The Miserable Human

He crashed his lips against hers and bit her lower lip very aggressively, letting go of her wrist and unbuckling his pants in haste. "Stop!" she muttered, frowning a bit, "I said, stop Gideon!" she pushed him off her by placing her hands on his chest and making eye contact with him while rain soaked them completely. "What's going on? Why are you so mad?" Gideon was a werewolf, a powerful one. He had beautiful blue eyes, a tall and muscular body, and dirty blond hair. The rain made his features even stand out as he stared at Ophelia blankly. "Did I make a mistake?" He tried to reach for her again but she turned her face to the other side. The cold night and the rain made things worse for Ophelia, now that she was a dunk in rain, her body was shivering out of the cold. "My sister is sick, and because of your father's insane rules, I can't buy medicine without your father's, the almighty king's permit letter," as she spoke, the hatred was audible in her tone. "Not only that, I would have been able to get the permit in time had your arrogant brother not caused the mess around my tavern, " she continued to complain. Her accusation made Gideon ashamed and heartbroken. He was the eldest and once a favorite child, but was replaced by Kaiden later. Even though they were completely opposite from each other, they both shared one common interest. They both wanted a mate that was not from their own kind. They were both victims of forbidden love. "Isla is sick?" Gideon's eyes looked around impatiently in search of the umbrella he knocked out of her hand when he thought she was planning on sneaking into the castle to meet him. "Why, you really thought I would risk my safety to sneak into your deadly castle just so that we can make out in rain?" Ophelia was angry that night, and rightfully so, her sister was sick and the shop owner had just displayed his nasty thoughts to her openly, and then she got stalked by the love of her life. "I'm so sorry, I was transitioning into my wolf form when I smelt you around and my brain instantly thought you wanted to see me," Gideon looked ashamed of himself for quickly analyzing she wanted intimacy from him. He wanted to tease her a bit, that's why he decided to stalk her, not knowing the mental stress she was dealing with. "It's fine. It's not like it's your fault. I will go grab the permit letter now. I have to go back home Gideon, Isla is very sick," she pulled herself close to Gideon, her palms resting on his strong, muscular chest as they both stared in eyes. "You don't need to do any of that, I'll get the medicine and then drop you home. And before you deny, please let me do that," He held her arms very gently and waited for an affirmation from her. She bobbed her head lightly and that's when he filled her in his arms to calm her down as well as reduce the cold for her. He followed her to the pharmacy but made sure he made his way before her to not make it apparent that they walked together. As soon as Mr. Harrold saw Gideon, he gulped and mended his shirt to look pleasing to the Prince's eyes. "Prince Gideon!" he showed the full teeth smile and peeked behind him at the outside, cursing at the rain because of which he stayed late, and now he encountered the Prince himself. "I saw the lights in your shop, why isn't this shop closed yet?" Gideon's orotund voice made Mr. Harrold wheeze in response. The fear Mr. Harrold felt in his skin could be sensed from miles away and why not, Gideon was over 6 feet 2 inches tall, with broad shoulders, and heavy built guy. Not only was his humanly physical appearance a scary sight, but his wolf form was even deadly. "Oh! I was taking shelter from the rain, besides, Alpha King has granted me some extra hours to keep my shop open," Mr. Harrold laughed awkwardly, his lips quivering every time he opened his mouth to make a sentence. Ophelia interrupted them as she stormed inside the shop, all soaked in rain, pretending to be taken aback by the presence of Prince Gideon. "Oh, greetings Prince Gideon," she bent her neck down and held her hands together in front of her body very obediently. "Why are you out young lady? Is something going on here?" Gideon couldn't help but feel bad for his Ophelia, her body was shivering due to cold. Mr. Harrold didn't admire the tone Gideon used, it could mean Prince Gideon had some sort of weird idea about them. "My sister is not feeling well, she could use a medicine," she inquired in a very low, sad tone, "I was just on my way to the castle to get the permit but the weather got worse," She lied while looking down at her fingers. "No need to bother the lord at this time, you have my permission," it was extremely hard for Gideon to act like he didn't care. Ever since he had laid his eyes on the beautiful Ophelia, he had fallen for her courage and kindness. They remind friends for some time before Gideon couldn't help but express his feelings for her. Their love wasn't a result of some bodily lust or game of entertainment, they had first known each other, befriended each other, and then express their feelings over the years. "Here you go," Mr. Harrold hurriedly grabbed the medicine and set it on the table, but then the despicable human inside him jumped out, "What about the money? You can't just take it and leave." The moment Ophelia was about to touch her hand with the medicine, Mr. Harrold pulled the medicine back and said in his regular mean tone. Gideon slowly lifted his face to Mr. Harrold, who was staring at Ophelia. The anger in Gideon's veins made his eyes change color, he immediately looked down and closed his eyes angrily. How dare this low-life Peasant taunt his girl?
