My Girlfriend Is A Werewolf - Wenclair

Chapter 13 - Vulnerable

Wednesday's POV

"W-what?" I stammered, my voice barely a whisper as I tried to absorb the weight of Enid's words. My mind raced, struggling to process the reality unfolding in front of me.

Enid looked at me with sad, tired eyes, her voice soft but filled with resignation. "I'm dying, Willa... the poison, it's inside me now. I thought I was doing the right thing,,,protecting you. But he tricked me. Alexander manipulated me."

I felt my heart drop, panic creeping into my chest. "No... no, you can't. There has to be something we can do. You can't leave me, Enid."

Yoko placed a hand on my shoulder, her expression somber and filled with regret. "I'm sorry, Wens, but the Devil's Blood can't be cured. It's a poison specifically designed to kill a werewolf. It's... irreversible."

Her words hit me like a punch to the gut, and I felt my body go cold. I wanted to scream, to refuse what she was saying, but I could see in her eyes that this was the brutal truth.

"Why would you change yourself, Enid? I love you the way you are!" I shouted, my voice rising with a mixture of frustration and desperation.

Enid looked down, her expression pained. "You don't understand, Wednesday. I thought if I could be human, I could keep you safe. I thought that would make everything easier for us."

Tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision as the weight of the truth crashed down on me. My heart shattered into pieces, each beat a reminder of the time slipping away. I felt my knees buckle beneath me, and I collapsed to the ground, unable to hold myself up any longer. The pain of the brutal reality was too much to bear, my girlfriend, my Enid, was dying, and I couldn't stop it.

Enid rushed to my side, her own tears falling as she pulled me into her arms. "Willa... please don't," she whispered, her voice trembling. "I hate seeing you like this."

I clung to her, burying my face in her shoulder. "I can't... I can't lose you, Enid. Not like this. Not when we've finally found each other."

"I'm sorry, my love," Enid whispered, her voice breaking as I felt a tear drop onto my head under her embrace. Her arms tightened around me as she continued, her words heavy with regret.

"I should've known better. I was so desperate to protect you from me, from what I am, that I didn't realize I was hurting you even more."

Her tears flowed freely now, and I could feel her pain, her anguish over the choices that had led us to this moment.

"I can be hurt a million times because of the werewolf in you," I said, my voice steady despite the turmoil in my heart.

"But I can't bear the sight of losing you, Enid. You're my everything. I would rather have thousands of scars and live with you forever than losing you for eternal life. But I understand,,, you wanted to protect me... P-please don't blame yourself, Enid"

She stroked my hair, her touch soft but filled with sorrow. "We still have time. One hundred days. We'll make them count, I promise."

I pulled back, my eyes searching hers, desperate for any flicker of hope. "It's not enough," I choked out. "I want more than just one hundred days with you."

Enid's lips quivered as she fought to keep her composure. "I know... I do too. But I'll take whatever time we have. Every moment with you is worth it."

Yoko joined our embrace, wrapping her arms around us like a protective shield, a mother comforting her children in the face of adversity. It was a warmth I desperately needed in that moment. I could feel her strength pouring into us, a silent promise that she would do whatever it took to protect Enid and me.
