The Couple

Chapter 35: That Bastard

Celia

Mary took Jeanne back after dinner and I slept early as my body was aching after a few panic attacks from last night and early morning. I fell asleep as soon as I laid on the bed.

I got up early in the morning freaking out after I had a dream of being chased by a smoking white werewolf in the forest. When I woke up I was drenched in my own sweat and was panting for air. I got up from my bed and went out to get a glass of water. I took a seat near the table and held my head in my hands which was throbbing painfully. I can’t understand my own emotions, just last night I was convinced and wanted Chris back and now I want to run from him again. I can’t think clearly.

I got ready and went to the office to take my mind off things. I thought maybe it could help me, maybe I need to clear my mind before I make a decision and think about things clearly. That thought worked great as Harris piled me up with work and I decided to take the remaining work back home to complete my task and try to make a decision before Chris returns this weekend.

Chris tried to call and message me once or twice but respected my space when I didn’t reply or he was too busy to contact me more than that. Either way I was relieved because each time I ignored him, I felt bad but I need to clear my mind before I make a decision.

‘Or maybe, stupid girl, you need to talk to him and hear him out so you can make the decision.’

After completing my work at home and thinking a lot about the matter, I decided to finally let him talk and listen to him without freaking out and hurting him anymore. I will call him later tomorrow and ask him to come to dinner. Maybe we can talk while eating and discuss things.

I relaxed the next day and went to the office as usual. I was quite excited and prepared a list of questions to ask him tonight. Most were like what he can do and how it is to be a werewolf. While a few ask him if he ever killed anyone or how his pack is and how it operates.

It was already noon and everyone was almost left for the cafeteria. I was also when my phone rang, it was a message from Chris.

“Heaven, can we atleast be friends?” My phone beeped again with another message.

“Please talk its killing me.” I was just reading the messages when Jessica came to me. I thought she was on her way to the cafeteria too but she stopped midway.

“Hey, Celia, can you visit Harris before you leave for lunch? Actually he asked me earlier to ask you to meet him when you’re free and I was working that I forgot. Please, visit before leaving.”

“He returned?”

“Yes, he returned just this morning. He returned like a shock as he went 5 days ago.” She has that anxious look on her face. I agreed, I know it might take my whole lunch but anyways it will be over before I have my lunch. I will reply to him later and will ask him to come to dinner. Before that, I need to see Harris at his office.

he responded in his exciting voice. I wonder what made him so excited that he wanted to share with me. I entered and he signed

sat in front of him cautiously, my heart was beating loudly against my chest telling me something is wrong and to call Chris. Right now I want Chris beside me so badly that I felt nauseous and wanted to vomit seeing Harris smirking at me. He shrugged it off and jumped on his

the shit of you two times. Just remember those nights before you open your mouth.” I was scared to death but tried to not show him that. I get up from my seat and move towards the door before he says anything or does. But he spoke

in my way, I don't know what he wants. But I can’t break Chris’s trust, he told me his secret because he loves me and trusts me with everything. I can’t make him and his people suffer, at least I

I might have been afraid of him till now but in my heart I knew that he is not a danger to me. He smirked as I turned

I will take care of all your needs. I will provide you with everything, I have more money than him, you won’t be at loss. But you will not contact him in any way, forget about meeting him at any place. Just remember I am watching you and I will get to know everything you do. Even now whenever you will meet Jeanne or any other member of his family you will ask

he told me a wonderful joke but no it was a scary moment for me and the vision just

on his face. I wish I hadn’t stopped Chris from killing him that day. Even when he shouted I couldn’t bring myself to move until he moved towards me, bent down to lift me up but I crawled back

my head. I wanted to run away from here and run directly into Chris’s arms but unfortunately I can’t do that now

it helped me calm down but still many things were going inside me and I was not calm at all. I wanted to release it and I needed to leave this place and run away from that bastard. Taking a deep breath, I went outside and gave everyone a smile when our eyes met each other. I was too nervous to keep my balance
