Mag-log inWe arrived at the city before midday. My eyes felt so heavy as if they were going to fall, and my stomach was growling from hunger. I didn't sleep well last night because of those mosquitoes and ants. I'm sure Aaron's also starving.There are a lot of moving things around, resembling a buckwagon, but they are more advanced. "Those are cars," Aaron said, giving me a slight nudge. "Come on, we should sell this horse first. We can't keep it with us if we want to stay here. We'll have to pay for a farrier and vet."There are a lot of new things around I haven't seen before. The streets are busy with cars. Many people are moving back and forth on the sides of the tall buildings. It's so noisy, and the air is thick with pollution.I followed Aaron to the horse buyer's house. He negotiated with the man while I waited for him outside. Finally, Aaron stepped out of the door with a bag full of cash."Good grief, he finally agreed with the price. Come, let's grab something to eat." Aaron held my
I lost control over myself again. My body ran and leaped towards Aaron. I'm seeing him from a bloody lens. He's dangerous, like how I saw Luna Asfara before I killed her. I needed to stop myself before I could make the same mistake again, but I felt so powerless over my wolf. I don't want to see Aaron die in my own hands, but I can't even close my eyes.Even though we've just met, Aaron is the first man who made me feel this way. It is as though I've found home after being banished from the pack. I can be who I am around him. He might not be perfect and acts like a kid sometimes, but I like him for who he is, and I never thought I'd be the reason for his death.Thoughts stopped racing in my head when my wolf jumped above Aaron and attacked those wolves who were trying to kill Nathan. Fiercely, my claws scratched and threw them away one by one while growling until they all ran away and escaped.Then I turned towards Aaron. The blood from my vision is already gone, as if there's no long
Aaron's question made me feel guilty. I want to do what Hellen asked me to do, but I don't want Aaron to hate me and distance himself. He already felt betrayed that his mother didn't tell him the truth. I shouldn't make it more difficult for him, so I decided to spill the beans."It's not that I'm hiding something. I'm just respecting your mother's request," I said."Tell me about it. I won't be mad," he replied."You really want to know?" I asked, thinking about what Hellen told me: how Aaron acts when he's mad. It's not that I'm afraid of him; I just don't want to cause trouble."Of course. She's my mother. I have the right to know whatever is going on," he said.I sighed before saying, "Your mother asked me to take care of you once she's gone. She's going to pay me her savings instead of using it to cure her illness.""What?" Aaron exclaimed. "How could she do that? I'm not a child anymore who needs a nanny. She should have thought about herself first.""She loves you so much that
Hellen was right. I know nothing about how she felt. Also, my parents did the same. Even though I've disappointed them, they still think about my safety. They did everything they could to save me.After eating our food, Hellen and I went back home. On our way, I've been thinking about what she asked me. I don't really know if I can do it, but I think it's worth a try. I can not only earn money to support myself but also experience how it is to be human.I sighed as I lay down on my bed. Looking at my palms, I remembered what I did to Luna Asfara. I don't know how I could kill her. I've never done such a thing before. Something must be wrong with my wolf. All I know is that it's dangerous to transform, for I might not be able to control myself again. I don't want to hurt innocent people.I held the pendant that my mother gave me before I left. It made me remember the memories I had with my parents when I was young. How time flies by. One moment we were happy together, then in just a bl
I swung my legs off the bed and tidied up my bedsheets and pillows before going to the kitchen. The woman was sitting by the table, having coffee. She's so kind. A lot of things happened last night, and I forgot to ask her name."Good morning, ma'am," I said, approaching her."Morning, Tricia. How's your sleep?" she asked."Great. Thanks for the soft bed," I replied, though her question made me remember the wet dream I've had."I'm glad to know that. Want some coffee?" She asked, standing up. "By the way, I'm going to the market today to buy some things, and I'll need some help. Can you come with me?""Of course I can. That's the least I can do." I sat down in the chair. "What's your name, by the way?""Just call me Hellen." She offered a warm smile, stirring the coffee in a mug with a spoon. "Here's your coffee.""Thanks." I sipped the black coffee. It smells incredible and tastes great, though it's the first time I've tasted it. Werewolves aren't fond of coffee, and I only drank tea
I guess they are right. I did not expect it would be this hard to lie to someone you find attractive, especially when he looks into my eyes. I feel like he is undressing me. All the facade and walls I have put around me crumbled down, and I lay there helplessly naked.Come on, Tricia. You can't let a stranger do that to you. You're a beta; you should have the power to resist, especially with a human, and yet... Yet I felt so vulnerable no matter how much I reminded myself."The truth is, I came from the world of werewolves. I've done something unforgivable, and they banished me," I said, giving up all my inhibitions. I don't care if he would laugh or make fun of me anymore. I have nothing to lose anyway.Aaron didn't say anything but looked into my eyes, as if trying to find any signs of lies. "You don't seem to be lying," he said, still holding my eyes. "And you look pretty despite what you're wearing."Wait. Did he just compliment or insult me? I looked at my arms. I'm wearing this
