"Are you a wolf too?"
That was the question Penelope had asked earlier today as curiosity piqued her interest while staring at the man in front of her.
"Uh-yeah" he replied unsure of why she asked
"Can I see?"
Although Dorian had told her everyone at the estate except a few were just like him,she was still curious.
This whole lycan thing was yet to still settle well in her mind.
.
.
At first,Felix was perplexed at her request cause he wasn't expecting her to ask that. If it were to be someone else asking him to shift,he would disregard them immediately as lycans didn't have the trait of letting others order them to shift at will,well except for their Alpha, although since she was their Luna,she held close authority.
"Sure" he replied and began to walk away Making Penelope frown confused but she said nothing,just watched him walk to a corner and well over few seconds when she was starting to think otherwise to check if or not he was still there,a blonde wolf emerged and instantly,a small gasp left her lip. She couldn't believe her eyes,was this him?
She watched the wolf approach her,Even though it's size was a bit smaller compared to the Dorian's ,it still looked big.
"Woah" the word left her lip unconciously as she approached the wolf.
At first,it backed away when she came closer but then remained and allowed her to near.
"Can I..pat?"
She asked knowing this was infact a man.
No reaction came from it for a while until it gave a small shake of it's head which Penelope settled as a nod.
Just like Dorian's,its fur was as soft and fluffy,it would be a crime not to say this creature in front of her was cute, although she took back that word 'cute' when she saw its canines,how was it possible that something that could reap your head to half in one go had the ability to look so adorable.
.
.
Although Felix tried keeping his composure,he had stupidly let his inner wolf take control after feeling the smooth brush of her fingers in his fur,his Wolf's tail had already began wagging without his knowledge.
He couldn't remember the last time he was patted.
He was still enjoying the brush of her fingers through his fur but nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard the voice of one of their pack warriors.
"Where is Alpha?"
Felix composed himself, reprimanding his wolf before facing Leonard,the third in command after Azrael and him.
[He's gone somewhere]
He mind linked since he was in his wolf form and absolutely couldn't shift before their Luna.
[And Azrael?]
The blonde wolf looked at leo as though frowning.
[If it's important,then you could tell me]
He said slightly offended cause he was the Gamma and any matter which could be discussed with the alpha or beta,then what made him an exception, but as though to offend him even more,Leo said nothing relatively like Felix was someone of unimportance, passing a brief look at the woman standing beside the blonde wolf,he walked away.
Penelope heard a rough snort from the wolf beside her as though it was annoyed or perhaps irritated.
Later that day,she got the chance to meet Betty once again,the lady she met yesterday and just like last time,she prepared a bounty and made her eat every plate, although Felix helped out as well in clearing the dishes prepared.
"I made them for Penelope,not for a fat pig"
Betty said hitting lightly against his head almost causing the man to spill what was already in his mouth.
"Fat?"
Felix spoke,his voice muffled indicating he still had a well amount of food in his mouth.
"Mind you I say I'm in perfect shape"
He said defending his statement with a broad out of his chest.
"Yeah sure,wait until Lisa starts finding the 'shape' in other male shifters"
Penelope watched as a look of panic crossed his eyes at her last statement and it seemed to have gotten to him cause he immediately stopped eating.
Betty was oddly very nice,polite and treated her just as a mother would and one thing she noticed was her love for cooking,she had even offered to teach Penelope few dishes she was unaware ever existed.
Although her age was far from youthful,Betty was quite a fun person to be around.
"What are you doing currently dear?"
Betty asked,they were presently in the kitchen cause Penelope had insisted on cleaning the dishes, albeit Betty had told her to leave it,she insisted.
For a huge house as such, Penelope barely noticed any one who she'd refer as a worker,the house was oddly quiet.
Was this a spec rich people had?.
"Well I'm uh,_still studying, though I have other activities I use my time for"
She replied and realized Betty seemed more interested in hearing more about her than she thought.
They even ended up bonding quite quickly than she would have thought.
"Oh that foolish wolf, I'll be sure to draw his ears off once he's back"
Betty raved once she told her of how she met Dorian and how he had basically 'kidnapped' her at their first meet.
Penelope Chuckled a little at her comment,at this point,she was tempted to ask what her relationship with Dorian was but held back,from the way she spoke about him, telling her of few things she wouldn't have thought about Dorian, Penelope settled that they were close so decided not to ask further.
.
.
.
"Am i fat?"
Felix who wouldn't stop following her everywhere she went asked.
She Would ask him every once in a while why he did so and he would simply reply that Dorian asked him to do so and this she didn't understand,it wasn't like she was a child who needed to be followed everywhere, though this was not what bothered her,what annoyed her about him was,the man's mouth was like a parrot,it was as though he couldn't stop talking.
He had seconds ago stopped talking for a while until now,with a weird question.
"Am i?"
He asked as she didn't answer the first time.
"Well you're not thin are you?"
She replied and could see a look of disbelief cross his eyes.
"Are you saying I'm fat?"
He asked,his voice sounding like he was scared of her reply.
"I didn't say you were fat but..."
"Oh great heavens!"
He exclaimed not letting her finish her statement.
Quickly,he got up from the sofa he was sitting on and dashed towards the mirror, looking at himself and then at his face.
"I wonder__am I still handsome?"
He asked accessing his face with scrutiny from the mirror and Penelope didn't know whether to frown or raise a brow but then she heard him sigh heavily as though relieved.
"Still handsome"
He said with a sharp smile clicking his tongue at himself.
He turned around and noticed the way Penelope was staring at him and his smile widened.
"Oh dear,am afraid *this*"
He said pointing to himself
"Is all taken"
He brushed his hand through his hair.
"You can look if you want, but not too much,so you won't scar your eyes over my handsomeness"
He spoke so confidently making Penelope wonder if he was talking about himself or someone else cause definitely he couldn't be referring to himself as handsome,he was more in the category of soft cute,not handsome.
"Oh please,my brother scores way higher than that baby face"
She commented and could see a small scowl on his face,he looked offended at her Choice of words.
"Did you just.."
"Yes" she cut him off knowing what he was going to say.
His body fidgeted for a brief moment
"Well jokes on you cause this *baby face* is wanted by many"
He bragged knowing of the status he held Working as a hand man of Dorian skendore, many women dreamt of standing even close to him.
"Many 'men' you mean"
She rolled her eyes mocking the odd faminine resemblance he had with his soft features.
Without his sharp jaw line,one could mistake him to a woman at quick glance
"If you were any fatter,am sure you'd have boobs by now"
She mocked even more.
.
.
.
.
"Take it back!,take it back!"
Felix raved while threatening to throw her out the window, holding her over his shoulder like a weightless bag.
"Take it back!"
He ordered once more,her last statement had seemed to have gotten him irked or more disgusted than any other word.
Not only did she say he could be gay with his striking faminine resemblance,but also insulted him to be FAT.
Now that was crossing the line.
"No"
"I promise I'll throw you out"
"You wouldn't dare"
Penelope argued confidently looking at the distance from the floor they were.
"Take those words back!"
He jolted her as though trying to frightened her into believing he would really throw her down
"Not in my life time fatty__ahh"
She yelled but then ended up laughing when he withdrew back,just as she suspected,he was just bluffing.
"I said,take it...."
