Professor Sebastian Jones - Is It Love? Fan-fiction by SW

Chapter 21 - The Huge Black Wolf is in danger!

I'm hours trying to finish my report. It's already night! These technical terminologies aren't easy for me to understand or write down something that makes sense. Engineering isn't my area of knowledge. I'm exasperated! Nicolae observes me from his desk.

Nicolae: Khawla, do you need some help?

My voice is a plea.

Khawla: Please!

Nicolae smiles warmly and comes to my desk. He reads what I've written so far, explains some stuff, and gives me some guidelines to work on. Then, he goes back to his table to continue his work. With Nicolae's explanations, my task becomes easier, and I could finish it in no time.

Khawla: I finished!

He nods, comes to my table, and reads the final report.

Nicolae: Excellent, Khawla! Tomorrow, you can take the afternoon to rest. And also let Lorie at my care in the morning.

Khawla: Thank you, Nicolae. Good night.

Nicolae: Good night, my child. Sweet dreams.

I'm too tired to study! Working in that engineering report was very tiring. It asked too much of me, and I have a headache.

I head to the forest to my druid meditation to relax a little and recharge my batteries. I connect myself with nature and empty my mind. I'm observing my breath and the sounds around me: the owl, the crickets, the leaves...

The huge black wolf doesn't take long to join me. He observes my very movements with his fierce amber eyes. When I finish my meditation practice, I lean against the tree to enjoy a little the night, and he comes close and sits next to me in a safe distance that doesn't allow me to pet him. Very smart!

We both stay there, in silence, for some time. I enjoy so much the presence of the huge black wolf! I feel safe and reassured beside him. But I'm tired and start to feel asleep. I know the wolf doesn't like me sleeping in the woods, so, I stand up to go back to the manor.

Khawla: Good night, wolf. Sleep well.

And I go. The wolf runs into the forest and disappears.

I'm free from Lorie today. Some peace of mind is always welcomed! Her nasty and cruel riddles and remarks are driving me crazy! I'm even dreaming that the huge black wolf and Sebastian Jones is the same creature! This is absolutely insane! He already mocked me because of this... Or is he hiding secrets?

I raise an enquiring eyebrow. I'm pensive about this possibility again. Then, I shake my head to one side to another to snap this idea out. No, Lorie is trapping me. I can feel he's a supernatural creature or has special gifts, but I don't think he would be a werewolf... It would be too much cruel, as vampires and werewolves are enemies and I lived my entire life among vampires. I can't be so attract for a damn dog!

I head to my bathroom to take a long shower to put my thoughts in their place. I won't let Lorie deceives me. She's a deceitful old fox just as Viktor, even she's looking like she's six or seven-years-old, but she has few centuries of existence. She isn't trustworthy at all because she has the same dark aura of an original.

Well, apart Igor Bolshoyev, that, although he's an original vampire, he isn't able to harm anyone. I know there is something in his story that has made him changing from a bloodthirsty creature to an apprentice of Cupid, but he had never talked about it. And, as per my vampire friends, it was some centuries ago that he had changed drastically.
