Not So Happily Ever After

The cold air pricks through my old, raggy, white polo shirt like icy needles. I guess my dark jeans help a bit but I'm still fucking cold. I then morph into a wolf and take off running. My now light gray fur protects me from the storm but it's still terribly hard to see and I'm covered in snow in seconds.
I try to run to the den of my clan. It's not really a den though. It's just a shabby old appartment building that everyone in my clan lives in. I get to the gate and morph back. I slip through the gate and make my way to my apartment.
Maybe I was too harsh on Gerard. No. I shake my head. I actually should have killed him. No, what am I saying? I keep denying myself but I know I am slowly developing a crush. On a Vampire. But it was obvious he had one too, so why should I feel guilty?
I keep thinking about these things as I trudge through the storm to my apartment. I finally get to the door and get in. I am exhausted and I immediately fall asleep.
I dream of Gerard. Not really of me being with him. Just his face and how it's shaped. His hazel eyes and the tint of red they have because of his Vampire blood.
I wake up notice the sound of the wind and stopped. I walk over to the window rubbing my eyes and look out. The window in covered in frost. Everything outside in covered in a blanket of white. I close the dirty curtains and walk away into the bathroom to freshen up.
As I wash my face all I think about is Gerard. I decide to go to The Alpha. I guess I could nonchalantly ask him what would happen if a Werewolf got with a Vampire. I put on a new white shirt and a black jacket and walk out.
The Alpha is actually the owner of the complex, Méchant Loup. I don' t really know how get obtained leadership. He always is making inappropriate jokes and cusses a lot.
I walk up to office and walk in. There he is in full Werewolf form with his paws on the table. I grit my teeth at the sight of him. His cream colored fur sticks up in many directions. He sneers.
"Hello Frank.", He says.
"Jimmy." I say trying to not sound annoyed.
"What the fuck do you need? Can't you see I'm busy?", He asks, gesturing to his desk with nothing on it but a laptop.
"Real busy doing what, Jimmy?", I start, "Watching something that you shouldn't be at work?"
"Fuck off Frank.", He growls, "Why the hell did you come here anyways?"
What did I come here for? Oh yes. If I'd be ripped to pieces for being in a gay relationship with a Vampire.
"So, uh, let's say there was this Werewolf. And he had a pretty normal Werewolf life.", I start and I can tell he's annoyed,"And he sees this Vampire and since there's mortals around, he can't kill him but then has a crush on he or-'
'Where the fuck is this going, Frank?", he asks.
"Uh...Well if they did ever get together, what would happen to them?", I say nervously.
He smirks as he says, "Well, first the Wolf would be given to his fellow clanmates to be mauled to death and I'd kill the Vampire personally."
I gulp.
"Well okay then um, I have somewhere to be now. Bye.", I say sweating and swiftly walk out.
Oh god. I can't talk to him again then. But I have to. Gerard is beautiful and I can't let someone like that slip away without a chance. Even if they're technically my sworn enemy.
I slowly make my way to his house. I somehow remembered the address as I trudged through the snow.
I eventually get there and brush down my clothes before I knock on the door. I walk up and muster up enough courage to knock. He answer the door and looks happy to see me but then he hardens his look.
"What do you want, Frank?", He hisses.
"Well, good day to you too.", I reply sarcastically.
He raises his eyebrows.
"So, I came here to say I'm sorry for last night...", I say slowly, looking down at the floor.
"Oh.", He says, running his hand through his jet black hair.
"So, yeah. Um, are we good then?"
"Sure.", He replies and he looks a bit happier," Would you like to come inside?"
I know I should said no but I couldn't now if I ever wanted a chance with Gerard.
"Okay", I say smiling.
It was the first time I genuinely smiled in a very long time. And it was all because of my stupid crush on a Vampire.
