ROGER WILLISIt was already nightfall when Mr. Lykaios drove me home and I was increasingly worried that my parents would question everything. I kept looking at myself on the side mirror and I noticed nothing happened to my face. Literally, I don’t see anything cut or broken. I’m pretty certain of the fact that Benjie got me real good with those hefty punches and I should probably have a broken nose, perhaps a black eye but I was more than shocked to see none of that shit. I’m not usually one lucky person per se. I have never won anything based on the random power of luck but I guess the lucky duckies were in favor of me today. I’m glad that Benjie didn’t manage to break my face because I didn’t have to think of a stupid lie about it. Also, I don’t want to become a whole ass laughing stock when I get to school tomorrow.Idris gave me his phone number strictly reminding me to call him in case anything happens. Honestly, I don’t know what to feel about it. Oddly enough, I felt so much s
ROGER WILLISI couldn’t stop thinking about Carmine Reid and her natural beauty and her beautiful red-hair and that cute smile. I haven’t seen anyone like her ever. She’s the type of girl that I like and while I’m at it, I was beginning to imagine going out with her. She’s a little bit reserved, more traditional than the other girls that I’ve met when I was still in Birmington and somehow, she’s also mysterious but I like it that way. I am highly enthralled to get to know here even better. Perhaps tomorrow I could ask her about the cryptic messages that she just told me a few days prior. I might be able to clear those with her.I know I just got a warning from whoever slipped that folded paper on the tree trunk earlier. I’m not entirely sure if it was the guy with the long black hair trying to tell me something or if it was just a random thing. I leaned towards the latter mainly because I don’t even know if that guy truly exist or if I was just seeing things that’s not actually real.
ROGER WILLISWhen I regained my consciousness back, I felt immensely exhausted most probably caused by the rush of adrenaline. That was something I wasn’t expecting at all. I managed to dash across the woods easily locating a shortcut but even then, it was already too late for me. My entire head was covered with a sack that awfully smelled like chicken dung. I couldn’t see a shit except for the dots of light coming from the miniscule holes of the sack. When I tried moving, I instantly found out that I’m restrained against a wall made out of wood. My hands and legs are chained on all four different directions limiting all of the movements that I could possibly make.“I-I think he’s already awake.” A voice stuttered from a distance. If I’m hearing it right, the voice was coming from Carmine but it sounded way too far from where I was being held captive.“Carmine, is that you? Carmine!!!!” I asked almost yelling at the top of my lungs yet my voice just echoed throughout the room. It seem
IDRIS LYKAIOSI was young as twelve when I first shifted form into the monster that I am now. Although my first full moon was just as typical as any other, my father had a different belief secretly influenced by his hunger for power. For a long while, he believed that I was innately special only because I shifted shape way to early than a normal werewolf would. Normally, wolfborns like us don’t shapeshift until we reach our seventeenth cycle where the wolf blood running inside our veins starts to fully take-over the body.My transition to wolfhood was truly special and my father made sure that every single life in the pack recognized the phony that was me. In their eyes, I was extra special but in my own perception, I’m just as mediocre as everyone else. I might have gained my beast form at such an incredibly early age but when I think of it, it isn’t really that special. It feels more like I just hit puberty way too early than my peers.Shortly after my first full moon, I was immedia
IDRIS LYKAIOS The howling from the distance became even stronger and piercing and as I picked up my pace, it became even more violent. Something was not right. I followed Roger’s scent until it ultimately led me to an old cabin hidden in the depths of the woods. I noticed the moon finally edged it’s away above into the night sky and I’m pretty sure, once a single filament of moonlight hits Roger’s skin, the wolfblood running in his veins would immediately react in such a violent seizure. He would begin the lunar awakening and I want to make sure I’m there when it happens. Most mortal humans who manages to survive the incubation period doesn’t do pretty well when they undergo their very first transformation. It’s a difficult process. It’s quite a bit similar to how a wolfborn transforms. However, when a wolfborn first transform, you could easily guide their instincts using your own howl making them easier to tame. It’s not like that for mortal humans though. They don’t have the capaci
