Gina plastered the handwritten guidelines on the wall, staring at them as if the paper contained the Rosetta Stone to coexisting. The alpha, in turn, stared back, utterly clueless.

“These are my rules for living together,” she declared, her voice tight. “If we can abide by them, respect each other's space despite this…child we share, then maybe, just maybe, our mutual loathing won't implode. I can’t assure you that we would get along, never would that happen. but we might be able to stand each other’s presence”

Her voice softened, almost pleading. “And if you retrieve the staff from Boris, vanish forever, never to darken my door again, that would be ideal.”

"That will be left to me to decide," he answered coldly, while Gina scoffed in shock.

"We clearly had a deal. You can’t go back on your word!" Gina said alarmed.

"I never agreed to that," he stated clearly.

Gina took a deep breath, suppressing the rising anger within her. Instead of escalating the confrontation, she decided to sh

You can't do this here. ; you can’t let anyone find out!"His wolf thrashed within him, a wild beast straining against the cage of his skin. Yet, Ralph fought tooth and nail, the veins in his neck pulsing as he wrestled down the snarling beast. With a final grunt, the wolf receded, leaving behind a tremor of rage.

    Gina quickly pulled her by the arm, leading her into her room, Ivy stumbled after Gina, the unexpected grip on her arm sending a tingle of fear down her spine. The click of the bedroom door felt as heavy as a tomb closing, suffocating the already tense air. Ivy sank onto the edge of the bed, hands clasped in her lap, her eyes flickering across the floorboards like a trapped animal.Gina, a caged tigress in that small space, paced.

    He walked around the bar, which was beaming with loud music and dim blue light, but couldn't find her anywhere. At some point, he contemplated going back home and telling Ivy that he couldn't find Gina, but the thought of her reaction alone scared him. After a futile attempt to find her, he decided to go outside the club in search of her. Upon getting outside the club, he heard a familiar voice that made him stop to have a look. His eyes were caught with Gina, who was lying on the garden bench."Why are you still here? You should be home by now," Gina asked drowsily as she struggled to take off her scoat."What are you doing here?" he asked tiredly as he heaved a sigh of relief upon finding her."I want to have some sleep, get lost," Gina mumbled, finally taking off her coat."You can't sleep here; let's go back home," he requested even though he knew it was all a waste of time as she was already drunk and wouldn't respond."You're not the boss of me; I can sleep wherever I want," Gin

    "Did I say something wrong? Why is she overreacting?" Ralph asked Ivy, his voice laced with confusion. Ivy couldn't hide her disappointment as she glared at him."Of course you did!" she exclaimed, visibly offended. "You need to apologize.""You know I can't do that," he replied flatly.Ivy's patience snapped. "I'm not giving you a choice," she yelled, her voice shaking with frustration.“please don’t raise your voice on me” he answered with a blunt expression“else what? you would give me a time out?” ivy stated intentionally getting on his nerves “i have never forced you to do anything you didn’t want to do, but i guess i would have to force you for the very first time.

    She huddled behind a tree for coverage as her heart began racing really fast. Gina was still hiding behind the tree as she tried to nurse her injury when she felt water droplets on her head. She looked up, and her eyes were met with sharp fangs over her head and the face of an angry werewolf with dark eyes. She got a panic attack merely seeing its face. She placed both hands over her head to shield herself as she waited for the angry animal to devour her, but a black werewolf came out of nowhere, pushing the brown werewolf away from her and throwing it off its feet. Gina peered at them behind the tree as she watched the two werewolves fight to the death. The black werewolf turned out to be a lot stronger than the brown werewolf as it pinned its head against the soil but suddenly let go, leaving it to escape into the woods. The black werewolf stood from a distance as it stared at Gina, who was too shocked to think of running. She hid behind the tree, covering her face with her palm as

    “What was buried here?” the voice of the corps could be heard from the garden. Gina felt her entire system reverberate in fear. They found the grave; she was definitely going to prison. She was still in the sitting room when Ralph walked out; she also followed him immediately as she began thinking of the perfect explanation.“What is there shouldn’t be your business. Don’t you think you’re overstepping your boundaries?” Ralph asked upon joining them in the garden. He looked so relaxed as he spoke to the corps like he didn’t just bury three men right there a few days ago.“No, we have a search warrant,” one of the corps said, flashing a piece of paper. “We would like to know what is inside. We’d like to open it,” the corps said.“Something was buried inside a few days ago; it might smell really bad if you open it. Are you sure you want to do that?” Ralph asked, while Gina stepped on his foot to stop him from talking.“That wouldn’t be necessary,” Gina started. “It is—”“Why wouldn’t it

    Gina's breath hitched, her eyes searching his face for a glimpse of emotion. But all she found was a flicker, a fleeting warmth hidden beneath the cold exterior.The spell was broken as Ralph gently released his hold, allowing Gina to regain her balance. His features reverted to their impassive state, as if nothing out of the ordinary had transpired.Gina, her heart still racing, offered a small understanding smile. She didn't need words to convey her gratitude for his support. She knew that beneath his icy facade, he had shown a rare vulnerability.“that was an epic fail” ralph muttered breaking the awkward silence, with his left hand still resting on her waist slightly and his eyes fixed on her. Gina’s eyes darted towards a young couple who seemed so engrossed in the dance, probably being too extra as they were dancing and spinning each other with every ounce of strength in them. The man pulled the lady in a romantic way which came out a bit too aggressive to be called “romantic” an

