A continuous ringing sound made me jolt out of bed to see what was going on. Because I hadn't taken the quilt off me when I sprung out, I tripped on it, landed on my rear end, and rolled on the cold and hard floor before knocking on the table beside the bed.I forced myself to sit, rubbing and scratching the areas that ached most. "What the hell was that?" I asked myself, my eyes roaming around, looking for the source of that noise.I caught sight of the white bedside clock that was still ringing loudly and buzzing around as an effect of its own vibration. I cursed, pulled myself to my feet, and walked to it.With anger surging through me, I grabbed it and smashed it against the wall. It stopped ringing the moment it made contact with the wall and fell, breaking into a million tiny pieces. Silence returned to the room, and I took a deep breath to calm myself down.My eyes caught sight of the black quilt still lying on the ground. I scooped it with my leg and angrily threw it back on th
“What the hell, dude?“ I walked to the couch where Beta Kelvin was sitting and grabbed him by the collar. My anger boiled over as I confronted him, unable to contain my frustration any longer. I needed answers for what he had come looking for in my kingdom.I and he are not friends, and I doubt if we will ever be. The only thing that was running through my mind at that moment was that his asshole of an Alpha had sent him to come and provoke me because, after all, they loved picking fights.“Relax Maseno. Since when did I try to hurt you? I have been telling you for so many years now that I am nothing like my Alpha, but you don't believe me, do you?“ He gritted his teeth in anger, stood, and dusted the collars of his shirt.I couldn't help but roll my eyes at his words. It was always the same excuse, trying to distance himself from his stupid Alpha's actions. But actions spoke louder than words, and I had seen enough of their pack's behavior to know better.“And why do you expect me to
I lay on the ground, feeling every part of my body aching. I now understood and saw why my boss, Alpha Benna, often called Maseno the son of the devil. He had just delivered a blow that felt like it came straight from hell itself. I struggled to catch my breath, praying inwardly that he'd let go of me. I always expected that when he got angry, he would change, like all werewolves. I had hope that his nails would change to claw-like structures, his canines would elongate to sharp fangs, and his skin would be covered by fur, a golden fur, because he was an Alpha, but what I saw in him was totally different. When he growled at me the moment I said that Sony was my type, I started seeing those changes, and I immediately knew that I had crossed the line. I really wished that I had stuck with what had brought me there, but I guess it was finally my day to pay for my nosy behavior. The sides of his eyes, which crickle when someone laughs or smiles, cracked up, drawing root-like veins all
“What the hell was that for?“ I asked, my voice softening when I saw it was Sony who had kicked me. He rolled his eyes at me instead of being sorry. That was one hell of a kick because it almost broke my ribs. "Sony, aren't I talking to you?" I asked when he grabbed his phone and started laughing at whatever he had seen instead of responding to me.“That was enough. Do you want to kill him?“ He glared at me and went to sit on the couch.I sighed and followed him behind. "Was the kick necessary?" I inquired, hoping for an explanation or apology. I wasn't angry with him, though; I just wanted his attention. The hell he was reading on his phone that made him ignore me!“We are getting late for the meeting." He said this instead of answering my question, obviously trying to ditch the conversation I was trying to have with him. "You hate tardiness; have you forgotten?" He raised his brow and laughed again at whatever he was reading.I ran my fingers through my hair and heaved. It seemed li
After breakfast, I went to Dr. Maria's office. I had been dying to know why she wanted to see me after such a long time; thus, my long and lean legs took me to her office in just a minute.I didn't knock. I just barged in because I knew she wouldn't have any problem with it, but to my surprise, she was nowhere to be found. I pulled out my phone from my pocket and made a phone call to her, but it was never received.I left so many messages asking her if she had changed her mind because I was late when she wanted me to her office, but they were never answered, even though it clearly showed that they were read.Letting out a deep breath, I paced around, sitting on the couch, eating the juicy apples on the table, and watching some movies on my phone, but she still never arrived."Doesn't she have friends? She must be out hanging with them. There is no need to work your brain out thinking about this." My wolf, Raika, said this from the back of my head.I nodded and said, "Right, friends."
My heart skipped a beat when a knock echoed at the door. I took a while to respond because the one thought that came to my head and drained my energy was when I thought it was the libarian. I stayed quite for a while, stopped rustling the papers I was holding in my hands, and waited for him to complain. That was the only way I would have been sure that it was him anyway.It went silent outside, just as I had gone silent inside. When the faint footsteps sounded to be fading away, I mustered the courage to ask whoever was out there to come in, although I hesitated a bit, unsure of whether to welcome the person in or not, just in case it was the librarian."Come in." I responded, my voice going deep. My voice turns deep whenever I am scared or nervous, and at the moment, I was clouded by both feelings.I held my breath, and my gaze stuck at the door to welcome whoever it was. The door creaked open slowly, revealing a short figure standing in the doorway. I sighed in relief. "At least it'
I walked to my office, guilty of what I had done to Kiara, hanging heavy on my head. I sighed, walked to my seat, and slumped on it, my legs crossed on the table.I stared at the blank computer screen, replaying the hurtful things I had done to her in my mind. The regret I was having was so heavy that it seemed to suffocate me, making it difficult to focus on anything else.My phone rang, but I lacked even the strength to pull it from my pocket and answer the call. The sound of the ringing phone only served as a painful reminder of the mess I had created. Each ring felt like a piercing cry Kiara had released while calling for help for my already burdened conscience."The call might be important." My conscience tried to talk me into answering the call."Damn you, conscience. I am trying to get a grip on myself." I yelled back and then laughed out loud like a maniac when I realized what I had done. "Good, I am now arguing with my conscience."I streched my hand to pull out the phone, bu
I shook my head and glared hard at Dr. Kedeva, not believing that he had the guts to lie on my face given the fact that he sucked at doing it. He thought that I wasn't aware that he and the librarian had sent shadows after Kiara, something I had known since last week.“Foolish.“ I mutered under my breath and leaned on the chair's backrest to relax my back. The kick Alpha Maseno had given me when I was about to pass out had left a bruise that ached like there was no other day when I sat upright for too long.“Did you say something, Kelvin?“ He tore his gaze from the phone in his hands and faced me in question.“Why are you naked?“ I smirked instead and let my gaze linger all over his body.“I wasn't. I just tore my clothes into pieces.“ He waved his hand in the air, then rolled his eyes as a way of not wanting to talk about it.“Why did you tear them? Don't tell me you knew I was coming, and that's why you did this." I raised my brow suggestively, wanting to tease him.He chuckled and
