*Bzzzzzzzzz-bzzzzzzzz*Ugh, it's my alarm. I have to get up but I'm so exhausted.Right after fully opening my eyes I remembered what had happened last night. I jumped off the couch and ran to my room. He's still passed out. His skin seems better though. I guess I did a good job. It's better to change his bandages first before going to school since they are drenched.The chair is still there. I brought all the necessary things for cleaning and changing the wounds and put them on the night stand next to the bed. I sat next to him before sighing first.My poor bed, it has a lot of blood too. Great idea not changing the sheets before leaving.I used all of my strength to pull him up, jeez he's heavy. I took off the bandage around his shoulder and abdomen. Weird, his cuts are almost healed. He's healing abnormally fast.I decided to ignore that and clean his almost healed wounds. I bandaged him again then gave him a sponge bath. This time I forced myself to take off his pants and he wasn't wearing any underwear. And I was right, HE'S HUGE. I made sure to finish as fast as possible.After I was done I took a quick shower then headed out. I got to class 10 minutes before it started."What happened to you, you look like sh*t." Holland, my friend, asked."That's rude, you know. You don't just say someone look like sh*t.""But you do look like that.""I'm just tired.""Why? Did you get home late?""No, it's not that.""Okay. Did you hear the shooting? Mike told me he heard another shooting last night and this time it was really close to his house." I frowned at him. "Oh, sorry. It just came out.""You know what, I've been thinking. Just because Mike and I aren't on speaking terms it doesn't mean I should stop you from talking about your friend.""No, it will make the atmosphere very heavy. Like now.""Let's just forget about it then. Let's talk about something else.""Like what?""You said your girlfriend went to her parents this past weekend. She back yet?" He nodded but he doesn't seem excited. "Something wrong?""I think she's cheating on me.""What? Did you talk to her?" He shook his head. "Why not?""I think I want to break up with her.""What? Why?""I may have fallen for someone else.""Are you serious? What's wrong with you!""I didn't mean for it to happen, okay. It just happened."I sighed while rolling my eyes. "Who is she? Do I know her?""I think it's better we talk about this after class." The prof walked in with a big book in her hand."Alright everyone, good morning.""Morning professor.""Let's get started then."*****Right after class ended we went to the cafeteria. "I need to tell you something but I need you to promise me you won't get mad.""What do you mean?""Okay, you can get mad but don't get mad at me forever." He's getting fidgety. He's nervous about something."Say it already. What is it?""Mike and I are dating." He spoke really fast I couldn't really hear him well."Wait, what?""Mike and I are dating." Hmm, I guess I didn't mishear him.Wait, he's dating Mike!? He's bi?!"Wait, you're dating who? Mike? You're bi?" He shrugged."I also didn't know until he came along.""First, when did you two start dating?"He avoided my eyes before saying, "It's been a month now.""A month? You're the reason why he broke up with me?" He nodded. "Wow." I chuckled while facing the other way. "And I thought I had a friend.""I promise I never wanted to mess with your relationship. It-it just happened. I'm sorry.""It just happened"." I chuckled again. "No, you let it happened. If you cared about our friendship you wouldn't have let it happen." I sighed while trying to hold back the anger I'm feeling right now. "You know what, I'm done." I got up. He held my hand before I left."What do you mean you're done? I really am sorry. I don't want to lose our friendship.""You should've thought about that before stealing my boyfriend." I yanked my hand out of his before storming away.I'm pissed beyond pissing. I don't know if that made sense. If it didn't, make it make sense in your head.I stormed all the way to the bus stop. No wonder he was avoiding me a week before he broke up with me. You know what, forget him.Then I remembered the guy at home. I should buy him something to wear since I don't have anything that could fit him. I went to Target before heading to the busstop.The bus arrived. I got home within 30 minutes. It's past 12 right now and he hasn't eaten anything since last night.Wait, what do you feed an unconscious person and how? Don't I need a drip?I searched online and found nothing helpful 'cause I do need a drip and I don't have anything like that at home.Let's try soup.I quickly made tomato soup and took it to him. I pulled him up again. Okay, I burn at least 2000 calories everytime I try to pull this guy up *sighs*.I took the soup in a cup and tried to carefully and gently pour it down his throat. It went down easily. But wow, his lips are chapped af.I put him down after a couple of minutes of letting the soup go down. I put on Vaseline on his lips. Right after pulling my finger off his lips his eyes slowly opened.Wow, they're a beautiful bright gold. I've never seen anyone with eyes like those.His eyes met with mine then he flinched back. He started panicking even though he's completely weak."No, wait. I'm not going to hurt you." Even though he backed away from me I can easily tell