Broken Hearts

“Open the door!” Reynold shouted while banging on Stevan's car window.

Laura immediately pushed Stevan's body away. She looked back. Her heartbeat suddenly started beating very fast when she saw Reynold staring straight at her.

Stevan closed his eyes while controlling his desire to attack Laura and suck the woman's blood. His body felt so hot. Even the kiss just now only brought out his wild side. Without thinking, he unlocked the car door. “Come out!” He began to feel werewolf fur starting to appear on his body.

Laura looked back at Stevan. "What is wrong with you?" she asked worriedly, seeing Stevan's red face.

“Come out! Fast!” Stevan snapped while glaring sharply at Laura.

Laura finally opened the door. Reynold immediately grabbed her hand and forced it out. She was so afraid to see Reynold's face that she was holding back anger. However, she was more afraid to see the change in Stevan's facial expression just now.

Reynold was about to tell Stevan to get out of the car to explain what happened between him and Laura. However, Stevan immediately closed the car door and drove his car at high speed, leaving the parking area.

Laura was so hurt when she saw Stevan just leave her without saying a word. She felt thrown away by Stevan after the man managed to enjoy her lips.

“Oh, damn!” Reynold kicked his foot against the car beside him. He became even more annoyed when he saw Laura staring at Stevan's departure. “What have you been doing behind my back, Laura?” he said hoarsely. He held back the tears and anger that welled up in his heart. The scene a few seconds ago rang in his mind. The scene where the woman he loves is kissing another man in the car.

Laura looked at Reynold. She was confused about what to say. The situation cannot be changed. She thought that Reynold had seen her kissing Stevan. "Forgive me." Those were the only words that could come out of her lips. She lowered her face, feeling guilty towards Reynold. However, it cannot be denied that she also enjoyed the moment with Stevan.

Reynold's tears finally fell. His gaze was now focused on Laura's hand, which was dripping with blood. “Does it hurt?” His hand touched hers gently. Even though he was filled with anger and jealousy, he couldn't be indifferent when he saw that his lover was hurt.

“Yeah, it hurts a little.” Laura looked at Reynold, who was shedding tears. She felt increasingly guilty. Her right hand rose and wiped the tears that fell down Reynold's cheeks. "Don't cry."

Reynold smiled. He kissed Laura's hand, which was touching his cheek with wounded and bleeding hands. "Come on, follow me. Let me treat your wounds.” Reynold took Laura's hand and led her to his car. He needed time alone with his lover and didn't want to be disturbed by anyone at the moment.

Stevan stopped his car on the side of a road that looked deserted. His hands have changed, his hair has appeared, and his nails are quite long and sharp. He felt excruciating pain as he tried not to attack anyone. He looked for a mask on the dashboard to cover his face. At that moment, there was a call from Gabrio. "Help me. Help me," he said hoarsely into the phone. Gabrio immediately rushed away and tracked Stevan's whereabouts.

***

Now Laura and Reynold are in Reynold's private apartment. The apartment was used when Reynold wanted to be alone. Although usually he always lives at his parents' house. Reynold cleaned the wound on Laura's hand painstakingly.

"Auuu," Laura groaned, holding back the pain because her wound was treated with red medicine.

“Hold on a moment. Let your wounds dry quickly," said Reynold gently. He put a bandage on Laura's hand.

Laura watched Reynold silently. The man was so kind to her, but she often hurt his heart. Suddenly, Stevan's figure appeared in her mind again. “Why did he yell at me earlier? What's wrong with him? He seemed to be holding back something. Was he that angry that our kissing had to stop?” Laura was so busy with her own thoughts that she couldn't focus on what Reynold was saying.

“Laura?” called Reynold once again.

Laura immediately woke up from her reverie when Reynold called her right near her ear. “Ahh, yeah. Why?"

Reynold sighed. "What are you thinking about? Why have you been daydreaming all this time?"

"Um, I don't know. I am also confused." Laura lowered her face again.

“Laura, answer me. Do you love Stevan?” Finally, Reynold brought out the things he had been keeping all this time.

“What do you mean, Reynold?” Laura looked back at her fiancé's face.

“Answer honestly, Laura. I always feel like your view of Stevan looks different. I don't know what kind of relationship you two had before you got engaged to me." Reynold was so sick when he discussed other men with his girlfriend. He was so unwilling.

“I don't have any relationship with him. I'm new to him too," Laura answered, making Reynold a little relieved.

“Ahh, that's good then.” Reynold smiled.

"But I don't know. Every time I'm around him, I'm so happy. In fact, he always fills my thoughts. I don't know what I really feel. Maybe subconsciously, I like him.” Laura didn't realize that she was smiling right now when she thought about Stevan's handsome face.

Reynold gripped his hand tightly. The pain in his heart appeared again. He had never seen Laura smile so beautifully when she was with him. "Enough! I don't want to hear his name come out of your mouth anymore." When his gaze fell on Laura's lips, he remembered again that those lips belonged to another man. His hand rose and touched her luscious lips.

Laura was a little stunned to see Reynold's treatment. “What are you doing, Reynold?”

Reynold brought his face closer, so that there was no distance between him and Laura. His lips were now pressed against Laura's lips. He closed his eyes, feeling the sensation that fluttered his heart. However, Laura suddenly pushed her body until the link between his lips and the woman's lips was separated.

Laura immediately stood up. "I want to go home. It was getting late. Thank you for taking care of me."

"Let me take you," said Reynold, standing up.

"No need. I can take a taxi.” Laura walked away. However, after only two steps, she came back again. She took Stevan's black coat, which was left on the sofa. "See you next time." Laura immediately left Reynold's apartment.

Reynold closed his eyes. This was the first time he felt such intense heartache. “I don't care if you love Stevan or whoever it is. In fact, you are still my fiancé, Laura. I won't just let you go," he said softly. Laura's back was no longer visible. The woman really left him.

At Stevan's house, Gabrio is struggling to help Stevan recover. Stevan's changes this time are much stronger than before. He put silver chains on each of Stevan's ankles and hands, so he wouldn't run away and attack other humans. “Prince, please control yourself. Why can't you control yourself like usual? What should I do to help you?”

"Akkhhh..." Stevan screamed in pain. His eyes turned yellow, like a wolf's eyes. He continued to struggle. As time went on, his werewolf powers became stronger.

Suddenly, Stevan's cell phone rang. Gabrio immediately took the cell phone, which was in Stevan's trouser pocket. "Laura called you," said Gabrio, showing Stevan a cellphone screen with Laura's name and also a photo of the woman appearing on it.

Stevan suddenly fell silent, staring at Laura's beautiful photo. Gabrio, who saw the change in Stevan, was quite surprised. He immediately picked up the phone. "Hello?"

Laura frowned when she heard an unfamiliar voice on the phone. "Who are you?"

"I'm Gabrio, Stevan's friend," answered Gabrio, who was now watching Stevan.

"Where's Stevan?" Laura asked.

"He is sick." Gabrio widened his eyes when he saw Stevan suddenly start to change back to normal.

Laura was so worried when she heard that. "Which hospital is he being treated at?"

"He is not in any hospital. Come to his house." Gabrio immediately hung up the phone, then helped Stevan.

Laura immediately told the taxi driver to turn around and go to Stevan's house.
