"Poor little wolf," Mr. James uttered. "All your plans failed. Everyone around you died because you encourage them to be part of your vision. With just one stab of my claw straight into your heart, there is no way you could survive. But there is no fun if I do that to you." He shifted back to his human form, and with a sadistic grin, he cruelly taunted me, relishing in his superiority. He unleashed a barrage of punches to my battered face, blood spewing from my mouth with each blow. The agony intensified, yet he continued to laugh, finding pleasure in my suffering. "How does it feel, huh, Melvin?" he continued. "Does it hurt? How about removing your fingers one by one? That would be music to my ears." But amidst this relentless assault, a spark refused to extinguish within me. Determination ignited a fierce resolve upon seeing the clouds from the sky as they started to get darkened. Lightning and thunders began to emerge in the sky. And the cold wind blows straight to
In the cold and benign twilight in the middle of the woods, my circle of so-called friends, mostly my classmates, and I were having a bonfire nearby the sea. The plan is to grab some bottles of beer, have a few encouraging talks, and to get unwind. At first, I already declined the invitation when aside from the fact that my wolf hates being surrounded by more than five humans, I still have my work as one of the werewolf guardians of the Moonlight Shadow pack. My job as one of the werewolf guardians is to keep an eye on the city I got entrusted to, maintain peace and order, and keep records of our daily reports before delivering the cases to our alpha pack once every end of the month or earlier if necessary. Our jobs were most likely similar to the cops who keep roaming around day and night, but the only difference is that we are not after human crimes but with supernatural beings like vampires, witches, and werewolves. We don't use guns or handcuffs as well, but shar
Her screams dominated the utter silence of the woods because of too much pain. This time, it is not me who let go of the grip but her. I tried to catch her hands again but my wolf is already too late. She falls into the cliff which I believe is about fifteen meters deep. When I was about to follow her, Julian and Jelian grabbed my body and throws me away from the edge of the cliff. "Are you fucking insane, Melvin?" Jelian yells at me. "you want to die with that woman?" "I'm trying to save her!" exclaims my wolf with utter helplessness. "And I can't forgive myself if she dies out there. That's not me, Jelian. Of all the wolves who know me better should be you and Julian." I dropped my butt on the ground and guilt started dominating my entire werewolf system. Karen's impulsive death could have been avoided if my wolf is strong enough. Why am I still weak until now? How am I supposed to explain to the alpha that my wolf has slaughtered an innocent human? There's
"Yeah. Isn't that enough for you to leave Karen alone?" asks one of Karen's female friends. I looked Karen in the eye for two seconds and remembered what happened behind the door that scares her - my glowing eyes. "No. I am more concerned about Karen's well-being." I insisted. "Karen, please, take a pick. Should I tell them about what exactly happened that night? Or about what was going on with you for the past few days?" To everyone's surprise, Karen flashed out of her seat at the speed of light and pinned me on the chalkboard. She wrapped her hands around my neck and growled. "Fine!" she growls. "Let's talk outside." then, she kicked me out of the room by force. And I was referring to the other side of her. All our classmates did not follow us outside. Instead, they remained in their seats and were stunned and dumbfounded when they couldn't believe Karen could do such a brutal response. Before Karen could do a stupid mistake, I pinned her on the wall
My wolf was in high spirits upon hearing straight from Alpha Draku's mouth that I got a second chance to stay with the pack but the condition was somehow unreasonable and oppressive. Knowing that Karen is back on her feet made me convinced that my wolf no longer needs to feel remorseful after the terrible and unforgettable incident. But killing her is completely beyond my feeble imagination, conscience, and morals. That's not me in the first place. "And if I decline?" I raise the question, not because there was this tiny part of me who considered killing her but because I want to know the consequences that are bound to happen to my wolf sooner or later. Julian and Jelian simply pointed their sharp eyes at me while waiting for Alpha Draku to respond. However, looking at them in the eye, especially Jelian, who is supposed to be my fated mate only reminded me of their betrayal. "If you cannot do it, Alpha Draku will assign me and Julian to do the job. And your
Before I could say a word to Karen, I dashed to the corner where Jelian and Julian are sitting. Then, I dragged them out of the room by force. My wolf did not even care what my classmates would think and say to me aa soon as I got back. What matters to me is to stop Jealian and Julian from doing whatever they are trying to do. They come into our school, wearing our school uniforms, and choose our course among the rest. As far as I know, the two have a better future studying in an expensive school. "What are you two doing?" I furiously asked both of them before letting go of my grip on their hands. "Don't tell me you're blind now?" Jelian retorted. "Isn't it obvious? We're studying in the same school as you now. Why? Is the school prohibits transfer students from enrolling here?" Jelian suddenly slides closer to me and crosses her arms with mine. But I refuse to make skin contact with her. Or any of them. Not anymore. After stabbing me behind my back, I alre
It seems that my world started falling apart when the sounds of the clock ticking reached my ears while waiting for Karen to open her mouth. Once she discloses my identity, I'm afraid that will be the end of my time. Karen was a very influential student in the school. Everything she says makes sense to everyone. "Karen, Can I talk with you for a sec?" I asked her before she could say a thing to them. "Come on, dude, we are in the middle of discussing something very important." annoyingly says one of Karen's friends. "Have some manners, can't you?" That statement put my wolf into an undesirable situation when it was not just Karen and her circle of friends looking at me viciously, but most students with us in the library. I already caused enough disturbance when I drop the book onto the floor earlier. So, before anyone could throw something to my face, I grab Karen's hand and drag her to the corner behind a towering shelf where no one can see or hear us.
Leaving no choice, I search for an empty but bigger table that can cater to their number before I could get a yelling from our ruthless manager. She already gives me a warning for being late on my first day of work. I need this job as it was way better compared to being a librarian. Working in the restaurant not only gives me a reasonable paycheck but also allows us to bring home leftover food. Getting leftovers, most if not all, nights could help me minimize spending dough for my dinner, or if given the chance, my breakfast could also be saved by that. "Can I have your orders now?" I respectfully asked them. And of course, with a smile on my face. "Can you just wait for us to call you?" Julian furiously said back on everyone's behalf, including Karen. "we got seated here like for three minutes." Part of me wanted to drop the order sheet to the table and stab the pen I was holding straight into Julian's eyes when my patience is getting thin already. If
