"No, I'm not saying like that, okay?" I defensively said back. "What am trying to say is that, we should get hold of your anger issues, one step at a time. And of course, we need to find a way to delete this CCTV footage Julian has." "What about your girlfriend?" she asks. "You mean Jelian?" I scoff. "come on, Karen. I know you already know that Jelian and I are nothing now." then I shrugs her off before I added, "my girlfriend is walking with me right now." That was supposed to be to humor Karen but she seems to have hated the thought of it when she suddenly stops walking forward. To my surprise, her tears began pouring from her eyes with her lips were also trembling. "Melvin, look," she utters and removes my shoulder from her. I follow the point of her eyes heading to our right side - to the freedom wall of our school. Our school built a 24 ft. tall freedom wall built with concrete bricks for the students to draw or post something free of charge. Those
So I scan the entire space to check if anything was left. However, even after a few minutes of searching, my wolf could no longer see anything that belongs to me. As though my sole existence in the building was removed for good. "Thank you so much, Miss Stanford. Melvin is such a good kid. He never brought someone into his apartment until you told me." "No. The pleasure is mine, Mrs. Ledisma. Don't worry, I will inform Melvin about your concern." Karen said back. Both their eyes broadened upon seeing me getting furious as soon as they step foot into the empty apartment. "What the hell is going on?" I ask both of them. Karen smiled at me before she drags her eyes to Mrs. Ledisma, the landlord of the building. "And where did my things go?" "I think that's my cue for me to head out," says Mrs. Ledisma in an awkward tone. "Anyway, I let you two talk about this, lovebirds." she giggles before she evacuated the room, leaving me and Karen. "What are you doing, Karen?" I ask her again,
"Don't worry, Melvin," says Mr. Stanford. "We know you are not going to hurt us in your monster form, are you?" his question even made me feel more skeptical. I mean, of all the favor they can ask me, that one thing I cannot dare do have been requested. Even if I am no longer part of a pack, and I can do whatever I want, my wolf still follows the universal law of being one: to uphold our secrets to humans. "He can't hurt you guys, but my wolf might." Karen smirks at them before she drags her gaze at me and added, "It's all right, Melvin. As mom said earlier, they already made some digging. Mom and dad simply want to see an actual one." At first, my wolf felt hesitant, not because they are safe from me, but because I am having a hard time accepting the fact that I'd be shifting in front of humans. Both parents of the woman whom I turn into a monster. Karen then pulls the door close to make sure no one could see and hear what is bound to happen apart from her and
My wolf doesn't know how Jackson comes up with that kind of perspective, but he just hit the one-million-dollar question about the awful incident. And I cannot deny him the truth because he is my best friend. Though the incident was surprising, he was already aware of our existence. And for how many years Jackson and I have been friends, I never heard of him telling my dirty secret to anyone. My wolf trusted Jackson out of the billions of humans wandering around the world. He is even worthy of my trust compared to Julian and Jelian who shared the same kind as mine. "I'll tell you everything about it, not right now. However, better shut your mouth before anyone could hear you," I added. "you haven't seen what she looks like when she gets angry." Then I let go of my shrugs from him and ordered Karen to position her face on the chalkboard, especially when our professor just steps foot into the room. "Better be, dude," Jackson whispered to me. "you've been gone a
Julian was about to punch Karen in the face but Jackson and I managed to hold his hand and pinned him to the wall. Even if Karen is a woman, there is no way Julian sees and considers that fact. He will punch and kick her if he wants to without any signs of hesitation. That is what their wolves are. Ruthless, brutal, disrespectful, and monstrous. "Don't you dare lay a hand on her, you, son of a bitch!" I exclaimed. Even glowed my eyes in front of him. Jackson, despite he is the only human in the room, still extended his hands for me, grasping Julian's legs. "Who says I am going to punch her, huh?" Julian said back. "We're killing her, you also, sons of a bitch!" Right after that, Jelian suddenly slaps Karen on the face. Hard enough her five fingers and palm leave red marks on Karen's face. However, Jelian did not stop with just one slap. She then grabs Karen's long black hair and pinned her to the floor. Karen could not help but expresses the pain with a
"Why are you doing this to me, Julian, Jelian? Is betraying me not enough for both of you to stay away from us?" I asked. "What do you really want? Draku already told you to stay away from me and Karen." There is no way Julian and Jelian are not terrified of Draku as their alpha. I sense there was more to it that they have to stay in school instead of going back to New York City where they were assigned originally. "The ones who killed those wolves outside were werewolf hunters," Jelian confessed. "Even if you broke up with me for a nonsense reason, I still care for you, Melvin. And I am still hoping we could still get back together." I could not help but drag my glare to Karen and Jackson while Jelian let out those words. Karen and Jackson are still unaware of the precise reason Jelian and I broke up. Even though her statement was somewhat convincing but the damage has been done already. Once I already ended things, there is no way I could get it back. "And b
As soon as I brought Jackson outside the building, Karen and I continued our heart-to-heart discussion. This time, I pointed out everything her wolf needs to know. One to mention is what Jelian and Julian told us about the risk that was currently surrounding our wolves. Karen witnessed it with her own eyes two of our werewolf students died at the hands of those unknown werewolf hunters. And I made sure to equip her with the thought that her circle of friends will abandon her once they know about us. It was the least I could do to make sure she will listen to my words. That we are already in the same boat so we must stick to each other. She sinks, and my wolf sinks too. "Jackson was already gone, Karen." I said. "Can we proceed with the training now?" "Human blood still runs through my veins, Melvin." she said back. "my body needs to eat." "We'll have our dinner after the training then." before Karen could say a word of her disapproval, I drag her out of the u
"Are you saying something?" I inquired him while reading what was running through his mind. Then I rolled my eyes at all corners of the precinct when I found no paparazzi or anyone's camera around the way I imagine it to be, interrogating Karen apart from her dad surrounded by ten security guards while debating with the police officer. My confused and feeble brain imagines Karen has been standing beside her dad with a coat around her while answering the paparazzi's questions, but in reality, she was locked up in a cell and kept bursting into tears. And I could feel the heavy weight she felt inside her heart. The feeling was squeezing her and tearing her apart. She was completely confused right now and might blame me for what happened. This arrestment thing is a huge embarrassment not just to her but to her entire family. Needless to say, Mr. and Mrs. Stanford have a noble name to uphold. Karen's unexpected arrest might not just stain their names but will ruin their
