I did not finish watching the entire scene so I slide to the bathroom and took a bath, then packed up for school. As soon as I stepped foot on the school's premises, my werewolf senses immediately searched for Simon's whereabouts. But instead of Simon, my senses first found Jackson and Karen walking in the hallway together. And I found it a bit odd when they don't usually walk together. So I was thinking about what happened last night. Perhaps they were talking about me doing the right thing letting go of Alex instead of killing him because that was what they believed at first until I confessed. "What's up guys? Did I miss something?" I shrugged them both and smiled. Karen smiled back. "We were just talking about stuff, Melvin. Don't worry, your best friend was not hitting on me. And just to be clear, he is not my type." Jackson contorted in disbelief, especially when he saw me staring at his face and could barely drop the ear-to-ear smile on my face. And I
The sun went down, and the rugby field became empty, but the three of us stayed there, lost in our own thoughts. I could not believe Alex and his friends would go that far to avenge Felix's death. He already knows that neither of us killed Felix. Yes, we played a huge part in his death because we kidnapped him. But it was not our intention to get him killed. And now they are aiming for Karen. Such perfect timing when I moved out of her condo. But what am I going to do? My wolf even knows how serious Alex and his vampire friends with their words are. Finally, I spoke up. "We have to be extra careful. The vampires are getting started." Jackson put his hand on my shoulder, "We'll find out who did this to Felix, and we'll make sure they face justice. It will be the best way for the vampires will stop bothering us." I managed a small smile despite the terrible situation. It was comforting to know that I had a friend by my side, even in the midst of all this chaos.
Karen and I stood nervously at the doorstep of Simon's mansion. We were supposed to meet him there for an urgent matter, but instead, we were greeted by his parents. "Hello, my name is Karen, and this is my friend, Melvin. May we ask if Simon's here?" Karen asked with a slight tremble in her voice. "My son's not here," Simon's mother replied curtly and began to close the door. "But, ma'am, it's important." I pleaded with her. "Our friend, Jackson, was kidnapped by the vampires, and Simon is the only one who can help us." Simon's parents exchanged a skeptical glance. "We don't believe you. How do we know you're really Simon's friends?" Simon's dad asked this time. Karen and I exchanged glances, waiting for someone from us to say something. Then I took a deep breath and started telling them the story of how I first met Simon while I was on my way to the school's parking lot. Everything. That my wolf hated him from the start from the deepest part of my bones.
My wolf immediately rushes to his side, and with shaky hands, I check his pulse, relieved to find that it's still strong. My heart sinks again as I recognize the signs of a werewolf injury, with burns and scrapes. Jackson mutters a few incomprehensible words in his unconscious state, and the sound of his voice makes me overcome with emotions. I scooped him up and gets him out of the cave, taking him to safety under the moonlight. My wolf begin to wonder about how this could have happened. As soon as I set his body on a plain surface of the ground, I howled louder to signal Karen and Simon. Then I checked Jackson's body again. He was unresponsive. So I shortly applied CPR on him. My wolf waited anxiously until he awoke, gripping his hand tightly. Finally, Jackson's eyes flutter open, and he looked at me with confusion. The moment his breathing turned normal, I started asking him about what happened, but he can't seem to remember anything. His memory was hazy,
The next day, Jackson and I were sitting in Karen's condo, watching the news on the television. Karen, on the other hand, was preparing some snacks. We were casually chatting about the school's upcoming programs and events to get us prepared for the possibilities until the news anchor's voice abruptly interrupted our conversation. "Breaking news, I repeat, breaking news," the anchor said urgently, causing us to immediately focus our attention on the TV. We watched in shock and disbelief as the news report unfolded in front of us. An entire village had been wiped out, believed to have been the work of wild animals but we believed from a group of vampires. The footage showed images of the destruction and terror, with devastated families trying to find their loved ones amid the rubble. "Wow," Jackson said, breaking the silence that had fallen over us. "This is truly horrifying." "I can't believe this is happening," Karen added, her voice strained with emot
Alpha Draku paused for a moment, his eyes narrowing as he considered my words. "Very well," he said at last. "If it brings you peace of mind, we will prepare for any potential threat. But know that I still do not believe in the vampire elders." With that, he dismissed us, and we left the pack village with heavy hearts. As we made our way back through the forests, we could not shake the feeling that something ominous was looming on the horizon. The next few days were spent in a flurry of preparations. Karen, Jackson, and I, and sometimes Simon joined us in, worked tirelessly to gather the resources we needed to ensure the humans' and pack's safety. We scouted the area of our school, set up traps, and laid out plans for different scenarios. We were determined to be ready for anything that may come our way. However, the days passed, and there was no sign of the Vampire Elders. We began to wonder if Alpha Draku was right, and our fears were unfounded. But just as
As Karen and I continued patrolling the city, the moon was high in the sky and the night was quiet. The occasional car would pass by, but for the most part, it was just the two of us walking through the streets. We were both on high alert, knowing that any moment we could come face to face with one of the Vampire Elders. "Thank you for doing this, Karen," I said, trying to open a conversation when the two of us were completely serious since we got out of the woods meeting with the vampires. "What about me?" Jackson blurted. He even moved his face closer to me to make sure he will be noticed. "Aren't you supposed to be thanking me as well?" Karen and I exchanged a short smile. "Are your wounds already healed?" I asked considering I am still seeing his bandages all over his arms after my wolf saved him from the wheel. "Don't change the subject, dude." Jackson insisted. "I managed to meet vampires, werewolves, hunters, and many more in the name of peace and justice." "Fine," I sh
The next day, I requested Jackon for a man-to-man talk in my apartment before we could head to school. "What this is about that we need to talk as early as six in the morning, huh?" Jackson complained before he dropped his body on the bed. I was in the bathroom at the moment, but the door was slightly cracked. "Our pack had an urgent meeting last night." "Okay. And what's in it for me?" he asked, still disinterested. "We talked about protecting our pack members from the Vampire Elders. And I proposed to help the humans." I said, then head out of the bathroom. Jackson lifted half of his body and looked me in the eye, this time, his face turned serious, especially when he was the only human I know who was well aware of what was certainly going on in New Orleans. And the high level of threat these Vampire Elders possesses to the humankind. "Let me guess, he did not agree to it. That's why you need my help." Jackson said. "Exactly! You get my point. No wo
