After looking around for a while, I decided to let go of everything and go back inside to see how Sony was fairing. The scent of intruders still lingered, but it didn't seem like they would do anything bad. I was only left wondering if those people would go and harm my dad and granddad; thus, I turned and hurried down the dimly lit hallway and entered my office.I dialed my dad's number, which I had saved in the favorite section, and waited impatiently until it started ringing. Luckily, I didn't have to wait much because he picked up after the second ring."Maseno, do you know what time it is?" He answered the call, his voice full of concern and fatigue. I could hear the exhaustion in his voice, reminding me that it was late at night. Despite this, I couldn't help but blurt out my worries about the intruders. "There are intruders in my territory." I quickly explained the situation to him, describing the scents and the darting figures blending with the darkness."Oh, god. Are we unde

“How do you feel now, Sony?“ I asked as I walked back into the room. Sony was no longer in pain because he was now lying on his back and staring at the ceiling. I watched his facial expressions and smiled at how relaxed he looked. He looked as if calmness had washed all over his body.My eyes roamed around, but I didn't find Doctor Kedeva anywhere, so I guessed that he had stepped out and gone back to his room after he was done taking care of Sony. I had told my dad about the suspicion I held about him, and he advised that I shouldn't jump to conclusions but conduct an investigation instead.He advised me that my friendship with him would fall apart if what I had suspected him of turned out to be false. I really hoped that he wouldn't turn out to be a traitor, because I really don't know what I'll do. He is my best friend after all, and he was supposed to look out for me as I did for him.“Much better. Where were you?“ Sony's calm voice jarred my thoughts. I quickly snapped back into

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

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

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."
