"You're stupid, you know that." I say and he grunts when I tighten the bandage on his torso. "If I wasn't there, you would have died after been mauled by your sister."
"I can't still believe that she is-" He cuts himself off with a sigh, his head hanging low in what I guess as defeat.
"Will your perspective of her change because she is now turning into a werewolf?" I ask, patiently waiting for his answer as I tend to his wounds.
It seems that all I had to do was clean and dispose of the rug that Andrew bleed upon. I did that after I made his little sister fall asleep. It took a couple of hours to clean it but when I found out that the smell would still be there, I decided to remove it from the room.
She is a human turning into a werewolf, meaning that her senses will soon change to that of a werewolf and she will be able to catch the slight smell of blood in her room. That's not what I want her to smell right now, it could lead to many problems.
I
A week has passed and I am still staying with Andrew's family. A week that I haven't seen Nathan or Jasmine and though I try to hide my feelings at the back of my mind, it doesn't work that well.The mate bond is pulling at me, making me think of him every second of the day and my wolf is doing more of the nagging.Sheila's change is not really aparent and this confuses me. She suppose to be changing by now but she remains the same. It makes me wonder if I am doing anything wrong.I try to assure myself that everything is fine because if I don't believe it, how will I make Andrew and his siblings believe it too.Shelia. She's a beautiful girl, both inside and out. It's pretty obvious that she holds her family in her heart and she cares for them deeply. They all care for each other and it reminds me of my family.My train of thoughts makes me wonder when I turned to this kind of girl. Normally, I don't think about all these things because it will br
After I see the growing marks and it leaves me stunned for some minutes, I push Andrew to the bed so that he can sit down."When did this start?""I think it was two days after I got clawed." He tells me, frowning as he tries to remember something. What goes on in his head is strange but I am not going to think about that now, I have a much more important matter at hand."After two days!" I exclaim with a glare. "And you didn't even tell me anything till now?""I thought I was imagining things okay, and I didn't know how you would act." He rolls his eyes and leans closer to me. "Am I going to turn into a werewolf too or not?""You're not turning into anything." My glare on his intensifies. I act tough outside but the panic is breaking out on the inside. "Somehow, I feel like you would like it if you're turning into a werewolf.""I would like it, yeah. I don't expect you to stay here forever and my sister is turning into a werewolf. She needs
When I wake up, the first things I see are his eyes staring at me. His forehead is covered in lines, I assume they are thinking lines. When he thinks deeply, he has this habit of frowning. It's a little bit weird."Why are you staring at me like that?""You're the one who is staring." He counters backs."You started staring first, quit been a pervert. I woke up and I saw you staring at me." I glare at him as harsly as I can."Can't I admire a beautiful woman when I see one?" He muses, his face changes when I sit up straight immediately."I have a mate." I whisper quietly. "You know what that means, don't you.""Yeah." I don't look at him as he whispers back to me, sounding a little more cheerful than I expected. "But that won't stop me from admiring a beautiful woman. I just hope that he isn't the type of guy that gets jealous easily and threatens to cut off the head any guy you meet because I love my head on my neck.""I actually don
His eyes glare at me, drilling holes into my skin and it affects me. Of course, it will. The kind of aura he radiates is enough to leave me in shock but I manage to push pass it."So this is where you are." He says. "You look different. You smell different."His words shock me. He can smell me? But again, I am not surprised, he is my mate and he is supposed to know my scent but in a way, he reminds me of a werewolf.He frowns at me before his eyes moves to the girl behind me. Shelia."You are something entirely. What's your name?"Shelia's fingers digs into my skin as she grips my arm. She is already getting intimidated by him. I won't blame her because I am intimidated too which is weird.When I first met him, I wasn't acting like this. I was bolder, more interactive but now I am frozen. I am even finding it very hard to blink.It's weird because I would never act like this. It is weird because for once in my life I am terrified of m
"I still don't get why he had to come here." Andrew speaks with a high amount of disbelief and suspicion in his voice. It's clear that he doesn't like Nathan at all.Nathan, who sits beside Shelia apparently hears him and tilts the side of his face to Andrew's direction. "I came because my mate asked me to."The way he emphasises on 'my mate' is very odd. I can assume that he doesn't trust Andrew too. It also shows on his actions. Every once in a while, I see him looking my way through the corner of his eyes. He is accessing my relationship and closeness with Andrew.After Nathan told me that Shelia is cursed, I managed to convince him to come with me. Even though he is not sure about it and it's just an assumption, I am still shocked and scared.With my whole heart, I am hoping that it isn't true, that it is just a lie. A big lie, a joke. Just a joke, yeah.Since we arrived here, Nathan hasn't let his guard drop. It's not like it was down before.
