The Dawn Falls Chapter 28
Chapter 28Mila did not lie in telling me that the two of us are the same. We have the same goals. Justice and the truth. For now, she’s my other half—my partner. She needed me, to the same degree how I needed her. We both decided that I will only visit her when I have an update or at least once a month. We don’t have a time frame for our plan. It’s better to conduct it safely and carefully.By Saturday, we had another physical training. I felt stronger than before though my muscles were gushing with pain and soreness. They were roaring, wanting to escape from the pain. I never had physical training or even work out intensely before. My body wasn’t used to that. I already told Chaz about it but he wasn’t listening. Everyone, even the newbie, got hard on themselves earlier.I realize I might grow abs with our training. When I was in middle school, it had always been my wish to have abs. High school women that are passing by our house were sexy and have abs. I’ve been promising myself s

Chapter 29Angelo liking me was the most hilarious thing I heard in the past few weeks. It’s not that Angelo is ugly—he was damn attractive, kind, a literal boy-next-door type since he’s my neighbor. I admit that he’s likable. But what am I? I’m just a half-blood and he’s a pure werewolf. A type who wasn’t interesting at all.I never had the chance to ask him what are his reasons for why he liked me. I wish it was a joke, but he looked so serious about it. If I let myself attach to the thought, I wouldn’t be able to focus. My goal was to find the ones who killed my parents and help Mila, who’s still on the verge of thinking that the alpha was the one who killed hers. I wasn’t here to break my virginity and have a relationship.Chaz let us grab a set of bow and arrows. I never knew I would be practicing archery. If I would be part of a school’s sports team, I’ll join cross country and not freaking archery. This time, we had to learn it as a weapon. I don’t know what’s the point with th

CHAPTER 30“Gwen, can I take a look at your essay on history? I badly need inspiration,” Aki said. We’re inside the library, one of the safest places if we wanted silence and peace while studying and making our assignments. We had to make an essay about the cold war and it’s due in our class later. I don’t know why Aki did not make his assignment at home.“What if I don’t want to? You’ve been playing video games most of the time when you’re at home, and now you’re telling me you don’t have an essay that’s due a few hours from now?”“Gwen, I’m sorry. It’s just I don’t have the motivation to study? Who does?” They both glanced at me. The person who finished her assignments earlier than the due, who always perfect her quizzes and tests, and was complimented by the teacher most of the time. “Of course, it’s Catherine. Now I wonder if humans are more capable of learning than werewolves.”“I just like it. I love learning,” I said. And I also love to pass UCLA or Yale to leave this freaking

CHAPTER 31I knew I can’t ignore Gelo all throughout my life. He was my best friend in this town. Should I say we’re best friends though we just met a few months ago? But that’s what I feel! It doesn’t matter if he likes me. We can stay what we are after what happened.Gelo must be at home. He wasn’t the type of guy who will play basketball outside or in the nearby town. And of course, he wasn’t the same guy who will party all night and sleep inside his friend’s place. He’s a guy who is disciplined enough to go home on his own, without Nana reminding him.I was in my uniform when I left the house. Felix and Jay reminded me for the hundredth time that I should be at home before the evening arrives as if I’m a kid who wouldn’t listen to them. Maybe I am. Just a little bit.Gelo almost stumbled when he opened the door for me. He wasn’t expecting me to knock on their door, right?He’s wearing the men’s uniform of our school. He’s ready to go except for his hair which looked like tangled w
The Dawn Falls Chapter 32
CHAPTER 32The first thing we did in school was to solve a difficult Math problem about interest and discounts. I don’t hate Math. But I also don’t prioritize it.In university, my major would be either communications or literature. I love reading and studying books and maybe I could articles. Certainly, I will not take a degree that has a Mathematics major subject. That’s not what I want.Since our teacher wasn’t present inside the classroom, most of my classmates copies answers from one another. Kajik, one my classmates, even threaten others to give him answers. He was not a beta yet he dares to bully others.I saw Aki asking Gwen questions. They were friends for a very long time and I understand why Gwen was giving him answers. I don’t refrain from cheating and copying answers when it comes to my activities. That wouldn’t satisfy me and I label it as wrong.Gwen, Aki, and I finished at the same time so we left the room. Some of our classmates were begging for answers but our teache
The Dawn Falls Chapter 33
CHAPTER 33“Back off,” Mila told me. We paced backward, avoiding the werewolves coming for us. She held her machete and her eyes stared strong at the wolves. We’re being outnumbered. I don’t have the strength to fight any of them. I should’ve not gotten myself in this place at this time.The wolves started to growl, hungry for taste, and passionate for blood. I almost scratched my arms. My body trembled into fear. What can we do now? Mila’s a human; she doesn’t have the strength of a werewolf. I’m a half-blood who was not ready to turn into a wolf.I’m gonna die!“Catherine!” Mila screamed and tried to attack two of the wolves. We split. She’s on the right side of her house, in the kitchen, while I was in the living room with two other wolves trying to make me prey.Mila has a weapon. I don’t have any. I crawled backward as my eyes traveled back and forth to the wolves and to the things inside Mila’s house. She should’ve not left me alone. How can I fight these two alone?Werewolves g
The Dawn Falls Chapter 34
CHAPTER 34When I woke up, it felt like amnesia hit me. I can’t remember anything from the last night. I transformed into a wolf and I am not sure what happened after that. But my body was tired—nope—exhausted. I can’t get myself up from my bed. I wanted to sleep more but my mind was already awake.I got up from my bed. My body was numb and it can’t feel anything right now. I fixed my freaking bed mindlessly. Maybe it’s because of exhaustion and sleepiness. And I don’t like procrastinating on making my bed.I looked into the mirror. What had I done last night? How the fuck did I transform into a wolf? Was it because of anger?I went down to the kitchen. Weird. My brothers weren’t here. I’m all alone? Nope. Maybe they’re inside their room or visiting Nana again. Why would they visit Nana? She wasn’t dying or such.I drank a whole glass of water. My dry lips turned wet. I inhaled the stale air and reminisce what happened last night.I went to Mila’s place to update her. The sunset and t
The Dawn Falls Chapter 35
CHAPTER 35Royal blood means being part of the royal family. A princess, queen, or king. Hell no! My parents adopted me but I don’t believe I’m a princess of a hidden kingdom in this country. And there’s even no kingdom in here. Gelo must be wrong about what he was thinking.I looked for more articles on the web. Suddenly, I have this obsession with searching about the royal family, which were mostly in Europe. Some rules are deadly. For an instance, no one was allowed to touch a princess from this country or they’ll die. It is indeed scary to get myself involved with a person with royal blood but it’s crazier to think that I have royal blood.I clicked on my twelfth article for the day about the princes of this particular country. Why do princes in books be so handsome and hot while in real life, they're far from handsome? They don’t even look good. Why do ladies want to marry them?Maybe it’s because of the wealth and the power and not love. I only read these kinds of books for the

