Sebastian looked away from me when our eyes met. He closed his eyes and looked away. Sebastian is acting weird too. He used to smile and always laugh but now he is quiet and impassive. Jacob's arms on me become tighter but still careful for not hurting me. My hands caressing his back went to his hair and gently caressed it. "Is there a problem?" I asked softly. He didn't speak so I just let him think and calm down. After a while, he let go of me and stared at my face. "Is there a problem?" I asked again because I was worried and wondering about his actions now. That's when I noticed some scars on his face. I frowned and involuntarily raised my hand to caress his scars. "What happened to your face? Where did you get them?" I asked while examining his wounds. They have subsided but some are still noticeable. Jacob grabbed my hand and stopped me from what I was doing. My eyes were fixed on his hand. I inhaled deeply. If there are many scars on his face, there are more on his hand. H
I kept on cursing in my head because of what happened. My heart was also beating fast and I could feel my cheeks getting hot. The image of the man who came here earlier came to my mind. His cold and handsome face is unforgettable. When I remembered his silly grin, I was annoyed. Damn that man. He just kissed me suddenly, without warning and without my consent. He's a total stranger and he dared to do that bold move. What I hate even more is that I liked his kiss! I mentally face palmed. I almost jumped in shock when I heard the soft honking of the car. That's jacob's wrangler. Next I heard a knock on the door and then my name was called. "Lauren," he said. "J-just a moment!" I shouted so he could hear me. I quickly arranged the food on the table and ran to the door to the living room. "Your face is so red. What happened to you?" Jacob asked when I opened the door. "N-nothing. I'm just a little hot," I answered and looked away slightly. "Oh." He looked at my face and frowned. "
I met Leon with his childish attitude but these past days, I can see his mature side and every time that I see it, I'm surprised and unable to speak. It's like a different version of Leon that I see now. If only his attitude would always be like this, there would be no more problems, there would be no more problems for Jacob and his father. "I never thought that you would go to Galha alone. Did you do it out of guilt?" I ask. Leon sighed and he avoided my gaze. "Of course. It's my fault so it's just natural to feel huge guilt. But aside from that, there's more, and you already know what that is," he said, glancing at me again. It's my turn to sigh. I still haven't forgotten what he said there by the lake that night. But what I'm worried about is how can I say that I don't feel that way for him. That we are just friends. How can I tell him in a way that won't hurt him? I'm afraid that he'll get mad at me if I tell him my thoughts about his proposal. I don't want him to be angry with
I thought that I have all the privilege to room around the town of Magnuth because of Jacob, thinking that he is the Alpha but he is not. Now that the alpha is back here, I'm still worried about what I will do when he finds out that there is human here in his town.I just got healed and I can't leave. I'm not done with my mission yet. I hope he is kind and will reconsider to let me stay here for a while. "Are you fine with my position?" Jacob asked. "Beta?" I asked again. Sebastian laughed again in the back. "So amusing," he said. "No. Liam is the Beta, my brother's best friend," Jacob answered. "Oh. So what is your position?" "I'm the first Division Captain of Magnuth, and Seb is my right hand," he replied looking directly at the road. Woahh. First Division Captain."Aren't you disappointed?" Jacob turned to me. I raised an eyebrow at him. "Why would I be disappointed?" To be honest, his position seems more cooler than alpha and beta. Being a soldier, front liners must be st
After my video call with my Dad, I came out of the forest and went to the parked car. I can hear Sebastian's loud laugh from here while teasing Jacob with a red face. "Let's go," I said as I approached them. They both turned to me at the same time. Both of their jaws dropped as they scanned me. The first to recover was Sebastian. He quickly came to me and his eyes widened as he looked at me from head to toe. "What's your problem?" I asked laughing because he was like a child who saw a toy. "You look good in that uniform!" he said full of amazement.I looked at my clothes. I didn't even bother to change because we were going home soon. Wearing this kind of uniform again, I felt the urge to go back to service again. But I decided to take a leave because of my father and with his case right now. I'm afraid that I'll leave the military permanently."Can we take a picture?" Sebastian said then pulled out a cell phone from his pocket. I stared at the cellphone he was holding for a momen
After our encounter with the beta, we immediately drove to the place where my horse is staying. We entered a small hacienda where different types of animals were scattered. I looked around. it's like our hacienda but it's smaller. "This is where we raise animals for meat," Jacob said when he saw the way I looked around. "Is this yours?" "Yes. This is where we get our supply of meat almost every day.""How about the other citizens?" "Some have their own too and others turn it into a business. They sell it in the market for the townspeople who don't have a farm," he answered. "Ohh." I nodded. "Then why did you choose to build a farm than buy in the market?"My brother prepares to have his own farm. He doesn't want a low quality meat. He wanted it to be always fresh." I didn't ask again. He is the alpha anyway so he is sure to be picky about food and other things. Now I wonder what he looks like. Do they and Jacob look alike? Jacob stopped the car on the side so we got off. The ma
"Why did you just say this now?" I asked Sebastian coldly. "I..." Sebastian sighed. "I just don't want you and your brother to get into more trouble, so I keep it by myself."Now I understand why Lauren was acting like that when I came home, why she looked like that. Her face is flustered and her lips are swollen because of someone's kiss, not from the bite of an ant. She is in daze that's why she didn't use the right seasonings on the steak. I've been tempted many times to kiss her. If it wasn't for my self control, I would have kissed her a long time ago. But my brother... Damnit. "Did you stay there until my brother leaves?" "Yeah." "Did you see his reaction?" "Yeah." "What's his reaction?" I asked annoyed. Sebastian looked at me. I also looked at him and met his eyes. "Speak now, Seb. I'm getting irritated.""Lauren pushed her out and slammed the door, but Dean? He is smiling to himself like a fool." Dean.. he doesn't smile to everyone because he really doesn't smile. Yo
Aunt Divina took a deep breath and looked at me. She crossed her arms on her chest before speaking. "Lauren, just like a doctor, my field is human anatomy or wolf to be exact. So I don't have any answers to your question. Curse is beyond my ability. If it's really a curse then you need to see a witch, " she answered. I bent down and looked at my palms. Is it really a curse? Or are the two people I met before just fooling me? But the proofs lay in front of me that curse had clung to my father. But why did they do that? Who hates him? I looked at aunt Divina again. "How about another witch?" I dare to ask. "They can help but there are conditions in return. Esperanza doesn't do that. As long as she sees that you are a good person, she will help you. Can you accept their conditions? But I tell you, it's not easy."My mind went blank and I couldn't think of anything to say. Aunt Divina heaved a deep sigh. "I'm sorry but I can't do anything to help you with this. Have you told this to
