Haru reached the place of destination.
She was in awe of the cherry blossom trees that were in full blossom.
Having her camera with her, she instantly became drawn to their tranquil beauty and started taking shots of them.
Speaking of shots, she wished she'd brought her camera with her yesterday when she went out for a short stroll in the nearby park.
She never once expected to see her wolf from back home. Could, Henry have been right?
Was there a possible twin wolf she'd seen?
"Excuse me, may I get a picture?"
A familiar voice called from the back. Haru turned around and beamed with happiness.
"Henry!"
She smiled pulling him in for an immediate hug. Henry took no time, engulfing her in a strong bear hug.
"How did you find me?"
"I followed your scent."
"What?" She asked in a puzzled tone, not understanding him.
Henry bit his inner cheek, internally scolding himself for saying that. He was supposed to be a normal human, yet here he was, already acting like an animal for her on the inside. Pun intended.
"I mean, I saw you from a distance. Wearing your, pretty white short Yukata, that I feel like tearing off." He playfully growled by her ear, making her chuckle in heat.
She slapped his arm playfully, then self consciously looked around. There were many couples about, however they were not behaving as intimately or romantic enough like them. Looks like PDA wasn't very popular where they were at, and neither was Haru in general. She was extremely shy when it came to PDA especially out in the public.
So when he went to kiss her on her lips, she gave him her cheek instead.
"Please behave, we're out in public." She said as some people gazed their way in short giggles, a few gave them uncomfortable looks, and some older senior citizens rolled their eyes at them.
Those wonderful sparks came back to her, and although she liked them, she sighed shaking her head at him.
"Sweetheart, are you shy?"
She shamelessly hid her face in his chest and nodded. Henry chuckled amused, and kissed her head then gently placed her down.
He made a mental note to take her somewhere private where she wouldn't be so shy.
Plus she was right, it wasn't the first time he was in Japan. He'd been visiting this beautiful country for the past century.
Henry valued and respected the culture and the do's and don'ts in society.
Haru then smiled and took notice if what he was wearing. She raked her eyes upon him slowly, with that crazy lust spell coming over her for him. She then locked eyes on firm broad chest then went further down, taking him like a beautiful dark cloud, that graced her with his charming beauty. Henry smirked, sensing her mild happy and lusty pheromones in the air for him.
"See something you like?"
Haru nodded in approval then linked her arm under his.
"You look good in your dark blue kimono."
She said linking her hands with his, whilst controlling her fluttering butterflies.
Many people around them were immdiately in awe of his rich striking beauty.
But the only beauty he saw tonight, was her.
"Thanks, I got a good price, down town."
Henry and Haru soon took some cute selfies together and walked hand in hand, enjoying their precious time and company together.
Anyone could tell they they were in love with each other with the way they gazed warmly at one another.
It almost felt like they had found their missing pieces of their soul.
"Oh how did your meeting go?"
Haru asked after a few moments.
"What meeting?"
She shot him a puzzled look. Had he forgotten already?
"The one you said you went for?"
"Oh! Right, yes that meeting." Henry strangely laughed nervously scratching the back of his head briefly before he answered.
Well it went well. We'll be getting new sponsors for our security teams in town." Henry lied, for there was no meeting. The only meeting he wanted was to have with her.
They saw a couple of kids running and giggling and soon entered a market area filled with food stalls.
"Hungry?"
"Starving."
Haru admitted. She'd been caught up trying to buy a Yukata for meeting him that she completely ignored to have her lunch.
Soon Henry and Haru ate a hot meal and talked some more.
"So, how are your parents doing?"
Haru shortly pulled out her phone and showed him a picture of her parents.
Henry smiled.
⟪A⟫ Weird, they look nothing like her?
"They seem nice?"
"Thanks. They're actually my adoptive parents."
⟪H⟫ Oh?
⟪A⟫ My girl is an orphan?! Why am I so sad.
"What happened to your birth parents?" Henry asked placing a sweet kiss at the back of her hand, urging her to continue.
For some odd reason, Haru felt extremely calm and open talking to him about almost everything.
Apart from her secret.
"I was orphaned at the age of 4, I was left outside a police station. I mean that's what the Nun told me. Anyways, I hardly remember my birth parents. Makino and Hiroki adopted me a couple months after and have been my guardian angels ever since."
Henry placed his hand over hers, listening to her, deeply.
"Why did you come and see your parents all the way out here? Your accent is perfectly American?" He asked with a puzzled tone.
Haru smiled.
"I grew up in Chicago, we had a launderette business. It was ruining successfully, untill some of our old machines starting acting up. My father then got into debt problems with this guy, who isn't worth mentioning because, well he's a total d!ck for seperating them from me."
"Wait, what?!" Henry said in astoundingly confused with utter disbelief, plaguing his face.
⟪A⟫ Who would do something cruel like that?
"What do you mean he separated you from your family Haru?"
His girlfriend sighed, averting her gaze down, and shuffling uncomfortably on her feet.
