The Night Wolf novel Chapter 9

That must be it, and not some romance movie shit, things like that didn't happen in real life. even though some part of her wanted it to be that, that being 'some romantic shit', but the logical part of her knew that was impossible, after all the world was built on science.

"I," began Rowan. "I don't know." He said, staring at his hand and then looking down at her. "Are you alright?" He asked with genuine concern in his eyes, making her heart skip a beat. He looked absolutely sexy.

Well, except for the fact that you are killing me with your sexiness, I'm perfectly fine. She wanted to tell him the truth.

"I'm fine." Said Willow instead.

"Rowan?" Popped in Felix, making Willow jump. "Were you looking for me?" Felix had changed out of his attire of the day, now he was wearing a night suit, silk ones to be mentioned, and here Willow thought that boys slept shirtless.

"Yes," Rowan trailed off, though he didn't look as perturbed as she felt.

"Wait," Felix said suggestively. "Did I disturb you and whatever you were doing?"

"No, what do you think we were doing?" Said Willow. "Right!" She the remembered why Rowan had called for Felix. The portrait. And Rowan denying his eyes being golden. "Felix, what color are Rowan's eyes?"

Felix raised his brow, before turning to Rowan. "What is she talking about?" He asked as if she had just asked him if the sky was brown.

"Willow claims my eyes to be golden." Said Rowan, pointing at the portrait behind him. Felix's eyes widened.

"Golden?" Asked Felix staring at Rowan, his eyes wide open. "I only see eyes, nothing is golden on his face."

Rowan breathed out as if he had been holding it in.

"So you mean to say," started Willow. "That I am seeing things? That Rowan's eyes are blue and not golden? And you expect me to believe you?"

"The truth is what we speak." Said Felix.

"Stop talking like that!" said Willow.

"Talking like what?"

"Like that!" It was annoying her. "Like you're some weird creature."

"Weird creature?" Asked Felix. "Oh."

"Back at McDonald's you even acted like it was your first time there!"

"Willow!" Screamed a very familiar voice out the phone.

"Melody," Said willow, trying to sound as enthusiastic as Melody did, but failing miserably. It was five in the morning, after not getting enough sleep the night before Willow was anything but avid.

"Facetime." said Melody.

Willow sighed, contemplating whether she should throw her phone away and sleep or Facetime Melody. She chose the latter since she didn't get enough time to Melody in the first place. Since Melody was at some summer camp her parents made her go, the very camp where more than half of the students in her school went to.

Melody was the only person who stuck with her when the bullying had started. the only one to remain with her when her other friends avoided her to avoid being bullied by Hunter's friends. She didn't blame them though, she wasn't mad at them either. Even though a part of her wanted to be, she couldn't, because she understood that bullying was like a virus, now that they are bullying her, the bullies would also start bullying Willow's friends. The same used to happen to Melody, but when she started dating JR, it all stopped.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaw." Said Melody when she came into view. "Are you sleepy? Is it still early there?"

Melody had her short purple-dyed hair, which once was blonde, tied in a ponytail, she was wearing a tank from what willow could see and her round brown eyes looked wide awake, unlike Willow's blue ones which she could hardly open from her phone glaring at her. Willow could even see her red hair, which she had tied in a braid before bed, was all over. The strands escaping her braid.

"Mel," said Willow, sitting up on her bed. "We live in the same timezone."

"Right. I totally forgot about it, since it's five in the morning." She said though she didn't sound ignorant. "I am suffering here, you should suffer alongside me." Stated Melody as if it was the most obvious thing.
