Santiano felt sweat dripping off his body, and he instinctively touched his face, realizing he was completely drenched. He stood there, unable to speak, and bowed in silence.Vampires flooded into the room, as if they were feeling oppressed. Mr. Rodriguez turned his head and saw all of them pushing through the door.A soft smile appeared on his lips as he slightly tilted his head."I think it's been a while since you all experienced my wrath. How about I start with you?" he said, pointing towards Santiano.Santiano closed his eyes, knowing there was no going back. His eyes glowed red, aware that the only way to resist Mr. Rodriguez's attacks was to use his full powers. He knew Mr. Rodriguez wouldn't stop once he had someone marked.Santiano's face grew pale when he heard the next words."Think I want to do it myself? No! They would," after he spoke, all the vampires present dashed towards Santiano with intense killing intent.Santiano, being the second strongest vampire after Lila, wo
Here it is, another bright morning. They all woke up in their respective houses with bright smiles etched on their faces.Fiona rolled in her bed inside her luxuriously designed pinkish room, same as the rest.Thrain and the others arrived at school, greeting each other as if it were a new season and a new beginning. The classes went well and ended with an assignment, and the usual student reactions remained unchanged.Outside the school building, Thrain stood in front of them all: Fiona, Ethan, and Mark.Mark, on the other hand, had decided not to participate in any activities. Instead, he chose to expand his knowledge and gather information about their kind, hoping to be of help in a different and unique way.Thrain interjected, claiming that there was a reason for everything and that was why Mark was presently with them."I think you're all ready?" Thrain asked with a smile on his face."Yes, we are!" they responded with enthusiasm, making Thrain's head swell."You guys are then re
Thrain strolled along the deserted pathway of the school, his senses sharpened as his instincts resembling those of a wolf kicked in. Aware of being observed, he could sense the gazes of his fellow classmates fixed upon him. This had become a routine occurrence since the moment he had unraveled his true nature as a werewolf. Previously, he had always sensed a disconnect, but now the reason behind it was made clear to him.As he walked, he caught sight of a cluster of boys gathered closely, engaged in hushed conversations and occasionally casting furtive glances in his direction. Hastening his steps, he couldn't shake off the burden of their penetrating gazes following him from behind. Throughout his life, he had always been susceptible to being targeted by bullies, but ever since undergoing his transformation, the intensity of these assaults had escalated to a point where he scarcely could control his urge to unleash his fury and dismantle them.Thrain tried to ignore them and focus on
"Good morning! I hope you're feeling good now?" Mark said, staring down at Thrain as he sat next to him.Thrain looked at Mark as if he were some sort of seer. Mark understood the look on his face. "Well, you told me before you left for home yesterday."Finally, Thrain let out a sigh of relief as he adjusted well in his seat and took out a book. "Man! Have you done Mr. Thomas' assignment?" he asked Mark immediately as he remembered."Yeah," Mark replied, staring down at him."Please, let me have it."Mark sighed and opened up the zip to his bag, taking out his assignment notebook. As soon as Thrain caught a glimpse of it, he grabbed it from him."Come to think of it, you left school very early yesterday and you're yet to do your assignment? This is the first year, and you are already slacking off," Thrain kept continuing to write without paying much attention to what Mark had just said."You aren't answering my questions, man!""Okay, okay, the thing was... I don't know, but yesterday
Mark and Thrain ventured deep into the woods, following the trail left by Fiona's car. The trail seemed endless and tiring, leading them further away from their destination. The eerie silence of the woods, broken only by rustling leaves and chirping crickets, sent shivers down their spines.Suddenly, a rabbit darted out, causing Mark to freeze in fear before realizing it was harmless. They finally spotted the car in the distance and approached it cautiously. Thrain rushed towards the door, eager to open it, but Mark stopped him in his tracks."Are you crazy? Do you want to get me in trouble?" Mark exclaimed, pulling out four pairs of gloves from his school bag.Thrain looked at Mark, puzzled by his actions. "Gloves? Are you insane?" Thrain questioned."You can't just touch things without caution. If we don't find them both and the case escalates, the police will get involved. If your fingerprints are found on the car, you could be seen as an accomplice. In the worst-case scenario, if t
