Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf 24: Hit you where it Hurts
"What's with your get up? What are you doing in front of my room?" I've been told I need to consider others' feelings more. That I have to realize I'm not an island who's living alone in this world. We have to co-exist because we were programmed to do so. As soon as night struck, my investigation started. The cat can kill me for my curiosity but assumingly, maybe, Hayley's father was Tyler. It was possible, Tyler said he loved his mate and even created a tomb solely for her because even if he told his gamma he wasn't waiting for her return, there’s a part of his that's still connected with her. And so he's trying to find her through me. He's using me. And it's a win-win, I think. This was what I want, I keep on reminding myself. I borrowed black pumps from Tiffany and wore black slacks partnered with a shirt and a long brown coat, I partnered it with a newsboy hat and binoculars I found on the storage shelf. "I'm doing my duty, trying to investigate," I said blandly, I put down
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 25: Hold On!
"I'm Neneuis, nice to finally meet you, Harriet." I stared at her offered hand with my mouth slightly open. She's the girl; she wore a black tennis skirt, cropped long-sleeve black shirt with a red tie, black manicured hands, black biker pumps with a thigh belt, her hair was black and was in a boyish cut, her filled dark eyeshadow cat eyes and black lips screamed memento mori:She's the kind of girl that stare right into your eyes and remind you that you must die. And if I accept her handshake, I feel like I'm accepting her reminder. My eyes went round when I looked at her."Grim Reaper!" I pointed and almost jumped to my place when the hands of death held her shoulder. I covered my mouth with my hands and bowed in embarrassment. "I'm sorry." "It's okay. This is Lukas, not the grim reaper," Neneuis snickered. I feel my face flush and turned to Tiffany for help. She flew her hands around me and fa
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 26: Claw Marks
"Who killed him?" Like the water in the ocean, no one can fathom how much was there, no one knows how deep is the ocean: I've read that we only know about two percent. That's too little but I feel safe to know about that, we don't know what we're going to see once we have known the ninety-eight percent. I bet it's going to be the end of the world then. Michael’s a friend to me, though lately, I doubt if it stayed like that. He likes me, romantically and tried to take advantage of me. The last time I had a conversation with him was shaky, I refused to talk to him and he respected my decision, the last time we had was nothing but brief: when he directs me with the transferees. He claimed they weren't normal people but I found out that my classmates think of them as one. "Not normal? What are you talking about Harriet? They're like us!" My forehead formed in a line and held the railing of the stairs for support. Policemen arrived o
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 27: Neneuis' Trick
For a second, I thought I'm being haunted in the school, but whenever I turned and looked around, I didn't see anyone suspicious. At lunch, the school body gave their sympathy through the speakers. I was sitting alone in the cafeteria, eating a bowl of creamy vegetable salad when a hand slammed on my table. I was forced to look up and saw Neneuis grinning at me. "How do you like my present?" I believe what she's specifying was her helicone gift I put on my nightstand. I put my spoon down and smiled also. "Yes. Thank you." Though I already said my thanks, why was she still bringing it up now? "You did? That's so awesome." She moved back and swatted the grim reaper beside her in the stomach. There's also the girl and the boy who picked flowers. The next thing I knew, Neneuis and her friends sat also at the table. Neneuis put her elbows on the flat surfaced and batted her eyelashes. "So, where's Beta and h
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 28: Nightwatch
Genevieve's lips were full and voluptuous as ever. Her beach-curly hair made it look like she had just gone out to the salon. Her cinch waist, big breasts, and booty were like a cartoon character figure. Others wished to have. But I'm not like other girls, I'm okay with my figure right now, not too fat, but also not too thin to easily get tackled to a car when kidnapped. "What are you doing here?" She gave up acting like a good mother and put her hand on her hips. She raised a brow and gave me an elevator look. "I lived here, you? What are you doing here?" I remember the time Richard got frustrated with her, and water sprinkled through her face. She was a laughingstock for a second, and I still couldn't help but laugh when I remembered her clown-like face. I don't need to answer her question because Richard pops up and snakes his arm automatically to her waist. "She's going to stay with us, darling." The first thing I noticed wa
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 29: Annoying Friend
He was caught off guard. After what he did, I can't fully trust him. Richard dropped his fork to his plate and raised his chin. I never imagined having breakfast at the same table with the antagonists of my life. I just found out that Ashton moved out and rent a dorm, Andrea dropped out and was MIA to Richard and Genevieve. I thought that maybe they agreed to let me stay here as Nancy said to fill the gap of having children, after all, it's nice to have teens around but I'm not the one to believe that. Teens are a pain as much as children do, and I would bet the only money in my pocket that they wouldn't wished for me to stay here. I don't like children, I don't plan on having my own suffer from this sick world. I hope that every parent thinks about that when doing coitus. I hope my mother and my unknown father thought about that before they have me. "You're quiet today Harriet, is there a problem? Don't you like the steak I ordered?" Richard said. I looked at the chewy steak
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 30: Who Killed Him?
