“Midnight Hollow.” I whisper under my breath as I drive by the big board announcing the small town where I’m moving for.
The town was old for what I’ve read, founded by two extremely wealthy families in Victorian times. The houses and shops were like that have come out from an old movie, with the beautiful large windows and rustic vibe. I notice several people walking around, doing their business. There were many people for such a small town but I like it since I’ve come from a really big city, full of car honks and people yelling at each other.
I stop my car where the GPS said that I had arrived at my destiny and look through the car window, seeing a massive old house. “So this is my aunt’s house…” I murmured in awe, walking out of the car.
On a miserable day of working my ass on that awful diner. When I arrived at my small apartment, I open my mailbox and saw a strange letter with my name. Writing there, was the patrimony that my aunt- which I didn’t knew that I had- have left for me. I was shocked when I saw the massive amount of money that she had left for me, along with a house in a town in the middle of nowhere in Alaska. I fired myself and packed my bags, happy to live that piece of shit apartment. And now, here I am! Looking at a huge victorian house that’s now mine.
Closing the car’s door, I walk to the small gate and put my hands on my waist. “Holy fuck…It’s big!” I said while looking at the house.
“That’s what she said!” a sultry voice suddenly sounded beside me, forcing a squeal out from my lips.
Turning my head to side, I saw a really handsome man with dirty blond hair and two beautiful brown eyes. He looked older than me but that didn’t stop me from drooling a little, seeing how strong his arms looked. His natural tan skin glowing under the hot sun, make him even more beautiful.
I shook my head and lift my brow at him, eyeing him up and down. “Aren’t you old enough to make those kinds of jokes?” my voice full of sarcasm. “Also, who are you?”
The gorgeous man took a step forward, so close to me that I could feel his heat and smell his spicy cologne. “It’s never too old for this joke,” he said with a devious smirk, looking down at me with his dark eyes. “I’m Nicolas! Nice to meet you!” he extends his arm, offering me his large hand. I took it and shake it gently, feeling his rough palm under mine.
“It nice to meet you too, Nicolas. I’m Kylie.” I look around and then to my bags in the car. “Since you must live here for some time, could you tell me if there’s a good place to eat? I had a long trip and the granola bars didn’t fill my stomach.” I said while resting my back on the car’s door.
Nicolas nods and points to my bags in the car. “Sure do! How about this, Doll Face! I help you bring your bags to the house and then I will take you to the best restaurant in Midnight Hollow!” he winks at me, giving me his best sexy smile which is working since I find myself agreeing with his deal.
“Sounds like a plan,” I said.
Nicolas helps me bring my stuff to the house and I was shocked as I see him lifting five heavy bags at once like it was nothing. Inside the house was like a dream, it was decorated with a mix of victorian and modern decor. I was happy with that since I had almost nothing to decor it, only some old pictures and candle stuff.
There was four bedrooms, each one with a bathroom. The kitchen was huge, I could almost fit twenty people in here maybe more. There was a big living room, there was a beautiful old fireplace which I may will use very much. On the other room was a piano. it was in a little bad shape but with some cleaning, it would be good as new.
There was also a massive backyard that was really in bad shape. The grass was huge, making the garden look like a jungle. A large tree had fallen in the middle and i already knew that would be a pain in the ass to get rid of it.
After putting all the bags in the house, Nicolas leads me to the town. He shared some stories of his childhood in here and introduce me to some people which earn me a job interview for a bookstore.
We arrive at the restaurant and I was surprised by how modern it looked. There was a big line to walk in but Nicolas grabbed my hand and walks right in, passing in front of everyone. He winks at me and smirks. “Don’t worry! I know the owner,” he said.
A waitress led us to a table for two that was in the corner of the big room, away from the prying eyes. Nicolas pushed the chair for me to sit and then goes to sit in front of me. I look around in awe, watching the beautiful decorations of the place. There was a little Halloween vibe to it but made it very unique. I feel a burning gaze on me and i turn my face to the side, my eyes meeting Nicoles’s dark ones.
“So…You said that you know the owner? Where he is?” i asked, trying to hide my blush.
Nicolas let out a chuckle, his voice deep and sultry. “You are looking at him,” he said while pointing to him, grinning like a dork.
My eyes bulge from my face, shocked by his words. “You!?…Wow.” i squealed, looking at him with wide eyes. “You don’t look like someone who owns a five stars restaurant, no offense!”
Nicolas throws his head back and begins laughing, putting his large hand on his little belly bulge which i found really cute and sexy. “Yeah…i get that a lot.” he cleans his tears from laughing and smiles down to you. “But yeah, i own this place and I’m the chief!” that earns him another laugh as he watches my mouth hanging open.
I let out a giggle and smile gently to him. “You are really something, Nicolas.”
During dinner, I and Nicolas talk about our things in common. I like my coffee black, he also likes his coffee black. I love to go for a run the mornings, he also loves to run in the morning. I must say that I’m starting feeling something for Nicolas, not for he begin gorgeous as fuck - Well, a little - but he’s sweet and gentle. I don’t believe love at first sight and never will. That’s what the hopeful romantic people say, always thinking that their lives will be like romance books. But something in Nicolas piqued my interest, something that i couldn’t put my finger on it.