Thrain was a well-seasoned player, known for his speed, strength, and cunning on the rugby field ever since middle school. He'd been holding back ever since he discovered he was a werewolf.Thrain felt the familiar excitement of anticipation as he sat in the locker room before the rugby match. He looked at himself in the mirror, checking his rugby gear and making sure everything was in place. A teammate of his, Mark, approached him."Hey Thrain, you're looking pretty pumped for the game. Are you ready to do this?" Mark asked.Thrain nodded eagerly, "Yeah, man! I've been waiting for this match for weeks. I really think we can take this team down."Mark smiled, "That's the spirit! But listen, I wanted to talk to you about something. I noticed that you seem to be holding back on the field lately. Isn't it time for you to give it your all?"LAST NIGHTThrain stared blankly. "How the fuck did we get here?" he said as he could see his house from afar."Were you not the one claiming to want t
Thrain looked at Mark, realizing he was already lost in Alex's appearance."Aren't you the one always watching me?" Thrain asked."What!" Mark was astonished. An alpha was known to be stronger than anyone other than the zeta in a pack, but my research never stated them to be this stunning, he thought as blushes began to form on his cute face."Well, now that you know, I'll get straight to the point. The full moon..." Alex said, looking straight into Thrain's eyes, "is in two days' time.""Yeah, I know about that. Mark told me already," Thrain replied."You... you aren't a werewolf," Alex said, getting closer, barely an inch away from Mark.Mark could no longer think of anything apart from Alex's scent. It was arousing."Yeah, I'm human, and I promise to keep it safe until I die. No amount of torture will coerce me into speaking a word," Mark replied, barely holding himself. "Damn! His lips are goddamn close to me," he thought.Alex smiled, knowing Mark was nervous since he could hear M
"Are you with Thrain, Mark?" Alex asked."No," Mark replied, sounding unsure. "I've tried calling him, but he's not picking up. Why do you ask?""Ethan said he was waiting for him," Alex explained."Wait! Where the fuck are you calling from?" Mark asked, trying to figure out Ethan's location."Obviously, I'm calling from the woods," Ethan replied."If Alex hasn't seen Thrain, then... he's in danger," they both concluded."Hey man! Send me your location, and I'll be there as soon as possible." Mark's phone beeped as he picked up the pace after receiving the location. "Mom! I'll be back," Mark shouted as he dashed out of the house.Mr. Harrison removed the newspaper from his face and watched as Mark hurriedly left the house. "Isn't Mark slowly becoming just like you? Leaving home around midnight? For Christ's sake, today is a special day."Thrain's howl echoed throughout the area. "Finally, I found you," he said as he transformed into a humanoid wolf, increasing his speed as he sprinted
Here it is, another bright morning. They all woke up in their respective houses with bright smiles etched on their faces.Fiona rolled in her bed inside her luxuriously designed pinkish room, same as the rest.Thrain and the others arrived at school, greeting each other as if it were a new season and a new beginning.

"You failed your mission... Why?" the head of the exterminators asked.Katie, with her head lowered, replied, "I didn't expect the wolf to have ties with the Infinite Growlers, the two brothers, to be precise.""The two brothers?""Yes, Alex and the lost one," she said."And how do you know he is the one?" he asked, curiosity etched on his face as he slowly took a puff."They both had the mark of the FIRST, although it was barely noticeable. But I knew it because you recite their story to me.""Oh! You remembered, and Foster never ceases to amaze me. 'THE FIRST,' huh.""First mission accomplished!" he exclaimed, hitting the table with his hand."But father!" Katie exclaimed."The information you just gave me could be classified as SSR+. Now there are only six of the most strongest supernaturals.""Foster, The Rodriguez, Alex, Thrain, and the third strongest remains hidden, with his intentions unknown.""So, Foster, the one we met, is the strongest, right? While The Rodriguez is the st
Katie threw her elbow towards Alex's jaw, but it seemed she had underestimated him. He didn't budge at all and managed to break free from her hold.As her eyes met Alex's, Katie immediately glanced at Thrain, feeling a sense of tension between them. She let out a sigh and said, "What a sight, seeing brothers together. But don't think I'll let you guys go like that."Thrain, puzzled by the repeated mention of "brother," slowly unbuttoned his shirt and dropped it to the ground.Alex looked at Thrain closely, sensing his anger simmering beneath his calm demeanor.Thrain directed his attention back to Katie and asked, "Your name?""Katie," she replied.Upon hearing the name, Alex felt a flicker of recognition, but couldn't quite place it."Wondering why I took off my clothes, Katie?" Thrain said with a hint of sarcasm. Without wasting any time, he dashed towards Katie, engaging her in hand-to-hand combat.Surprised by Thrain's skill and proficiency, Katie reached into her inner strap and
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
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
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
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,
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,
