Two nights later, Felise and I walked nervously towards the pack who were gathering around a roaring bonfire in the forest clearing. She wears a white long gown as part of the ritual. The white long gown exudes an elegant and timeless beauty. Its long and flowing dress accentuates her silhouette, highlighting her curves and grace. And the purity and simplicity of the white fabric enhance her natural beauty, creating a sense of femininity and sophistication. The rays of the moon's reflection on the fabric create a soft glow, accentuating the radiance of her skin and adding to her ethereal presence. On top of that, the pristine fabric flowing with her movements, gives her an aura of grace and elegance, while the long trail adds to her legal demeanor. What was more interesting about it is that I think I am falling in love with her. "Don't give me that kind of look, Ezra." Felise broke the profound thoughts that were running through my head. "I'm not looking at you, Felise." I defen
As the first light of dawn began to creep over the horizon, Felise and I made our way back to our respective homes, my heart overflowing with love and gratitude. My wolf just found something special, something rare and beautiful, and I must cherish it always. Day 1 The following night right after work and school, Felise and I was deep in the woods, surrounded by tall trees that reached up toward the dark sky. The moon was half full and bright, casting a silvery glow over the forest. It was the perfect night for a werewolf lesson. I had been a werewolf for years, and I was eager to teach Felise the basics of our kind. We stood in a small clearing, the grass soft beneath our feet. In our conversation, I began by explaining their abilities. "As a werewolf, we have incredible strength and speed," I said, flexing my muscles to demonstrate. "We can run faster than any human, and our senses are heightened. We can see in the dark, and our sense of smell is incredibly power
"She'd be out in a few minutes," I said with a smile on my face, believing Razel stopped by to confront Felise about the training. His unexpected appearance in front of Felise's house could have told me a few reasons. It's either he did not believe me about helping Felise with her wolf so he visited to confront her about it. Or to stop her from seeing me because instead of the address I sent her for the meet-up, he went straight to Felise's house. But I cannot blame my stepbrother to think that way. After all, Felise is his everything. His first and last girlfriend. The love of his life. The reason he breathe and woke up every morning. And the light in his darkness. Three minutes later, Razel and I found Felise sneaking out of the house. I was about to greet her but my stepbrother preceded me. He even blocked my chest, his gesture to leave it to him. As the big brother, I swallowed my pride and let him greet his girlfriend. After all, I am the only one who turned
"Is that even a yes?" Razel clarified, even looking me in the eye to see my reaction, not that he wanted to make me feel jealous, but he was a hundred percent curious or confused. But because my helpless brain has no idea what they were talking about, I simply lifted the tip of my shoulders toward my stepbrother. "Let me think about it first, Razel," Felise said, her voice sounding unsure and disinterested. "I'm so sleepy. Can I get back to you by tomorrow?" "But tomorrow night is the day of the Grand Ball." Razel insisted, his tone even sounded forceful. "You heard her, Razel." I cut in. "Of all the people who must understand her current situation, must be us. She went through a lot earlier." then I shrugged and dragged him out of Felise's apartment. "But-" he blurted. "Let go of me, Ezra. I am not yet done talking to Felise." "Let her rest, you moron!" I brotherly exclaimed. "You'll not get your answer if you insist on someone who's not willing to talk ab
Most of the students, including Razel followed us outside, but Felise and I already shifted into wolves and run as far away from the ballroom as fast as possible. In the middle of our running, I began talking to Felise in a calm and soothing voice, helping her to focus on her breathing and stay calm. Minute by minute, Felise began to regain control over her wolf. Her urge to run and hide began to fade away, but we continued running to make sure no one could follow us. On top of that, I could not feel her overflowing rage compared to earlier. She then glanced at me with gratitude in her eyes, knowing that I just saved her ass from an undesirable and dangerous situation. "Thank you, Ezra," she uttered, her voice static. "I should be the one thanking you, Felise." I humbly said back. "You made one of my dreams come true - to join the Grand Ball for the first time." Who could have thought Felise needed to experience being humiliated before she could finally sh
"We're not yet done, Ezra," Razel said in a threatening tone. He even pointed a finger at me. "Better know your place. Felise and I are in a relationship. And you cannot change that." After letting out those words, Razel and his brothers evacuated the place right before Robert and his friends arrived. "Where is he?" Robert asked, his voice blazing in a fire. A threat next to a threat. That was how I can describe my wolf's current situation. My stepbrother just threatened me ten seconds ago, yet I believed another threat would come next. But, even if Razel treated me like shit earlier, he was still my stepbrother. And I am not going to sell my brother to them. So, I said, "Use your werewolf senses, Robert. Check every corner of the convenience store if I hide my brother inside." Robert bumped into my shoulder before he and his brothers went inside to see if I hide Razel. Idiots. What's the use of their werewolf senses if they cannot sense him despite the distance?
The worst part is that it was just the two of us in the middle of the woods. Our last encounter with a monster was with my stepbrother. If it was the same monster, I'm afraid there is only one solution for us to stay alive - to run as far away as possible and as fast as our wolves can. As I was about to reach Felise's hand, a huge black buffalo was making its way toward the deer, its predatory instincts activated. Felise looked at me in surprise, communicating with me silently. She knew what she must do. Felise prepared her claws and fangs, and with powerful yet graceful strides, she made her way toward the buffalo and deer. My wolf simply watched in awe as Felise approached the two wild animals. That this was dangerous - both animals were much larger than Felise in her wolf form. But I can see that she seemed fearless, slipping between the two creatures and outmaneuvering them. Soon enough, the deer and buffalo's heads were hers, and she proudly carried them bac
The next day, I wanted to ensure that everything would go smoothly, so I brought something for Felise to protect herself if my wolf cannot. Something that even an alpha cannot endure. "Are you sure you are going to do this? I mean, our situation was most likely similar in that we are feeding our meat to an unwelcoming group of werewolves." I uttered, trying to scare Felise for her to back out. Felise and I were occupying a rented car that was parked in front of the convenience store. She was seated next to me in the driver's seat. And I could not deny the fact that part of me wanted to go alone. That was why I tried to convince her not to go while she still has the chance. Once the engine of the car started, there will be no hopping off. Our next hopping off is when we reached the village of my old pack. "Don't worry about me, Ezra," Felise said, her voice sounding with enough confidence. "And besides, you already taught me the basics of being a werewolf. I can even occasionally en
