A week later.
"What do you mean you won't move out here, we are your family, Haru!" Mr Hiro Mizono, Haru's adoptive father fumed.
"I told you, I have a job and boyfriend." She stressed.
"Does this boyfriend know what you are?" Asked Mrs Makino Mizono, Haru's adoptive mother.
They were both humans and at an elderly age at 56 years. They had adopted Haru late, when she was only a tender age of 4.
They had no idea about her true powers untill they kicked in at the age of 8.
Both of them were shocked, and Haru had run away from home thinking she didn't belong.
Unfortunately, a bad hunting clan that hunted her kind, caught her. If it wasn't for Makino, pulling the trigger Haru would have been taken by the bad hunter.
"He will in due time, I just havn't gotten around in telling him the truth."
"Haru, you can't trust anyone with your secret!"
"Well, Theo already knows."
"What?!"
"How the hell does that treacherous gangster know?"
"I don't know. But it doesn't matter anymore. We have finally escaped him, and we are all free of him."
"That we are." Makino agreed.
"You have one more week to decide to stay with us here. If you don't Haru. You will never see us again."
Hiro Mizono stood up from the dinner table and then stormed out of the apartment house.
"Mom, you understand don't you?"
Makino gave Haru a warm smile. Even though they weren't blood related, she had brought her up like her own daughter. And every Mother knew, their daughter's feelings.
"You're in love with him, aren't you?"
"Yes."
"Well, I hope he's strong enough to keep you safe."
Makino then got up.
"Where are you going?"
"I have a late night shift at the convenience store and your father is back to his old ways, gambling again."
"Mom, you've got to stop him!" Haru stressed.
Makino rolled her eyes. She had enough of dealing with his gambling addiction, and she was fed up from bailing him out whenever he got his drunkard ass into trouble.
"I won't. I'm planning on leaving him."
"What?!"
"Don't you see Haru. He's calling you to leach off of you. You've already suffered and sacrificed yourself for us once, and I won't let it happen again."
Makino said in all honesty. She felt bad about giving Haru away to that intimidating bastard Theo.
"I want you to be happy Haru, and I'm sorry for not being able to save from Theo sooner."
"Mom, please don't blame yourself. We were in no position to pay him back and you don't have to worry about Theo anymore. He's in the past now and he won't trouble us anymore. You guys did the right thing escaping and so did I."
Makino pulled Haru into her arms and controlled her waterworks.
"Oh my sweet girl. I'm glad you're safe."
"So am I, Mom."
Makino then planted a sweet kiss upon her daughter's head.
"Alright, I better get going to work before my boss gets annoyed."
"Have a good night shift Mom."
"Don't stay up too late."
"I won't." With that being said, Makino grabbed her coat and scarf and left.
It was past 9pm, after cleaning and tidying up, Haru decided to got out for a short stroll.
Alot was on her mind.
Yes, she definitely loved Henry, however she didn't know him, that well.
They had only just began dating and she'd only knew him well over a month.
As she strolled out in the open dark empty park. A short rustle was heard at the back.
Just as Haru turned around, she came to an immediate frightening stop.
"Impossible." She whispered out.
⟪A⟫ Haru!
⟪H⟫ Achilles don't!
But Achilles who had flown a thousand miles just to see her. His precious beloved mate.
In excitement, he started to run over to her.
Haru eyes went wide in fright when the wolf recognised her, just as it did it.
Achilles took no time pouncing on her. He gently pushed her on the ground, and gave a lick to her face, whilst she cried out in alarm.
Anyone would at this point, since he was a pretty huge wolf.
"Kyaaa!!! Get away!!! Get away!!!"
Haru screamed out covering her face with her hands, as it licked at her palms next.
Achilles let out a happy howl in the air, after he'd finally found her.
He then stepped away from her as she got up and crawled away from with her eyes bawling out.
⟪H⟫ Achilles!
⟪H⟫ Oh, crap I scared her too much!
With her heart pounding away, her survival senses kicked in and Haru turned on her heel and ran away.
