Solution?

Dahlia immediately climbed down the car to have fresh air. His scent in the car wasn't helpful. However he followed her to check on her.

"Dahlia, what is wrong?" he asked with concern.

"why did you do that?" she asked with a small voice filled with emotion.

"What?" Eder couldn't understand what she was talking about.

"why did you.. kiss me?" she finished with a small voice. "what's wrong with it? We both wanted it" he tried to hold her hand but she refused to be touched.

"no, you shouldn't have" she stepped back from him and held her head.

"why not?" he pulled her hand from her face.

"you shouldn't have" she repeated shaking her head.

"I can't understand why? You can't deny that there is something between us." he grabbed her waist and pulled her closer. "don't you feel this? We are meant to be together. I can feel it and I know you feel it too"

"please stop" she whispered softly. "it's for your own good, you have to stay away from me" for the first time, Eder saw raw emotions in her eyes. His heart tightened because that was not the emotions he wanted to see. What he saw was heart wrenching, and that reinforced his will. Now he was sure, he knew he couldn't stay away.

"I can't. I really can't stay away from you anymore. No matter what you say or do, I can't just stay away anymore"

An unknown feeling bloomed in Dahlia's chest. This genuine concern in his eyes made her feel something she didn't even know how to name.

"you don't know what you are saying" she said shaking her head lightly. "you know nothing about me" she whispered.

"then tell me everything there is to know. Because I am not going to give up on you" he said. Dahlia's breathing started turning into pants. She felt heat rise in her body. It was starting again.

"Dahlia" he called with a soft voice, the look in his eyes changed and a frown formed on his face. Dahlia looked up and met his gaze. "your body… is... heating up" he could hardly understand. Her body was literally heating up in his arms as if a fire was lit from within her and making her hot.

"let's… let's go back to the hotel" she said softly, leaving the comfort of his arms and climbed in the car. Eder was perplex for a while but he quickly shook away the feeling, climbed in and drove them to the hotel.

As soon as the car stopped in front of the hotel, Dahlia climbed out and walked fast into the building. Eder followed fast but he couldn't catch up before the elevator's door closed. He could only sighed with his hand on his waist.

"so, what happened?" He heard Matt's voice in the corridor.

"I kissed her" Eder admitted. Matt's jaw fell.

"you- you did what?" he couldn't believe it. "then why is she… running away from you?"

"come let me explain" he pressed the elevator's button and Matt followed him in.

Matt sat in a couch listening to Eder without saying a word. Eder explained to him how things happened.

"I still can't understand. You say her body became hot?"

"literally"

"it makes no sense. I hear this phenomenon only happens to werewolves female when they are in heat"

"ti also don't understand. I may have mistaken too." Eder told him, he felt frustrated by this whole situation. "she is so stubborn and refuse to acknowledge that there is something between us. It's not just my imagination. It is real. It is something I have never felt before Matt. It is so strong. I still can't understand… " Matt looked at his friend with a sympathetic look.

"this is beyond physical attraction, you know that right?"

"whatever, it is. But I can't let her get away"

"but she clearly said she want you away from her"

"There is something she is hiding from me. Something that concerns me that she hiding."

"what could that be?"

"I have no idea but I will find out"

"you know that when she doesn't want you to know something, you won't find it right?"

"then I will ask her."

"you are obsessed with her"

"yes I am. Say whatever you want Matt,but she will be mine. Even if I have to destroy the world for that"

"what if she fights you to keep you away?"

"then she will have to kill me, even then I can't promise that I will stop" Matt shook his head. The goddess broke his friend far beyond repair.

...

The next day, the sun rose over the luxurious hotel where the special guests were resting. Except a few. Eder couldn't sleep at all. He kept wondering all night what could be the reason why Dahlia was keeping his distance with him, but he could find none and it was frustrating him. They were supposed to go back to their country today. The reason why they came was for that stupid bald Leni man's gala, that was to win them a project but things happened the way they did and he could hardly care for the project anymore.

Eder left his bed and got ready for the day. When he was done, he wondered if Dahlia was awake. So he just went to knock on her door. However, he got no reply. He was sure that she was still in there, he could feel her. He knocked again but nothing.

"Mr Galann" he heard someone call out to him. He found the golden haired man with blue eyes. Dahlia faithful righthand man.

"Emmett, is she awake?"

"I haven't seen her yet this morning. She is surely going through her morning routine"

"okay" Eder said nodding. Emmett turned to leave. "Emmett!" Eder called. Emmett turned back to look at him.

"yes,"

"has it been long that you work for her?"

"yes, long indeed"

"then I assume that you know her a bit"

"yes, I think so"

"do you have an idea what is going on with her?" he asked straightforward, not beating around the bush. Though he was not sure Emmett would give away his boss so easily, he still had to try.

Emmett stood on spot quietly for a few seconds. He wasn't authorized to say a word about his boss' predicament. However, he was never forbidden of giving hint to the solution. Right?

"your proximity" Emmett said and then walked away. A frown appeared on Eder's handsome face. What the hell was that supposed to mean?
