The night was unfriendly. It was the type of unfeelingness that reached into his bones, as if his heart was a door left wide open to the icy wind, slamming only to open again.

The only thing to do was keep moving, keep wandering around until he finds her. The sky was rolling blanket of cloud the color wet ash, and the ground its dank reflection.

The only thing letting him see his path was his phone’s flashlight and the full moon.

He heard the howl of a wolf followed by a feeble sound of the dead leaves and branches on the ground, behind the tall trees. Blake promptly turns around in trepidation as his stomach dropped. His heart hammered against his chest as if trying to get away from its place.

Blake expeditiously looked around, trying to see what was lurking behind the tall trees. He knew he wasn’t alone; he just hoped it wasn’t that one thing he was mostly terrified of—a werewolf.

His body went cold as a chill ran down his spine at the sight of what was on the hills. On the crest of the hill were several silhouettes, wolfish. Two stand almost statue-like while the others tumble about, pulling one another.

He began to slowly walk back when he noticed they haven’t seen him. Turning around to bolt, he encountered with the most vicious and angry creature glaring back at him. “Fuck,” he whispered as his heart beat against his chest. He was so scared that he felt his legs were about to fail him.

He slowly walked back before finally turning around and bolting to any direction he could follow. He ran as fast as he could just as he turned to check if the monster was close behind. He could no longer see it.

Blake halted to catch his breath. But before he could think of anything, he was sprung down and he suddenly felt an abysmal snappy, deep pain in his arm. He yelped in agony holding his arm as he tightly closed his eyes, waiting for his predator to finish him.

The pain felt like a pin creeping along his bitten left arm. Every heartbeat sent a surge of agony, as if his arm was being torn apart.

The night soon went silent with only the sound of the cricket and him wincing in pain. He forced a moan as he opened his eyes slowly. He looked around with his blood-shot eyes but he couldn’t spot the thing that bit him.

He managed to get to his feet and slowly walked toward home as it tortured him to move—he kept the movements small and steady. He had long dropped the book and forgotten about it.

After a prolonged, painful walk, he finally got home and managed to climb the tree up to the balcony leading to his room. He knew his parents wouldn’t take it slightly if they discovered he sneaked out into the woods after the warnings and policies they’ve set when they moved to the farm house.

With a muffled grunt, Blake slowly plumped down on the edge of his bed for a moment.

What he saw was scandalous and he couldn’t tell if it was a werewolf or a monster he has never came across before. It was huge and he could swear he saw it standing on two feet before got on it’s four legs and launched toward him. It was a scary moment—especially knowing he was left with a huge bite mark in his left arm.

Steadily, he got up and sauntered into the bathroom to take care of his wound. He dropped the first aid kit on the basin before slowly taking off his shirt to take a look at the wound.

“F*ck,” he mumbled upon sighting the massive bite in his left arm. It was a phenomenon that his arm wasn’t ripped off.

Blake could feel the panic rising as multiply thoughts swirl around his mind—how was he going to hide it from his parents. It was obvious he wasn’t going to tell them he went into the woods in the middle of the night looking for the girl he couldn’t get out of his head for weeks. He couldn’t tell them something twice his size attacked him and just bit him without eating him up.

How was he going to show up at work tomorrow with a huge bite in his arm?

The next morning, Blake woke up with a throbbing headache that felt as though his head was going to split in two. Massaging his temple, he got off the bed and slothfully ambled towards the bathroom.

He barely slept last night—his whole body went cold, making him feel as though his body was dead or he was about to die.

He stood before his bathroom mirror, thinking back to his life before they moved here. It was tough; especially the part where he broke up with his ex-girlfriend, Ashley who cheated on him. It broke him that he took a year off college, and now he might not go to college.

He loved his job at the gift shop he worked at and he wanted to open his own shop as soon as he saves enough to open a candy shop and a giftshop.

