4: Daughter

Zeux's P.O.V.

That woman irritated me greatly. She's very shameless in what she's doing to me. She pretended we had something going on between us when we didn't. We aren't a couple. She had the audacity to approach me and harass me because she already knew who I am. That woman was madly in love with me. I wish she would leave my world, but I can't because she will spread my true identity as a werewolf.

"What's the deal with you looking like that? Did you have a fight or something?" Jason inquired.

Jason is my best friend. He was well acquainted with me. He knew my true identity. And he's the one I most trust. We've known each other since I rescued him from the men who kidnapped him.

"Zafira just came here and I desperately want to strangle her."

He laughed softly. "Perhaps because that woman is madly in love with you and lusts after you every day."

I raised an eyebrow at him. "Who wouldn't be attracted to me? Will anyone refuse me when I come?"

He just shook his head and touched his nape."Okay, if that's what you like. By the way, your new employee's name is Vanessa, right?"

"Why? What's wrong with her?"

He shrugged. "Nothing, but I find her very attractive. Is she single?"

I gave him a death glare. His eyes widened. "Why are you so upset when you look at me?"

"Why do you want to know if she's single? Are you interested in her?"

He gave a big grin. "Let's say yes. She has the most beautiful smile. I saw her earlier and then found out her name because I looked at her I.D. card. I have a feeling that woman is kind."

My brow furrowed. "Don't bother her. She's here to work, not flirt."

"How come you just stopped me from flirting with your employee?"

I gave him a bored expression. Jason is the type of person who gets bored easily. I was like him in that I did nothing but play with the woman. But I'm not like him in that once I've gotten what I need from a woman, I'll never go back to them. I'm not going to pay attention to them anymore, but Jason will return to the woman he used to dislike when he became attracted to them.

"Really, but I have to say she's really beautiful and sexy."

"You're just aroused with her, so say whatever you want."

He burst out laughing. "What's new? You already know I'm happy when I'm with different women; they make me feel strong and energetic on a my everyday life."

I became irritated with him all of a sudden. I've just returned my focus to the papers in front of me. I could hear him laughing softly. I fixed my gaze on him. He approached my office door.

"I'm leaving now because I still have a lot to do. See you later, Zeux," he winked at me before walking out to my office. I was simply shaken.

I began reading the business proposals in front of me. The ones I'll sign are piled up once more. I closed my eyes and rested my hand on my nape. Today I don't seem to want to work. I'm starting to feel sluggish.

I awoke a few moments later when Vanessa entered my mind. Jason is entirely correct. Among my employees, she has the most beautiful smile. I shook. Why do I recall that woman? It was as if she was insane. When I speak to her, she seems to have no sense. What she says is completely meaningless. She wasn't like the other women I'd met. I don't see her flirting with me, and she's the only one who thinks my face is scary.

When my phone vibrates, I look at it. I noticed a high number of missed calls from Zafira. She's a shameless scumbag. I really want her to leave my life. If she only didn't know my true identity, she might not be here because she died until now. I stood up and looked out the window. I noticed a lot of birds flying around in the sky. I suddenly remember my pack. If my pack is still alive, I might be happy living with them. Unfortunately, they are all no longer alive. I'm only alive because of the couple who look after me. I really want to thank them, but they are no longer alive. Because of one of my werewolf companions murdered them.

I have nothing else to do but cry. People were chasing us at the time. They want to kill all of us because they believe we are monsters. We are not, in fact. As humans, we can coexist with them. But when the full moon came, we couldn't control ourselves and wanted to kill everyone and eat them alive. That's why I have a metal room in my house. It has a cage inside. Inside the cage, there are four handcuffs for my two hands and feet. I made them because the full moon transformed me into a monster.

I sat down on the couch and closed my eyes. I still remember how my pack murdered them. I wish I could protect them the way they protected me. I feel bad for their death them without doing anything to save them. They had a child, as far as I remember. They has a daughter. I wish I could track her down. Maybe I can owe her something in exchange for her mother taking care of me.

I stood up and then thought of walking outside when I could see the pile of paper works in front of me. it spread on the floor so I rolled my eyes because of irritation. 

"Damn papers." I picked them up one by one until I saw Vanessa’s resume. 

I stared at it and read. I didn't pay much attention to it when she applied because I would accept her right away that day. I just really want to talk to him. My eyes widened as my eyes went to her parent's name. I gulped a few times while holding her resume. 

"M-melinda ... A-antionio ..." I stuttered mentioning two names that I will never forget. 

"She's the daughter of the couple who took care of me?" I murmured.
