“Maynard Yngvird!” It was the first time I’ve ever raised my voice to my brother and the next Alpha of our race.
I have always been watching him. I did not intend to stop any of his pranks when we were young. I respect him as an elder brother, my only blood related sibling. As we grow up, he may seem harsh in some way, especially his bad temper which he got from our father. It really runs in the blood I guess, for he knows that he will be the next Alpha in line, he has always been so proud of himself.
Despite having flaws in his character, he’s always been a wise leader, at an early age of fourteen he led the Mafias on the deadly mission that almost half of our men got injured. He single handedly faced those enemies and was able to turn the tables on our side.
It was then, everyone never said anything against him as the heir. Having it said, no one even dares say a word when he plays with those human girls. As an Alpha, finding a mate is important, the time he meets Luna will be a big part of the pack. Those flings are nothing, but a heated moment everyone has experienced.
But this…
Desiring a human girl?
“ Would you like to mate with me?” Mate? How can he offer this frail human such an important thing!
Without realizing, I almost broke the table as I punched it hard. The whole classroom focuses on us and this human girl that Maynard has been eyeing since the incident happened.
“Myrvinne, how dare you---” he gnarled on his breath, it is such a disrespect to his pride as Alpha for his Beta to act in such a way.
“Wait, you both cool down!” Irvin knowing the situation may leave into a fang fight between us if he did not intervene.
“There’s a limit on how much you can pull on a play like that.” I look at that frail being , fully shocked by what we are arguing about. “Maynard, I respect you more than you’ve known, and just this time I cannot tolerate this kind of foolishness” Never have I bear in mind that he would take this seriously.
“Who says I'm fooling around? What I decide to whom I mate, it doesn’t concern you.” Is he serious? My anger stills, however the intimidating presence as an Alpha is suppressing my inner wolf.
I am still someone underneath his wing, I could not utter another word of complaint as he oppressed me harder.
“My, my, these puppies better go away. Dog fights aren't good here with many humans”. Irritated, we all look at Madam Krieson, she is the only thing that would treat us werewolves as mere creatures.
“The younger Yngvidr is known for having a prime temper, but this time Alpha you have angered him.” continued to speak of our race, I know she’s using manipulation magic to alter the attention of the students right now.
“Even if you are an elder you can’t talk down to us!” Once again his temper got worse, it has never been better when it comes to dealing with that woman.
“Heed your anger young man, there's nothing to gain from letting your emotion take over your reasoning.” With this, his offensive wolf slowly calmed.
“You guys are weird”. All surprised at the sudden remark, this human girl has been listening all along with our conversation. Isn’t she affected by Krieson’s hypnotism?
“Please, leave me alone Mr. Yngvidr, I have no intention to even have myself acquainted with you.” Her determined words leave us all speechless.
The great Maynard Yngvidr has been rejected.
“Listen, I really apologize for the incident at the cafeteria, only that… Kindly ignore me and never bother anymore.” her gaze lowers and shows sincerity. She may be a human that our race is avoiding, but her etiquette and the way she delivers her apology is no lie at all.
Her personality is way better than this i'll tempered Alpha. He doesn't deserve such a good girl like this one.
Looking at my brother, I know that his pride as a superior has been hurt. How will the high and mighty Maynard Yngvidr accept the rejection of this mere human? On second thought, it must be for the better, it will be hard for us and the pack to deal with such a taboo.
History cannot repeat itself.
“I am just merely asking you for companionship, how can you heartlessly reject such a rare proposal?” This man! Still hasn’t let go of his passing desire for this human girl?
“Mister, please don’t bother me and just think nothing happens like this. I think it will be better, there’s a lot more girls around the campus that’ll suit your taste and will accept that great proposal you’ve been offering.” As she flatly refused for the second time, a clever smile that has no fear nor offense showed. A rare human who’s not even affected by the charm that Maynard has been excreting since we came in.
“Oh you’re so interesting, I didn't think you would refuse him that much.” Krieson, who was expectating smiled wide at the human girl, then turned to us, “You’ve heard her, don’t bother.” smiling that shows success in refuting us.
“Any normal person would do that.” I was about to laugh at it, even Irvin covered his mouth. Guess that, there ‘ll be no problem dealing with her. The problem is with this werewolf who wouldn’t even let go.
“Seriously, I may not be able to persuade you at first, maybe next time?” He still hasn’t given up.
“Like I said, I don’t intend to meet you again and if we ever cross paths, please just ignore me.” a sarcastic smile returned to the persistent Alpha. This human has a knack for it.
