Sitting on his bed while staring straight at the white wall with no thoughts in mind but just the amazement on how Leo continues to do an unusual thing for him which was studying. Scratching his head as he stands up and stretching his body from top to bottom before starting his morning exercises.
“Twenty jumping jacks, twenty squats, twenty lunges, twenty push-ups, twenty sit-ups, and sixty seconds plank. I’ll repeat it three times with one minute rest between sets.”
Leo told himself as he took off his black shirt and threw it on the desk chair. He positioned himself at the right side of his bed where a little space was available as he adju
With no work and physically and mentally exhausted from today’s last examination, Luke was resting at his bed and blankly staring at the white in a dim light. No matter how much he moves around the bed, he could not fall asleep despite his eyes threatening to close any moment but his body is not comfortable at all. As it was telling him to work, to move, and not to stay there since his muscles are not yet in their limits. “This is what you get for working too hard and too far, Luke.” Luke mumbled as he tightly closed his eyes whi
The whole morning was exhausting as the teachers on the teachers’ lounge asked him to collect the lacking scores of a few activities without giving the full instructions on what is needed to be recorded or who are lacking on what activities. So as a class president, Luke needed to find a way to identify who is lacking in what activity. He clearly understands why they forget since they are already frantic on gathering and finalizing the grades of all ten sections with thirty to forty students – the pressure from their superiors, the fear and the adrenaline to pass on time. “Okay. Let us work.”
The simultaneous sneezing, blowing of nose, and sniffing in an aggressive manner are the things Leo noticed, thinking he was still dreaming but it became more clear as he kept blinking his eyes. He unconsciously used his heightened senses and he could only sigh as he still could not fully control it when he was sleeping. His blood boiled when it continued for five minutes as he was plumping himself with the bed blankets and covering his head with a pillow. When he thought it calmed down, it did not and it became worse when it coughed. He frowned a lot and his eyes were burning with annoyance that he snapped.
The rattling of utensils in Luke’s room can be heard when he was on the verge of waking up from his sleep after eating warm chicken noodle soup that was left outside his door earlier today. It was blurry with the light illuminating the dark room with an unknown silhouette in front of him, cleaning the wooden bed table below his bed. Luke grunted as he tried to support his upper body with his left arm to see who it was but before he could recognize that person, his dizziness struck. “Just rest, Luke.” &n
Leo's eyebrows are meeting at the glabella as he is pissed off when he woke up late because his freaking alarm clock did not set off. Therefore, he was not able to cook his breakfast nor able to buy food along the way. As Luke was admitted to the hospital and it is the second day, Leo has not even visited him. Out of all the times that he could be running late for school without breakfast and lunch, it is today. Well, he is fine being late as long as he is full but the combination of no food, the usual train station stalkers – the omega students, and the looks people, both werewolves and humans, gave him are too much as he could not control his
Luke was quietly and calmly hiking up the hill on his way to school while minding his own business of feeling the warmth that the sun gave and the cool wind that brushed his skin. The unusual thing that morning was that no schoolmates greeted him and how they avoided his gaze while whispering to one another and glancing at him in between. Uncomfortable as it was, Luke tried to push his negative thoughts by making excuses as there might be something on his face or on his back while gently shaking his head. As their voices are getting into Luke’s attention more than before, he stopped on his tracks and checked his face through his phone th
The students were sitting on their respective chairs while playing or talking with their classmates as they were waiting for the lunch break bell to ring. They had no classes because it was the last day of the first semester for that school year. The only busy ones are the teachers, class presidents and student council officers as they were preparing for the Semester End Party that will happen in the next two days. “Imee, what are you going to bring to the party?” One of Luke’s classmates excitedl
It has almost been two weeks since the first semester ended. Luke was in the restaurant’s kitchen doing his work and focused on it hundred percent despite his body feeling heavier by the minute while his cooking execution became sloppier. He sharply hissed when his hands trembled from the sudden loss of strength that he needed to let go of the pan and make sure it does not spill over to the floor. “What is wrong with me?” He annoyingly asked himself in a whispering manner when he stret
The sudden death of Mika causes a downpour of sadness, tears, and condolences from the people that know the family – even from the mainland. The usual bright, noisy and peaceful mornings the Sager had has disappeared on the drain. Kate and Kaye refused to go to school to mourn with their parents and to be with them, together as a family. The small fragile hands are gently rubbing their parents’ back then to their shoulders with a squeeze before embracing them. The pair decided to close their restaurant for the time being while they grieve and try to put up a strong face when remembering the brief moments they had with their mother.
