The Werewolf's Pet

Truth be told

After Eva ate for the second time, Lee Ming stared at her, studing her mood to see if she was truly happy. Eva had a small smile on her face as she sat calmly staring at the ocean as the water moved back and forth. Her attention was drawn to Lee Ming as he held her hand with a serious expression on his face. "Do you want to talk about something?" Eva asked the moment she saw his expression. "Actually, yes. I do have something to tell you" Lee Ming stated. "Okay. What is it?" Eva asked. For some reason, Lee Ming felt nervous about telling her his family secret. This was a woman he wanted to keep by his side but he didn't know how she's going to react after hearing what he had to say. If she's going to still stay by his side or leave him.

In City A, Mrs Watson was on her way to her restaurant when she had a  feeling, she felt like someone was following her. She carefully took hold of the pepper spray in her bag as she increased her pace while walking down the alley. But the feeling that someone was watching her didn't go away. She had been trying to find more information on her husband's case and for some reason, Skylar hadn't showed up to meet with Mrs Watson the time they planned so Mrs Watson tried her best to dig up information on her own since the time Moon Do Sik claimed he was innocent. But now, she had no doubt that her life was in danger. She felt it.

"Well Eva...it's about.." he chuckled nervously as he tried to summon courage to tell her everything about him. For the first time in his life, he had forgotten how to make a proper sentence. Eva found his nervous and confused state cute and she giggled and held his hands. "It's unlike you to be nervous. It's okay, tell me what's wrong" Eva assured him. Lee Ming stared into her eyes and he felt a strong emotion swarm his heart, it was rare. His eyes were warm as he stared at her, wondering how he got this lucky. Wondering if she could really keep up and accept what he was. He looked vulnerable at this point and it started up make Eva worried. He was showing his emotions without holding back. For the first time. "Lee..are you okay?" Eva asked as her hand moved to his cheek. Lee Ming placed his hand on hers and said "I'm such a lucky man." He paused and scoffed "No. I don't even know if I'm 50 percent a man" he continued. Now, Eva was genuinely worried.

"What do you mean? You are clearly a man" Eva stated. "No. I'm a beast, I'm a monster" Lee Ming said as he removed Eva's hand from his face and stood up and stepped away from Eva's reach. Eva stood up and walked behind him. Lee Ming stopped in his tracks and said "I wanted you to hear it from me. I'm not like you Eva. I'm no less than a beast. You have seen my eyes". Eva felt her heart beating rapidly as it hit her ribcage. She knew perfectly what he meant by "you have seen my eyes". She had witnessed his eye color change from blue to red twice and she was well aware that he wasn't normal. But the way he spoke about it now feared her. "Lee I know that you are not like me." Eva said. "No. You don't understand. I have murdered people in the past. This isn't my true form. I apologise that you have to find out this way but I never wanted this for us. You're too innocent, too good for me. That's the reason I sent you away at that time" Lee Ming said as his expression turned darker by the minute. Eva remembered the time he told her to leave and she said "I do not care! I do not care if you're a man, a beast or a monster. It doesn't change and will never change the way I feel about you" raising her voice.
"You can't be with someone like me. I planned to tell you the truth and give you a choice. But now, there's no need to make a choice. You can't be with me. I look into your innocent eyes and I see a wonderful, beautiful person who doesn't deserve to be with me" Lee Ming uttered.
Eva hugged him from behind as tears fell down her eyes "I do not care because I love you that way. I love you Lee" she said and it felt like the whole world had stopped.
