Chapter 9
Guilty
I squeezed my eyes doubting that the SSG President is really in here. But… nothing change in my vision, he’s really standing across the street. I pant not knowing why my chest is acting this way.
“Hey, is that Harvin? Ow! He’s with Casper--!” I stop Nichy from getting their attention. I pulled her arm down shaking my head. “What’s wrong with you?”
“I don’t wanna see… er.”
“Who, Gina? Is there a problem?”
“Just don’t call them.”
“Why?” She said like she lost a lottery. “They’re nice, in addition they help you out last Friday. Why wont we treat them at least?”
“Just please don’t do it Nichy. Let’s enjoy the day by ourselves.”
Chapter 10Offer“W-What’s wrong with you?” I asked when Nichy started to act weird. A small part of her came back to sense and check the scene she made. She slowly turn to me then to Harvin who tried to check if she was all right. I stood and tried to reach her but she hurriedly shook her head.“I… I don’t want to.”So is this her idea with what Casper offered? Nichy’s forehead is dripping with her sweat, eyes trembling and would not let the guys finish the offer.“Hey easy… let us first clear this out--”“I’m done in here.” She quickly picked her baggage and head straight at the exit not waiting for me. I was confused. What is really wrong with her?I faced Casper, before anything else I still wanna clear the thing idea. “I&rs
Chapter 11Totally over"Why do you look so devastated?"I raise my head to sight Imelda who just laid my breakfast at the table. I shrug at her and started to eat."You look ugly, do you know that?""Arg!" I almost choked from my food. Why is everyone so mean with my features?!First Casper who called me garbage, now Imelda with her ugly comment. Geez, Grimson is the home for creative compliment. I am being sarcastic here."My father told me I'm pretty!" I corrected Imelda while she's busy cutting her pork."Really?" She said boredly. "And you believe it? Pity you."I exhaustedly drank water and layed my head at the table. I still didn't answer her question. I'm afraid that she might scold me once again that I'm relaying on her. And also, I want to try what she said. To fix my own challenges, Mom and Dad is not here anymore. I accepted that fact a long time ago, and with tha
Chapter 12Salvation"Calm down," Casper used his assuring tone as he stroke my hair. But I was still so afraid, I'm sweating up and system ready to shut down. Imagination played wild on my thoughts."Casper you have to help me, N-Nichy. She has been kidnapped.""I know. I'm already figuring this out from the hunters."I don't really know what exactly those hunters intention in Grimson is, but I'm not dumb to neglect that they're willing to do anything to hurt our people. Hearing the news that Nichy was the one who was kidnapped made me act so hysterical. I'm so nervous, so worried that it's making me bones weak.What if they hurt her? What if she bleed? Is she crying?Nichy is such a kid, she'll definitely feel frighten by this time. And not being by her side is making me feel worthless. How come I can't be there for the first ever friends I made? I am so stupid! She was right!"I'
Chapter 13Beginning"F-For real?!" I stood with eyes open wide. "Am I not hearing anything... delusional?"Her expression earlier didn't change. It was all sincere and convicted to the phrase that made me go this hysterical. "You didn't misheard it, Gina. I am really willing to join the org now."I gently sat down by her side and took both of hands with confusion in my face. "Why? Why with the sudden change of mind?""Don't you like it?""Well I like it. I even love it. But the point in here is that, why did you change mind? I'm having this vibes that you're forcing yourself to join me—" she place her finger in my lips to cut me off."No, it's my own will. I just realize what you said yesterday and all the idioms in the world. It made me wonder for hours what true justice is. And it lead me to your words.""H-How?" She grin."You asked how long could I bear hiding and
Chapter 14UnfairTo sum it up, being a SSG officers wasn't that bad and cruel. Or maybe because I just haven't tasted it entirely. For now, all I know is that me and Nichy is doing all fine. Greater than fine! Even my sleep had been spectacular! I dream of many things like treasure hunting with Pter Pan, or something about money and that is my best kind of dream girl! The best!The news about us being part of the SSG reached every corner of the University. Some made a fuse about it, but they didn't dared to hit on us— well. I already have the freaking title not to messed with!I am really enjoying the previlege! But it didn't stop me to work harder. I am always register in my mind that I have a title to protect, plus Casper's reputation. That's why I have to act prim and proper sometimes. On addition, being a SSG member isn't a free ticket to claim the rank effortless.Casper reminded me last day
