Fenris' werewolf form was stepping closer and closer to me while I was little by little stepping back. I swallowed deeply, looking up in order to see his glowing blue eyes that looks like they wanted to eat me, kill me, or scratch me with his pointy claws.
"You're a lot scarier than I expected," I whispered while continuing to step back little by little. "Fenris, w-what are you planning to do now?" I swallowed deeply. "Don't hurt me, please."
His looks were tolerable. It was his size that made him look so intimidating. His werewolf form was a handsome-looking wolf, a big wolf, like a fluffy dog that could eat anyone alive yet could also allure any Luna.
'Kira, don't be scared. I'm not gonna hurt my mate.'
My brows crossed. I looked around, but no one was there.
'It's me, Kira. I'm the one talking to you. Do you hear me?'
I met Fenris' glowing blue eyes.
'Yes, I'm talking through the mind.'
My lips formed an 'o'. I was hearing him in my mind without him talking. It was amazing.
'Kira, talk to me.'
"Oh yeah..." I smiled, still in amusement. "You can talk telepathically?"
I read in books that it was one of their abilities, but I didn't know it would be real. I never expected anyone could be capable of doing telepathic things.
'Obviously.'
I rolled my eyes, even in his werewolf form, he could be sarcastic.
'Come closer to me. Feel my werewolf form, Kira.'
"Can I hold you?"
'That's what I want you to do.'
"Promise you don't bite?"
'If you're not a threat to me, why would I bite you? Unless you want me to.'
My lips thinned before stepping closer to him. I needed to look up to see his body completely. He was taller than me; he looked like an Alpha in the stories I read. He could break me in just one throw away.
His head was scary but I managed to put my hand on top of it. My hands looked so little as I caressed his head.
"You're much larger than Vilka," I whispered.
I focused on caressing his soft fur. The feeling of swaying my hand on him was relaxing, it was just like caressing a giant teddy bear. But his face wasn't even close to a teddy bear. He looked like a handsome monster that kills.
'And you'll discover why, sooner or later. Let's take your learning slow as it can be overwhelming. But I want you to be aware of the Red Moon since that's the day of your transformation. All werewolves actually transform during that night. It's a routine; a long night process.'
I nodded while he was sinking more information into my rotting brain cells.
'I'm gonna prepare you for the Red Moon, so expect that we will have more sessions."
I nodded again while walking around his werewolf form. I was caressing his whole big body, including his cute, huge tail.
I touched his ear one more time before I cupped his face like my palms were hugging a dog's face. I smiled as I get more used to his werewolf form. I let my nose touch his nose like I was cuddling a dog while I was caressing both of his cheeks. My nose got wet from his warm nose but I liked the feeling of it.
"I thought you look scarier but as time goes by, I saw your werewolf form to be much more comforting like a giant teddy bear that I could squeeze when I'm sad." I frowned, still caressing his cheeks with my nose touching his. "Unlike your human form, you're much more sarcastic and short-tempered."
I squeezed my eyes close as I massaged both of his cheeks more, feeling the soft fur on my hand.
"You find my human form more intimidating?"
I stopped caressing his cheeks when I felt the softness of them without fur. I opened my eyes as my heart thumped while my nose was touching his pointy nose. I moved away, realizing he was already back to his human form.
I looked at my hands, still feeling the warmness of his actual human cheeks. Then I looked back at him but I almost cough when my eyes landed on his naked body. I squeezed my eyes closed, covering them with my trembling palms.
His chuckles made my cheeks warmer.
"Don't panic, Kira. You have my permission to look at my naked body so yeah," his voice was smirking. "Look at me whenever or however you want."
I just rolled my eyes, seeing myself caught off guard.
For the past few days, Vilka was still caged in the underground. She was still in her werewolf form with only animalistic instinct intact in her mind. Fenris claimed that her sister was dangerous so he had no choice but to imprison her in the voice-proof cage. Our routine has been the same. He would often drive me to school and fetch me like he was some kind of a bodyguard or something.
"Finish your food. I need to show you something." Fenris emptied his champagne glass after he took the last bite of his meat.
I shrugged before eating faster. In fairness, he was really a good cook. He has been the one cooking for our meal lately and I was loving it, except the fact that he would still get annoyed so easily even if I wasn't doing anything wrong.
