Chapter 29-Ryan’s POV ( human)
I sat in my dark room staring at the Wolf constellation as it looked back at me.
It had been intense, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to it than just a simple argument.
All I wanted from Rose was a distraction from my hyper active emotions.
An outlet for my heat.
It seemed like her return to my life was about to upset the harmony of all my routines. Sherry… Sherizad, whatever.
I sat there and began to think about the night with Rose . I hadn’t missed the way Sherry had looked at me when I came home with her. It made me wonder if she was truly jealous.
But why would she be jealous? It was not like she had already fallen in love with me or anything.
The only feeling she harnessed towards me was hatred.
Besides it was not like I had any feelings for Rose . She was just someone that I had hired for the night just like I had hired Sherry that day.
What was going on inside Sherry’s head?
Or was it me that was overreacting?
But then again, there was that look in her eyes. It was almost as if she was hurt by what I had done. Did she really have feelings for me? Was I being blind to something that was right in front of me?
I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts. This was all too confusing. I needed to clear the last ounce of doubt in my head and then restart everything with Sherry, again.
The last test that would make me believe that she was really, just a human with her face.
Maybe then we could finally put this whole mess behind us and move on.
I called my most trusted men and asked them to arrange for some Wolf’s Bane.
I asked them to prepare a parcel containing Wolf’s Bane and plant it at my bar. My plan was to use the plant to determine if Sherry was truly human or not.
I trusted my minions to carry out this task with precision and care, ensuring that the Wolf’s Bane was planted in the right location and that Sherry was exposed to it at the appropriate time. I planned to be watching closely, ready to act if necessary.
I watched her after she received my call. I could see her hesitate for a moment, sensing that something was wrong.
I was half worried she would skip the command without picking the parcel up.
But she quickly dismissed the feeling and helped me by moving the box, brushing against the Wolf’s Bane in the process. To my surprise, she showed no reaction, revealing that she was indeed human.
I felt a sense of relief wash over me as I realized again that Sherry was trustworthy and would keep our secret safe. It wasn’t like I was not sure from her scent that she was human. But it was better to double check.
She was not my she-wolf . She was just her face. Which brought back a sense of guilty indulgence in my veins. As Alpha, it was my duty to protect my pack from any potential threats, and I knew that Sherry was not one of them. She was no Sherizad so I was definitely not repeating history like Beck had accused me of, earlier.
It was a bittersweet satisfaction.
I could not believe that I was actually happy at not finding my Sherizad.
Was I finally prepared to say my goodbye.
Sherizad and I never had our closure.
It always felt like she was only a bloodbath away from myself.
Ever since Sherizad, women started feeling only like a toilet which I used to let out my overriding sperms.
It was going nice and smooth in that way till Sherry came along.
I closed my eyes and let out a deep breath.
And like always memories came flooding back to me. Memories of my Sherizad.
We were living in a world where our kind was feared and hunted and worshiped, all at the same time. . But we didn’t care. As long as we were together, we were happy.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
I remember the times I saw her. She was beautiful, with long hair and piercing brown eyes. I was instantly drawn to her.
“Who are you?” I had asked, as I approached her.
Her voice was like music to my ears.
We talked for hours , about everything and nothing. And it was never boring. We enjoyed each other’s company so much that we were inseparable.
I remembered the night we did our first fun transformation together. We ran through the forest, howling at the moon. It was exhilarating, and I felt free like never before.
“Do you feel it?” Sherizad had asked, as we ran side by side.
“I feel alive,” I replied, laughing.
And then she kissed me, right there in the middle of the forest. It was a kiss that was about to change my life forever.
A kiss so passionate, so intense it still got my feelings stirred when I remembered its after taste.
We fought side by side, defending our pack against the humans who would try to harm us. And every time we were victorious, we celebrated together.
“Do you think we’ll ever be able to live in peace?” I asked her one night, as we lay together under the stars.
“I don’t know,” she said, snuggling closer to me. “But as long as we have each other, I don’t really care.”