"Haru, please tell me?" Henry asked gently tilting her troubled face up to meet his his forrest green eyes.
"He's a real bad guy Henry. He's a debt collector."
"What's his name?"
⟪A⟫ So I can kill him myself?
"I can't tell you."
⟪A⟫ Oh c'mon!
"Haru."
"Please, Henry. He's just a bad guy. Look three years ago were the most difficult years of my life. This bad debt collector. Let's call him Mr X, he came over to our house one late afternoon with his six men. I came home from school. I was 16 at that time. A total carefree girl. I walked in on seeing my parents on the floor, with a gun to their heads."
Henry fell dead silent for a short while.
"Haru, did you go to the cops?"
Her girlfriend shook her head.
"No, Mr X he took me away because my parents couldn't pay the debt they owed him. He turned me into his slave at his club, and made me his stripper."
⟪A⟫***Angrily Growls***
⟪H⟫ Keep calm Achilles. We'll find out who this fucker is, eventually.
⟪A⟫Yeah, and I bet I know who can give us the answers.
Haru's eyes watered, and she walked away trying to compose herself.
Henry then, slowly came behind her and engulfed her warmly in a back hug.
Haru allowed him to comfort her and didn't push him away. He kissed her head sweetly before he broke the silence between them once more.
"Mr X, he didn't hurt you did he?"
"No, but he had his eyes on me the wrong way whenever I danced on the pole. He'd watch me as if he was already, stripping me off my clothes. I escaped from him once and he caught me, lightly tortured me, locked my up in his cold basement without food or water and left me to starve for days. He'd broken me so bad, Henry. That I even get nightmares about him sometimes."
She softly broke in a little sob, as his arms tightened gently around her.
⟪A⟫ Now, I really want to kill this fucker that messed with her!
⟪H⟫ Mr X. Better pray that I don't find him.
"So, when I finally had something on him, I used that to threaten him. Mom and Dad soon fled back to Tokyo without him knowing and that's why when they knew I had escaped successfully from Mr X this time, they called me over."
Haru was crying, as she held on to his big arms for comfort. Henry held her and kissed her head preciously steadily cradling her in his hold.
"Shhh, it's ok sweetheart. I'm here now, I won't let anyone get to you, I promise."
Haru turned around in his hold and hugged him, strongly. Henry hugged her back, stroking her head in a comforting manner.
She soon ceased her hard sobs and pulled away. They went back having a stroll hand in hand.
"I take it you're parents were happy to see you?" Henry said on a lighter tone, making her softly chuckle and smile, whilst he wiped her rogue tear away.
"Well, they were happy to see me. Last week we went shopping and did family karaoke night at a bar. My father [sighs] than got drunk and went to beat up a bartender then we came back home. Mom scolded him then he went out again and I'm so sorry Henry, you shouldn't have to hear all family drama of mine."
She stressed.
"Hey, It's alright. I'd like to meet them soon, if it's ok with you?"
"Oh?"
"What? Is there something wrong with me?"
"No! No, you're perfect. It's just...Well, my parents aren't fond of me dating anyone right now."
"Wait, you did tell them about me right?"
"Yeah! Of course I did."
"So?"
"Well, my mother is alright dating you but my father, isn't taking it well."
"Oh? Why not?"
"He wants me to move back out here in Japan with them."
⟪A⟫ Hey, I'm prepared to move anywhere in the world for her.
⟪H⟫ Whose going to take care of the pack?
⟪A⟫ Crap! Well this sucks, long distant relationship is going to be a torture for us, unless we kidnap her?
⟪A⟫ We are not doing that!
⟪H⟫ Fine! We're shifting the whole pack to Tokyo! Hey we're the Alpha, everyone knows the pack follows the Alpha. It's like the golden rule in the packhouse.
⟪H ⟫Or we could just hand over the pack to someone else of a Alpha ranking calibre? I know Diego wants to be the next Alpha leader?
⟪A⟫ But the pack doesn't respect him, like they do us.
⟪H⟫ Fine, worst comes to worst, we'll kidnap her.
⟪A⟫ Yes!
"So, what are you thinking? Will you move back?"
Haru scoffed.
"No way! Are you kidding? I love my job, and I love our little town I'm making a fresh start in and I obviously like you. There's no way I'm moving, back here."
⟪A⟫ Oh thank Moon for that!
⟪H⟫The mate bond is still strong.
Henry then pulled her in for a sweet kiss, and Haru blushed, kissing him back.
The sweet kiss then soon turned into a passionate one.
"Hmmm, Henry, wait. N-not here."
Haru said, worriedly looking around as a few couples, and very angry old people stared there way.
He sighed then took her by the hand, leading her somewhere else.
"Henry, where are we going?"
"Somewhere, a little more private, where they won't hear us."
Haru's heart pounded in excitement and worry all at once.
Just exactly where was he taking her?

🦩 Oh where is he taking her?
