37 Encounter 2 (1/2)

”What do you want Alpha?”

Corinne braced herself feeling strange. despite knowing Alpha before she never killed someone, she keeps getting feeling something off.

There is a way to tell if a wolf or other were beasts taken innocent life before or not. if it was a Beta, his or her eyes would be bright blue, the same color as her's. if it was an Alpha, his or her eyes would be dimmed considerably and around the eyes, there will be a black circle appearing. these are the most noticeable and basic characteristic of a killer.

However, Alpha before her had neither. according to what she heard from Talia, this one most likely a True Alpha or a born Alpha. it's just that she couldn't figure out which kind this boy belongs to.

”Please, you can call me Max, it just that you are so beautiful and intelligent, I was thinking we should team up,” Max said as his smile gotten wider and wider.

No matter what I must make her help me. if she wasn't here, by now I would have gone back to the beacon hills. it was Max's exact thoughts.

”I work alone, you can do whatever you want but don't try to play buddy-buddy with me,” Corinne directly refused with a cold tone.

She didn't wish to work together with anyone ever again. what more, with a wolf, last time she worked with a wolf, she had to sacrifice half of her powers. but no...not this time.

”Oh! come on...it will be fun. I can tell, you are rather weak. I don't think you can fight alone whoever did this, I will be your muscle, you can be the brain” Max tried pursuing her agree with his proposal.

”Look at those cut, a single, clean strike to the neck. only with tremendous strength could archive this. even if this wasn't supernatural, which I believe it is, you can't handle them easily. you need some one's help. of course, I'm available” Max made his point leave room for Desert Wolf to think.

Sure enough, Corinne started thinking about Max's words. he was right, if she was at her prime she wouldn't need anyone's help. however, things are different now, if her theory was right she needs all the help she can get. it is unlikely her client would be any help until she finds out where those guys hiding.

”Fine! we can work together, but don't screw up anything and don't try to get close to me. all the wolves are lustful, even though you're young, there is no telling.”

Corinne reluctantly agreed to let Max tag alone. she just hoped, unlike last time, she won't have regretted this time around.

Max, on the other hand, smiled happily. although some of her words hurtful, no matter what, he couldn't do the police work good as Corinne does. she was Ex-US Martial, before becoming an assassin slash mercenary. Max, on the other hand, nothing more than clueless teenager slash Otaku. there is no way his sorry ass going to catch murders. he was like Watson in the Sherlock Holmes story. totally useless, except fighting and sniffing around.

”Although I don't why you don't like Wolves, its good to have you, partner”
