Chapter 11 - Fear of the bogeyman
Last Updated:
2023-05-04 04:30:52On an afternoon when he was not working, they went to a small town near the village to buy groceries. The place was only 20 minutes drive from the village, and had a well-stocked warehouse and some small clothing stores.
The two went first to the warehouse, passed a candy aisle and he noticed that she was looking at some chocolates that were on the shelf, but said nothing. He then took some and put them in the shopping cart.
- You don’t need any specific product, like shampoo, deodorant?
He asked, when he realized that she would not choose anything for herself.
- I’m fine with what you have at home!
Aram stopped pushing the cart and stared at it.
- Lucine, my bathroom shampoo must be expired for a few months! And do you really plan on wearing my deodorant forever?
Lucine blushed a little with his questioning and simply took a shampoo from a random mark, walked a little more and found the place where the deodorants were on the shelf, took one that was designated for the female audience and placed also inside the cart.
- Is that better for you?
Aram bowed his lips in what with great willpower could be considered a smile and answered it.
- Now I can finally put that shampoo off!
When he realized that he had taken everything he thought they would need, he went to the cashier.
After storing the groceries in the car, he took her to a clothing store.
- Now choose what you need, try to remember everything, I won’t have time to come back here anytime soon.
- Ok Witch!
- What did you call me?
She smiled as she tried to explain herself, had let her thoughts out loud.
— It’s just that, speaking in this full-bodied, authoritative tone, it even looks like a character from a series I’m seeing. He is a solitary wizard who hunts monsters, and is always so, "very serious". - She said, trying to imitate in the placement the deep-voiced intonation of the character.
He smiled at her imitation, making evident two dimples that Lucine had never noticed, but found very attractive. Aram was silent for a moment, as if trying to understand what she was referring to, and after a moment finally commented:
- But, following the logic of our reality, I think I would fit more into the role of the monsters he hunts, don’t you agree?
He asked, raising an eyebrow, still maintaining the smile that left very white teeth with slightly pointed canines. Lucine lost her train of thought for a moment, Aram was always so serious and introspective, she couldn’t help but think about how he looked handsome and younger, with that smile and the dimples that came as a toast. When she was able to reason again, she just shrugged and replied.
- In fact, I think a wizard also falls into the category of monster, he only chose to go after those who did not act within what is considered acceptable within the context of the story.
— Does that mean your sense of right and wrong is biased? - He went on provoking her, she stopped walking again and turned to him, facing him again.
- Ih, what a gut to have in an Aram clothing store, it would be more normal if I asked your opinion about the pieces I’m going to buy, or if you commented that some clothes match the color of my eyes.
He glanced at her intensely for a second and answered quite seriously.
- That would be difficult, because until today I have never seen anything that looks like the tone of your eyes, I can not decide what is more exotic, whether it’s them or it’s your hair!
Lucine felt too exposed to respond, walked around the store leaving him behind, grabbed some sets of panties and bra, praying he wasn’t watching her. The Alpha seemed distracted standing at the entrance of the store, her eyes staring at the floor, she thanked him for that, because she never imagined that buying underwear could be so embarrassing. He took what he needed and went to meet him at the register.
- It’s all here!
He spent the purchases at the cashier and he paid the amount that the attendant quoted and returned to the cabin. Sometimes at night, they watched TV together, some documentary or movie, in silence. Lucine had already realized that he had a preference for action films, but always asked what she would like to watch, or simply joined her on the couch when she was already watching something.
After dinner, she was already choosing something to see, for he went to the room after the meal, when he returned and sat down next to her.
- You could go get the covers, because it seems that today only the fireplace will not cope. I’ll make a sweet popcorn for us. - She suggested.
Lucine went to make the popcorn, and they put a movie to watch. The film was a thriller that gave her chills, and when she realized it, she was so close to the Alpha that you could smell his perfume. When some evil spirit jumped from behind a couch on the TV screen, she leapt towards him and nearly knocked over the popcorn.
- Jesus! My heart almost came out of my mouth now!
Aram smiled at her reaction and took the bowl of popcorn from her hands.
- Give me that, you don’t even want to eat anymore, you’re just going through the popcorn in there.
- It’s just this movie is making me tense.
- Sure, it’s a thriller movie, and you picked it out.
— I just couldn’t stand to see another action movie, and I didn’t think you’d want to see any romantic drama. I was sure you’d say it was a woman thing.
Aram looked at her amused, with an interrogation expression.
— And, why would I say something like that? Is being a woman something bad for me to use as some kind of offense? I always said you could choose whatever you wanted to watch.
His comment made her feel a little immature, in fact from what she had known him in those months, did not give her the right to judge that he would make such a comment.
- I know, I like movies like that, but I find it a little scary, because I’m not used to it.
- If you want, you can hold my little girl’s hand if you’re afraid the boogeyman will come and get you.
Said Aram amused. She thought that this would be a good opportunity for closeness and a touch she could bear. He did not wait for him to say he was joking, he came closer and held his hand and put it under the heavy blanket that was covering them. Aram looked at her surprised, but made no mention of getting rid of it. In silence, they returned to pay attention on television.

