Chapter LVII

Maria

Two years later...

The year is 2022, and a lot has changed by now. I couldn't find time to reconnect with my family, and honestly, I didn't expect time to fly as fast as it did. I'm now 25, Alex is 23, and Rosa has turned 30.

Aura hasn't reappeared in our lives, except for that moment when she helped Alex with exams. After that, she vanished. Andressa continued her treatment and was doing well. Like Alex, she's now 23. Two years ago, I became pregnant with a girl named Soaria. She brings me much joy with her blond hair and blue eyes, though her skin is tan like mine. I don't know if she'll inherit the ability to transform into a werewolf, but if she does, Alex promised to take responsibility. I trust him, and I know everything will be fine.

Alex continued studying, and I kept working. I didn't get a promotion, but I wasn't in a hurry; everything has its time. My friend Long, a nun, continued to chat with me and Andressa. However, what I really wanted to know from Alex was when we would get married; I even chose Andressa as my maid of honor. I wished it could be Heloísa, but unfortunately, she's no longer close to me.

Thinking about two years ago, I recalled a hidden talent: painting. I kept practicing, and to my surprise, I became quite good at it. Painting became my new passion, and I no longer cared much for photography. Somehow, I thought this way, but I'm not sure why, to be honest.

After revealing to Alex that I no longer wanted to take photos, he was impressed with my decision, as he always associated photos with me. "I understand," I said. "I won't completely abandon it, but I'd like to explore this side I haven't fully explored yet." He nodded, though his expression suggested he disagreed. I didn't mind; it was my choice.

I quit my job, but I still talked regularly with Andressa and Erasmo. I was hired at Mr. Henrique's library and began assisting him. He claimed to be getting old and needed help, so I offered, and Mr. Henrique quickly accepted.

In two years, much can change, and it was no different for me. I gained a daughter, changed jobs, and bought a house for Alex and me. It was simple, and everything worked out. We became neighbors with Rosa without any issues.

On my day off, I decided to spend time with Alex, watching a random movie on TV. Rosa wanted to take Soraia for a walk, and we allowed her. Rosa loved Soraia, saying she could be a gypsy. Not that I had anything against it, but I don't like when someone influences children to do exactly what they want; the child should decide. I've always supported that, influenced by my grandmother.

After the movie, I turned off the TV and said, "I'll be waiting for you in the bedroom." I walked to the bedroom and undressed. I decided to surprise Alex by being naked, and it worked. He came to our room and was impressed to see me without clothes. I danced for him and then said, "Do whatever you want with me." He didn't hesitate and attacked me. He laid me on the bed, got on top of me, entered me, and started making slow movements, kissing me. I couldn't resist and kissed him back.

Alex stopped kissing me and continued penetrating me, gradually increasing the pace, saying, "My God, you're so hot..." I kept moaning, and after he said that, I couldn't hold back and moaned even more, wanting to feel Alex in me. He became more intense. He seemed to enjoy the back-and-forth motion more and more, driving me crazy. "Alex..." I continued moaning his name, realizing he became more intense as I squirmed and moaned his name.

I felt my orgasm building up and it happened. However, Alex kept moving on top of me, and after he intensified trying to release his orgasm too, the bed made a loud creak, and I felt sharp pain. Then, he released his orgasm inside me. My legs trembled, and both of us were panting after the moment of love we shared. "My God, it seems like you get hotter every day," Alex said, and I blushed.

After a while, Rosa appeared with Soraia, seeming worried about something. I decided to ask what it was, and Rosa said she might have found the footprint of a werewolf. She provided more information, but honestly, I wanted to see this footprint to get an idea of what it looks like and maybe compare it to a werewolf paw. I don't know why, but I feel it might be a werewolf's paw, though I could be wrong. Anyway, it doesn't hurt to check.
