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

"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

"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

"Are you all right? Can you hear me?" I added, this time, it was my wolf who was also having a hard time breathing similar to the rest of the wolves with me in the holding cell. Don't have any idea what the man sprayed into the air but all of us, specifically our wolves, are greatly affected. Those who have low esteem just like Karen immediately reacted to it, especially the ones who just dropped their bodies to the floor. "Can't breath, Melvin, please, help me," Karen uttered inwardly. I could sense her heartbeats starting to fade off. And that also worried me the most. At any minute, I believe, Karen will end up just like the others if I will do nothing. A dead wolf. But she will not die from having a hard time breathing but getting a stab by a knife. "Shift," we are already in the middle of an undesirable situation, so I proposed to her that. It was the least my brain could think of that might save her. "You have to force yourself to turn, Karen. I already taught you how to

By that statement, I could not help but drop my werewolf senses back to the precinct and indeed found ten dead wolves beneath us. Eleven including Karen. "What are you gonna do now, huh, young wolf?" he added before he loaded his crossbow with an arrow, then pointed straight to my heart. "Poor soul. Is she your girlfriend?" Displaying his ear-to-ear smile straight to my face boils my blood like an explosive and causes the veins in my hands and neck to pop out. He even has the audacity to smile at me when he just killed someone innocent. Someone who did not even get the chance to furthermore explore and get to know the beast inside her. And all I could see is her blood ejected out of her body and stained my hands. My eyes have to see blood a few times, but Karen's was different from those I have witnessed. Her warm blood trembled every fiber of my muscle. "I did not get the chance to confess my feelings for her, you monster," I said back in a furious tone but the tears in my eyes p
