Tania is in her class. This time he arrived earlier than usual. There were only a few students in her class, and even Casey and Anne had not yet arrived. Andy had to leave for work early while Tania was not on foot. So she had to come with Andy down in the morning.
Before long the class became crowded. Tania saw Kei and Ian enter the classroom. Kei looked at Tania at a glance. She was already feeling pleased by seeing Tania's face. Tania was still unconscious Kei was looking at her. Tania is reading a novel.
"Tania...!!"
Tania flinched in shock at the sudden call. Tania raised her face looking at the person who called out to her. Casey came in and sat down in Anne's seat.
"The story" said Casey.
"Huh? What story?" tanya Tania was confused. Casey grunted in annoyance.
"The story last night where you went. You know, your sister called me and Anne. His voice sounded panicked. I'm surprised you're not home" Casey said. Anne put her bag on the table and stood next to Casey. His eyes looked at Ian. Ian looked at Anne intensely and then smiled sweetly, making Anne flutter but Anne quickly brushed her aside.
"Ahh that.."
"Yes, that. Where are you really from?" ask Casey.
"I am from a big rock. Ye know? The stone has the name of my parents" Tania said.
"Ahh that stone. You must've missed your parents again." guess Casey. Tania just smiled.
"Casey, when are you gonna sit in my seat?" anne protested because she was standing while Casey sat in her chair.
"Then you just move to my bench there." Casey pointed to his stool. Anne sniffed in annoyance.
"Don't want Casey, I want my seat."
"If you don't want to, what if it's in Ian's pocket? There are no empty seats anymore. My only stool or in Ian's lap." Casey said. Anne's face was red.
"Here." take Ian and hit his thigh slowly. Anne lowered her head, embarrassed. Ian smiled happily at Anne's embarrassed face. The red tinge was clearly on his face. Ian struggled to get Anne to like him but Anne's defense was too strong. She was almost desperate to be turned down but today seeing Anne ashamed of her made her excited again.
"Casey.." call Anne pleading.
"All right, all right" Casey said, then stood up. "I gave you the chance to sit with your girlfriend." Casey appoints Ian as Anne's boyfriend. Ian smiled amusedly while Anne was nervous.
"Bu-not. We-we're not dating" Anne said nervously.
"really?" casey Goda. "It's not like you guys go home together. Even I'm a mosquito repellent by myself because this Tania is missing."
"You're-you're this. Don't so. I'm not dating her." Anne said quickly.
"Dating's okay, Anne, I'm happy" this time Ian said. Anne was getting embarrassed. Seeing that, Casey and Tania smiled amusedly. Kei just realized something. It turns out that mate Ian is... Anne!!
You Kei lelelet!!

Kei POVs
It's been a week since I've been meeting Tania on a boulder. Tania was always waiting for me and greeted me with her sweet smile if I came. A smile that was only aimed at me, made my heart melt instantly and made me want to see that smile continue.
It was very difficult at school to get close to him. She was always with her friend and I couldn't possibly take my cover off. I was also very handsome and popular in school. I don't want to be the talk of school. The notoriously cold Kei suddenly became friendly. Huh! It's not gonna happen. My self-esteem is higher. I feel sorry for Tania anyway. I'm afraid someone will hurt him. Yeah, I admit, I like it. I've never felt that before but now I feel that, feeling how to like someone.
But two days ago it made me bleed. Because Mark, the guy who was handsome approached Tania and dared to go into the class and greet Tania. In the cafeteria he also behaved. She immediately sat down at the table where me, Tania and her friends were sitting. Yup! I sat in the cafeteria with Tania and her friend. This is because Ian is approaching Anne. Oh Ian I thank you.
Back to Mark. Mark immediately took a seat right in front of Tania and deliberately pushed my body to the side. You insolent!!
But I don't need to mess around because from the look on her face I know Tania doesn't like Mark. Especially I heard Mark was a friend of his, Casey's. Huh! I still won!
