Life is unpredictable,
It changes with the seasons,
Even your coldest winter,
Happens for the best of reasons,
And though it feels eternal,
Like all you'll ever do is freeze,
I promise spring is coming,
And with it, brand new leaves

This moment.Antoine had waited all his life for this moment.He dreamed everyday when he would meet the right girl for him and when he did,would his heart know she was the one?Waiting.A scary word and yet with it,you could get what you finally waited for.Waiting was hard,let alone you didn't know what you were waiting for. Antoine didn't know what he was waiting for,no,he didn't know who he was waiting for.But he didn't stop waiting,even with the littlest hope,he waited,for a day when he could finally meet her.

When his own eyes met with those warm
brown eyes of hers,somehow,he knew,that that girl was the one he was waiting for all his life.His heart beat so fast that it hurt.She became the center of his world.And from now on, she was the only one who would matter.

That's how the imprinting worked.It tied them together.He would know how she felt,her presence.But certainly she wouldn't feel this bond.He wondered how this relationship would even work.

Antoine finally knew how imprinting felt. Yet he couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.
So,I have imprinted on her,and what now?
I don't even know her name.It was like imprinting on some random girl,if I didn't know better.

Get out of here,Park Soo Min.Get out of here. A small voice shouted at the back of her mind.But she stayed rooted on her spot, unable to move with shock.

She knew what she was supposed to do when she encountered this kind of condition,she knew really well.

She knew she was different.Her mother had told her that,told her so that she could get out of unwanted situation.

She closed her eyes,once,twice,but the wolf was still there.

Her eyes marveled on the wolf sitting a metre away from her.

It had a pair of tawny eyes. She knew those pair of eyes should have turned her legs to jelly out of fear,they ought to be,but she didn't feel afraid.

Those pair of eyes had a hint of gentleness and warmness when it gazed at her.
Supposed to be "he".It is a werewolf afterall.

When she feel a bit calmer, calm enough to move from her spot,she averted her eyes from the werewolf,and walked straight ahead as if it was never there before.

That's it...just walk straight ahead. Don't give any hint that you could see it...or him.

She was just going to break into a run,when her head bumped into something hard and warm.

As she looked up,she realized she bumped into someone chest,a man's chest.

Heat started to find its way to her cheek, making her cheek flushed.

"I'm sorry, I was in a hurr-" her words were cut short when she looked up and gazed into a pair of tawny eyes.

◆◆◆

As Antoine watched,the girl recovered from her shock,straighten her back,and started to walk straight ahead.

Oh, she's leaving.

Antoine got panic for a while,not knowing what to do since he had never encountered anything like this.

In his panic, he shifted back to his human form.

One thing he was ever grateful of being a werewolf-besides the super speed,strength,smelling and hearing-was that when he shifted back from his wolf form to human form,his shirt remained intact.

He couldn't imagine him being left naked in front of her.The thought was mortifying.

He found himself in front of the girl, blocking her way.Her head bumped onto his chest.

Antoine could see heat rising up to both of her cheeks.Her pale complexion made her blush stood up even more clearly.

To add it,the smell of citrus hit him,filling his nose.She smelled so good,so refreshing and so sweet.

Seeing her blush this way,made his heart jumped weirdly in his heart and he fought the urge to smile in case he scared the hell out of her.
Definitely not the first impression I want.

He watched as the blush in her cheeks started to fade,her big round eyes opened up even wider in surprise as she took him in.

He watched in amusement as she averted her eyes and started to fiddle with her bag, feigning ignorance.

Antoine knew she could see him, but chose to play along. He waved his hand in front of her,"Hey,can you see me?".

She kept fiddling with her other things, he noticed. She played with her thin silver bracelet which she wore in her left hand.

'Silver?'he thought but quickly shoved the thought away.

He could see the sign of nervousness at the set of her shoulder and the way her eyes flickered back and forth.

"Alright,stop ignoring me.I know you can see me.You literally bumped your head onto me just now."

She set her gaze on him,straight in the eyes.

He could see through her mask,she was feigning bravery.

He wondered how afraid she was of him.

He softened his gaze and dropped his voice to a more gentle tone.

"Don't be afraid.I won't hurt you." he said as gentle as he could.

"I just want to ask whether you could see me or not."

She stuttered,"Of c-ourse.H-how come I can't see you w-hen you are standing in front of me like this ?"

At that, Antoine broke into a smile,"You know that's not what I mean.I heard you just now.You can see my true form.Who are you?No,what are you?"

She stared at him,hard,"I'm a human, obviously."

She broke her gaze and looked down to check her watch. Her eyes grew wide and she muttered,"Oh My God, bless me.Don't let me be late or I will be a dead meat."

At that, she broke into a run,shoving past Antoine and turned around the corner.

Antoine watched as she grew smaller and smaller as she ran towards school.

School,that's it.I will find you there.
