never go out with friends or clubs at all. I could hardly share my problems with anyone, I didn't see any special person to talk about my problem with. But I got into fights most of the time because of my temper, and I have amazing strength. Perhaps my strength is what God gave me in compensation to what my parents did to me. 

I met Eric two years ago when he came to the restaurant. I served him, we didn't get along quite well and we almost fought. He was always surprised that I had enough strength and was not scared of him. He started being nice to me, I still hated him then. He would follow me and come to work deliberately to see me, I still did not give him attention until one night. A group of unknown men were following me on my way home. 

I am not usually scared of walking alone in the dark, but somehow it felt different then. I walked faster because there were too many. One of them suddenly stopped in front of me, blocking my path. I tried pushing him off but he was way too strong. Just when I thought it would be over for me, Eric came to the rescue. It's a good thing he was following me then, else the story could be different by now. 

He offered to take me home which I didn't decline this time because I still felt afraid. For the first time, I was really scared and didn't want to be alone. That's how we got close and became friends. He would bring me flowers and take me out most of the times when I am free. 

I felt free with him and could finally share my thoughts with someone for the first time. With time, I grew to like him and those feelings escalated to love. It took a year, he finally confessed and we have been dating for a year also. Our anniversary is next week and I've got big plans for us. 

Though I don't know if he has plans for us. We're not really fighting but we've been going through a lot of arguments lately and I'm still unsure what exactly is going on with him. That won't stop my love for him, I care about him a lot. Luckily for me, I got off work earlier than usual today. 

I'm done with work and I quickly leave just for him. I took a cab to his apartment and got there in no time. I rushed upstairs to his apartment, I stopped at the door when I heard strange sounds coming from inside. Those sounds are just like that of… Is this what I'm thinking? Hadn't Eric been too naughty lately. I understand how he feels as my boyfriend but then I have no words for this. 

I can't believe he's actually watching porn. I chuckled softly as I entered the passcode and went inside the apartment. I was expecting to see him in the living room but I didn't. Instead I met something unexpectedly shocking. The TV is off and there are literally clothes everywhere in the apartment. I also found disgusting underwear which I am very sure is not mine. Is this what I think it is? Eric better not be cheating on me right now. 

I continued to hear the sounds which seemed to be coming from the bedroom. I rushed towards there and truly, I met the most heartbreaking sight I have ever seen in my life. I just stood there dumbfounded, staring at the both of them having sex right in front of my eyes. I mentally slapped myself to see if I was dreaming and I'm probably still at work, that I'm probably tired and fell asleep. Sadly, that's not the case. This is reality. 

I wanted to say something but nothing came out of my mouth for a while. My feet went numb, I didn't really know what to do or say. They did not notice me in the room either, they were too engrossed in the shit they were doing to look at the door. I finally found my voice after recovering from the shock. 

"ERIC!!!" I yelled at the top of my voice. 

They both stopped what they were doing, flinching in shock. Eric looked at me and sighed.

Did he just sigh? What does this mean? Is he not repentant? Is he taking me as a joke or what? 

"Oh you're here." Was all he could say. 

"Is that her?" The bitch on the bed asked him. 

He nodded sitting beside her, "Yes, this is my holy and stupid girlfriend Donnie."

Holy? Stupid? Is that what he thinks of me after all this while? Doesn't he love me anymore? 

That made my blood boil more than anything. I totally lost my cool. Eric's words pierced my heart like a sharp dagger, I didn't want to live at this moment. But then, I'm going to teach this bitch a lesson on why she should have never messed with me by going close to my man. 

"Point of correction missy. This man is mine, he was never yours to begin with. You're just too dumb to understand that." She said as if reading my thoughts. 

"You shameless bitch! I'm going to deal with you!" I charged towards her angrily. 

I pulled her out of bed by her hair and started beating her up. Of course I am unbelievably strong and she is no match for me-

She pushed me off suddenly and the room started to shake as she transformed into something I don't think I've seen before. It faced me and growled at me, that's when I know what it is. A wolf! 

My heartbeat increased and my legs shook in fear, I have never seen anything like this in my life. She attacked me, I became weak and darkness took over.
