Chapter 19: Chapter 19

—The Werewolf Boy

Marco POV

I feel bored staying every day in my cave house. I am praying that somebody will go lost and stumbled in my place. I am looking for a friend or company. Since the King captured some of my packs and keep them under the dungeon inside his palace, I'm always going on hunting alone without them. It's been one hundred years but I still haven't found my mate.

I hope she's wandering out there and we will accidentally bump from each other. I bit my lower lip while thinking about what will happen to us if our wolves mate with each other.

"Besame, Besame mucho!"  I was buzzing with myself as I am approaching my house.

I was too busy with my song when noticed that my door wasn't in his proper position. I always knew if an intruder came because I always closed it tightly but this time it was half-opened. I was wondering who came into my house without my permission.

I slowly pushed my door and to my surprise, I saw a woman, a beautiful young woman who was peacefully sleeping on my bed. She looks like she works at the palace. I looked around if she was alone and I am right.

" Who is this girl?" I whispered to myself.

Suddenly, as I was getting closer to her, I smelled strong energy coming from her soul. Maybe, I was only dreaming but nope, my eyes were opened wide. I pinch my face and it hurts. I was wide awake and in my normal state. I can't tell what I truly felt at this moment but her smell was very strong to resist.y wolf is telling me.

"I think I found my mate!" I mumbled as she began to stretch her body.

Finally, she appeared first after many years. I never thought that I can find her and here she is lying in front of me. I patiently waited until she finally opens her eyes.

"What--the---holy Christ! Who are you? Are you a rapist?" the beautiful maiden suspect me.

She rattled in front of me.

I quickly shook my hands at her. She's accusing me that I'm planning on taking advantage of her? I think I'm the victim here. I crossed my arms and crossed my brows. I made a deep sigh.

"Are you accusing me but you are throne who sneak in like a thief and sleep in my house!" My eyes glared at her seriously. I just want to scare her because she sounded like an arrogant brat.

She immediately gets off from my head and scratches her neck with a half-smile on her face. I guess she realizes what she did.

"Ahm, sorry! I don't know that someone is living here! It looks like an abandoned cave for me!" She said refusing her eyes to stare at me.

I chuckled.

"Now you know!" I replied.

She fixed herself and was about to walk out of my place but I quickly grab her arms. She turned around and clasp my hands from her arms.

"Let me go! Sorry for the inconvenience!" There was a sternness in her voice. I guess she's mad now.

I sneered at her. I loosened my grip on her arms and smiled at her.

"I'm just kidding! Are you scared?" I asked her and I saw that she got pissed at what I did.

"Moron!" She mocked me.

Let me see if you're still brave enough when you will encounter the wild animals in the forest. I have a plan.

As I accompanied her with my eyes, a bright idea came into my mind.

Anika as Ariana POV

I can't believe I found a guy like him. I guess he's another shadow of Karl. He's a liar and a traitor. I thought he will help me found the way out to this crazy place. He plans to sell me to the King but I'm still lucky, I found his dark agenda ahead of time, or else I'm now like a lowlife concubine in the palace. Over my dead body. I am Anika Perez in the modern world and no one lay hands on my bare skin even Jerick. I'm still a virgin when he left me. That bastard, I wish he's dead now.

As I was busy cursing Karl and Jerick, on my way to the wilderness, I heard a soft growl behind the bushes. I frowned and walked slowly to survey where the sounds came from. I felt a little uneasy especially when the dude I encountered a while ago warned me about some feral creatures strolling around the forest. I pressed my chest to ease the sudden sounds of my heartbeat abnormally. I can't use my transformation here but I had no choice. I recalled what the genie instructed us if someone dies during the mission, our souls won't be back to our original body and we will stay in the place we have forever. I won't allow it to happen.

As the growls became stronger and louder, I prepared myself to transform but it doesn't make sense. I can't do it. In my time, I can shifts to my werewolf body anytime but this girl's body won't.

I had no choice but to run faster and keep running until the growling sounds disappeared.

"Help! Help! Somebody, please help me! Someone is attacking me!" I was like a dash in running. I am catching my breath until I stumbled on the dried trunks. To my surprise, thick rope envelopes on my toes and pulled my body up from the ground. I think I touch a trap.

"Help!" I was like a dead pig hanging in the supermarket.

As I look down, I saw a guy who looks familiar to me. It's a guy who owns a cave house and the one who warned me about this forest. I feel relieved when I saw him. He's right, it's dangerous here.

"See, I told you, you will need my help!" He shouted at me with his loud voice.

Marco POV

"If she's my mate, why didn't shifts into a werewolf?" I whispered to myself as I transform myself back to human again.
