Chapter 25

Aemon's POV:
When I saw Heather struggling in the water on the live feed, my heart felt like it was being stabbed with a knife. I immediately rushed to the swimming pool and rescued her. As she lay wet in my arms, I felt my heart beating so fast that my hands didn't even dare to push too hard as I watched her vulnerable.
Heather's body is long and slender, the waist is so thin that I can hold it with one hand, the body curve is also very beautiful. She slightly tilted her slender neck, water droplets sliding down the neckline to the collarbone and finally disappearing between the biceps, the transparent white dress could see her black underwear inside, which should be lace ......
I feel a little dry-mouthed thinking about it.
The feeling came again, my body felt like it was in an oven, even my blood was boiling hot. This feeling is not unfamiliar and is a symptom suggestive of estrus, which may have something to do with the fact that I always go to think about Heather.
I had to settle this primal desire myself under the covers, but it did nothing to relieve the craving inside me, and I had to inject a few more tubes of inhibitors before it finally subsided.
I hadn't been to school in days and I was dreading seeing Heather, but now I was dying to see her. From the moment Tina said I liked Heather, my heart just didn't seem right.
In that moment, I felt very confused. Did I like Heather? Is this what it feels like to have a heartbeat? Could I really be with a human?
The Busa pack has been around for hundreds of years, and there are legends of werewolves and humans falling in love during that time, but they all end in tragedy without exception.
Humans may be accidentally killed by rampaging werewolves, will be burned to death by high temperatures during intercourse, and be mutilated by the werewolves' natural enemies ...... Of course, not only humans have a tragic end, werewolves may also encounter deception, and then will be captured for research, exhibition, and auction.
There were so many obstacles between Heather and I that I lied at the time, I was afraid to admit my feelings, and I think I needed a little time to think.
Before I went home I rationalized that if I had a solution to these problems, I would make my feelings known to Heather, and if not, I would stay away from Heather while I was still in the deep end.
But when I returned, I began to miss Heather intensely, and I didn't have a clue about how to solve the obstacles in front of me.
How can I solve a problem that my ancestors couldn't solve? And it's probably too early to think about that, and if Heather doesn't like me, I guess there's no point in that.
I was at home thinking about these questions over and over again and stayed for almost a week when Edwyn came to see me. I didn't like this boy, in my eyes he was just a weak and hypocritical human being, I didn't even care to talk to him.
But what I didn't expect was that Edwyn approached me because of Heather. He said he was in love with Heather and wanted to confess his love to her and invited me to his birthday party.
"If you can, I'd like you to pick her up for me on the day I have to set up the scene again and give Heather the perfect confession." Edwyn stood beside my bed and looked at me sincerely.
I looked at him indifferently, a little annoyed inside, and asked unhappily, "Why do you need my help? We don't know each other that well, we're not even friends."
"We can be friends now." Edwyn said, "I didn't just invite you, I invited Bria, and you're all her friends, aren't you? I want her to have a good birthday."
I stared at Edwyn in silence, trying to see any trickery in his expression, but there was no hint of a flaw in his face, as sincere as if he really thought that.
"I can bring happiness to Heather, and I've never had my heart set on another girl." Edwyn continued.
"I'm not interested in this." I said indifferently, "Get the hell out of here, I'm not going."
"Why not go? Aemon, it's a rare opportunity for you to make some more friends." My mother's voice sounded at the door as she brought us fruit salad.
I looked at my mother in disbelief, she knew we couldn't have too much contact with humans.
"Edwyn, have some fruit salad." Mother greeted Edwyn, then turned her head to look at me, "Edwyn is a good boy, he was the only one who came to see you when you were in the hospital."
"No girl can resist a boy like Edwyn, whether it's family or quality looks, Edwyn is what all girls aspire to." The mother continued, with a faint smile on her face.
This was said to me on purpose, she was telling me that Heather would only be happy with humans.
"Thank you for the compliment." Edwyn smiled coyly.
"Okay, I promise you, Edwyn," thinking for a moment, I looked to Edwyn, "I'll pick up Heather for you, but if Heather turns you down tomorrow, you can't pester her again."
