“I will accept it, as an apology,” she smiled. “As long as you pay,” she stated, showing a smile again. “I admire that you are trying so hard to protect you and your friend from whatever it is,” she commented, turning away and walking on, heading for the cafeteria.

“What are you talking about?” he questioned her, taking her arm, lightly. She stopped. In a quick gesture, she pulled her smartphone from her pocket, unlocked it, entered the gallery, and select the photo, showed it to him. He was not prepared for such a blow. He definitely had no answer for that. It was a picture of him, Jack, Evan, Wallace, and Martin, doing total nothing (in her view); there was no excuse in his head convincing enough to tell her.

“We'd better eat,” he suggested, cringing.

“That's what I thought,” she scoffed, putting the device away and glancing back down the row to get on with the eating plan. Kurt continued behind, trying to think of any real excuse that might involve a meeting with the new employees.

    Cassie couldn't resist and texted Jack, who thought he was being too hard on her, so in a few minutes he returned her message, and then another one arrived. He realized that if he gave it a chance, he would realize that the girl was even nicer and cooler, and to think about it, she was no different in person, and he admitted that the attitudes taken by her and her friend were quite plausible; he and Kurt had been a pain in the ass.Whenever he wasn't working, Jack would go to the apartment and read a little. He had a good collection of books. He was still exchanging messages with Cassie when he received a new one and one he wasn't expecting. The message said that they knew exactly where he and his friend would be and that they would take care of them. It was none other than Jesse, the black wolf boy from the past. For a few seconds, he felt a chill go through his body because he was not prepared to deal with an attack, it would create countless problems for everyone, there would certa

    On the floor, Jack was still on the ground, checking the giant wound on his body, but he was overcome with an inexplicable feeling of adrenaline, so he stood up with all his might and pulled Jesse from Evan.“Jack, you're changing,” Evan warned, as he noticed the same aspects of Jesse in him. Seconds later, Jack's breathing became labored, and he finally surrendered to the inside of his body, releasing his gray wolf at last, at the same time, as Jesse took advantage of the gap to release his wolf completely as well.Evan couldn't do anything, in front of him was two medium wolves growling at each other, and he had no idea what to do, he had separated from the group when he heard Jack's cries, and he hadn't had any sign of Kurt or the others. With no way out, he thought of Susan, of how he needed her to show up at that moment.Finally, the confrontation between the wolves began, and Evan tried to stay as far away as possible since he knew the risk was too high. Black wolves had a very

    When he finally managed to bite Jesse hard, he put all his strength together to push him away, causing them both to crash into a tree and forcing a separation between the parties. In the few seconds, he had to recover, Jack could see Evan still lying on the ground, all bruised, and Kurt confronting Kaio with everything he had. At that moment, even though it was a risk, he ran to Evan, because he knew that as soon as Jesse saw him, he would want to attack him since he was one of the former members he hated. The assumption was correct, as soon as he got close to his friend, he received a blow, knocking him out of the way, and leaving Evan completely vulnerable. Before he could recompose himself, he was attacked again, so that his movements were limited, but everything changed when Kurt arrived biting Jesse; Kaio followed, and then the four of them stood there, growling and staring at each other, ready to continue fighting, even though they were super wounded, healing slowly, so slowly t

  • Betrayed By My Doomed Mate   CHAPTER 37 - EMPATHY

    Since returning to his room, Jack hadn't picked up his cell phone, he would rather not have to read anything, he just lay in bed and cried silently, thinking about how this would all be harder than he imagined, and how he wouldn't have time to process anything. He was envious of all the men who didn't turn into wolves, and he blamed himself again for creating a reality where he had awakened it. Maybe it would have been better if his body had rejected the change, perhaps dying was a solution to dealing with who he was, but by that time it was too late, he was already involved enough. Jack just looked at his cell phone the next morning, when he realized that it was very early and there was still a little time left to sleep, if he could do that, plus there were messages from Josh and also from Cassie. He didn't even open them, he just lay down, closed his eyes, and hoped he would forget all about it. The nightmare didn't help at all.Later, still in the morning, he didn't have time for c

    "I'm not interesting, sorry," Jack mentioned, trying to finish that subject."I disagree. Go ahead Jack, tell me what you're afraid to tell," the woman asked once again, standing facing him, making eye contact, holding his hands. "I care, and I want to know, please," she asked again. Jack analyzed the situation, he always tried not to discuss the past, but he realized that no matter how hard he tried to run away from it, it always returned somehow, apart from the fact that it was nothing so hidden, it only changed the time it would take for her to find out, and since he wanted to know so badly, he would give her what she wanted."I'm a former street gang member," he began, still uncertain about what to say. "I was in Ronan's gang, that asshole who teased me when he first got here," he continued. "I spent quite a while leading a complicated life, within that universe, that reality; doing various things, using things, causing, I was a decadent person. In a way, I still am," he confessed