Lucine kept seated on the couch, wrapped in the blankets that had covered them both moments before. She kept her head down while he moved away towards the fireplace and stared into the fire with the expression of someone whose mind was somewhere far away and scary.“It's been six months...six months that you have been here. How come I didn't notice anything before?”She looked up as she answered him.“You had no way of knowing, I gradually developed the skills. The night I killed them, I transformed even though it wasn't a full moon. Now I can feel a huge energy inside me, even in human form. I have long range vision, strength far beyond normal, and some other bonuses. Not to mention my nose, this mixture of smells drives me crazy sometimes. Everything was appearing little by little after that day. I still have a hard time controlling it, but I think I'm doing well”.“Doing well? It's a miracle that you didn't kill anyone or yourself”, said Aram, visibly worried.Lucine pushed the cov

“Let's go to the shed, there is more space and my equipment is there”.“What equipment?”“You'll see!”They went to the shed where she had stored the firewood. Lucine hadn't noticed before, some equipment that seemed like a martial arts gym, but all very improvised. There was even a punching bag, the kind used for boxing training.“There are no gyms around here, so we have to improvise. In the elders' house there is a bigger one, for the betas to train”.“Cool”, she said, touching the punching bag with her fingertips, as if she wanted to check its texture.“Let's get started. Try to hit it as hard as you can, so I can get an idea of what we're dealing with”.“I don't think so, it could be dangerous”.“It's a punching bag, it won't get hurt”, Aram insisted.“Fine, but back off”.He took a few steps back and she prepared to throw a punch like she'd seen on television, which didn't mean Lucine had any idea what she was about to do. When she hit the bag, it tore and spread sand everywhere

Aram woke up with his arm better and they went early into the forest. Lucine was able to freely test her skills, view, smell, strength and agility. She did well in both human and wolf form. They took a snack and ate there to utilize the time. “You're doing well, you can already control the force. What remains to be worked on is the emotional, knowing if you can control yourself under strong pressure, that's what we need to train. You also need to learn how to track, but this is something more complex. Lucine, I think we're going to need someone's help and Szafir is the only one I trust for this. He can train you while I'm at the lumber, the faster you evolve, the safer it'll be”. She bit the sandwich and shrugged.“Okay, if you think we can trust him”.Aram smiled, finding her placement funny, as if the two were a team. In fact, in the current situation, they weren't too far from it.“Don't worry, he is reliable. Let's stay here a little longer and then we'll go back home. I’ll set

The Lycans and Werewolves are two different species of wolf man but they carry a common past. The ancient legends speak of a king named Licaon who lived in Greece, southern Europe, more precisely in the city of Arcadiae who would have been cursed by Zeus for committing unholy and cruel acts. It is said that he was a sadist, who murdered the visitors of his castle and used to serve his meat to guests at the dining table.One day Zeus himself would have disguised himself as mortal and visited the Licaon’s castle, when he sat at the table, he found out that human flesh was served to him. He would then have cursed King Licaon, making him turn into a wolf every night. Unable to keep control over his body, he wandered hunting and eating raw meat, without sleeping or resting. Due to the weight of the curse and the stress it caused him, he had a few years to live, but her wife gave birth to two children before his death. She prayed to the Moon to deliver her children from that evil, was in pa

