"Fuck! That was close!" Scott left his apartment and went into the woods. After jumping off the building, he shifted and broke into the apartment on the next floor. Luckily, the owner wasn't there. He stayed for a while after shifting back and running away. "I want to know who's that guy. I can smell his wolf."Scott ran off, sensing Darren was still around the building. He knows he can smell him and will chase him again. He would have caught Leona and taken her back to Victoria. LEONA'S POV Tyler came to my place with Darren's clothes. He went to Darren's house and told Madam Sonia he was with me and needed some clothes. She was ecstatic upon hearing it and called."Leona, dear, I just heard Darren is with you until now. Your dad and I are happy knowing you both get along well.""Yes, mom. His migraine attack, so I let him stay. I didn't want to let him drive home with his condition," I need to get used to calling her mom. She would constantly reprimand me to call her Madam. "Mig
DARREN'S POV"Mom! What are you talking about?" I feel embarrassed with my mom. Leona went to the kitchen and grabbed some water to drink. Her face was red as a tomato. "I was just stating facts here. Look, you slept with Leona. What comes next?" Mom glared at me, "Babies!" "Oh, God, stop. Mom, it's not what you think, okay? Nothing happens. Right, Leona?" Leona nodded, drinking two glasses of water already. "Seriously?" Mom looks upset. Her lips loose as Leona nod, "Dammit, son! You're too slow!" Dad whistled, "That's the first.""Okay, let's change the subject. I don't want to hear about it."Dad gave me a frown face and was about to speak up. "Don't push it, dad," I held up my palms. He immediately backed off and continued eating. Tyler and Sophie's eyes shone with astonishment. I glanced at Leona. Her face went back to its normal color. Next time, I should start making moves to seal what my parents think about us. Moving forward, mom and dad spent their day at Leona's apart
DARREN'S POVI'm glad Leona likes her new apartment. I personally chose the place. The road was passable, going to our house. I can check on her every day and easily come for any emergency. My parents love the area too. It was accessible to the highway and easy to find. Mom was planning to invite her into the house more often. She and dad were very excited, thinking we were getting along well. But talking about babies was still early, especially since we were not married yet. Out engagement is on the way. Until then, I still had to work on lifting my curse, and Rupert was still tailing the witch, and I hadn't heard from him for days. "Cora, did Rupert call?" I asked Rupert's mom. I am worried. His phone was out of reach. This isn't him."He did yesterday. That boy rented a house near the so-called witch. He was watching her round the clock. I was supposed to tell you, but you didn't come home yesterday.""He rented there? At the suburb? Why didn't he call me?""Darren, I told him. B
DARREN'S POVI rushed to the address Rupert gave me. The house he rented was across the street. The second house to the left. He had a good sight of the witch from where he's at. He's got the telescope he used to spy on her everyday. I knocked at the door, but Rupert didn't answer. I peeked out the window, but no one was at home. "Where on earth is that guy?" I was about to call him when I saw him came out of the witch's home. He waves at me."You're here. Come on!" "What are you doing? Did you sneak into her house again? Rupert, I swear….""Relax. I just helped her throw the garbage.""So, you're friends with her now?" "Ahhh, slight. But I told her about you, and she's willing to listen."Listen? I furrowed my brows. Instead, he urged me to follow him, and I did. She was in the kitchen when we entered her house."Mariko, this is Darren. My….”"The werewolf," Mariko answered, cutting Rupert off. She was calm now and friendly. Rupert did make progress here and persuaded her mind. M
DARREN'S POVI rushed into Mariko's house. Rupert was waiting for me by the door when I arrived. He showed me the secret room and the bedroom. Mariko's clothes and potions are gone. Everything else was intact. "Fuck!" I let out a thunderous roar. "Ah, Darren," Rupert stood there in fear. I was supposed to ask him why, but my words came out barking. When I looked at my hands, they became claws, and my clothes were on the floor, ripped apart. I quickly faced the mirror and saw myself turned into a werewolf. Shocked, I scratched the mirror and broke it. What was happening to me? I don't shift when it is not a full moon, but how did it happen? I turned around to hide my face from Rupert. He hasn't seen my wolf yet, and I don't want to scare him. "Bro, it's okay. I've seen it before. I just didn't tell you."Huh? He saw me? Fuck! Okay, calm down self. Think about how I am going to shift back to being a human. Usually, after the full moon, my body shifts back on its own. Now, how am I s
DARREN'S POVI came home hopeless. Without Mariko, how am I supposed to lift my curse? She was my last hope. For years I've searched for witches to help me and failed countlessly. Now, we found one, but she left."Ahhh!" I screamed out my frustrations. Punching the wall to my secret room. I feel nothing but wretched."Oh, my, Darren! Stop that!" Mom heard me and came quickly. I continued punching the wall, "Son, please, stop!""Darren!" Rupert and dad hold my arms forcibly. My hands were covered with blood, but their pain was nothing compared to how I felt."Mom, dad," I broke down in tears. Mom didn't know what had happened and asked Rupert. He told them."Oh, son, please, don't hurt yourself. Don't lose hope. I'm sure she'll be back. Your curse will end, I'm sure," mom embraces me."Curse? No, not my son! No! This is my fault. We must go back to the mountain," dad loses it again. I forgot he could not tolerate my curse and lost himself every time."We must go back!" he ran out to my
DARREN'S POV We went to Leona's apartment after buying some flowers and fruit. Sophie told me she stayed in bed this morning and didn't eat anything, so I also bought some food for her. But when we got to her place, I didn't expect Andrei to open the door. "What are you doing here? And where's Leona?" I asked harshly. "Darren, she's in bed. I was checking her out when Leona told me she wasn't feeling okay, so I came," Andrei glanced at the flowers. "Andrei? Who is it?" I heard Leona from her room. I shoved Andrei to the side and went to the kitchen. Rupert followed me holding the fruits and food. There were flowers and food on the table. It was from Andrei. I don't think mine was not needed. "Wait, I'll go get Leona," Andrei went to Leona's room. "Let's go, Rupert." "What about these?" Rupert held up the fruits and food. "She doesn't need it," we hurried out and slammed the door before I lost control and shifted. We head home. I swerved towards the cliff beside the road and
LEONA'S POVI can't go home like this. I need some time to heal. One of the things my body had to adapt to living with the werewolves, it healed fast. I parked my car at the farthest end of seven eleven, waiting for my wounds to heal. But after a few hours, I'm still squirming in pain. Nothing changes. "Shit! I have to go home before Sophie does and sees me," I bought some food and chips and drove fast home. I took a quick shower and ate. My plan is to lock myself in my room until I am healed. Pretending to be sick was easy. Sophie will believe it. She hates getting sick. After a while, Sophie came home and knocked on my room. I told her I got some flu and didn't want her to get infected. Coughing out and sneezing while talking. "Do you need to go to the doctor? I will take you if….""No, Sophie. I'll be fine. I just need some time to rest, please.""Okay, call me if you need anything.""I will," I sighed with relief. I knew she would call me on FaceTime, so I took my blush and pa
