"Okay, Ethan... do something!" Aiden suggested while holding onto my shoulder behind me similar to Penelope. Their racing heartbeats even increase the level of tension that my wolf feels inside which makes me have a hard time getting and creating a new idea. "Ethan... they're coming!?!" he added. "I can see them too, okay?" I said back upon seeing ten of those hungry and furious wolves in front of us started to approach our spots. "Enough!" someone's familiar voice suddenly echoed in my ears. When I followed the source of the sound, I found Lilith and Mark standing calmly behind the rest of the wolves. The ten wolves then step a few steps back away from us, allowing my eyes to see Lilith and Mark as clear as day. And it happens that I was not looking into her eyes but at her stomach, behind those garments. I can hear tiny heartbeats inside her stomach and sensed a new life inside it. At first, my wolf was feeling skeptical about the thought because as f
Aiden and I tried to stop Penelope but her decision was already irrevocable. She fell for it. Even though I agreed with her about me hating the idea of being degraded, fighting against Lilith was a bad idea. Lilith can kill Penelope before she could lay even the tip of her finger on her. Needless to say, she still has no access to her wolf abilities. How can she fight against Lilith's wolf? Fist fight? Slapping? Pulling of hair? Those kinds of fights were only for humans. It does not work for the wolves. We fight claws against claws and fangs against fangs. "Good," Ezekiel said. "How about you, Lilith?" "I love to leave my claw marks on her gorgeous face, Alpha Ezekiel." Lilith eagerly breathed out. "Tell us the rules of this battle now." Despite our profound skepticism, Ezekiel did not waste more seconds as he announced the written rules of his mano-to-mano fight. It was a fight against claws and fangs. A do or die. On top of Ezekiel's written rules, Aid
"Those bastards must be killed!" Yells Mark before he shifts into a wolf and flashes in our direction with his claws and fangs ready to get stained with our blood. My wolf was about to jump on top of Mark but was preceded by Ezekiel's deafening growl. His sharp and terrifying growl did not just glue our feet on the ground but also tremble every fiber of our muscles, forcing our wolves to shift back into our human forms. "ENOUGH!" yells Ezekiel before he slides closer to Lilith and took a sniff at her current condition. Lilith barely moves but I can still hear her soft heartbeats and the heartbeats of the baby inside her. "As I said, Penelope wins against Lilith, Ezekiel. A deal is a deal. Don't let your pack members see how irresponsible alpha you are in your own written rules. You break your own rules, and it's completely unacceptable." "Fine," Ezekiel uttered, then he ordered everyone to clear the area. "What does your alpha wants from me?" After I delive
Don't know where she got those ideas, but my instinct is telling me that Aiden has something to do with it. He might have told Penelope about everything he feels. Not that I hate the idea, but my wolf was hoping Aiden had delivered the right words. The kind of words that could not hurt him in the end because everything he does will get back to him. He was the only one who has feelings for Penelope. In the end, whatever he will say or do, it will affect him. And I don't want to see him suffer or get hurt by the end of the day. "I'm fine, really." I uttered. "just focus on helping my brother, Penelope. He needs more help these days compared to me. And regarding his game, I might need your help with that. You already know how awful my situation in the school is." "Tell me what you need me to do, Ethan," Penelope offered back. "I already proposed to you about this. And the offer still stands for you." That was a bit embarrassing but I have to swallow my pride. I a
"Thank you," I broke my lips and turn them into a smile before I slide to the corner. "Is this Ethan Parker?" the voice of a woman immediately resounded in my ears the second someone answered my call. Then I remove the phone from my ear and studied the digits. My brain could barely remember anyone in my logs who owned the digits. Even though I already found a new pack, I did not get the chance to remove or delete all the unnecessary contact persons saved in my phone. Mark and Lilith's digits can still be found in my contact list either. But getting a call from an unknown digit reminded me to do that, for God's sake. For my werewolf's sake, so I can finally move on. "Yes, this is Ethan Parker speaking. May I know who is on the other line of the phone, please?" "Thank goodness," she said. "I've been reaching out to you like a hundred times but your phone kept on connecting me to your mailbox. This is the owner of the apartment you are currently living in with your brother." "Yeah
My wolf did not get the chance to move on from Lilith's and Penelope's unexpected battle yet. However, it seems that their alpha, Ezekiel, was very serious about the deal he and our alpha sealed. For that same reason, he immediately sent Lilith, Mark, and some of her werewolf guardians to extend help. To be our eyes and ears for us on or before the annual game. Then I remembered Alpha Romulo once asked me if Ezekiel was interested in Penelope's wolf. Could that be the reason he sent his wolves to keep an eye on us? If I were him, my wolf could have ordered me to silently get their revenge after embarrassing their werewolf guardians right in front of their pack members. Let alone, I manage to seal a deal with their alpha as my wolf leaves him with no choice. While holding onto that thought, I continued scanning the four sides of the bench, searching for the rest of the werewolf hunters aside from what Lilith told me. "Do you want something to eat, Ethan?" ask
"Can you guys shut your mouth for a sec?" Lilith got irritated. Perhaps it has something to do with the tiny creature growing inside her womb. "We are already at the canteen. Better find Penelope and the rest of her friends as soon as possible." As soon as the door of the elevator opens, Mark and Lilith immediately hop out while my werewolf senses are tailing off Penelope's scent. Compared to the canteen on the second building, the one we are in was thrice bigger the size. "Find them." Mark proposed. "We'll find these werewolf hunters before we could call for backup." "Backup?" I clarified and debated. "They must not see me here, Mark. And you know that." "Whatever, Ethan." Mark said back. "You cannot blame us for that. We are simply doing our job as two of the security guards. And you know that of all people." Of course, I almost forgot. These two stabbed me behind my back. I already ended up everything my wolf has on them; best friend and mate. So there will
"Just act normal, okay? Take a deep breath. Let go of those thoughts regarding those dead bodies." I encouraged Penelope while holding her hand in heading to the game. "What if they will find who killed those hunters then?" Penelope could not hold onto her worries and fears, so she said it. "We are not part of Ezekiel's pack, remember? If this issue goes to the public, he has all the right to drag our names to it." "So, what do you suggest us to do then, huh?" I debated before I let go of her hand. "Threaten him because he built a school intended for the wolves? No, we can't do that." "I am not saying we have to threaten him, you moron." she insisted. "what I mean is that we should have a plan if things go the other way around. My wolf still doesn't trust Mark and Lilith. What if they will use the CCTV footage to corner us?" My wolf could not blame Penelope to think that way. She and Lilith still have an unresolved issue. Why didn't I consider that before I order
