Chapter 76: Her words against mine

Chapter 76: Her words against mine
Miles's POV 

She keeps calling me hers that I'm flustered and speechless. 

It leaves me wondering if we are at peace, how subtle it is in her lips that she calls me. 

She looks worried and even if it's my assumption, I just don't want this moment to end.

Waking up to meet her the first thing in the morning, I didn't really expect to be tagged along but then it seems it's the only way to avoid Cole and his demands.

Earlier after our discussion, mia called as I've specifically instructed her look out for a guy with either a ring or having a blemish of white hair locked in a kind of braid.

Unfortunately, she couldn't find anything on him and so the next is Cole. 

I'm trying to be neutral and not let my head get filled with stories revolving around me.

While lost in thoughts, I suddenly felt a familiar presence, a strong one that had me jinxed.

Belle who has stationed everyone to their rightful places, moved forward, and I did the same thing. When I was an inche to her, I circled her to appear in front of her.

Her eyes questions me as she stopped halfway the pace.

"There's an unusual energy here" I muttered not even considering my words as she'd suspect me.

"Your guys are at it again right?"

"I'm searching for them too" I whispered as she smirked at me, not believing my words.

"So what do we do?" She asked surprisedly and I'm bewildered by how she believes me.

"We take cover and I'd take the lead"

Her colleagues were behind her but maintained a distance as though not wanting to interrupt our discussion while I bite my lips.

"Are Liam and Patrick save back there?" She asked, concerned over her team. I fluttered my eyes and then took a glimpse at the two behind us.

"What do you call the one with glasses?" I asked studying him as his eyes dim at me.

I can tell he's listening to every conversation between us but acts dumb.

"Norbert" she whispers in a low tone as she takes a peek at him. She looks invested in my words and her eyes speaks of how anxious she was.

"Replace him with Liam" I stated scrolling around as the aura was drawing more closer.

If there's any reason I have figured out why she tagged me along, it's to save her team.

She believes I could do that, since I'm Julius and the so called lead of the band she searches for, there's more authority in me to stop them.

With this chance given to me, I'd get to see one of the boys either in their animal form or human.

"He's a doctor, just in case anyone gets injured, he'd attend faster..."

I placed a palm on her shoulder, looked her up in the eyes and said;

"Trust me on this one, we need Liam here with her"

She looked suspicious, her forehead etch with curiosity. Her lips sucks in as she wasn't standing properly again. There's more than curiousity in her, she's tensed and pondering with fear.

"Is he..."

"Just bring him here" I instructed heaving a sigh and still stare at the guy with glasses.

Belle turns around and snapped her fingers at Norbert. He understood that signature and quickly left.

The girl, gawk at me like she still finds me all suspicious.

"That energy is coming for you, Belle..." I paused and then took the pendant that I wear around my neck.

"Turn around" I instructed and she did. Slowly, I placed it on her before I heard footsteps approaching us.

It was Liam, we locked eyes and he swallowed.

"Liam, you know the ways of the woods better and I have a feeling this warehouse leads us straight to the gates of the werewolves"

He began to shiver and then faked a smile as Belle widened her eyes at him. I can tell what she's thinking about. If perhaps he's the one.

She stepped her head of me, wanting to act out of impulse but then, I grabbed her hand to stop her.

"He's not the one, don't act irrational" I pointed out in a low tone, even though she was fuming and glaring at him.

Liam look nervous, with sweat beading on his forehead as he avoids my gaze.

"I...I..."

Again with Belle wanting to rush at him but then I obstructed her trying to gesture to her to keep it down.

"Go on Liam, it won't be hidden forever, will it?" I asked as he folded his fists and returned a glare at me.

"Who are you?" Belle questions from behind me and Tasha was quick to raise her gun to struck him for defense.

"He's just a werewolf, living among humans" i exposed before he'd do the introduction but Belle whispers;

"What if he's one of those boy bands?"

"He's not" I snapped back gesturing on Tasha who had already pinned him to the ground to let him be.

"Stop defending him"

"I'm not, I only sensed his wolf, if he was, I won't have because those boys are good at hiding their wolf from being felt" I narrated loudly as Liam writhes from Tasha's hold panting heavily.

He lowered his eyes as Belle scurries out from behind me.

"What if he's hiding it! You're the one sabotaging all our plans right" She yells and Liam gnash his teeth, unable to defend himself.

I faced her, placing my palms on her cheeks just to keep her calm.

"For once Belle, listen, don't act repulsively, I got this" I whispered as she pants softly and then closed her eyes.

"I'm not the one, I'm just a werewolf hiding and scared of being caught, if you got to find out, you would have handed me to the hunters" he sadly confessed lowering his head and exhaling softly.

I could feel the grief in his tone as our eyes locked again.

How did I know? Cole of course. He always tells me of a secret warehouse's that connects to the wolverine society and I feel it here.

Every werewolf knows of it and though there'd be many doors to trap humans who wants to get in.

But a true werewolf knows the door that connects.
