IDRIS LYKAIOSI thought Wilhelmina showing up to my apartment unannounced was already exasperating but the following day became the worst. I’ve been in a vacillating battle with myself all day long. On one end, I’m having this bubbling urge of wanting to see Roger, perhaps strike a private conversation with him about why did he kissed me. I just thought I needed to know the reason behind and I might have to admit that it kept me up all night. That was the very first time in a decade that someone had stroked my emotion the way Roger did. On the other end, I don’t want to see him at all because I’m frightened that I might just falter. I thought I’ve already obliterated attraction out from my vocabulary but that doesn’t seem to be the case.I can’t seem to fathom why I’m having this sudden desire to see Roger in the first place. I don’t even understand why I’m thinking about him and that stupid fucking kiss. It’s been fucking up my mind and I can’t seem to find a way to cease thinking ab
ROGER WILLIS In my dream it was seemingly dark, and what shining light there was seemed to be radiating from the crescent moon above. I was alone in the depths of the woods with my claws and fangs out as I was about to face an enemy that I thought I chased. There was something about him that felt somehow familiar and yet unfamiliar both at the very same time. I couldn’t see his face brought about the brightness but his humanoid form made me think he’s the same kind as me. Overcharged with a rush of adrenaline, we both went berserk, pouncing and howling right at each other. The dream felt surreal as I seemingly felt every blow until I was eventually awoken by a glass shattering. When I opened my eyes, the sun was already inching its way above the horizon and I was quick to notice my window was shattered. I was intensely flabbergasted when I saw a bloody crow flailing on the floor. It must’ve flown directly towards my window but how? It doesn’t seem to be blind and this isn’t like the
ROGER WILLIS“What do you think happened to Wesley?” Diwata asked when we all huddled up for lunch.I had a stinking suspicion about it but I just don’t want to think negatively when things have finally started to turn normal for me. My first week here was rough and I’m already exhausted with all of the stuff that happened to me. I’m not much of an optimistic person myself but I refuse to create this negative narrative inside my head.Wesley quickly grew on us, not because he was bullied by Benjie and the rest of the other kids but because he was genuinely the funniest guy that I’ve met.“Do you think some sort of monster was behind all of this?” Norman uttered dreadfully voicing out what I was running rampant inside my head.“It could be.” Soraya spat backing up Norman’s thoughts. “I picked up some stuff at the grocery store yesterday and I walked by this wall filled with photos of missing people.”“Why are there so many people going missing lately?” Diwata inquired.“Soraya, do you
ROGER WILLISThe day reeled to an eventual end and just like how we planned things, I inched my way towards the art room where I found everyone waiting for my arrival. I don’t know why they chose the art room to perform Soraya’s witch incantations. Perhaps because it’s located at the furthest wing.“Did you get the candle?” Soraya immediately asked the moment she saw me.“Yeah. I got it.” Fishing the candle along with a lighter out of my bag, I ushered myself towards her.“Why do I have a gut feeling that something horrible happened to Wesley?” Norman mumbled out as we all gave him a hard glare. He’s been blatantly pessimistic ever since this morning when he learned that Wesley went missing and it’s not good. “What? We just fought a winged-ghoul vampire thingy who could separate its torso from its legs a few weeks ago.” Norman asserted and perhaps he has a point. We should still expect the unexpected.“He’s right.” Soraya nodded in agreement. Things aren’t adding up. “Wesley’s dad own
ROGER WILLISWhen we all scrunched up inside Ysabella’s car, she refused to drive most definitely because she doesn’t want us looking at her claws. Soraya took up the role once again and I felt extremely ashamed about the lingering fact that I don’t know how to drive. At close inspection, Soraya appeared like she used a lot of her energy trying to find Wesley.“H-how did that happen?” Discreetly pointing at her hands, I began striking a conversation with Ysabella just get a brief of how did her claws grow, they are most definitely werewolf claws. Even for me, I’m still confused that it’s just there and she doesn’t even have any sort of control on it.“Two days ago.” She replied, her eyes were focused right at the window. “They just grew in the middle of the night. I don’t know how, I thought it has something to do with my hormones. I tried cutting them off but they’re just too thick.”“It looks like yours. Should we tell her?” Norman whispered on my ear and I’m pretty sure that’s not
ROGER WILLISYannick was clad with the very same black suit and tie that he was wearing the very first time that he lured me towards the woods. This time, he tied his long hair giving us a full frame of his pale face. It was relatively dim, however, he still looked pretty washed out as if he has anemia.“I-I thought you were long gone.” Ysabella inquired looking much rather astounded to see his older brother. Judging from Ysa’s wide-eyed expression, it seemed that she has absolutely zero idea about his brother coming home.“I told you Ysa, he’s back and he’s here to recruit his own pack.” I trailed reminding Ysa what I just asked her several weeks ago.“Pack? What the hell is going on here?” Ysa asked further shifting her sight from Yannick towards me. She’s a smart girl but it appeared to me that she’s having a hard time connecting the dots here.“Did Idris told you all of that?” Yannick took one step forward. His scent became stronger this time; it’s lingering like a horrible perfum
ROGER WILLIS“Get your hands off of my friends!!!” Dosed in both fear and courage, I yelled at thetop of my lungs as I pinned Yannick’s body against the hard wall.“HAHAHAHA!!!” Seemingly unfazed by what I said, Yannick let out a manic laughter as his own response.He glared over at me and I saw how the rings in his eyes began to glow and somehow squirm like a worm. The faint reddish glow seemed enough to strike a simple level of intimidation towards me. I got distracted by it and that gave Yannick the window of opportunity to strike his attack. He clenched me by the neck prompting me to let go of him just so I could hold his hand.“GrR!” I grunted as I was starting to lose much oxygen.I tightened my grip on Yannick’s arm hoping to pull it away but his grip on my throat was unbelievably strong and tight almost like a vice grip. He gave me a spiteful grin before easily dealing a blow straight to my chest. The blow was powerful enough sending me on the hard ground.That’s just one punc
ROGER WILLISMr. Lykaios showing up out of the blue was both just as unexpected and just what we needed. I certainly felt a huge sigh of relief to see him show up when I’m already starting to doubt myself. I don’t know if I could take Yannick alone when he’s not even exhausted yet and he barely took any actual damage from us. I know I have my friends along with me however, I shouldn’t probably have brought them all along with me. Yannick’s just purely strong alone and quite agile that even with our combined abilities, it’s not just enough to take him down. He easily smashed Norman unto his knee and what could Diwata do?“Mr. Lykaios!!!!” Soraya screamed out and she appeared just as relieved as I am.“Ah, there he is. The man of the hour.” Yannick intoned vocally acknowledging Idris’ convenient arrival. “It looks like someone came to be the hero.”“Whatever you are planning, Yannick. You must stop it right away.” Idris blurted out.“You two know each other?” Ysabella asked.“We used 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