"What is that?" I asked after chewing the last piece of meat.
"Do you wanna see it in your room or mine?"
I stopped drinking my wine. I froze for a second until I put the glass back on the table before meeting his brown eyes that would often melt me like a helpless dog.
"First." I swallowed deeply. "What are you gonna show me?"
I massaged my lap as it suddenly felt warm down there. Is he gonna show me his huge--- I shook my head. Quit thinking dirty, Kira. Oh please, self.
His right brow raised. "Choose first, your room or mine?"
I licked my lower lip.
Why is he always catching me with his tempting questions that would mislead my thoughts into something wild?
He puffed a breath. "Let's go to my room then," he declared before walking out of the dining area.
My face heated. Damn, I'm a virgin. I'm not ready. How am I gonna say to him that I'm not yet ready?
I quickly cleaned the table before following him. The door to his room was open but I was hesitant to step inside so I just stood in front of his big door, feeling the cold breeze from his room. I sniffed, his manly scent was all around the corner.
"Come inside!"
I flinched, hearing his command. I rolled my eyes before stepping inside. My eyes glistened in amusement as I looked around his black and white room. It was nice and neat, all of his things were organized compared to my dad whose things were all around our simple, little house.
"Close the door," he commanded again.
I hugged my arms as the cold breeze travelled on my skin more deeply like it was freezing my body except for my heart which kept on thumping loud like a giant drum was inside my chest.
I didn't move, seeing him remove his polo again, he was unzipping his pants when I looked away, contemplating whether to get out or to stay. The door was still open. Should I just run?
"Close the door, Kira." His brows furrowed, starting to look annoyed.
I held the door with my knees trembling. Am I gonna lose my virginity now? I should have lost it when I was younger. I might not be this nervous today.
"Fenris, I'm not ready for---" My lips zipped as I captured his fully naked body again. I looked away. "Can you give me more time?"
"Seriously, Kira?" He sounded impatient. "You have seen my naked body before. What do you mean you're not ready? You should be fully ready before the red moon."
I bit my lower lip, staring at the floor. "Do we have to do this before the Red Moon? Is it necessary to make out with my mate before my transformation? Before the wedding?"
I slowly looked at him when he didn't utter a word for a long second. Our eyes met and his brown pupils were glittering in playfulness like he wanted to laugh but he just smiled and shook his head in disbelief. "Kira, I'm preparing you for the day of your transformation and that includes showing you the history of our kind and what may be ahead of us. We're not gonna make out. I'm not even planning to have sex with you anytime soon.""Then great!" I looked away, feeling my burning cheeks. "You should have said it straight to the point though! Instead of giving me false hope." I rolled my eyes at his masculine body. "Why are you even naked anyway?" I puffed a breath, releasing the giant shame inside my chest."So you're hoping to have sex with me?""No! Of course not!" I crossed my arms. "I don't even know how sex works for werewolves."The side of his lips rose. "You'll soon know.""Yeah, whatever! Show me what you're gonna show me and can you please put your clothes on. It's disturb
After knowing a brief history about their kind, Fenris has been more gentle to me. I couldn't figure if it was connected to me knowing part of them or if he was just simply being caring. I shouldn't assume a thing though. As time passed by, we were getting more comfortable around each other. Months have passed and Red Moon was almost approaching though we still have enough time to get ready. "I got you there!" I laughed as I escaped myself from his muscular arms that imprisoned my neck a second ago. He tried to hit me again, almost grabbing me but I manoeuvred around, dropping myself on the ground as I roll until my right knee leaned on the lawn as I positioned my buckles in front of my chest with my eyes shooting dagger at him. "You're getting better huh!" His baritone voice was catching breath while his sweat was dripping on his firm chest. He was topless while I was in my sports bra and leggings. I smirked, finally, I was learning how to get him tired in a fight. I often lose
