Francine was taken aback by his reaction. She doesn't doubt her father's decision, but she was astounded because her father had planned for Azure to live in their home. She was sure he was a stranger, and her father had little knowledge of him.
Another reason she reacted the way she did was that she didn't like the strange emotions that had been coursing through her system since she first saw Azure. She has a peculiar sensation that she has never experienced with any other boy.
"Dear, don't you like the dishes I cooked? What is your favorite? I can cook again..." Her mother asked shyly.
"Is... this really true? Can I eat these foods?”
Azure's face showed amazement.
Zeke appeared to feel pity for him. "Azure, have you never eaten something like this? Don't be concerned. Everything you see is edible. No one will stop you," her father said with a smile.Royce clenched his teeth at the sight, unable to believe that an annoying outsider is inside their home and dining with them.Azure did try to eat something, a beef steak, and his eyes dilated as he chewed it.
"Is everything okay?" Beatriz asked worriedly.
Before speaking, Azure devoured the food. "This food is delicious. I've never had this kind of meat before," Azure remarked in surprise.Francine noticed her mother's amusement at Azure's subtle flattery.“Tsk. Azure, where do you live, it seems you have never eaten such meat?" Royce asked, irritably.Zeke turned to face his son. "Royce, stop slandering Azure. It's not appropriate that you're fighting in front of food."
"Because I don't want to see the face of this stranger in this household!" Royce exclaimed.
They were all taken aback. Azure's lost his appetite. He rose from his chair and headed into the living room.Royce rose from his seat as well and followed Azure. "You're impolite; you don't even tell us where you're going, and you leave your food behind!"Azure was completely impatient. Royce was about to grab him by the shoulder but he pushed him away. Accidentally, he knocked a can of paint over a crochet scarf that Francine was sewing.Francine's eyes widened when she noticed the paint had fully coated the scarf she was sewing for her father.
Francine jumped to her feet and dashed towards the crochet scarf.“Francine?" Royce called her in surprise.But when her big brother saw what happened to her crochet scarf, Royce beat Azure's face."You bastard! Don't you realize how much work my sister put into sewing a scarf for our father?"Francine saw Azure was stunned, and his face softened.
Apologizing is not in Azure's nature and demeanor. But this time he felt a bit sorry and guilty because he had just ruined the Lycan King's daughter's scarf. He was aware that creating seems difficult.He let out a sigh. "Sorry, I didn't want to damage the scarf you were working on," even Azure was taken aback by what he said.Royce clenched his teeth "Hmm. I had no idea you knew the word sorry. It's a good thing you apologized to my sister. Because if you don't, you'll have crooked teeth now."Azure clenched his teeth at him as well. "Of course, it's your fault. This would not have happened if you hadn't irritated me.""And you truly blamed me? Why don't you just admit your bad behavior?"Zeke took a step between the two men. "Royce, Azure, stop fighting. We are currently eating,"Zeke consoled his daughter. "Francine, I know how much time and effort you put into sewing me a scarf. And I appreciate that, my princess. But don't be sad. Everything was an accident. Azure had no intenti
Inside the Forenbach's cozy home, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The scent of freshly baked cookies filled the air as the family chatted and laughed around the living room. Francine was intrigued by their guest, Azure, a handsome young man with an air of mystery surrounding him. "Where do you come from, Azure?" Francine asked curiously, trying to make conversation. Azure felt his irritation rise at the question. He had always been a private person and didn't like people prying into his personal life. He looked at Francine with a snobbish expression and replied, "That is none of your business." Francine was taken aback by his rude behavior. She had never encountered such a disrespectful guest before. Her shock quickly turned to anger as she retorted, "Young man, you are a guest in our home. I expect you to show some manners and respect." Zeke noticed the growing tension between his daughter and Azure. He decided to intervene before things got out of hand. "Francine," he call
Francine woke up early the next morning, feeling energized and excited to start the day. She had a spring in her step as she headed to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for her family. She had decided to make French toast, bacon, and fresh milk. As she whisked the eggs and dipped the bread slices in the mixture, she couldn't help but smile at the thought of Azure enjoying her cooking. She had always been passionate about cooking, and she hopes someday, Azure will be her biggest fan. After cooking the bacon to a perfect crisp and pouring the milk into a jug, Francine set the table with her best china and cutlery. She wanted everything to be perfect for Azure. As she put the finishing touches on the table, Francine heard footsteps approaching. She turned around to see her mother, Beatriz. The old woman walked into the kitchen. She looked surprised to see her daughter up so early and cooking breakfast. "Good morning, Mom," Francine said, trying to act casual. "Good morning, darling,"
