Unknown POV

Splendid! Things are slowly developing in the right course. Surprisingly, not much effort was needed from me. I wonder why there is any disparity between the dwellers of this universe. Beast or human, they are all the same. They have the same desires.

The love of power and wealth. The desire to possess unfathomable power and accumulate a ridiculous amount of wealth. It is both amusing and somewhat, pitiful.

It amuses me because it is the same weakness among humans and supernatural beings alike. Even more so because it has been the same from days of yore.

I feel pitiful because greed has always been their downfall as well. That dates back to those who passed before them. So, I pity their lack of either foresight or hindsight.

It is as if they never learn that it is an unattainable and lofty goal. No one can attain such tremendous power and wealth and still hold on to their humanity. Wealth and power only corrode the conscience and corrupt the mind.

But hey, who am I to w

    AriaIt breaks my heart every time I see the big black wolf lying motionlessly on the bed. I can sense that he has no desire to return to reality any time soon.Unfortunately, I seem to be the only one who can see through his deceit. Everyone else believes that he is unconscious. However, I cannot be fooled. My master taught me all these breathing techniques a while ago. Since he has decided to guilt trip everyone, I intend to see how long he can hold up. Of course, I am not going to be villainous and expose him. To a certain extent, I am quite amused by his shamelessness. The size of his wolf and the antiques he's playing are just hilarious.

    Manny"You darned sly fox, you! How dare you turn back and hug me whilst naked? If I don't beat you up today, then my name is not Aria!"She screams the moment she realizes I am naked. Aria throws a pillow at my face as she moves away backwards. She bps into my mum and gasps. Then her face turns beet red in shame. I am not sure what she is thinking, but I guess she is wondering what time they got in here and how much they saw. I look straight into her eyes and wink. Her temper flares again and she rushes towards me and starts punching me in my chest. I can tell that she is not exerting her full strength at all. From the corner of my eyes, I see my family retreat and close the door. I mindlink my mum to get me something to eat. After they go out, I grab my little mate's hands and I cannot help but gaze at her beauty."I am sorry love, can I get up now and take a shower and possibly change?

    AriaWhat the heck am I hearing? Does this foolish mutt want to imprison me? For what? I cannot help the self-deprecating smile that creeps onto my face. I wonder what happened to him in the bathroom. To think that I was here talking about accepting him. I just called his parents and the elders to explain to them why it might take a while for me. I just wanted to let them know that I have decided to befriend Manny.For a person like me, that is a huge sacrifice. I prefer to be alone. I detest attachments. Hence, proposing a friendship is quite a huge step for me. Here he is out for my blood. What exactly happened to him in that bathroom?Truth be told, I am feeling somewhat, hurt by his actions. It is quite a foreign feeling for me. I have not felt anything for anyone else in a long time and this is the first. Well, I do not blame him. I blame myself for letting my guard down.

I can use this time to gather enough information on them as possible. The reason why I am in this place is not even sensible at all. It has made me believe that there must be something unnatural happening to Manny. I am not a superstitious person but I think I have become a believer now.Who would not, in my situation? Firstly, we move thousands of miles away, only to land in the heart of supernatural beings. If that is not enough for anyone to believe, then wouldn't I be considered utterly lost?According to the little knowledge I have on werewolves, a mate can never hurt their other half.