His life before the farm house was filled with chaos. He guiltily felt happy that they went broke and had to sell their house and move back to their farm house. He loved it out here, he made friends so easily and they don’t judge him like his friends back in Virginia did. Though he was among the most popular kids back in high school—it didn’t mean anything to him. He knew they only liked him for his fit body and beautiful face.

Blake looked at the blood-stained bandage and slowly start to peel it off. He winced before he even felt the pain. He was afraid of how it was going to turn out, knowing he needed proper medical attention. Maybe it would get worse and sore, and must visit the hospital. If he did, with no doubt his parents were going to find out, his mother especially as she works at the hospital.

“Huh,” he gasped out in awe. There was not a single scratch on his arm, left alone the huge bite mark he last saw before threating the wound. How did he heal within just twelve hours? Has it been twelve hours? It happened twelve midnight, now it was barely eight in the morning.

An hour later, Blake found himself at work. Gasping, hardly knowing what was going on around him. He was barely concentrating on what he was doing. His body felt different than usual.

He could audibly hear things he wasn’t supposed to. He could smell things he shouldn’t be able to smell. He could see things more clearly. Felt stronger than before.

“Blake…”

He promptly snapped his head panickily as he breathed out. He didn’t realize he was holding his breath until Tyler called out his name.

“What’s up, man? You’ve been off lately. Everything alright?” He asked worriedly.

Blake could see the worry in Tyler’s eyes. He knew he had to tell someone about what had happened to him last night. The only person he could tell that was Tyler—he trusted him though they’ve none each other for only a couple of months.

“Hey, Tyler, I know you’re a werewolf freak. Do you know anything about a werewolf biting a human?”

“Ahh, yes. It’s simple. When a human gets bitten by a werewolf, they might not turn into one. But when you get bitten by an Alpha, you’ll be one of them. I have so many theories and histories about werewolves. I know 99.9 percent about them. 0.1 percent is when I get to meet up with one up close—which is in never…”

“I may have been bitten by a werewolf last night,” Blake announced, his chest heaving up and down.

Tyler stares at him for a moment. He wanted to believe what Blake had just told him now but it was hard to. He chuckled softly, thinking Blake was just pulling his leg. “Just because there are some asinine rumors about werewolves living out in the woods that does not mean you can joke with it…”

“I can hear and smell things I’m not supposed, Tyler. This morning, damaged the barn door—it’s made of metal. I feel different, my body feels different.”

Tyler looks around—the customers were busy surfing through the gift shop. He dragged Blake by the wrist to the back room.

“What exactly are you talking about, Blake?”

Blake walked back and forth in the room as beats of sweat cascade down his forehead. His chest was heaving up and down that he found it difficult to breathe or think straight. He was somehow still going to explain to Tyler what he meant.

“I… I met this girl and she dropped a book and I kept on looking for her, for weeks and last night I went out to look for her, and something attacked me and bit me. Which I am sure it was a werewolf that bit me. Because when I woke up this morning, the bite was gone. I mean completely disappeared like nothing happened,” Blake spoke breathlessly as he paused to observe Tyler’s reaction.

Tyler was taken aback by the Blake’s elucidation and it was too much for him to process. “Wha—” he paused to take another second to think things through.

“You have to believe me, Tyler. Something is wrong with me; I can feel it.” Blake was shaking, he was so afraid of the changes he felt and why he was changing. Everything felt unreal—he doesn’t want to believe that he was turning…

“Dude… You’re a werewolf?”

Aurora stared back, not moving an each from her position. She was boiling inside—she felt the urge to attack him to his death. For so numerous, nameless purposes she hated him. She hated the sight of him and wouldn’t want to be anywhere close to him. How did she manage to hate him this much over just couple of weeks? Has it even been a month?

He could see it in her eyes that she despised him. He didn’t care—he still wanted her despite being rejected so many times. He must get what he wants, no matter how many times she’d reject him.

