Winter’s POV
When Karina left me and Ning(that’s her nickname), I pushed the latter on the wall again.
"Cousins? We're not cousins Winter," she smirked.
Yeah, she's not my cousin. I just know her because her family once lived in Busan.
Ning and her family are werewolves too. And I know she's a beta, she could be an alpha if she wants to. She's like me, we're rogues. No packs, just lone werewolves.
But Ning was like a private investigator in our species so probably, there's something here in Seoul but she won't tell me. She's still hard headed one.
"I hate this girl, she's so mean!" Gyeoul said.
"Tell me, what are you doing here?" I asked for the 5th time. I was trembling with my irritation.
"Aishh... still, you are really grumpy Winter! Fine! I'm here to investigate about the alpha," Ning rolled her eyes and I let her go.
"Alpha? Why?"
"He's dead. You're always late in news." The alpha is dead??
"He killed himself," she added.
"What? Suicide?"
Ning nodded "But I need to know why."
"Did the elders send you here?"
"Nope, I just want to find out myself. The elders don't mind why, they just want to have new alpha here," Ning explained.
"But why are they being careless now?" The alpha here isn't just nothing. He's the alpha, they must be concerned to him!
"They said it's just a suicide, they don't want to mess it up. So I went here to find the truth about what happened to the alpha. The pack here was gone, they joined other packs near Seoul. I can't blame them, they're weak without their alpha and also they're just omega," Ning was twirling her hair as she told it.
But I'm curious about this cryptic case, there's something wrong with this.
"So are you with me, Winter?"
"What?"
"Help me here and I'll help you with your mate, I know, she doesn't know that you're a werewolf... not yet," I bit my lower lip.
She's really good with her senses. She's just pretending to be cute and playful to hide how smart and observant she is.
"You will help me with her?"
"Duh, we have dinner with her mom later!" She reminded me and I slapped my forehead for that.
"Shit!"
"See? So help me here?"
"Fine... As if I have a choice but how could I help you Ning?" I said bitterly.
"While I'm still here, I will live with you. And I remember, you're servant is our adviser right? We're still young back then." Oh, she still remember Yoona.
"I don't want to live with her!" Gyeoul whined.
But I have no choice "Okay but you need to pretend as my cousin."
"No problem Winter, deal."
After school, I gave Rina a ride to her home with Ning of course. Then we went home, I introduced this red head to Yoona.
We did have little talk and everything but I don't wanna be late in our dinner so I asked Ning to be ready. While driving I was explaining things to her but she seemed more interested at her nails as she scrutinized it.
Damn it.
And here we are, in front of Karina’s house. Before we could go out of my car, I reminded Ning.
"So you are my cousin, you're originally from Busan and you just moved to Incheon. My father and your mom are siblings that's why we have different surnames. Your real name is Ning Yizhuo and I told Karina that you're rich and you are a cheerleader," I took time to muster all of that.
"Why would you say that I'm a cheerleader??" She cocked her brow.
"Umm... I don't know, I just said it," I shrugged.
"The rest, just be yourself. Now, please repeat." Ning seriously looked at me and took a deep breath "Okay, so... We're cousins." I nodded. I think she listened to me. Then she continued "I'm originally from Jeju. My father and your mother are siblings, whatever. I'm rich and a cheerleader, my real name is Yizhuzho blah blah blah..." she said nonchalantly.
I was jaw dropped, she's not listening to me! This little mutt!
Gyeoul growled.
"Busan not Jeju! You rambled, my father not yours! Yizhuo and not Yizhuzho! Damn it Ning!" I ranted.
"Chill cous, I'm just kidding. I can handle myself. Don't worry!" Ning sheepishly smiled.
"You better be or I'll bite you."
"So serious, let's go out!" She swiftly went out, I knew, she was just avoiding me. I shook my head and followed her.
We were at the foyer of Karina’s house, I was about to knock but her mom opened the door.
"Good evening aunt... I mean... mom," I sweetly said then she hugged me.
Ning moved back at me as she saw her, she could smell harm with this woman but I doubt that. She's kind like Karina, she won't hurt us and she's just a human.
"Oh, is she your cousin that Karina mentioned?"
Ning was still hiding at my back.
"Yes mom," I replied while rubbing my arm.
"Come in, feel at home," she said as she beckoned us inside.
I was about to walk in but Ning held my arm
"She's dangerous, I can smell wolf's blood on her!" She mumbled. I cringed, I didn't smell mom like that
"She's not dangerous, she's just a human. Don't be silly, come on! You're just freaking out. My reaction was the same when I first met her but she's no harm, I swear."
"You owe me big, as in really BIG with this," she said then she walked inside leaving me at the foyer by myself.
"There's nothing wrong with mom, I could feel that she's real. I could hear her heartbeat, I just don't like her smell." Gyeoul said as she sat on her butt as her forefeet were lifted.
She's gesturing like a human, sitting straight, she's really adorable.
Well, I'm adorable.
"She smells blood, maybe, she previously killed criminals during their operations before as police." Gyeoul tilted her head.
"What do you think my human self?"
"I don't care about it, it's Karina’s mom and she's my mom. I know her heart is good," I murmured to myself.
Then Gyeoul slowly slid her body again to the ground
"Nevermind, just go inside now and see Karina! I miss her! Go! Now!"
I tried not to roll my eyes, what a flirty mutt. But I beamed at the thought of Karina, I got inside the house and closed the front door.
