Chapter 49
Four days later, Vanessa was able to persuade the little bun to go to school and mingle with others; make new friends.
Evelyn came to visit and spent time chatting with her bestie.
Vanessa told her about Lisa’s origin but not about Jack being a moon werewolf. Evelyn then decided to travel to the next country for a business tour.
2 days later, Vanessa watched in distress as she saw Jack uneasy in daytime. His temperature was abnormal.
When the moon came out in full, Vanessa flew him to the forest to transform.
His cries of agony pained her. He shredded his clothes to pieces and endured his bones cracking every second.
At a point, he wanted to kill himself as this pain was three times more than whenhe did so in the basement.
“Vanessa, I can’t do this anymore. It hurts too much!”
Crack! Crack!
“Ahhhh!” he screamed.
She wanted to go close to him but he forbade her from doing so.
“I’m naked and… I’m currently hideous. I could even hurt you since you are my bane.”
“I think it’s because I bit you that day.” she said in guilt.
“N… No, it isn’t! My power increases every full moon. The more the power, the more pain I have to eat. I just wasn’t prepared for this kind of pain. Ahhhh!”
“I wish I could help you, Jack.” she said from behind the large tree she hid at.
“You being here to comfort me is enough. Ahh!”
“I… should just let you finish.” she concluded.
“Okay!”
After four long hours, his white wolf completely materialized and it crouched to rest and recover.
Vanessa flew to it and sat beside it.
“Sorry!” she said while touching his fur.
The wolf nodded and rested on her laps. It was very tired as it immediately fell asleep.
She created a flame barrier around them and rested her back on a tree.
The next morning, birds chirping happily woke her up.
She groaned and looked at the still sleeping wolf on her laps.
She placed her hands on his head and patted it gently.
It opened it’s amber red eyes and stared at her.
“Good morning! She greeted and it nodded.
Then left her laps looking embarrassed.
She laughed and flew around to search for fruits that were delicious and edible.
She also caught some game and returned to the spot where they’d passed the night.
She didn’t find Jack there and flew to the river to see him neck deep in the water.
“You…” she couldn’t scold him. His skin was still red.
“Yu transformed in the water?”
“Yup! And I have a fever from yesterday. I wanted to reduce the stress and pain in here. Can you give me my stuff?” he asked.
‘Oh! Here it is,” she placed new set of clothes on a rock and flew back to the spot.
When Jack returned, she offered him fruits and continued roasting the game she caught.
“Vanessa, thank you. Normally, when I shift on the full moon, no one accompanies me. You helped a lot. Thanks.”
“Finish those fruits fast, Mr Jack.”
“Pissed that I didn’t let you see me while shifting? I told you I ws hideous. Nothing to admire on my body at that moment.”
“You… I’m not a pervert!” she said, annoyed.
“Then at the basement that day…” he got silenced as she threw a meat leg at him.
“Hahahaha!” he laughed at her angry face.
“Eat up, wolf!”
“Thanks, dear!”
They returned to Jack’s home after devouring the game.
When they saw Lisa eating alone in the dining room, they apologized.
“No, mummy, daddy. I understand what daddy has to go through on the full moon. I’ve known for some time now. Sorry daddy!” she hugged Jack.
A tear slid down his cheek and he pecked her forehead.
“I love you, Lisa.” he whispered and hugged her back.
“I love you too, daddy.”
Vanessa watched their bonding with a smile.
It made her think of her late father.
*********
Liana and Blake met in a party held by one of her clients. Both were like cats and rats and almost fought.
Her assistant managed to calm both down and let theem eave the venue.
When they came out, Blake stole a kiss from her and escaped causing her to seeth in anger. She really wanted to roast him and eat him alive. Damn it!
She entered her car and sped off leaving the assistant behind.
Her assistant sighed and boarded a taxi home.
Liana returned to her home to see her parents entertaining a guest. Her grandma was showering praises on the guest.
She had a bad feeling in her and walked closer and her car keys fell from her hand together with her red purse.
It was Blake!
How did he get here before her?
Was her eyes playing tricks on her?
Her grandma ran to her and helped her sit on one of the chairs.
“My child, you have indeed fulfilled your promise. You brought home a man. Handsome and tall as your late grandpa. Ahh, I feel so blessed. I can’t wait to carry your babies. Good job, my daughter. Good job!” Grandma patted her back heavily which didn’t affect Liana and gave her two thumbs up.
Liana sighed and looked at Blake who stared at her like she was already his.
“Miss, I kept my promise. And I brought a wonderful proposal to your family and I was welcomed. Your family is very nice. I’m so envious.” he said and she looked away as if that would make him disappear.
“Liana, we’ll leave you two to chat and have a good time. Make sure to tell us when you’ll be buying a wedding dress. I’d sure love to help you out.” said her mom.
“Sis, brother-in-law is handsome, mary him.” said her brother.
“He brought me chocolate. He’s very generous and a good man.” said her sister.
“My daughter, I feel so emotional. Finally, you are getting married and will bring me grandchildren. I’m so lucky.”
“You… You all gang up with him to bully me, your descendant and family member? Seriously! What did he bribe you with.” she raged.
“Err… A promise to hold your hands till old age?” Grandma said and they left looking amused at her misery.
“You lot, just you wait! I’m coming for you. I won’t spare any of you.” her chest heaved up and down.
When they left, she turned to look at Blake who was watching her like a piece of candy that fell from heaven.
“My lady, do you know how tempting you are? A saint like me is led to abandon my life of celibacy.” he said with a husky voice.
“Calling you honey is not enough. You are better than the sweetest honey. Your smell, your prescence, your very soul makes me enchanted. Give me a chance to…” he couldn’t complete his words coz Liana suddenly jumped at him.
He stood up in defense and blocked her incoming blow.
“Let’s fight. The loser has to obey whatever the winner says.” she proposed.
“K! Fine by me!” he easily agreed and they went to the pool to fight.
“The one who falls in the pool loses.”she said.
“Fine by me!” Blake agreed.
While they were fighting, her family peeped and exclaimed in shock.
“My grandchild is a super woman?” grandma nearly exclaimed loud but was silenced by the others.
“Shush! We just know for the first time too. Eric, make a video of them.” Liana’s dad said.
Soon, Blake fell into the pool and Liana was glad that she won; only to be dragged into the pool by Blake.
“You…” she was at a loss for words when she surfaced.
“You are still the winner but that doesn’t make me a loser either. We are both in the pool. Want another round?”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Forget it!” she said and stormed off after getting out of the pool.
Blake chuckled behind her.
“Liana’s family, You can stop hiding now.” he said and climbed out of the pool.
“Hehe. My in-law, come let grandma look at you again.” grandma was the first to leave the hiding spot.
“Brother-in-law, you are so cool!” the little girl yelled in excitement. “Can you teach me? So I can punch all those gross boys in class and show them who’s the boss.”
“Dear, you are too young. But I’ll teach you a few tricks. hat do you say?”
“Yay!” she exclaimed.
“Grandma, do you mind me passing the night here. My home is quite far.”
“Oh, of course!” grandma immediately agreed.
“You can even stay here even for a year till the wedding day.” Liana’s dad said and Blake chuckled.
Liana on reaching her room, hugged her hamster pillow to sleep.
Her plushies were the best.
Thus began the story of Blake chasing his soon to be wife who wouldn’t give in no matter what.
