Chapter 11
I focused my attention on the briefing, while I felt Tobias staring at me on the other side of the room. When I would glance at him, he would immediately look away like it was nothing. Seeing him here made me skeptical and unnerved that my hands were starting to sweat. The hair at the nape of my neck bristles as I swallowed, trying to deviate my attention from him.
Tobias had been following me, I concluded. If this wasn’t weird, then I didn’t know what was. His appearance brought mixed emotions to boil inside of me. It was lik

The next morning, the Silver Stag informed us that the training was due today. Aunt Odessa was ceaselessly asking me about what I had been occupying my time with lately, but I was too afraid to answer her questions. If she would know about this, she would be disappointed and I couldn’t bear that. She had been making some medicines for me so my anxiety would go away and here I was, trying to worsen my condition. I did felt guilty for doing this behind her back, but this was the only way I could help my parents get back at the creature who killed them. And I was also doing this to prove something to them that all of thehallucinations, as what they called it, that I was continuously having was true.

I didn’t know why butterflies began to fly in my stomach when Tobias pressed his body against my back. My mind was screaming but, as much as I wanted to move, I didn’t. I was too caught up with the warmth his body emitted and the gentle touch of a man I rarely experienced in my life. He was too big that his whole body engulfed me, wrapping me like I was inside a cocoon. Aside from that, he smelled like aftershave, drenched with expensive perfume to intentionally captivate any woman he would pass by. I noticed it late, maybe because I was focusing on his features more than his scent.

Tobias pulled off in front of a parking lot of an apartment building that stood taller than where Aunt Odessa and I lived in. I lingered my eyes around the place, examining the surroundings around me before getting off the motorcycle. Unclipping the helmet, I took it off my head and handed it to Tobias beside me. He pulled it out of my hands and hung it on his motorcycle. As soon as he took off his helmet, his hair became disheveled as it danced with the breeze that swept on our skin. Pulling the coat tighter around me, I heaved a sigh and smoke came out of my mouth because of how freezing it was outside. But when Tobias touched my back as if to indicate me to go inside, his warm hand made the coldness subside. I nodded in response as we both headed into his apartment building and entered the lobby.

I stayed in Tobias’ place for a while to have some dinner. We had a few chats to get to know each other more and, hopefully, build a connection. At the back of my mind, I was beyond glad that I stumbled upon Tobias. It wasn’t the constant attraction that drew me towards him, but how surprised I was that we had things in common. Nowadays, it was rare to find people I could share my interest with, and, sometimes, finding people that understood me was considered a luck. I didn’t expect more from this date, nor did I anticipate to be engaged in a deep conversation with him because I thought my getting along with him was near to impossible. Gladly, I kept myself collected for the entire time so he wouldn’t notice my bizarre actions because of the anxiety.

I lodged my worn-out body on my bed after showering and stared at my phone on the nightstand. It kept buzzing the moment I arrived home, knowing that it was probably Valerie flooding me with messages. I left her on reading because I was exhausted. Maybe we could hang out tomorrow to catch up on things.As my exhaustion took over me, I fluttered my eyes close and contemplated what happened a while ago. My mind began to wander as a vivid image of a person appeared in my head. The moment I thought of him, the heat rushed to my cheeks and the butterflies in my stomach appeared. I could imagine him staring at me with his piercing gaze, his beauti

The exhaustion I felt instantly disappeared as I stared intently at the mark on Valerie’s right shoulder. I’d been with her for as long as I could remember. We’d been going to this before and this was the only time that I saw something like that. It was a mark that I’d known through my vague research about werewolves and she was the last person I imagined would have something like that. I didn’t want to assume that it had something to do with werewolves, but I couldn’t help myself from jumping to a conclusion. Noticing that it was an odd mark that was etched deep in the skin, it was hard to assume that it was a love bite rather it looked like it came from an animal. The mild swelling also made me skeptical that had me thinking that she just had this recently.

It had been a few days since Valerie and I went for a massage and we were now training in the Silver Stag for this coming ‘hunt’. Though nervous and worried, I continuously shook off all the information I’d found out recently so I could focus more. And I was grateful to Tobias for assisting me in all of the activities and deviating my attention from these nagging thoughts.“Your shooting skill is improving,” Tobias remarked with his breath brushing against my ears, causing me to back off a little.

Tobias started the engine as soon as I hopped into his motorcycle. Him noticing that I kept my hand on my lap, he put his hand behind and tugged my hands towards him. I wrapped my arms around his waist as his manly scent made its way to my nose, making me lean over to him with our bodies pressed against each other. He smelled intoxicating and I liked how he held my hand longer than I expected. Clearing my throat when I noticed that he wouldn’t let go of me, he gripped the handle before hitting the road.It wasn’t a long way home but, to me, it felt like forever. We arrived
