Office Romance with a Werewolf

"The wolf will be in danger!" Daniel shouted as he pulled the blanket around him and got off the bed.

"Where are you going? You're not entirely well!" She pulled the blanket over him to prevent him from going out of the room.

"I am fine now! We need to hurry! The wolf will be in dang— ugh!" Daniel held on to his head as he felt dizzy again.

"See, I told you! You're not fine yet!"

"J-just get me clothes."

"Your room is locked."

"tsk. Then support me to go up."

Nida can't understand why Daniel is suddenly in a rush and just supported him to go up to his room.

Once Daniel opened his room, Nida looked around the room, checking what was inside. She was wondering why he needed to lock it for others not to peep inside, but there was nothing interesting that caught her eyes.

The same is with the interior of Daniel's house; his bed, chair, furniture, and everything else are either black or white.

Daniel pinched her to stop her inspection and tell her to stop looking around. He then went to his walk-in closet and wore his usual black clothes.

Of course, she came with him to support him, and she had another close view of Daniel's body.

"Pervert!" Daniel shouted as he noticed that Nida was drooling while looking at his chest. Disgusted by Nida's fetish for nipples, he pushed her to move out of the room.

Nida snapped out of staring at Daniel's body and back at supporting him.

"Let's teleport to where the wolves are gathering, but I'll be knocked out after that. That is why you need to do it instead of me."

"Do what?"

"Supernatural races are protected by their gods, but the wolves lost their god for a while, and I am acting as a proxy. Since you repelled my protection of them, I need to recast it. We need to hurry!"

"Mila is neglecting her duty!?" Nida exclaimed, as she felt bad for the wolves for having an irresponsible guardian.

"It's a long story." Daniel leans against the wall because Nida is taking her time asking about the current situation. 

"We don't have time. I'll teleport you to where they are and cast your protection over them."

"I refuse!"

"We don't have to be stubborn, Nida! Come on!"

"No! The more I look at it, the more I see that you have gotten weak because of using your divine powers, so I am against you making a move. Rest here!"

Nida dragged him to his bed and pushed him down.

"Take care of yourself first before others!"

"You don't have the right to tell me that when you are the cause of this!"

"What? What about me? What did I do?" Nida shouted indignantly, as she wasn't aware yet of her fault.

"You remove my spell on the wolves! It's hard to repel my spell. How come you do that?"

"What did you mean? I didn't cast a repelling spell on you! I have no knowledge of using these shity divine powers!" she protested.

"I only did what Angel instructed me to do!"

"You followed her without seeing through her scheme?"

"What's a scheme? She just helped me with my issue with the wolves! What is it?" She shouted while she asked a question about Angel. She feared that she had been tricked again.

"Tell me! Tell me in detail so that I can understand!"

"They'll be all dead if we sit around her and chat! I'll tell you about it after you cast them for protection."

Daniel talks in a hurry because he needs to teach Nida how to cast it.

"You know what? I'll teach you everything after this. Just listen to me first!" Daniel held both her shoulders and talked to her closely. 

"I can't go with you so once you're near to them. Clasp your hand, concentrate, and say this sincerely, ~I am Nida, and I will be taking over this werewolf guardianship. A dim light will glow on your hand as a confirmation after that. Then come home here without the wolves knowing. easy, right? Now do it!"

Nida can't believe Daniel's way of instructing her as she continues to refuse his order.

"Am i gonna cast a thing again, which is that I am not entirely without knowledge at all? You haven't told me why you collapsed and are this sick!"

"Nida! Please stop being stubborn and just follow what I am saying. "

"I trust you, but I don't want to move any farther without knowing anything!"

"Fine! I was sick because I used teleportation spells, which are energy-consuming spell."

Nida crossed her arms, waiting for Daniel to tell her why.

"I used that spell because I was looking for you! I want to prevent you from acting recklessly and following Angel's scheme. You can't trust her. She's a dark elf!"

"What? She seems to be good and trustworthy, though?"

"I'll tell you the details later, but you need to hurry!"

"Okay, okay, but don't let me be their guardian for long, okay?"

"Yes, yes. Remember what I said, okay?"

"Okay!"

Once Nida responded with an okay sign with her hand, the room distorted, then she re-appeared on the floor beneath where the werewolves were gathering.

The loud music from the party above could be heard from where she was, and that made her click her tongue. 

"They dare to party while we are suffering here." She was upset. 

She clasped her hand, thinking that she needed to hurry back, worrying about Daniel collapsing after he sent her near the wolves. 

"I am Nida! I will take over guarding this werewolf pack!"

She said, but there was no dim light to confirm that she had cast it well.

"I am Nida. I will take over this werewolf guardianship!" 

She shouted her statement, and finally a dim light glowed in her hand for confirmation. 

"I'm done here." She said as she walked off the floor and used the elevator to get down.

She didn't think of going up to observe the wolf since she doesn't like to see Angel. She is extremely irritated with her, despite the fact that she is unaware of the details. Based on Daniel's statement, it seems she almost fell for her scheme. 

She waved for a taxi once she went out of the building. She took a last glance at the building before riding in the taxi, but that action made her regret it.

She saw something weird lurking around the building and was keeping a watchful distance towards the wolves' gathering place.

Tsk.

She clicked her tongue as she realized a new hassle was here for her to do work.

"Sorry, Manong, I forgot something. You can go." She apologized to the taxi driver since she wouldn't be returning home soon.

She raised her eyes to the creatures that were lurking around the building, preparing to ambush the wolves.

The dark creatures are already in their stance to attack, as if they are ready to attack any minute soon.

"Does Daniel's guardianship protect them from getting tracked by their enemies?"

She then clasped her hand again and concentrated on talking to her dust.

"My precious dust. I know I am asking too much again. But can you help me protect these creatures from being ambushed? My lover is also there. Please protect him and his family." She sincerely prayed, but the moment she opened her eyes, she saw the dark creatures kicking off their muscled, and horse-like legs and going straight to the wolves. Nida panicked as she saw them attacking while the wolves were still clueless. Everyone in the pack isn't in their berserk form, which is why they might be at the most disadvantage from the surprise attack.

"Dust! My dust! Please help!" She shouted, and a swarm of dust went flying out of her body and shot up into the sky.

The dust moves so fast that it even passes across the werewolf enemies and envelopes the werewolves first before the enemies can appear.

"Everyone! Berserk!"

Of course, the werewolves panicked and thought that the Priestess was attacking them, but the dust just came up close to them and formed an umbrella and acted like a shield.

Baam!

Boom! 

Boom!

Soon after the dust came, another group of individuals came and launched their attack on them, but it was useless because their attacks were shielded by the dust.

Only the sounds of banging and crashing could be heard in the area.

"What is happening?"

Everyone is now in their berserk state but not moving out of the umbrella shaped dust to observe the situation first.

But they need to identify the enemy first before they can fight back.

"Tikbalang! They tracked us!" a wolf shouted as soon as he recognized the individuals that were crazily banging on the shield protecting each one of them.

"Tikbalang? How did they come out here? in the middle of the city?"

Note:

The Tikbalang is a creature of Philippine folklore said to lurk in the mountains and rain forests of the Philippines.. It is a tall, bony humanoid creature with the head and hooves of a horse and disproportionately long limbs, to the point that its knees reach above its head when it squats down.