He slowly breathed out and walked over to her. If he wanted to get an approval from her to be his mate, he must learn to be patient though it was hard for him to do that. He was used to other females swooning over his feet, wanting him to be their mate—it was difficult for him to chase a girl. But this was different—this is the Goddess of dawn, Aurora.

He didn’t care how long it would take for him to chase her until she says yes to him. He’d keep on pushing until she eventually does.

“Don’t step another foot closer to me, Kendrix,” she warned. He slightly tilted his head, staring at her.

“Why?”

“Because I don’t like you and I would never like you, and you’re fucking crossing my territory.”

He looked around her room, analyzing it. He didn’t like her choice of color or the interior in the room. “Your room could really use a new set up. But it’s not going to be of any use since you’ll move to my pack after you accept my proposal.” He settles his light brown orbs on hers.

The sends him a death look but he never cared, he brushed it off, walking around the room until got to her. “Why don’t you want to say yes to me? Why don’t you want to be my mate, Aurora? I believe you’d never find someone like me…”

She swatted his hands away when he attempted to touch her. “To hell with you and your boldness. To think I will ever accept you! I will never be with someone like—a murderer whole took his wife’s life for his own selfish aims…”

Unwittingly, he grabbed her neck and pushed her to the wall. She held his wrist with both her hands but he didn’t even budge. He was strong—stronger than she wants to believe he is. She gasped for air but he didn’t even seem to care that he was choking her to her grave.

“Careful, girl! You’re playing with fire and it would burn you if you don’t behave. The last thing you’d want to fucking do is bring my ex-Luna into this! And yes, I killed her because she deserves it. Who’s possibly going to believe that I killed her when everyone knows she fell off a cliff and fell to her death?”

Her eyes began rolling back into her head, his claws were deep in her neck. He threw her to the floor and calmly moved to the chair in her room.

He watched as she coughed and wheezed for air. Her neck dripping down with blood. She’d heal herself—he knew that. He never knew he has shifted to half his werewolf form until he got a glimpse of himself in the mirror.

He rubbed the bridge of his nose as he cursed. “You see what you’re making me go through, Aurora? No girl has ever fucking made me feel this way! Can’t you see that I want you!” He clamored, making her to shift backwards with fear. One thing Aurora hates was showing her weakness.

“No! I hate you! And I will never mate with you!” She thundered despite how she was shaking with fear. She completely broke down. This was the man her father wanted her to be with? A man that’s making her weak and hurting her?

This was how he wanted her to accept him?

“Fine, we’ll see about that Aurora, just wait till you see what I have kept for you.”

He was gone.

    “Mother, he freaking attacked me! And you still want him to be my mate? He’s a Goddamn psychopath…”“No, Aurora, don’t say that. Your father wants the absolute best for you…”“No, he does not! He hates me! To think I’d actually agree to mate with a lunatic like, Kendrix.”“Aurora,” Azzura called out sternly. “I’d rather become one of the Alpha’s omegas and suffer than end up with a psychopath like Kendrix…”“He is not a psychopath, Aurora! He is your chosen mate,” Azzura thundered unwittingly, her eyes shut. When Aurora didn’t retort, she opened her eyes, realizing the damage she has caused between her and her daughter. She exhales tiredly, rubbing her temple. She was drained out by Aurora constantly complaining about Kendrix when she was sure he didn’t have a problem and her daughter was being stubborn and overreacting the whole situation.

