Ch. 21Chapter 21: Concern


My eyes widened in shock. I read a lot from books about being a Shepa. Basically, it was generational. And whoever Moon Goddess assigns to be her Shepas will grant a life of immortality. And that, the job of Shepa of Werewolf is to control the peace and order between the whole packs of werewolves. I also read about the Shepa of Vampire but my memory about it is vague.

And on how a Shepa can get killed is already out of my knowledge since there's nothing written on the book about it. Or maybe there is just nothing that can kill them.

Now, I know why Dad still couldn't defeat him between their wars.

Beta William was about to speak but was interrupted when his eyes suddenly landed on the bunch of fruit on the table. He stared at it for a long time, probably wondering who it came from.

"Who gave that," I heard him whisper which made me close my eyes.

Oh, dang it. There are not only fruits in the basket. I even put a special message card on it to motivate Magnus to live on in this world. If this man digs into what's inside, Magnus will be put to shame.

As expected, the man had already stepped his feet towards this side while I was like a stump on the side that could no longer move in place.

Almost only one eye was open to me while watching how he reached his hand for that thing and just as he was about to touch it, suddenly the telephone rang somewhere causing him to lose his attention.

He quickly said good bye to me then hurriedly left this place. I think, he was expecting a call from the telephone outside.

I, on the other hand, overcame the tense and I forcibly blew air because of the sudden relief. I wiped the sense and momentarily removed the nervousness. I thought what would happen there if he read my letter to Magnus.

In the afternoon.

It was siesta time when my spirit woke up from sleep. I didn't realize that I fell asleep while sitting with my face still on the bed where Magnus was lying, who was still sleeping.

I settled down while still rubbing my eyes. "Look. I fell asleep because I was tired of you, Magnus."

I stood up at the same time as I stretched as a result of my yawning because of the good feeling of that. It's really nice to sleep. Maybe I would have enjoyed it more if I had extended it until the end of the siesta. At times like this, the surroundings are quiet, the sun is hot but the fresh air that circulates is so good.

I sat next to Magnus while still staring at his very peaceful face, I like it more than before. I looked closely at his face. So perfect.

"If I could live again and choose my gender? I would choose a man. Then, I will take your life, of course!" I talked to him.

When the silence prevailed for a while, I sighed and lay down next to him, I even placed my right arm on his head as if I was his mother holding him.

"My poor baby," I muttered as I fixed her hair. Using the remaining arm, I hugged him with a smile, looking at the glass wall of this room. "I don't know who is older between the two of us but... I am your Mia now. Tsk. I don't want to be your mother."

I patted him moderately, "Wake up there. I'm not used to not seeing you like this.”

I suddenly smiled foolishly at this. Maybe he just needs a baby kiss to wake him up. "Okay, okay. I wish you had said it before. I'm not stingy, I won't deny you that, my baby."

I've prepared my big nose, my face and mouth. And when I was about to kiss him on the forehead, it didn't go through when Magnus, who had just been fast asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and faced me with a wrinkled forehead.

"What are you doing?"

Oh, now everything just came back to normal, the wolf is awake so he's not my baby anymore.

"You see? I haven't even kissed you yet, you wake up right away. That's the only thing that can really heal you," I said, my hand resting on my head to look down at the person next to me.

"And why are you..." He stopped speaking when he looked at my place.

I said proudly, "Why? What's wrong with it? Nothing."

He swallowed hard and avoided looking at me and tried to sit himself up but he failed because of the pain in his wounds. I, on the other hand, sit up easily and it's annoying to support him to lie down properly again.

"Are you crazy, Magnus? You know, you have wounds, yet you are still impulsive in your actions!" I was very annoyed when I preached to him. "Oh, you!" Because he couldn't stop himself anymore, I pinched him on the side of his stomach causing him to deflate unintentionally.

"You gonna kill me," Magnus replied angrily.

"Indeed. To make it better, I will kill you! Gosh.” I couldn't stop rolling my eyes. "About five armed men were waiting for you and then, you just fought so-and-so? That's wrong. You should get a grenade first and then blow it up in their faces. You're freaking me out."

"It doesn't make any sense."

I blew out heavy air, "But seriously. You shouldn't just fight them. You are not a superhero to defeat those."

"So, you're concerned. Thank you but I don't need it," he responded without emotion.

"Hey, hey, hey. That's where you're making a mistake," I said while still shaking my head. "Prevention and concern are different things. So, what I'm doing to you is not a concern but to avoid the chance of me losing hope of helping Prince Malbonte. I get it. Do you get it?" I said without thinking twice the reason why I got stopped for a while.

"Why are you still hoping that I'll help you for what you want?" he seriously asked.