He didn't seem bothered at all. He just stared into my eyes with his usual poker face. He turned off the shower, giving the four corners a complete silence. "Are you sure you're not in a relationship with Nazarus?" he asked with his face looking stiff, staring just only into my eyes. "The fuck?!" I checked my body, making sure the sensitive parts were all covered. "I'm pretty sure, Fenris. What the--- I'm taking a shower! Can we talk later?" He rolled his eyes. "Is he for real just a friend of yours or are you guys flirting? Do you like him?" "What? No. I don't like him." My brows crossed. "We're not even flirting." My heart was thumping so loud as I imagined how I look in front of him. I looked so awkward with my arms and hand covering myself while my knees were trembling. I puffed a breath. "Besides, I know he doesn't like me. He's not interested in me. He's a heartthrob, Fenris; famous and rich. I'm far from his ideal girl, that's for sure." "Are you fucking sure with that
My brows crossed until I saw the time on his gold wristwatch. It was almost ten a.m. I just shrugged at him before running down the long stairs again until I reached the garden.I stood in front of Fenris, sitting on the cemented chair beside the fountain. He looked at his phone as he shrugged. "Just on time; nearly good." My stomach felt like an earthquake. "I'm hungry. Can we eat first?" "No. That's the consequence of waking up late and not showing up right on time. You'll eat after the training." I glared at him and ended up pouting. He had been really cruel for the past few days; a lot stricter and more serious when it was about training. "What kind of werewolf are you?" I crossed my arms. "You're gonna allow your mate to die in hunger just because." My head remained high, looking up at him. Why didn't I grow taller? His height was making me look small. His thick right brow raised as he clenched his jaw. He was in his short-tempered, strict mood again. I managed to just stare
"Oh about that, you saw Gonzalo earlier?" Fenris wiped his lips with a tissue when his mouth looked oily; it added more lusciousness to his lips though. It looks good. Why am I even thinking about that? Damn Kira!"Ah... Gonzalo? Who's Gonzalo?"He checked his phone before looking back at my eyes. "He's the one you bumped into a while ago. You're supposed to meet him today but something personal occurred to him so he told me that he'll just gonna come back here maybe tomorrow or the next day.""I'm supposed to meet him?" I furrowed. "Why? What's gonna be his role in my transformation?"He looked away. The movement of his adam's apple showed how he was hesitating to say something. Is there something I need to know that he's not saying?"We'll talk about that tomorrow or some other time.""Come on! I'm curious. Say it to me now." I frowned.He slightly smiled even without his eyes moving; what a faked smile! "I'm still unsure about it so I'm gonna talk you through when I'm done thinking
The next thing I knew, I found myself laying on the lawn, naked. My head was still spinning when I looked around, seeing my dress shred on the floor. "Kira!" I could barely move I just lay there, staring at the night sky until Fenris' face showed up. He was looking so worried while my eyes were almost closing in heaviness. My breath would often be off and then come back for a minute, then off again. "What happened, Kira?" He asked caressing my hair out of my face. I felt like I was staring at the stars through his eyes. Despite my weakening body and sight, I saw how light and beautiful his eyes were. "Kira!" I exhaled a large amount of breath before I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him down to me. My naked body felt the warmth of his skin but I didn't seem to mind. Finally, I felt safe. I was so scared a while ago and all I could think of was his name because I knew for a fact that I needed him. I squeezed my eyes close letting the excess tears fall on my cheeks, s