I said yes to Edwyn's request, but that doesn't mean I gave up, I just wanted to give Heather a choice. She is not a piece of cargo and it should be her choice to choose her lover. If Heather had the same heart as me, then I would never give her up to any man.
After sending Edwyn away, my mother came to my room again.
"Aemon, I hope you can understand that humans and us are not fit to live together. If you really don't like Bonnie, you can also find other female wolves, but you can't like humans." Mother looked at me worriedly.
"If I told you that she was my destined Mate, would you still stop me? You know what a fatal attraction that is, and there is simply no way I could give it up." I looked at my mother with a deep gaze.
"How is this possible? She's only human ......" the mother stared in surprise.
"I smell a special scent on her and she also relieves my heat symptoms." I looked at my mother and said, "On her eighteenth birthday, I'll make sure she's not my Mate."
The mother was shocked for a moment, then wrinkled her nose and said seriously, "So what if she's your Mate? She's just a human, she doesn't have the feelings of a werewolf, she can't smell you. Most importantly, she can't mate with you, unless you want to get her killed."
"I will find a solution." I said in a hushed voice.
"Okay." Mother said helplessly, "We can forget about the future for now, but are you sure she loves you? She's not a she-wolf, being an Alpha doesn't appeal to her, and Edwyn is a better match for her than you."
"If she really loves Edwyn, I'll respect her, otherwise I'll snatch her up." I said in a hushed voice.
"Forget it, I don't care about you!" The mother left the room in anger.
The day before Heather's birthday, I stood in the full-length mirror and surveyed myself. I always dressed sloppily to be inconspicuous at school, but I never cared.
But now I look at myself in the mirror with a beard and messy hair, and suddenly I feel a strong sense of irritation, and I want to meet Heather in better shape.
Heather's POV:
Tonight I had that nightmare again, the difference is that this time in the dream I also became a mermaid. Along with this change came a sharp pain in my legs.
It was very painful, as if the bones had been cracked. I woke up in pain, and within seconds of waking up, my legs still hurting, I saw them literally turn into fishtails! It was a silvery white fishtail, shining beautifully in the moonlight with a silvery light. I rubbed my eyes hard, and when I opened them again, my legs were back to their original shape.
Is it a hallucination?
I turned on the bedside lamp, stretched out my legs and looked again carefully, only my calves had some bruises, maybe that's why I felt the pain. I breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from my forehead. After calming down for a while, I looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table and realized that it was already early in the morning.
-- I'm eighteen years old.
Once again, I turned off the lights and lay down under the covers, but I was completely sleepless. The image just now was so real that I felt that not only my legs, but also my body had undergone some kind of change.
Looking at the moonlight outside, Aemon's face suddenly came to my mind. Thinking of him, the corners of my mouth involuntarily raised, and gradually got sleepy.
I was worried that Tina might really spread that kind of video. I had decided not to go to the beach today, but I still had to get up early to clean my coffee cup. When I got up from bed, I felt like my body was falling apart.
"Hey, lazybones, finally you know how to get up!" My foster mother was watching TV at the counter, and when she saw me coming down from upstairs, she glared at me obliquely with displeasure, "After staying in school for so long, you haven't found a rich person yet, but you've learned all the bad habits."
"I'm sorry, mom. I'm a little unwell, that's why I got up late, I'll go wash the dishes now." Hearing my mother's words, I felt a little weak and hurriedly headed for the kitchen.
The mother put her eyes back on the TV, still complaining discontentedly, "What bad luck, how did I pick you up this loser!"
It was so hard to hear that I could only pretend I didn't hear it and continued to walk to the kitchen. At that moment, there was a loud noise at the entrance of the coffee shop, and the voice of the foster mother became eager, "Hello, sir, would you like some coffee?"
Someone's here for coffee so early?
Feeling a little curious, I turned my head to look and happened to lock eyes with the person at the door. In this moment, I had a wonderful feeling, like a switch was turned on inside my body.
I know this man belongs to me and I belong to him.