Francine and Azure strolled through the bustling shopping mall, exploring the various stores and window displays. Azure's eyes were wide with wonder as he gazed up at the towering skyscrapers that surrounded them, clearly amazed by the hustle and bustle of city life. "Wow," he breathed, taking in the sights and sounds around him. "This is amazing. I've never been anywhere like this before." Francine smiled indulgently, her heart warming at the sight of Azure's childlike wonder. "I'm glad you're enjoying yourself," she said. "There's so much to see and do here. Where would you like to go first?" Azure looked around, clearly overwhelmed by the sheer number of options. "I don't know," he said sheepishly. "I've never been shopping in a mall before. It's all so new to me." Francine took his hand and squeezed it reassuringly. "Don't worry," she said. "I'll show you around. We can start by checking out some of the clothing stores if you like. Maybe you'll find something you like." Azure'
One month later Zeke Forenbach watched as his daughter Francine chatted happily with Azure, the unknown civilian who had stumbled into their lives. He couldn't help but feel a sense of relief that things were going smoothly between them. Francine had always been a bit of a handful, but she seemed to have taken to Azure quite well. As Zeke took a sip of his coffee, he noticed that Azure was slowly starting to relax around them. It had taken some time, but the young man was finally getting comfortable with his surroundings. Zeke was grateful for this, as he knew how daunting it could be to suddenly find yourself in the middle of a strange town, surrounded by unfamiliar faces. "So, Azure," Zeke said, turning his attention to the young man. "How old are you, exactly?" Azure looked up, surprised by the sudden question. "Uh, eighteen," he replied, a hint of uncertainty in his voice. Zeke nodded, taking note of the hesitation. He had a feeling that Azure wasn't used to being asked person
One week later Azure nervously waited for the results of the special test, his heart pounding in his chest. He knew that this test was the key to unlocking his future, and he had spent days preparing for it with the help of Zeke and Francine. They had spent countless hours pouring over textbooks and reviewing important questions that might appear on the test. Zeke had been the one to first suggest that Azure take the special test. "You're too smart to waste your talents," he had said. "You could go places if you just had the right opportunities." And so, with Zeke and Francine's guidance, Azure had thrown himself into his studies, determined to ace the test and secure his future. He won’t let down Zeke. The first man who trusted him and treated him with respect. And now, as he waited for the results, he couldn't help but wonder what his life would be like if he passed. He had always been intelligent; he knows that, but he had never quite known what to do with his talents. With the s
Zeke and Beatriz Forenbach sat at the kitchen table, sipping on their morning coffee when the phone rang. Beatriz answered, her eyebrows furrowing as she listened to the voice on the other end. "What? Is Azure okay?" Zeke asked, noticing his wife's concern. "It's the university. They're saying Azure got into a fight," Beatriz replied, looking worried. Zeke shook his head, disappointment etched on his face. "I had a feeling that his demeanor was going to get into trouble one day. Ugh, that boy,” Beatriz shot her husband a look, one that clearly communicated her annoyance with his dismissive attitude. "Let's not jump to conclusions, Zeke. We don't even know what happened yet." After one hour, Francine and Azure got back home from University. Zeke's mind immediately went to the worst-case scenario, picturing his son starting a brawl for no reason. “Francine! Azure! What the hell happened?” Beatriz asked in a worried tone. Francine’s voice was shaky as she explained what had really
Royce led Azure through the forest, the scent of pine and damp earth filling their noses. As they walked, he pointed out various spots where he had practiced his werewolf training. Azure couldn't help but be impressed by his dedication and skill. Seeing him in his element was something else entirely. "Here's where I worked on my speed," Royce said, gesturing to a stretch of open ground. "And over there, I practiced my stealth." Azure nodded, taking it all in. He had never really given much thought to werewolf training before, but it was fascinating to watch Royce go through his paces. As they continued their walk, Royce began to tell Azure about his first time shifting. He was just ten years old before, alone in the woods and trying to make sense of his strange new abilities. It had been a terrifying and exhilarating experience all at once. "I remember feeling like I was going to explode," he said, his eyes glinting with the memory. "But then, suddenly, it all clicked into place. A
