The Special (a werewolf story)

Making a friend

Azalea wakes up like every other day, does her morning routine and goes to work. It's been two months since she settled in the town. She still hasn't made any friends, not that she needs any. Her boss is satisfied with her work and made her a permanent worker. She reaches the shop, goes in and change to her work uniform. Today is a half day since it is Saturday. She sets the tables outside and starts cleaning them. Lately, she has noticed that people always look at her. Well she is new in town, you can't blame her. There is also a regular. Who always sits in the café by the second window. He always orders a cappuccino and drinks it slow while looking outside as if waiting for someone. He always has a sad smile on his face. Today is no exception.
At 9:45am he enters the café and sits on his usual seat and orders the same thing and sips it slowly. She couldn't help herself and gets worried. So she goes to him and sits in front of him.

The man lifts his head to see the waitress sitting in front of him. She offers a gentle smile as he caught sight of her.
"Hi, good morning.." she said slowly. Noticing she is trying to start a conversation, he nods and looks at his coffee.
"Sorry if I am interrupting or disturbing you but I am just worried." She continues. He is surprised. No one have ever said something like that to him.
"If I may ask...Are you okay? You always look lonely every time you come to the café." She asked. He smiles at her.
"I'm fine. Thanks for your concern." She smiles.
"I'm Azalea by the way." She said.
"Nicolas." He said.
"Let me leave you to your coffee. I was just worried." She said and goes back to her work. He smiles at her. He finishes his coffee and then leaves. Azalea flashes him a smile before concentrating on her work, missing how his eyes changed colour.

After a very busy day, Azalea passes by the supermarket to buy some of the food supplies for the week. She has decided to spend the weekend as usual. Watching movies and drama. Recently she has been watching this drama called Goblin and can't seem to get enough of it. It was past 7:30pm when she enters her apartment. She placed the grocery on the kitchen table, clean and put everything where they belong. She had ordered food and takes a bath before it arrives. She is stuffing her face with food when she heard a wail outside. She had let her window open for natural air  to enter. It sounds like a baby. Who would abandon their baby at this time? She left her apartment since it was under her  apartment. She reached the qn alley just to discover, two red eye men going towards the child.
"Stop!" She shouted. "Get away from that child before I call the police." She threatened. The two men shared a look then smirk, forgetting about the child and coming for her. She started walking back. The men are about to reach her when they suddenly froze. They look past her shoulders and tremble. Seems like they have seen something frightful. She turns to look, but sees no one behind her. The two men leave she hurries to the baby and shifted the clothes covering its face. The bluest eyes she has ever seen looks up at her. The baby started cooking to catch her attention. She felt someone looming over her and turn to look. Red eyes looking directly at her from the entrance of the alley. But soon they disappeared. She carried the child to her apartment and discovers a cute baby boy. He has the chubbiest cheeks she had ever seen. He is just so beautiful. She cleaned him up and fed him some milk.
She wakes up to baby crying at 3am. She yawns and makes a bottle of milk ready. She carries the baby and feeds him. She dosed while feeding him. And they end up sleeping on the couch.
The next day she plans to take the child to the nearest orphanage since it is her day off from work. She takes a taxi and tells the driver to take her to the nearest orphanage.
Once she arrives, she goes straight to the reception and meets a woman. She explains the situation. The lady smiles at her and then extends her hands to take the baby from her. As soon as the baby is in the lady's arms, he starts wailing. Azalea is embarrassed.
"You sure he is not your son?" The lady asked.
"I saved him last night from some dangerous men, so no he is not mind." She replies.
"He already seems attach to you. Which is why he is crying." The lady smiles.
"Let's try something. Take him back and see how he reacts." She said. Azalea takes back the boy from her. The boy becames quiet and was even smiling at her. Looking at her with the bluest eyes. She smiles.
"Just as I thought. He likes you. He is already attach to you." Azalea is shocked.
"What do you say, wanna adopt him?" Azalea is confused.
"Sorry I can't. I'm new in this town and I just got a job. I don't think my salary is enough to take care of him." She said.
She looks at the baby and turns to leave just to hear him wail again. She smiles and takes him. "Guess I can't leave you." She smiles at the baby who started gurgling.
She takes him home after signing some papers, passes by a baby shop, to buy food and clothes for him. She got only the essentials. The rest could wait. At home she bathes him and gives him baby food. After making him burp, she slowly lulls him to sleep. She puts him on the bed beside her and dims the light. She lies down and while stroking his soft hair, she falls asleep. Not minding tomorrow, failing to see the red eyes looking at her apartment from a distance.

Nicolas drives into a huge gate and parks in front of a huge white house. He smirks while entering the house. He goes in to what seems to be a living room and sees a man of middle age reading a book and drinking what looks like red wine.
"Nicolas. Why are you smirking?" The man asked putting his book aside and sips from his glass.
"I found her. She's beautiful."
