Chapter 20 - Present - RyanAfter finishing their breakfast-lunch, Jason and Clarissa went to Jay’s bedroom as he asked for her help to pick something up to wear tonight.He didn't have many options, and everything he had taken with him was mostly old jersey sets to stay at home.“You truly didn't want to come home, based on your clothes pick… did you leave your good stuff at your place to run back to them as fast as you could?” The pink hoodie Clarissa had on her hands was far from pleasing to look at, full of holes and stains that Jason had no idea how it had gotten them, but it was still one of the coziest hoodies that the man had and he preferred to wear it as a pajama than throw it away.“I never meant to stay for so long or join all those events that my Mom and Lily keep throwing at me, they tricked me.” The male’s plans were quite simple: he would stay until the Wolf Moon, the first Full Moon of the year, to avoid complaints from his parents.However, he would stay at home mos

Chapter 22 - Jason“Nice sweater.” To my own surprise, I ended up commenting without thinking, as if my intentions for tonight weren't to avoid Ryan in every single possible way.Of course, I would still need to keep it at the most polite distance that wouldn't affect my Mother in any way.I didn't want to raise any sort of talk about why I was doing so or questions since quite a few people had seen us together with Lorelei a few days ago…So, when I saw him leaving to go upstairs, I felt extra lucky, assuming it would make things easier if he kept his presence with us to the bare minimum.It didn't take long before I engaged in a casual chat with Carol and my parents. Ashton was also close by, but he didn't join us as he talked with someone on his phone before the doorbell rang and he went to welcome the new guests.And upon them joining us, Caroline soon offered everyone a glass of wine as an aperitif to open our appetite before dinner in her words.Pretty much everyone accepted it

Chapter 24 - JasonRyan sat down before me, showing the most annoying smug look one could have on their face, and I hated so much how full of confidence he felt by that action.And the most displeasure thing about it all was how seeing him there took me back in time… took me back years ago as if it was yesterday.“Hey, Jason! Will you want a soda too?” One of the girls with us asked in a more than happy voice, clearly enjoying the chance to hang out with the members of the soccer team.… It wasn't an everyday thing to see all of us hanging out together in the same place…Nothing major had happened on that day, but maybe it was why the couch thought he should spoil us for once after we had won a game against the soccer team from the neighboring town. … either that or the director had finally given in and accepted his request of extra funds for us that he had been asking for since the previous year…Again, as if we were the big winners of the season, he spoiled us with all the pizzas

Chapter 26 - Present - JasonIt wasn’t hard to guess how the mood went completely off after the words said by Jason towards Ryan.He shouldn’t have said directly that he was referring to their friendship, but it was quite obvious for anyone who could think a little bit.There was no other reason why the Werewolf would say that if it wasn’t due to this.… he was setting a very tough boundary between him and the other male…“What do you all think about enjoying our desserts while opening the gifts in the living room?” But it was nothing for someone as Caroline.She had dealt with worse situations before that it was nothing, although she was still quite surprised by the answer that Jason gave to her son.In her head, she had the illusion that he would welcome Ryan back happily with open arms since things didn’t work well the first time they were together.Yes, Mrs. Malone was more than aware about the relationship shared between Ryan and Jason in the past, even if she always pretended to

Chapter 28 - PresentRyan didn’t think much about what he was doing. He just thought it could be all a funny game, nothing too serious that they should talk about later, but he immediately regretted that when he went back to his bedroom.He expected a word or two from the other male, who instead, only pushed him away before leaving, ignoring him, even when Ryan tried to call him back.… and for once, the Human felt very insecure about what he should do next…The only thing Ryan wished for was to make up with Jason, catch up with all the lost years between them, yet his actions only seemed to work towards the opposite direction.Everything he did only seemed to push Jason away from him, more and more each day, and the Human couldn’t exactly figure out why!He was trying to behave in the same way as he used to with Jay, skipping only the kisses, hugs, and the more intimate things part of it.… yet, he had kissed him that night with no hold back…Ryan wasn’t trying to push Jason’s limits,