Two, four, six, eight, ten years pass by and the pups are now in their early teens, getting ready for their secondary gender test in their school with the guidance of their teachers, nurses and doctors. Those years were not easy for everyone, especially to Leo and Luke, from sleepless nights, some uncertain days, the unstable emotions from stress and from balancing their daily lives with their kids and restaurant. “It is a peaceful morning, isn’t it?” Sipping their coffee at the first floor while looking out the window and how the chirping of the birds subtly fading and getting further away. The soothing washing of the waves to the shores and the giggles of their daughters upstairs. Leo hums but giggles as he glances up the ceiling. “Except for that one.” “Well, they are almost done and within five minutes, they will be running down. So, let’s start preparing their breakfast and lunch boxes.”
A new day has arrived and every single employee in the Full Moon Organization is doing their respective job, diligently. When Mika enters the office of Jessica Ether, she finds her reading while pacing back and forth in front of her desk. Despite the door creaking, the representative seems so absorbed by her activity that she did not notice her assistant entering. Mika sees the books stocked up on the desk with no space to put anything on. So, she turns a blind eye and just does her job. “Representative?” No answer and continue to read. “Representative?” Still no answer until the older woman inhales deeply. “Representative Jessica Ether!” Raising her voice higher than what the other person has heard from her. Startles from it and closes the same looking journal on her hand. “Good morning, representative. At nine in the morning, you will have a meeting with the other depa
A short slender woman enters the room filled with piled up boxes behind the desk, with a food tray in one hand while documents on the other. Wriggling her nose, unable to keep her eyes straight when those objects are distracting her. ‘The itch won’t disappear –’ Mika subtly rubs her nose. ‘– Since those things appeared.’ Glancing over those clutter behind the representative’s desk. “Here it is, Miss Ether.” Placing the folder near the center then the food tray beside it. Standing, waiting for the following instructions to be giv
A few men in black and white suits are walking out of the abandoned house with boxes on their arms when Leo was being called out by one of them to meet the representative. His eyes follow each of them out the house until the road downtown. Step by step, tracks left behind while his hands in his pockets with an unreadable expression on his face. Walking at a normal pace but seems slower than expected. Sighing as the night is greeting earlier than he wanted. The same feelings as that night slowly dawns at him but he looks away from the house when he gets closer. His sight only sees the mountains when refusing to glance at the ocean on the other side and the rep
A year and a half has flown by and Luke realizes he created a few menus on his sleeves while utilizing the limited resources they have at the island. The once crawling pups are now walking around the house but wobbling while leaning on everything for support. Little by little, he becomes aware of what he wants in the future, thinking of what makes him happy and at the same time, earning a bit while staying at home to look after his beautiful daughters. One morning when Leo and Luke are seated across from each other while having their coffee. “What do you think of opening a restaurant here?”
Three days have passed since the birth of Leo and Luke’s twins and they have less sleep as the nights end. The pair is on the bed while the pups are on the crib side by side and kicking each other’s faces for space. When they arrived at the hospital the day after the omega’s labor, the nurse assisted the young mates to register their pups and see Luke’s condition. “Mister Luke Sager’s condition is better than what we expected as the wound healed faster and steadily. Now, the names of the pups are Kate and Kaye Sager.” The nurse lo
The silence within Jessica’s office as she thinks of the witness’ whereabouts and how he or she disappeared without any traces. Recalling the testimony of the soldier who gave her the message of that incident could not remember where he last saw that person or whether it was a man or a woman. All he remembers were chasing a car and being cornered and beat up by humans. Constant inquiries and little chit chat with the elders pressure her as she could remember the previous blood moon accident where a young boy saw his parents get killed by a pack. They could not even finish the job of hunting him down and eradicate the child. Letting him be wit
An old man was walking along the dirt road towards the town of the Cursed Island after he was dropped off, more like being pushed out by a shabby boat from the black market’s dock. Pissed off of how he was treated by that woman captain – ‘She’ll get a piece of me someday.’ Federick thought when a moment later, the boat further on the shore were drowning and the workers were shouting for help. The strong wind blew by the old man and he smiled with all of those shouting, clenching the cloth in his hand. “Good work.”
