Chapter 34: His truth


    Celia


    I woke up to some groaning and something poking near my core. I am still not wearing my panties and


    my ck nightie has roden up a little bit and got collected around my waist. Without caring about it, I


    snuggle back into the hard body of Chris. It felt good to have him around me. My movement caused his


    hardness between my legs to rub against my core, I moaned.


    He tightened his grip around me and drew a hard breath on my shoulder, sensing him awake, I turned


    around and kissed his lips softly. He moved us and got above me. He deepened the kiss and I got a


    hold of his head and pulled him close. I pulled away only to remove my nightie and get back to his lips


    again. I got my legs wrapped around his hips to bring each part in contact. He bit my lips lightly and I


    opened my mouth to give him the entrance. His one hand was caressing the side of my waist while the


    other hand was squeezing and massaging my breasts. I moaned loudly against his mouth with his dick


    poking in my belly. I wanted all of him right now. I sent my one hand between us and positioned him at


    my entrance myself when he groaned and pulled away. He got above with his weight on his hand,


    feeling the air against my skin and missing his warmth. Finally, I opened my eyes in confusion to see


    him frowning and hovering above me.


    “We can’t do this.” Seeing him standing in front of me and hearing those words reminded me ofst


    night, brought me back to reality. My legs released his body and my eyes diverted to somewhere else.


    He moved and got to his side of the bed and started wearing his boxers and pants. I also got my nightie


    and pulled it above my head and then pulled it down to cover myself with something.


    “Last time I remember, you slept with your pants on.”


    “I felt hot under the nket and got rid of them at midnight. I am sorry, you felt ufortable.” He was


    hurt and seeing him like this hurts me. I want to go to him and put my head on his hard chest, hear his


    heartbeat, calm him andy down with him beside me. I want to forget what I sawst night and how


    terrified I was with it but I can’t. His face reminds me of that wolf. It reminds me of the wolf living inside


    him and him being a monster.


    He went out without looking my way and went inside the bathroom grabbing my clothes on the way to


    get a cold shower. I came out wearing a blue extra size full sleeves t-shirt and ck sweatpants


    covering every skin of my body except my face and feet. I looked at my reflection in the mirror which


    had puffy eyes due to immense crying in the shower. I don’t know how long I was in the bathroom


    crying my eyes out on my ill fate. I carried my phone on my way out to the living room.


    I was reading everyone’s wishes and replying to them with the sweetest messages I could think of. I


    stopped on my way, when I saw him standing in my kitchen serving the food. I think he ordered food


    this early in the morning. I decided not to eat from his order and prepare breakfast myself.


    “You can eat this, you know I can’t cook and no diner will sent this early, so Mary sent us.” I tried to


    refuse but my stomach betrayed me. I went to the dining table and started eating the te he served


    me. It was only then, it struck me like a lightening, does his family know about him being a werewolf.


    Does Mary know about it, does Jeanne do?


    “Does your family know?” I didn’t realise when the words left my mouth. He looked up from his te


    and chuckled. I didn’t crack a joke, why is heughing? I red at him and he tried to stop and drank a


    ss of water.


    “They’re a part of my pack. They are werewolves too.” Hearing his words, I choked on my food. I


    served myself water ignoring the ss he was offering me. I gulped down the whole ss of water.


    The realisation hit me that whole this time I was living with werewolves, hanging out with them. I was


    with them this whole time and was unaware of the fact that they are dangerous werewolf monsters.


    ‘Are they really dangerous Celia? If they wanted you would have been dead by now while you slept in


    their house. Think Celia, think.’


    The thought was enough to stop me breathing, I forgot to breathe and sat there still without any


    movement. I didn’t hear Chris calling my name or felt him shaking me until he threw water on my face


    and I restored my senses and was left panting. I tried to breathe when Chris rubbed my back and tried


    to calm down. I hugged him back and matched my breathing pace to his. Hearing his heartbeat always


    calmed me down, it was rxing to know I have him beside me until the realisation hit me and I


    remember a new truth revealed to me.


    “I think you will take some time to let it sink in.” He whispered in my ears after I regained my normal


    breathing. I pulled back from the hug and got back in my seat while he returned to his own. “Don’t you


    have any other questions besides that one? Usually people talk a lot when they get to know about this.”


    “You tell every girl you fuck about your abnormality.” He frowned, I know he didn’t like my statement, it


    was more like a question because I want to know if I am the only one or he shares this matter with


    others also.


