"I saw you left work early today. Are you alright?" Cindy asked, hanging her scarf and coat on the peg."I was just tired, so I took a leave to rest. Anyway, I'm fine now. I'm going for the night shift," I replied, standing up from my bed. I just had a power nap."Are you sure you're alright?" Cindy asked, taking a book from the shelves and lounging on her bed. "That man at the bar seems so worried about you.""Don't think about it. He's just a new friend. I should take a shower first, then I'm leaving the room to you.""Okay," she said, her face already buried in the book.I went to the bathroom and took a shower. I really didn't expect to meet another werewolf in this city. I thought every one of them was afraid of humans; that's why they stay away from crowded places. Now I realize there are some who are in a similar situation to me.I put on my barmaid uniform and left the boarding house. Tonight I'm working from 7:00PM to 3:00AM. I don't usually go on a

It was already 9:30 AM on the wall clock when I woke up. There's only a week before the next full moon. I know I have to get ready. I have to stay away from everyone, especially from the ones who are important to me, during the full moon, or it'd bring them into danger.About what happened last night, I hope Ethan got home safe. He might be a little bit pushy, like he wants to get close to me despite the fact that he already has a fiancée. But he's the only kin I know in this city. It's better to get in touch with him.I pulled out his calling card from the pocket of my jeans. I don't have a phone right now, so I can't send him a message asking if he's alright. I'm almost empty-handed. But I got the money I'd won from the casino. I should use it to buy the things I need. I heard my stomach grumble. I should go grab something to eat first.Cindy's not in the room anymore. She didn't wake me up when she left. I don't really care whatever she's doing or wherever she is right now. She's a

"Finally!" I exclaimed, raising my arms and stretching them a little bit. The customers have left the bar already. Theo and Cindy seemed to have other plans too. They might be dating in private. That sneaky little bitch, did she really think I wouldn't notice? I gathered my things up, changed my clothes, and went outside. As I stepped out the door, I noticed a man sitting on the bench under the streetlight. He looks familiar: broad shoulders, short black hair, even though he's not looking at me. He's wearing a black jacket. A chill wind touched my face lightly. The man stood up and turned towards me. "Hey, Aaron, what are you doing here?" I asked, approaching. "I, actually, have been waiting for you to come out," he said, his voice husky from the cold and his hands inside the pocket of his jacket. "I just have something to tell you." "What is it?" I asked, confused why he was showing a serious face. Did he already know I'm pregnant? How did he know? Did someone tell him? He wouldn

Aaron closed his eyes and made a heartfelt wish in silence, and then he blew out the candle. His lips curved into a sweet smile. It's been a while since the last time I saw him this happy. I wish him good health and long-lasting happiness."What did you wish?" I asked."It's a secret," he said."It's okay if you don't want to tell me.""I wish this would be a fresh new start for both of us. I want to forget all the bad things that happened and start over again," he said, slicing the cake. "Please sit down; let's eat.""You prepared a lot of food; wouldn't it be a waste if we were the only ones who ate them? Why won't you invite others to come over?" I suggested."But I want to spend this day alone with you, Tricia," he said."You know, I can't stay here with you. I have to leave before night falls," I said."You don't have to go," he said, putting a small plate of cake on the table in front of me."I already told you. It's dangerous for me to stay here.""I don't think so. Your wolf n

When I woke up, Aaron was all over me. He's not even wearing a shirt. I blushed as I realized I was also naked. I pulled on the bathrobe and covered myself in it. Aaron looks cute despite his age. He had just turned 21. No wonder why I felt something heavy. "Morning, my love," he said in a sleepy tone. I remembered what happened last night. Aaron had transformed into a wolf. I thought I was just imagining things when I saw him like that before. I had to follow him as I thought he'd cause trouble, but then I realized there was no need for that. He was clearly enjoying being a werewolf. Unfortunately, we met Ethan. "Yes, I remember it now," I said, sitting up. Aaron rolled over and lay on his back. "What did you remember, my love?" "Ethan," I said. "Please don't talk about him," Aaron seemed disappointed, or rather jealous. "As your mate, I am commanding you to stay away from him. He's a threat." "What do you mean a threat?" I asked, a little bit confused. "He said he was looking
