Chapter 5 - 05. Spill the tea.

Henry's eyes darted to her neck, and as tempted as he was to sink his teeth into her, he heavily resisted.

⟪H⟫ No, Achilles I won't do it.

⟪A⟫ Henry don't be a fool, she's our mate!

Henry quickly blocked, his inner beasts thoughts away.

"Are you heading home, sweetheart?"

Haru nodded her head and gently pulled away from him. However as she started walking away towards the mouth of the exit, her whole body staggered to one side.

"Woah," Henry was quick to steady her, with his hands coming upon her waist.

"I'm S-sorry." Haru said shivering slightly in his hold. She was still shocked by the fact that she'd almost got robbed and harassed a few moments ago.

She went to pull out of his hold, however her legs wobbled again.

In the next minute, Henry easily scooped her up in his strong arms, making her gasp out of surprise.

"H-henry?" She whispered out, surprised and flustered all at once. Henry found her so cute.

"Sweetheart," He spoke warmly, making her heart skip stones. Haru instantly blushed at his sudden close proximity. His voice was so deep and charming that it made her forget about her thug, he assaulted in return for her.

"You're shaking like a leaf. Now come with me, I'll take you home."

Her heart fluttered even more.

"Oh? I ummm...I-I csn ttt-take the bus home?" She nervously stuttered before him.

⟪A⟫I wanna take you home and tie you up to my bed and —

⟪H⟫ Achilles! Stop giving me wild ideas about what I want to do her.

⟪A⟫ Well, it's only a matter of time, until she gives in to us.

Achilles said, with a knowing tone. For he could easily, smell her low-key lusty pheromones for him.

"You're not taking the bus home."

⟪A⟫ That's right, you're coming home with us.

⟪H⟫ Calm yourself Achilles, we are not kidnapping her.

"W-what?"

His secret beloved asked a puzzled cute tone. Henry was determined to get her home safe.

"You don't want the thief to come and attack you again. Especially, when I'm not around, right?"

He was right, Haru feared the brutish thug if he came back, and she wouldn't have the power to fight him off.

"I, guess. But Henry, I don't want to trouble you."

Haru said, controlling her sudden flustered levels for him, and finally speaking to him in a normal tone.

He then let out a deep short laugh, that made her toes curl and butterflies flutter in her belly.

"Sweetheart, you're no trouble at all."

He walked out of the alley way, with her in protectively in his arms.

He then gently set her down on the ground and opened up his door vehicle for her.

"Henry," Haru was still a nervous wreck, and way too independent to rely on others. Especially new strangers.

"Please, get in Haru, I'm not letting you take the bus home this hour. Look, I just want you to get home safe, so please will you let me do that for you?" He ceased her imminent protest. After finally giving into his insistent request, she nodded her head.

"Ok, you're right, I don't think I should be going home alone at this hour."

Henry soon drove her home after she gave him the directions to her house. Throughout the uiet car journey, both Haru and Henry couldn't help stealing secret glances at one another.

When they both turned their heads at the same time, Haru blushed and averted her eyes away from his striking rich ever green eyes.

"Thank you for dropping me home." She finally broke the silence, with her nervous tone of voice, whilst biting her lower lip.

"That's alright, sweetheart." Henry replied back in his dark smooth tone of voice.

Haru couldn't help but find him more and more attractive, especially when he called her sweetheart. Especially when he spoke to her like that, it gave her more butterflies in her belly.

After half an hour, they soon arrived.

"Want me to carry you inside the house, princess style?" He teased with a wink.

Haru, playfully slapped his arm making him chuckle.

"No thank-you. I'm feeling much better."

Her sweet intoxicating scent filled up his car, and all Henry wanted to do was to pull her up on his lap and make out with her.

⟪A⟫ Do it!

⟪H⟫ Don't tempt me, Achilles.

Henry said, trying to die down his inner beasts, illustrious desires with her.

"Thanks for saving me tonight, and taking me back home safe and sound. I really appreciate that Henry."

