The wind blew past her sense of smell. Liffi was stunned when she smelled sweet vanilla and masculine cedar wood scents. Liffi lifted her head to look at the man. A tall and handsome young man was standing in front of her. His hair was red as an autumn maple leave, and became even redder when the sunlight reflected on it.
The man was silent for a moment, then helped Liffi clean up the scattered paper.
Why did he stop and back??
Why did he stop in his tracks just for a girl he didn't even know before??
"BLACK!! That's him!! BLACK IS THERE!!" shouted the crowd.
"Shit!!" The man rose to his feet, and without asking he grabbed Liffi's hand and took her away. Get away from the pursuit of those crowds.
If only he could use his strength a little. If only this woman weren't at the crossroads. If only this woman hadn't stopped in his tracks. It was certain that he could avoid the journalists' pursuit.
Black turned down behind the wall alley, hiding. His breath roared irregularly, rising and falling rapidly. A few seconds later he was able to control it again.
"Who are you?" Liffi looked scared.
Liffi was surprised and scared, why did this man suddenly hold her hand? Why did he take her with him without word first? Who were the people who were chasing him earlier? Liffi looked curious at the man and his act.
Black helped Liffi, handing over all of her work drawings. The sheets were damaged and wrinkled. Liffi stared sadly, thirty five bucks were not a little money for her.
"What's your name? From which pack?" asked Black.
"Pack??" Liffi was confused, what's pack? she's not an animal, she's human. The group of humans was called a team or club, not a pack. Pack was a group of animals.
"Are you human?" Black was taken aback.
"Don't you?" Liffi snorted in annoyance, this man in front of her didn't even apologize for what he did.
"Sigh.... I have to go back to the office." Liffi ignored the man. Her face was wrinkled with exhaustion and confused about how to explain the damaged sheets to her senior.
"Wait!" Black held Liffi's hand, his strength was very strong.
"Auch !! It hurts ... let me go!" Liffi grimaced.
Black kissed Liffi's neck and smelled the scent emanating from the nape of her neck. Sweet and intoxicating aroma. Black loved it, a scent that only his mate should be able to emit.
But Liffi was a human, she was not a werewolf like him.
How could that be?
A human had the scent of a mate, his mate?
"KYAAA !!" Liffi was shocked by Black's deed.
"Don't come near, you pervert!!" Liffi hit Black on the shoulder with all her power. But that was just like a caress for Black.
"Hey ... hey ... easy, Girl!! I don't mean to scare you." Black tried to calm the girl down.
"I'm sorry I ran into you. Looks like all your papers are damaged, I'll be responsible." Black smiled.
Liffi was still staring at Black in half disbelief. But Liffi had no reason to refuse Black's offer anyway. Liffi was afraid that she would be fired.
"Are you going to repay all the damaged?" Liffi stammered.
"Yes. Let's print the picture again."
"Really? Won't you lie to me?" asked Liffi.
"Of course. What's your name?" Black raised his hand, about to invite Liffi to shake his hand.
"Liffi." Liffi shook Black's hand.
"My name is Black. Not my real name, people call me Black."
"Black ??? OMG !! Are you Black? Black guitarist from BLINK band?" Liffi glared in disbelief.
"Former member, the band was disbanded." Black smiled.
Liffi studied Black's face for a moment. No wonder she seemed to have seen this man somewhere. How stupid she was, till she didn't recognize a top musician was standing beside her.
"Come with me, Liffi. I'll take you to print your pictures."
"Thanks, Black," said Liffi.
Liffi trailed behind Black. Black raised the hood of his hoodie and put on the mask. Liffi looked at Black's broad back, her hands trembling slightly in disbelief. Still could not believe that she can walk with such a great artist.
"My flash disk?" Liffi searched her body for the tiny object.
The senior could kill her if it was missing. She had just almost freed from the problem of damaged sheets, but now the flash disk was missing. Liffi's face turned pale and her legs were limp, but Black smiled lightly.
"Is this what are you looking for?" Black took out a black flash disk from the pocket of his jacket.
"Right, thank you." Liffi got excited again, her hand was about to grab the flash disk from Black's hand. But Black raised his hand up. Liffi couldn't reach it because Black is taller than her.
"Eits, don't rush. Give me your cell phone number first, then I'll give you the flash." Black handed his cell phone to Liffi.
"Huh ?? What's for?" Liffi was confused. A major artist asked for Liffi's cell phone number? An orphaned girl, who couldn't even cover for the print out bill.
"To call you. Hurry up !! I don't have much time." Black urged Liffi.
Liffi took Black's cell phone and add her number. Black made a call, in an instance then Liffi's cell phone rang.
"You think I'm lying?"
"Who knows?!" Black smiled, his face was very handsome.
[Be conscious, Liffi. Don't get carried away with his face. He's BLACK ... the artist who was full of sensation and scandal with many women, ] though Liffi.
"This is the flash disk and here are 100 bucks. Use it to reprint the pictures." Black handed Liffi the money.
"This is too much, it was only thirty-five bucks."
"Use the rest to buy meals. Your stomach has been rumbling. I've bumped into you anyway, take it as an apology." Black put his mask back on.
"I don't have to. Really."
"Don't be stubborn, Liffi, and take it." Black had left Liffi before Liffi could thank him.
Black observed Liffi from a distance. This was the first time his heart rustled toward a human. Usually, humans were nothing more than just insects that satisfy their lust. Werewolf only married and was loyal to one mate all his life. But before meeting their mates they were free to have fun with any woman.
"Her scent is too strong. I can't hide my desire." Black saw his claw nails sticking out.
Was she possibly his mate? A Human? Black turned and hurried away leaving the place.
Liffi smiled and returned to her office. The scenes of her first meeting with Black kept playing on repeat in her mind. Liffi should have asked for Black's autograph.