FINAL CHAPTER
FINAL CHAPTERScreams of wolves, whispers of blood, and cries of battle filled in the dawn. My forces, my alliance, the good side of the war is about to win. I did not expect the amount of minions and troops that my father has. He has a lot, almost outnumbering us.I noticed they weren’t trained enough. Some of them were forced. One was a teenage guy whom Gelo spared a life because the guy explained he was scared of what the alpha might do to their family so he unleashes in the fight. However, some are straight-up evil. Just like the alpha, they believed that this is fun. A wholesome entertainment until I came upon and slit their throat with my slasher claws.I’m a bit tired. If this wasn’t a huge fight, I would’ve opted for a coffee break. I need that. Just like how I crave it when I’m reading a book at the very late hours of the night. But no, there’s no way I could until this ends.The alpha is gone. He’s missing. One of the troops, now dead, said the alpha’s family already fled o

Chapter 60
Chapter 60As the sun falls into the horizon, the people, or should I say the werewolves, of the town of Dusk and Dawn starts to gather at our place. Tonight the alpha’s madness will end. Tonight, everything will be more normal and free. No more threats and darkness. Only good, light, and life.“We’ll become a victor,” Jay told me while he was in the process of wearing the protective gear Nana personally made for him and Mom. They were the only humans to fight. Heroes, I believe. “It felt like I’m going in a fantasy war with these yet I have a small knife instead of a sword.”“It’s sharp though,” I said, trying the knife on my skin. A little more pressure and it will cut my skin. Nana told them to their brains or the heart. This knife will surely pierce through those body parts. “I’m scared.”“On what aspect?”“To fail. I have planned this. I have committed to this. The scary news is that it is really gonna happen.”Jay faced me and touched my face using his palms. “Darkness won’t end

Chapter 59
Chapter 59Gelo wasn’t talking or even showing up to me for days. I hate that it happens because I love talking to him. In this town, he is my favorite person to talk to. My best friend. My boyfriend. But I do understand why. His father died. Another person in his family died. And as far as I know, his greatest fear is losing a person who’s been a huge part of his life.I swear I wanted to talk to tell him I’ll be by his side no matter what happens. I’ve been through what he’d been through before. I lost three important people in my life. Then I found out how fucked up my life is. Being the daughter of the worst man on the planet.“It wasn’t your fault,” Gwen told me when she came over to visit. “You didn’t do anything. It’s just it is that bastard who kills almost anyone.”She wrapped me in her presence. I’ve been longing for this feeling. Gwen is the only female friend I have in this town. I don’t know if I can treat Stacy and other women the same. Gwen listens. It’s just we rarely