Before meeting Tania as usual practicing with the five gamma candidates. We practice speed and strength. Sometimes we have a running match. Sometimes we practice fighting. Actually I enjoyed the exercise. Although they like to tease me but they are very nice. They taught me everything. Ian only occasionally practices. Jake's right, Ian is strong. He'll be a beta candidate at Lykort. George, beta Moon Roykolt alone was amazed at how powerful Ian was.
We were bare-chested in the middle of the forest. We're practicing martial arts again. This time I'm fighting Jake. I fought Moles, Jason, Mike and Kian. Now it's just Jake I haven't fought.
Jake smiles. "Are you sure you can beat me Kei?"
"Of course." I answered sure. I have defeated four of his friends. I just have to beat Jake. Jake is not an easy opponent but I have to try.
"Let's start."
Jake put his fist in my face. I read the move and dodged quickly. Jake hits again, over and over again, it looks like Jake has made me a samsak. I let my guard down and got hit by one of his punches. I just grinned. 'Well he's great too.' My inner. I felt a pain at the end of my lips and then rubbed the blood that came out a little from my lips. I took a punch with my right hand but it seemed like Jake was reading my movements. My hand was held by Jake. Of course I didn't lose my mind. I turned my back to Jake with my right hand still in Jake's hold and I tried to hit Jake with my left hand but Jake still caught my left. I immediately kicked Jake's leg, right on his back thigh. Jake seemed surprised then I heard him groan in pain with one leg already on the ground from my kick. I felt Jake's defense weaken, I quickly removed my right hand from Jake and punched Jake in the face.
Jake's sitting on the ground. I saw Jake smiling happily with his index finger pointed at me. He wiggled his index finger then chuckled.
"Great too." he praised. I am glad I can excel from him. "Hey, don't be happy! I'm not done yet."
"Forward then." my challenge.
Jake and I are fighting again. It hurts to get punched or kicked, it even bleeds sometimes, but it's all to strengthen us and for me, so I can better control my anger. During my training with them I could always control my anger. Even though they hit or kicked, even if it hurt, I never got angry too much. Maybe because I thought it was just practice, I don't know.
"You guys are so excited to practice" said someone to make me and Jake stop our training. I turned and found alpha Sebastian with two gamnas next to him. Jake, standing on top of me and holding his hand high to punch me, lowered his hand and stood facing Sebastian. I followed him too. We all bow to Sebastian.
"How are you guys training?" ask alpha.
"Ba-good alpha." replied Jake.
"Good, keep practicing." alpha Sebastian pats Jake's shoulder softly.
"What about you Kei?" ask alpha Sebastian.
"I'm also good alpha" I said.
"Kei is very smart to adapt and his strength is also great. We all beat him." praise Jake. I'm so embarrassed....
"really? Then, how did you fight with me Kei?" ask alpha Sebastian. Whats? Just be right. Even though I am strong and beat these gamma candidates, still if I fight the alpha I must be overwhelmed. I'm sure my face is starting to pale.
"How's Kei?" ask alpha sebastian again as if to corner me. He's the alpha here how do I refuse?
"Huhahah." I laughed awkwardly. I want to be normal but it feels weird. "But I've been practicing alpha, my energy has been drained. Alpa just arrived. That's not fair."
I saw the gamma candidates next to me gawking I dared to say that. If they were the ones asked to fight, they would immediately prepare. I laughed at seeing their faces.
"You're Kei. You're still young while, as your mother said, I'm old. Do not protest constantly. Let's practice" said alpha Sebastian again. Alpha has undressed and is now shirtless.
'Huh! This alpha is just this one. Despite being an old jackfruit it's still alpha, the strongest wolf in this pack. Want to fool me using an old jackfruit. How can I defeat him.' I murmured in my heart. I'm a little upset.
Although upset but I still prepare to fight alpha Sebastian. Even though he's my uncle he's still the alpha, where dare I refuse.
Me and alpha Sebastian finally fight. Although I only practice but I do it earnestly. I'm directing all my remaining energy against this alpha one. I saw my uncle wasn't kidding. His boxing and kick hurt a lot. I managed to dodge a few times and of course got hit a few times as well.
