Wolf of Stone novel Chapter 10

His eyes glowed intelligently, hinting at his ability to understand the words that came from my lips. If he could understand though... that would mean that he's a...

It couldn't be...

"Werewolf?" it came out as a whisper of disbelief as I allowed my eyes to devour his giant body. He was big enough that if he was standing next to me, he'd have towered over my poor 5'3 and a bit height, I usually just round it to 5'4.

Something brief flashed in the wolf's eyes but yet he still remained silent. I felt like I was talking to myself.

I haven't been in the world of the supernatural for so many years. There are a lot of species that I haven't met or barely know about. This was my first time seeing a werewolf outside of pages... if he was a werewolf that is... but why is he here?

From what I've heard, werewolves lived in forests and rarely interacted with humans... and they sure as hell weren't made of stone or could live in stone either.

I cleared my throat to clear the tension that hung in the air, at a lost for words as my thoughts spiralled.

A scream suddenly sounded from behind me, tearing me away from my thoughts and causing both me and the wolf to turn our gazes behind me.

Liza stood at the still opened door, a stupid mistake on my part, with her hands over her mouth and her eyes widened in terror and fear. Her gaze was trained on the wolf as if she couldn't possibly believe what she was seeing.

I couldn't even say I'm surprised she managed to find herself outside. Liza was literally a magnet for trouble.

I put out my hand in a calming manner, "don't freak out Liza! You might startle him!" I said it casually as if I was talking about a mere pet. I just didn't want Liza to do anything rash.

I didn't know what it was, but something tickled my insides and reassured me that our lives weren't in danger around this wolf. If he wanted to make a move, he'd have done it already. Plus, his intentions for coming here weren't evil.

Liza stepped outside and grabbed a tight hold of my hand, her cautious eyes never leaving the wolf as she tugged me back.

"Get inside Ezy, I'm calling the cops!" she whispered frantically to me.

I resisted and tugged my hand from her hold, determined to figure out what the hell this wolf wanted. It was harder to get the answers I needed with Liza here though.

I turned my gaze back to the wolf and watched the confusion that swirled in his eyes.

Before I could formulate a response, a thud sounded beside me, straying my attention to the oblivious girl who fainted and fell onto the floor.

"Liza!" I gasped in shock and hurriedly went to lift her body off the floor, struggling to lift her heavy ass into my arms.

I didn't know how he got so close to me so fast without me noticing... but suddenly, I tensed as I felt a presence move up to me.

"Let me help."

"Hell no!"

The words slipped out of my mouth before I could think it through, causing me to wince at how aggressive my voice sounded.

I cuddled Liza to my chest and hauled her up into my arms, grunting at the heavy weight that she put on my shoulders.

"She'd probably kill me if I let a naked man beast lift her defenceless body off the ground," I mumbled as I dragged Liza through the door and left the man behind, my priorities shifting from dealing with a threat to making sure that Liza was safely laying down on our sofa, in the living room.