"Seriously?" My lips parted at him.He just nodded. I looked down on my lap as I played with my fingers. "Is that how you despise the idea of marrying me?" I thought we already established a good bond even just for the convenience thing. I couldn't blame him after all He never liked me. It was normal for him to desire to escape the responsibility he never wished for. I don't know why my heart is aching though, damnit. "I don't despise you, Kira." "You don't have to pretend. I see it." My lips thinned as I nodded. "I feel it." "Kira, it's not that..." He gasped. "I just thought if you could have a choice, you'd prefer someone else than me. You always pinpoint how short-tempered I am and Gonzalo, Gonzalo is more patient than me, more understanding, and more friendly." "As if it isn't obvious." I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, I know. That's what everyone says about us, anyway he offered us a proposal and I found it unfair if I wouldn't even let you have the chance to choose." I looked
My mouth was frozen in seconds until I blew a hard laugh. "I thought you have humour. Why didn't you get my joke?""Too bad, you're not joking." He rolled his eyes. My lips thinned. Is it that obvious? I shrugged, acting unbothered but I caught myself floating on cloud nine while I stare at his glittering gold eyes with his messy hair that he often stroked with his fingers. His oversized black tank top made him extra good, showing his perfectly masculine arms."See? You're distracted again." He smirked.I blink multiple times. I pinched my waist, gathering the right senses I should obtain right now. I was about to go on a battle; I shouldn't be floating like I was some kind of a butterfly."Can we just start? Shall we?" I puffed a breath."Sure, but first I'll give you the credits for arriving on time today. It's your first time not being late. Congrats, Kira." He offered his hand.I glared at it but then on I wanted to feel his big palm so I shook my hand with him until he gripped t
I swallowed deeply after seeing some backpacks and winter clothes that they had prepared for us. My mind was roaring everywhere, and I couldn't even sink in the information Guardian Leo was saying to me.My chest was thudding so loud, and all I could think of was I wasn't ready. I didn't expect everything to happen this quick.We rode horses to travel the cold land, and I couldn't stop glancing at Fenris every time I would think of backing up. I sighed deeply and tried gathering courage from I didn't even know where I could actually get one. Perhaps, the look of Fenris reassuring me was enough.We arrived at the strange mountain ranges, and from there, we teleported to the icy plateau on top of the hill. My hands were trembling under my gloves. Fenris held me while we were looking around the place, examining the surroundings."I don't understand," I muttered. "I can't see anything but icy mountains. Where could be the location of Darkesta's territory?"I hugged myself when the strong
What happened that night was still hunting me to this day — it had been two weeks and up until now, we were still thinking of the purpose of why Darkesta's little dogs suddenly attacked us."Claude is dead."When Fenris brought me that news, I was stunned. I thought I would be happy to hear those words but then again, I remembered he was once my friend. Even though it wasn't really for him, it was real for me and Lilien."They decided to kill him after he almost successfully transformed himself into his wolf form," he added.I sipped on my cup of coffee while my heart was still feeling unsafe. Darkesta was not only the devil, he was intelligent and whatever he was plotting against us could be the real end of our kind. I was just so frightened by that thought."What about Vilka? Do you believe her?" I asked before sipping on my coffee again.Vilka explained to us why she suddenly disappeared from the mansion a minute after our soldiers had traced foot tracks of Dark Summoners. She said
My jaw tightened as my claws gripped tighter on the ground. I stepped back, lowering my body while gazing at the three creepy humanoid wolves. They were standing on their two legs, and it made them look more monstrous. I prepared myself for a possible attack."Calm down!" The humanoid wolves were almost laughing in my ears. I didn't know they could talk to us through the mind link. "You seem to be too threatened to us. Don't make it so obvious, I suggest." The humanoid wolf in the middle kept blubbering, sounding so boastful.I glared at them deeper as I hissed. Fenris was looking much more eager. I could even hear his blood boiling so hard.Fenris howled. "What do you want from us?!" He also spoke through mind-link. The humanoid wolf on the left side chuckled like a playful yet annoying child. "You know what we want. "We will never surrender to your greedy master, you asshole!" Fenris fired back while he was scratching his pointed claws on the ground with his sharp teeth showing.
