LEONA'S POV I turned my head to Darren. He was looking at me too. Stunned. My nose was catching all the scent. Was it next door? Did Darren smell it too? How come?" "Ah, I forgot the soy sauce. I'll get it," I said as an alibi and went to the kitchen. "Can you also get the spicy one, please?" Sophie's afterword.In the kitchen, I sniffed the air. It was so close. I wanted to go out and find it, but Darren was acting strange. How come he smelled it? Unlike werewolves, who have heightened senses, humans don't have that ability. One of the many things I developed living with them.I took the soy sauce and hot sauce. But I couldn't focus. My senses were so active. "Oh, God! He's close by," I went to the laundry room and sniffed around. Then I suddenly heard something by the balcony. I rushed outside the balcony to check it out, but I was anxious seeing Darren there. "Darren! What are you doing here?" "Air. I need some fresh air. What about you?" Darren answered calmly, but his eye
DARREN’S POV“What’s wrong?! Sophie?” Leona immediately came hearing her aback. “Darren’s eyes, I mean Sir Darren’s eyes changed color. It turned amber,” Sophie explained pointing her hands on me. “So? There are persons who change eye colors. What’s new?” Leona shrugged. I breath in relief. That was close. “Yeah, but it looks like it was glowing.”“Maybe the light reflected in my eyes?” I countered quickly. “Never mind,” Sophie got beaten, but that was so close. I should be careful next time and shut my eyes rather. Leona asked for my head. I almost forgot that I pretended to have a migraine. I immediately shook my head and lay back. Pretending to get dizzy. But that scratch I heard, it didn’t came from a cat. I am sure it came from the next door. “Leona, ahh…do you have any vacant unit here? I want to buy one. It’s a good investment and I like the area.”“The next door was vacant before we went to Italy for the photo shoot. But someone’s occupying it now. I will let you know w
LEONA'S POV "Shhh." Darren slowly opens the door. "Don't go out," I mouthed, but Darren was curious, "Dammit!"I exclaimed quietly and went out. We heard a clanking sound of metal. It was the door lock. A breaking sound followed. I figured already that it was the vase near the door. Darren rushed to the living room. I was about to grab his shirt to stop him, but he was fast. It took me by surprise. I followed him. The main door was open. I ran out quickly and saw Darren chasing a guy heading to the stairs. "Shit! Darren!" I chase him. When I got to the stairs, they were already far and on their way to the rooftop. I ran fast and used the ability I learned from my pack. Darren caught the guy and grappled with him. He wanted to remove his mask to see his face, but the guy fought back."Darren!" I called. "Go back inside!" Darren turned to me. The guy found a way to escape and, kicked him, proceeded to the rooftop. Darren didn't stop and pursue him.DARREN'S POVI wanted to see his
"Fuck! That was close!" Scott left his apartment and went into the woods. After jumping off the building, he shifted and broke into the apartment on the next floor. Luckily, the owner wasn't there. He stayed for a while after shifting back and running away. "I want to know who's that guy. I can smell his wolf."Scott ran off, sensing Darren was still around the building. He knows he can smell him and will chase him again. He would have caught Leona and taken her back to Victoria. LEONA'S POV Tyler came to my place with Darren's clothes. He went to Darren's house and told Madam Sonia he was with me and needed some clothes. She was ecstatic upon hearing it and called."Leona, dear, I just heard Darren is with you until now. Your dad and I are happy knowing you both get along well.""Yes, mom. His migraine attack, so I let him stay. I didn't want to let him drive home with his condition," I need to get used to calling her mom. She would constantly reprimand me to call her Madam. "Mig
DARREN'S POV"Mom! What are you talking about?" I feel embarrassed with my mom. Leona went to the kitchen and grabbed some water to drink. Her face was red as a tomato. "I was just stating facts here. Look, you slept with Leona. What comes next?" Mom glared at me, "Babies!" "Oh, God, stop. Mom, it's not what you think, okay? Nothing happens. Right, Leona?" Leona nodded, drinking two glasses of water already. "Seriously?" Mom looks upset. Her lips loose as Leona nod, "Dammit, son! You're too slow!" Dad whistled, "That's the first.""Okay, let's change the subject. I don't want to hear about it."Dad gave me a frown face and was about to speak up. "Don't push it, dad," I held up my palms. He immediately backed off and continued eating. Tyler and Sophie's eyes shone with astonishment. I glanced at Leona. Her face went back to its normal color. Next time, I should start making moves to seal what my parents think about us. Moving forward, mom and dad spent their day at Leona's apart
DARREN'S POVI'm glad Leona likes her new apartment. I personally chose the place. The road was passable, going to our house. I can check on her every day and easily come for any emergency. My parents love the area too. It was accessible to the highway and easy to find. Mom was planning to invite her into the house more often. She and dad were very excited, thinking we were getting along well. But talking about babies was still early, especially since we were not married yet. Out engagement is on the way. Until then, I still had to work on lifting my curse, and Rupert was still tailing the witch, and I hadn't heard from him for days. "Cora, did Rupert call?" I asked Rupert's mom. I am worried. His phone was out of reach. This isn't him."He did yesterday. That boy rented a house near the so-called witch. He was watching her round the clock. I was supposed to tell you, but you didn't come home yesterday.""He rented there? At the suburb? Why didn't he call me?""Darren, I told him. B
DARREN'S POVI rushed to the address Rupert gave me. The house he rented was across the street. The second house to the left. He had a good sight of the witch from where he's at. He's got the telescope he used to spy on her everyday. I knocked at the door, but Rupert didn't answer. I peeked out the window, but no one was at home. "Where on earth is that guy?" I was about to call him when I saw him came out of the witch's home. He waves at me."You're here. Come on!" "What are you doing? Did you sneak into her house again? Rupert, I swear….""Relax. I just helped her throw the garbage.""So, you're friends with her now?" "Ahhh, slight. But I told her about you, and she's willing to listen."Listen? I furrowed my brows. Instead, he urged me to follow him, and I did. She was in the kitchen when we entered her house."Mariko, this is Darren. My….”"The werewolf," Mariko answered, cutting Rupert off. She was calm now and friendly. Rupert did make progress here and persuaded her mind. M
DARREN'S POVI rushed into Mariko's house. Rupert was waiting for me by the door when I arrived. He showed me the secret room and the bedroom. Mariko's clothes and potions are gone. Everything else was intact. "Fuck!" I let out a thunderous roar. "Ah, Darren," Rupert stood there in fear. I was supposed to ask him why, but my words came out barking. When I looked at my hands, they became claws, and my clothes were on the floor, ripped apart. I quickly faced the mirror and saw myself turned into a werewolf. Shocked, I scratched the mirror and broke it. What was happening to me? I don't shift when it is not a full moon, but how did it happen? I turned around to hide my face from Rupert. He hasn't seen my wolf yet, and I don't want to scare him. "Bro, it's okay. I've seen it before. I just didn't tell you."Huh? He saw me? Fuck! Okay, calm down self. Think about how I am going to shift back to being a human. Usually, after the full moon, my body shifts back on its own. Now, how am I s
