Chapter 2

John's PoV

The following morning, I had a grin on my face and felt renewed and invigorated. I was enjoying the warmth and comfort of my bed when I suddenly thought of the dream I had about Kate.

In my dream, we were holding hands as we strolled along a gorgeous beach at dusk. A warm warmth covered our cheeks as the orange and pink colors in the sky burst into flame. When Kate raised her eyes to meet mine, I was overcome by a wave of feelings that made me gasp for air.

We discussed our aspirations for the future as we sat on the beach and watched the waves come and go. We decided to explore the globe together, exploring strange and exotic locations while Kate's camera captured our beauty.

I couldn't help but lean in and kiss her as we sat there, feeling a wave of love and joy sweep over me. I knew right then and there that she was the one for me, and I would go to any lengths to keep her happy.

I'm motivated and brimming with inspiration. I was certain that I wanted to make those fantasies come true and that I would do every effort to make Kate feel as unique and cherished as she had in my dream. I was excited to start the day and ready to see her as I sprang out of bed.

I got out of bed and started my morning ritual in the restroom. I felt the accustomed spark of excitement as I brushed water over my face and glanced in the mirror, remembering that I am a werewolf.

I am aware that I had to maintain a professional demeanor and conceal my genuine identity from the public. I chose a stylish black suit, a clean white shirt, and sleek black shoes for my attire for the day.

I gave my hair a tidy, polished look and used only a trace of fragrance, being careful not to overdo it. I inhaled deeply and examined myself in the mirror, feeling certain and prepared to face the day.

I experienced the sense of exhilaration that comes with being a werewolf as I stepped outside the door and made my way to work. I was aware that I needed to maintain my composure and behave like a regular person, yet I couldn't help but feel a sense of liberation and pride.

I was resolved to get the most out of each day, do well at work, and enjoy life to the fullest while concealing my actual identity. I entered my office building with confidence, prepared to face the day.

I entered the meeting room with a sense of assurance and command. I am an experienced manager with a reputable recruitment company, and I was well-prepared for the upcoming interview. In front of me was a stack of portfolios and resumes, and I was anxious to discover the finest applicant for the photography business I represented.

I glanced up and my heart skipped a beat when I saw the lady who had just entered the room. Since our date the previous evening, he had been fantasizing about Kate. She walked over to the table and took a seat across from me, and despite his best efforts to keep things cool, he could feel his cheeks start to flush.

Kate smiled and said, "Good morning, John," looking as stunning as ever. It's wonderful to see you once again.

I answered, trying my best to maintain my professionalism, "Good morning, Kate." It's wonderful to see you as well.

I instantly gathered my composure and began to work, looking over her portfolio and questioning her about her background, her love of photography, and her future aspirations. I was awestruck by Kate's ability and determination as she answered every question with assurance and grace.

Her stunning green eyes, contagious smile, and contagious giggle had me entranced as the interview progressed. She and I had such a deep connection that I knew she was the one I had been seeking for.

She was the ideal candidate for the photography firm by the time the interview was through, and I had already made arrangements to meet her again. As she prepared her belongings and said farewell.

My closest pal Ryan, a beta werewolf, We were a part of the same pack. He entered my office with a stack of papers. He saw a gleam in my eyes that he had never seen before as he walked up to my desk. In contrast to my usual stoicism and professionalism, I seemed nearly thrilled today.

What's got you all worked up, John? Ryan enquired as he placed the papers on the desk.

I grinned widely as I raised my head to face Ryan and smiled. Leaning forward in my chair, I continued, "Ryan, I have to tell you something. "I met someone,"

"Really?" Ryan enquired while raising an eyebrow in shock.

I said, "Her name is Kate," with a dreamy expression on my face. "She's also great. I'm in love with her, Ryan."

In disbelief, Ryan's eyes widened. "John, hold on a second. Do you have a human partner? "With a note of fear in his voice, he inquired.

I said, shaking my head, "Yes. And to keep it a secret, I need your assistance. I playfully remarked, "Let's keep our werewolf secret away from her. No members of the pack can know." I want to avoid frightening her off."

Ryan nodded, realizing how serious the issue was. "Naturally, John. I'll maintain your privacy. But are you certain this is a wise decision? I mean, falling in love with a Human. For us, it's not quite simple."