    “No human knows this truth except you in this town and I would prefer if you also keep your mouth


    shut.” He said through his gritted teeth. His eyes were zing fire, I shifted in my seat ufortably.


    He has never been this angry in front of me, even when he beat the shit of Harris back in the club or at


    the party.


    Seeing me ufortable because of him, he shook his head and apologized. “Try and understand, no


    one in the world knows about our existence except a few… whom we trust more than our life.” Hisst


    words made me look at him in his eyes. He was sincere, his eyes were filled with love, care, trust, pride


    and nervousness. Trust me I want to trust him back but I can’t bring myself too close to him. It feels like


    he will turn into that smoking white wolf any moment and I will be dead next moment.


    “Why do you hide your existence?”


    He took my hand from the table and held it tightly in his both hands. I tried to pull it back but as he put


    his forehead down at our hands tangled I stopped. I couldn’t pull it back and hurt him knowing he is


    already hurt with my reaction to his truth but I can’t help it if I am scared of his reality.


    “We’re born werewolves. There are many packs all across the world in different regions. We all are


    living hiding our identity, our truth. A very few humans know of our existence, mostly are partners of a


    shifter. There are other shifters too werefoxes, weretigers, werebears, witches and vampires. There are


    even mythological folks and lores indicating our presence... Our records, I mean books, say that a few


    centuries back, humans were aware of our presence, they knew we existed but when they started


    exploiting our powers and performinging different experiments upon shifters. We felt threatened...” He


    cleared his throat and I pushed a ss of water in his direction, he took it and gulped down the whole


    ss before continuing. “We felt threatened and they left after destroying their whole viges overnight


    with just a few people left behind dead sometimes to make humans believe we all vanished from earth.


    Later, we set up our world again but silently. We never trusted humans again until we trusted them with


    our life.” He smiled at me and I know he trusts me with his life. I smiled back.


    I might be afraid of his reality, his one part while I love the other but I am sure I will never break his trust


    whether I stay in his life or not. But his reality will go with me from this world.


    We stayed like that for sometime before my phone rang and broke our moment. I took the phone from


    my side and looked at the caller id. It was Jeanne. I remember now, I had my whole day nned with


    Mary and Jeanne who are apparently werewolves like Chris. Do I still want to spend time with them,


    can I still hang out with them without freaking out?


    I looked up at Chris and let it ring thinking what to do.


    “Chris, I need sometime to sink in, think about it. I need to… I need to think if I still want to be with you.


    If I want all this.” His eyes fell down, he felt like his heart broke in a thousand pieces. I don’t want to


    hurt but I can’t be with him right now. I need to think and I want him away for that. I need him to leave, I


    want some space without him distracting me.


    He got up and went to the couch where his shirt is still lying on the single seat sofa beside my panty


    fromst night. Remembering the scenes fromst night on that very couch where we both came twice


    for each other, my cheeks heated up and I am sure I was red as an apple. He turned while buttoning


    his shirt and suddenly looked up at me catching me off guard ogling at his insanely sexy body. He


    smirked and continued buttoning his shirt. I got up from my seat and walked up to the front of the dining


    table and stood there holding the table behind me.


    He walked up to me with the box in his hand. He opened it up in front of me and pulled out the ring


    while he looked at it and smiled. Last night, I was so frightened that I forgot he actually opened up to


    me so he could propose to me but now all is ruined and I didn’t look at the ring he bought for me. I


    looked down and found a beautiful small ruby with small diamonds studded around it. It was beautiful, I


    bit my lower lip thinking what he was going to do next.


    “Dad bought this ring for Mom when he proposed to her. She is no more but I always held this ring


    close to me thinking of it as her love and now I want you to have it as her blessings.” I don’t know if he


    really wants me to wear his mother’s ring but right now, I can’t. Before he could hold my hand and slide


    it in my finger, I pulled it back.


    “I can’t wear it right now. She might not like it if I wear it now. I will ask what is rightfully mine when I am


    ready. Hold it till then.” He smiled and I am happy he understood my feelings, my fears and kept the


    ring back in the box and box in his pocket.


    “Open the windows, Little might smell me here even after I leave.” I frowned, not understanding what


    he meant but he continued. “We have sharp senses.” Hesmiled and left. As soon as he passed through


    the door and closed it behind him, my phone rang again, this time I picked it up.


    “Hey, birthday girl, wake up already. We need to go to the spa, remember vampires don’t sleep.” I


    yawned before speaking, indicating I just woke up.


