-You must go home, you can't be here," I tell both parents.
-This is not possible," says the terrified woman.
I haven't found out her name, every time I go near the house, I only focus on my little companion, everything else ceases to exist.
-Come back, tomorrow I'll come to see you, it's not safe for you here.
They don't say anything else, they just nod their heads and go back, I follow them from behind, to make sure they are safe.
When I return to my home, I can't help but feel very happy, what I did was very dangerous, but I was able to be close to my little companion, as I had been wishing so much. I can't wait for the day when she will finally be in my arms, when that happens I won't let her go, I will protect her with my life.
-Son, can we talk?
My mother was waiting for me at the door of the house.
-Not now mother, I'll go for a bath first -I transform into a human and take my pants that I left for when she will be back. When I finish putting them on, my mother stops me.
-I don't know what you're doing in the forest, but she can't go on.
I turn to look at her angrily.
-Can't she have some privacy? I'm fulfilling my responsibilities, what else do you want from me?
-You've never spoken that way about the pack before.
-We all have the right to change," I turn to go inside the house.
-Son," she calls to me.
-I know you're worried, but I'm fine, better than ever. Can't you be happy for me?
-Why are you hiding her?
I knew my mom was suspicious about my secret, so I didn't think she'd dare mention it.
-I don't know what you're talking about, mother.
-I don't know why you made that decision, but you must trust that the pack will protect her at all costs, no matter what, never forget that," she kisses my cheek and leaves.
If the pack finds out, if they protect me and her, keeping the secret, everyone will be in great danger because of my selfishness, the law says that if the mate of any wolf or she-wolf is a minor, they must inform the council and they will make the decision of what to do about it, which, the result is always that the minor lives far away, with few visits a year, until he or she comes of age. I can't allow that, I don't want to. If the law is not enforced, the punishment or sentence can wipe out the pack, there are no exceptions, no one is spared, even if you are an alpha.
I go to my room and after a long shower, I go back to my office to finish some reports. When I was about to finish I hear some screams coming from the corridor.
-You can't just come in," I hear Steven say angrily.
-Let me through! -the man shouts.
I get up angry, because they are shouting in my home, creating an unnecessary commotion. I don't finish to get to the door, when it's opened with a bang.
-There you are," the man points at me.
He walks up to me, angry and haughty.
-Can I help you? -I say angrily.
-Dad! -Jasmin shouts as she enters. "What are you doing? -she says when she gets to his side.
-Look what I have to do to see my own daughter," his angry face and tone hasn't gone away, on the contrary, it's even worse.
-I'm sorry.
-This is no way to get to my home, no matter who you are.
He looks at me, analyzing me.
-I admit it wasn't the right way- -His expression doesn't change, as it seems what Jasmin has told me about him, everything is more than true- -but this spoiled girl, she hides from me.
-I'm not a child daddy.
-You'll come home right away.
-No. -No.
-Your daughter is welcome here. -Your daughter is welcome here.
-She belongs with her kind, with... you," he says the last contemptuously.