"How did you know that?" My question falls into his deaf ears. He is ignoring me for no reason at all. After what he just said, I am puzzled on how he knows that. He refuses to talk, all he does is stare at me with a strange look in his eyes. At that moment, I forget that what he said and I fall into his dark abyss. It's almost too late when I find a way to look away, pulling myself out at the same time. Something in my head tells me that is his power, at least, one of them but I don't even know what happened. "You said that my plan is to seduce you, Nathan." I look down, biting my lips in thought. I don't know what brings about the action. "How did you know that? Is it one of your powers?" For some odd reason, I am been timid and gentle. It shocks and annoys me at the same time. I shouldn't be looking at my feet like a scared cat, I should be staring him on even if he is a god. The harder I try to raise my head up, the harder it is fo
I turn my attention to my food for a while before I look back at him. "Did you cook this?"As I open the plate covers what stares back at me is a lot of delicious food. My nose is pretty good in sniffing out things since I am a werewolf so I am able to know how delicious it is..."Yeah. I had a little help from Jasmine because I wanted to make it worth while."I frown. "Wanted? Sounds like it's not your objective anymore.""I still want to but it's your choice to taste it." He gestures to the food, waiting for me to take a bite and I slowly look down at the several plates full of cool dishes."If I eat this, will you help Shelia? I know that I am asking a lot of things from you right now but she really needs help."Help from this curse you sensed.Slowly, I cross my fingers under the table.Please don't tell me that the character he was portraying in the time he sensed that was the one of someone who lies. Please don't or I mig
The day that we planned to leave comes and I try to focus on packing my clothes in a bag even though I can feel the warmth of Nathan behind me.Nathan feels that it is irrelevant to pack but I am thinking ahead. I may have to stay in Andrew's house for more than what we planned and I will like to be prepared because I doubt that Nathan would like to see me putting on Andrew's clothes.I glance at Nathan and see him glancing at the house with a thoughtful look. It turns out that he is a neat freak, when I first saw him cleaning the house I was shocked but I guess that this is one of the attributes of the 'real' him."Is there anything I need to know before we go?" I ask him when we begin to walk out of the house.He glances my way then he looks straight ahead. "Don't get close to the forest and don't run away."I don't know if he is joking or not but I can't stop myself from rolling my eyes. Tell me something that I don't know. "I mean, things I nee
Jasmine, Nathan and Andrew stare at the bed where Isabella's pale body lies perfectly still except for the small whispers that leaves her lips ever so often.Nathan clenches his fist and grits his teeth. He can't imagine the pain she is going through right now."No matter what I did I still fell into her trap."*LET'S REWIND A LITTLE, TO THE SCENE WHERE THEY LEFT FOR THE LOCATION THAT WAS SENT TO THEM*"Are you sure that this is the place?" Andrew looks around as they walk forward. "It looks kind of run down.""I can feel Isabella's presence."Everyone in the building can the creaking noises coming from the ceilings and where they step on.Andrew's face twists in distaste. "I feel like this building is going to fall apart if we go any further. I know that you said you know this goddess but maybe there are really traps here.""Yeah, you're right. We should move faster if that's the case." Nathan answers and Andrew th
Jasmine stares at the god in front of her. His face is blank but the aura oozing out from him is anything but calm.How should she start...She has been silent the whole time so that she can avoid his wrath if he tries to put it on her.She's centuries old but still afraid of him. No, there's nothing bad about that. You just have to know when things are looking too grim."It's all my fault."He finally speaks, though it comes in a whisper. It takes Jasmine a few seconds to realize this. Normally, she would but she was too lost in her thoughts...Okay, now she's rambling too much."I'm sure whatever happened wasn't entirely your fault." She says and immediately grimace when she realize she said entirely.Stupid, stupid, stupid.What if guilt pulls him in even more.Clearing her throat, she speaks. "So when we going to get her back?"Nathan stares at the floor blankly."First, we need
The day for Isabella and Nathan to finally leave arrives and they decide to spend their morning and last day walking through the city.It sounded like a good idea when Isabella thought of it but now she's starting to regret it.The smile that was once on her face is now gone."I don't like how they are staring at you, are you an exhibition or something." Isabella stops herself from glaring at the nearby females gawking at Nathan."Maybe I'm a god exhibition." Nathan suggests playfully and laughs but when he sees the expression on her face, he stops."That's not funny, Nathan. My wolf is telling me to pull their eyeballs out.""I'm sure you can keep her in check for a few more minutes, after all, you are the one who suggested this." Nathan smirks."Hey, don't put the blame on me, I'm already sulking enough." She reprimands him and he shrugs but his smirk still remains."I suppose that you're right. I also wanted to come he
