Mia’s POV
“Can you believe the audacity of him telling me how you’re trying to
cheat on me with my cousin?” Daisy said.
She had been complaining since she came inside with Tristan. He hadn’t
been able to say anything, but I could tell that she was already so angry
about the situation. I didn’t know why she was mad at all, but I wanted to
make things right.
“You know, you haven’t told me who this person you’re talking about is.
Who said I’m cheating with Tristan?” I asked her.
“It’s Xavier. You know they always get mad whenever they see me, so it’s
just a little misunderstanding,” Tristan replied to me.
I see. Those brothers are at it again. Those people would never leave me
alone until they see that I’m dead. What am I supposed to do with this
kind of person? How dare he say that about me? He knows nothing about
me, yet he thinks he has the right to try and sow discord between my
cousin and me?
“This is why I don’t like them being around me. They are always so nasty
and have nothing good to say,” I said angrily.
I didn’t know if I should go there and look for them to level up my anger.
I decided to go out and look for the person that slandered me like this,
but when I got there, I couldn’t find any one of them.
Did they all disappear at once, or are they hiding because they know they
already did something bad? This is my opportunity to get them into
trouble again, but I’m not seeing anybody around.
“Where do you think they went? I’m not going to take it easy when I
catch them,” I said to my wolf.
“I think you should just calm down for now and not exhaust yourself
while looking for them.”
She was finally giving me advice that I could follow. It’s not every time
that she’s always defending them one way or another. I feel like she’s
their wolf sometimes and not mine.
Later in the day, I took my wolf into the woods to go for a run like she
wanted. It had been a while, and she must have missed being in the
woods a lot, so I decided to do it for her today. As far as I know, this place
is usually quiet, and there won’t be much trouble here.
I gently took off my clothes somewhere and let my body shift. It was
painful to shift, but thanks to the healing power, I was able to do it easily.
Once my wolf came out, she ran everywhere as freely as she wanted.
I’ve always wanted to be happy like this, but because I have to keep my
secret for a long time, I still haven’t been able to say it out to anyone. I’m
just a little bit tired that there’s no one except my family who knows my
secret.
It’s all because I’m trying to hide it away from the people who are greedy
enough to want my powers and also the bastards that claim to be my
bodyguards. I wonder where they are and what they are doing now.
We ran around for a very long time before coming back to where our
clothes were. We shifted and quickly changed into our clothes. We were
ready to leave the woods and get something to eat, but we stumbled upon
a voice that seemed to be calling for help.
Am I hearing things, or is it Xavier that I’m hearing? There’s no way he
would be somewhere like this. Even if they wanted to take a run, this
place is too small for people like them. Why would he be running around
here unless he was following me?
My wolf reacted as if she was in pain, but I wanted to run away as soon as
I could. If he saw me, there’s no way he wouldn’t tell his brother. How
about I just let him die so that they know nothing? Could I be wrong, and
the person isn’t Xavier?
I went back to check if the person was really Xavier. It took me a while,
but I finally found him. He was sitting under a tree, completely injured,
and his legs looked bad. I don’t know why I felt sorry seeing his leg like
that. It’s not going to be easy to heal.
I moved closer to him and saw that he was in so much pain. Should I be
happy now that I’m seeing him like this? I don’t even know. I don’t feel
satisfied since I’m not the one inflicting the pain on him. But is he stupid
enough to get into a trap like this?
“Look at you. You fell into a trap in your wolf form, and you still
managed to shift to human. Were you trying to lose your legs completely,
or what?” I scolded him.
“What are you doing here, Mia? Did you set this trap?”
I looked at him in disbelief. I was coming to help him, but what did he
just say to me? He thinks I’m the one who set this trap to kill him?
“I think you’re not only stupid but also useless. I came here to see if I
could help you do anything, and you’re blaming me for this? How dare
you accuse me of something I didn’t do?” I angrily shouted at him.
But why am I mad at him? It’s not the first time he and his family have
framed someone for something they didn’t do.
“I guess framing people is still really in your blood then. You don’t need
my help. There’s nothing I’m going to do here for you. I’m leaving,” I
said and turned around to leave.
It’s no use trying to convince someone like him that I didn’t do anything
to hurt him. If he thinks I’m the one behind this, he should continue to
think like that. I don’t give a fuck what he thinks.
“Don’t go, please! Save him, please!” my wolf begged me, and I was
confused for a split second.
“Did you just beg me to save his life?” I asked her.
“Save his life, please!”