Chapter 15SignsI'm starting to see Grimson town weirder and weirder. Especially that University. I mean, why did they even implemented the unjust ranking system? As far as I can see, it isn't helping the student learn, they're all feeling tortured. And I am liking any of it, is thsi rebellion? I don't know if it is because of the fact that the curriculum is way different from the metro compare here in Howling University or the superiror in this University is just really going out of border?I heaved. I think I should stop thinking about H.U since it's weekend. It's been days since my encounter with Agatha. After that wild cat-fight we didn't see each other at H.U, I'm trying to avoid her. I also heard from Harvin that she is excused not to attend our SSG meeting.Today, Imelda and I went to the town market. It was originally just her, but I got so bored so I cling and joined her to buy some things. It'
Chapter 16AlphaIt's early in the morning. The bed is still inviting me to hug him tighter and sleep my ass off for the whole day! But knock came in echoing in my whole room. I glanced at it lazily.Come on! I didn't even reach the peak of my dream about the treasure hunting with Peter Pan! And the idea that I didn't able to play with Thinker Bell is really a kill joy! Why is Earth so cruel?!"Y-Yes?!" I asked yowning, eyes still close. My mind can't even function, do I even have that?"Get up! You're going to H.U early!" Imelda screamed like never before."W-What?!" I asked that almost made me fell from the bed, thankfuy the blanket got tight it's way on my feet."I said early!" Imelda stated last before walking out. My mouth hang open and jerked at the alarm clock."It's... 6 AM!"I feel like loosing my mind when Imelda totallu brainwash me to get up early and
Chapter 17Meeting"Make sure your uniform is well off! Every dirt I find in your faces will cause you punishment!"Aren't they over reacting with his visit? Prof Dal became more meaner than the usual. He even tapped my head with his stick to make sure I won't do anything stupid. Arg, right? I am really stressed with the idea of being forced to act prim and proper and here he is! Ruining my appetite! I want to bite him! If I were just a wolf, that's the first thing that I will scribble down in my bucket list!"I think it's time." Prof Dal said when we heard a bell rang. He faced us and smile. "Stand up all of you and fall in line. We're heading at the auditorium right now. The Alpha want to hear something from all of you, get that?"Wow, hear us? Really? That was really sarcastic of him. After him forcing us to be under his crucial ruling he's asking for a good compliment? What if I asked him about him
Chapter 40Farewell It’s dangerous and getting out of our hands. Those Hunters don’t really know where to stop. They don’t want to be defeated, so are we. They caused us too much, I will never let this aside that easily. And those bastard even have a guts to involve the weak! “Why aren’t we attacking? Let’s go!” I scream when I notice the moving lights that the hunters had. “Shut up,” Alpha Eugene hissed at me that almost made me say… whut?! What is he waiting for?! “If you can’t counter attack them, I will!” Someone gripped my arm. I saw Harvin move his head sideways. “What?!” “Calm down, this is going nowhere with your attitude.” “The hell?! We must move immediately! The Alpha is doing nothing, someone has to decide!” “Gina,” I stop when I notice how serious he was. “The Alpha might be
CHAPTER 39Grimson Downfall“Run!” I am going insane… I do not know what to do exactly at that moment. I groan when another lady bump into me, then another before I knew it, I was being squeezed in the road as they all panic.I heard another horrifying cry at the end of the road that delivered goosebumps all over me. It was a cru for help, warning and threat.It was a dreadful night. Something we didn’t expected. No one even predicted…“Run!”One of the elders once again yelled when an explosion filled our eras. We covered our ears from that.How did we even get here? We should be fighting under moon. We should be finding out who’s will is about to be praised this night!But what happen? How did we get here?I once again remembered the whole scene before this all happen.It started in that room.