Chapter 58
Chapter 58“Mom.” I smiled at my mother who died months ago. “Dad.” And to my father who died with her the same night. “I’m sorry if I broke your rule of consulting you out before having a boyfriend. But I have one.”I expected them to throw killer grin at me. I expected them to shout at me for breaking their rule. In the neighborhood I lived in, it is normal for teenagers my age to date a whole set of men. My parents were different. They won’t let me unless I tell them. Maybe my brothers were the only exception, or maybe I am the exception to this neighborhood’s culture.I opened the door so Gelo could enter. He wore his wide and happy smile as he greets my parents on a very nice day. We all sat on the couch, everyone has their own teacup of the hibiscus tea my parents like to bring whenever they’re on a vacation from different states.We all chattered even though I couldn’t understand anything. We were just… talking. Nonstop. My parents seemed so happy to finally meet Angelo. It all

CHAPTER 57This could have been my perfect date with my boyfriend, who happens to be my only best friend in this town. I thought that the place Gelo picked is a safe one. It happens that the alpha is going to be here, ruining my fucking date.He grinned like he wins a reality television show where the father caught his daughter dating someone he doesn’t want to. Why does he always think he’s winning? Why does he’s always the one with power? Is it because he is the leader of the werewolf pack in this town? Or because he is a man?Just because he’s a man, it doesn’t mean he can claim everything he wants.He can never take me away from the family that took care of me. He already killed my brother, Mom, and Dad.After all, he never became a father to me.“What are you doing here?” I asked. Galo rushed behind me. He touched and caressed my hand which somehow calmed my system. The man in front of us is the one who ruined lives in this one. The antagonist of everyone’s story and I don’t nee

Chapter 56
CHAPTER 56Gelo asked me on a date! I feel like a normal teenager asked by her long-time crush to go on a date. I never knew what a date feels like. I badly wanted to experience the right person.A perfect date in my head is when a person waits for you outside your house with his fancy car and a bouquet of roses and chocolates in his hand. That’s romantic, even in books.But reality struck me. After fixing myself on my spring-themed dress, I got down to face Angelo. He didn’t bring any bouquet of roses, just a stem on his hand and neither he has a car as well. But that’s love. Neither person or date is perfect. The world was just cruel to provide that for us.I do love Angelo, that’s the only thing that matters for now.“You’re going on a date?” Mom asked me. She pretends to be the evil stepmother who will do anything so the princess could not go on a date. “You’re not even asking me and telling me everything.”“I swear I forgot. Ever since I came here, Angelo’s been the person who we

CHAPTER 55“Chaz! Chaz!” I rushed to Chaz’s house the next day. He should know what we are planning and I know he’s going to join us. He’s one of those I knew who was wronged by the alpha so badly.Chaz didn’t answer. I was so excited to enter his house without knocking. Gladly, it wasn’t locked.The house smelled plain. I saw Chaz making out with Kaz in their living room. Holy shit! My innocent eyes! “Oh, Catherine. Can’t you knock for once?” Chaz said. “You came to bother us.” He stood up from the sofa, as well as Kaz. They only have their boxers on their bodies. I faced my back to them and waited to wear their clothes. “I’m gonna sue you next time. You can face us now.”“I’m sorry. I was just too excited to see you. I forgot that the last time I got here, you were doing the same with Kaz. I promise not to do it again.”“Don’t promise things you can’t accomplish, kid. So what’s with your commotion on ruining my morning sex with the love of my life?”I told him the story. What he ne

CHAPTER 54Their jaws dropped. They didn’t expect what I’ve said. But that’s the very best thing that I know that could benefit everyone. Not just me but every family who lost someone because of the alpha.“The alpha killed Mom, Dad, and Felix. He killed more people from what we knew. He manipulates people. He’s using his power.”“But you’re not a killer, Catherine!” That’s the first time Jay shouted at me. “Do not let your instrusive thoughts to ruin you. You can’t become this kind of person. I know you’re not like that.”“Cath, as much as I want to kill that man. As much as I want to give him waht he deserves, I don’t want my only daughter to become a killer. You can’t hold a knife and just kill somebody. Please.”“I talked to him last night.”Spoons clattered on plates when I said that. Gelo almost choke himself as well. Maybe telling them the truth will make them understand my point more. I have to tell them this now. I know the alpha. He won’t stop getting what he wants until he

Chapter 53
CHAPTER 53I shouldn’t feel bad about what I did to my father, but why I am crying on my way back home? It was midnight and it was cold, so I could feel the tears warming up my face. I never longed for a father, even before. My past Mom and Dad were there. I never feel any complications in our relationship. I felt full. I felt loved.But when I saw him when he touch him. I felt a pang inside my chest. This man is my father. And this man killed the ones I loved. It wasn’t because I want us to be a complete family. We can’t be like that. My heart aches because the truth is my father is a killer. And I have to live with that truth until the day that I die. It wasn’t a history to tell. It’s a carved mark on my identity.Although there wasn’t any noise on my way, I don’t feel that everything is silent and quiet. My mind was attacking me with all of my thoughts. What are Mom and Alpha living better? What if they got to each other? What if the mess didn’t happen? What if Mom, Dad, and Felix