Szafir was Aram’s beta of trust, they had fought several battles and built together a stability for the clan. The friend was a wolf of honor, whom he could trust. If it was really a trap, he was the right person to identify and neutralize the attack.However, everything went smoothly. When the group of Betas arrived at the indicated place to pick up the girl, their leader, Szafir, was very impressed with the aspect of the female that would be the new Luna of the pack. She really looked pretty young and scared, it was obvious she wasn’t a welcome guest in that werewolf pack. She had her hands and feet tied and her mouth gagged.That seemed a little exaggerated,

Time passed mildly, with the Alpha regaining the respect of the people. He worked like the others in the wood industry, and on his free days he helped repair the houses that needed some renovations. Lucine did not give up learning how to prepare a decent meal, and with real food, which was not for dogs, it was not so difficult. In the days when he did not go to the lumber, Aram helped a lot, with the house and with the meals. Lucine began to record people’s faces, as she saw them almost daily when she was taking lunch to her husband at the factory. As the days went by, he began to receive some nods and even a few more. The fact that she went every day, apparently, was making people believe that she took good care of her husband. The fact that the Alpha always received with a modest but sincere smile, and showed a lot of warmth when she came, was also influencing everyone’s opinion of her. Six months had passed since the fateful day on which she had been assaulted in the assembly, the

As everyone was heading to the supply shed, Lucine was still waiting for Aram, who was talking to some older men. The fact that beta came to talk to her, slightly decreased the discomfort of feeling hated by everyone there. Not that she would care about anyone's opinion, but feeling sharp gazes in her direction wasn't pleasant.Szafir had also given good advice, which she needed to always bring in her mind. He said Aram was a good Alpha, but that his patience was not known to be infinite. That she'd have more to gain if she didn't test him in clashes and preferably not offer him any more dog food. She smiled as she remembered his relaxed speech. He had given the advice and withdrew, leaving her pensive, moments later she realized that the Alpha was coming to where she expected him. He had a very serious expression, with the countenance closed, not for nothing, the spirits had become very exalted in the meeting.— Let's go to the supply shed, I have to supervise,

— Dog food? How would I imagine? You don't even have a dog! Lucine tried to explain herself, visibly confused. — You arrived here yesterday, how can you tell if I have a dog or not? — Where is this dog then, and why wasn't it written on the package that was dog food? Aram dried his mouth with a dishcloth that was on the stove. Despite everything, the stew had not tasted so bad, only the texture was strange. When Yasmina died, he couldn’t keep their dog, Eros. Szafir then took the animal to his home, so that the dog would be taken care of decently. The rare times he went shopping, he bought food for the animal and delivered it to his friend. With the latest events, he had forgotten to deliver the dog food to Szafir. — The dog doesn't live here anymore, but I still bring food from time to time. Well, but it doesn't matter, there's no way to eat that, I'm going to make some sandwiches. She started emptying the dishes back into the p

They ate in silence and when they finished Lucine went to collect the dishes to clean them. Aram held her wrist when she went to take his. — After you do that, wait for me on the living room couch. She did as he asked while Aram headed to the room. He returned with a box of first aid supplies and sat on the same couch as her, but further away. — Now take off your sneakers and put your leg on the couch. She obeyed him, put her foot already without the sock up the couch, near where he was. He took her leg, put it in his lap and began to carefully examine her injuries. He realized that there were several scars, one on top of each other, which meant that she spent a lot of time tied with the ropes hurting her. The wounds healed and others were opened. At that moment he knew that the female had gone through something truly bad. He thought it best not to make any comments, washed the area with serum and applied an antibiotic ointment. — You’re
