46. I won't break your heart

Vera's point of view:

I told Alpha to go. I will need some time to think everything through before coming back to the mansion. Before he left, he told me not to tell anyone about what I know regarding his identity. I don't know why he requested such a thing for me but I promised him not to tell anyone, not even my best friend Nina. I tell Nina everything, maybe this will be the secret I will never tell her.

I spent more than twenty minutes under the shower. My head is just in a mess. I am still processing everything that has happened between yesterday and today. I am trying to wake up under the shower and realize that everything is a dream but I was just lying to myself. It's not a dream, it's a reality. A very unbelievable reality.

When I got out of the shower, I dried my hair and my skin. Moisturize it and then put on my pajamas. I finally sat on my bed with my laptop. I searched about humans that turn into wolves and the first thing I learned about them is that they are called werewolves, they are also shape shifters; that is, humans that can shift into a wolf.

I learned a lot of things about them, like their speed, their strength, their life span which is different from humans. They probably live longer than humans. Their ways of living, they live in packs with a ruler ruling each of the pack. They call their King, Alpha and their Queen, Luna. Their King and their Queen are probably the strongest among them and they are well respected. I learned a lot of other things about them and for a second, I got interested in a creature like them. Even though humans wrote all these about them, they still don't believe that they exist. They believe that their world is just a fictional world.

Why haven't I realized something like this? When I watched a movie regarding humans that turn into wolves, I didn't put much interest in it. I didn't spend more than ten minutes viewing the screen which it's being displayed on, it was actually Nina that was watching it the day I stole a glance at it. Why I didn't watch it is that; Firstly, I hate wolves. Secondly, I believe that humans that turn into wolves are just fiction and nothing real. Not just me, every other human thinks like me.

Wait…. Their King is called Alpha. That's the same name Dominic's workers call him and then I started calling him the name too because I love how it sounds. Does that mean that Dominic is a King? Is that estate a pack or what? Because it was written in the article that they live in a pack and they call their King Alpha. I think Dominic must be a King. He has that intimidating and powerful aura around him. It not only affects his kind but also humans. I have felt that aura before. Even Nina had felt it the day he came to pick me up from Nina's house.

Gosh! Why is this becoming a mess? He's a King and he said that he loves me. If I marry him, will I become his Queen? Oh! goodness! No, I don't think he's a King. Oh! Gosh! I'm confused.

I think I've developed an unexpected headache. I closed my eyes and hit my head on the pillow. I gently set my laptop aside. I have a lot of questions for Alpha. Gosh! I should stop calling him that. I didn't know the meaning but now I do and I don't think I have to continue calling him that. Maybe I should just be calling him his name— Dominic.Or should I call him Mr. Green eyes. Nah, I think his name will do. His name is actually sweet on my lips, why am I just realizing it now?.

This week is just too much for me. It was this week that I found out that my sisters haven't actually repented. I was such a fool to be deceived by them. They put up that act so they would get money from me. They thought I wouldn't give them money to solve their business problems because of how bad they treated me in the past. That was why they had to pretend that they are now changed people.

I wish I didn't go to the family's house unannounced because that is where I overheard their scornful discussion over me. I was heartbroken. I know that I'm still a fool to think that I prefer to be kept in the dark about it because I enjoy that good but fake attitude they showed towards me. It made me happy thinking that my sisters had changed at last. I saw guilt in their eyes when they realized that I overheard their conversation but that didn't change anything. They made a fool out of me and that's the fact. Nina told me that my sisters can't easily change but I didn't listen to her. Lyn has been trying to call me and I was not picking her calls. What explanation does she have? She will only come up with another lie.

I tried sleeping but I couldn't. A lot is going on in my mind. I'm still trying to assimilate Alpha's real identity, I mean Dominic. I think I was wrong to even think that they will kill me. Liam and Kyle had been good to me. All the workers in the mansion treated me with respect and Dominic had shown me nothing but love. They have no reason to treat me that way if they have wanted me dead. I mean they have no reason to keep me alive and treat me good if they want me dead.

I was still in a deep thought and didn't know when I slept off. I woke up to the sound of a knock on my door. Who the heck could be knocking on my door this early morning.

I groaned and sat up from the bed. The bright sunlight had paved the way into my room showing that it's already morning but I know that the blind are still preventing the sunlight from fully entering the room. I checked the small clock on my bedside table; it's past eight in the morning. I quickly jumped from the bed but relaxed when I realized that I no longer go to work.

The knock from the door got me startled. I have even forgotten that someone was knocking on the door. I lazily walked to the door and opened it not even knowing who was knocking. This stupid habit of mine will put me in trouble one day, I really must change it.

Standing on the doorway is Dominic with his beautiful and charming smile.

“I told you to come back but not this early," I said. Gosh! I even thought that he would come back in the next two days so I would have cleared my mind but he came back today. We spoke yesterday evening, so it was just a few hours apart.

“Won't you let me in?"

I roll my eyes and move out of the way so that he will come inside.

“Fifteen hours is enough time for you to think. Little bunny, I just can't wait. I want you to come back to the mansion with me, I miss you." He's now so close to me with his breathtaking cologne. It's washing my senses away. I really, really want to go back to the Mansion with him but am I ready? I think I am. The only thought in my head is this hunky man. I love him and I can't deny it. I want to be with him.

He cupped my cheeks and made me look into his eyes. These beautiful green eyes are so enchanting. Staring into them, they are making me fall in love with him more and more.

“If you have any questions, you can ask me. I will answer all your questions. Like I told you, I mean it when I said that I love you. And I will be open to the woman I love. Anything you want to know about me, about my world. Ask me and I will answer you but please don't push me away. Yeah I know that I'm a playboy but that was in the past. Ever since you came into my life, I haven't thought of sleeping with another woman. You filled my thoughts and my being. Believe me I won't break your heart."

Like always I saw the sincerity of his words through his eyes. He has never thought of sleeping with another woman. Does that mean he has never slept with another woman since he met me? I blushed slightly. I found this sweet. I cover up the blush and put on a straight face. We both need to talk, is not the time to be blushing.
