Lila woke up frozen in fear at the sight of her father. She knew there was no escape route after losing in a fight with Thrain, although she didn't regret her actions since it was solely her decision."What happened here?" he repeated himself.They all froze in fear as they began to shriek at the sound of his voice."Since there is no one here to give a response, how about starting with you," he said, addressing Santiano.Santiano immediately went down on one knee as he began to explain things to Rodriguez.Mr. Rodriguez laughed hysterically. "Who knew my student is capable of this much?" he mumbled.They all heard what he said, but a confused look was etched on their faces, not understanding what he meant by 'my student'.…"Thrain, you're yet to tell us how you got this strong in just three months... I also want to get stronger," Ethan said.Thrain looked up and said softly, "It's almost dawn?"He glanced at Ethan and said, "You want to get stronger, but do you have the resolve to w
The class ended as usual with an assignment, and the entire class couldn't help but express their frustration. "Not again!" they blurted out.Mrs. Emily Anderson suddenly freaked out, not used to such an uproar from her students. "I hope everything is alright?" she asked, concerned.A student named Derek stood up, blushing slightly, and said, "Yes, Mrs. Anderson, but the issue is the assignment. Our classroom has always been loaded with assignments in the past. And now, you're adding even more, which is becoming a problem.""Oh! Alright, let's do it this way. I'll suspend the next assignment," she said with a soft smile."What! There was going to be another one?" another student exclaimed."There is no way I would call it teaching if I didn't give you guys assignments. Besides, you're grown-ups and shouldn't be freaked out by assignments. And I've already handed them out, so they can't be revoked," Mrs. Anderson explained.Derek sat back down, letting out a sigh of relief. Mrs. Emily
"My objective is quite simple. All I want is a détente between the wolves and vampires," he said with a smile."Huh!" they all exclaimed. They were expecting him to say something with an evil ideal attached, but what they heard was totally impossible."But, you know that's not possible, right?" Mark asked."Obviously, I know, but I'm not one to back down whenever I've gotten myself involved. In addition, I've found the perfect weapon to unleash this deadly idea," he said, turning his gaze to Thrain."What! Is that the reason behind you training Thrain to this extent? And how do you expect that to happen? The vampires giving up to absolute strength in the infinite growlers or war?" Ethan asked."I have my approach, so don't bother yourself and just get stronger so you won't be cleared alongside the wave," he said, smiling."But why would you want the vampires and werewolves to be on friendly terms? You know this war and hatred have been flaming for decades. What exactly is the reason b
The doorbell rang continuously as Thrain's mom became enraged. "Who's pressing the doorbell this frantically late at night?" she thought."Thrain!" she shouted, calling for his attention from downstairs. "Do you have a visitor today?" she asked."Uhm, no," he replied, walking down the stairs in his clean white singlet and clean shorts."Well, go check who's at the door. And yeah, while you're at it, get me a chilled water for the freezer," she said."Okay, Mom," he responded.As soon as he reached the door, the doorbell was pressed again. "Would you hold on," he shouted as he opened the door."What! Mark, but... I never thought it would be tonight. And what's with all the books and the travel bag? I hope you aren't staying here forever?" he asked, looking perplexed.Mark realized that Thrain had become taller and more muscular since they last saw each other. Annoyed, Mark stood up and spoke slowly and softly, "Would you rather feed me with questions than invite me in?""Oh! I'm sorry,
The next morning, Mark woke up feeling very exhausted. He yawned and looked around, only to see Thrain sweating profusely on the floor as he continued his push-ups.Lost in thought, Mark wondered why Thrain was pushing himself so hard, but he was brought back to reality by Thrain's voice."You're awake! I hope you had a nice night using my bed?" Thrain teased."Yeah, good morning. Your bed was fantastic, really soft and comfy, but what happened to the fresh breeze? It felt really hot throughout the night," Mark replied."Well, how do you expect me to notice that? I don't feel cold or hot, just an irregular temperature compared to normal humans, so I sold both the ceiling fan and standing fan," Thrain explained."What about your mom?" Mark asked, feeling concerned."You don't have to worry about that. She doesn't come into my room, so she won't notice," Thrain reassured him.Suddenly, Thrain felt a presence, then in an instant, it was gone."Let's get ready for school or we'll be late,
Mark and Thrain entered the school, greeted their friends, and met up with Ethan and Fiona. After their classes were over, they all went for lunch together.Thrain said goodbye to the others, promising he would come back for them later, and headed towards the piano academy. When he opened the door to the practice room, he was captivated by the sight of a beautiful lady playing a melodious tune on the piano. He sat down next to her and played in sync with her.After they finished playing, she asked him, "What took you so long?"Thrain replied, "I skipped school for three months because I didn't want any issues involving my mom. I'm really sorry for everything."Lila turned towards him, her eyes teary. Thrain realized he had missed his dear friend."I know I put you in a dangerous situation, but I couldn't leave my friends," he said softly.Lila asked, "How are things progressing on your side?"Thrain responded, "They're going smoothly, but we still need someone we can trust from your
Ten minutes ago.Thrain ran straight for the school, knowing that Ethan would likely be there even after the piano academy closed. As he arrived at the school, he mind-linked with Ethan.{“Ethan, where are you?”}Ethan immediately received the message and replied almost instantly.{“I'm inside the library's reading room.”}{“What's your situation?”}{“Not looking good. I'm surrounded by six werewolves, and two of them seem eager to kill me.”}Alex and Fiona also mind-linked with Ethan and Thrain.{“Are you guys alright?”} Alex asked.{“Things aren't looking too good here.”} Ethan replied.{“Make a soft howl, and I'll locate you.”} Alex said....Ethan appeared slightly more relaxed and responded, “A pack always walks together, so who said I was alone!”The six werewolves became wary as suddenly Thrain, Alex, Zane, and Fiona appeared seemingly out of nowhere.Zena stepped forward and spoke softly, “If you want to touch one of my betas, you'll have to go through me first.”Thrain approa
An old man sat in a cramped office, a cigarette hanging from his mouth. His leg was propped up on the table, and on the brown surface lay a gun, stun gun, and scattered silver bullets.He exhaled a puff of smoke and spoke softly, "Katie, I think it's time for you to gain real experience. Intense training alone won't guarantee your position as the next heir. What do you think?" His voice carried a thick, husky tone."I'll go, and I'll be sure to accomplish my task!" she replied confidently.He took another drag of his cigarette and stood up. Walking towards Katie, he gently rubbed her cheek. The old man smiled and asked, "How's your left eye?""It's taking time, but it is gradually healing," she answered."Do you resent me?" he inquired."Nope, I have no reason to do that. Everything is for my own sake, resenting you would be committing a sin," she replied sincerely.The old man let out a sigh as he walked towards the door, placing his hands on the handle. "There's a werewolf going ram
