That night while the other partied, Raul found his way, using his sense of smell and following Virgil’s directions to locate the hideout of the werewolves in the city.He had to ditch Claire’s friend to be there. He had her in his bed and had drugged her drink so she would fall into a deep sleep to buy him enough time to find them. She was fast asleep when he crept out and transformed to allow him the speed he needed to beat time.He had planned it earlier with Virgil who had given him the pills to use in making her fall into a deep sleep. It worked, and since he was not at the club with the rest which she agreed to, it was easy to actualize his plans.He was able to find the group and in his werewolf form, he approached their circle slowly. They watched him, ready for a fight. The alpha of the group came forward and realizing the werewolf was not there for a fight, asked in a calm voice.“Who are you; and why are you here?”

Ella paused, gazing at him. She liked Raul and hoped that he would like her too. She was amazed to see that he was rejecting her so she devised a strategy. She scoffed and got on her feet approaching him slowly.“I’m here to help you,” she said.“Help me?” Raul chuckled. “What are you talking about? I don’t need your help for anything.”“Hmm… You’re rude as you’re cute.” She commented, trying to ignore his gestures, and continued. “I heard about your story and I know all about you and your lover, Hayley…”At this, he was astonished. He turned to face her and frowned. “What do you know about her?”“I know that she’s disappeared from the mainlands and that you two once had a thing.”“Wait… what?” Raul cut in rudely.“Do you deny it; that she was your lover?” she continued.

He got on his feet and allowed the paramedics to do their job.“Can you hear me?” they asked Hayley as they tried to stabilize her.“What is your name?” one of them asked her.“A-Hayley…” she replied weakly.“She’s weak.” They murmured to one another.The guy was watching and observing them. His friends gathered him, worried.“Dude, you seem worried about her.” one of them said.“You barely even know her.” another added.He eyed them briskly and looked away from them to concentrate on the paramedics.One of them suddenly approached them holding a pen and a piece of paper.“So which one of you is going to be answering my questions?” he asked calmly.“I will.” The guy replied quickly.“Ok. Please come with me, sir.” He was carried away from his friends. “I’m sorry but we&

Hayley spared no effort the next day, she hurriedly went to the mayor’s place as soon as it was the time. It seemed like the mayor was in turn anxious to meet with her for a second time. She hugged Hayley as she came in. Hayley was surprised. She hugged her back a little nervous, wondering what was going on.The mayor was in a long exquisite robe, her hair was a little rough and she looked like she was just out of the office. They strolled to the garden as they exchanged pleasantries and sat at the already set table in the garden to have drinks.“I know you’re wondering why I called you here.” She started softly.Hayley was silent. She gazed at her calmly, trying to study her expressions.The mayor seemed uneasy. She was fidgeting as she spoke. “There’s something I want to tell you. it might seem a bit odd but um…” she licked her lips and smiled. “How’s Lucas?”At this, Hayley&rsquo

Raul took a deep breath standing at the front door of Ella’s house. He had been standing there for almost five minutes contemplating within himself whether or not to knock on the door.Meanwhile, Ella was watching him from her window, unseen. She chuckled at his confused state, studying his expressions to know what he was up to. Raul kept his cool and made up his mind to leave without being noticed. Ella watched him walk down the stairs and then she opened the window and called out to him.“Is that the best option?”He was a little stunned. He turned to look at her window to see her looking out and smiling at him. “I wanted to check if you were home but then I remembered you usually work late on Mondays. Didn’t realize you were back early.” Raul lied.“Hmm… so what now?” she folded her arms gazing at him. She knew he was making it up but she wanted him to come into her house willingly.
