Katherine, who was herself scared of what happened, immediately fell down in the water as her concentration snapped and she looked up at the man who used his werewolf speed and rushed to her.
Within a second, she was scooped in his arms.
"What was here? I felt some bubbles moving inside the water. Something was here, wasn't it?" Maximus asked, looking around in the water while hugging Katherine close to his chest.
"I farted," Katherine blurted out the first excuse she could so the man would stop looking into the water.
Maximus froze in his place for a second.
To say he was surprised by her would be an understatement.
First, he was sure he felt something weird in the water, like the same otherworldly energy he had felt in the magical forest when he had gone to meet Amanda.
And second, even if she did that, she was surely one kind of a girl to agree to it so openly.
And for some reason, he found this cute.
