I gazed at Aurel, who was peacefully sleeping next to me on my bed. She looked so enthusiastic hearing my story about our clan, even though I didn't explicitly mention that we were werewolves. She was so eager that she even fell asleep, resembling a child listening to a fairy tale. Slowly, I withdrew my hand, which had been her pillow. I didn't want to disturb her sleep. I gently caressed her face, causing her to snuggle even closer to my chest. It was becoming increasingly difficult to control myself, especially with her tempting scent.I then directed my gaze to the crook of her neck, inhaling her scent deeply. Reluctantly, I got up from the bed. I needed to meet Rex immediately; there were many questions I needed to ask the half-human, half-wolf being."Meet me in the Neutral Dimension," I sent a packlink message to Rex before disappearing, leaving Aurel behind. I had placed protective regnum shields around our home to ensure her safety. After a few minutes, Rex arrived in the Neut
"What's all this?" Rex asked at the door of my room, looking puzzled as I stood in front of a large mirror, checking my reflection."I'm just looking at myself," I casually replied, making Rex click his tongue in annoyance."Come on, that's not what I meant. What's going on in your room?" he asked, glancing over at my bed where clothes were scattered, along with bags and shoes. I continued to stare at him before nonchalantly shrugging my shoulders."I'm just picking out an outfit," I replied, causing Rex to walk closer, his gaze filled with curiosity."Are you going somewhere?" he asked, to which I nodded while continuing to fix my hair."Where are you going and with whom?" Rex questioned again, sounding a bit like he was interrogating me. I turned around to face him."With a friend. Someone's taking me out to explore some new places. My dear cousin is kind enough to take me for a stroll. The last time, all she did was take me for ice cream, which wasn't enough," I said, eliciting ano
Our gazes met when I turned to look towards Gray. He was so close to me, almost trapping me between his body and the windowpane in front of me. I couldn't even release my stare from his intense gray eyes that were silently fixed on me.For some reason, it was difficult to escape Gray's gaze. Eventually, I felt his hand gently encircle my waist, and as his body pressed against mine, I could feel the warmth of his touch against my back."It looks beautiful," he said, causing me to blink in surprise. In the next moment, I couldn't fathom what was going through our minds. We simply drew closer, our lips meeting. I could feel the warmth of his full lips against mine as they started to move. The air around us seemed to shift, growing warmer as Gray pulled me even closer.I instinctively wrapped my arms around Gray's neck as our kiss intensified. His lips moved faster against mine, and his tongue intertwined with mine. I felt a powerful rush with each passionate kiss, and I found myself not
I looked up as Gray released his kiss, shifting his attention to the curve of my neck, his touch gentle. I could only grip Gray's hair, feeling its thickness and softness between my fingers, as his warm lips continued to explore my skin, causing my body to grow increasingly warm.For some reason, the temperature seemed to rise as Gray's fingers moved around my back, slipping beneath my clothes. My mind felt hazy, my body light, and I could only grip Gray's shoulders tightly. Until a sigh escaped my lips unexpectedly, causing me to immediately bite down on my lower lip.Until a sigh escaped my lips unexpectedly, causing me to immediately bite my lower lip. And that's when Gray looked at me, extending his hand to gently stroke my lips."Don't hold back. I like hearing that sound," Gray said, prompting me to slowly release my lip from my bite. Following that, Gray's lips replaced mine, greedily capturing my lower lip. He slowly pushed my body until I was lying on the small bed, barely bi
Throughout the day, I could only sit anxiously, continuously observing the teacher explaining the lesson at the front of the class. This is the first time I've felt like this, or perhaps not just today – it's been about a week now that I haven't been focused on what I'm doing.Occasionally, I keep checking my phone whenever there's a spare moment, every hour, every minute, hoping for a reply to the message I sent to Gray. However, the result is nothing; my message remains the same without a response or an explanation about his condition for the past week. This time, I can't wait any longer; I have to make sure about his situation, regardless of the last time he was with me.I immediately tidy up all my books as the school bell rings. The only way to ensure his condition is by visiting his house. I've held back for too long this week. I should have met Gray directly at his house from the beginning. My steps pause when my phone rings – it's Maudy sending a message. I forgot that we had
"Gray," I croak out his name, and for some reason, it feels incredibly heavy when I say it. He doesn't budge from his spot, just continuing to stare at me under the pouring rain, much like how I'm looking at him. I drop my bike again, intending to step closer, but he moves back."Wait, I just need to talk to you. I'm not afraid of you, and I'll keep all the secrets I know. Just please, don't go away from me," I hurriedly utter, my voice trembling with both haste and fear. I'm afraid he'll avoid me again."I beg you, Gray. I just need to talk. I only want to make sure of something," I plead again, my tone desperate. I don't care what's going through Gray's mind right now. All I want to do is ensure that I can do anything to keep him visible around me. I don't even know why I need to do this, maybe because I don't want to feel the pain that comes with thinking I won't be able to see him again. It's like he's disappearing from my world, and I can't find him no matter how hard I look or i
I step out of the bathroom and see Gray sitting on the edge of the bed. My breath catches as I notice he's wearing only his pants, his bare chest exposed. I then glance at myself and realize how we both seem to have forgotten about the cold outside and the heavy rain pouring down. I'm only wearing his oversized black shirt that drapes on my small frame."Come here," Gray says, extending his hand slightly, which startles me. I continue walking and accept his hand, allowing him to guide me to sit beside him."Are you warm enough?" Gray asks, and I find myself momentarily speechless. The rapid thumping of my heart heats up my entire body."If you're still cold, I can adjust the room temperature," he offers, making me shake my head. If he did that, I'd probably feel like I'm on fire."No need," I reply, causing Gray to fall silent again."Was it really that difficult for you during this past week? You look thinner," I ask, and Gray once more just looks into my eyes."Yes, it was very toug
I jolted awake and immediately opened my eyes wide. I didn't know when I had fallen asleep; the last thing I remembered was chatting with Gray. He was telling me all about his week, and now I wondered why I had suddenly fallen asleep. My gaze darted around the empty room, devoid of Gray's presence and even his scent had faded. What lingered was the worry that he might have disappeared again.I threw off the blanket covering me and got out of bed, shouting out to call for the man who had claimed to be my Soulmate."Gray, where are you?" I asked, then walked towards the empty bathroom."Gray," I called out again, this time walking out of the room. Only silence filled the large house. I hurriedly descended the stairs, my fear growing. I almost stumbled down the stairs a few times if it weren't for someone catching me. I turned to look behind me, finding Miss Brenda gazing at me with a concerned expression."Aurel, what's wrong with you?" she asked, worry evident on her face."Where's Gra
