"All right. Thanks for filling us up, dude." Simon heaved an abrupt sigh before clapping Joseh's shoulders. Determination started to light his mood. "Let's start discussing our plan." He then handed us one by one a piece of paper. "Those were the list of the monsters whom Mr. James and his scientists kept in his laboratory underneath our school for months now. All thanks to our friends, Melvin and Karen for capturing them for us." he continued. "If not because of them, perhaps some of us would not be here right now." Undeniably, I felt overwhelmed by Simon's statement. I did not do much about capturing those monsters yet he still gives me the credit to it. It all thanks to Melvin. Simon and some of our friends have been part of those missions, successful ones, to be precise. He was too humble not to mention his name. "Let's begin with the number one on the list." Simon continued. "The Chimera." As far as I could remember, the Chimera was the first monster those men in

My only assurance to them is that they are not gonna them face them alone. We have the werewolves and vampires with us. United we stand divided we fall. "You're right about that, dude," Simon replied on my behalf. Behind him are Alex, Glester, and Joseph. Perhaps they have agreed to one thing already. "I know all of you are scared even if just reading those papers. We cannot blame you for that." The three vampires then grabbed their seats at the back, trying to avoid getting eye-to-eye contact with anyone, including me of course. And the guilt of what happened earlier was still all over their faces. "But getting scared." Simon continued. "Do you think getting scared could save you all from getting killed by those monsters? No. The more you get scared, the more those monsters hunt you even in your sleep." "That is why we have to do something," I added. "Something that can protect us. Not for our friends, family, and classmates, but for ourselves too. Please, put in

"You knew something about the prophecy?" I threw the question back to her. One of the men in masks told us that Melvin holds a part of the prophecy. But I didn't get the chance what was the prophecy was all about. Mr. James once told us about it as well, but he doesn't want to tell us everything. I don't want to have a one-on-one conversation with him about it since Melvin still considered him a threat to us. "Rumors spread out and reached us that there will be a young natural-born male wolf who is destined to become an alpha in the future. A true alpha to be precise." Julian explained. "A true alpha?" I asked for clarification with several long curve lines written all over my forehead. "What was that supposed to mean?" "Someone who becomes an alpha without stealing someone's power. Without killing another alpha. His true alpha power comes from his will." Jelian clarified. "But what does it have to do with us?" I asked again. "I mean, Melvin believes that I hav

Tonight's commotion would be a do-or-die for my life as a werewolf and as an alpha. We have come this far. I am doing this for Melvin. To save him. To stop our hundreds of enemies from spreading their wrath. And nothing can stop them apart from us. Melvin and I shared the same vision for the future - a peaceful place to live for everyone; good werewolves, vampires, and humans. "We have come seeking an alliance," Julian said firmly, meeting the pack leader's eyes. "Our pack is growing and we need your support to fight against the common threats that we face." The leader's mouth stretched into a wry smile, his eyes glinting with amusement. "So, you expect us to lend a helping hand to a struggling pack?" he mocked. "What makes you think we would be interested in joining forces with a group that can't even protect its own members?" An uneasy silence fell over us as Jelian and Julia shifted uncomfortably. The leader's words cut deep, exposing the vulnerability of our pa

The knocking did not stop there. Instead, the sound became more aggressive as though whoever the person behind the door knows that I am still awake. Could it be Simon? Wait. There is no way Simon would visit me in my apartment since his rugby boys are with him in their warehouse. He can't leave them there by themselves. That's not the Simon that I know. Could it be Julain and Jelian instead? No, of course not. We agreed to meet in the morning before sunrise but it was still one in the morning. I know those two were not early birds. Perhaps, the twins were still in their profound sleep right now. How about Mom or Dad? As far as I could remember, the two kept on calling and sending me messages, asking me to get back to the house because they were both worried about the incident recently. However, I simply ignored them because I decided to focus my undivided attention on saving Melvin. My parents had a lot of security guards surrounding them. I am confident enough th
