The boys walked into the woods, just as Noah had told them to. They weren’t sure where they were going; they just kept walking, using their great sense of smell. “Isn’t he supposed to show up now? Before we keep going deeper and deeper?” Fighter asked, and Derek shrugged. “He is the almighty Alpha, right? He should be able to find us. If he doesn’t come to us today, we know he isn’t the one we should look up to at all,” Derek responded, and Fighter nodded in agreement.Noah sprang to his feet immediately as he perceived and sensed Derek from afar. Pricilla furrowed her brows at him, wondering why he did that. “Are you fine?” she asked worriedly. “He is in the woods,” Noah uttered, wearing his shoes. “Who is in the woods? Collins?” she further inquired, and he shook his head. “Derek… I’m sure he is in the woods because he is here to join us. I need to get to him now,” Noah told her, and before she could say more, he was out of the house already.Enoch was around the house, choppi
“So… we’re a couple now?” Maggie asked Fighter, and he smiled, nodding reluctantly.“We just confessed how we feel about each other and even ended it with an amazing kiss. I think that should be the beginning of something,” Fighter responded, and Maggie looked—and felt—so happy.She had never been happier her whole life. She finally got what she wanted.“I’m so happy. I’m so happy you’re giving us a chance,” Maggie said, holding his hand and staring at it.“I’m happy that you’re mine,” he responded, and suddenly, his phone vibrated.“Can I check that?” he asked, and Maggie smiled.“Of course you can. This is a relationship, not an invisible prison,” she stated, and Fighter laughed.He pulled out his phone to check the message. It happened to be from Derek.“Hey!! It’s been three hours. Are you alive??” he read silently and smiled widely, making Maggie smile too.“It’s Derek,” Fighter told her, and Maggie giggled, giving Fighter gentle strokes on his hair.“I guessed he’d be the one. H
Fighter got to Maggie’s house and felt so nervous when he reached her doorstep. “What if her parents are at home? How didn’t I think about that before?” he thought.He breathed in and out heavily and then moved his hand to knock on the door when it suddenly opened, making him startle.It was Maggie.“Hey… Maggie, hi…” he stammered, and she smiled, staring at him. “I saw you coming before you even got to the house. Come in,” she said, leaving the door open and walking in. He nodded and followed. His anxiety reduced because she smiled at him.“That is a good sign, I guess.”He thought his stopping point was the living room, but Maggie kept walking until she got to her room. It was his first time entering her room.“Welcome to my small palace,” she said, turning around in the middle of her room. He smiled softly, looking at the room. It was painted blue, had blue and white sheets, and most of her things were in blue and white. It was a very beautiful combination.“It is truly a small p
Jolie walked home filled with so much happiness. She had always wanted to talk to Fighter but hadn’t been able to summon the courage until now. She had always admired his beauty from afar—his silent nature—and that made her like him even more.She got home, pulled out her key from her bag, and opened the door. She walked in, and immediately she stepped inside the house, she noticed something odd, causing her to slow down.She furrowed her brows and kept mute, staring at the living room like it was a stranger’s house.“Someone is in this place,” she thought, still not moving. She didn’t want to rush things, but she needed to be sure what was going on.“Who the hell is in here?” she asked and kept quiet, trying to listen for another sound. Then she began to hear footsteps approaching her.She rushed to the kitchen table that was in the living room and pulled out a knife from her cutlery drawer.“Who the hell are you? Show yourself!” she spat, holding the knife forward.“Come on, little
Lunch TimeDerek, Maggie, and Ashley walked out of the class and were heading to Fighter’s class when they saw him walk out of his.“Almost on time,” Derek said proudly, and before anyone could say anything else, a girl followed behind him.They were chatting, and all who watched him narrowed their gaze.“Who is that with him?” Maggie asked.Derek and Ashley shrugged their shoulders.“He must have made a new friend. I haven’t seen him with anyone from his class before,” Ashley said, and Derek nodded in agreement.“Me too,” he said, and they kept mute as they got closer to them.“You are always on time,” Derek said, and Fighter smiled.Maggie kept her eyes on the new girl—she looked very beautiful.“This is Jolie. Jolie, these are my very good friends… Derek, Ashley, and Maggie,” Fighter introduced, smiling.“Nice meeting you,” Jolie said, shaking all of them, and they all greeted her properly.“We should head to the restaurant. We’ll keep up the introduction as we go. I’m starving,” A
At SchoolDerek, Fighter, Ashley, and Maggie walked into the school premises, and all eyes were on them.“After a week of staying away to avoid things like this, we still come back to meet it,” Maggie muttered as they walked down the hallway. They couldn’t help but draw attention to themselves.“All we have to do is ignore them, okay?” Derek stated, and they all nodded—except Ashley, who kept her head held high. At that point, she didn’t care what people said anymore. All she wanted was to learn and go back home.They kept walking, and just before Fighter was to head to his class, his eyes locked with the two boys whose friend he had killed. Their eyes widened, and they began whispering to each other.Fighter became uncomfortable. He feared they might expose his secret, and that everyone in school would come after him.“Derek,” he whispered, and Derek looked at him. Fighter subtly motioned toward the boys with his eyes, and Derek stared at them with a straight face. He already knew wh
