But being the idiot that Harry was, he stopped us and wanted to go back even though he was out of danger.
“John is still there. We can’t just leave.”
With that, Harry turned around, intending to go back. Although he was always cheerful and carefree, he could sometimes be more stubborn than anyone else.
I growled with frustration.
Harry glanced at me and paused for a few seconds. Then, he looked away and said, “You two wait for me here. I’ll go back and find John.”
“I’ll come with you.”
Unexpectedly, Sylvia offered to follow Harry instead of stopping him.
In desperation, I howled loudly to express my opposition.
But they didn’t bother listening to me.
Sylvia squatted and rubbed my head. “I don’t know who you are, but thank you for saving us today. But we still have to go back. We can’t leave our companion behind.”
I rested my paw on Sylvia’s hand and stared at her in an attempt to make her understand what I was trying to tell her.
But Sylvia didn’t seem to receive any information from me. She said goodbye to me and took Harry’s hand, intending to go back.
The situation was getting out of control, and it pissed me off.
I had no choice but to run forward and stop them.
“What happened?” Sylvia frowned at me in confusion.
I howled and returned to my human form, for they left me with no choice.
“You don’t have to go back. I’m right here.” I felt embarrassed to face them, so I lowered my head.
Both Sylvia and Harry fell silent.
I looked up in surprise and saw them staring at me with wide eyes.
Sylvia was shocked. She blinked at me in disbelief. “You are… John? Are you a she-wolf?! What’s going on? Oh my God! I had no idea!”
I nodded sheepishly and admitted that I was a she-wolf.
Although the secret was exposed, I strangely felt relaxed, perhaps because I had been hiding it for so long.
“How… how could your wolf…” Harry stuttered but couldn’t finish his sentence.
His face had turned beet red.
I knew why he was surprised. When I turned into my wolf form, the scent-concealing spell on me would lose its effect. It was obvious he had found out that I was his mate.
Sylvia soon calmed down and asked me why I disguised myself as a man.
“It’s a long story…” Harry cut in.
I glared at him in silent warning, hoping for him not to blabber nonsense.
Sylvia turned and looked at Harry in disbelief. “So, you already knew it?”
Harry instantly shut his mouth.
I couldn’t tell them the real reason why I was disguised as a man for the time being. Sylvia was no fool like Harry, so I had to find an appropriate excuse.
As I wracked my brain to think of something, Harry spoke on my behalf.
Sylvia’s POV
I couldn’t very well handle the new situation here. I’d always thought John was a dude, but in reality, he was not a he, but a she?
After finding out that John was actually a she-wolf, I realized her face indeed looked more feminine and delicate. I had thought that John’s build was relatively small among the other male werewolves. It all made sense now.
‘Why didn’t I think of this before?’
I looked at her and asked why she had disguised herself as a man. However, Harry spoke on behalf of her.
“Don’t ask. Joanna has her own issues. Besides, the school has no rule that states a female student shouldn’t dress up as a man. It’s all their personal choice.” Harry turned and smiled at John.
That was when I found out that John’s real name was Joanna.
However, the drastic change in Harry’s attitude toward Joanna surprised me. He used to loathe John so much, but he seemed to have accepted that his frenemy was a she-wolf too soon.
I suspected he might have known it for a long time and had been hiding it from us.
Joanna ignored Harry and said, “I will tell you the reason when the right time comes. Don’t ask about it now.”
I thought about what I had done and apologized to Joanna, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have asked you too many questions. Your gender will continue to remain a secret. Don’t worry.”
“Thank you,” Joanna nodded, forcing a smile.
“You don’t have to thank her. After all, that’s what friends are for.” Harry grinned and threw his arm around Joanna’s shoulder.
Joanna mercilessly slapped Harry’s hand away and looked at me. “Let’s leave this place first. Prince Rufus will be worried.”
My stomach churned when she mentioned Rufus. He would certainly go berserk if I didn’t go back on time.
“Let’s go.”
We didn’t dare pick up the cars, fearing the vampires might capture us, and so we ended up walking back.
