Capítulo 86: Her dark secrets

Both of them were in a dark pit, coming to terms with their own limits.

Samantha was in the bathroom, fretting over her wolfish features. She tried to turn her ears back, failing any attempt. Usually, they would disappear on their own after some time. But she didn't have time. Rider was out there, waiting to make fun of her. Or, worse, use her secret for his own gain.

They were enemies, after all. How stupid of her to accept eating together. To lower her guard and stop being distant... It would cost her much.

Meanwhile, the centre of her concerns was inquiring about his own abilities. He had been pushed aside so easily.

He wanted to keep her in his arms a little longer, to prevent her from running away because he knew she was feeling bad. He wanted to tell her it was all right, and that he was more excited than concerned.

But he couldn't because she just pushed him off and disappeared behind the bathroom wall.
