"I don't understand," Ericka said. "If Irwin helps people like us so much, how come he's never been found out? I mean, by other werewolves, or vampires, or whatever.""Hmm, I guess it's because of his grandfather, too," Liam said casually. "Have you ever been told that his grandfather had a relationship with a witch in the past? I think their relationship was so deep that the witch taught him spells, or maybe potions, or ingredients that were useful in life.""Like the hex bag Irwin gave me," Ericka said. "He said that when I'm not with you, I should carry it with me whenever I leave this apartment.""I don't know if it's as useful as he says, but there's no harm in following his advice, right?" Liam said with a smile. "It's small enough to fit in a bag or pocket."Ericka nodded. "Well, I'm not superstitious, but ever since I found out about you, it seems like there are a lot of impossible things I should start believing in."Liam laughed and flicked Ericka's forehead gently."I think

"You can just order it online," Liam said. "I probably can't accompany you to buy it, and I don't want you to go alone," Liam said. His brow furrowed in displeasure.Ericka was stunned."But, for these items, I have to see the pattern myself," Ericka said quietly. "I can't disappoint a client because what she wants isn't what she wants."She stared at the pattern of the fabric one of her clients in the Netherlands wanted her to send there.The client wanted the exact same item she had sent Ericka because she had bought it once during her visit to America and wanted to buy it again.Liam thought. He was genuinely worried about Ericka and didn't want her to be alone, even with the hex bag Irwin had made.He'd taken the initiative to do everything for Ericka so she wouldn't have to go anywhere, but it turned out that wasn't always possible. Still, there were some things Ericka should do herself.The problem was, what Ericka needed to find and buy now was something only available at the b

Irwin opened the door."You?"Altman took off his mask and hat, looked around, then pushed open the door, which Irwin was holding, and hurried in."Why are you here?" Irwin asked, making sure the door was locked securely. "You broke the agreement!""I know," Altman replied, flopping onto the sofa and fanning himself. "Give me some water. Gosh, I'm so tired. Being human is such a pain sometimes.""You chose this path," Irwin said with a sneer. He went to the kitchen and poured mineral water from the pitcher into a glass and handed it to Altman, who drank it down."Now tell me, why are you here?" Irwin asked. "You're supposed to remain invisible, as an agent.""Leave that aside," Altman said impatiently. "It's about one of the residents. Ericka!""Hm?" Irwin's eyebrows raised. "It has to do with that jerk of an ex-boyfriend, right?" Altman nodded. "You knew that man was looking for Ericka?""Of course I did," Irwin said with a sigh. "My Alpha son would have been itching to tear that ma

Ericka trembled. Old Bernard showed her the minimarket's CCTV footage, and it was clear that the man and woman who had entered the minimarket while Ericka was hiding in the back room were Daniel and Emmie."Wait here until Liam comes to pick you up," Old Bernard said. "Who knows, those people might still be around.""Liam's not home," Ericka said. "I knocked on his door before I came here, but he didn't answer.""Where did he go?" Old Bernard muttered. "Was it a full moon last night?""No, not at all," Ericka said. "Why?""If it were a normal full moon night, he would transform, but only at the height of the night, and it wouldn't last long and wouldn't cause him any pain, but he would still be exhausted and sleep for a long time afterward," Old Bernard said."He probably went somewhere," Ericka said, distraught. "His phone's also off."Old Bernard slammed the counter, startling Ericka. The man stared at Ericka with an annoyed expression."And you, why didn't you bring the hex bag Ir

"We've been here before," Emmie said, looking around. "There! That apartment! We passed it twice before, until we finally stopped at that crappy convenience store and the owner told us we had the wrong address.""But that weird detective gave us directions, and it led back here?" Daniel asked, confused. "Look around Green Hills and look for anything related to the color purple.""Everything in this area is called Green Hills," Emmie muttered, confused. "This is Green Harley Hills. Over there is Green Hills, next to that is Green Eagles Hills, and there's Green Heart Hills. Where should we even start looking?"Daniel scratched his head. "Damn! I don't think that old Alkon is as great as you say, Emmie.""Shut up, Daniel, don't swear. You'll regret it if he gets mad at you. I told you he's great," Emmie said, annoyed. "And you heard what he said, right, that he saw a vision of a woman like Ericka in this area.""And what about the man you said was Ericka's boyfriend?" Daniel asked scorn