As I’ve said all I want, immediately, to escape this awkward situation, not waiting for another persistence from this shameless man in front of me. Grabbing my backpack I stood up and bid farewell to Faera. Ignoring the trio, I go half walking-running out of the classroom. Maynard called out to me but I continued to go on my way. As I escaped the building, seeing the time, I still had enough time before my part time starts so I then decided to take the next bus. Since it's Thursday, I expect the store must be busy and I planned to clock in early just in case they needed extra help.
“I don’t get what you mean ma’am, can you please elaborate? What does it have to do with my shift being removed?” I am flustered and agitated over these ridiculous things I’ve been hearing from the regional manager. Favoritism? Me? “As I’ve said, the late manager dotes on you giving more schedule than the other regulars that I’ve received a few reports on already.” Then she looked at the staff who’s sitting with us, as if urging her to talk, she got the signal and spoke. “The truth is, the other regulars are complaining about the distribution of schedule. It seems you get more regular shifts than most of the others.”
To cool down my head, walking with no destination in mind, I ended up in Summer street, a popular area with new establishments built in the city. It’s just a ten minute walk from 14th Street. This is the first time I’ve been here for a walk and I am not familiar with this area. Maybe coming here to have a breather is a good change of pace. Since it's a new spot in the city, a lot of people are walking side by side. Office workers, students, families with their children and even old people hang around. As I felt a bit tired from walking, I looked for a place to settle in and have a break, maybe to eat as well as I felt the crumbling of my stomach. What caught my attention was a cafe with “Pisces and Gem” signage , since I'm a Pisces I immediately entered the cafe. It
At the center of Manador City, where the most powerful live, the richest, politicians, the influentials , mafias and the kins. The strive of power has been tight and competitive, if you let your guard off just a blink of an eye, you may lose everything you got. For the 21st century, a lot of new lines of wealth have occurred and different ways and family alliances have been formed. Humans evolve and accumulate knowledge that continues to grow in order to reach the highest ladder. The one who’s at top and all those who’s striving were looking up, is the Imperial International Corporation, it has been said that the consortium has been existing in the me
The gentleman has finished wrapping my twisted foot with the bandage. “I have applied for first aid, but it is still better to check it in the hospital.” I watch him as he packs the bondages and pain killer back into the box. “Thank you for this Sir, I appreciate this.” Then he offered me the frappe and cake that I had ordered. It was left there by the staff earlier and she never came back after delivering the first aid kit to us. "By the way, what were you looking at earlier.'' The sudden question made me loo
I haven't slept that much after my encounter with Mr. Edelgard, the last words he spoke of keeps on ringing in my head. "Until we meet again Miss Barrett." The way he looked at me with those misty greyish eyes, and those long lashes that fluttered. Along with his pretty smile that shows he really enjoyed being with me at that time. I felt that my cheeks got hot so I tried to feel it with my palms to check if I have a fever or it's just normal. Weird. Our meeting was a mess, I sprained my ankle, he bondaged, rode his car, went to the hospital, dropped me home. There's nothing enjoyable about that as far as I remember. Or maybe… He's one of those people who like seeing other
“What are you doing here Faera?” I am surprised that she was already seated with us and on top of it, eating the dishes from the cafeteria. I’ve known her to only eat at restaurants but right now she is digging the pasta in front of her. “That is why I am asking you, you are not welcome here.” The pair of deadly gaze was thrown to her and so Barrett held onto Faera and whispered, “Hey, is this fine? I don’t know why and how, but somehow I can’t escape.” “Haha Barrett you are so cute, you definitely look like prey caught by these carnivores!” Without minding anything, the three men at the table have grim faces. I know that the relationship between the Yngvidrs and her is already not good, but somehow, her last remarks made the three men look at her intently. It is threatening.
The large silver gate with the insignia of the wolf and two cross swords at the center opened, several black cars entered the Wereville Village, the long road passed the lively lights and the loud people. Luxury defines the village itself, from townhouses, condominiums and branded establishments you may think that this place is one of the central districts of the city. As the drive continues, from the view of modernity switches to a quiet wood path that is not that much known from the passersby. The heart of this forest pathlike is the main Mansion of the Yngvirds. Hidden from the eyes of the villagers, enclosed with the steel gate guarded by the armed men. Behind those high gates reveals the large open field where the wolves run free and exercise their run, the scale stature clearly gives the growing view of the white mansion as they near it.