    A scream tore from Ralph's throat as Gina toppled over the edge. But before gravity claimed her, a strong grip clamped onto her wrist. Boris, eyes wide with shock, had lunged forward, snatching her back from the abyss. He dragged her back onto the rooftop, her heart hammering against her ribs; she couldn’t believe she just saw her life flash before her eyes in a second. Gina sat sprawled on the concrete, gasping for breath, the world tilting around her.Ralph’s face held a mixture of shock and relief as he stared at her for a while. Silence stretched for a lifetime, finally broken by Boris's gravelly voice. "Where's the staff?" he rasped, eyes narrowed at Gina. His grip on her wrist had loosened, but the question held her pinned where she sat. Gina, still panting for breath, looked up at him with a shaky smile. "I think I dropped it," she admitted, embarrassment creeping up her face.Before Boris could respond, a gruff voice cut through the stillness. Ralph, pushing past Boris with a

    “He’s gone to get the staff from Boris; after this, he’ll leave for good,” Ivy announced, making Gina’s heart drop.“Where is he now? I need to find him,” Gina said as she got up immediately.“I’m not trying to stop you, but you can’t just go out there without a plan. It’s dangerous out there,” Ivy warned. Gina walked towards her and held her hands in hers.“Ivy, please tell me where he is. That is all I ask. I promise that I won’t try to stop him from leaving; I just want to have a last talk with him,” Gina pleaded, which was only a lie. There was no way she would let Ralph sacrifice himself just for her to live. Even though she didn’t have a plan yet, she was sure she would come up with an idea, whether smart or a dumb one. She was more focused on the end result, which was stopping him from leaving. She held Ivy’s hands, silently hoping that would be enough to convince her.“I don’t know, Gina. Ralph would be really mad at me if you get hurt,” Ivy said, trying to pull her hands out

    “i’ll follow the rules. I will have to look for a way to get rid of you and take zayn with me,” Ralph said as he stared at her, as though waiting for her reaction.Gina stared at him for a while, her expression almost comical. Shock and disappointment were etched on her face as she did. “Uhmm… I see,” Gina finally let out, her shock still evident. Ralph stared on silently, his eyes pinned on her face. And then slowly, a small smile appeared on his lips.“I was only messing with you, silly. Don’t tell me you fell for that?” Ralph asked with a smile as he playfully pinched the tip of her nose.The playful pinch to her nose sent a spark of laughter dancing in Gina's eyes, dispelling the shock that had momentarily settled there. Relief flooded her in a warm wave, replacing the tensed look on her face.“Don’t ever make such a joke with me again; that wasn’t funny,” Gina said with a smile, playfully hitting his chest."Don’t tell me you actually believed that I’ll choose anything over you?"

    As Gina paced around the room, her mind filled with worry and panic, Ralph, seated in a corner of the room, watched Gina pace with an understanding but pensive gaze. He could sense her worry and panic; the staff wasn’t some random object that someone like Boris could have in his possession. An object like that could destroy the entire world in a second with just a little effort."It's okay, I'll get the staff back, I promise," Ralph said, reaching out to gently hold her in place, his eyes reflecting a sincerity that only seemed to agitate Gina further."You say it's okay? Do you realize what's at stake here? That staff is not just some random object, Ralph! How could you even think of trading something that holds the safety of the entire world just to save one person!? Was it even worth it?" Gina said, almost yelling.Ralph held her gaze for a while, as though at a loss for words, but he answered, “You are not just ‘one person,’ Gina. You and Zayn are my only priorities. I’m going to

    Back on the beach, Ralph's worry deepened as the minutes stretched into an eternity. After about 15 minutes of waiting without any trace of her, he decided to go to the female’s restroom in search of her even though he knew it wasn’t right. Upon entering the restroom, it was eerily quiet, the only sound was the distant crash of waves against the shore. Panic clutched at his chest as he scanned the vacant room, finding only her abandoned phone on the floor, its screen shattered. His heart pounded as he picked it up, a premonition of impending trouble settling over him. Confusion and fear intertwined as he stared at the broken screen, contemplating his next move. Before he could gather his thoughts, a new message flashed across the damaged display. Unknown Number: you really thought you could protect her, didn’t you? A chill ran down his spine as he read the text, trembling hands gripping her damaged phone tightly, anger welling up within him. Frustration boiled over, and he couldn't c

    A surprised smile touched Gina's lips. It wasn't the question she had expected. She glanced at Ralph, a mix of shock and amusement as she stared. “So, where are we going” gina asked with a smile Ralph smiled, a glimmer of excitement in his eyes. "you once mentioned that you wanted to go to a beach” Gina's eyes sparkled with surprise and delight. "A beach? That would be amazing." She said with a blush as she bites her lips in attempt to contain her smile. But he walked up to her, took her hands and pulled her into a warm embrace. “i want us to make the best of the little time we have together” he said stroking her hair gently while gina nodded with a tight smile even though he clearly couldn’t see her nod as her head was resting against his chest. The Next Day the sun hung lazily in the sky, casting a warm glow on the sandy shores of the beach. The rhythmic sounds of waves crashing against the shore created a soothing melody as Gina and Ralph strolled hand in hand along the water

    Gina stared on for a while with a blank expression, him getting the staff only meant one thing; that was the end of the road for both of them, he was definitely leaving and they would probably never see again.“are you okay?” he whispered, bringing her out of her thoughtsGina forced a smile as she answered “yes. I—uhm, i’m glad you finally got it”He remained quiet, staring at her, trying to figure out what really was going on in her head.“so, when are you leaving?” gina asked“as soon as i’m able to get a hold of boris, i can’t leave him roaming around here because he is a threat to your safety” he answered, still staring at her trying to read her expression“okay, that’s great!” she said, ones again with a fake smile“that’s the fakest smile I’ve ever seen.

    “i’m sorry about how i’ve been treating you lately, i was just annoyed that i have dragged you into my own mess.