    "Ah, Jack," the witch sighed, "I have lived long enough to witness the many times evil has triumphed. Not a few of them. Justice is not absolute in the universe, guys. You need to prepare yourselves because the next attack will not be so small, be careful," she warned."What are we going to do? We can't change when we want to, they have that advantage," Evan quoted. "How can we live up to it?"."That's why I have to be with you. I can change them when I want to, as long as I have enough energy to do so. So, I will be building up today, so please don't cause anything that needs my intervention," Susan requested. "Watch out for any activity from investigators or hunters. They shouldn't be long in showing up." Evan reinforced that they would try to keep them away. "I recommend that you try to train the changes, but there's no way to do that often, so keep yourselves well-fed. It's everyone's safety that's at stake," she warned. "I'll keep an eye out as long as I can. I will gather inform

    To generate the subject, Kurt asked Felice how Cassie was doing. “From what I noticed, she was doing better. I think it's from the therapy,” she replied. “In the twelve incidents, you were where?” she wanted to know, curious.“I was at the fraternization,” he replied. “Why?”“I don't remember seeing you around here,” Felice mentioned. “Anyway, Cassie had said that you and Jack had been there, helping with the decorating or something.” Kurt stared at her as if he were judging her. “Yeah, women talk about men,” she joked.“So you talk about me,” he teased. “I knew you were interested.” Felice laughed but said nothing. They continued walking through the sectors.“Watch where you're going, you turd,” a male voice said, bumping into Kurt. It was about Ronan, the troublemaker from Jack's past.“Fuck you,” Kurt cursed, without thinking of the consequences. The next instant, Ronan just turned his arm sharply and punched the boy in the face, knocking him down. Felice, startled by the scene, ap

    “You have to learn that nobody here will be afraid of you,” Evan warned him, as he watched Felice help Kurt to his feet once more. “If you want to fight that bad, you're going to come at me. Come on,” he threatened, already preparing to defend himself against any blows.“You can include me in that,” Jack said, appearing on the other side. “I hate you,” he shouted at Ronan, who didn't care to walk with him.“You hate me?”, Ronan sneered, showing bloody teeth. “Hate me for what? For accepting you into my gang? For getting you into fights, drinks, drugs, and hookers?” he said, laughing. Jack shivered with rage. At that minute, the audience was silent, now everyone knew what he had been in the past. He knew it was only a matter of time, but he didn't think it would happen that way or any similar kind. He had to face the dilemma of getting involved in the fight by risking change. It would have been an easier decision, had Kurt not been injured on the floor, and Ronan had not exposed him. T

  • CHAPTER 80 - THE END . . .?

    The truck had arrived in a sort of warehouse. There were a few gray, empty rooms. The place was quiet and there were some men already waiting for the truck. The rangers were present, the same ones who had taken care of the incidents involving wolves. This was not a good sign. When the truck arrived, one of the guys got down and went to meet the rangers.“How many did you guys get?” one of the guards asked. “Hopefully more than the other times.”“We found three gray wolves, boss,” he replied, showing respect to the man in front of him. “They're back there, sedated. Would you like to see them?” he asked. Two guards then approached the truck, where the other boys got off and opened the back, revealing the wolves, unconscious.“Do you think they're too wild?” the guard asked, taking a closer look.“This one here seemed more aggressive than the others,” the boy replied, pointing at Jack. “That one seems more docile. That other one showed up later,” he continued saying, pointing to Evan and

  • CHAPTER 79 - CASSIE

    CASSIE'S POVFelice had more stamina than I did. We ran through the woods for so long that we reached an area that had no signal. I was thinking that maybe this was not such a good idea, but my thoughts were on Jack, and I was certain that Felice's were on Kurt.We didn't know what we were looking for, we just knew that we were. I didn't know that area, and neither did Felice. We just kept walking for a while longer, eating the foods that we knew were not harmful to our health. We spotted some wild animals, but still harmless. In the background, we were waiting for Susan, so we could know where to go, although Susan didn't have a clear view of where they should be.“Do you think we'll be able to save them?”, Felice asked me, while we were still walking.“I hope there's still time to do that, to be honest. I feel like something is wrong, I can't explain it very well, but I feel like something is happening,” I replied to her.“So you feel it too?” she told me. “I was worried that I was

  • CHAPTER 78 - JACK

    JACK'S POVKurt still hadn't returned. It had been a while, so I began to think that he wouldn't show up anymore. At least that's what I assumed. Although he disappeared that night, sometimes I would wake up again and regain control. It only lasted for a very short time. I didn't have that much control. I was always well-fed. At least I made sure I at least had a sense of where I was. Still far from humans, I mean, far enough.I used to show up only in the morning. During the night, I didn't come back. My fears were still about killing someone. As I already knew, my wolf was quite capable of this, I didn't doubt anything.Once I smelled a wolf approaching. I was invisible inside my wolf, feeling and observing everything, but not making any decisions. The smell came closer and closer to me, until finally, it appeared in front of me. Evan was in front of me. I watched the gray wolf take Evan's human form. His hair had grown long and his physique remained the same. He didn't look so happ