⟪A⟫ Oh, no you don't!
With ease, Achilles leapt over her head and blocked her path. He didn't wish for her to run away from him that quickly.
.
.
.
Haru watched with her heart pounding away in fright.
"What are you doing here?"
⟪A⟫ Well, I've obviously come to play with you, baby.
It let out a short low growl, making Haru gasped out in more fright.
⟪H⟫ Quit growling at her as if you want to eat her.
⟪A⟫ At some point, Henry, you know we both will.
.
.
"Nevermind, forget I asked!"
Her eyes zoomed in on it's severally deadly sharp teeth.
It wagged it's tail excitedly at her and it went to head back over to her.
However this time, Haru slammed her hands upon the grassy clearing, and suddenly sprung out a tall rooted vine wall that wildly stretched out wide, and grew to at least 12 ft tall.
Haru never planned to expose her powers to anyone. But this was an animal.
An animal who just witnessed her Earthly powers.
Henry in his true form as Achilles then saw the wall she had created between them. It had also spring out with little blue wallflowers too.
⟪H⟫ Oh Moon! That was so cool!
Then they heard her footsteps retreating away.
⟪A⟫ She's running away!
⟪H⟫ Let her go Achilles. Besides we need to go too, we don't want other humans to see us.
Achilles growled annoyed, but complied knowing his dominant human side was right.
.
.
.
"Holy crap that was close!!!"
Haru quickly retreated back to her parents apartment and locked the door behind, catching her breath.
Her wolf was in Japan?!
.
.
.
"Say that again? You saw who now?"
Haru gave him a short scowl.
"Henry don't laugh, please you have to believe me. I'm not going crazy! I really saw that Wolf Moon again. God, I've got goosebumps on me. I really thought it wa going to bite me."
⟪A⟫ Oh, I'll bite you alright.
⟪H⟫ I can't wait, till she knows the truth about us.
⟪A⟫ Speaking of which, when will she tell us hers?
"Hmmm, perhaps it has a twin?"
Henry said secretly wishing that Haru would share her supernatural secret with him.
For now he was loving how she paced back and fourth in her bewildering confusion. He'd also managed to get back to his hotel in time, before she video called him, at sharp midnight, like she always did.
"Sweetheart."
"What?"
"Guess what?"
"What?" She asked dropping the subject about the Moon Wolf.
"I'm in Japan, beautiful."
Haru let out a short amused laugh, and gave him a incredulous look.
"No, you're not. You're messing with me."
Henry then took his phone and pulled the curtain apart.
"I'm not."
"Holy crap, that's Tokyo Tower!" She grabbed her phone from the small table.
"I told you."
"Henry that's amazing!"
"I had a business meeting, and coincidentally, it just happened to be in Tokyo, where you are at."
Bullshit. There was no business meeting. Achilles was going crazy inside of him and Coral along with Mark and Dante had quickly tracked her via GPS through Henry's midnight calls with her.
"That's perfect! When can I see you?!"
⟪A⟫ Oh baby, I can sneak in through your balcony now!
Achilles was already horny AF for her.
⟪H⟫ That's a bad idea, when the walls are thin.
⟪A⟫ Then get her to our hotel, I want to make sweet love to her.
Henry quickly died down his inner beasts excited thoughts, of course he wanted to make love to her, but something told him that his beloved wasn't quite ready for him to go down on her like that. Even so, he was more than happy to please her in other ways.
"Why don't we meet up at the local cherry blossom festival in town, say 8pm? It's near a Blue Dragon Shrine in the Ichigoku town?"
"Oh great, it's not too far from where I live." Haru replied with a warm smiling gracing her face. She had no idea what really Henry had in store for her when she agreed, to meet him there.
"Great, I'll see you soon, sweetheart."
Haru, smiled and kissed him through the phone.
"Goodnight, Fireman."
She soon cut the call, and plopped on her bed, squeeling out in excitement.
She honestly couldn't wait to see him.
