Chapter 8
On seeing that there was no hope of seeing Mirabel that night and no hope of finding a place to lay her head that night, she resorted to the last option she had which was going home to meet the man who had “ruined” her life at least he wouldn’t hurt her in her state and that’s the only place she can find a bed to sleep off her problems maybe when she wakes up it will all turn out to be one big nightmare.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
She got to her Dorm and found Audrey reading “Little fires everywhere”, which happened to be one of her most favorite novels in this world.
” Out of the books in this world it had to be the one she loved the most that he had to be reading,” She thought. At that point she wanted to bawl her eyes out and scream at the top of her voice because it seemed the universe had this all planned out. She had two options either bailing out on him again and leaving him to face the cold alone or summoning her courage for the second time and walking up to him, telling and yelling at him to get out of his life.
But she couldn’t bring herself to do either of the two, so she just stood there and watched him. At that point she thought that her life would make more sense if she knew him from afar and it wouldn’t be so complicated as it is now.
She stood there admiring how handsome and smart he looked, she made sure he wouldn’t notice her presence. All she felt while watching him from afar was peace.
She finally summoned up all courage and walked up to him even if her mind and body wasn’t willing to obey her, she couldn’t imagine what would make her get drawn to a werewolf, a very creepy and mythical creature.
She had been called many things by her mother throughout her lifetime but she never thought for once that werewolf would be among the things she would become.
She ignored everything telling her not to walk up to Audrey and did it.
Immediately she got to him, she thought maybe it was a bad Idea after all trying to have a conversation with him, she tried running away again but this time she was held by him.
“Stephanie” he grabs my hand preventing me from escaping again, “You’ve already run away from me twice, you wouldn’t have shown up if you didn’t need some explanations”.
“This idiot was right,” she thought. How did he know so much about her and could explain what she was thinking, he was a werewolf after all they were supposed to have some imaginary powers and things like that.
Deep in her heart she needed explanations, she knew she had become a werewolf too because she already started behaving like one, her sense of smell had heightened by far, she already knew Audrey was in her place without even seeing him. She hadn’t seen his mother, father and brother physically but she already knew how they smelled.
So she knew she had turned into a werewolf but she didn’t want to believe it. She didn’t think she was ready for that life or that her life would change in an instant.
In a way her life changed because she had to leave everything she was doing in Boston and came to New York. But that change of moving from a human to a werewolf was one big one she wasn’t ready for.
She opened the door and they both walked into her room. A deafening silence came upon them immediately as they entered the room as no one said anything to each other.
Audrey broke the silence by saying the most stupid thing ever.
“You look cute when angry” He said and chuckled
This angered Stephanie so much she couldn’t hold it in, immediately she snapped.
“You ruined my life and the next thing you could say this” she said out of anger, “You know no one in my family knows about me falling in love with a werewolf talkless of being one itself”, ” How am I supposed to explain to everyone about the sudden change, what am i supposed to do” , ” What if I fail at being a good werewolf “, ” You never asked me what I wanted to be, you just felt you could bite on me and turn me into your puppy” She shouted.
All the while she was ranting, Audrey sat there looking at her, he wanted her to pour out her whole heart before talking. He knew her bursting out would somehow make her feel good instead of bottling up the whole emotions inside of her.
He looked at her while she kept on shouting and crying, at the moment she broke down he wanted to hug her and tell her all is well, that she could figure everything out, together they would figure everything out.
After she calmed down he called out to her .
“Hey” he smiled at her, she smirked his giving his usual smile knowing fully well everything the smile does to her, she felt that tingly sensation she usually feels when she’s around him. He stepped back not wanting to feel anything at that point, she was supposed to be mad at him not the other way round.
He then chuckled and held her hand “I’m sorry” he said.
She didn’t know what to make of the apology, sorry couldn’t actually change things to how they were before and certainly sorry wouldn’t make up for all the tears she had cried.
“I’m sorry for not telling you sooner about my real identity,” he continued.
“I’m sorry if I allowed you to fall in love with me even if It was a hard decision for you to consider your past”
“I’m sorry for making my mark on you and for turning you into something you didn’t want to be” He continued.
His apology seemed sincere but she was not sure she was ready to accept that apology.
He led her on and made her think he was the Prince charming that was coming to save her.
He kept saying sorry for so many things but she didn’t want to hear any of it, she wanted to know the way forward. What would happen to her and how was she supposed to live her life? Those were the questions she needed answers to not the faux apology he was giving to her because deep down he knew what he was doing that’s why he bit her before telling her he had turned her into a werewolf.
At this point she had mixed feelings, she loved him but really wanted to kill him on the spot, he had uprooted her whole life once again, she didn’t know what to make of the life again, but she knew she needed him to navigate through this new life with her, she needed to be taught so many things that’s why she haven’t shot him yet. She laughed as she pondered these things and wondered if she was going crazy thinking about killing somebody.
She then asked him, “What do we do now”. SEARCH FOR LOVE
