Chapter: 13As the class gathered for their project presentations, James and Anne took the stage first, ready to share their research on the Silver Moonflower. Standing tall and elegant, they began their presentation with confidence.“Good morning, everyone! Today, Anne and I will be presenting our project on the Silver Moonflower,” James announced, his voice clear and authoritative. “This rare and mystical flower holds deep significance in werewolf folklore and mythology.”Anne nodded in agreement, her eyes bright with enthusiasm. “That’s right! The Silver Moonflower is believed to bloom only under the light of a full moon, making it a symbol of transformation and the supernatural. In werewolf lore, it is said that the Silver Moonflower’s petals possess healing properties, especially for werewolves.”James continued, “In ancient werewolf mythology, the Silver Moonflower was associated with lunar deities and werewolf rituals. It was believed that the flower’s essence could enhance a werewolf’s po

Chapter: 12Esmeray spent the night in the unfamiliar surroundings of Xerxes’ tribe. Despite the exhaustion and confusion that clouded her mind, she found it difficult to sleep. Her thoughts were a jumble of questions and uncertainties, and the events of the past day replayed in her mind like a vivid dream.Xerxes had insisted on sending her home, but Esmeray couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to their encounter than he was letting on. She couldn’t deny the strange connection she felt with him, a connection that seemed to transcend mere words or actions.As dawn broke, Xerxes appeared at the entrance of the makeshift shelter where Esmeray had spent the night. His tall, imposing figure was bathed in the soft light of the rising sun, casting a golden glow around him. His dark hair was tousled from sleep, and his piercing blue eyes seemed to hold a depth of emotion that Esmeray couldn’t quite decipher.“I must take my leave now,” Xerxes said, his voice low and gravelly. “But before I go,

Chapter: 11“Hah! Hah! Hah!” Esmeray’s uneven breathing did not stop her from running faster than usual. She trod on the leaves, and they crunched and crackled under her feet.She was rushing through the woods; she felt like her blood would pop at any time out of so much tension and fear; she was alone, in the middle of the woods, while raining and lost.The sky was pitch black; she could manage the cold and wet weather, but not the fact that she was running for her life right now. The trees howled and rattled in the south, which was the opposite of where she was heading, making it more complicated to breathe.Thirsty rogues were behind her; she didn’t even know why, of all wolves, she’ll be the luckiest dumb to be hunted by those three fuckers.“Come on, wolf! Suffice our thirst!” someone said; she bet that’s the tallest rogue among them.“We can smell you, no matter how fast and far you run!”“Damn it, am I that stinky to them?” she mumbled underneath her breath.However, the thought that she m

Chapter: 10The sun had just begun its ascent over the horizon, casting a warm glow over the school grounds as Esmeray and Calliyah made their way to class. Their school, nestled amidst the towering trees of the forest, was a haven for wolves like them, a place where they could learn to harness their abilities and embrace their true nature.As they walked, Esmeray and Calliyah chatted excitedly about the day ahead. “I can’t believe we’re finally going on our first field assignment,” Calliyah exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. “I’ve been looking forward to this for weeks!”Esmeray nodded, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips. “Me too. I can’t wait to see what Mrs. Kalida has in store for us.”Their conversation was cut short as they approached their classroom, where Mrs. Kalida was already waiting for them. The air was charged with a sense of excitement and nervous energy as the students gathered around, eager to hear what their teacher had planned for them.“Good morning, clas

Chapter: 9The air was crisp with the scent of pine and damp earth as the night descended upon the forest. Esmeray and her family, accompanied by Sevena, made their way through the dense foliage to a clearing where an ancient stone altar stood bathed in moonlight. It was the eve of their ancestors’ death anniversary, a solemn occasion that held deep significance for their family.As they approached the altar, Sevena took her place at the center, her presence commanding reverence. She was the matriarch of their family, a powerful werewolf with centuries of wisdom and strength coursing through her veins. Her eyes, a piercing shade of amber, held a quiet intensity as she prepared to lead the ritual.“Tonight, we gather to honor the spirits of our ancestors,” Sevena began, her voice carrying a solemn tone that echoed through the clearing. “They have guided us and watched over us, and tonight, we pay tribute to their memory.”Jarvis, Liberty, and Levi gathered around Sevena, each carrying a small off

Chapter: 8As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the courtyard, Esmeray sat alone on the bench, her thoughts consumed by the day’s events. The sense of unease that had settled over her since her imprisonment had only deepened, and she found herself grappling with the weight of uncertainty once again. As she sat in silence, fragments of memories began to surface in her mind. They were fleeting and disjointed, like pieces of a puzzle that refused to fit together. She saw flashes of unfamiliar faces and places, accompanied by a sense of familiarity that she couldn’t explain. Lost in thought, she barely noticed as Levi approached, his usual easygoing demeanor replaced by a look of concern. “Esme,” he said softly, taking a seat beside her. “Are you alright?” Esmeray forced a smile, though it didn’t quite reach her eyes. “I’m fine, Levi. Just trying to make sense of everything that’s happened.” Levi nodded, his expression serious. “It’s a lot to take in, I know. But you’r

Chapter: 7Three days had gone like eternityI still can't forget what the doctor said that night, when I went to the morgue, where my mom was brought. "Her organs were severely damaged due to trauma, caused by the accident. It seems like the driver was out of his mind. He was either drunk or high. I can't tell the difference," My mom was full of bruises, and wounds. Her head was almost cut open. I thought nothing would be more painful than that news, only to find out that she was with dad, who's in critical condition right now. What made it more heartbreaking is that, before she died, she was holding some petals of tulips, my favorite flower, and a pen, which I was requesting for a long time. Ang sabi ni kuya, they were planning to surprise me, but there was a drunken driver, driving. Nabangga ang sinasakyan nila mommy, at sobrang lakas ng impact non, the vehicle appeared out of nowhere, driving like some kind of lunatic. Some witnesses said, that the man was even shouting how unlucky they