IDRIS LYKAIOSRoger eventually passed out right after completing his shift of shape and that’s more than enough to control him from wreaking havoc and possibly harming other innocent mortals. It was hard to watch him struggle in an increased dosage of agony as his body slowly changed. He’s one buffed predator in his beast form. His body mass has doubled up, his hair was thicker and fuller and his ears were flappier.This isn’t the first time that I witnessed a mortal human transform into one of us but it is certainly the first time that I don’t have to take their innocent life. Roger should be lucky that I need him so I could find a way to hunt the rogue werewolf who attacked him.That rogue werewolf used to be a part of our pack. He’s in fact, one of our best warriors. His skills are proven and tested. My father was trying to build a stronger army believing that something dangerous and chaotic is about to come his way and he needs every strong warrior to protect the whole pack. Or so
ROGER WILLIS Everything felt like a daze. I would’ve never imagined that my life would be more interesting here in Viridian Falls in comparison to my life way back in Birmington. I thought partying every weekend and being part of the cool kids’ circle was the whole point of having fun in high school but it seemed that’s not the case at all. It turns out that being attacked in the dark right after someone who’s already in a relationship stole a kiss from you was the initial definition of fun. I was just kidding of course. There’s absolutely no fun in being kidnapped and almost killed by a bunch of crazy ladies. There’s absolutely no fun in being part of the lamest circle in the whole campus. I’m not saying that Norman’s lame but hanging out with him was unexpectedly uninteresting so far. There’s definitely no fun in being attacked by the boyfriend of the girl who stole a kiss from you. Everything that happened to me so far wasn’t fun. I haven’t been in this town for more than a month
ROGER WILLIS“Hey,” I began. I stood up and I was just about to help Soraya out when Norman grabbed me by the hand.“Roger. Just let it go.” Norman whispered from behind.“They’re bullying her. I can’t just sit here and watch them poke fun of her.”“Listen, Roger. That’s the least of your concern. You already have something going on with Benjie. Don’t make it bigger than it already is.” Norman mouthed convincing me to let Ysabella pour water on Soraya’s head like she owns her.I ended up just letting Ysabella pour all of the water on Soraya’s head. It’s hard to watch her exercise her head bitch in charge position. To be fair, I only hanged out with them for just two days. I’m sure that’s not enough to get to know them that well. She’s really a horrible person and I’m glad that I’m not hanging out with them right at this moment. I’d probably be laughing with them just so I appear like I belong when in reality, I want to stop her.Everyone laughed and called Soraya a witch. Some even to
Yannick was just as agile now when compared to the very first time I first saw him fight with Idris. He managed to dodge my first attack and then the second. He was just dodging every move that I was making until I became exhausted.“You’re too slow, Roger. It seemed that all that Idris has taught you was how to move slow.” Yannick muttered.Still keeping my eyes pinned on Yannick, I was breathing heavily. He began rushing towards where I was standing and he was moving swiftly. I thought I was lucky to have dodged his first attempt to strike but it turned out it was just a ruse to trick my attention. He managed scratch my chest and kick me by the leg. I howled out in total pain as I lose my balance.“See, you didn’t even saw that coming.” He towered over me with a smug grin. “I’m not even going to waste my time on you, kid. I thought I was right that you could be a powerful member of my pack since you managed to survive the incubation period but it seemed that you just got lucky.” Yan
I kissed him back. Perhaps that was the most rational thing to do as a reaction even though the reality was, it’s the most irrational thing to do. I kissed him hard biting his lower lip burning with such unwanted passion. I was feeling the heat all over my body and it’s as if I haven’t kissed someone in a very long time.It was true though. I haven’t kissed someone like this in a very long time and I thought I’m not ever going to kiss someone the way I want it. I felt him bit my upper lip as a mutual response. I would’ve never guessed this kid to be this sexually aggressive. He doesn’t look like it. Admittedly, he’s traditionally hot and handsome but he doesn’t ooze this type of energy up until this moment.I don’t even know why I’m reacting and responding to this kiss but there’s just something in him that’s pulling me over like a magnet. I kissed him harder as if it was okay to kiss your student in the school clinic. I slowly let my tongue slither inside his mouth and it was surpris
“Fuck your pack. Fuck your measly pack of weaklings. I have my own pack now and I’m here to collect someone who could possibly become my beta.” Yannick announced as he slowly swiveled around to face me. He looked at me deeper in the eyes and there, I saw his glowing eyeballs once again.“Stay away from that boy!!!” Idris yelled from behind. He just picked himself up from the ground and was now preparing himself to attack.“Hahaha, why are you still calling him a boy? Look at him, he’s clearly a man now.”“What do you want from me?” I asked Yannick.“I told you, you are quite special and rare. There’s a power growing from within the depths of your soul and I’m here to help you obtain that potential.” Yannick began inching his way towards me. “Join me and together, we shall conquer this land.”The glowing in his eyes wasn’t faint, it was in full shade of red. That glow along with the paleness of his skin made my skin shudder. I took a few steps back as Yannick approached.“I’m warning y