Arnold and I came together to school. As we were walking through the gaze, the sharp look of Danisha standing on the side made me part my lips slightly, I tugged on Arnold's sleeve and caught his attention. "We have history class after lunch. Let's talk then. Make sure you have evidence." I gritted my teeth as I felt another batch of eyes staring at us. There were other students on the school grounds, but the two sets of eyes watching us stand out more than the others. Arnold agreed, and we parted ways to the hallways of the school. He headed to the lockers while I headed to the classroom.We made a team, and though even I couldn't believe how could I easily trust someone again, I did. It seems like the only one I couldn't trust again was Richard. He proved that his family owned a funeral home by introducing me to his family. It was an accident, and his father barged in and saw us, and without much preparation, I met another family again. Arnold has the advantage over my problem,
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 31: 'I'
They say history repeats itself. The last time I checked, Tyler was a beta who's supposed to be promoted as an alpha, not god. Tyler keeps on talking with his hand in sync but the words he utter was still gibberish to me. I now saw him face to face but my mind keeps on swirling around the idea that we accidentally kissed. "Harriet, Harriet." He snapped his fingers and I blinked repeatedly before he put his hand down. "Yes, what were you saying?" I controlled my breathing and focused on his eyes. "Is something wrong?" he asked, forehead creased. I shook my head. "No, nothing, of course everything's fine, just...," I searched for the right words to hide my embarrassment but ended up finding nothing, "can you repeat what you're saying?" I just wanted the ground to open and swallow me whole, it seemed like all I could do was get embarassed in front of him."I found the real killer. You don't have to ask for Arnold's help, Harriet." His shoulder tensed and his face got a little sour

Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Epilogue (Part 2)
Ahhh…I should just choose to stay in the town where I was raised, in the house of my father, and watched Priti grow, I want to say to everyone that I’m honored to have her as a sister. I should just forget about the wolves and didn’t force to see the ending, who was my real parents, and why Artha steal me from my birth mother. I shouldn’t stay curious, I should just stay silent and uphold my peace. Then, I wouldn’t have to witness a fire, and blood spilled in the air, if only I didn’t get angry and pursued revenge on my father, I wouldn’t have had to meet the legendary wolf. Maybe that’s his reason all along. He wanted me to stay by his side until he found my birth mother. He had to lie about his love story and keep secrets from me, and on the paper, I saw his name signed aside from the blank that I needed to sign. It just meant that he now let me become his neighbor. That was ironic. The house burned down, and I almost lived in his mansion for how long, it’s a pity that it was b
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Epilogue (Part 1)
Just like any other movie or story – it must end. The bad guy finally sprouted like a mushroom, I conversed with him, he plotted murder, and he was so ugly. Because of my coercion, he took me on his journey, with the help of others of course, Lea was pushing my wheelchair while Azi and Neneuis were on my side, and Blake and Tyler lead the way. “It’s not like I’m doing this for you. That idiot brother of Tyler killed someone close to me too.” Neneuis made clear while they were walking to enter the forest, I’m wheelchair-bound for the rest of my life, so Lea just wheeled me. “You’re pertaining to Lukas, right?” I replied, confident that she was talking about him because there’s only him, right?Neneuis smirked. “Not entirely, I’m doing this for myself also,” she said, then walked past us. Her outfit was back to the emo girl that I first met, she was wearing a black square-neck sleeveless blouse tucked in a brown wrap-around skirt and a black belt hugging her legs, because of her sh

They knew… I returned to the room acting so scared and so cold, I fear for my future all of a sudden. They need to have a valuable reason why they didn’t tell me about my mother or else… Or else I’ll be seriously mad. I came back to bed with so many thoughts in my head and a heavy heart. It’s not that I don’t know they’ve been hiding secrets, I know, it’s not like a person can live without hiding secrets from anyone, I believed we have three faces, and that also comes with secrets, we have private secrets, secrets we only knew, like for example in our body, I have three moles in my back, and I can be naughty at home, and be friendly and shy at school. There were secrets we could not tell everyone, that’s just part of life and I respect that. But I didn’t know the secrets they hold were deeper than a well on a hot spring. I didn’t know it held the truth in me. They know who my birth parents were. I’m anticipating to know, yet I also don’t want to know. My other problem, on Phi
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 90: Vendetta
I was blind. I knew there was something behind his force smile, and his gestures, and all. But who am I not to pull on security when I don’t know what to believe. Am I going to trust him or his brother? Who’s telling the truth? Of course, the rational sense to believe on someone was with Tyler, I should’ve believed in him and maybe the night won’t end so bland, I enjoyed the longest time with him, and I’m happy and at peace compared to his brother who I just met, he said he lurks in the shadows and have a creepy conversation with me at one moment, it sure gives me a warning sign and I almost believed in him. But who am I to believe Tyler was the one killing my friends? He clearly denied it and I wanted to believe him so bad but I couldn’t agree with him at that night, there’s a voice saying I should not, obviously part of that was the last words of Lukas. “Harriet, whatever his brother said to you, believe him.” What kind of sentence was that? Why does it have a double meaning