Haru said in all honesty.

"Anytime, sweetheart." Henry said locking eyes with her once more.

With a short blushing smile, Haru unbuckled herself and went to get out of the car when suddenly Henry grabbed her by her wrist.

She sharply gasped out suddenly frightened of him, when she felt his sudden high energy, almost to her wolf.

She had no idea that Achilles had surfaced for a spilt second before Henry gained back control immediate control.

⟪H⟫ Achilles!

⟪A⟫ You know what I want to do?

He pried his eyes away from her neckline, with great difficulty.

Sensing her alarmed pheromones, Henry immdiately let go of her, keeping her at ease.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you like that. I just wanted to ask for your number?"

"Oh? Umm...Why?" She asked nervously biting her lower lip.

⟪A⟫ Don't bite your lip, like that.

⟪H⟫ Control your desires, Achilles, do you want to scare her away?!

Henry fumed back at his inner beast, who rolled his eyes and decided to hold back on his heavy sexual desires for her.

Haru on the other hand, asked confused as hell. Why would this crazy handsome guy want her number out of the blue?

Quite frankly, Henry had made up his mind to get to know her. Deeply. He wanted to know, why he felt extremely strongly about her, when she wasn't a she-wolf.

Her scent was nowhere near close to a normal human either.

He wouldn't dare let her know that nor did he wish to come of as a creep and ask her out, not after the harassing jerk she previously met.

"It's not to ask you out or anything, I just wanted you to call me if that thug ever troubled you again?"

"And I wish to be your friend that you can rely upon, if you're ever in trouble, sweetheart."

Her butterflies returned back as he spoke to her in a warm and pure, concerned way.

Seeing how he handled himself and protected her, Haru relaxed further. She took her hand in his smiling at what he said.

"Ok, I'd like that to have you as a friend too."

After exchanging her number, Henry got out of the car and pulled her car door open like the perfect gentleman.

Haru then got out of the car keeping her heart beats in check. What was going on with her and her lust cells for him?! 

Don't fall for him, don't fall for him!

He's just a friend! She strictly reminded. She wouldn't dare spoil her new found relationship and tell him that she already harboured, a strong crush for him.

"Goodnight, Henry."

"Goodnight, sweetheart."

.

.

.

A couple of days soon passed and Haru didn't see her friendly saviour again.

Henry kept his distance for now and decided to stalk her from a healthy distance. He'd only make sure she'd reach home safely after work hours, and he hated the fact that she took the bus home.

He occasionally and purposely bumped into her when she went jogging and sometimes he would cheekily bump into her when she went grocery shopping.

He frowned upon the fact that she hadn't contacted him and wondered if she felt the tingles like he did with her.

He was craving for a taste of her lips and Henry decided to approach her best friend, instead.

"Nora, I need a favour."

"Oh my gosh, Alpha Henry Bradford! Alpha, I'm just in the middle of my patrol, and my name is Roselyn."

She reminded low key finding him annoying for forgetting her name again.

"It doesn't matter what your name is. I want you at my Ranger club within an hour or I'm firing you."

He said in his strict Alpha voice making her instantly obey.

"Yes, Alpha I'm on my way!"

Roselyn then reached his club. She wasn't alone, for her Alpha and Beta were present. She secretly worried about why he called her put of the blue,for she was a low ranking omega wolf, who had just joined his pack house two years ago.

"Great we can get the meeting started."

"Sir if this is about me arriving late to work I'm sorry! My grandma hasn't been keeping well and —"

One of the main reasons she joined the secret pack house was due to the fact the salary was good, as a night guard in their pack. Roselyn helped out with her grandma's medical bills and take care of her, even though she highly disapproved of them, for many, many reasons.

"Nora, take a seat it's not about you or your grandma."

"It's not?"

"It's about your friend, Haru Mizono."

"What about her?"

"I'd like to get close to her. I'd like to get to learn more about her." Henry said in a curious yet low-key excited tone.

