"This changes everything, Ethan," he murmured softly. "We might stand a chance against the witches if we unite our forces." Despite that my wolf still hadn't gotten the picture of his plan, I nodded in agreement, feeling a newfound sense of hope coursing through my veins. "Then we must get this done, Hunter," Aiden replied on my behalf. "The entire city has been hunted by the witches. It was them who are behind this madness." "Count me in," Conrad seconded, "Even if I don't have anything about magic spells or my wolf being the weakest in this group, I will help you with all I could have." "By the way, who are you people?" I could not help but ask those two werewolves Hunter Grey brought with him. They barely open their mouths as soon as they appeared in the bunker. And if I am not mistaken, they are not Hunter's friends or part of his pack. However, my instinct tells me that they were twins or siblings when they did not just have the same physical appearance b
One of the oldest traditions of being part of an undefeated Rugby team involves the building of a bonfire by students to be burnt before the annual game. However, instead of the bonfire being done within the school's property, the majority of the players and supporters agreed to have it done outside the campus for the first time. This time, we built the bonfire in the middle of nowhere in between a dense woodland where we could play hide and seek, and a wide blue ocean where we could go for a swim at any time. My name is Ethan Park. Twenty-six years old. I am no longer a member or player of this undefeated Rugby team, but my eighteen-year-old brother, Aiden is, as one of the hard full-backs. And in a few hours, we are about to celebrate Aiden's eighteenth birthday. I already prepared something special and expensive for him but I did not bring it with me to the camping. My wolf wants to surprise him alone. He and his friends invited me, no, they forced me to
Lilith and Mark immediately grabbed Aiden's fur before his wolf could fall into the cliff along with Penelope. Because he can no longer retrieve Penelope's body, he continuously growls his disappointment and dismay afterward. "Are you two fucking kidding me?" Lilith furiously asked. "The two of you are willing to risk your wolf's lives for that one woman?" "We simply want to save her, Lilith!" I was not supposed to yell at her but I could not help it anymore. "Among the wolves who know me better must have been you and Mark. And you two simply stare at me giving my all to help her." I don't want to argue with them anymore so I drag Aiden out of the place before he could run away and do something worse than bump into me. As soon as the phase of the full moon began to culminate, Aiden's body also started to get back to normal. "It's my fault she falls into the cliff," he uttered, so I let go of my grip from the back of his neck. "What if she dies, Ethan? How am I supposed to live w
On my way back to the apartment, the continuous tears that were poured from my eyes left marks and traces on the ground. I may look tough back there but deep inside me was a ripping heart apart. And I can't stop my tears from flooding my face. No matter how hard I try to understand where I did wrong, my wolf's brain could not think of one. I believe that Lilith and I were in the middle of being intimate. We even blab about settling down because aside from that both of us are already at the right age, we have permanent jobs to support our dreams. But why did Lilith and Mark betray me? Kissing her in front of me was completely ridiculous. Of all the male wolves she can have an affair with, why my best friend? After a few hours of walking on foot, I helplessly drop my body to the mattress, staring at the ceiling while carrying the emptiness of my heart and brain. The worst part is that my empty heart and brain were disconcerted about which of the three unbearable problems must I a
My eyes try to avoid the shadows of Mark's and Lilith's peek while Alpha Ezekiel spells out those words. Even if I was not looking back at them, however, their piercing glance foreshadowed and managed to break the invisible wall that divides us in the tiny space of my apartment. It's not their face that my eyes are imagining but their unforgivable and injustice betrayal. And it was boiling my blood pressure to the point that I could not help myself from gritting my teeth and clenching my fist. Whatever Mark and Lilith confessed to Alpha Ezekiel, it probably does not involve them having an affair behind my back. Or worse he might already know about it but he refrains to bring that up since it is none of his business. "And if I decline your proposal?" I throw the question back to him. Killing Penelope Garcia is not a hard thing to do for a werewolf like me. It's the conscience that is hard to accept. Aiden and I are already foreseeing nightmares within those n
Thirty minutes later, my wolf dropped its body on the floor as soon as I reach the door of my apartment, not because I got exhausted but because my blood was almost drained after getting hit by an arrow. "Ethan, what happened?" Aiden grabs my hands and drags me inside. He was startled upon seeing the blood coming out of my left chest where the arrow was sunk into. He began pouring his tears and whimpering while looking at me laying on the bed. Then I lifted half of my body when my brain started to feel the room spinning. "Get me an alcohol and a cloth," I ordered him in a faint tone, ignoring his childish expression. "What?" he asks for clarity. Perhaps he did not get the chance to hear my voice when I can't even hear it myself. So, I yelled at him to get me two things. We don't keep any antiseptic disinfectant in the apartment so he provided me with a bottle of vodka instead. After taking a sip of the vodka, I sink my teeth into the cloth and put pressure on
Romulo stops talking when the phone in my pocket tickled my balls. I pull out the phone without moving my eyes away from him. "Did you manage to break into school?" I shortly remove the phone from my ear and studied the screen for two seconds. It was Aiden voice but he was using someone's digits. "No, I'm so sorry, Aiden." I uttered back while trading into "They already fixed the fence." "And it was electrocuted, Brother Ethan." Aiden pointed out the reason. "What are we going to do? I heard Karen with her friends discussing about this party in her parent's mansion on the weekend." "We better talk about this back to the apartment, Aiden." I have to end the conversation before he could say something about Karen, not in front of someone who knows a lot about us. "You did great today, Aiden." "I can truly understand if you cannot give me the answer to my proposal right now, Ethan." he added. "after all, you still don't know anything about me. But you can dig some
"Penelope, wait!" I yell at her when she runs fast as though a furious dog or cops are chasing her. As soon as she reaches the main road, she waves her hands to those cabs passing her until someone's car from a distance is flashing at the speed of light heading in her direction without her knowing. Perhaps the driver of the car did not notice Penelope being in the middle of the road. Let alone her height is hidden by the cars next to her. Considering I saw the car with no signs of stopping, I flash to her and drag her back to the corner of the road before the car hits her. We stumbled a few times which resulted in bars of chocolates and other feminine stuff she grabs from the store scattered on the ground. "If the two of you plan to die, better do it without bothering anyone!" yells the driver who almost hits Penelope. "Jump off the bridge. That's a good idea." he even suggested that. "Go to hell, you son of a bitch!" I scoffed at him in disbelief when he did
