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
The full moon finally came to an end with the infinite growlers' growth towards their main goal, an unknown piece appearing on their chessboard.Zane had finally healed up, Alex saw this and went up to mark, he glared at him for minutes, finally saying a word, “Mark right?” he asked.“Yes!” Mark answered nervously, he still couldn't take Alex's scent off, it was just so intoxicating.“You seem to know a lot about my kind” he said as he stared deep into Mark's eyes. “I mean no harm” Mark stuttered, “Nothing more than interest, I swear” he said as he staggered backward, losing balance, but he was caught by Alex before he fell. Mark was stunned as Alex's hand wrapped around his waist.“Want to join the pack?” Alex asked.“Yeah, I mean I'd if there is a way without getting myself bitten” he said, twitching his mouth.Alex scoffed, dragging mark up, “You've always being nervous around me, feel free” he whispered softly into his ears.“You are smart,” Alex said.“I'm not smart, I just wear