    “Skye, right?”“Yes, my lady.” He bowed his head before the Luna—his body shivering with anxiety. This was the first time he was being summoned by the Luna, Aurora’s mother.Though he has met her several times before and she was fairly nice, not only because he was her daughter’s best friend. The Luna wasn’t as cruel as the former one they had. Azzura treats everyone equally and fairly. She doesn’t treat him or the other omegas like the servants they should be to her. Though she has some of the omegas doing her chores, she still didn’t treat them badly. “You know I’ve always liked your name… so much that if I had a boy, I would’ve named him that,” she said, a smile never left her plump lips. It made him feel at ease when she smiled at him. He smiled back and nodded, “Thank you, my lady.” He bowed again. “Hmm. So, Skye… I see you’re one of Aurora’s best friends,” she mentioned, emphasizing on the two last words she stated. He snapped his head up and looked at her for a moment before

    The hospital was nothing like the one he was used to back home, where the receptionist was more plastic than the purified water dispenser. Here, there was no openness, no space, nothing shines or has the smell of disinfectant. Instead, the way in is down a long hallway so narrow that if a wheelchair or trolley were to come to other way, he’d have to dip into a side room to let it go by. The walls were once painted, he could tell that from the cream flakes that remained, though mostly they show the grey undercoat or perhaps the concrete beneath that. The floor was uneven from so much traffic with both feet and wheels, and it’s darker than a mausoleum. The air was stagnant like it had just went into pit. There was no hand sanitizers on the walls, how they prevent the spread of germs here, he wonders—possibly they don’t. From ahead come muffled voices, some angry, some placating. He bite down on his lip, it wasn’t going to be fun here. In one hand, he had a bag of burger and fries,

    He caused this upon himself. He bought this contempt, therefore he has to chew it and eat it up. If he had not showed up in front of her home, he had minded his business and pretend as though he didn’t see her walking out from the woods, she wouldn’t have had the audacity to slap him for shoving his nose in her business. He nodded his head and swallowed the painful lump blocking the air passing through his throat. He looks at her with an unsatisfactory countenance. She shifts back, her heart pouncing against her chest. She looked so frightened as though she was facing her death. She would actually face it if she was just a normal Omega that had just laid hands on him. He turned on his shoes and walked away from the scene. He couldn’t utter anything to her after what she had just done. He wasn’t angry, he was disappointed. He didn’t know why but he felt disappointed. Maybe because she reminded him of her. Maybe he sees her whenever he saw Aurora. It made him feel like she was the

    “What’s really happening Blake? You have completely changed. This isn’t the boy I knew back in Virginia. Are you depressed?”Blake sent a quizzical look his parent’s way. He dropped his fork and got to his feet, picking up his backpack. “You better sit back down, Mister. Because we’re not done talking. Your mother is talking to you and you will sit your filthy ass down and listen to her,” Mr. Cooper clamored. Blake halted and slowly turned. He looked at the both of them in disbelief. They’ve been on his neck for the past few weeks, asking ridiculous questions like why does he go to bed early or why does he frequently eat dinner in his room. These are one of the reasons why he couldn’t wait to save enough to move out of the house. He loves them but they annoy him so much that it made him feel the urge to leave the house and never return. “If I spend another five minutes here, I’d be late for work,” he said calmly.

    “Happy Birthday, sweetheart!”Aurora giggled excitedly as she tried to keep her eyes open. She had just woken up from sleep and the room was too bright for her sleepy eyes. “Thanks, mom.”“These are for you and there’s someone that wants to see you out in the living room,” Azzura said, handing her the bouquet of roses. “These are from your father,” she added when Aurora wouldn’t budge. She grabbed the bouquet as she smiled. “They’re beautiful,” she commented, sniffing the fresh picked flowers. “And who is in the living room, if I may ask.” She had an empty vase in her room. She unwrapped the roses and filled the vase with it. “It’s not Kendrix and hurry up. He doesn’t have all day to waste.” Azzura left the room. Aurora breaths out as she grabbed her robe and headed to the bathroom to freshen up first. Few minutes later, she sauntered out and headed to the living room. From the corridor, she could hear the familiar voice and laughter. “Wait…” she mumbled, just as she approached th

