"Dude, can you just drop this obsession with the new owner of our school?" Jackson uttered. "I mean, all of us are already occupied facing the monsters in school and the streets day and night." "Jackson's right, Melvin." Simon agreed. "If Mr. James was an enemy, he would probably not waste his billions to buy the school to continue Draku's prophecy. If I were him, I'm gonna use the money to build my own pack. And besides, nobody knows if he is an alpha." Simon's statement somehow gave me something to doubt. Indeed, I, for one, don't know if Mr. James is an alpha. We don't know what he can and cannot do as a werewolf. Either way, my wolf could not sense something massive and overwhelming power similar to Alpha Draku or any alpha that I know of in New Orleans. However, the only thing my wolf sensed about him was this dark aura surrounding him. His bouncers or security guards who kept following him everywhere he went were scarier compared to his wolf. Perhaps tha
The next morning, as the three of us were getting ready for our rugby game, Simon kept teasing us about getting attacked by a monster. Jackson and I were trying to discuss what would happen if we truly encountered such a creature during our match, but Simon just kept laughing it off. "Come on guys, we're just here to play some rugby and have fun," Simon said with a chuckle. "Why are you both so worried about getting attacked?" "Because it's a possibility," Jackson countered. "You never know what could happen on the field." I nodded in agreement. "Yeah, we need to be prepared for anything. What if the monster is faster than us?" Simon just shook his head. "You guys are too paranoid. Even if we did come across a monster while answering the call of nature, that doesn't mean it would follow us to the rugby field." Despite his mocking, we continued to discuss the hypothetical situation. We talked about the different ways we could defend ourselves and even considered
As we made our way through the deserted halls of the school, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The monster was still out there, wreaking havoc. We didn't know if anyone else had been hurt, or what would happen if it continued its rampage. But for now, my job was to focus on getting Jackson the help he needed. We reached the clinic in record time, where the school nurse quickly assessed his injuries and got to work. While I watched Jackson receive medical attention, I couldn't shake the feeling that I had abandoned my duty as a werewolf guardian to stop the monster. But my best friend's well-being was more important than my duty to the school. All we could do now was wait and hope that the reinforcements would arrive soon enough and that they would be able to subdue the monster. Until then, all we could do was hope for the best and pray that no one else would be hurt. "Please, help my brother." a familiar voice suddenly echoed in my ears while I impatie
After the call ended, the door of the clinic also slide open. The doctor finally went out after almost an hour of waiting and I greeted him. "Doc, how's my friend?" I asked in a worried tone. "He's doing better now." the doctor said with a smile on his face. "We already stopped the bleeding and put pain reliever to ease his excruciating pain. You can visit and talk to him now." "But there were no other complications, right?" I insisted. "I mean, my friend is a rugby player and he is the brain of our team. We can't afford to get him out of the picture." The doctor nodded to his nurses, telling them to head out first. "Well, considering how deep the wound is, he can't play for about a month or two. But he can still play once it completely healed. It's just a wound, kiddo. Nothing to worry about him." He then clapped my shoulder and left the clinic along with the rest of his nurses. Right after that, I went inside to check on Jackson. "Hey, what are you still doin
"Let us go, or I'll shoot all of you," Ethan said, then he helped his brother up and dig deeper into the woods, leaving us all speechless. As soon as Ethan and Aiden's scents were already out of reach, Alex broke the moment of silence and asked, "What now? Are we just going to stay here the entire night?" "Count me out," Simon said. "I would rather sleep tonight instead of hunting a monster in the middle of the woods." then he slapped my shoulder. "dude, I know you're a good man, but do not put everything in your hands. You're not a hero. These people will not reward you with money or anything. You are Melvin Parker, a regular student, and a rugby player." "Besides, this place is no longer part of your scope as a werewolf guardian. Let's go, Simon. Maybe we could just have a drink tonight." "Get your hands off me, Alex," Simon said as they started walking away from me. "but getting drunk tonight is not a bad idea after all. The game was already canceled. And we sti
My wolf knew that we could not let the Kraken get the better of me. With a powerful surge of energy, I swam away as fast as I could, Dave in tow. As we emerged from the water, we were greeted by cheers and applause from the crowd gathered on the beach. I was feeling relieved that we made it back, but my werewolf senses were still tingling, and I felt a little uneasy. Looking back towards the water, my heart slowed down as I saw the Kraken shrivel and shrink down into a pile of seaweed. It was a sigh of relief knowing that the ordeal was over. We were grateful to be back on dry land, trembling with fear and shock at the experience we just went through. We knew our lives could have been taken underwater if it weren't for my quick thinking and werewolf abilities. We immediately ran over to Dave, who was unconscious on the sand. We were relieved to find out that he was still alive, although he was badly injured. We called for help, and soon the ambulance arrived and r
Ethan and Aiden exchanged glances again. Someone already told me about those men in masks who were turning humans into monsters but I did not get the chance to focus on them. "You can't tell them if you don't want to Aiden," Ethan said while carrying Roger's unconscious body. "But I was hoping you can tell us more about them so we could put an end to their wrongdoings, Aiden," I said with a smile on my face. "You can tell us some other time. Got it?" "You have to trust us, Aiden," Jackson added. "I was supposed to go after you because of what you did to me. I mean, look at me now. But Melvin stopped me from seeking revenge." "We're so sorry about that," Aiden uttered. "We'll, it was clear as day that it was not my fault you got that wound. You tried to save this bastard." "Enough!" Ethan cut them in. "It's already late for the blaming thing. Just give us your bank account information so we could send you the payment for your hospital bills." Until then, our conversation was put t
Karen and I had been preparing for weeks for our journey to the pack. A lot had been happening within the pack, and we needed to check on the new leadership, Julian and Jelian, to get some updates. "Did you bring all the reports?" I asked Karen on our way to the village. All report papers must be completed, especially the cases of the monsters we encountered recently. In the report papers, we will indicate the monster's name, origin, strengths, and weaknesses. That was the most important piece of information we must have during the reporting. And of course, about how we defeated them. Alpha Draku kept his records for future preferences. "I guess so," Karen said back. "As far as I could remember, I did not touch anything about the reports as soon as they landed in my hands." "Good," I uttered. "Are you ready for the reporting?" "Piece of cake." Karen extended a smile on her face. "This is most likely similar to our school reporting. But do you think the
