Happy New Month, guys. Can you describe last month's Episodes in one word?
Henri’s POVI stayed at home today. I didn’t have any classes to teach, so I used the time and opportunity to follow Julian’s advice. I sent some flowers over to Sophia’s house. I’ve been doing that since yesterday night actually, but I still haven’t received a response from Karyna. If she wasn’t going to listen to me, I was going to make her listen. That was my way of doing things.I was very annoyed that I hadn’t received any feedback from her. It felt like all I was doing was pointless.I’ve never felt so unsettled in my entire life, and so fucking restless. I was fighting the urge to drive over there myself and see how she’d receive my presence, but even I knew that it was too much and too invasive.Just then, my phone rang beside me, jolting me out of my thoughts. When I saw the caller ID, my heart literally jumped out of my chest. My jaw dropped in disbelief, and it felt like my brain was glitching. It took me a couple of seconds to regain my composure and pick up the call b
Karyna’s POV“I guess he’s also bewitched by that whore,” I heard the guy, who I couldn't put his face on a name say.A surge of anger passed through me at that, but I crushed it immediately. I’m not going to give such an ignorant person a moment in my life. So, I ignored him. But when my eyes landed on Henri, and how his body tensed up in rage, I felt a sliver of fear pass through me. Things could get violent from here if I keep quiet.What scared me the most, was that I’d never seen him get physical before. If he was anything like his brother, that fucker was going to die.I studied Henri closely, and I was relieved when I saw that he wasn’t going to beat him up. His jaw and fists were clenched, but he made no moves to do anything. That was about it.Taking that as my cue, I stepped in between the two, separating them from each other. I shot a glance at Henri, and he looked away. “This is my housewarming party, and nothing else. If you’re here to celebrate with me, you're welcome,
Julian’s POVI woke up from my well-deserved rest, stretching my limbs deliciously on the bed. It was nighttime, I deduced, savoring the cool evening breeze on my skin.I looked around for my phone, scrolling my call log for any calls or messages from Karyna, but I didn't see any to my disappointment. “She didn't miss me?” I frowned slightly before my stomach rumbled, making a gurgling sound. I patted it and stood up, slipping my phone into the pocket of my sweatpants.I strolled to Henri’s room, to ask if he could whip us both something to eat. I had some ramen in mind.I knew it was very easy to make, and I could prepare it by myself, but why should I make my stale ramen when I could taste Henri’s legendary cuisine?I knocked on his door heavily just to frustrate him, but I didn't hear his expected groan, which made me suspicious. When I pushed in, the subtle grin on my face disappeared. But it appeared again. Maybe he was already in the kitchen, preparing dinner already? With t
Karyna’s POVAfter breakfast with Julian, I left Henri’s car again and drove to the location Sebastian sent to me, rushing past the highway at breakneck speed. It was quite reckless of me, but I couldn't afford to take things slowly, not when every passing minute meant Henri remained trapped in that cell.I finally got to the lawyer’s house, and I was quite impressed by the mansion. It wasn’t gated, but it had a huge driveway, with nice hedges of flowers at each side, leading to the cream-colored building itself. There was a small garage on the right, closed off, but there was a black Hummer sitting outside of it.It looked homely and inviting, to say the least.As I got down from the car, I saw a tall, handsome man walking out, wearing gray sweatpants and a baggy milk-colored sweater shirt, and Crocs.“You're Henri's fiancee, right? I’m Sebastian,” he greeted me as soon as I got to him. “Yes, I am. My name is Karyna,” I introduced myself, accepting his outstretched hand. Sebastia
Julian’s POVThe laptop pinged as I typed on it, prompting me to pause and look at the message notification. I groaned in frustration as my eyes skimmed over the mail that was meant for Henri.It was from NYU. They have been sending repeated messages, demanding an explanation for his behavior, before they decided to take action against him. It annoyed me to no end.Even his colleagues sent mail and messages as well, some of them curious, some of them accusing, and a few of them from his horny female colleagues, trying to use this opportunity to get into his pants.Didn't they understand that he was locked up? He couldn't possibly receive these freaking messages. But then again, this whole thing was too messy.I knew I was the one who advised Henri to keep trying to repair his relationship with Karyna, but I didn't expect that he would sneak out of the house, beat some stubborn kid up, and land in a cell, for fucks sake!I was having a headache thinking about it all over again.I’ve
Henri’s POVI sat on the cold bench, pressing myself against the corner of the wall. My companion was on the opposite side, fast asleep. I glanced at him, grimacing at his dirty skin, and filthy clothes, appreciating that we weren’t both extroverted.But who was I to judge right now? I was equally in a bad position as he was. I’ve barely been able to sleep. I knew I looked like shit right now.I was kept in this confinement, an alternative to a real cell, that only has two long benches to sleep and sit on, and a toilet at the far left of the room.What wouldn't I give to be back home and asleep in my warm cozy bed…But, I probably deserve this. No, I deserved it all. My karma started from the moment I rejected Karyna harshly like that, and I’ve been suffering ever since. I shouldn’t be complaining. This punishment was mine to bear.I didn't even know what snapped in my brain that night, but before I knew it, my fist met that asshole’s nose, and I grabbed Karyna without a second tho
Karyna’s POVDeep in thought, I contemplated Henri's question, feeling a wave of melancholy engulf me. This situation forced me to confront harsh realities and undergo profound personal growth.I’ve come to realize that with the way everything was happening, I wasn’t safe. I was always caught in the crossfire one way or another. Whether it was Julian, me, or Henri, there was always this neverending uneasiness.Even if I wanted to be with either one of them, or both, it would have been impossible without multiple complications arising at once. And that had been driving me completely crazy.I only wanted a normal, healthy relationship with them, but a lot of things weren't working out in our favor. It was too…chaotic for my mental health. I forced a smile on my face, looking ahead at the road. “No, I’m tired. I want to go back to my apartment,” I let them out honestly.“There’s no problem,” Henri assured me immediately and my lips quirked up slightly.I noticed Julian threw a glance a
Julian’s POV“Here,” Henri approached me with my phone just as I was placing the pizza into the oven.“Thanks, leave it on the counter. I need to wash my hands,” I said, noticing the dough and flour caked on them. After a quick rinse under the sink, I grabbed the phone and slipped it into my pocket. “I've been thinking,” I mused aloud, catching Henri's attention as he sat on one of the stools by the counter.“Yeah?” he hummed, looking up at me.“I wish to turn Karyna, you know? Make her one of us.” I confessed to my twin brother, watching as his body tensed up. “I know you’re going to refuse, but I want her to be a werewolf like us. That way, we won't have to hide our true identities from her, and we can introduce the supernatural realm appropriately to her. Her ignorance would make her vulnerable to our enemies.” I explained with good points until I noticed his quirk brow. “Yes, these are excuses,” I admitted.“The real reason I want to turn her into a werewolf is because I want t
