"I have no idea." My feet were still trembling as I tried to find an answer but I couldn't. All I knew was he stopped moving and that was it.He walked back towards me with glaring eyes he almost imprisoned my shoulders again but I bowed my head to avoid his huge hands then I moved my back away from the wall 'till I was already standing behind him.He turned his gaze at me with brows crossed. "Now you're trying to impress me," he said sarcastically."I'm not, but I'm glad you're impressed." I puffed a breath, finally gathering my power to speak back. "Barely." He rolled his eyes.I rolled mine too. "Why are you acting strange anyway? I mean clearly, you almost killed me with your hands.""Why do you think huh? Clearly, you're not learning your lessons; always late, always irresponsible, always nosy around--- stubborn," he groaned. "You need to know when to act like a child and when to act like a Goddamn responsible werewolf!" His fingers stroke his messy hair. "You're gonna die early

I was so conscious while eating pasta as I could feel Gonzalo and Fenris watching me like I was some kind of television. I looked at Fenris and he avoided my gaze, pretending he wasn't staring. I rolled my eyes before looking at Gonzalo who raised his right brow at me with a smirk on his lips.I looked back at my finally emptied plate. I sipped on my wine, wondering about the Shadow Ripper and all the weird, creepy stuff I heard while gossiping a while ago."Who cooked the pasta? You?" I asked Gonzalo to ease the loud silence."Yeah. It's good, isn't it?" "Don't take the credits from me." Fenris rolled his eyes. "I cooked that."Gonzalo playfully chuckled. "I'm trying to impress her. Why ruin it?" "She's my fiancé. You shouldn't impress what's mine." Fenris glanced at me.My face heated. I looked down, hiding my burning cheeks. For sure, they were blushing red as I could feel my face almost like exploding.Gonzalo laughed teasingly. "Oh, she's blushing. Congrats, you impressed her."

My lips were parted throughout as Fenris toured me around their mansion. I couldn't stop looking up at the high ceiling and around the corners with every huge room door.He explained to me some important rooms that I shouldn't dare to open and some rooms that were owned specifically by his family.A sigh of relief escaped from my mouth as he mentioned his mother wasn't around. As much as I wanted to be ready, I couldn't stop myself from getting intimidated by all the shiny things I was witnessing. I was anxious, afraid to be belittled by his mom. I was hoping that wouldn't be the case."This is amazing." My eyes glittered at Fenris as we continued roaming around. "I mean, this is much bigger than your mansion in California."Fenris just smiled at me. He looked patient now compared to his face way back in my country."There are so many rooms." I touched the silky door that we passed by. "Your family members must be so many."He shrugged. "It's not only my family members that live here.

I covered my boobs with my arms while I was already right in front of him, soaking in the middle of the pool. I still wasn't comfortable with him seeing my whole naked body. The side of his lips rose when he looked at my arms on my boob part. He shook his head, smirking."What's funny?" My brows crossed."What do you mean funny? Am I laughing?" He raised his right brow."You're smirking," I pointed out.He shrugged and didn't utter a word. He just stared at me. Luckily, my thigh part was under the deep water so he wouldn't be able to see it. My boobs were just my problem; I didn't want him to judge them. "Can you at least give me a heads-up?" I puffed a breath, escaping the awkward silence. "How many rituals are we gonna do before the wedding?" "I don't wanna spoil you." He shrugged. I splashed water on his face. "You should! I deserve to know if my life is gonna be at risk on whatever your werewolf rituals are or whatsoever.""You're safe, Kira." He tapped my head like a dog. "Un

When we arrived back at their mansion, we went straight to our room. A sigh of relief escaped my mouth when I didn't bump into any of his family. I still wasn't ready to meet them all. The pressure was getting too high that it was sharpening the stones on my chest. Rollina, his fling or whatsoever insulted me. I was afraid his family would do the same.I was laying on our huge bed, staring at the white ceiling like it was a nowhere but white hole. Fenris left me alone and I couldn't be more anxious. The room was too big for me and it just felt like the quiet surrounding was succumbing to me.He told me to sleep as I need it before our fire ritual but my mind was too awake, overthinking scenarios of how could I possibly die in this adventure I got myself in. I never expected I would meet vampires, werewolves, and sorcerers in my whole existence. What more could I possibly witness in the mysterious world I was in? "Hey, Kira, did you sleep well?" Fenris asked when he finally came back
