Lahat ng Kabanata ng One Night with a Lycan: A Big Girl’s Transformation: Kabanata 101 - Kabanata 110

YENA Seeing Adan was strange, like déjà vu or a dream that feels too familiar. And it was suspicious, how he was always running into me, supposedly on accident. After he left the bakery, I got a creepy feeling, like I was being watched. But there was literally no one around. Just the one, tired employee sitting in the back room, resting her head on one hand, and using the other to highlight in a big textbook she was reading. No one out in the parking lot. Hardly even any cars parked along the main street, and they were all far away. I shook off the feeling as paranoia. It was just that I was feeling so calm and peaceful, and Adan really startled me, showing up out of nowhere.As if the universe couldn’t let me have one moment of escape, without reminding me of what drama my life has become. Seeing him reminded me of Lucy, for some reason. So I called her when I got back to Tina’s house. “Yo

             Tina insisted I spend the next day with her.            “Today is a day for baking pies,” she said, pointing to the window. It was lightly storming outside, with steady rain and dark clouds.            I let her get it started, enjoying several cups of coffee in the morning while she made the dough. I was never any good at that part, anyway.            “Are you afraid to get your hands dirty now, my daughter?”            “Very funny,” I replied. “To be honest, I never really liked getting my hands dirty, even before.”          

ADAN             The line rang several times before Yena picked it up. She was waiting till the very last moment, deciding if she wanted to talk to Adan.            Then: “Hello?”            “Hi Yena,” he said, grinning with genuine pleasure at the sound of her voice. “How are you doing?”            “I’m okay,” she answered. “Is this about the meeting with the teacher? Did you set it up?”            “Uh, no. Not exactly.”Adan paused for dramatic effect.            “So th

Lily said to me, “Don’t you dare let him talk about the prince like that!”But I was feeling so angry.The words Evan was saying probably should have offended me. At other times, I would’ve been protective of anyone speaking ill of Nolan, ever.But Evan squeezed my hand, and all I felt from him was love.“Thank you,” I told him. “But that won’t be necessary. I love you for offering, though.”Lily didn’t appreciate the joke.“Nolan is your mate,” she growled at me. “How can you let this wolf say such a horrible thing about him?”But Lily didn’t always get to be the boss of me. I told her to be quiet.“I love you too, Yena,” Evan replied. “I’d do anything for you, you know.”“I do know. Thanks.”Evan slipped his hand out of mine and stood up.“So, what do you say we do something fun today?” he asked. “Something different, that’ll take your mind off this bullshit?”“That’s sweet,” I answered. “But like what?”“I dunno.” Evan started stretching his arms, swinging them around as he walked

 We raced back to the house and, of course, Evan beat me yet again. Then we paused outside on the porch to cool down.Now that I knew Evan had these dirty thoughts about me…I couldn’t help that I was enjoying using it against him and watching him squirm.I knew it was bad that I was enjoying it so much. But it was kind of Evan’s own fault.Maybe I was making up for all the times he teased me when we were kids. He always got away with it and got the better of me.Now I had something on him. And he made it so easy…We’d left water bottles on the porch. They were cold to the touch, telling me it was still freezing out, despite how warm I was feeling inside after the exercise.Evan took a gulp of water, then threw some on his face. He took his other hand and wiped some of the water off, then combed his hair back with his wet fingers.I’d seen him do that a million times before. On
