True Love

Theo's POV

I hate it when he talks and laughs with his so called cousin Piper,

I hate it when he looks or care at her

I hate it when they are together

I hate that the fact that Piper likes him!, anyone can tell by looking at her that she has feelings for him!

So I always interrupt them whenever I have the chance to and it's fun seeing the annoyed face on him.

It was cute of him holding his voice while he was scolding me when I rescued the kitten, he looked like an angry puppy which people will look in awe and not take his anger serious.

Though his expression did show angriness from his frown but his black doe eye showed a lot of concern than angriness, he sure can't express his true feelings can he.

We Werewolves can understand both the Feline and Canide language, so I was able to understand and help the cat who was trapped.

Right now, we are eating dinner but Jacine's expression was still showing annoyance in his eyes because I teased him, touching his ankle with my toes under the table.

I can't help but chuckle. Oh how I love that expression of his~.

I continued to tease him going up further to his legs which made him flinch and looked at me with his wide eyes as if it will pop out any moment from its place .

Hmm~ I wonder... should I go a bit further~?

His anxious face wants me to tease him even more. What will he do if I go up to his thighs?.

He will probably spring from his chair again with the angry puppy expression, imagining it makes me excited to see it.

" How is the food Theo?" Maria interrupted my thoughts and asked showing a warm smile and I retreated my feet while Jacine sighed in relief with a reIax expression.

Too bad .

The food? I don't know... I have never had a proper meal because I was always out hunting or practicing, even when I returned to the palace, I never had a big appetite. Either I eat a bite or not eat at all.

Maybe because there was none that wants to eat in the same table as the Alpha's son? or because it doesnt have the same warm atmoshpere like here?

Spending time together , talking things other than work, caring one another..... no one does that because they are busy unless you aren't staying at the mansion.

When people look at me, some envied me because I am the Alpha's son that has or can get anything wanted . What they don't know is that, they have much more valuable things than these expensive materials or ornaments.

I just nod at her question and she smiles back again. Jacine stepped on my feet and I looked at him confused of his action.

What made him do that? Is it his payback? I chuckle at the thought, but isn't it too light for a payback? I felt as if a small ant bite me .

" Theo, don't you think you should at least visit your parents sometimes while staying with us?" Maria suggested while everyone looks at me except Jacine who was eating his food.

" Maybe they kicked him out because of how annoying and stone hearted he is " Jacine replied sarcastically with a scuff while playing with his fork on his plate

" They are dead " I said and Jacine looked at me , his small smirk fading with guilt in his eye while nibbling his inner lips .

No one was saying anything because they didn't expect this answer. Maria was looking at me with sympathetic eye while Mark doubts what I said is true or lie.

Jasmine and Piper only stayed silent and looked at me, not sure whether to say something or not.

" oh- I am so sorry son, I didn't kn-"

" it's ok Maria, you don't have to apologize" I interrupted her and looked at Jacine .

" Not everyone's life has warmth and love filled " I added .

It's not completely a lie since my mother did died and I dont see the Alpha as my father, so technically my paretns are dead.

" Well, you got us now " Jasmine said with a warm tone trying to lighten the mood .

" Yeah, lets get along from now " Piper added smiling at me. I don't like this converstaion, I want to get out of here.

I placed down my fork and knife and excused myself and went up to the room. Upon entering the room , I closed the door and see that the kitten is sleeping.

I smiled and went to the window, it was already dark and I have to go and meet Cain, might as well go now while taking a fresh air while removing the thoughts off my mind and directly go to see Cain.

I jumped out of the window , again. I wondered how the puppy will react if he knows about it, I bet he will get mad again.

I first went somewhere quiet because it's still not the time yet to meet Cain, because I told him to meet me before dawn and it's still night .

I just aimlessly walk somehwere where my legs took me and as I was walking, I hear sound of streams so I followed the sound and ended up finding a beautiful place.

There was a waterfall and a pond. The reflection of the moon was clearly visible on the water making the scene attractive. It's also calming for one's heart and mind.

The sound of the waterfall, a refreshing breeze and quietness, eventhough there are grasshoppers that makes sound but overall it's calming.

Now that I think of it, Full moon is coming soon and I have to stay away for a few days from them with some excuses so they don't suspect me for anything.

The hustling of the bush across me made me wary and my eyes turned golden with my claws and fangs appearing.

I sniffed on the air to figure out any scent but as soon as I heard a rough cough , I figured it's an old human , so I quickly turned and retreated my wolf's characteristics.

" oh- What are you doing here young man?" the oldman asked with his weak croaky voice.

He was holding a stick and was bending as if having a back pain. He has a timeworn skin and chapped lips. His gray white hair seemed dusty along with his scruffy clothes.

He signaled me to wait for him as he comes limping towards me walking in circles around the pond with his old wooden stick.

" I've never seen you around here. Where are you from?" he added, squinting his brown aged eyes in suspecious.

I stayed silent for a while and just looked at him before answering his questions.

" North " I replied, not wanting to say anything more in case he ask something unnecessary.

" Oh-! so you are from the North Namhu?" he inquired and I just nod at his confirmation.

" No wonder you are tall and handsome" he complimented with a warm smile.

" What did you come here for?"

" White Dèrox"

Hearing my reply, the oldman chuckled and looked at the waterfall scenery.

" Many people come here for that, but everyone went empty handed, giving up" he began.

" Do you know why it's hard finding the white Dèrox?" he asked facing me with a smile while I just stood silent waiting for him to explain.

" Because you young people make it hard for yourself to find one " he chukled and turned back at the waterfall .

Make ourselves hard? What does he mean?

" You might've heard how the White Dèrox's fur shine under the full moon right?.

Only once in a blue moon* they shine, because White Dèrox only appears when two people are truely in love with each other ." he explained, his eyes gaze getting warm and having a big smile on his face as if remembering something from his memories.

"You actually see White Dèrox everyday you know." he added making me confuse.

What is he blabbering? see them everyday?? he just said they shine once in a blue moon and now he is saying the opposite?Unless.....

" Are you trying to say the common Dèrox are the White Dèrox??" I asked curious of my own thought but the man just smiled at me

" Who knows" he stated and walked away waving his hand while chuckling and wished " best of luck young man".
