Chương 61: Race

"I think that you have a big imagination." Lucas grabbed her nose slightly, then ran away.

"Wait!" Allison chased after him helplessly. •••• The school hours were boring as usual, but Lucas managed to get through them. He was now sitting in his car, talking and laughing with Allison about stuff that happened in school. When suddenly he saw Stiles running towards his car in a hurry. Stiles stopped when he saw them.

"Lucas! Scott's mom!" Seeing the weird look on their faces, he realized what he said sounded weird.

"Peter took Scott's mom for a date, but we are certain that he has a motive."

"I know his motive."

"You do?!" Stiles looked at him expectantly, that's until he heard the rest.

"Yes, since Peter can't convince Scott to be part of his pack, he now wants to be Scott's daddy." Lucas cheeks puffed, as he tried hard to maintain a straight face. Stiles was visibly struggling, not knowing if he should laugh or cry.

"We must do something!"

"That's right, I trust you'll succeed, good luck." Lucas patted his shoulder, then pushed him away. Stiles walked a few steps, and looked at him stupefied, while Lucas gave him only a thumbs up of encouragement. Stiles could only bite his tongue and leave helplessly. Observing that he was far enough, Allison gazed at him with curiosity.

"Aren't you worried that they will get hurt?" Lucas focused his gaze back on her, then shook his head. The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

"They will be fine for now, besides, they always seek trouble, so they need to learn to deal with it."

"Besides, don't think just because Peter seems so aggressive that he's really stupid. If he gets too far and lets the government notice something, they're gonna fry up his werewolf ass." Hearing this, Allison became even more interested.

"Doesn't the government have any knowledge about our side of the world?" Lucas thought for a few seconds before answering, then replied:"Most of them definitely, but there should be individuals that know or even hide it."

"Are they afraid that it will cause panic?"

"Maybe they are just helpless, although the military could easily kill an alpha like Peter, but what do you think will happen against a shapeshifter that manipulates minds and feeds on fear?" Her pupils shrank slightly; the thought of this happening gave her a chill, but the most terrifying was that such shapeshifters existed. As if reading her thoughts, Lucas continued talking.

"Nogitsune, that's the name of that creature. It could even bring a disaster on the entire world."

"Then how can you stop it?" Her eyes were full of worry.

"Every being has its weakness, even the powerful Nogitsune, and I haven't heard of one roaming free." Lucas reassured her with a smile, thinking that there's still some time before they would face one. Observing that she was still in deep thought, he shook his head, then signaled her to get in the car. •••• After dropping Allison at her house, he went back to his place. As usual, when he arrived, he felt a gaze watching him from the dark; he knew that it was Malia.

He then went into the house and grabbed some food, then sat down on the stairs leading to his door, and put the food next to him. Malia's eyes darted around, on him and the food at the same time. Her little nose sniffed a couple of times, before her hunger winning over her wariness. As she was eating, she still glanced at Lucas with apprehension in her eyes. Lucas only smiled gently at her, then spoke with a soft voice:"Don't worry, I will not hurt you."

Although the wariness towards him didn't completely disappear, her body relaxed slightly as she was eating. After finishing eating, she laid down next to him, now both staring in silence at the forest in the distance. Suddenly, both of their ears picked up some noise. Malia stood up and gazed at the forest. Lucas looked with interest towards the forest, then turned towards her.

"Are you interested in a race?" Her head tilted slightly while gazing into his eyes. Lucas, as if he didn't care if she understood, got up and took his gun from the house.

"Alright, at 3 we go."

"1.. 2…" Before he could say three, she already took off, running towards the forest.

"You sneaky bas…" Lucas laughed as he sprinted with all of his strength. They both flickered through the shadows of the trees. As he was running, Lucas looked at Malia in the distance. He felt that she was running with a speed of at least 80 km/h (50 mph). Malia glanced back from time to time, and when she saw that he was still keeping up, a flash of surprise appeared in her eyes.
