Apologies for the misunderstanding. Let me provide a revised response:
As Jessy asked Bram about his occupation, Bram hesitated, not wanting to risk their connection by revealing his true nature as a wolf. Instead, he decided to tell a different story. "Um, ah... I work for my dad's company," he replied, his voice slightly uncertain.
Jessy looked at him curiously, her brows furrowing slightly. "Then why are you here? Don't you have work?" she asked, genuine curiosity in her voice.
Bram took a deep breath, trying to come up with a plausible explanation. "I actually took a leave from all the stress," he responded, hoping that his answer would satisfy her.
Jessy nodded, understanding his need for a break. "That's understandable. We all need some time off sometimes," she said, her voice filled with empathy. "I'm glad you're here with me."
Bram felt a mixture of relief and guilt for not being completely honest with Jessy. He cherished their connection and didn't want to jeopardize it by revealing his true identity. As they continued their walk, he made a silent promise to himself to protect their bond and cherish the moments they shared, even if it meant keeping his secret for now.
As the sun began to set, Jessy mustered up the courage to ask Bram if he would stay for the night so they could talk and spend more time together as friends. However, Bram hesitated, realizing that staying would risk revealing his true nature as a wolf and potentially complicating their relationship.
With a heavy heart, Bram gently declined Jessy's invitation. "Jessy, I appreciate your offer, but I think it's best if I don't stay tonight," he said, his voice filled with a mix of regret and sadness. "There are some things I need to take care of."
Jessy looked disappointed, her eyes reflecting a hint of longing. "Are you sure?" she asked, her voice tinged with a touch of sadness.
For several weeks, Bram and Jessy developed a routine. They would say goodbye in the evening and greet each other in the morning. They cherished these moments and eagerly looked forward to seeing each other again.
Every near evening, as the sun went down, Bram would find Jessy and they would say a heartfelt goodbye. They expressed their longing to see each other and talked about their anticipation for the next time they would meet.
In the mornings, as the sun rose, Bram and Jessy would greet each other warmly. They enjoyed their conversations, filled with laughter and stories, and felt comforted by their growing friendship.
This routine brought them joy and a sense of comfort. Bram appreciated the time they spent together, even if it was brief, and he admired Jessy's understanding of his boundaries.
Bram found a solution to avoid Jessy wondering why he always wore the same shirt. Every midnight, he would discreetly visit nearby houses and find clothes hanging outside to wash up and change into. This way, he could maintain a fresh appearance without arousing suspicion. It was his way of ensuring that Jessy wouldn't question the repetition of the shirt she had given him.
As the day drew to a close, Bram knew it was time to say goodbye to Jessy once again. The presence of the mysterious wolf had left him feeling unsettled and distracted, making it difficult for him to fully enjoy their time together.
With a heavy heart, Bram turned to Jessy, his gaze filled with a mix of regret and concern. "Jessy, I need to go," he said, his voice tinged with sadness. "There's something I need to take care of."
Jessy looked at him, her eyes reflecting a mixture of understanding and worry. "Is everything alright, Bram?" she asked, her voice filled with genuine concern.
Bram nodded, trying to reassure her. "I'll be fine," he replied, his voice filled with determination. "There's just something I need to attend to."
Jessy reached out, gently placing her hand on Bram's arm. "Please take care of yourself," she said softly, her voice filled with genuine care. "I'll be here waiting for you, whenever you're ready to talk."
Bram appreciated Jessy's understanding and support. He knew he needed to address the situation with the mysterious wolf and ensure their safety before he could fully focus on their friendship.
With a final smile, Bram bid Jessy goodnight, his heart heavy with the weight of the unresolved situation. As he walked away, he couldn't help but hope that he would find a way to protect their connection and bring peace to their lives.
As the sun dipped below the horizon and darkness enveloped the forest, Bram embraced his true nature and transformed into a wolf. It was in this form that he sensed the presence of another wolf, and to his surprise, it was Liyah, his best friend and a wolf who harbored feelings for him.
Bram's voice trembled with a mix of confusion and concern as he spoke. "Liyah? What... what are you doing here?" he asked, his tone filled with genuine surprise.
Liyah's disappointment was evident as she spoke, her voice tinged with sadness and frustration. "You said you were going to explore the world, meet other packs, and discover new experiences," she said, her words laced with a hint of hurt. "But here you are, in the land of the people, risking our lives for a girl."
Bram's heart sank as he realized the impact his actions had on Liyah. He understood her concerns and the potential dangers they faced by venturing into human territory. He had promised Liyah that he would embark on a journey of discovery, but his connection with Jessy had drawn him closer to her and made him hesitant to leave.
Liyah's reaction took Bram by surprise, as she expressed her disbelief and frustration at his decision to prioritize the human world over their tribe. She questioned his ability to balance both worlds and reminded him that Jessy was a human, making it impossible to find a true balance.
Bram felt a mix of anger and guilt, realizing the weight of his choices and the potential consequences. He promised Liyah that he would handle everything and asked her to go home, intending to address the situation with his father and the tribe.
Liyah's final warning struck Bram deeply. He understood the severity of the situation and the potential repercussions if his secret were to be revealed. "Go home, Liyah. I'll be there tomorrow," Bram replied, his voice filled with determination.
Liyah's voice carried a stern tone as she responded, making it clear that she would take action if Bram didn't fulfill his promise. "You make sure of that, Bram! Or I will tell your father what you are into," she warned, her words emphasizing the seriousness of the situation.
Bram watched as Liyah turned and disappeared into the darkness of the forest, leaving him alone with his thoughts. He knew that he had to find a way to navigate the complexities of his intertwined worlds and fulfill his responsibilities to both his father and the tribe.
Standing in the forest, Bram gazed at Jessy's house from a distance, deep in thought about the difficult choices he had to make. He contemplated the potential consequences of his actions and the impact they would have on both his wolf tribe and his relationship with Jessy.
The next morning, Bram didn't go to Jessy's house, leaving her wondering about his whereabouts. However, while working at the diner, Jessy noticed Bram standing outside.
Jessy asked Bram with a concerned expression, "What. what happened? Are you okay?" Bram looked into Jessy's eyes and gently explained, "My vacation leave from work is over. I have to go back." Jessy's face reflected a tinge of sadness upon hearing this news. "What? Already?"
