Chapter 202: Stay Here

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In a way, this only increased the time Michael and I spent in bed together. We were up late last night, which resulted in oversleeping together the following day.

I nudged Michael to answer the phone. What was unfair to both boys and girls was that even though Michael was more physically active last night, he was always more energetic than I was the next day.

For example, I couldn’t open my eyes, and my entire lower body was aching.

“Hello?” Michael said coldly. He was upset about being woken up in the morning.

I looked at him with half-opened eyes, hoping he would hang up the phone as soon as possible and come back to sleep.

But I saw that Michael’s handsome eyebrows were furrowed, and his sleepy eyes suddenly became clear. He lifted the quilt and sat up with a serious look.

I looked at him in confusion. He noticed my expression and pulled the blanket over me again.

A warm feeling welled up in my heart. I leaned up slightly and looked at Michael sideways.

“Okay, I got it. I’ll be there in a while.” I heard Michael say and hung up the phone. I watched him get out of bed and quickly put on his clothes. He looked like he was ready to leave immediately.

“What happened?” I asked.

I picked up my phone. It was only six in the morning. The sky outside the window hadn’t fully lit up yet.

“A new pack was attacked. Their security is in place. They caught one of the criminals. I’m going to take a look,” Michael explained.

My mind cleared up quickly. I sat up from the bed and prepared to change with Michael. “I’ll go with you.”

Michael shook his head at me. “No, you stay here today.”

I looked at Michael with disappointment in my eyes.

Michael had rarely taken me out with him since the attacks had become more frequent.

He would only let me follow him when he was sure there was no danger. I wasn’t happy about this, but Michael insisted it was for my safety, so I had to compromise.

“This is the first time we’ve caught the culprit. I want to go with you,” I argued.

“Don’t be willful, Cecily.” Michael had already put on his clothes. He walked over to me and touched my face with his palm. His touch made me feel very comfortable, but it wasn’t enough to convince me to stay.

“It will be very chaotic today. They caught a murderer, but I can’t guarantee that anyone else will save him. I need to focus all my energy on this,” Michael said.

“I won’t disturb your work,” I assured Michael.

Michael sighed softly, then said, “But I’ll worry about your safety. You’re a beautiful she-wolf. What if the murderer comes back and treats you as prey? You’ll go with me, and I won’t be able to concentrate on interrogating the prisoner. Promise me you’ll stay here, and I’ll be back as soon as possible, okay?”

I saw a familiar protectiveness in Michael’s eyes. He always saw me as a personal possession he needed to take care of. But I also knew that he cared for me in his way. This was Michael’s unique way of expressing tenderness.

I had to nod and agree again to the decision to stay put.

“If anything happens, can you contact me on your phone? We’ll catch the murderer.” I took Michael’s hand and lightly planted a kiss on it.

Michael’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He looked like he wanted to kiss me.

But his phone rang again. The person on the phone was urging him to hurry over. Michael gave me a reluctant look, then hurriedly turned around and left.

I lay on my back, feeling an unforgettable sense of frustration. I felt I wasn’t good enough for Michael to take me with him. I couldn’t help but wonder if I had Joanna’s skills, I could help Michael anytime, anywhere. Would Michael not always leave me where I was?

I hated myself for making that comparison, but I couldn’t help it.

Since we left the Clear Creek Pack last time, we hadn’t heard from the she-wolf. The she-wolf seemed to have given up.

But today’s phone call indicated a new attack, and we’d ensured all the packs in the area were ready, especially at night.

Catching the murderer proved that our security was effective, and I hoped we could get a lead on this guy and catch the culprit. But I also knew that it was not easy to make that person talk.

Michael had experience with this. In many cases, he could simply release the aura of his beast to subdue the other party because his energy was purer, and werewolves were instinctively afraid of the strong.