    She stared at the ceiling as though it had suddenly developed a new feature. If there’s anything, she couldn’t actually tell the color. There was an aura of grey around her. It was a fog that wouldn’t rise or fade. A single tear rolled down her temple. She spun to her side and faced the window. It has been raining all day and Aurora has been in bed for as long as she could remember. Soon, her face felt terribly wet, as though she was standing in a blowing gale. Her eyes were puffy from crying for the last five days. She was dehydrated, and her entire body was sore. She had tons of good memories that she could never forget even if she tried to. But, how was it that the pain outweighed the treasured memories?She hates how she was feeling. She hates what she was going through and why she was in that position. The pain was unbearable. The tears rushed down nevertheless, non-stop even after she tried to stop it. No one should be able to cry as much as she had done for the past five days

    Blake stood there, horror-stricken by the sight of Aurora in a werewolf form. A form he exactly looked like now. He shifts back slowly but he couldn’t turn around and run away. He was stunned and frightened at the same time that it made it difficult for him to process everything at once. First Kendrix shows up out of nowhere, second, he was spilling secrets and now Aurora was standing in four feet that he never in his wildest dreams thought she could do that. How could she stand on four feet? He could only push his claws out and grow some hair out and get a slight change on his face. But here she was changing into a complete wolf. His chest was heaving up and down—he wanted to run as far away as he could. It wasn’t because he was afraid of her… everything was too much for him to process at the moment. Before he could blink, she had returned to her normal form and walked over to him. “Blake,” she called out softly, trying to calm his panic. He shook his head briskly as he moved

    One year later… “Could this day get any better?” She squealed, dropping the phone on the table and jumping on his laps. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his lips. “Hmm.” He inhaled sharply, wrapping an arm around her waist. “I love it when you’re happy. Makes you want to kiss me whenever you are.” She bites down her lip, running her fingers through his hair. “I also love it when I kiss you too.” She brushed her nose against his and kissed him again. She moved back, placing her forehead against him and looking at him. She placed a hand on his cheek and caressed it. “Remember Max’s girlfriend I was telling you about?” He halts for couple of seconds before nodding. “Well, he told me that he just proposed to her and she said yes,” she announced.

    Paraphrasing She remained in her room alone for the majority of the time. Even when Max knocked or her mother arrived, she never opened the door for them. She wished for some privacy so she wouldn't have to deal with her painful, stalking thoughts. Three days have passed since she got into that pointless argument with her father. It's been five days since she last saw Blake. When she begged him to listen to her, he froze to his feet and sent a distrusting glance her way. Some people might believe he's rude for ignoring her. However, they both told each other lies. It is irrelevant. It doesn't matter that he misled her about that one foolish fact. She kept several secrets from him, but she did it out of concern for his safety. When she stood up, a number of packets of chocolates and candy bars fell from her thighs.

She leaned in for another kiss and added, "I love this about you." He said, wrapping his arms around her waist, "I love it when you do it too. She purses her lips while maintaining a constant smile. She encircled his neck in her arms as she simply gazed at him, planning their future together. Daydreaming about that felt particularly peaceful now that her father had finally given his consent for her to be with him. She was finally going to have a happy ending and her desire will come true.

    He saw tears streaming from her eyes and wet her face. She’s beautiful. She should hear these words—everyday. Her eyes were like bright sunshine. Makes her face radiant, brilliantly shine. Her face was not carved, certainly not in haste. But slow—with patience and with grace. Sculptured, it shows. The words failed him. It failed him to tell her how much he loves her and how beautiful she was. His heart breaks to see her tears cascading down like that. It hurts him to hear her sob in the palm of her hands like that. She finally suppressed the tears and suck in a huge rush of air. It doesn’t do much to calm her but she slightly felt better. She raised her bloodshot eyes and settled on his.

While they continued to glare at him, he cast a quick glance about. He felt as though they were devouring him with their hot dagger, as if they could read his mind and gauge his level of fear. He was aware that they could hear his rapid heartbeat and may use that information against him. But because he represents their only hope for saving their pack and finally leading a better life, they dared not touch him and dared not even consider eating him for dinner.
