★[Freya's POV]★As I walked through the door of my apartment, my mind was still buzzing with the memory of Mr. Richards' kiss. It was unexpected, but it felt so right. I couldn't shake the feeling that there was something between us, something that went beyond the professional relationship we had always maintained.I sat down on the couch and replayed the moment in my head. The way his lips had felt against mine, the way his hand had cupped my cheek. It was like nothing I had ever experienced before.But as much as I was enjoying the memory, there was a nagging doubt at the back of my mind. What if I was just reading too much into it? What if Mr. Richards had just been caught up in the moment, with no real interest in me?I shook my head, trying to dispel the doubts. There was no denying the chemistry between us, the way we had always seemed to gravitate toward each other. And now that we had finally crossed that line, there was no going back.But what did that mean for our working re
★[Fergus POV]★As soon as we stepped through the door, I headed straight to the kitchen to fix Jayden something to eat. He'd been out all day, and I knew he must be starving. While I rummaged through the fridge for ingredients, he told me about his afternoon at the old park house."I was just sitting there, minding my own business, when I saw this guy walking towards me," Jayden said, his voice low and serious. "He had this look on his face, like he was ready to fight or something. So I got up and started walking away, but he just kept following me."I frowned, putting together a sandwich for Jayden. "Did you try talking to him? Maybe he just wanted to ask you something."Jayden shook his head vehemently. "No way, man. He was looking at me like he wanted to hurt me. I didn't want to take any chances."I finished the sandwich and handed it to him, watching as he took a huge bite. He chewed thoughtfully, then swallowed and continued his story. "So I started running, and he chased me. I
★[Freya's POV]★I was alone in the room, and my mind began to wander, replaying all the recent events that had happened to me. The stress and anxiety that had been building up inside me seemed to intensify with each passing moment. Suddenly, an idea came to mind, and I felt an urge to visit the woods.The image of the werewolf that I had seen a few days ago flashed in my mind. Despite the fear that I felt, there was something inexplicably alluring about the idea of facing my fears and returning to that place. It was as if the woods held some sort of power over me, drawing me in with an almost magnetic force.I hesitated for a moment, wondering if it was a wise decision to go alone. But in the end, my curiosity got the better of me, and I set off towards the woods. As I walked, I couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and apprehension, unsure of what I might find within the dark and mysterious forest. I sneaked out of the house and headed for the woods and it was when I got out
★[Freya's POV]★Immediately I arrived at my workplace, my boss Mr. Richards asked me to come over to his office and I was only anticipating what he might want to talk to me about. As I walked towards Mr. Richards' office, my heart started racing with anticipation and a bit of nervousness. I wondered what he could want to talk to me about. Was I in trouble? Did I do something wrong? Or was it something positive, like a promotion or a raise?When I reached his door, I took a deep breath and knocked softly. "Come in," I heard him say from inside.I opened the door and stepped into his office. Mr. Richards was sitting behind his desk, his eyes glued to his computer screen. He looked up as I entered and motioned for me to take a seat in front of him."Good morning, Sarah," he said, his voice calm and professional. "I wanted to talk to you about the project you've been working on."My heart sank a little. The project had been a challenging one, and I had been putting in long hours to
★[Fergus POV]★Later in the day, I was called by Jayden, who is the boy I helped to stay at my house and when I got to his room, he opened up to me about some misery he knew about the old park house. As I walked into Jayden's room, I could tell he was visibly distressed. He gestured for me to take a seat, and I obliged, sitting down on the edge of his bed. He then proceeded to tell me about a tragic incident that had occurred in the old park house, a place that we had both heard countless spooky stories about.According to Jayden, a family of four had lived in the house many years ago. One day, the parents went out leaving their two young children behind. When they returned, they found the children brutally murdered, their bodies lying lifeless in their beds. The culprit was never caught, and the house had been abandoned ever since.As he spoke, I couldn't help but feel a shiver run down my spine. The story was terrifying, but something about Jayden's delivery made it all the mo
★[Freya's POV]★As I arrived at work, I was filled with life and energy, as I intend to talk to Emily about the date I and her brother Mr. Richards went on last night and also to see her reaction toward the news. As I walked into the office, I couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. I was eager to see Emily, my friend and colleague, and tell her all about my date with her brother, Mr. Richards. I felt a bit nervous, too, wondering how she would react to the news.I spotted Emily at her desk and made my way over to her. She looked up and smiled when she saw me, but I could sense that something was off. "Hey, Emily," I said, trying to sound casual. "How was your weekend?""It was fine," she replied, her tone a bit subdued.I took a deep breath and decided to dive right in. "So, I went on a date with your brother last night," I said, my words tumbling out in a rush.Emily's eyes widened in surprise. "Really? How was it?""It was great," I said, grinning from ear to ear. "We h
★[Fergus POV]★I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that settled deep in my gut. Jayden had seemed so normal, so human. I had never suspected that he could be anything other than what he appeared to be. But now, knowing that he was a werewolf like me, it was like a veil had been lifted, revealing a whole new layer to him that I had never seen before.I wondered what else I had missed. Had there been any other werewolves in my life that I had failed to notice? It was a troubling thought, and I couldn't help but feel a little paranoid. What if there were others, watching me, studying me, waiting for the right moment to reveal themselves?I shook my head, trying to dispel the dark thoughts that threatened to overwhelm me. It wasn't productive to dwell on what-ifs and maybes. What mattered now was figuring out what to do about Jayden. I had invited him into my home, but now I knew he was a werewolf, and that changed everything.I got up from the couch and walked to the window, gazin
★[Fergus POV]★As I and Morpheus arrived at the pack house, we sat down at the table of decisions, I sent a message to every elder of the pack, that I have captured Bethany and we needed to discuss what her judgment would be, because she has been a big threat to the pack for quite some time. As I hit send on the message, I leaned back in my chair, my mind racing with thoughts of what might happen next. Bethany had been causing trouble for the pack for a long time, and I knew that capturing her would be a controversial move. But as alpha, it was my responsibility to protect my people.I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction as I looked at the ropes binding Bethany's wrists and ankles. She struggled against them, snarling and snapping her teeth, but I knew that she was no match for me.I stood up from my chair and walked over to her, towering over her as she glared up at me. "You've caused a lot of problems for us, Bethany," I said, my voice low and steady. "It's time for
