Chapter 36
"Yeah, what the hell is going on Scott?" Lisa asked.
"Let's get into the tent," said Scott.
Then they entered the tent. That night the wind blew quite hard sending cold air. Scott and Lisa sat
across from each other on the edge of the tent.
"Ok, we're already in the tent, then what do you want to talk about?" Lisa asked.
"Close your eyes and don't open them until I tell you to," Scott pleaded.
"Okay." Lisa closed her eyes tightly as one hand brushed her long hair back. She was very curious
what her lover would do and for what reason, he asked her to close her eyes.
Then, Scott reached for his bag and took out the jewelry box containing the diamond ring he had
bought. He untied the gold wrapping rope and opened the box and faced it in front of Lisa. His heart
was beating very fast, he only hoped that the girl would accept his proposal.
"Now open your eyes," Scott pleaded.
Lisa opened her eyes slowly and she saw a diamond ring in front of her. She was surprised. To confirm
her curiosity, she asked, "Scott, who is this ring for?"
“Lisa, I believe that we are fated to meet. At first, I was hesitant to be in a relationship with you, but as
time went on, I became more and more convinced that you were my mate and we were meant to be
together. Every day I fall in love with you, it feels different when I'm near you. After all the problems that
plagued me, now I just want to spend my time and my life with you. With a sincere request from the
bottom of my heart, will you marry me? To be my only wife and share the ups and downs,” Scott asked.
Lisa couldn't hold back her tears anymore, she cried while wiping her eyes, then she looked at Scott's
beautiful blue eyes and replied, “I also fall in love with you every day. You are the man and the first love
of my life. I just want to be with you forever."
Scott smiled happily, but his important question had yet to be answered. Then, he asked again, "Then,
what is your answer to my question?"
"Should I answer now?" Lisa smiled mischievously as she hugged Scott tightly and looked at his
handsome face.
“Yes, that is the point of the question. I'm waiting for your answer. My heart was beating fast," Scott
said.
"Hahaha umm yes I will," answered Lisa.
“But—” the girl replied a second time.
"But what?" asked Scott.
"I have to go back to New York in three months, then when are we getting married?" Lisa asked as she
touched and kissed Scott's jaw and bit his lower lip.
“Before you returned to New York. I will prepare everything.”
"Are we going to live far apart after that? I don't think I want to go back to New York," she said, hugging
Scott tightly.
Deep down, Scott didn't want to stay away from Lisa either. He wanted to be by her side and take care
of her always. However, he still had to think about Lisa's future. Only three years and during which he
was able to visit New York.
"I have an idea," Scott said.
"What idea?" Lisa asked curiously.
“I'm going to buy an apartment for the two of us in Manhattan, I think three bedrooms is enough. You
can live with Sean, let him stay with you, and let your father live alone with Gwen. What do you think?"
Scott asked, touching the tip of Lisa's nose and kissing her.
"Okay, you're right. But it will definitely feel lonely without you. Then, what should I do?" he asked
spoiled.
“You can visit here or I can visit there. Nothing to worry about. We can also do video calls,” Scott
replied as he hugged Lisa back and kissed the top of her head a few times.
"Then what else did you want to talk to me about?" Lisa asked.
“Lisa, I have to confess something. Actually, I am—” Scott suddenly hesitated to reveal who he is, he
was afraid that the girl would leave him after finding out about his true identity. A very difficult choice for
him.
“What are you? Why stop talking?” asked Lisa, starting to feel that Scott was hiding something.
"Promise me that you won't leave me?" asked Scott. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"Scott, what's wrong? Yes, I promise," she replied.
“Actually I am a werewolf. I am the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack. Same pack as Dorothy. My father
was the former alpha, after he died, I was the one who replaced him leading our pack. I'm sorry, Lisa.
You are my mate and we are meant to be together," Scott replied as he took Lisa's hand.
Lisa was very surprised and she immediately looked at her lover's face with a look of disbelief. What's
with today? Why did the people closest to her suddenly give such a shocking confession? Are they all
werewolves? Then, am I the only human? Lisa thought.
"Lisa, please. It's not what you think. We have been living side by side with humans for a long time. I
won't hurt you or anyone. I think Dorothy has also explained her identity to you," said Scott who was
trying to approach Lisa.
However, Lisa moved backward, she felt everything was like a dream and not real. She couldn't accept
that she fall in love with a werewolf. Then, what will their world be like? Lisa thought.
“Lisa, if you have anything to ask or you have any doubts in your heart, please allow me to explain it to
you. I love you, Lisa," Scott said.
Lisa was silent, sitting rooted to her spot. She found things very confusing. What kind of world is she in
right now? Something she had never heard or seen, now she heard and saw it with her own eyes.
"Lisa," Scott called for the umpteenth time.
"I'm confused. This is all very confusing. My grandmother said if she was a werewolf, now you say you
are a werewolf. And I'm very confused," she replied.
Scott came closer to her, held her hands, and looked her in the eyes, “Lisa, I know if this is confusing to
you, but trust me we are just like you humans. Please don't be afraid of me or stay away from me,"
Scott pleaded.
"Then, are Tom, Katie, and Jessy also werewolves?" Lisa asked.
“Jessy is not a werewolf. However, the others are werewolves.”
"Do all the citizens of Stowe know and realize that you are werewolves?"
“Yes, we have lived side by side for thousands of years. And the forbidden forest where we fell is the
forest we used as a battle arena," Scott replied.
"Could it be that you are the brown-haired wolf who came to save us that time?" Lisa asked curiously.
“Actually yes, but it happened by accident. And I fell with you to the bottom of the abyss. After realizing
it, I immediately took you to the empty house until we were rescued.”
"So, did you know then that I was your mate, your Luna?" Lisa asked trying to investigate.
“I know that you are my mate, my luna and you can pair up with any alpha without being limited to just
one alpha.”
“That's exactly what my grandmother said. Then, the wolf who often comes in my dreams, is that you?”
Lisa asked.
"Yes, because we are destined to be a couple, our minds can communicate indirectly until you accept
me as your mate, so we can communicate directly through our minds," Scott replied.
Lisa was silent and she started to cry. Then, Scott approached, pulled herself into his arms, and said,
"Why are you crying?"
“Everything still feels weird to me. But, honestly, I love you and even though this all sounds strange and
surprising, I don't want to be separated from you, "said Lisa.
"Me too, Lisa. Don't worry, we'll be together forever. I am yours and you are mine."
Scott began to feel calm, at least Lisa could understand and accept his explanation. Now, all the
obstacles and burdens in the heart feel gone. They hugged each other tightly in front of the bonfire
while occasionally looking up at the night sky that was studded with many stars.
That night, the sky was quite clear and was lit only by the light of the stars, while the moon only
appeared halfway. Suddenly, Lisa remembered something.
"Scott, I have something to make sure," said Lisa.
"What is it?" Scott asked.
“If the moon was completely round, would you turn into a werewolf? Will all of you shapeshift at the full
moon?”