I said yes, A resolute expression on my face, "I know. "I can't help how I feel, however. She must be the one for me, I simply know it."

Ryan grinned as he saw the joy and affection in my eyes. Then, he added, "I'm glad for you, my buddy." "Just take care. And keep in mind that I have your back."

Ryan then turned and left the room, leaving me alone with my ideas and my aspirations for a future with Kate.

Gamia's streets were bathed in a warm golden light as the sun started to drop over the town. My pulse was pounding with eagerness as I took up the phone and called Kate. I was relieved when she responded since I could hear the joy in her voice.

I made an effort to maintain my voice as I greeted Kate. "I was wondering if you might join me for supper this evening. I really want to take you somewhere you'll enjoy."

John, that sounds amazing," Kate said, her voice brimming with delight. "Where are we going?" She asked.

I mentioned the amazing eatery The Silver Moon. "It's one of the most well-liked spots in town, and the menu is the greatest. Does it sound okay?"

With a grin on her face, Kate said, "The Silver Moon sounds wonderful. "I can't wait."

Kate and I arrived at The Silver Moon, a hip and posh eatery in the center of Gamia, a little while later. A kind hostess welcomed us and led us to our table, which was covered with a pristine tablecloth and furnished with shiny cutlery.

I couldn't help but feel proud and eager as we looked over the menu. I had been looking forward to this day for weeks, and I was determined to give Kate the best night of her life.

Rich and tasty steaks and delicate and appetizing seafood may be found on the menu at The Silver Moon. I ordered the surf and turf with Kate, and while we ate, we spoke, laughed, and got to know one another even better.

I was happy that I could treat Kate to such a lovely supper, so when the bill came, I proudly took out my debit card and paid. I grabbed her hand and escorted her out into the darkness as we left the restaurant, feeling appreciative, joyful, and in love. We were both feeling a touch tipsy from the wine we had with dinner as we left The Silver Moon. I called for a vehicle for the two of us, and a few minutes later a sleek black automobile arrived at the curb. As the driver made his way over the twisting roads of Gamia, we stepped into the vehicle, cuddling up next to one another. The stars were glittering in the bright, chilly night sky above them.

I kept thinking how much I wanted her to accompany me back to my apartment while we traveled. I anxiously coughed out the question and worked up the bravery to say it.

I asked Kate, peering into her eyes, "Kate, I was wondering if you'd like to come back to my apartment tonight." "This night has just been so amazing, and I don't want it to stop," the speaker said.

With her eyes a bit fuzzy from the liquor, Kate grinned at me. Yes, John, she said, cuddling up even more. "I'd love to see you again at your home with you."

We tripped a bit when we entered my flat when we got there. We sat down on the sofa together, our bodies pushed close as we conversed, laughed, and touched one other's bodies. I brought Kate there.

Our desire was strong and all-consuming despite the wine we had drunk, and we quickly found ourselves lost in one another. We shared many passionate kisses and eager touches throughout the evening, and when we curled up in one other's arms, we both realized that this was only the start of a wonderful love story.

The next morning when I awoke early, I was happy to find Kate sleeping next to me. I couldn't help but grin as I remembered how I had slept off while holding her. I was even more pleased that the previous night wasn't a full moon because if it had been, I would have been able to bite her, turn her into a werewolf, and shape-shift.

As I was thinking about these things, Kate woke up. When she saw me sleeping next to her, a warm grin lit up her face. My heart flooded with love and thanks as she leaned in and gave me a gentle kiss on the cheek.

I couldn't help but steal a few kisses from Kate after we had a shower in the bathroom, and we spoke while standing in the warm water of the shower about how much we had loved each other's company the night before.

I embraced Kate and said, "Last night was great, Kate. "Never before have I felt this strongly for someone. I believe I am beginning to love you."

Kate looked up at me with a grin on her face and a little flush. She kissed me on the nose and said, "I feel the same way, John." I'm speechless at how fortunate I am to have met you.

We made plans to meet up later that day while we were finishing up our preparations. Kate went out the door, the sun was setting behind her, casting a warm orange glow that made her look even more radiant. I watched her disappear down the winding path, feeling a sense of longing and excitement building within me. But as I turned to finish up my preparations, a dark and ominous cloud appeared on the horizon, sending shivers down my spine. Little did I know that this beautiful sunset would mark the beginning of a storm that would change everything.
