Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 39: Awkward Silence
I stared blankly at the night sky and realized there were no twinkling stars after a minute. The sky's empty and sad. I sighed and tried to step onto Tyler’s balcony, I was upset, adrift, and crushed all at once. I thought I’m claiming happiness for a second, I forgot happiness was not for me. “Your mother, Artha, and I only stayed together for a while. Back then, you were already born and I help your mother raise you for a few months until it was bearable for her to raise you alone.” Each word that Aether says felt like a stab wound to my chest, my eyes welled up and I’m sure I was going to cry in front of him. Mom already had me? Then who’s my father?“I didn’t ask for your mother’s back story but she told me your father died before she even know she was pregnant, so she ran away to the forest and build a house here to avoid people’s judging eyes.” I hummed my nervousness and settled by looking down at my lap, my hair’s blocking my face so it was easy for me to let the tears out
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 40: Bloody Hurtful
Everyone around me was having fun. It should've been fun, there’s colorful lights, gifts, and winter cold night. But I stood silent until they all agreed to go to bed. Finally. "Is something wrong?" I put down the magazine I'm pretending I was reading and face Tyler. His face was in it's natural color now, he doesn't look too pale or red like a tomato from being drunk. I shook my head no. "I'm just reading." I flipped through the pages of a fashion magazine I bet Tiffany bought for reference. "Then why didn't you join Neneuis and others having fun and getting wasted." Tyler sat in front of me with his leg crossed and his elbows on the arm rest while his other arm was holding a teacup and the other was holding a black crocheted coaster I bet Tiffany made. She has so many marks in this house, it should be called Tyler and Blake's mansion from the start and not just the legendary wolf's. I was about to turn to another page but my finger stopped flipping when I saw a familiar fa
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 41: Suprises
-Something's burning inside me. I took my luggage out of the house and saw Richard and Genevieve getting out of the car with happy faces. But I'm not convinced, their car was just a second-hand light blue bronco, and I bet Richard was blaming himself for his stranger-stepdaughter who burned his Mercedes out of spite. "Harriet dear, you're back!" Genevieve saw me and her face double lit up as if she was so happy she saw me, and I hate myself for thinking it was genuine. ".... where are you going?" Richard roared, spotting the large bag I was carrying. "I'm going back home," I said blankly and continued to hop on trying to get my heavy bag in balance. "What do you mean?" Richard pulled me and I almost bite his hand for touching me. "This is your home, Harriet!" I put down my bag, Genevieve's watching on the side, with a satisfactory smirk like it was her plan all the time to see Me and Richard strangle each other’s throats. She got what she wanted.“What are you talking about? T
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 42: Arnold's Scream
What will you say to me? I watched as Lukas tried to pinned the wolf which was obviously larger and scarier than him. They were in their canine, Lukas was on all fours, laying on his stomach and baring his fangs, trying to bite his attacker, there’s one thing that was obvious though, he has no tail. Tyler managed to pin down Lukas successfully, his black fur, large canine teeth, golden fiery eyes that almost crimson red and his scowled face says it all, now I get why he was going to be the next alpha, also why it didn't happened. “Lukas! Stop whatever you’re thinking! Don’t fight the beta, you’re just hurting yourself,” Neneuis cried and for once I saw tears shimmering in her beautiful eyes. Was this really that serious? I turned to Blake, then to the others before going back to Tyler and Lukas, it was my first time seeing Tyler so mad that he transformed into his bestial form, maybe this was really bad. But what did Lukas do? What does he want to tell me? "Lukas, we feel the sam
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 43: He can't see us
“He can’t see us.”I glance at Blake with a horrified look as he watched Arnold writhe in pain while still holding his side stomach, out of breath, he bend and tried to walk to the lot beside us, I want to hold him and somehow do something to ease his pain but the only problem was… He can’t see us. “Seems like David change our location again,” Blake muttered and put his hand in his pocket. Blood traveled on Arnold’s arm as he lay down on his back and struggled to lift his shirt. His face crumpled and his eyes turned so red, a jarring blast of realization hit me and by looking at him, I could feel his pain, my mind started to feel dizzy like I just drank a bottle of alcohol, I rubbed my aching shoulder as a heavy load suddenly attack my skin. “What the hell? Who did that to him?” I’m hysterical, I pulled my hair in distress, and I don’t know if snot or tears mixed in my face, but it’s just because I want to help him, I want to help someone in pain. Blake looked at me with dejected
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 44: I want to know his secret
I never expected he works on a tall, large, and modern building like the one I usually saw only once a year; on postcards, or overseas trips. It was made of concrete and steel with a glass façade, my neck will surely get sore if I don’t stop amusing the building. I put the map back on my shoulder bag that Tiffany drew for me and passed through the entrance revolving door. The long desk of the information team greets me, the lady in a dark blue uniform and A-line skirt with red lips and a perfect smile made me rethink my choices to go here where I could just stay in bed and let Tiffany nursed me, I’m wearing a long skirt that drops to my white sneakers and a white tucked in shirt with cute frills as sleeves. “Hi, I wish to apply on the HR department here, where can I go?” The information lady eyed me, she gave me a head to toe look as if scrutinizing my fashion sense and telling on the spot that I wouldn’t enter the job. Definitely I won’t, I muster a sly smile from forming, I am st
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 45: Stay Away, Target
When Jean was called to be interviewed next, I excused myself to go to the bathroom, but the truth was, I’m just going to the highest floor of the building.In Jean and Mikaela’s conversation, they have no idea that the reason why the CEO gave out rules for the employees to distance themselves from him like they each have an infectious disease was that someone might recognize him, sure he could change himself into some mature guy or any CEO like the one I saw in a magazine, but there’s no denying that it would be chaos when people knew they’re working for a werewolf, much more to a legendary wolf who earn billions but killed his family. -“Listen, Harriet, I’m really not approving of you going on to the wolf’s company,” Tiffany said, holding clips of paper as she briefed me. She let me borrow her clothes and I’m choosing between the suit with peach pants and long sleeves or the simple black pants and white shirt. “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.” I smiled, but I really don’t. I
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 46: Lukas' Letter
A week had passed since then, and I think I’ve made a progress, but I also feel not. Things had been blurry since then and I'm so close to getting into jail but Blake went on just for the perfect time to save me, and together they get me out of trouble. It definitely adds up to my long list of shame and embarrassing moments and I put myself in solitude for that. But Tyler has become ignorant day by day. "That's what she should do, she's just going to get in another trouble if she runs free again," Tyler replied when a worried Tiffany knocks on my door. I'm in the farmhouse again and don't worry I'm not using Neneuis and friends' things without permission, I'm telling some 'please, let me use this' spiel every time I'm using them. And if ever Neneuis and her friends come back, I'll make sure the door of this farmhouse welcomes them. Honestly, I feel like this was their home now more than I do, I don't like the farmhouse but I have no choice but to live here, I don't want to go to

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
Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf Chapter 91: Last Chapter
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.

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
