Chapter 64
“Talia p>
Talia turned at the sound of footsteps and crunching leaves.
She narrowed her eyes on seeing Angel but stopped when she noticed Jephthah was missing.
Also, the look of panic on her gorgeous face kind of scared her a bit.
“Jephthah is in danger!” Angel said the moment she caught her breath and Talia suddenly went past her and scanned her eyes around, hoping to see Jephthah standing there.
This was a prank, right?
She just literally saw him a minute ago as she ran ahead of the ’couple p>
When Angel saw she wasn’t convincing enough, she grabbed onto Talia’s hands and trembled, almost convulsing as she spilled out with teary eyes.
“We were just about to join you a minute ago when he was rounded up by rogues. He tried fighting back but there were so many of them p>
“If there were any rogues around, I would have heard them all the way here p>
“We don’t have much time to argue about this. Jephthah is in danger. Please. You’re the only one around, just save him p>
She couldn’t deny how her heart beat fast hearing the word Jephthah and danger combined in one sentence.
“And what did you do?!” She suddenly turned to the girl in anger and Angel shrunk under her glare. “You couldn’t even shift to help him…you would ruin your perfect little skin, wouldn’t you p>
Angel stepped back in horror, thinking she was going to hit her. She didn’t know Talia was this short-tempered.
Seeing the fear In her eyes, Talia just waved her hand at her in a ’getout’ way, turned back and ran without hesitation.
Angel sighed in relief and turned to go back to party, her heart still beating from their encounter just now.
“Talia, I’m sorry I shouldn’t have left you standing alone at the party. I didn’t know you felt so humiliated…ah…this is not going to work.” Jephthah sighed to himself in frustration.
He was standing alone and was trying to go over his apology speech for Talia while Angel did him a big favor by heading back to call Talia.
How she was going to do it was what she didn’t tell him. He was a bit worried for her, having seen the scary smile Talia had given her earlier.
“I know you’re mad at me and you don’t want to talk to me right now but I really want you to know how awful I am for what I’ve done…no! This is so stupid. It’s Talia I’m talking about here…she’ll probably laugh in my face! This is the most terrible apology I’ve ever came up with.” He sighed and held the bridge of his nose in frustration.
Talia sighed again as she stumbled over something and held the bark of the tree to support her weight, preventing her from hitting the ground.
She staggered forward before she realized the Jacket around her waist was stuck on the outstretched branch of her tree.
Swearing, she took it off and threw it aside.
She looked down at the length of her gown and grimaced. Her entire leg was exposed.
“Jephthah!” She screamed and her voice echoed In the forest.
Jephthah suddenly appeared from the bushes and she sneered as she said.
“Well…Angel isn’t much of an actress.” She folded her arms. “Why did you tell her to lie to me. Are you trying to make a fool out of me p>
Jephthah had been around, trying to find a more convincing apology speech for Talia and had heard her scream his name before rushing out to meet her.
He was focused on her angry face but for some reason, his eyes trailed down her face to p>
He whirled around and backed her, squeezing his fist as he yelled without thinking,
“Why do you always make things so difficult for me Talia! How am I going to apologize if you’re going to be half-naked Infront of me p>
Talia shrunk back under his voice and a mist of hurt suddenly clouded her eyes.
“Angel told me you were attacked by rogues and I rushed down to her voice was suddenly hitched up her throat and the next thing that left her lips was a muffled cry. Jephthah felt his heart smash into a million fragments like a glass mirror. “Since…you seem to be fine, I would be going now p>
Without a word, she shifted into this navy blue colored fur wolf with crimson red eyes and ran off like lightening.
Jephthah turned on hearing clothes rip in shreds and it was too late. She had ran far behind.
No! If he didn’t apologize now, she’d hate him forever and he wouldn’t get this same chance.
He didn’t hesitate to shift into a huge black furred wolf with dark gold colored eyes before leaping into the air, running after her.
Talia fell behind a tree and shifted into her naked human form, holding her hand over her mouth.
Why did her heart ache so much?
She was sure Jephthah wouldn’t follow her here but stiffened when she felt a wolf growl from behind the tree she sat close to.
She turned and her eyes met from not far off, two dark gold eyes that held hers captive even when he shifted back to human form.
Her eyes widened at the sudden change but relaxed when she realized she still had his pants on.
Jephthah had been involved in an accident in his pack where he shifted into his human form Infront of some she-wolves in his school and made his father get him these type of elastic, expandable pants that couldn’t tear no matter what. (Could only be destroyed by fire, though p>
Her eyes left his to trail down his chest.
Everything about his upper body screamed masculine. Those abs of his looked like 8 bronze sculpted treasures that glistened under the moon light.
She suddenly realized he had been staring at her all these while and hid her face where the rest of her body was hidden behind the tree.
“You want to talk…don’t you p>
Talia ignored him, holding her naked chest with her hand, trying to still her beating heart from what she had just seen. Gosh! He was so hot!
“Let’s talk.” He finishes and advanced towards the tree.
