The Dawn Falls Chapter 31
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

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

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
The Dawn Falls Chapter 36
Chapter 36“Catherine, you didn’t tell us that you transformed into a wolf when you passed out that night,” Felix’s voice was angry. I thought Nana told them already. I thought it wasn’t necessary to tell them about that.Jay threw a tense glare at me. I never saw him look at me like that. Yes, I was used to Felix doing that. But Jay? He was never mad at me. He would be the one who will assist me with everything that I needed to do. He’ll support me. He’ll defend me from our oldest brother. But now, he hated me for not telling them.“I didn’t lie,” I said. “I thought you already knew. I thought Nana already told you when you visited the last time.”“Nana wasn’t at the place where you collapsed. Gelo lied to us. He said that a group of wolves attacked you and you passed out of fear. He didn’t tell us you transformed into a wolf and decided to save everyone. He didn’t say you almost sacrifice your life for these strangers not until the woman you were with chattered to us.” Felix sounded

CHAPTER 37Nana successfully convinced my brothers to stay in the town of Dusk and Dawn. They also talked about Gelo being my lover. Nana helped to fix Gelo’s image on my brothers. She explained thoroughly that Gelo doesn’t have a bad intention for me. I thought we were going to leave this town. Nana was right. No one can predict and stop what’s going to happen next. It’s like a prophecy.“I’m sorry,” I told Felix when I entered their room. “I didn’t mean to say those things. We all lost Mom and Dad and I’m the worst person for invalidating your feelings.”Felix caressed my hair, then he kissed my forehead. “It’s fine. I’m sorry for shouting at you and almost hurting you physically. What you said broke my heart and made me think that I’m a worthless brother to you. All I did was to do my best to protect you.”“I hate myself.”“Don’t hate yourself. Love it just like how much we love you.” Felix wrapped his arms around me. “You’re right. The truth lies here. Mom and Dad have a reason wh
The Dawn Falls Chapter 38
CHAPTER 38The way home was much cleaner than before. There were lesser trash and rotten leaves on the ground. The road hits our shoes much smoother. I haven’t seen anyone cleaning the way, maybe they are doing it when it’s 3 AM or 4 AM just like what we have in our previous place on Mondays.I was a few inches behind Gelo. I could see his dazzling eyes and sun-slicked hair. I’ve said a lot of times before that he was gorgeous. Maybe I can say it one more time right now. It’s not his face why I liked him. It’s more than that.“So… How are you?” he asked.“What kind of question is that? We’re neighbors and you might know everything about me from this point. Am I not telling you that much?”“You are. But I’ve never heard from you since yesterday. Nana told me you almost left the town, but she said it was your story to tell that’s why she wasn’t speaking to me about it. So I’m asking you what happened.”“My brothers got mad at me transforming into a wolf and also us being so-called lover