he's really weak. His eyes are just slightly opened at this point. He looked around as if checking his surrounding. "I promise I won't hurt you. I helped with your wounds, you see." He looked at his body still panting from panic. "You can calm down."After calming down he crawled closer to me very slowly. I put my hands up to show him he can trust me.Suddenly put his head on my hand. He rubbed his head on my hand making me pat him. THIS IS WEIRD.Suddenly he passed out again. I flinched back right after he collapsed on the bed.What just happened? Is he on drugs? Should I really be letting this guy into my house?I checked his pulse, he's alive. His breathing is stable. Then what's wrong with him?I dressed him in the clothes I had bought, put him into the sheets properly then went to the dining room.Then I remembered Holland said Mike heard the shooting close to his house. That means he's back next door. Yes, my ex-boyfriend lives right next to my house. I really want to check on him...but I won't.At around 6pm I went out back to check if there's anymore blood. Only just a little.I brought a bucket of water outside to try and remove the blood before someone sees. I'm still angry at Holland. I don't think I can forgive him. I really love-loved Mike."Keylan?" Someone spoke from next door. That voice is too familiar. Please tell me it's not Mike. I looked to my right, it's him. "Hey."Breaking up with me without giving me a proper reason because you're f*cking my friend then try to talk to me like we're friends. You're a real jerk, Mike."Yeah, hi." I got back to my scrubbing of the pave before the grass."How are you doing? You look good." He offered me a smile which I ignored."Fine I guess.""What are you doing?""It's none of your business.""Oh." Then I heard a loud bang, like something or someone very heavy fell. "What was that?" He asked. I left everything and ran to my room.The guy's tossing and turning. I think he's heaving a bad dream. "Mom, no! I'm not going to leave you! Mom, let's run together. Dad will chase them away like usual. There's hope. I won't leave you." He had dropped the cup and the first aid kit.I slowly approached him and sat on the chair next to him. I carefully tried to hold his hand to calm him down. He immediately squeezed it really hard. It hurt a lot, he's crushing my hand. I held his hand with my free one. He started to calm down not after long.He didn't let go of my hand for about 2 hours. I ended up falling asleep next to him.*****Something licking my face woke me up. It feels really wet and a lot like a tongue. A dog tongue. I slowly opened my eyes to a very large wolf on top of me. I'm in bed. It's staring at me!I immediately jumped out of bed and headed into the bathroom.What the hell!**It took me a hot second to process what I just saw. Did I really see a wolf right now? And it was on top of me?! Nah, maybe I'm still drunk from sleep.I slowly opened the door a little. It's on the bed. It's staring at the door. It tilted it's head. I shut the door again then started panicking. Why is it in my house?! I'm freaking afraid of dogs. Why did it have to be a wolf instead of a cat?! Then it bark making me jump.Bad idea but I opened the door. It's just sitting there staring at me. I slowly and carefully approached it. Right before I got close to it, it barked again scaring me again. "Alright, alright. I get it."I tried again, slowly approach it. It's not attacking me, weird. I thought wolves attack prey. Maybe they attack only when they feel threatened or hungry. I reached out to it expecting to get bitten but it just brought it's head into my hand. I can't believe this, I'm patting a wolf. And a big one at that. To be honest, it's kinda cute. It's fur is grey and wh
*"Why are you following me?""I'm not following you. We're just heading in the same direction.""Whatever." I increased my pace but he still followed."Can we talk?""Why?""I just want to talk to you...about something.""Look, I don't know why you keep acting like we're friends.""Please, I need to talk to you.""Fine. What is it?" We stopped at the busstop."Did he tell you?" I nodded. "I want to apologize first.""For f*cking my friend then dumping me?""Uh, y-yes. I'm sorry.""It's fine. I don't care anymore.""Really?" The bus arrived. I immediately got on. He sat with me. "You're not mad?""I never said I'm not mad. I said I don't care.""Oh. So can we be friends?""Why?""J-just. I don't want to be the cause of your friendship ending.""It already ended when you decided to sleep with my friend.""I didn't do it on purpose though. It just happened."I chuckled. "Ha, it just happened." I put on my head phones. He took one out though and put it into his ear."Can I listen with yo
*A tongue licking me woke me up. It's Lupus. I'm in bed. How did I get here? Wait, what happened? Right after looking at Lupus I remembered what I saw. Was it a dream?"Lupus? Were you human?""Woof.""No way, I probably was dreaming. There's no way you turned into a human. Right?" He licked my face again.It's already 11pm. "Wanna go out again?""Woof!""Let's go then."I changed into my exercise clothes then we left. It didn't take long to get to the woods. He wondered off. I'm hoping he won't run too far because I won't be able to find him.Did I really dream that Lupus was human? And he turned into that guy? But what if it wasn't a dream? Then, am I living with a beast?"Woof woof!" I heard Lupus howling in the woods. I ran in without a second of thinking."Lupus, what's wrong?" I found him with a rabbit in his mouth. Gross! I almost barfed. "You know what, I'm not gonna say anything. Enjoy your late night snack." I went back out to the street.It actually feels nice going for a