CHAPTER 38ConsequenceIt all dawned to me. What danger I put myself into.The Luna’s midnight battle is almost a rite. It’s a ritual between the wolves whenever they will have this misunderstanding. In the form of wolves, they will fight until one opponent surrender or… dies.It’s not just a simple clash, it’s a bloody class that we, werewolves do in order to make peace between a large issue.Said by our elders, the contenders will have a deal in the start of the game. They will state their request, which is mine; remove the Eugene as Alpha, while Alpha is; vanish the Hidalgo. When the battle take place, we will try to kill each other--who ever looses will have to face the consequence.And the winner will reign endlessly.I almost lost breath while I stare inside Alpha’s eyes who’s giving me off the vibes of belittling me.I knew exactly w
Chapter 37AbductedI can’t remember that much what happen next when I entered the van. All I know, someone gripped my hand inside, I yelled due to fear. But it was useless, they completely dragged me inside the vehicle as it drove away.A random guy covered my nose with a handkerchief, it contains a strong chemical drug that made me doze. I really tried to struggle from them, but I was belittled. They won over me. I didn’t won, I failed to protect myself.“Hmmm…” Slowly, I found my conscious back. My chest was heavy as heck, as I tried to breathe, I can find a blockage. I groan when I noticed I am laying bare on the rough and cold flooring.Using my hand, I tried pull my weight up. Another groan escaped my lips when my head felt like spinning in circle.“Damn,” I almost cried like a 12 year-old kid. Later on, I felt a littler better. That’s when I
Chapter 36TwistedI can't cope in with the idea that everyone had realized that Alpha Eugene is really crossing his power boundary long time ago. They just kept quiet, avoid meddling to stop waging a war against Alpha. Because they knew that University will be the payment of their very action.However, what is done is already here. If we rebel now, there is nothing to loose because the University is already settled as the war zone. There's no holding us back to wage and reveal who's pack of wolves shall stay in power in the University.I had a hard time finding out why the Dean suddenly built courage and helped us out. I wanna think that there's something fishy about him"We already contacted the elders. They have the power to correct and reduce the dominance of Alpha around Grimson. If we wish to eliminate him out of the University, there's no problem to hinder us. Unless... he'll use some alibi or an
Chapter 35Burned"Fuck! I thought something happen to you!" I saw Casper and the rest of the SSG officers at the entrance of the castle; our campus. Casper hurriedly embraced me upon seeing me. "You weren't answering your phone.""I'm sorry, I left it with Nichy at the gate. I didn't tag her along since she's injured. But I'm all fine.""Ehem, what the hell with the drama?" Our head turned to Agatha who's having a bad day again. She pointed at the burning school. "We have to save, now!""What a bitch," Casper whispered not wanting to let me go. I slap his chest."She's right, you're too dramatic. I'm completely fine. Now let's proceed with the task.""What? No Gina. You stay here. I can take care of this alone.""Casper if you don't want an argument right here, right now. Let us join you, let me. Clear?" There is too much discourse in his eyes. I heaved and tap his shoulder. "Let's
Chapter 34Burning Eyes"W-What is happening—?!" I didn't closed my statement when one of the wolves pushed the table flipping over the air and landing it in the Aiden Casper hide me in his arms after cursing. "I am all right," I assured him."H-Help!" That voice caught my attention, my eyes landed on a kid stuck at a table, he tried to reach me. "I-I still can't transform! I can't breathe here!" I quickly ran for rescue, but Casper pulled me back."Let me handle this. Search for Nichy and the other. Avoid wolves, get that?"I hesitated to let him face the warzone, but he has the point. "M-Meet me, huh?!"He nodded. "I will." We split ways to prioritize what to do in this chaos. While ranning back to the spot where Nichy and the other is staying, I couldn't stop but watch the fantastic place ruined by the Alpha. The wolves that attack us by this night is more than 8, they're masculine and t
Chapter 33Dance Under the Moonlight"Why aren't you still going out?!" I close my eyes as Imelda bang her feet at my door. "You're running late for the party, just get out of there already, stubborn child!""Ah! Just let me finish breathing!""Ow for Heaven's sake, Georgina! When will you finish that breathing of yours?! It's been 46 minutes! Is air that hard to find?!" I almost fell from my seat when she bang the door once again. We've been like this since I asked for her to give me a second to finish myself, however it ended up like this. This isn't really your usual prom night where your grandma should be brushing your hair and will gift you a genuine smile saying you're so beautiful.Because mine ended up like this. How fun!"In the count of three! If you won't come out there, expect my wolf form to break this door and I won't replace it, forever!" Her dominant voice echoed in the whole room
Chapter 32Howling Night"Where have you been again?" Nichy asked me as she pulled me near the big room. I gasp for air scanning the whole room. It was... magnificent! The wall at the side is pure glass that reflected me, while at the left is the walk in closet for dresses. The roof is endless with a shimmering chandelier. We look like princesses preparing for the arrival of our fairy tale love story."What are you waiting for, try some on, Gina." The other officers started pushing me to enter the closet.Nichy chuckle. "Let's change together since I also haven't tried anything." She look at the woman beside me who's getting bored with dresses. "Agatha let's go and try everything on!""Ugh, don't order me around." But she entered the closet, we just silently chuckle in her behaviour.Nichy pulled me in the aisle of dresses and she herself find a decent looking one fitted for my body. "You don't h