My heart thundered as Fenris' eyes and mine met. "Stay here," he commanded."What? No—" He got out of the room without letting me finish my words. I gulped before I rushed to follow him downstairs. Noises were coming from outside the mansion and when we finally exited the house, I saw some soldiers talking and discussing some things. In contrast, others were spread around the huge house, they were anticipating something, and my heart was thudding continuously for what could be it."What the hell is going on?!" Fenris exclaimed, and finally, he caught the soldiers' attention."We saw tracks of Dark Summoners leading to this place—""I know, but did you see them? How the hell did they get here without anyone sensing them?"Strange. Even I didn't sense the unwelcomed scent of humanoid wolves. "Alpha Fenris, I checked Vilka in her room, but she isn't there." A maid approached him."What?! What does she have to do with any of this? Are you sure she didn't sleep in her own house?"The mai
I swallowed deeply, convincing myself they were nothing but friends just like me and Nazarus — come on!"Yes, my cousins are regaining their strengths, thankfully."I cleared my throat before I stood properly and composed myself. My elbows hit some leaves, and I immediately noticed how quickly their eyes turned into me. "Oh, Kira!" Atasha chuckled awkwardly. "My cousins would want to give you and your mother this." She handed me two necklaces with a fang pendant."Really?" I still couldn't figure out how to interact with her. I never wanted to be fake or plastic or whatever they call it. "Yes, they've been planning to come here, but they are still regenerating their strengths — maybe next week they could thank you personally.""Oh, that's nice." I grabbed the necklaces from her soft hand. "Tell your cousins not to worry, and we appreciate their gifts and their gratitude." I glanced at Fenris, and he slightly smiled at me. My lips just thinned.I wanted to ask what they were talking
We arrived in the woods right on time while the Sun was about to rise. Good thing, the soldiers arrived earlier than us. They seemed responsible and dedicated to their tasks. We stayed near the river for a couple of hours. Fenris had been discussing something with the soldiers. They were plotting a plan while I was on the lookout for the busy group. Surprisingly, no Dark Summoners attempted to attack us. I was quite anticipating the action now, but perhaps it really was better for them not to attack or anything. The damage they could cause was too much, for sure.Since we saw no sign of attack, Fenris and I decided to go back to the mansion. He instructed the leader to inform us once anything unfortunate occurred. While we walked our way back to our house, the soldiers stayed in the woods as it was one of their duty — to guard and observe the forest.The next day was a really bad day for me. I work up without Fenris on my side. Since my body was so heavy and even my eyes, I didn't no
Nazarus just shrugged and started walking to the exit of the mansion. He looked back at me and gestured to me to follow him. I rolled my eyes before walking. I watched Nazarus back while walking. It was only at that time I noticed how neat and elegant he walked. Every step of him was really careful — I laughed at the thought of why we waste our time walking if we could just teleport. Fenris's deep gaze met mine when we reached the gate. "What did you do?* His brows crossed at Nazarus.I snaked my arm over Fenris' arm. "Where are we going?" I asked.Fenris remained to stare at Naz. Naz laughed and shook his head. "Chill! I went to the restroom and walked past her in the living room.""Where are we going, Fenris?" I asked again.Fenris finally looked at me. "You'll see."I rolled my eyes before looking at Nazarus. "Where are we going, Naz?""You'll see." He mocked Fenris.Fuck them!I crossed my arms over my chest and just followed them. We walked for a few minutes until we reached M
Slowly, the estranged man opened his eyes and quickly met mine. "You're gonna die… you're all going to die…." His huge black pupils trembled on my chest. I took a deep breath as my chest tightened.Fenris kicked the man before he stepped on his chest. "Don't listen to him." He tightened the grip of his feet on the man's chest, stiffening the Dark Summoners' human body."What do you want from us, huh?!"The man smiled strangely and slowly, he chuckled like a devil. "You're all gonna die…." He breathed out before coughing after Fenris squeezed his chest more with his feet."Fuck you! You're the one who's going to die today." Fenris grabbed his dagger and sliced the Dark Summoner's head off. I flinched and stepped back as the blood splashed everywhere. I covered my mouth. I was used to seeing brutality, but I couldn't still stop to be shocked at times."Why did you kill him? We could get information—""Do you think he will say something?" Fenris cut me off. "Think of him as Claude. He wi
Fenris raised his right brow. "You're talking about me?" "Oh, it's not important." Nazarus shrugged his hand. "Don't think too much about it."My lips thinned when Fenris glared at me. "What?" I arched a brow. "I just told him you don't like plucking the flowers in the garden."Fenris looked at the flower in my hand. I thought he was going to get it to me, but he just turned his gaze back at Fenris."What it is with the flowers that you're always giving to my wife, huh?"Nazarus raised both of his hands as if surrendering. "Just a nice gesture, calm down.""Nice gesture." Fenris scoffed. "Bullshit.""Fenris." I cleared my throat."Anyway, Fenris," Nazarus uttered. "It's perfect timing that you're here. I have to discuss something with you."Fenris' brows crossed, and so mine."About what?"Nazarus glanced at the mansion. "Can we talk inside?""Why? Can't you discuss that here?" Fenris sounded more disgusted yet intrigued.Naz looked around. "You won't wanna risk someone hearing our
