Chapter 64 Confession
(Diana’s P.O.V.]
“You don’t have to answer me immediately. Plus, before you make your decision, I need to tell you something, something that can better help you answer my question”
Although I couldn’t wait to agree to Patrick’s request right away, he suddenly became serious which made me a little apprehensive. Was he going to tell me that he was actually a married man?
“I’m listening.”
“I’m not human.”
“Then what are you?”
“I’m a werewolf.”
“Oh, I’ll tell you a secret too.”
“Hmm?”
“I’m not human either. I’m an alien.”
Then, I started laughing. I didn’t know why Patrick would make such a joke at a time like this, but I was glad I caught on to his joke. He was such a big boy who loved to joke. But then I quickly realized that something was wrong because Patrick didn’t laugh with me. In fact, his face only turned more serious.
“Diana, I’m not joking. If you accept me, then your mate will be a werewolf. But I do love you. Very much.”
I almost ignored the first few words of that sentence. I only wanted to hear him say that he loved me.
“Pat, there is no doubt about my desire to be your mate. I really do and I always have. And I really want to believe your other confession. But tell me, have you been reading a little too much ‘Twilight’ lately?”. “My dear, werewolves are real. There are not only humans in this world, but werewolves, witches, vampires, elves, and many other races.”
His words piqued my interest. I had always liked to learn about something new. Even though I was 99.99% certain that he was speaking of legends and fairytales, I was still interested in listening more. “Can you tell me more about it?” The moment he started telling his story, I was completely immersed in it. He told me that there were many werewolves in the world who usually appeared human but could transform into wolves at any time. Werewolves lived in packs, each with its own rules and regulations. The moon goddess was the mother of all werewolves. The highest-ranking individual in a pack was the leader, Alpha, whose second-in-command was Beta, followed by Gamma. These were known as ranked members along with their families. Civilian werewolves were called Omegas. Though they had their own societies, a number of them possessed various identities in human society.
“So, the pack you live in is called Sunset Pack? That’s a beautiful name. What’s your rank in the pack?”
“I’m Alpha’s deputy, Beta,” said Patrick seriously. I could no longer sense any hints of his usual humorous self.
“Show me, then.”
“What?”
“Show me your wolf, Pat.” I admitted that I was intrigued by his story, but I needed to make sure that his words were true because right now, I was not entirely convinced.
“Diana, go lock the door.”
I was expecting this whole thing to end with my question. But when he told me to lock the door, my heart started pounding. What was he planning?
I stood up, walked over to the huge door, and fastened the carved latch.
By the time I turned around, I saw Patrick taking off his clothes. Jesus, why was he taking off his clothes here?
“Pat, what are you doing?”
“I don’t want to ruin my fancy suit.”
Soon, he was naked and I couldn’t put what I was feeling into words. His body was sexy, smooth, and muscular. And he had a penis. No matter how hard I tried not to look at it, I kept finding my gaze traveling back to that region.
And things started to get even more absurd as I watched him walk a few meters away from me. What was I expecting? A naked man to really turn into a werewolf?
“Diana, my wolf is called Lucifer. When I turn, I can’t communicate with you. But please don’t worry, I will never hurt you. No matter how scared you get, I hope you can try to bear with it as long as possible. This hotel may be the property of our pack, but I don’t think it would be a good thing if an unrelated person saw me in my wolf form.”
I nodded, feeling as if my heart was about to jump out of my throat. If this was a joke, then this was getting way out of hand.
But I soon knew that I would never forget this scene that unfolded before me in the next moment. Fur began to grow out of Patrick’s body as his hands and feet began to transform into animal limbs. Then, a wolf-shaped creature at least fourteen feet tall stood before me. I covered my mouth, trying not to scream.
I watched this wolf-shaped creature – Lucifer – approach me and I subconsciously tried to take two steps back, only to find my feet glued to the ground. Lucifer was so huge that it had to lower its back to avoid breaking through the beam. I let it come to me and when it got close enough, I rubbed its nose with my hand. The moment felt too real, making my hairs stand on their ends.
Lucifer laid down next to me. After thinking for a few seconds, I began to run my hands through its soft, smooth fur. Then I pressed myself against its belly. It made me feel a kind of warmth that comforted me, so much so that tears started to fall out of my eyes.
Although I had watched ‘Twilight’, I would have never imagined that there would be werewolves in real life. And now, I was lying next to one. The existences of werewolves and all the other races were already hard to believe. What more that my lover was a werewolf?