*Third Person's Point Of View*The next day, Nathan wakes Isabella very early with the excuse that they are going out on a date."What are those things in your hands, Nathan." Isabella asks, looking suspicious than ever as she points to the small basket Nathan is holding by his side as they walk."It's something that's going to be very useful." That's all he says."Don't tell me that you're going to kill me and hide my head in that basket.""You have a very wild imagination, Isabella." He chuckles but she still married her eyes and when he sees this he sighs and answers."I'm not going to do anything rash. Why would you think that I will kill you. I find it hard to find out if it's a joke or not.""You're just acting really weird." She tilts her head. "Did my family put you up to this.""This is all me, Isabella. Just watch and see." With that he picks up the pace. "Now, walk faster so that we'll get there before the sun
"Why am I doing this again?" Isabella stares blankly at herself through the mirror as her aunt puffs out her dress for like the tenth time."Because I say so.""I don't want to do this, aunt." Isabella says as she shakes her head in mortification. She can barely remember how she got into this dress. "Just tell him."Her aunt covers up her mouth immediately and gives her an evil glare. "Shut up, Isabella. The walls have ears, I don't want them to find out."Isabella rolls her eyes. She really can't believe that she's doing this."If this turns out to be a full blown party for me, I'm going to be really mad.""Don't worry, it won't." Her aunt assured her so Isabella decides to take her word for it.Outside of the castle and in the forest, the werewolves gather around tables, mumbling things between themselves or eating and drinking.They recently found out that Princess Isabella is actually mated to a god. Some are en
*THIRD PERSON'S POINT OF VIEW*A few meters from where Isabella and Nathan are playing and deep within her room, Summer watches on with a bored look on her face."Seriously, why am I moping around right now." She sighs and looks up at the ceiling with her back on her bed. She just wish that she could see David again and he would actually stare at her the next time.Suddenly, a small knock comes from the door and it is pushed open before David pokes his head into the room."Is it okay if I come in?"Looking up, she immediately flushes and her face pales. "Er... What are you doing in here?"David lets out a heavy sigh. "Of course, sorry I even asked."Before he can retreat back, she jumps out of her bed. "Wait, wait. Don't leave!"This makes David stop on his tracks. "Sorry about that. I was just surprised to see you, please come in."She opens the door for him to fully come in before she speaks. "Is there anyt
"And why is that?" I ask."Don't act dumb, you know that he can never accept me." She sits on her bed, placing her hands on her face as she sulks.Okay, this was not what I was expecting."I don't hey why you would think that. Did he tell you himself."She frowns at me as she moves her hands away from her face. "No, but he is a human."It's my turn to frown. "I don't see how that has to do with anything."Slowly, I sit on the bed, beside her. So this is the reason she called me here. I guess that I was right. David is her mate after all.Suddenly, she is staring at me like I've lost my mind or worst..."Don't you get it, Isabella! He doesn't feel the bond like I do and he..." She pauses and looks down at her fingers. With a small whisper, she tells me. "He isn't immortal as I am. I'll live forever while he'll grow old and die. I can't live like that, I can't! So it's better you tell me how to reject him withou
"Nathan?" I blink."Yes?""I love your British accent." I say and I flush, curling my toes as I wait for his reply."Then I live your voice." He says and my face gets even hotter."Don't you think that's sappy?" I giggle, biting down on my lip."But it's true." He says."You know what. Let's go on a date." I don't know when I blurt if out but silence ensues after.He doesn't answer and I suddenly want the ground to open and swallow me."I mean... I-" I can only stutter as I try to justify myself."I'd like that but we'd have to go on dates. There are going to be more than one." He finally speaks.I sit up immediately."What are you talking about?"So he isn't declining my offer after all. He is looking forward to it. This fact floods into my heart and brings me relief."We can have a date right now if you want but first, I'd like to know your wolf more better.""You want me to shift?" I a
I bite down on my lip, willing myself not to cry. At that moment, a hand drags me back and I'm been pressed into my aunt's chest."There, there, Bella, remember that you're supposed to miss me first."I hear my uncle sigh before I am released. He doesn't want to argue with my aunt, it's a battle he won't be able to win."You must be Shelia. I've seen your visit in the stars." I turn in time to see Summer holding Shelia's hand with a weird expression and Shelia watches her with the same.My aunt steps in before Summer can say anything else. "Sorry about my daughter, she says things like this sometimes. You see, she's a star fey."Shelia grins. "You're a really life fey, that so cool but then you can't turn into a wolf? ""Yeah, wolves are animals anyway, very digusting animals..." Summer notices her mistakes and wears a nervous smile. "Well, some of them are."Summer laughs out, nervously. If she didn't say that then my aunt would have