    “Hello, I am not sure if I cane. I think I have a fever. My body is aching too much. I don’t think I can


    “What? Its your birthday and you fall sick. How bad luck can it be? Did you check your temperature?


    Leave it, I aming myself. You just rest.”


    “No, you don’t ne...”


    “Oh shut up already, I am on my way. You just get up to open the door when Ie.” She hung up after


    that and I stared at the ck screen of my phone before realising she is on her way and I need to open


    the windows as Chris said, change back into night clothes, clean up the dishes and make the


    apartment look normal. I even have to stabilize myself. They are werewolves, they will sense when


    something is wrong, she might even kill me when she finds out about my affair with Chris.


    I moved quickly and prepared my apartment for their visit. I can’t afford J to know about our


    rtionship. And since I still don’t know what to expect from this rtionship and what I can give in to


    it, I don’t think letting her know or even hinting at her is a good option. I opened my windows and


    sprayed air freshener in the whole apartment as well. Maybe it can help, he said they have high


    senses. Shit, I am a fool I could ask him so many questions about his abnormality but I chose to keep


    my mouth shut and wasted all this time on being scared.


    I changed back into different clothes which I might wear at night, changed my beddings and threw them


    in theundry. After running and settling everything back to normal, I went to the dining table and sat


    down on the chair, pouring down a ss of water for myself when the bell rang. I got choked on water


    as I was caught off guard.


    Opened the door to worried Jeanne and Mary. Seeing them in front of me, panicked me. I couldn’t help


    myself and I started panting to breathe as I couldn’t fill my lungs with air. I held the door to support


    myself and Mary and Jeanne helped me inside my room. They sat me down on the bed while J left to


    get me water. Mary was looking at me with concerned eyes and rubbing my back to help me breathe.


    After drinking the water, they let mey down on the bed, and J started checking my temperature with


    the back of her hand on my forehead and neck. Damn, I am a fool. I told her I have a fever and forgot


    about itpletely.


    I looked at Mary for help and she offered to check it with temperature as it can be internal fever. I don’t


    know what she has in her mind. I told J where the thermometer is.


    “Give it to me, I will check her temperature. While you go and serve the soup for her. I would have done


    it but too much movement is not good for me.” She told her jerking the thermometer to bring down its


    mercury and pouting as if she felt sorry for J. I almostughed as I knew it was only to send Jeanne


    away.


    As soon as J left, Mary put the thermometer under the nket and grabbed its head in her fist to raise


    the temperature around the metallic tip of the thermometer. I give her a salute for such a quick decision


    and problem solving skill.


    ‘You sure, Celia, you are afraid of them for your life. They are taking care of you when you lied to them


    about your health. Think you dumb.’


    “So, Christian told you, huh?” She whispered, keeping her tone low enough to hear me. I doubt I could


    have heard it if she wasn’t sitting this close to me. I nodded in response wondering if I could keep my


    voice low enough so as not to be heard by J. I kept my gaze low at my hands fidgeting each other as if


    fighting their own battle. She put a hand on mine and squeezed it a bit. I looked up to her only to see


    her holding the thermometer close to my mouth for me to take it in.


    “Just trust your instinct, if you want him just be with him without thinking of anything much. Maybe, it is


    the only right thing to be done.” She whispered in the same low tone while I took the thermometer in my


    mouth and held it there when Jeanne came in with a bowl in her hands.


    She put it down on my side at the bed and took the thermometer from my mouth reading the


    temperature. Well, I think Mary’s trick worked since J looked at me with a worried expression and put it


    down on the side table.

    “Drink this soup. What did you do to yourself girl, just yesterday you were fine jumping around the


    house? It was all my fault, I shouldn’t have allowed you to shift. Mumma will kill me.” She sighed, I can


    hear disappointment in her voice.


    ‘You doubted this family who cares for you with everything. You spent a month with these people here


    and three years with J in New York, you shouldn’t have doubted them.’


    They spent the day with me taking care of me. Neither Mary nor I talked about Chris or werewolves


    after that, just spent the day like before this truth. Mary winked at me a few times when she sent J to


    bring something from the kitchen and to put something back using her pregnancy. It was funny how


    Jeanne took care of both of us and did all the chores when she never did much work back at home.


    Meanwhile, I pped myself many times in the whole day for being scared of them and pushing Chris


    away. I want him back but right now teasing J is a lot more entertaining than Chris. No wonder, it is one


    of my best birthdays.
