Phone rings were heard and several criminals were passing by in handcuffs across the hall at the police station. However, in all that busyness, a female police officer was seen lazing around.
Selena pressed her forehead against the desk. She was tired from last night's events. Grant's behavior is getting more and more annoying.
Having found that almost all of her comfortable cotton underwear had been torn off a few months ago, the strange dog was now forcing her to sleep naked. Again and again, she had to fend off the muzzle of an animal that tried to pull the pajamas off her body.
Not only that, the food in the refrigerator ran out quickly, in fact, she and Rachel had smelled grilled chicken when opening the door, where only Grant was in it and suspiciously as if that dog had just watched an adult movie channel.
"Maybe the dog was possessed by the spirit of a perverted human who died because he was hit by a car," said Elizabeth, one of the co-workers who heard Selena's complaint.
"Hey, go home, aren't you on duty tonight? Get some rest," continued another policewoman who was grinning, "if the dog misbehaves, do as I did to my husband by locking him out of the room.
Selena immediately raised her head. The idea of shooing Grant to sleep in the living room was a good idea.
"I think I'll take your advice," Selena replied. She got up and said goodbye.
*****
The light of the lamp reflected the silhouette of a man who had a muscular body on the bathroom wall. Grant took Selena's soap and rubbed it over his body while whistling. Bathing using warm water from the shower is much more comfortable than swimming in the lake.
Ten minutes later, Grant turned off the water. The man stepped out of the bathtub. He dried himself off with Selena's towel and started brushing his teeth.
However, Grant's body immediately stiffened. The man glanced slowly at the wide-open bathroom door before he suddenly transformed into a wolf form.
In just seconds the bedroom door suddenly opened. Selena walked into the bedroom and looked around with furrowed brows in confusion.
"Grant?"
Selena walked over to the bathroom. Her frown deepened when she saw the creature was biting her toothbrush and the condition of the bathroom was as if it had just been used. The bathtub was wet, and her towel was lying next to her strange dog.
"Grant, did… you just showered?"
Grant didn't answer. He just dropped the toothbrush off the muzzle. The creature stood with its front feet on the sink and turned on the faucet to rinse its mouth.
Selena's eyes widened at the dog's behavior. In all her life, she had never heard of a dog that could gargle. "Enough! From now on you will sleep in the living room!"
Grant suddenly turned to his Luna with a confused feeling. Don't women prefer it when their mate is clean? Why did she even look annoyed?
"Get out now!" Selena shouted. She also used the index finger of her right hand to chase away the creature.
Grant came out of the bathroom with a resigned grunt. Selena will soon enter her lunar period. He could smell her scent. Maybe that's what caused his Luna to grumble more and more often.
Grant let Selena slam the bedroom door in his face. The creature then lay lazily on the floor, waiting until there was no more sound of activity in the room.
*****
Several minutes passed before he got up on all fours. Grant walked over and opened the door to Rachel's room which was next to Selena's.
The two rooms shared a bathroom, so Grant made his way back into Selena's room without difficulty. He jumped lightly onto the bed and lay down beside his sleeping Luna.
Grant snorted. His Luna has to learn many things, one of which is that mates should always share, including the bed.
*****
The rhythmic sound of horns from outside the house managed to surprise Selena. The girl sat up and looked around with her heart pounding frantically.
Selena's gaze stopped for a moment at a large, white-haired creature that looked slumbering. How did he get in?!
Selena suddenly left the bed feeling uneasy. The girl's suspicion that Grant is indeed a dog possessed by an evil spirit makes her try to stay away.
Selena changed clothes as fast as she could. The girl tried not to wake her strange dog and hurried down the stairs.
*****
Rachel didn't seem to be home yet. The living room is in complete darkness.
Helped by the light from outside the window, Selena hurriedly opened the door and stepped out of the house. But before she could close the door, Grant suddenly sped out and headed for the patrol car.
It was dark. Grant had no intention of putting his Luna in danger. Vampires can't roam during the day, but at sunset, that's when the blood-sucking creatures start looking for prey.
"Hey!" Selena protested as the creature opened the passenger door with its muzzle. "Grant, come back!"
Unfortunately, as usual, Grant casually ignored the girl's nagging. He sniffed the surroundings before sitting comfortably in the back seat.
"Hoa! Hello, Grant," said Charles, but there was no response from the dog.
Not long after, Selena finally gave up. She got into the car with a frown on her face and sat down next to Charles before slamming the car door.
"You see? He's getting weirder and weirder," Selena whispered with her back bent slightly to shorten the distance between her and Charles.
Grant growled in disapproval. His Luna shouldn't be too close to other men.
Charles suddenly gulped. He glanced at the big beast then whispered back, "Selena, stay away. He doesn't like you getting too close to me."
"Great! Now, he's starting to control who I can talk to," the girl grumbled as she pulled her seatbelt and put it on.
Grant grinned happily. His Luna had finally learned something useful.
The roar of the vehicle sounded smooth when the car drove at a slow speed. Charles leaned back comfortably in the chair before he started the conversation.
"They found a new body."
Charles's sentence successfully attracted the attention of Selena and Grant. The two immediately turned their heads and the girl asked, "The vampire case?"
"Yes."
Strange, usually the vampires target the victim carefully. Grant listened to the conversation questioningly. The inability of the vampires to have offspring should cause the creature to try not to attract the attention of humans who could wipe out their kind.
Charles suddenly swerved. The vehicle was speeding towards an alley that had poor lighting. "Selena! That's the Monkey Man we're looking for!"
Grant immediately looked out the window. A pale white man wearing a long black coat seemed to walk out of the place. Selena immediately communicated with the head office when Charles drove the vehicle quickly.
Grant was amazed. He didn't expect that weak human to have such sharp eyes.
Hmm. So, it's called a brake. Watching the way the man ran the vehicle, Grant intended to give it a try one day.
Vehicle headlights shone on their targets. The Monkey Man immediately looked away, then immediately returned to the alley where he had exited the first time.
