2 Dangerous Pursuit

I didn't know how to respond to Rachel's abrupt change of topic, so I just shook my head. "I haven't had time to see it. I've been busy with the wedding lately."

I wasn't particularly interested in such topics. There were many claims of people photographing a werewolf, but they were all fake.

"Oh, right. Yes, you're pretty busy. Emma, I suddenly feel like men are really too unreliable." Rachel quickly held my hand. "Except Abraham, of course."

I replied, "It's okay. It's really okay. I get what you mean."

"What I meant to say is werewolves are better than men. Werewolves will only have one lover in their entire lifetime. They will leave a mark of love on their lover. This mark is much more reliable than wedding rings and wedding vows."

"Rachel." I guess I've been so focused on getting married lately that I didn't care much about Rachel. It's only then that I realized Rachel's haggard face. I couldn't help but worry about her. "Why don't you come with us when I go on my honeymoon with Abraham? Take a break."

"What are you talking about?" Rachel hit my head. "I don't want to hear your happy moans."

Alice popped over. "What are y'all whispering?" She pulled a man over and made him sit beside me. She then told me excitedly, "This is the macho man I found for you. You won't have a chance to feel the ecstasy of other men in the future. Grab your chance tonight."

My face was filled with horror. The moment the man grabbed my hand, I quickly stood up and moved far away from him.

I really didn't anticipate that. Everyone appeared to be quite reserved, why were all of them so daring tonight?

Alice was puzzled and asked me, "What's wrong?"

I shook my head. "I'm not interested in that."

The atmosphere became awkward again.

Rachel hurried over to help me. "Come on, let's play with some dice."

I quickly pulled a few of my friends over to start playing dice. I had just experienced all of that, but what filled my mind was Abraham's perfect, sexy body.

It wasn't until ten at night that I saw it was about time, so I let everyone else just do whatever they wanted. I had to go.

Sara pulled me back and refused to let me go. "It's only ten o'clock. It's still early. If you leave, all the men here won't be in the mood to have fun anymore."

"I have to go. I have to get up early tomorrow." I didn't want to look bad tomorrow.

Rachel slapped Sara's hand away and pushed me to the door. "Get out of here and go home to get your beauty sleep. You must appear as a beautiful lady tomorrow."

"You're my bridesmaid, you're going to have a handsome man tomorrow!"

"I'll leave it all up to fate. I don't care anymore. Of course, if there are any werewolves, I'll go to bed right now," she jokingly said before giving me a hug and waved goodbye.

I was overwhelmed with emotions. As I walked out of the KTV, I felt as if I was about to have a whole new life instead of just a wedding.

The cool breeze outside was refreshing. It was pretty close to my home, so I decided to just walk back. There were many couples along the streets, holding hands and laughing. At that moment, I sincerely wished that they would be together forever and live a blissful live.

After passing by a park, I turned into a shortcut. It was an alley, and the dim yellow light was accompanied by fallen leaves. Even though it was such a desolated scene, it still looked very warm for me.

All of a sudden, a sharp cat scream pierced through the silence at night and startled me. I quickly calmed down and just as I was about to move forward, I felt something behind me.

I gathered my courage and turned around. Under a street lamp nearby, a man dressed in full black stood there. He wore a large black hat that covered almost his entire face, he was facing me and didn't move at all.

I could obviously feel that he was looking at me.

I felt a little panicky, but I was very familiar with the area. There were many cameras around and I was sure that he wouldn't dare to be so bold.

I quickened my pace, wanting to get out of this uncomfortable line of sight. However, as soon as I started walking, I felt the man behind me follow too.

I was the only one in the entire alley. The air was terrifyingly quiet, all I could hear was the sound of our footsteps. He had his eyes on me!

I started walking even faster, but the person behind also followed my pace.

I didn't dare turn back to look at him. I was afraid that if I did, he would pounce on me.

100 meters. 50 meters. 10 meters. I dashed out of the alley and ran to the mall on the opposite side.

There were lots of people on the main road, so I finally dared to turn back and look as I ran. Who knew that he would start running as well. He quickly dashed towards me.

He was very agile, and it seemed like his black outfit was going to burst open from his huge muscles hidden underneath. What if he didn't care about his life and really intended to do something to me, it would only take him seconds to take my life away once he came over.

I was so scared that I rushed to the entrance of the mall to look for security. I panicked and wanted to explain myself to the security guard, but before I could even say anything, a loud explosion came from above. It was deafening. Everyone instinctively covered their ears, and I was no exception.

After that, many heavy objects flew out of nowhere and smashed onto the road.

The crowd panicked and fled in all directions. Someone shouted, "Fire! Fire!"

"There's an explosion! Explosion!"

Hearing that, the security guard broke into a run. I wanted to get out of the place as well, but I didn't dare act rashly. I had to determine the man's location first to prevent him from coming out of nowhere and stabbing me.

I scanned the area quickly but didn't see the man wearing the black hat.

People kept running out of the mall, and I kept getting pushed out. I looked around for the man wearing the black hat, but I couldn't find him.

I couldn't care less. Taking advantage of the panicked crowd, I ran in the direction of my home. I ran all the way to the entrance of the neighborhood, but the man wearing the black hat didn't appear again.

I heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like I had successfully gotten rid of danger.

However, I just couldn't figure out his motive. If it was to rob me to get money and lust, why was he still chasing me on the main road? He charged at me as if he wanted to take my life.