"With all due respect Alpha, Haru doesn't know about the fact that I'm a werewolf, nor do I wish her to know."

"I agree, she shouldn't know."

"Wait, why do you want to get to know her?"

"I found her scent odd. Your friend, is not a human is she?" He asked with her tone sharp like the edge of a knife.

"Ummm...Well...Alpha, I agree she- She ummm has a unique scent..." Roselyn heart trembled, as she averted her gaze from her Alpha and shuffled nervously, upon her seat.

"Don't you dare lie to your Alpha." Came a second voice from the corner.

"I'm not supposed to say."

In a sudden blink Henry got to Roselyn and invoked his special mind technique hypnotic powers,by glowing his eyes silver at her.

"Spill the tea. Tell me what she is, Roselyn." Henry commanded.

"She's an Apsara."

Henry then let go, wishing to find out more about his precious mysterious girl.

Roselyn snapped out of her sudden blank mind state and she hot up disturbed from her chair.

"You read my mind!"

"Of course he did. No-one hides the truth from the Alpha." Mark said, eyeing up Roselyn in an interesting way.

Interestingly enough, Roselyn found Mark to be rather hot more than her Alpha. Even so, she now was not the time to be attracted to him, especially when her innocent friend whom they might kill, was at risk.

"Please, don't hurt my friend, she's not a rogue!"

Roselyn said worried that Alpha Henry was going to kill her, since he didn't like rogues or other supernatural creatures like goblins, vamps and the very extinct witches passing through his heavily protected town.

Henry chuckled amused.

"Nora," he went back calling her by her fake name, making Roselyn internally roll her eyes.

"My wolf and I feel strongly about her. Rest assured, I would never harm her."

Roselyn was shortly puzzled by what he said, but nevertheless she relaxed knowing how her Alpha was protective about everyone in his town and territory.

"Fine, what would you like me to do?"

Henry smirked.

⟪H⟫ I can think of a few things.

Achilles, mischievously thought.

.

Meanwhile, back at Haru's cabin house.

She couldn't stop thinking about Henry, and how he saved her.

She stepped out of the shower, with her butter yellow towel wrapped around her. She soon stripped out of her bathrobe, letting it fall to the floor. She soon change into her comfortable pjs and got in her bed.

What a terrifying night it had been for her. If it wasn't for Henry, showing up like he did, who knows what had happened to her. She made a mental note, to give him her thanks with a small gift.

She then pulled out her phone and finally found the courage to text her crush.

Haru: "Hi Henry, this is Haru Mizono, I hope you remember me? I'm the one you saved from that horrible thief a couple of nights ago?"

After a few moments, Henry replied back.

Henry: Of course I remember you. Everything, ok sweetheart?

She blushed when he wrote that. She could never forget about him, or his pretty forrest green eyes.

Haru: Yes, I just wondered if you were free to meet up this Friday?

As much as he wished to go over to her right now and cancel his plans for Friday, he couldn't. There was that monthly pack meeting he had to attend to with his neighbouring Alphas to discuss the major rogue problems they faced amongst other supernatural issues.

Henry: Sorry sweetheart, I have a meeting to attend to in town, how about Sunday?

Haru: Oh, I'm working on Sunday, at Julia's Pizzeria.

Haru sighed with a frown, for she wished to see him again.

Henry: I see, how about Monday?

Haru: Sorry, I'm working on Monday too.

Suddenly her phone rang, and Haru's flushed startled and she soon answered it.

"H-hello?" She answered in her slight nervous tone. God, this man made her blush even through the phone.

"Hello, sweetheart," His deep smooth, voice charmed her to the core. Haru's butterflies danced inside of her as she heard his voice after a long time.

"Now, why can't you meet me on Monday?" He asked as she heard him typing something in the background, which sounded like a keyboard.

"Oh, ummm I'm working late at the Pizzeria."

"I see, well how about Tuesday, then?"

Finally a day she was free.

"Sure, Tuesday sounds good."

