The request

Aaron dodges and even grabs my hand. He was a skillful fighter. He snickers, giving me a look of his a tiny fang on the left tooth, making his rugged, handsome look softer and I must say, cuter. Pulling my hand away and tighten the towel on my body, I smile at him.

“Nice catch. I thought you were just depending on that magical look that you have earlier.” Said to him, with a little teased at him.

“What? this handsome look?” He snorted, and with his arm leaning on the doorframe, he stared at me and said, “Trust me, darling, I am more than just a handsome face. I can show you if you want.”

Laughed at his words, I walked closer to him, until my face inches away from him, “Don’t… Call me… Darling!” and this time I successfully punch him in his guts. Hearing him gruntled and curses, I wave goodbye and close my door.

“Ugh… I let you do that, you know.” Said Aaron from the other side of the door.

“Yeah, yeah, whatever you said! Now leave me alone!” I shouted to Aaron while rolling my eyes.

“Dinner is ready! Just come down before it gets cold.”

I wait for his footsteps to disappear into the stairs, and after convinced he was gone, I open the door and retrieve the clothes as soon as possible, not going to risk if the perv still around and leering at my body. I think all of them are pervert in some kind of way, one of them already touching my b**bs, one takes pleasure by looking at my body, such a gentleman they are.

When I saw the clothes, I gasped and felt the t-shirt once more; it was definitely an expensive and not a fake M*u-M*u, even though it wasn’t brand, new and sadly the t-shirt is a bit tighter for me. Especially on the chest area. I am going to get into some big trouble from the three of them. Five minutes later, when I go down the stairs, the three of them were in the middle of having a heated debate. I clear my throat to get their attention, and to get their attention, I was.

My appearance mesmerized their eyes. Even the rude Zephyr has to double look at me, but somehow, I don’t think they intended their gaze for me. I look at all of them and said, “Right, where’s the food? I’m starving.”

Elm, having a very big gape in his mouth, was the only person who can speak for a moment, “Uhm… Wow, you look… Big.”

Even Zephyr and Aaron winced at his word. I frowned and folded my hand, trying to hide the obvious object that being admired by Elm, “Big? Seriously?!”

“Well, they are.” Said Elm, shrugging his shoulder.

Zephyr huffing his breath and turns his attention to me. “Let’s go to the dining hall. We need to talk.”

A dining hall is not a normal word for middle-class people like me, especially for a house as big as this. The dining hall was not huge in comparison of the lounge room earlier, but oh wow, the grand table and the chair, modern but with a touch of elegant, the table with a large white vase and the arrangement of fresh flowers inside, the whole furniture in this room alone probably cost more than my tiny house. Talking about my tiny house, I totally forgot about it.

“Oh, no!” The three of them turn their heads, when I shouted, “My house, where is my house?!”

“Oh, that tiny thing?” Zephyr basically mocking the appearance of my precious tiny house, which makes me glared my eyes at him. He ignored me, and pull a chair for me, well, how gentlemanly of him, even though he was such a pompous *ss. “Relax, my guards already took your mobile home to get repaired. He will be here soon to give the report.” He said again after I was sitting down.

“It is a tiny house, not a mobile home.” I said to him with gritted teeth.

“Well, same-same but different.” He replied to me with a smug smile on his face, just like I said, pompous b*stard.

The food finally being served to us, I was starving and not disappointed when I saw the array of feast on the table. While I was eating, I was observing the three of them and could see the difference in their table manners. Elm was eating in a good manner, not too much on the plate but also not so little, just enough of a portion. Zephyr eating like he was always going to starve himself to death, a little portion, although he was the most elegant in the way of he was eating the food. Aaron, however, eating like there’s no tomorrow. Never in my day I saw a man fill up his food like him. Thank goodness he doesn’t loudly chew his food.

“Well, I thought you’re hungry?” Said Aaron while his mouth is full of food. “Dig in.”

Awkwardly, I tried to put in my best behavior in front of them. I even put a napkin on my lap. I know this rule from watching d*wnton abbey, thank goodness for those British historical dramas. We eat in silence, and finally after the dessert being served, Zephyr begins to talk to me.

“I know you’re so curious about us, and believe me, we are also curious about you, as you may already notice. We are not just a human being.” He said to me, with his hand cutting the chocolate cake carefully, like it’s going to break anytime.

“Of course I was. I mean, you’re what everyone called a werewolf, right? I mean, thank you for saving me, but I don’t know if I can trust you fully for now.” And that was my genuine words. I can not trust them for now, even though the voices in my head asking me.

Aaron snorted, he drink his beer and talk to Zephyr, “I told you, there is no way that this lady will trust us. I mean, you freaking drug her and kidnapped her.”

I gasped and even clapped my hand to Aaron, “Thank you, finally someone that talking with a sense.”

Zephyr, even though there’s not much expression on his, I can feel his angered towards me and Aaron, “Well, if only you don’t want to run from us back then.”

“Point taken, so tell me more about this werewolf thing.” I said to Zephyr, and then licking the spoon that was full of chocolate crumbs. The chocolate cake was so divine, I couldn’t help to lick the whole thing.

Once again, I can feel their hungry eyes towards me. This poor man probably doesn’t get lucky for quite some time. They look like they are ready to jump at me at anytime.

‘Because they are.’

There she goes, the voices in my head again. Ignoring her, I tried to listen to Zephyr tentatively.

Clearing his throat, Zephyr begin to explained, “Uhm… alright, although when you said the werewolf thing was a bit disturbing. We are what you called the purebred, the werewolf from a variety of group that being called as a pack.”

“So, all of you were not from the same grou… I mean, pack? But what are you doing here together? Why were three werewolves from a different pack wanted to protect me?” I asked them, with a curiosity fill in my head.

The three of them looking towards each other, and finally, the youngest, Elm, spoken to me, “Simple, because someone asked us to do it.”
