Walking through the house, I finally smelled him and was tempted to walk towards him. I thought about just leaving, but that would be too unethical. The smell ended at a door that I didn't know what was inside, but everything indicated it was another room. I opened the door and came across some steps. Right, it was a basement. Classic, many houses had basements, and his was one of them. I slowly descended the seven steps and looked around; it was light. Too light to see what looked like a transformation chamber. Then I saw him, naked, getting dressed.

“What does this mean?” I asked him, approaching him. He was startled and covered himself with the clothes he was holding.

“How long have you been there?” he asked, startled. “You weren't supposed to be here,” he said.

“You should have masked your scent better, then, or maybe slept in the bedroom or something,” I replied, angry. It seemed like he still wanted to hide things

    “If it were up to me, we'd be in separate rooms. Actually, I'm fine now, so you don't even need to be here with me. Why don't you leave?” I asked. I didn't even know if I was flirting with him or not, but I was going to see where this conversation would take us.“Because you're here,” he said. “I care about you, Naomi,” he said. Casper seemed sincere, and his scent intensified even more, as did the rate of his pheromones. Despite the amount, there was something about it that made it no better than Lancelot's, but he had his charm, I had to admit.“Do you really care about me, Casper?” I asked, staring at him seriously, without joking. “Or are you just doing this because you feel you have no control over me and my decisions, since you did not make them?” I asked him. “Is all this because Lancelot is winning me over and not you?” I asked, being bold. The red glow in his eyes intensified, indicating that the phrase had had some effect.“I don't need to win you over, Naomi. You were alrea

    “Everything's fine now,” I said, reassuring the boys. “Not that you care,” I said, making it clear that I had noticed everything that had happened. “Are you okay?” I asked.“I'm more worried about you,” Lancelot said, approaching me. His pheromones were strong, and his scent drew me in. “Do you want to stay at my place?” he asked. I was tempted to accept, but I sensed Casper's angry aura and decided to decline. There was no reason to go to his house, especially after I remembered that he had seen me at the meeting. Besides, there were still some unresolved issues with him. As for Casper, there were a few things to do. I had strong feelings for him and wasn't interested in pretending I didn't. Talking about our children had also done me a lot of good, so I thought it would be more worthwhile to go with him, at least at that moment.“I'm sorry, Lancelot, but not this time,” I said. “You need to work, and I need to think about some things. We can talk later, okay?” I said. He agreed, rel

    “Naomi?” I heard Lancelot call me as I fell to the ground, completely off balance. “Naomi, are you okay?” he repeated. Casper also bent down to check on me, but I was so dizzy that I didn't know what was happening. All I could feel was my hearing becoming extremely sharp. At that moment, I didn't even remember that the car had stopped for some reason. Something must have happened between the vehicles in front, which is why it was so noisy. My body was burning up, and I couldn't speak; I just wanted to try to see. I couldn't tell Casper from Lancelot.“Shit, she's changing,” I heard Casper's voice say. “Naomi, not here, not now,” he said. I understood his words, but I had no control. There was too much interference and too much going on, and I just had no control. “Try to hold on,” he repeated. I tried, but it was difficult. My skin was burning even more.“She won't make it; she needs to get off the street,” Lancelot said to him. “Help me carry her,” he asked. Then I felt my body being

  • The Price of a Second Chance   25 – Dangerous Ideas

    “For today, I'm responsible for you. What kind of person would I be if I let a drunk woman walk around alone?” he said, pretending to be a gentleman. He wasn't, and it didn't suit him. “Something serious could happen to you.”“And what kind of person are you for getting a woman who likes you drunk, even though you know it?” I asked. I hadn't had a drink in a long time, so my body was probably reacting worse than usual.“I didn't get you drunk, Naomi,” he said. “I didn't know you were so weak when it came to alcohol. The occasion called for wine, but if I had known it would end up like this, I wouldn't have offered you so much,” Casper said. It seemed true, but at that moment, it didn't matter anymore whether he had done it on purpose or not. I was already drunk.“And what did you mean by something happening?” I said indignantly. “I'm a wolf, Casper. I'm perfectly capable of defending myself. I'm a wolf, a single mother, and angry at life. Of course, I can defend myself. Don't underest

    “I'm not taking you to Lancelot's, Naomi,” he said. Casper looked angry. “If you don't want to go back to your place, you can come to mine,” he said. “What do you think?” he asked. In the past, that question might have sounded like a sexual invitation, but at that moment, I knew it wasn't. I mean, later I knew it wasn't.“Are you jealous?” I asked, laughing. Casper then opened the car door and put me in the passenger seat. “Don't be like that; don't be so rough with me,” I said, as if he had assaulted me by putting me in the car.“Stop talking, Naomi. Let me help you. Let's go to a hotel, okay?” he said, walking around the car and getting into the driver's seat. “Let's go anywhere but Lancelot's house,” he said, starting the vehicle.“It doesn't have to be his house; it can be the coffee shop,” I said. It seemed like I was provoking him, but I wasn't. At least now he knew what not to do when he took me on a date. Not too much wine.“Naomi, if I could, I wouldn't even let you get close

    “You're good,” he said, satisfied. “Of course, I'm not calling you a baby-making machine or anything,” he said, correcting himself. “But you did something a little impossible,” he said.“We did, Casper,” I said, correcting him. Men. “Remember, they don't make themselves,” I said. He agreed. “Anyway, it's really amazing, you know what you missed. Well, now you can brag about having three children altogether,” I said. Usually, that's what wolves did. I used to do it too, until I started getting a lot of questions about where the father was. That happened a lot with wolves, too. However, it was quite common for wolves to die in conflicts. I even said that was why they didn't have a father. I hoped Casper would never find out, although it wasn't too hard to come to that conclusion.“Can you tell me about the most aggressive one?” he asked boldly. Clearly, a father interested in fighting. It was a hobby for some; I couldn't judge; it was almost like a way of life.“For someone judging aver