Chapter: 6“He’s a total jerk! Kung ako sayo, tigilan mo na ang kakaisip kung bakit sya bigla umiwas sayo, kung tingin mo naman wala ka nagawa, then let him be,”“But I’m really bothered, we were alright pa naman nang makauwi sa bahay namin, tapos nung pabalik na kami sa Bulacan, bigla na lang sya naging ganon, did I do something wrong?”Umikot ako mula sa pagkakahiga ko sa kanan, papunta sa kaliwa, I’m having a phone call with Eli.“Pero baka naman hindi naman talaga ikaw ang rason kung bakit sya nagkaganon, like, malay mo, while nasa house nyo sya, may natanggap sya na shocking or sad news, kaya ganon,”“Why wouldn’t he tell me? I mean, if it is not me, then bakit ganon sya?’“Bakit sino ka ba? You’re just a mere friend, Heaven, baka nakakalimutan mo?” Parang may karayom na tumusok sa dibdib ko dahil sa sinabi nya na yon. Matagal bago ako nakasagot, it was painful, yet true. "Yeah, sino nga ba ako para i-treat nya ng tama," "Sis, what I'm trying to say is, wake up! Huwag mo hayaan na masakta

Chapter: 5Mabilis lumipas ang mga araw, and today was friday, I was assigned to gather some surveys, I’m walking to the campus, with the questionnaires on my hand, I don’t know how I will approach the students, I’m afraid they might reject me from doing so.“Ano yan?”“Pusang gala!” sigaw ko at halos mabitwana ang lahat ng papel na hawak ko, “Can’t you please call my name, bago ka lumapit?”“Ay sorry na Heaven,” sagot niya, “Ikaw baa lam mo pangalan ko? Simula nang orientation, hindi ko pa naririnig na tinatawag mo ko sa pan-““Grayson Levi, yeah, I know your name,” I cut him off, and rolled my eyes, nag lakad na ulit ako, while roaming my eyes.“Ano ba ginagawa mo? May hinahanap ka ba?” nakasunod sya sakin, nakalampas na kami sa flores hall and Natividad hall, pero nakasunod pa rin sya sa akin, “Huy,”“I’m thinking of how to disseminate these questionnaire, I’m afraid students will reject me, while I’m still handing it to them,” I honestly answered, because I was really afraid!“Ah, ganon?

Chapter: 4 H E A VE N “Paano ba kasi to? This is freaking annoying,” I mumbled, I’m sitting on one of the bleachers in front of my building, I still have three hours for my second class.Wala pa akong kasama, since, hindi ako masyadong nakikipag usap, I made a few friends naman, pero hindi ko pa sila masyadong feel kasama, I also notice na, yung iba magkakakilala na.I heard from one of my classmates na yung iba magkakasama sa dorm, then yung iba naman daw, nagkakilala during enrollment period.Well, it’s possible, my dad went straight to the dean’s office, he knew the guy there, I mean the dean. They like, classmates way back college years, kaya I didn’t have the chance to meet any of my classmates, until the first day.“Jeez, I hate math,” I mumbled again, after drinking my coke, I don’t have an appetite since yesterday, ang sakit ng puson ko, obviously, I’m having cramps, later mag papalit ako ng pad.“Huy!”“What the fuck!” sigaw ko, at halos maihagis ang ha

Chapter: 3 H E A V E N Week had passed, nag umpisa na rin ang mga regular classess namin, I have 28 units for this sem. Nakabili na rin ako ng mga uniforms, shoes and new bags, si far madali pa naman ang lahat, medyo na-culture shock lang ako, kinakabasido ko na rin ang buong Uni para hindi na ko maligaw.Today ang submission ng essay namin na pinagawa last week. Hindi ko alam kung tama ba ang ginawa ko at mga sinulat ko dito. Well, sana tama lang.Saktong one pm dumating ang professor namin, kaya itinago ko na rin ang phone at ibang uneccessary stuffs sa arm desk ko bago umayos ng upo."Okay, class. Nag meet na tayo last week pero hindi pala ko nakapag pakilala, kinabahan yata ako." Sabi nya, I can't help but to smile, dahil don. Some of our professors din, ganon don.

Chapter: 2H E A V E N Days passed quickly, and it’s my first day of school. My parents and kuya of course asked me kung saan ko gusto mag aral, UST, UP, PUP, FEU, UE, and more, pero galing na ko sa private schools and more, I mean, ayoko muna sa manila ngayon. I heard may magandang school sa Bulacan, and here I am, at Bulacan State University, some students call it BulSU, naninibago ako, mula sa hallway, classrooms, cafeteria. I have to adjust kung gusto ko mag study dito, kumuha din ako ng apartment nearby, hindi naman mahirap makahanap since maraming dorms and apartments, mukhang may mga students talaga na malalayo, so they chose to stay here.“Good morning freshies, may we invite you all to gather to our Activity center for the orientation. Thank you.”As soon as I heard that, I walked lazily, out to the room. I’m hungry na, it’s 7 o’clock, kaya siguro wala pa rin open na store or canteen, halos sampung minuto rin ako naglakad hanggang sa makarating sa AC, marami na rin students na nauna,
