26. Strigoi Little Helper
Laura - Paul’s villa
I run to the window. To my surprise, Alisa is standing next to the gate under the thin canopy of a tree. She dislikes going outside on a sunny day, but here she is.
Her voice pierces inside my room. “Do you think I can’t barge inside? I have super-strength, you know?”
The poor wolf at the gate tries to make her lower the volume, but she gets even more pissed off. More curses come from her and I cover my face, ashamed from behind the curtains.
Looking down, I realize I’ve slept in the clothes I wore last night, my dress now all wrinkled up. I open up the closet and take out a bathrobe. It’s easier to put on and covers my nipples, which are swollen and visible through my dress after my wet dream.

Paul - His villa(“Into the mouth of the wolf” is a Romanian saying which has the same meaning as “Into the belly of the beast”.)After a long day at the office and countless mind-numbing meetings, I pull up in front of my house's driveway. People have already begun to flow through the gates. I have to suck it up and prepare myself since the worst meeting of all is yet to come.I'm getting a headache as I go through the wolf swarm. Handshakes, hugs, and back pats are all part of the ritual anytime we meet outside of the real world. Although many of them work for my firm, we maintain a professional atmosphere in the downtown office building.Laughter fills my living room and brightens my mood.

Bloody Full Moon 28. Not Like This
Paul - His villaI huff in disbelief. I didn’t think it would come this far. "You can’t be serious. That custom is from the medieval era, and we’ve grown and evolved past the obtuse visions of the dark ages."While the others remain silent, I sense their dissatisfaction. The conflict in their eyes reminds me of how much I hate to see them unhappy.Tamara leans on her walking stick, her piercing eyes pleading to give in. "I don't ask for a bloodied sheet to prove she's a virgin since no one would expect it from a strigoi. But let us hear your zeal and her ecstasy. There is no mating ritual without them. We'll wait here since we have excellent hearing. Only then will she be recognized as the Alpha's mate."I open my mouth to protest, but Laura takes my ha
Bloody Full Moon 29. Wolves Inc
Laura - Wolves Inc Office BuildingSince yesterday night, I haven't seen Paul. When I arrived downstairs in the morning, everything appeared as if no one had been there just a few hours before. Dan was already waiting for me. Paul had apparently already departed for work and assigned Dan to give me a ride and show me around.The tour is quite thorough, leaving nothing unexplained. I follow him through a layout of several long corridors, each lined with glass walls and white marble. As we pass an open space area, people with headphones talk simultaneously in a cacophony of voices.“Here is the call center for customer support. Most of them are wolves with abilities related to empathy and emotions, very suited to this line of work.”I stop as I hear Dan&r
Bloody Full Moon 30. Holding In
Paul - Wolves Inc Office BuildingAfter paperwork, meetings, and lunch with the staff, I return to my office for more paperwork. It's the price I have to pay for my fortune. There are many different types of wealthy guys out there.Those born into wealthy families are some of the most fortunate. Then some businessmen are ruthless and believe that taking advantage of others is the only way to succeed. The lack of this trait makes me struggle to maintain the position I have today. If I stop working, everything can collapse.Massaging my temples, I realize how tired I am. I couldn't sleep at all. Instead, all I did last night was stare at the ceiling.In the cafeteria, I strained to focus my sight on the individuals I was conversing with rather than seeking La
Bloody Full Moon 31. On a Date
Laura - Her apartmentI dash inside my apartment and into my room. Not having too much time to change and get ready for tonight keeps me on edge. My dresser isn’t as packed as the one in my room at Paul’s villa, but it should suffice.“What are you up to?”I turn around to see Alisa on the threshold, with her hands on her hips.Scouring through the clothes, I answer, “I’m in a hurry. It took me a while to sneak out of the office building and ditch my bodyguard. I have a date tonight with Bogdan Badea, the guy who tried to kill Paul and–”“Is he hot?”I roll my eyes and toss a shirt into the air, looking for something more
Bloody Full Moon 32. Melody of the Heart
Laura - Mama’s RestaurantBogdan is speaking, but it's simply background noise to me. I can't focus on our chat or his thoughts anymore. Instead, I fix my focus on Paul, who begins flirting with that woman. Is he acting like this on purpose?Paul's hand grabs hers and gently kisses her fingers. She grins at him, leaning in and exposing her large breasts. It doesn't bother me since mine are perkier and bigger. But, to be honest, I do mind. To persuade myself, I keep telling myself that it does not.I resist the impulse to interfere and put myself between them. Or maybe I don't have to since Paul isn't staring at her anymore. No, his sight is drawn to mine and lingers. As if we were the only two people left on earth, I lose track of where we are and what I'm doing.B
Bloody Full Moon 33. In a Dark Alley
Paul - Old City CenterThudding shoes plod away, followed by the clickity-clacks of women's heels. The muted sounds of people walking by are unimportant to us. We're merely two more specks in the general populous.No one pays much attention to couples making out at night on the streets of the old city center. As they seek fun and a nice place to eat and drink, the amassed people strolling around us are swept away by their own dazzling nights. Most probably, those who notice us think how sweet the lovebirds are. This is a normal night in the old city center.This alley is a little darker than the others. I pin Laura in the shadows against an ill-lit wall. I have no idea what I'm doing. I never intended for this night to get to this. But stopping now seems to be, to put it mildly, impossible.
Bloody Full Moon 34. He Belongs in a Museum
Laura - Paul’s villaMy heart is in pain. I should be proud of how human I am, but instead, I feel foolish. What did I expect? To be able to tryst with him without any strings attached? That's not how it works.I can't help but think about him as I pace across my room. His mood swings irritate me. He follows me to the cemetery and says all those beautiful things. Then he pushes me away, booting me with three words I don't understand yet. "Not like this."Then he comes after me on my date with Bogdan. His heart beats faster every time he’s near me. When he kissed me, it wasn’t an act. That kind of passion and desire, no one can fake. As I remember everything, my strides increase and my nervousness reaches new peaks.The last several days have been filled
