"Does there have to be a reason to like someone?" Valdo asked back with a smirk on his face.
Vano smiled back, "then it's a shame because you like the wrong girl."
Of course Valdo was interested in the reason behind Vano's words.
"I don't know if I should tell you now. She, that girl, is my next prey," said Vano casually.
"Prey? You mean you want…" even Valdo couldn't continue his words.
"Yes, you know the people who have been prey for me. Can't you see all the criteria on her? She doesn't have a family and her life is miserable too. She also seems to have a pure soul. It would be even better if-"
Valdo hit Vano's desk hard. His eyes bulged perfectly with one hand tightly clenched.
"I already told you that I like her. It's never too late to change your mind. You can eat whoever you want, but never touch her!"
"Come on. She's just someone you've only known for a few days. I should be the one telling you that it's not too late. You can like other girls." Vano spoke so arrogantly.
"I don't want to! Until then I will defend her. If necessary, I will take her away from here!" Valdo threatened which made Vano laugh mockingly.
"Ha ha ha. I'm sorry, but you're a Lycaon. The fact is you won't be able to live without all the facilities my mother and I have given you. Do you think mom will be happy with your decision?"
This time Vano was right. Valdo is still in school and he still depends on his rich family. He immediately racked his brains and thought of another way.
"Let's face it, how about we make a agreement?" Valdo bargained.
"Agreement? Like what?" Vano sounded interested.
"I'll be working here after I graduate from school in two months and you'll have to let go of her after that," Valdo replied confidently.
"Three years." Vano commented briefly.
"Three years?" Valdo was confused.
"You have to work here for a minimum of three years and after that time, I will not only let Lexa go but you too."
Not answering right away, Valdo was once again deep in thought. Working in the company was not his dream at all. Seeing how horrible the conditions behind this magnificent building made him shudder. Vano to him is just a cold-blooded killer who hides behind luxurious clothes and expensive watches.
Even until this moment he hates Vano so much. He was the one who caused himself to turn into that terrible creature. It's something he's always been trying to hide. Vano never even apologized to him. Instead he thought that this was the best for him.
"In that case, okay. I agree. Just so you know, if it weren't for Lexa, I definitely wouldn't have agreed."
'Wow, okay. Then we agree." Vano reached out to shake his hand which was firmly greeted by Valdo.
The two brothers do have a dark past. Actually Vano is a werewolf and he is also the one who accidentally turned Valdo into another werewolf. Very long story.
It all started when Vano was 17 years old. He and his schoolmates camped in a forest on the outskirts of Laurent Town. Vano who was so ignorant chose to be alone. He accidentally entered and climbed into a deeper part of the forest while his other friends were busy with bonfire activities.
Unexpectedly, Vano met a very large wolf with very sharp fangs. His black fur gleamed in the full moonlight. Vano was really so shocked, but he wasn't afraid at all. He didn't back down even though his legs were shaking. The eyes of the two met each other.
The wolf jumped and easily crushed Vano's body with its sturdy legs. One of its legs with its pointed claws was right next to Vano's neck. He don't know where the courage and strength came from, Vano pushed the wolf's body as hard as he could. The wolf growled and clawed back at Vano's chest.
"Stop it! I know you're not ordinary wolf, so stop it. I know you understand what I'm saying." Vano confidently said even fresh blood already flowing in his chest.
For some reason the wolf chose to retreat and ran away. While Vano who was left groaned in relief. The problem now, his body suddenly felt so different. His body temperature increase rapidly as if his blood was boiling from within. The skin all over his body felt torn. It even started to have fangs growing between its teeth. Vano's body even towered and he could clearly see there were fine hairs covering the skin of his hands and feet. The young man fainted from the incomparable pain.
Vano woke up when he felt wetness on his head. The sun has not yet appeared, but the flames are already so beautiful. Vano quickly checked his body which was fine. Only his clothes were torn here and there.
Vano was surprised when he realized there was a middle-aged man standing in front of him. Wearing ripped jeans and a brown leather jacket. He moved to sit on the rocks not far from him. Vano was confused as to why he was there and whether what he was experiencing was just a dream or reality.
"What really happened to me?" asked Vano.
"What I'm about to say may not make sense, but in the end you'll have no choice but to believe. I'm sure you've heard the tales of werewolves. Last night you met one of them. That werewolf is me."
Of course the man's answer made Vano anticipate.
"Stay calm. I won't do anything to you. The full moon had disappeared so that terrible figure was also no longer there. It's just, last night I changed you to be like me. From now on, you are a werewolf," explained the man making Vano shake his head quickly.
"Why did you do that to me?!" Vano was so angry.
