110 [Bonus chapter]Can’t Refuse


    Leon


    —–


    “Happy birthday Leon”


    My eyes widened instantly when I heard what Edward had just said; apparently, he knew that today was my birthday.


    I looked at him and smiled warmly, he held out his hand, and I shook it gently.


    “Thanks, Edward,” I said to him, and suddenly Edward gave me a small red box decorated with a blue ribbon.


    “This is for you!” He said while giving me the red box with a blue ribbon.


    I was surprised when he gave me a gift; I epted it and was about to open it directly when I was about to open it; Edward suddenly said that I had to open it when I got home and when I was alone.


    A bit strange and suspicious but I just nodded my head confirming what he said, after saying that sentence Edward went straight back to his ce, shortly after that suddenly David and several other students entered the ss, I who knew that immediately hid a present that Edward had just given.


    .....


    I knew this gift could be a problem if David found out about it. So I better put it away and open it when I get hometer.


    David smiled broadly, looking at me, and sat next to me; the two of us were chatting normally while waiting for ss to end, but not for long. Then, Patricia arrived while chatting and sat on the bench before us.


    Patricia smiled as she looked at David and me like she wanted to say something after this.


    David and I became alert as soon as Patricia was in front of us; David held my hand under the table, trying to keep me calm.


    “You two look so good together. Are you two dating?” Patricia asked David and me, but this time I didn’t feel like she was whispering anything melodious like before.


    I see now. I can tell the difference between when Patricia uses the Siren chant and when she doesn’t.


    “The two of us are dating but not going public because many other people probably wouldn’t like that!” David answered Directly what Patricia had just asked.


    I was surprised when David said it because I don’t think he said it because of Patricia’s Siren’s Singing Cradle, but because David wanted to say it.


    Patricia smiled at David’s answer, then she nodded and said, “That’s good if it’s like that; I like seeing you two so close,” Patricia said, smiling at us both.


    I was a bit confused with the purpose of Patricia, who suddenly came and sat on the bench in front of us and asked that sentence. There must be something else she wanted to ask the both of us because I can feel it.


    “By the way, Leon. Do you know where Robert is?”


    As I thought this was Patricia’s purpose in approaching the two of us, it turns out she wanted to find out the whereabouts of Robert. From the start, I suspected that something was going on between the two of them.


    “He hasn’t been to ss these few days; I also don’t know why that is because usually he alwayses to ss and is diligent in following lessons at school!” I answered, tricking her; I know that Robert must have decided not to go to school because he had problems with Patricia.


    “Oh, do you know where Robert’s house is?”~


    I widened my eyes when I got the question from her because this question was different than before. Her voice turned into a melody so soft to listen to in my ears.


    I was sure Patricia was currently using her powers to get information from me; my teeth shook as I tried to hold back from passing the information on to her.


    My heart was pounding so fast as I refrained from sharing information about Robert.


    But the cradle of questions from her was very difficult for me to refuse.


    David looked at me with a confused look; he sensed that something was different about me.


    Patricia, who asked me, immediately frowned when I didn’t immediately answer her question.


    Damn, I have to give this information to her because if Patricia finds out when I don’t go along with what she says, she might get suspicious of me.


    “His house is not far from street food near the main square, you can take a shortcut using the Footpath to go into the forest, but Robert’s real house is in a luxurious housing area that no one can enter!” I answered by holding my breath; if I didn’t try to hold back little by little from the original answer I had to give her, maybe she would be suspiciouster.


    Patricia smiled at me then, nodded her head, then stood up and said, “fine then; thank you, I hope you two willst forever,”


    Patricia walked away but was barely a few steps away from us both. She stopped and looked back at me; she smiled and said, “Happy birthday, Leon!”


    I nodded my head when I saw her finally leave ss.


    David immediately looked at me in panic and asked what was going on with me; I told him about the horrible feeling I had when I tried to reject Patricia’s question.


    David tried to calm me down by hugging me in the ssroom; he didn’t care that so many other students were looking at us. However, because I still couldn’t control myself due to wanting to reject Patricia’s question, I let my ssmates say anything to us.


    “We better have to be careful with her because if not, she could just ask us to do anything toply with her request, which is bad for us!” David said to me with a worried face; even a Werewolf in the Alpha ss, like David, still felt fear from Patricia with the power of her Siren chant.


    “Is there another way not to be swayed by the question?” I asked David because I didn’t want to feel the bad feeling I had just now.


    David paused and then looked at me “only a Witches can make an antidote to the Siren’s chant!” David answered, whispering to me while looking around him; he ensured Patricia was not at school.


    “Witch?”


    Aunt Chelsea can help with this matter because otherwise, I will find it difficult to face Patricia.


    “Leon, But how did you know Robert’s house was?”


    I immediately fell silent and widened my eyes to look at David when he asked me that question.