Alpha Sebastian is suddenly turned into a wolf. I'm appalled. Sebastian's alpha wolf is black with cat-eye-like eyes. Real pretty. Usually our eyes if the wolf turns black. Alpha Sebastian is golden yellow. I feel like I've seen those eyes, but where is it. Mama! You have those eye colors too! Yeah, I remember. Mom once turned into a white wolf mixed with gray with the same eyeballs.
"Let's change yourself" said Jake breaking my daydream. I nodded and immediately changed.
We're facing each other, me and alpha Sebastian. I growled at him and so did he.
'You're ready for Kei' said the alpha in his mind. I certainly heard it.
'Sure.' I answered for sure.
"Grandrghh"
Alpha. At first I was defeated but I was finally able to balance it. I'm crashing in. My body fell on the tree, but it rose again.
I heard the cheers of everyone who saw us fight. It was like watching a football game. I was a little distracted for him, letting me off guard. Alpha Sebastian hit me. My body was smeared and fell on the ground. The alpha was directly on top of my body with long nails, ready to scratch me.
But a few seconds later, the alpha is back to being human. I followed him too. Alpha held out his hand to help me stand up. I took his hand and stood up.
"You're so great and so strong Kei, I'm almost overwhelmed facing you." he said. I smiled knot.
"We'll just rest. I brought food from home for you. Give them food." the alpha command to some of the people behind the gamma that I had seen carrying trays.
Those guys feed Jake and the others, me and the alpha, too.
"Let's talk for a minute?" ask alpha.
The alpha is walking me away from people.
"Is there anything in your body under control?" ask alpha. Anything on? Ahhh that might be what the monster meant.
"Call it alpha monster" I said. It is more worthy of being called a monster. "I think for the moment it's under control."
"I feel it too. I thought when we fought earlier you would change. But you can control it well." he said. I smile. We fell silent back. I don't have to say what. I'm not even close to my own father.
"Then... What about your lover? Is he your mate?" alpha suddenly confused me.
"Love? Mate?" many confused.
"Not pretend that. I already know everything." said the alpha as if teasing me. I still look at him confused. "Girls on a boulder right? Uhm what's his name?"
The deg!!
'God!!! How did he know that?!'
I'm panicking! No, no no no. Very panicked. How does alpha Sebastian know about Tania?!
"Did you still see him after training? Is he your mate Kei?" ask again. I was pale and nervous.
"What does alpha mean? Hahaha I don't understand." I said pretend. I saw alpha squinting his eyes. Looking at me with a look I can't guess. Then a second later he laughed, making me even more confused.
"You're Kei. No need to pretend with me. Honestly speaking. Do I need to figure it out myself?" the haggard made me freeze. Waduh this bad!!!
"Eh? Uhm... N-no, ja-angan." I said nervously. I'm so nervous.
"What?" ask Alpha Sebastian. He frowned at the sign of not understanding my words. I took a deep breath. Oh moon goddes help me.
"He's not my alpha lover" I said at last. "He's just my friend. We only met on that rock. I was always even in my wolf form and he didn't know who I was."
I'm drowning. I don't know where the alpha found out, but I'm starting to get scared if both my parents know. Especially mother. Ever since he found out Ian found his mate, he kept telling me to look for my mate. How annoying!
"Then she's not your mate, either?"
"Of course not." Erakku fast. "But.. Where does the alpha know about Tania?" I dare you ask.
"Hm... So her name is Tania? Is she pretty?" ask alpha all of a sudden and ignore my question.
"Hahahaha." I laughed awkwardly again.I don't know what else to say. Of course Tania is beautiful, very beautiful with her natural face. I admit it but I can't admit in front of this alpha one. I might get caught liking Tania.
Alpha Sebastian laughed. Even while holding his stomach.
"Your face is funny when you're embarrassed. It's almost as red as a tomato."
'Ahh shit! What does it look like?'
