Twilight and Takumi were lying on the couch, watching a movie.“Are you ok?” He asked.“Why?”“You seem a little sad these days.”“It’s probably boredom.”“Is it possible that you’re homesick? I remember reading somewhere that wolves are social animals.”“I do miss home.”“I’m not trying to chase you away, but why don’t you go back?”“I can’t shift yet.”“I can take you.”“How?”“I’ll come up with something.”“You don’t know where to take me.”“You can give me directions.”“I don’t want to cause you more trouble.”“I don’t mind.”“It’s fine.”“Ok. Have you called your dad?”“With what phone?”“The same you always pass by in the kitchen. You also could’ve asked to use mine. Why does it feel like you’re trying to come up with excuses?”“I’m not.”“I don’t believe you.”“Then that’s a you-problem.” She snapped.She tried to get up and leave but he took hold of her wristed.“Wait, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to be pushy, but I’ll stop.”She sat down and was quiet for a while.“I don’t know i

“Twilight...”“...”“Twilight...”“Mmm.”“Other half, stop ignoring me and get your lazy ass up! It's already 11 a.m!”“What the... Tis?”“Uh duh. As far as I'm concerned, I'm your only wolf.”“Yeah yeah yeah, where have you been? I thought I lost you forever. That or you decided to be a bitch and ignore me.”“It was a little bit of the second option, but I was just resting. It took a while for me to heal and get back to full strength.”“Wait, when did you get back?”“Last night. I would have said something, but I didn't because you seemed a little preoccupied with dear future husband. I didn't have the heart to disturb you two. But I would have if you went any further. This wolf ain't ready to be a mama wolf yet.”“It's not what you think.”“Where have I heard that before?” Tis rolled her eyes.“It's... I don't... I...”“Honey, we talked about this. Think about your words carefully before you speak.”“I don't know if I like him like that.”“Quick question. Can you die from constipat

“Takumi, honey, who is this young lady?” His mom asked. “And this gentleman?”Twilight silently thanked the Moon Goddess that she wasn't wearing her pyjamas was instead jeans and a hoodie.“Mom. Dad. This is Twilight and this is her dad, Mr Sakata.”“Son, is there a reason why they're both here? Did you do something we should know about?” His dad had a serious look on his face.“No no no, she's just a very small friend who's tutoring me. Her dad dropped her off and I invited him in for a bit.”“Speaking of, I should get going.” Twilight's dad got up. “Call me when you're done.”“Ok, Papa.”“It was a pleasure meeting you, Mr and Mrs Rengoku.” They nodded.“But honey, your grades are already good. Why would you need a tutor?”“I know, but I just want to be sure I get a scholarship to a good university. It's never too early to prepare for my future.”“That's my boy, working hard like your old man.”“Right.” His mom knew that something wasn't right. “Well, as long as she's not your girlfr

“Don't let him fool you. We have pillows in the middle as a barrier.”“Too bad but maybe it's a good thing. Taking care of you was bad enough, I'm not ready to handle mini versions of you.”“You got that right. No offence, Princess, but you were a little monster. Sometimes I wondered if you were the devil himself.”“Takeshi!”“What?”“Don't you have somewhere else to be?”“Fine, I'm going. Please don't devour my soul.”“You don't have to worry about that happening. If you think I'm bad, he's worse. I don't want to deal with mini versions of him.”“By the way, how come Takeshi always calls you princess?” Takumi asked. “I've never heard him call you anything else. And wouldn't your dad be the one calling you that?”“Oh, she didn't tell you?” Kaido asked. “That's because she is one. Her father is the wolf emperor. So, it's natural for him to refer to her that way.”“Yeah, even though I keep telling him that he doesn't have to, but he insists on it anyway. I'm not into formalities or hono

It was the next morning when Takumi woke up. He carefully got up so he wouldn't wake her up. When he was ready for school, he kissed her forehead before leaving. For a moment there, he thought he saw a smile on her face.She woke up to someone stroking her hair. She was lying down, her head resting on Takumi's lap. She turned to face him without getting up.“How long was I out?” She asked while rubbing the sleep from her eyes.“The whole day. It's almost five.”“I don't feel like going to work tomorrow.”“Maybe you should. It might help you take your mind off things.”“Maybe. But I should eat first before deciding on anything. I think it's your turn to cook.”“On it.”They ate in silence; she was still obviously bothered by what had happened. When they were getting ready for bed, Takumi came up to her. He cupped her face and kissed her. She gave him a confused look.“For someone so smart, you can be a real idiot sometimes.” He kissed her forehead, “You never listen to me...” Then her