*"So your pack got attacked by humans?" He nodded. "And you ran away just in time before you were killed?" He nodded again. "But what happened to you parents?""Mom tried to fight the humans while dad helped me hide. He told me to run and he'll come find me. But right before I ran I saw dad getting shot. Mom was already dead.""Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.""But I'm grateful for Keylan. Keylan helped Lupus." He smiled. Wow, he's kinda hot...and cute at the same time. I notice now how long his hair is. It's around his shoulders "Thank you."I think I blushed a little. "It's-you're welcome. But what's your real name?""Mom never gave me a name. Giving names to pups is not common to werewolves. That's why I was happy when Keylan named me Lupus.""Okay. That must be confusing though. Do you-or did you have siblings?" He nodded. "Were they also unable to escape the attack?""I don't know. They were hunting when the humans attacked.""Well, I hope they're okay too." He nodded now with a fro
* While waiting for Lupus I decided to do some light stretches. "Keylan!" Mike again. He came jogging over to me. "Hi." He stopped right in front of me panting really hard. "Mm, hi." "What are you doing here? Do you also jog using this route?" "Um, yeah. S-sometimes." Lupus please don't come out now. "Okay. Then, are you taking a break now?" I nodded while checking the woods for Lupus. "Wanna jog together?" "Um, no thanks. I'm waiting for someone." "Someone? Who?" "No one." Just leave me alone, person! "O-kay. Then, I'll leave you to it. See ya." He continued his jog away from me. Lupus came right after, in wolf form and with a rabbit in his mouth. "Jesus!" I jumped in shock after seeing all the blood in his mouth. "Woof!" "Why did you- oh my God." For a second there, I forgot I live with a predator. "Just finish your snack before we go back." I turned my back on him but I could still hear him rip the meat off the poor rabbit. We went back after he was done eating. His fac
* "What are you doing here?" "I followed Keylan's scent to school to surprise you." "Are you insane!?" "Wait, are they dating?" I heard someone talk from the back. "Let's go." I pulled Lupus away from campus. "Why did you come to my school? You really could've gotten lost, or worse." "But I have a really great sense of smell. I can find you no matter where you are." "That's not the point. Don't do this again, okay?" He nodded. "I'm sorry. I promise I won't do it again." He frowned a little. Sigh, "Let's go home now." We took the train home. He was excited to be on a train for the first time, he kept looking around and smiling at everyone. We got home not after long. Right before we got into the house I saw Mike coming out of his. "Keylan? Who-who's that?" I panicked. "Um he is my uh~ boyfriend. Yeah. He's my boyfriend." "Hmm?" Lupus looked at me confused. "What's a boyfriend?" "Shh." I covered his mouth. "Well, see ya." I pushed Lupus inside then locked the door. I sighed
* Five months passed and nothing much changed. Holland and I became friends again but we're not as close anymore. Mike is still trying to get back with me no matter how much I reject him. I'M SICK AND TIRED OF HIM! Ever since that night, Lupus always wants to hold me everytime we sleep. It still doesn't feel right but I also got used to it. It's really soothing listening to his heartbeat as a lullaby. But on specific nights he'd leave me sleeping and go somewhere. I don't know where though. He'd return early in the morning looking exhausted and worn out. I don't ask anything though. I just go with the flow. But that doesn't mean I'm not curious. Right now I'm heading home from writing a Math paper. I was NOT prepared. I'm sure I'm not gonna pass 70%. I'll maybe get 66%. "Can I walk with you?" Mike spoke from the back. As usual, I ignored him until we got to my mailbox. He held my hand before I could walk to the door. "Why don't you just accept me back? You're single and I'm single
*My eyes are opening. There's something warm on my head. I'm in bed. "Oh, Keylan! You're awake." Lupus is sitting right next to me. He has a bowl full of water on him."What happened?" I asked."You fainted. I searched online and I think you have a fever.""Oh." I think it's because we've been eating a lot of junk foods during the past two months and my immune system got weak. Whenever I don't eat healthy for a while I get sick."I found medicine in the bathroom." I sat up. He put the bowl down on the nightstand."I need to have breakfast first."He suddenly hugged my waist. "You'll be fine after taking medicine, right?" He asked worriedly.I smiled, "I will. Thank you.""For?""Helping me.""It's the least I could do since you also took care of me and saved my life.""Okay, you don't always have to bring that up. I just did the bare minimum.""That minimum helped me a lot though." I patted his back a little while blushing a little."By the way, how did your wounds heal so fast befor
