"Well. Jackson already saw you in your wolf form once, I guess, while a hundred times with mine. But he kept our secrets to himself since then." I hopped back into the car to check if Nathan or the driver left their phones. My plan was to reach out to Jackson, Nadine, and Edwin if it will be possible for them to come over before heading to school. However, I realized we were miles away from the main city of New York. Aside from that, the place was utterly covered and surrounded by dense forest. It will be impossible for them to locate the coordinates of the address even if I have to send to them the google map. "When was that exactly?" Lilith curiously asked. Her wolf also hopped into the car and helped me find something. Well. I don't know what she is looking for in the car. "Remember that particular night when my wolf got beaten to death? I could barely forget that night, Lilith. It was the starting point of my life when my wolf hated you to the deepest part of m

"Oh. I'm sorry, I forgot about it." I displayed a half-smile on my face while digging into the deepest part of my brain about what to do about it, especially when the barrier was already switched off. If Nathan stayed in the house without any protection from our enemies such as the magical transparent barrier, it would be better if he could be at school so my friends and I could help watch over him. Not to mention Lilith only offered Connor and Delfin's services out of her hundreds of bodyguards. We kept these transactions between the five of us. Make it eight since three of my close friends, Nadine, Edwin, and Jackson were completely aware of the plan. Nathan limits the number of humans or wolves to know about our plan to make sure only the eight of us know where he was temporarily hiding. But part of the plan was for me not to stay with him wherever we hide him. I have my life too in my apartment. "You can have your nap with me in the other room, Ghino." Nath

"It's a long story, Nathan. But Jackson breaks the barrier for us. Only someone with pure human blood can magically break the transparent barrier. As a result, it helped us, wolves, to get in." Ghino explained. My eyes shortly followed Ghino and his friends marched to the dining area where we left some of the food and drinks. Perhaps they smelled the sweetness and savoured dishes on the table. "What? But I thought you magically broke the barrier last night, Ghino? I heard Mr Connor and Mr Delfin discussed it was your boisterous howl that breaks it. Even heard them talking about referring to you as True Alpha." Now I'm getting confused and followed them to the dining area. Out of curiosity, I deliberately laid my eyes outside the nearest window and found out the black towering barrier was still standing from the distance. And Ghino just mentioned Jackson breaks the barrier. Then, how on earth it was still on? "The three of us tried earlier when we arrived, dude. We

"Nathan, please, close your eyes." Ghino smiled at me with a handkerchief in his hand. "What's your deal this time, huh, Ghino?" I smiled back, yet I closed my eyes as he ordered me to. Then, Ghino wrapped the handkerchief around my head. Even tightened the grip of the handkerchief to make sure I could not take a peek at what is going on. "You'll know about it later, Nathan. Be patient." Even if my eyes were covered with a handkerchief, Ghino's smile was undeniable. His too much excitement is all over the tiny space of the room in his apartment. "And don't you dare cheat on me, Nathan. Don't use your werewolf eyes, okay?" "Fine. Should I be feeling the same way you do right now, huh, Ghino?" I smiled back. "Don't. I don't want to ruin the moment. And I almost forgot. Don't use your werewolf senses. It will certainly ruin my surprise gift for you." "Okay, boss. But I can't deny the fact that the entirety of my wolf is feeling excited at the moment, all right? It

"What so special about those two anyway? I mean, how on earth they could create such a powerful barrier without any help from a witch, mage, sorcerer or anyone who can cast dark magic?" None of them showed their surprised faces about it. Perhaps all their pack members were aware of them already. Why am I not? "I didn't know you are fond of watching those kinds of movies, Nathan. What movies have you watched already? The Originals? Teen Wolf? Or Sabrina?" Jackson burst out laughing as he studied the inevitable seriousness on my face. "Wait... Are those too existed in the world?" Then he set those jars of mountain ash and wolfsbane below his foot as he grabbed his phone. Ghino stealth a glimpse at the rearview mirror heading to Jackson's spot. "Werewolves existed, dude. So, probably those monsters existed too. They were like us, werewolves, hiding from those human faces who we met every day. Perhaps they were simply waiting for the right time." "But no one answered me wi