I saw how Diwata blushed with that simple pickup line that came from Norman. He’s been really trying and searching for a lot of pickup lines and it looks like it’s working. Norman’s really getting it with Diwata.I made my way to Biology class when the bell rang. I haven’t seen Idris since the last time I was with him when he forced me to eat that raw deer and yet it is kind of weird that I’m looking forward to seeing him. I know I was grateful to him for rescuing me and if it wasn’t for him, I’d probably be dead by now. My mom would probably be wrecked just as my dad would be.When Idris showed up at the door, I felt my heart beat on my chest. Here we go again with this strange feeling. I don’t know how I would describe it. I feel like I can’t breathe and then I couldn’t get my eyes away from him as if there’s some sort of magnet that’s been attracting my focus towards him. I tried shaking the feeling away because I know it isn’t right in every aspect but it’s difficult when he’s you
‘Fuck, Roger! What the fuck are you doing?!’ I cursed out as I looked away hoping that Idris was in deep slumber and not faking anything. I was greatly hoping he’s not awake at all because if he was, I’m screwed. I’m hella screwed.I couldn’t shake the relentless thought of kissing Idris off of my mind and I don’t think I could ever talk to him ever again after that. Even when I got home, I’m still worried that he might actually be faking the sleep and I’m in serious trouble. I don’t understand why I did it but I’m trying the hardest to convince myself it didn’t happen at all.“What’s going on, Roger? You look like something’s bothering you.” I sat in my usual spot during dinner when my mom noticed that I was spacing out. I guess I’ve been staring at the bowl of stew for quite a long time.“What?” I heard what she said but
“Why did you attacked me?” I asked hoping to get the answer. Why me of all the people in this town?“Why you might ask? Because I could sense something quite special in you.” Yannick drawled out. “You are born to be one of us.”“What? There’s nothing special about me at all.”“You just don’t see it now but I sense a sinister power starting to grow within you and that’s why I’m here to call you to join my pack.” He reached his hand out towards me and I saw how his eyes slowly glimmered. “Come and I shall make you a powerful creature of the night!”The glow in his eyes was different from the glow on Idris’ eyes. It was reddish and it appeared as if it’s drawing me in the longer I stare at it. I took a step forward as the smirk on his face widened much to his satisfaction and before I could take another step, I heard someone
My back landed on the ground and Idris was now on top of me. Our eyes met and somehow locked that it seemed like things have cooled down all of a sudden. The faint glow from his eyes faded and so was his fangs. I was unconsciously staring at his eyes and face and I suddenly felt my heart beating faster. Faster and faster as his buff chest was on top of mine. His eyes were also plastered on mine and I know, I needed to break it up.“M-mr. Lykaios. You’re heavy.” I moved a bit amicably cutting his sticky stare and eventually making thing even more awkward.“Alright, that’s it.” Idris quickly picked his character back as he slowly propped himself up. “Training’s over.”I began thinking about my family. I don’t want to pull them in this quicksand of danger that I’m currently sinking in. Of course, I still want my mom and dad to repair their bent relationship. They’ve
I spent the whole week training with Idris at his father’s old rest house. The very first time was pure hell mainly because I’m barely good at anything that has to do with fighting and quite somehow, violence. I’m not really that surprised about performing at bare minimum even when I could feel it in my own self that I’m trying my best effort. I’ve been mediocre at everything and that’s one thing about me that I’m quite embarrassed to admit. That’s most probably the reason why I’m not good at any sports. My mom tried enlisting me to different sports like basketball and football but I never lasted a day. Balls just don’t interest me that much, I guess.I thought we are going to train using some kind of weapon which I thought would be easier yet deadlier. Perhaps Idris would provide some sharp swords or some kind of magical stick but I was just too dumb not to think that Idris was going to train me with h
I was just kidding of course. There’s absolutely no fun in being kidnapped and almost killed by a bunch of crazy ladies. There’s absolutely no fun in being part of the lamest circle in the whole campus. I’m not saying that Norman’s lame but hanging out with him was unexpectedly uninteresting so far. There’s definitely no fun in being attacked by the boyfriend of the girl who stole a kiss from you.Everything that happened to me so far wasn’t fun. I haven’t been in this town for more than a month and yet a lot has already happened. When I first got here in this town, I was just a human or in Idris’ words, a mere mortal and then the next thing I know, I’m a monster now. There’s literally too much to unpack and honestly, I’m still trying to let everything that I learned sink in. I never had the chance to have a peaceful weekend and process all of this werewolf bullshit.When I go
