431-The Shy B*stard.
“Thank you so much for coming,” I said to Marko when rolling into the car.
“Is everything alright? You look kind of worried.” He asked, attempting to hit the road after he realized it was an emergency. I don’t know why my mind thought it was the right time to pay Corbin a visit, but I knew he would be harassing Janet in the morning until he made her accept him, and I will not let it happen.
“I have a friend to save,” I whispered, rubbing my palms together, and looked outside the window. Marko was thirty- five, with black hair and hazel eyes. He was a heavy built man with a genuine nature.
“You are headed to the alpha king’s mansion?” He then asked after realizing the address would take me directly to the devil’ s den.
“He has the answers to my questions.” I was being vague, trying to understand Corbin’s game. When I punished his father, I noticed Corbin didn’t interrupt. It surprised me until he started acting up. He was the type who knew his intervention would get him in trouble, so he waited until he was in power, and now he was taking revenge left and right.
“I will come inside with you.” Marko offered his help, fixing the rearview mirror to steal a glance at me, “And no, I am not saying this because I think you are weak; I am being realistic. You will need a werewolf by your side. Although, I don’t know how much I can fight him, I can always distract him.” He sounded genuine with his help. But I refused to drag more people into my mess.
“It is alright. Can you wait outside only?” I asked, and after a brief pause, he nodded.
“I genuinely appreciate your help. I do. But I think it is better that I don’t make him think we are ambushing him,” I stated again to explain the situation to him. It was nice to have someone by my side.
The ride was so uncomfortable that I couldn’t forget Janet’s tears. Once the mansion arrived, I stormed out of the car and made my way to the entrance. The guards steered clear and let me pass, which made me believe they already knew I was coming. Corbin must have received the information from the border patrol.
“Corbin!” I walked inside the mansion, heading upstairs, where I remember his room to be.
“Ah! The expired Luna Queen!” he smirked, coming out of his room and standing on the top of the staircase to look down upon me. I rushed upstairs and stopped right when I was a foot away from him.
“What do you want from Janet?” I asked, enraged at his audacity to m*ntally attack her when she was mourning.
“Oh! So the friends have already gossiped? Ah! The sweet feeling of talking to your friend about the hot guy who has a crush on you. She must be so shy when talking about me.” He dramatically hugged himself and spoke in an overly sweet tone. In other words, he was mocking us.
“You have no shame. You do realize that?” I bobbed my head, chewing on the words.
“That’s not very true. I was very shy when proposing to her.”
He pressed the tips of his index fingers together and shyly lowered his head.