I held my cheek. Wow it's been heating up. I'm really embarrassed. Why am I being just like a girl, shy. Huh! it's so weird of me. Just make it ashamed!
"You can tell me anything Kei, I'll happily listen to him" said the alpha.
"Ahh I know it from.." alpha did not continue his words. Just looking the other way.
I followed the direction alpha was going and found the five people who were training with him earlier.
'Ha! I guessed! It turns out they are. You little wolf-feathered parrot can't keep a secret.' My nagging.
"Don't blame them Kei" said Alpha as if reading my mind. "They didn't tell me or anyone about it. It's just that they can't stop talking about it. So I accidentally heard it." alpha laughed again.
'Just like that's his name. Why do they keep talking about it.'
"You remind me of my oldest son, Hans" said the alpha. Hans is my oldest cousin. He may be in his thirties. I don't know how much for sure.
"Hans also has a first love like you."
"Then what happened?" I dare to ask.
"I don't know. He never told it. He's always closed when it comes to love. Maybe I thought I was experiencing less love." alpha laughed again while I was just speechless listening. "The love of my life is just my dearest one."
"Aren't you looking for a replacement for Luna? I heard that even though we werewolves were created with only one mate, but if that mate dies, there will be a second mate. Aren't you looking for him?"
I know Moon Roykolt's luna is long dead. She died a year after giving birth to their daughter.
Alpha Sebastian smiled. "I cannot replace my wife with another woman. I've loved her before I even knew she was my mate and I wouldn't replace her."
I smile. My uncle is so romantic.
"Where is Hans now? Why have I never seen him?" my many.
"Because he doesn't live here anymore. He lives in a big city. There he takes care of the company he has built. I don't know anything about the company but he always sends us news once a week and also visits us often."
"Ohh.. Is he married?" my many.
"Yet, not even finding the mate yet. If her mother was still alive, she would have brought Hans home despite having to pick up her ear. Then my wife would have him look for his mate even to the ends of the world." alpha laughed amusedly remembering his wife.
"My wife is just like your mother, exactly" continued alpha again. "Therefore I will keep a secret about your lover. Maybe he'll send your girlfriend home."
"Alpha, I've told you she's not a lover." I protested quickly. Tania is not my boyfriend.
"Yes, yeah okay" said the alpha succumbing to me. "But shouldn't you have finished practicing? Don't you want to meet with the fortune-ah no, your friend that?"
I jerked. I have to meet Tania. But where's the good I go while there's still an alpha here?
"Let's just alpha" I replied.
"Don't do that, pity your friend. I was also once young Kei. Go there or he's mad and you can't see him anymore."
I smiled knot.
"Alright, alright. I'm going to go. Mana dares to go against alpha's orders. Could've broken his neck."
Alpha laughed at me hearing my words. Then pat my arm slowly.
"Let your shirt and your bag be carried by Jake and others."
"No alpha, I'll take it myself" I replied. I don't want to trouble anyone.
"Alright if that's what you want."
Aplha left and I followed her from behind. Everyone stood to see the arrival of the pagoda. My uncle is highly respected. I'm proud of him.
"Key, is it time?" jason whispered to me. I just looked at him coldly. "What's? Why are you looking at me like that?"
The confused Jason saw my gaze on him turned and found the alpha watching the two of us.
'Huh! You like to look for trouble. What was the unconscious of the alpha looking at?' my nag.
Alpha laughs amusedly. "Already, already. Don't tease Kei. It's gone Kei. I'm allowing you to meet your lover."
The alpha speech that just made me and my five friends gawk. They jumped in shock, the alpha found out about me and Tania. While I'm, of course, because the alpha still calls Tania a lover
'Aarrgh... Why does this alpha still call lovers? Just be ashamed!'
The five people laughed. Maybe I saw a change in the look on my face after the alpha said the lover's word. Even the two gamma alpha-carrying ones also laughed. Damnit damnit!!
I can't stay here long. I could have been flirted with five guys and this alpha one.
I turned myself into a wolf and immediately ran towards Tania. Tania's... I'm communication.
