From Ghino's current condition at the moment, being loquacious and stubborn, I may assume he was already in his better state. All the bruises from his face down to his shoulders were also gone as if he looked like new aside from his growing beards. Maybe that was because of his ability as a wolf or the medicines that were injected into his body. "You're a prince, Nathan. A prince should have to be in his kingdom doing his job, having endless parties, shopping, or doing everything that pleases your eyes. And besides, aren't you supposed to be in your class today?" "I took my absence to take good care of you. Anyway, are you hungry? I will cook you ramen or any soup." I politely offered to Ghino, not because I wanted to but because I have missed my dinner last night. And my stomach was already rumbling. "You know how to cook?" Ghino asked as if he can't believe I could really do the job. "Because if you are, I'd love to. I felt like my stomach has been emptied for a long
There must be four of them but Ghino's human friend, Jackson, was not around. What they discussed earlier before I appeared out of the blue was maybe about our wolf sides that's why his human friend was out of the picture. And I'm guessing they were talking about me when all their gaze paced in three-sixty degrees. Ghino suddenly ejected a prolonged and cold air out of his nose and mouth before he dropped his gaze back to his friends. He stared at Nadine and Edwin for a few seconds, perhaps reading their minds about what to say or needing their friendly advice. But as soon as Nadine and Edwin nodded in unison, Ghino moved out of his seat and dragged me to the corner. Though his grip might be with a bit of a force, I'm not complaining. He had the right to do that after what happened earlier back on the field. "What do you really want from me, Nathan? You wanted me to say thank you for what you've done for me these days, huh?" Ghino said, "well. Thank you. Happy now?" he
After getting all the pieces of information from Ghino, I assisted him in heading to the bed for him to get enough rest. Even if his wolf already helped his body with the fast recovery, his emotional state was still having a hard time moving on. "Can you stay with me in bed tonight?" Ghino muttered while gripping my hands. His sad tone was trying to tell me he badly needed someone before he will close his eyes. I don't know if that would be the perfect opportunity for me to get to know him better since never have I ever expected him to say that kind of request considering he was a straight guy or he just need human comfort. "Okay," I muttered back before I moved his body to the middle of the bed. At first, it felt awkward when he wrapped his arms around my chest. His face was closer to mine. And I could smell the warm air coming in and out of his mouth. In the middle of his sleep, could not help but stare at his very innocent face. Though it was not the first time
Fifteen minutes later, the Sheriff and I ended up in one of the rooms in his house. Even if they were still in the middle of their optimistic celebration, the Sheriff exited after knowing it was me who visited him in the middle of the night. Perhaps he sensed the level of urgency my visitation was. "I'm so sorry for the wait, Prince Nathan." The Sheriff immediately pulled his phone out of his pocket, thinking he might have missed my text or call. But I did not notify him of any. "I should be the one to apologize, Mr. Sheriff. Visiting this late was undeniably inappropriate, especially when you guys shared a very important celebration." "No. It's totally fine, Prince Nathan. So, to what do I owe this surprise visit?" The Sheriff shortly waved his hands to the manservant who was standing close to the door and ordered him to give us coffee. "Remember about my friend Ghino?" Had to make sure if he still does. I know how hectic his schedule was helping on catching bad g
Ghino and I left no choice but to stop our unresolved debates and focused on the food and drinks at the table instead. Until then, the sounds of the spoon and fork being ticked off against the plates have squeaked in the background as we were in a race to fill our mouths with the food. Fifteen minutes before our morning classes commenced, Ghino and I got separated ways since we have taken different courses. But I promised to join him and his friends during lunchtime. After what I did to one of my friends in our soccer practice, I no longer have the audacity to tag along with them or have eye-to-eye contact with any of my friends. Even if I am the team's captain, I still felt guilty for what I did. And it's unreasonable by all means. I shouldn't have done it. But there are things done that cannot be undone. Needless to say, I was not updated as to what happened to the person with whom I break the leg. Haven't heard anything, not even from Lackey or Johnson considering
"That's what I thought." Lilith raised the tip of her brows before she stared at me from head to toe. "Ghino is forever my slave now, Prince Nathan. And all you can do is see him suffer in my hands unless if change your mind and will decide to be my mate." she then slid closer to me and throws a kiss on my lips before she and her friends disappeared from the canteen. My resentment and rage against myself burst out when I did nothing to stop Ghino. Nonetheless, beg Lilith to stop slaving Ghino since his body wasn't ready yet to get involved in another scene. The worst part was that I don't know if I can do more for him. Lilith was right. I already sacrificed everything for Ghino. Even indebted to Vladimir for forty million dollars in exchange for mating her daughter, Melissa. And Lilith, on the other hand, also wanted to mate me if I wanted to get Ghino back in my arms. But even if I have to do that, Ghino was already furious at me. He would think I was lying to him si
"Maybe next time, uncle. The restaurant is just a minute away already. Thanks though." I smiled back at the cab driver. "Then, I'll give you a one-minute piece of advice then!" he insisted. "Please, bear in mind that love will cause you more downs than ups. More sadness than happiness. But despite the million reasons to give up, always... And always find this one reason that's worth fighting for. Afraid of losing everything? Don't be. There are no permanent things in this world. All of us will pass either way. So, always choose the side that will make you happy. That's the purpose of life." And that was a hell of advice indeed. His words have pierced deeply to the bottom of my heart and soul. He was absolutely right. Needless to say, I choose to give up everything for Ghino. But I don't know how far my everything could go further. He already hates me. I'm not even sure if he still wanted to see me again for making him believe that he's already freed up from Lilith's cr
"Yes. Everything's fine. You may go." I said back, still trying to figure out when did I get the chance to hear his voice. but no matter how hard I tried to remember when and where, I could barely find it down from my memory lane. "No. Everything's not fine. This man is harassing me." To my surprise, those were the words that came out of Ghino's mouth. Could not believe he could say such words right in front of me. I may know about how angry he was with me but I could not believe he will take sides with a stranger. Ghino then sprints in the man's direction. This time, he was the one who hides behind the man's back. And the man immediately protected Ghino by blocking my gaze to get eye-to-eye contact with him. "Ghino, what are you talking about?" Could not help but ask. I slid closer to him but the man pushed me away. Hard enough I bounced back to my spot. "You heard the man. Stay away from him or else..." he suddenly cut off his words as though something has change