We finished our meals - and let me tell you, it was fucking good! That man sure knows how to cook. - and walk back to my place. When we arrive, I begin thinking of inviting him in but then he would think that I’m that kind of girl that sleeps with a man on the first date and I’m NOT that kind of woman.
“Thanking you for helping with my stuff and for the dinner, Nicolas.” I said while opening the gate.
He chuckles and rubs his hand on the back of his neck. “No problem! I’m glad to help…and to fill your belly.” he winks and took a step back, starting to walk back to his house. “Sleep well, Kylie…And don’t let the big bad wolf get you!” I roll my eyes and chuckle, waving goodbye to him.
“Big bad wolf…as if!” i murmured under my breath while walking in, throwing my jacket and bag to the chair beside the door.

During the first week, I spend my days working in the backyard since it was the only place that really needs some work. Nicolas would sometimes appear and help you, bring some of his bulky friends. Together, they chop off the massive tree in the garden which made me super happy cause I would have logs for my fireplace during the winter.
I got a job at Sally’s bookshop. The owner was an old woman, which her name was Sally, and she was working alone there. She was more than happy to let me work there, saying that she was too old for climbing stairs and carrying heavy books at the same time.
I was happy with my new life here. Midnight Hollow was for sure a very strange town but it was good. I like strange things - get it? Strange things, stranger things? Nevermind. - and the down was peaceful. But on one certain morning, during my jog. I saw something really strange in the woods beside my house. It was shaped like a wolf but bigger, much bigger.
It quickly disappears, running into the dense woods and I never saw it again. I told Nicolas but he said that there were wolves in the woods but not massive wolves. I try to convince myself that maybe I saw wrong and it was nothing, only a prank that my eyes made to me. And so, i forgot it.

Taking a deep breath, i clean the sweat off from my forehead. I had been running for a good hour now, following the path in the woods. It was a beautiful day but it has become colder since winter was getting closer.
I grab my water bottle and took a long sip, moaning in pleasure as the cold water runs down my throat. Suddenly, a loud roar grabbed my attention. I look to my right side and saw a huge bear walking slowly towards me, growling lowly. I try to keep calm, staying very still for not to trig the bear off. My heart was beating like crazy, almost jumping off from my chest.
What do I do?! Run? Don’t run? Maybe I yell or something. As i was deep on my thoughts, i didn’t notice in time the bear charge to me. A loud scream fell from my lips, wrapping my arms around my head and closing shut my eyes. I curl into a small ball in the ground, waiting for the fatal blow but…but it never came.
I heard the bear whine in pain and another growl that come in front of me. I hear the bear run away, whining in fear and pain. Then, total silence. Even the birds had stop singing.
Slowly, i open my eyes and what i saw made me gasp in fear and awe. In front of me was a massive wolf. it was ten feet tall, maybe a little bigger. His fur was grey with smalls blond spots.
The wolf stood up, turning to me. I crawl away, hitting my back into a tree. Now, he was huge! Stretching his strong back and legs. His canines come out from his large mouth, shining sharply which made a shiver run down my spine. He took a step towards me and lifts his gigantic hands, trying to calm me.
“It’s okay…I’m not going to hurt you.” his voice was rough and deep and…sultry. The familiar voice reminding me of Nicolas.
“Whoa…What?! Nicolas?!” I whisper, standing up slowly. “Is that you?” i said while looking to his dark brown eyes, the same shade of Nicolas’s.
He nods and kneels down, grabbing gently my small hand with his large one. I shiver in excitement as I felt his warmth, wanting to bury my face on his soft fur. There was a little bit of blood on his snout but it didn’t scare me, now that i knew that this large beast it is Nicolas.
“Sure thing, Doll Face.” i roll my eyes at his nickname for me. Now certain that was him.
I gave him another good look, staring in awe at his large muscled frame. “How’s this possible?! Werewolves exists?” I asked quietly, stroking slowly his strong chest. Feeling it vibrate with his deep voice.
“Oh Doll Face… You don’t even know what kind of creatures exists in this world!” he looks down to me, his massive face hiding the bright sun. “You don’t need to be afraid of me, Kylie.” he whispers gently, making goosebumps spread through my body.
We stay there for hours. Nicolas told me that Midnight town was some kind of sacred place for mythical creatures and that i and my aunt was the first humans to enter on it. He also told me that he was the only werewolf in the town which made him very powerful. The creatures who live in the town were mostly shapeshifters, fae folk, and other creatures.
My head was dizzy from all the new information, shocked that such beings existed all this time and I’ve never known. The sky began to darken and air chilled, make me shiver in cold. Nicolas stood on his four legs and nods to his back.
“Hop on! I will take you to your house,” he said.
I swallow a lump in my throat and climb slowly to his back, grabbing tightly his soft fur. “Please! Don’t go to fastAHHH” I scream as Nicolas jumps and starts running fast. The cold wind hitting my face like razors. During the trip, the only thing I could think of was. What hell I got into?!