  • CHAPTER 77 - CASSIE

    CASSIE'S POVFelice was still processing the information when I told her about Kurt. I didn't expect her to believe or accept it right away. I expected her to believe me because I needed her, as did Kurt.“Are you saying that Kurt is a wolf? That doesn't make sense,” she said. “Are you okay? Don't get me wrong, I want to believe you, Cassie,” she told me. I felt the sincerity in her words.“I can't prove it to you yet, Felice. I doubt what I know and what I've seen, but I can't deny it anymore. There is a witch in the story, and she came to see me and showed me some things that confirmed this,” I told her. “Yes, there is a witch too, excuse the confusion. I've been dreaming too, and all this has not let me live in a vacuum anymore. I want to go after Jack.”“He's an outlaw, Cassie,” she told me. “I understand you're worried, but he's a wanted man, and he's missing, no one knows where he is.”“Kurt is missing, Felice. Don't you want to know where he is?”, I asked her, trying to convinc

  • CHAPTER 76 - JACK

    JACK'S POVWolves communicate through images. As wolves, Kurt and I would just show images to each other, and most of the time we could only do this with what was around or near us. In the beginning, we were even able to share thoughts of humans, like memories. Kurt had already shown me things about Felice, and I had shown him things about Cassie. As the days went by, the tendency of human thoughts faded away. Like the rest of the situation, I didn't know if Kurt was going through the same changes. I was worried by the day.When Evan's visits stopped, Kurt and I began to migrate more territory. We even crossed a few avenues into other woods. When we realized that we were close to places we knew, we moved away. We had to forget our past. Cassie had never left my mind. Whatever happened, she always appeared again. I knew that even in that animal form, I would still remember her. I had forgotten the flavors of everything I consumed, like pizza and coffee, but her, I couldn't forget. Occa

  • CHAPTER 75 - CASSIE

    CASSIE'S POVI received an alert from the nurse minutes before Felice arrived at the clinic. Knowing that she was coming made me very anxious, as I knew that the officers would soon be there as well. I still didn't have a concrete plan, if I had a plan at all.No one knew about my current condition except the nurse. I didn't even know his name, but I was truly grateful for what little he did for me. With each minute of waiting, I became even more anxious. It had been a long time since I had spoken to her, I just listened. I wondered why I had never dared to talk to her during all the visits I made. Maybe I was the problem. Maybe I didn't trust people the way I should have. Both Jack and Felice deserved my trust. If I were Jack, I would have kept a secret like that too, for that, I couldn't blame him, although every time I remembered the dialogues with Susan I felt more and more that there was nothing to forgive in Jack. He was a good person.Felice opened my bedroom door in the most d

  • CHAPTER 74 - JACK

    JACK'S POVThe night Kurt and I switched to wolves for good, we didn't know where to go. The forest we were in seemed to be the best option. By the time everything occurred, and we moved, I felt that for the first time, I was controlling everything. I think that feeling anger was the purpose of having control over me, but if that were true, it would mean that all the times that I had lost consciousness as a wolf, it was because my wolf itself was angry. In a way, when I turned into a wolf that time, I didn't even think about it. I could feel such a strong connection with the connection between my mind, and that four-legged animal, that I didn't even think about anything else. I had total control of that body. Likewise, I wasn't a human who changed into a wolf, that day I had become a wolf that possessed the mind of a human.Kurt and I were still hunting together. In three days we had hunted so much that we already had a supply. The area was cozy and away from humans. This allowed me t

  • CHAPTER 73 - CASSIE

    CASSIE'S POVI had decided Jack. I didn't want his evilness, definitely not. What the witch (who I later found out was named Susan), showed me about Jack made me rethink attitudes. I wanted to confess everything to Felice. If she showed up to see me, I would tell her everything. Even if she didn't believe me, I would believe Jack. I had to believe in something, and at that moment the only chance to get out of that place was this way.I wasn't convinced why I had said those words to the officer, but I had. Likewise, I wondered if I had done something wrong, but what was done. I didn't like them. Nobody believed me. The incident of the twelve was too specific for them to accept my account. Only those who live through the trauma understand. Over time, one of the officers seemed more empathetic but was still only interested in the job. The impression I got from all this was that the police wanted to close the case as soon as possible. Of course, they tried to shelve the case, but the rela

  • CHAPTER 72 - JACK

    JACK'S POVWhen I ran in the skin of a wolf, I would get stuck. Part of my body seemed to have control over things, but the other part seemed completely independent. Sometimes I thought that the wolf was not me. Maybe it was something living inside me or using me. My biggest fear was losing control completely. Each time I changed, I felt as if I was losing myself. There was too much wildness in me in that form. As much as I told Evan about my strength and aggressiveness as a consequence of the smoke on the day of the incident, I wasn't being completely honest with him.When I first changed, I could already feel the aura of the body being different. I thought that my lack of body control was because it was the first time, but for the other changes, I realized that it was not. I had no control over everything I did.Before I met Kurt, I had already had some blackouts. Several times I would change and just blink my eyes, and it would be another day. I could feel my body aching, so I knew
