Chapter 8
THORM’S POV
After I picked up my belongings in the bedroom I immediately went out, I knew Rebecca was not comfortable sleeping with me. After I took a shower I immediately sat down on the sofa and turned on the tv.
In recent days I have noticed some changes in me, not because I knew I was married but because I knew I was going to have children too.
I was excited to wake up every day as if eager to see Rebecca. I knew we had known each other for only a short time, but I was very relieved. Every time she smiles it seems to have a powerful effect it has on me.
I can’t help but wonder if she feels the same way about me?
C’mon Thorm what’s on your mind?
Am I crazy already?
I know that mom and Tyron are not comfortable with Rebeca, they keep saying that they don’t trust Rebeca because they are not sure that this werewolf has a breed.
One thing that I want to do is to prove that Rebeca has a werewolf race. But how?
I didn’t know either if she had a werewolf race. But I like her, the way she talks, moves and her personality. I had never dreamed of getting married before but when I met her, I started to get excited to be a father.
I just grab a beer and go back to the sofa to watch tv.
Less than an hour into my watching I felt a strange presence outside. I immediately turned off the tv and felt the outside. To my knowledge mom, dad and Tyron are already asleep.
I immediately turned off the television and slowly walked toward the door. I could feel their presence. I turned the door nub and exited. I looked around and a few more minutes passed and suddenly two black werewolves appeared in my sight.
Allan and Jero. Why are Tyron’s friends here?
“Why are you here? We have a visitor and she might see you,” I said immediately.
“We’re just here to visit Tyron. Is he here now?” Allan asked.
“He’s upstairs now resting, if you want I’ll just let him know you’re here tonight. I’m worried because our guest doesn’t know our true identity yet. I don’t want her to see you in that look,” I said.
“Then we’ll go first, we can hope to get to Tyron that we’re here. Thank you.” That’s it and they started to leave. I looked around before finally going inside.
I also watched television for a few hours before thinking of going to sleep.
Just a few hours after I fell asleep I felt someone coming down the stairs. The smell of her blood was familiar and I’m sure it was Rebeca.
I let her feel my presence approaching my habit. I pretended to be asleep, she stayed for a few seconds and I was suddenly surprised when she suddenly arranged my blanket for me.
I swallowed hard, a few seconds later she went to the kitchen, maybe she drank water. A few seconds also faded and she was back on top.
When I felt that she had walked away, I opened my eyes. I stared at the ceiling as if out of myself. I slowly grabbed my blanket and hugged it.
I stared at the ceiling for a few minutes and shook before thinking of going to sleep.

FLORINE’S POV
“Are you sure about your decision?” I stopped putting my clothes in my luggage when suddenly someone spoke behind me. I slowly turned to see who it was.
“Warren, why are you here?” I wondered. He didn’t answer and sat down next to me.
“You’re not answering my question,” he said and stared at me seriously.
“I can handle myself.”
“I know you can handle yourself, but aren’t you afraid you might get hurt?” trace in the tone of his speech the concern. We treat each other like siblings. Since mom and dad died in a war he has been my family.
“I’m not going to do it for me, I’m doing it for mom and dad,” I replied. He knows my whole story, the painful story of my life.
I stared at the picture of mom and dad for a moment. A few years ago the most painful part of my life happened.
// FLASHBACK //
It was dark all around and a downpour of rain was coming. The enveloping silence around was frightening. We are now in the middle of the forest with mom and dad, we are also with our other colleagues. If I’m not mistaken it’s like we’re waiting for something so we haven’t progressed yet.
“Dad, why aren’t we making progress yet?” taking my question while holding mom’s hand.
Dad just smiled as he stared at me. A few seconds later a man approached him and whispered something secretly. I saw dad’s expression change. He was staring at mom seriously and it looked like he was signaling something.
“Tell our comrades to get ready,” said dad. The man he was talking to nodded and immediately went to the rest of us. Suddenly dad and mom knelt in front of me. Mom held my two hands while dad and he held my cheek.
‘Florine, my dear daughter. Always remember that we love you so much,” mom said tenderly. Tears welled up in her eyes.
“You will always remember that we are always here by your side, we will watch over you,” Dad said. Wondering and in what they say, based on their words they even surpass the informant. My mind was confused and didn’t know why they would say these words to me.
‘Mom… Dad, what are you saying. I’m confused,” I asked, but instead of answering they just stared. I was even more confused when they suddenly hugged me. I heard mom sobbing and I knew they were crying.
I can’t understand why they are like this, I am gradually feeling sad because of their tears.
“Take care of yourself Florine,” Dad said as they both let go of my hug. It was as if a strange feeling suddenly entered my heart. At the same time they both let go of me it was like that was the last time they hugged me.
“They are here!” All attention was turned to a man when he suddenly cried out. Most of us noticed the change in their expression because of what they heard, most have traces of fear on their faces.
“Florine takes care of yourself,” Dad repeated.
“Rax, you take care of my son,” mom turned to a man. The man mom was talking to immediately changed his appearance.
Many more questions in my mind but I was no longer able to ask them because dad had already picked me up and put me on the back of the black werewolf.
Suddenly my car started running. Mom and dad even waved as they cried.
‘MOM! DAD! ” I shouted as I watched their behavior. I don’t know why they were left behind as I walked away from them. It was as if a war would break out because of their actions.
I just felt like I kept crying while holding Rax’s fur.
// END OF FLASHBACK //
I know the reason why mom and dad left me in that place back then. Rax had already told the whole incident.
I don’t know if mom and dad and the rest of us were still alive then because until now we haven’t seen them again. As the years go by my hopes of seeing them again diminish. The only thing I hold on to now is revenge.
“Nothing can change my mind Warren, you know why I do this,” I told Warren.
‘If that is your decision, I will support you. I’m just always here when you need me.”
I just nodded at him. I finally ended up packing as well, today is Tyron and I’s scheduled meeting.
I can’t understand why destiny deliberately brought our paths together. Maybe the galaxy is already joining me.
I am about to take my revenge on mom and dad.
You can taste the wrath of a Florine. Get ready Xenon Family.
