Selena pressed herself against something warm and soft and smelled good next to her. She didn't even hear the alarm that had been ringing for almost five minutes.
Grant stared hatefully at the thing that made a deafening sound. Since this morning, his Luna had been sleeping with her arms around him and he wanted to prolong these moments.
"Selena! Wake up!" A shout from the door made Grant growl in annoyance. Can't we just spend some time together undisturbed?
The man remembered the time he had taken Arabell back to England. At that time, they were alone in the open and it was a beautiful memory that always filled his days in the cell, even every time he looked at his Luna corpse which had rotted until only bones remained.
Selena muttered in protest. She even tightened her embrace on Grant's body which greeted the girl's reaction with joy.
"Selena! Get up or you'll be late for work!"
Selena's eyes suddenly opened wide. The girl gasped when the first sight she saw was the face of the dog she brought with her last night.
Selina sat down. she sighed and ruffled the fur covering the creature's head. "You surprised me."
Selena then yawned and stretched. She turned off the alarm and went down from the bed. However, Grant tugged at the girl's pajamas by the snout, hoping her Luna would return to sleep.
"I have to work," Selena said as she pulled off the clothes that were in her dog's muzzle and headed for the bathroom.
Grant jumped down. He wanted to come along like last night. However, Selena suddenly stamped her foot. The girl turned her back and said firmly. "No! I have to use the toilet and I'm not comfortable with you around!"
Grant looked at the girl in disappointment. Even so, he finally got back into bed and gave Selena some personal time.
Thirty minutes later, his Luna came out wearing nothing but a towel and headed to the closet. The unhappiness he had just felt suddenly vanished as he watched Selena remove the cloth wrapped around her body to put on the uniform.
With those sexy hips, we're bound to have lots of kids, Grant predicted.
Selena, who did not realize that she was being the object of harassment, took a gun from the drawer and holstered it. She then returned to the bathroom to retrieve the bucket containing her dirty clothes.
The girl walked out of the room. However, as she neared the door, Selena turned to Grant and shouted, "Grant, come on!"
Grant suddenly jumped out of bed. They walked down to the ground floor.
*****
The sound of the front-loading washing machine was annoying to Grant's sensitive hearing. However, the man was able to hold it in as he watched his Luna underwear rotate 360 degrees repeatedly in front of him.
Amazingly, this is more practical than dipping it in the river and rubbing it by hand.
"Hey, let's go to the kitchen, you must be hungry."
Selena's invitation broke Grant's concentration. He voluntarily followed directly to the room in the hallway. The creature's stomach rumbled with hunger when the smell of ham and fried eggs filled the room.
In the dining room which doubles as the kitchen, Rachel, wearing a gray blazer, is already sitting on one of the four wooden chairs that encircle the round glass dining table. Grant's lips suddenly lifted slightly when he observed the thick make-up that was now covering the skin of Selena's housemate.
Is she a theater member?
Grant sneezed a few times when he smelled the woman's strong perfume. He was grateful that his Luna didn't use smells that would disguise her true body scent, well, maybe just something rubbed into her armpits, but that wasn't too bothersome.
"Good morning," said Selena. The girl opened the refrigerator and took out a box of milk.
Rachel, who was sipping coffee, turned her head to Selena. "I don't make breakfast for Grant. I don't know what he likes."
The creature in question looked up. He sniffed the smell of cooking from the plate on the table.
"Hey! Don't!" said Rachel to a growling Grant. The woman turned to her best friend and grumbled, "Selena, you have to teach that dog some manners."
"Grants!" Selena suddenly looked over her shoulder and joined in nagging her dog. "Rachel is my friend. I don't want you to growl at her."
Grant snorted in disgust. He then jumped up onto the chair and sat down like a human. Look? Satisfied? I am an ethical man. Hmm, what is this? The value of banking stocks skyrocketed?
"You brought home a really weird dog," Rachel said. She furrowed his brows as he watched the creature begin to read the newspaper that was on the table.
Selena drank the milk she had poured into the glass. The girl then sat between Rachel and Grant. "You know, I also feel like he likes to watch when I change clothes or take a shower."
Rachel leaned over. The woman looked closely at the creature that was currently licking the corner of Selena's milk-stained lips and said, "Maybe you should take him to the animal shelter. I'm afraid the dog will harass you sooner or later."
Grant rolled his eyes. It was he who had been harassed by his Luna last night, though he had no intention of complaining.
"Grant has helped me. I owe him," Selena replied as she thrust her plate at the creature, "eat, I'm not hungry yet."
The creature glanced at Selena and then devoured his breakfast. Hmm, delicious.
"You have to buy him a dog plate, immunize him, and put a badge around his neck," Rachel said and started eating the eggs off her plate. "Flea medicine is also important."
Grant frowned. He doesn't like having to eat on a dog plate or wearing an ID, and he doesn't understand the meaning of the word immunization.
Selena supported her chin with her right hand and took the time to think. The girl then glanced at Grant. "Today, I'm only on duty until noon, maybe I'll buy animal supplies and equipment on the way home."
Grant didn't react. He had to find a way to be treated more humanely by his Luna without having to change his form.
"Good idea, I have to meet a client tonight. He is a doctor from the hospital that I already told you about before. If it works, I can get a commission on the sale of the newest drug. We're going to have dinner out, don't wait for me, okay?"
"Okay. I wish you luck," said Serena. The girl took the dirty dishes to the sink and washed them.
"How about him? Are you taking him to work?" Rachel asked. She looked back at Grant who was busy watching Selena's hip movements.
Selena dried her hands on the small towel that was nearby. The girl then turned to look at Grant. "I'll leave it at home."
"Hmm, you'll have to get the newspaper ready for him to poop," Rachel replied, raising her drooping glasses.
Grant squinted at the increasingly annoying woman in front of him. From earlier until now, the advice that came out of the woman's mouth was useless.
Maybe, I can push her to the ground when she stands, the man thought calculatingly.
"Good idea," said Selena who agreed with Rachel's words. She opened a drawer, pulled out some old newspapers, and stepped out of the kitchen. "Grant! Here!"
Grant snorted. The creature jumped down and followed Selena in annoyance. His current Luna gave orders too often, later he would show the girl that he was the one who had the right to give orders.
Selena walked towards the ground-floor bathroom. She opened the door wide and placed the newspaper in the corner of the bathroom. "You can pee in there."
Grant gave his Luna an exasperated look. Maybe, tonight, he would make love with his luna just to punish her.
Unfortunately, Selena is completely unaware of her pet dog's rotten intentions. The girl ducked slightly and she patted Grant's head lightly and said, "I have to go, be well at home."
Grant didn't act. He let Selena walk out of the house to work.
*****
Half an hour later, the house was empty and Grant in human form without wearing a single thread was walking from room to room checking the contents of the place.
Some modern equipment aroused his curiosity, such as a box object that can produce images and sound, or another box that only produces sound without an image. However, the item that caught his interest the most was the large cupboard in the kitchen which gave off a chilly air, when the door was opened, and contained various sweet-smelling foods.
Grant reached for the contents of the refrigerator and tasted it. He finished breakfast by eating almost all the food stored in the refrigerator.
Grant yawned from being full. He then decided to sleep in Selena's and his room. All night, he could not close his eyes because he resisted the urge to have sex with the girl.
Worried that his Luna will come home while he sleeps, Grant transforms into a wolf first before closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep.
