“I told you last night…”
“Is this the disease you we’re talking about?”
“No,.. I’m sorry I lied to you..”
“Lied to me? I- I’m sorry. It must be me, maybe I’m just seeing things. Tell me I’m seeing things Daniel.”
“You’re not seeing things. Its my fault. They can’t know that you are already aware of my condition again. No, they’ll take you away.”
again… has this happened before?
“What do you mean again?”
“I’m sorry, I have to go.”
I fall silent. I don’t know what to say. This can’t be true. I feel anger rushing through my heart. I feel my eyes stinging as tears began to flow.
“GET OUT.”
“Rowena, I’m sorry. This is what I’ve been telling you last night! This is why we can’t be together!”
“I said, GET OUT OF MY APARTMENT!”
“I’ll always protect you, remember that!” Daniel says, as he picks up his clothes. He looks at me one last time and transforms into a fly and flies past my window.
All those insects in my window. That was him.

“Congratulations Rowena! Daniel! You’ve done very well, the investors liked your work very much! They even doubled their investments, this is good news! We have to celebrate!” Mrs. Chang exclaimed. She’s practically dancing to herself now. We are at the meeting room a few weeks after Daniel transformed into a fly and flew past my window.
Mrs. Cheng was so happy because our project sold well, she did not even notice the awkwardness between us.
I spent the entire day concentrating on working on the new project assigned to me, and listening to Riley talk about this guy he met at the bar.
After work, I decide to walk home alone.
“Do you want to get coffee or dinner?” I hear Daniel’s voice behind me.
I don’t say anything. I don’t get him at all. I don’t get our relationship. We are worst than a roller coaster ride.
“Rowena, you can’t keep ignoring me forever.”
“And you can’t keep following me forever” I snap back at him.
“Im sorry. okay? But you know why I’m doing this. You know why we can’t- why we can’t be together!” Daniel yelled suddenly, unable to conceal his feelings anymore.
“Don’t think I don’t know that Daniel! I’ve been telling myself that for the past few weeks and still I can’t get you out of my mind! You say, you don’t want to be with me but here you are following me and asking me for dinner? or coffee? I don’t get it!”
“I just want to protect you Rowena!”
“Protect me from what?!”
Daniel falls silent and I take the opportunity to walk away. I can’t take it anymore.
I walk faster enough and I pray to God for him to stop following me. I finally reach my apartment. The moment I close the door, I cry my heart out.
Its so unfair. Why can’t I get the one I want? Why?
That’s when I hear someone, by the window.
“Stop right there.” I say, getting my bat, ready to strike at Daniel.
But instead, its not Daniel that I see. Its another man.
“Hello Rowena. Long time no see.” He says, his voice sending shivers through my spine
“Who are you? What do you want from me?” I say, holding my bat tighter.
“Just an old friend. You probably don’t remember me anymore.” He says.
I realize, he does look familiar. I do know him. He was a bulky man, with white sleeveless shirt. He was handsome, but the evil look in him would make any person cower.
“What are you doing here?”
“Stop right there Harold!” I hear a voice behind me, its Daniel.
“What a pleasant surprise Daniel!”
“Who sent you here?” He asks.
The guy laughed. “Do you really have to ask that? I know you know the answer to that question Daniel. It was stupid of you to come here again Daniel. You know it won’t be long that we’ll find out about this.”
“Sierro.” Daniel said.
Sierro.
Who is he? I feel like an idiot, watching them both circling around each other.
And when I blink my eye, I see a wolf where the man stood. “You’ll be a nice snack.” he says as he launches at me.
We hit the wall hard. I feel my head throb with pain. The last thing I see is Daniel transforming into a wolf himself. I know because he’s color is different from Harold. And then I see no more.
***
I dream of my husband.
I dream of the first time I saw him.
I was in the local cafe, writing for my book when I saw him with what seemed to be his best friend. I stared at him for a long time then, he was so handsome and perfect. I order another frap just to get more time, so I could stare at him more. I notice that wherever he and his best friend goes, they never fail to grab everybody’s attention. They are the definition of swag. Right now, both of them seem to be staring at the group of girls a few tables far from them. I realize then, who am I to want him? Look at me, I’m not even fit for the pants I’m wearing, how can I say I’m fit for him then?
Days pass, I notice that he and his best friend kept coming there more often, so I come there, just as much. Not a month later, I make friends with him. I find out that his name is Daniel and that his best friend is named Harold. We became friends and talked about all our dreams. I told him I wanted to be a writer. He’d told me he wanted to be nothing else but happy.
We had so many shared interests, music, books, you name it all. But Daniel had had a girlfriend then, her name was Elaine. She was tall and slim and perfect. She was fit for him and she was so in love with him, I could tell. Who wouldn’t be in love with him? She was also just as nice, and we became friends too. Not for long, the two of them broke up. I didn’t know why, but whatever reason it was, I never saw Elaine again.
A few months later, we finally became more than friends. It was the best days of my life. At first, Harold was nice enough to hang out with us. But sooner he’s coming with Daniel became less frequent. And then, before he had asked me to marry him, he showed me his true nature. I was afraid at first, but I love him so much that I’m willing to take the risk just to be with him. And then we got married. No one of our friends and family came to our wedding. I have no family, I’m an orphan, and I didn’t make any lasting friendships. Daniel’s family didn’t approve of me, because I was human. They see me as a threat.
The first few months of our marriage we’re a bliss. We rented an apartment in Manhattan, new york. I continued my writing, while he did illustrating. At last our dreams came true.
I was writing, and he was happy.
But one night, after all the caution that we’ve done, Harold found us. He attacked Daniel. He paid a warlock to wipe away my memory of him.
When I wake up, I’m at the hospital.
The temperature is much warmer than I’m used to. I am sweating.
Where’s Daniel?
It was the first thing I thought of. I remember everything now. I want to tell him that, about our past, about our first few months as married couple. I remember that now. I’ve accepted him for who he is, but he’s clan, the Wolf and Shape shifter folks, they don’t trust me because I’m not like them. And that’s why they made me forget him. Those dreams I had, they weren’t dreams. They were memories.
I see Daniel as he enters my room, he’s carrying food. He runs to me immediately when he sees that I’m awake.
“Rowena, you’re awake now!”
“Daniel! honey, I remember everything now.
Everything about us.”
“I’m so happy. For a moment I thought I’ve lost you forever.”
“Daniel, what happened to you after they wiped my memory?”
His expression became grim. “They tried to wipe mine as well, they tried to marry me off with Elaine. But I remembered you not long after. I managed to escape before our marriage.”
“What happened to Harold? Where are we?”
“Don’t worry now Rowena. We’re far away, they won’t catch us here yet. I defeated Harold, he got away just in time before I could kill him.”
I remember now, Sierro and the pack, they’ve been hunting us down because they disapprove of our marriage.
“What about Mrs. Tsu? Did she notice the mess we’ve made in the apartment.”
“Don’t worry about that. I’ve managed to pay the local warlock and he cleaned the place for us. Your bills are already paid.”
“Thank you. but… Where are we? Its warm in here. Are we in a different country?”
“Shhh, rest for now, Rowena. I will answer your questions when you are healed.”
“But--”
“Don’t worry, we are safe for now, my love.” Daniel says.