"Great, I'll text you the details and I'll see you then."

"Ok."

She heard some more typing in the background.

"Hey, Henry?"

"Yes, sweetheart?"

"Where are you now?"

He stopped typing.

"Why, do you miss me?"  There was a slight tease in his tone, to which Haru almost blushed to. Talking to him, made her happy and she couldn't explain why.

A huge part of her did miss him, but she'd never let him know.

"No, I was j-just curious? It's pretty late."

"I'm at my office in town, completing some boring work on some staff employees at my company."

"Wait, you own a company? As in you're a CEO?"

Now that she thought back on it, his flashy business suit and his rich looking rolex along with his car made sense.

"Yes, I have a private security company in town."

"Oh? I thought Roselyn mentioned you worked as a Forrest Ranger?"

"Whose, Roselyn sweetheart?" He asked continuing on with his work, whilst he spoke to her.

"Oh, just a second, let me send you her pic."

//DING//

He opened his message notification and smirked.

"Ah, yes I remember her now, she works for my security company. Lovely girl, I always call her Nora, though." 

"What?" Haru smiled a little confused.

"I'm pretty bad with names, sweetheart." He admitted with a short shrug.

"Well, I hope you remember mine." She said biting her lower lip.

"Hmmm, I rather call you kitten." He flirted making her blush.

She chuckled finding him funny.

"No, no, it's just Haru, to you sir,"

"Ok, kitten."

Haru giggled again and soon fell into a short conversation with him about his day in general. She had fallen at ease in talking to him. She was immensely happy that she'd found someone decent, funny and charming to talk to. 

"Kitten, I'm so happy you called."

"Henry, don't call me kitten." 

"What about Candy?"

"That's even worse! Just call me Haru."

"Ok, kitten." She could practically hear him grinning, winding her up.

"You're not going to call me by my name are you?" She asked slightly annoyed yet happy with him.

"Nope."

"Well, in that case I should call you something too."

"What do you have in mind?"

He asked ceasing his work once more. Chatting to her was way more entertaining than the girls he had in his club. He hated when they practically through themselves at him and begged him to calm their heat.

As much as he liked to entertain them in the past, he had no longer had desires to do that, anymore. The only one he truly wished to desire and make endless love to was his precious, mysterious girl.

"Mr Fireman."

He chuckled, amused.

"Why Mr Fireman?" He curiously asked.

He was sure as hell, build nice, strong and tall like one, Haru secretly thought.

"What, no offence but you really do remind me of this strong looking fireman. Anyways, you saved me twice from danger, so I think that name suits you well." She admitted.

Henry smirked, as he took in her compliments. He was glad he was there to save her and it was only a matter of time, when they soon became really, really close. He planned to tell her the truth about himself eventually but first, he wished to learn her truth.

"Ok, I can work with that...Kitten."

"Henry!"

"Sweetheart,"

"Better."

"Send me your picture."

"Why?"

"Because I'd like to have one of you."

He admitted. He wished to set her as his background picture on his phone, PC and laptop. 

"Hmmm, well I don't want to give it to you."

"Kitten, you're being very naughty."

She chuckled finding him funny.

"You're not going to give it to me?"

"Nope." She replied mimicking him back.

"Ok, well we'll see about that."

"Why, what are you going to do?"

"Kitten, I can't tell you everything."

Haru then let out a soft yawn.

"Go to sleep kitten, you sound tired."

"Ok, don't stay up too late either Mr Fireman,"

Henry chuckled shortly, loving his new nickname he gave her. 

"Goodnight, Henry."

"Sweetdreams, sweetheart."

Little did she know, that he was going to give her a dream like no other tonight, thanks to his strong mystical powers he possessed.

Haru was in her pizzeria, mopping the floor.

When the doorbell chimed.

"I'm sorry, we're closed." She said not looking up, and carried on with her cleaning duties for the night.

The door then shut locked, and she finally looked up.

She gasped out of surprise, when she saw who it was.

"You're not supposed to be in here?"