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 89: Trusting You
I tried to asked him what he meant but he closes his eyes and I froze, that’s it? I leaned down to his chest but I didn’t feel a heartbeat, I wiped the tears from the back of my hand, I’m not disappointed, I just realized that this was more painful than learning your mother had died. In this, I witnessed him catch his last breath, he told me his last word, I was with him just a moment ago, why did it have to happen like this? Then I remember, the headlights that focused on us, my tears-stricken face turned around, the smoke and mist lights up from the headlights, dusts and particles made me realize that it was cold and it was night, no one’s supposed to be roaming around, but me, and the one who killed Lukas. I narrowed my eyes and focused onto the man who was on the car, like me, he was also frozen on his seat, I stood up and step forward, trying to recognize who was he. The road ends up at the beginning of the alleyway, it was a dead end here, if he did not purposedly drive on
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 88: No One's Getting Killed
My unexpected visit to my stepfather ended. The sky was getting dark when we reached outside. Now for the problem… “We don’t have a place to stay.” I sighed, feeling the warmth the air has blown opposite us. “We can go our separate ways and find a place,” Lukas suggested. I stared at him long enough to think that I’m positive he wouldn’t get killed, because Tyler’s brother was wrong, Lukas lost his memories, and Tyler wouldn’t kill someone with the same breed as his. No one’s getting killed, why am I so convinced and calm at the fact that Tyler was killing my friends? No one’s getting killed, I repeated. Tyler’s brother was wrong. I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply. “Okay,” I agreed to what Lukas suggested, so he flew away while I watched his back disappear, I was about to walk on to the opposite direction too, but someone called my name again. My father has three footsteps now, but that made him more of a slow-walker—sign of aging. “Harriet, I forgot to give you this,” my stepfa
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 87: My Stepfather
The man has a wooden crane with a gold head of an eagle that speaks of how he became rich after he banished all his children. Was this really what it’s like to be a grown-up? You’re just suddenly tired from all the drama because it seems that it only repeats; it’s a life cycle, after the happiness, comes sadness, then happiness again then sadness, over and over, until you’re worn out until you question everything if it’s worth it until you couldn’t care less if someone leaves or dies. Life’s becoming dreadful for me, but to the man in front of me, it was the opposite, I can say that he doesn’t miss his children one bit. I’m not jealous of Priti and Genevieve. As much as I don’t like it, he married her and has a baby. Priti deserves the thing that we, his children, didn’t taste. At least give Priti a father that won’t leave when the mother dies, give her all that you can, and never lie to her. “Hey, you looked pale.” Lukas nudged me,
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 86: Pretty Flowers
My plan was after Lukas and I left the place of the wolves and came back to the town where I really belong was to hunt down for a place to stay. But I’m with someone who has lost his memory, and the gazes of people as they passed by us irks me. It was still fresh on them, that I lost my mom and rebel and came to the woods and I met the legendary wolf. I was fiddling with the online cash I had with my phone when Lukas tugged the hem of my sleeves. “Let’s eat something.” I stared at Lukas. It was on cue that his stomach grumbled, so I gave in. I fished my wallet and was about to head to a café, but then I remembered, they’re the type of wolves that eat fresh meat. “What? Why? Aren’t we eating?” “Yes,” I faced the direction of the supermarket instead, “let’s go buy some fresh meat,” I declared and started walking, but the guy with me didn’t even take a step. “I’m okay with just waffles, what you eat.” But the guilt in me resided, I turned to face him again and remembered that h
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 85: Apology
“Harriet, we’re sorry we’ve done something bad to you.” It was late in the afternoon, and we have just returned from the psychiatric hospital, I was about to swerve and go to Joshua’s place when I reached the house of Neneuis and others, his house was just behind them but Azi and Lea showed up in the front porch and approached me. I was with Joshua all day, so I turned to him with utmost confusion. He just shrugged and motioned Blake and Tyler to emerge from the door. “Harriet, are you okay?” Blake sounded so worried, he was in his guy form, I guess his feeling guilty because earlier, at dawn, when I met him with his second form – Tiffany, she was so elegant like she just went to a party with the elites, turned out it was true, I learned that because her tongue slipped when she saw me with Joshua at breakfast, she was with Tyler, and they attend a charity ball along with other businessmen, and she tagged along as his date. I’m not mad or jealous, in fact, I’m relieved that the gir
