My Werewolf Prince's

Introducing Zachary Payne

"Dian?"

Tania rounded her eyes. Bian waved at Tania and Kei who were still dumbstruck. Tania pushed Kei's body then stood up and hugged Bian. There was Bian's moaning.

"Ahh sorry.." said Tania. Bian smiling.

"It's okay Tania. How's it going? What's... You all right?" ask Bian. Tania nodded.

"Good."

"What are you doing here?" ask Kei ketus.

"Didn't you miss me sweet sister? Didn't you just say you were worried about me?"

"When did I say it? Too confident." said Kei. Bian smiled amusedly. He knew Kei was just pretending.

"I just want to make sure you're okay" Bian said. "I want to say goodbye too."

"Are you not staying?" ask Tania. Bian smiled and shook his head.

"I can't stay. My business here is done anyway. I'm also tired of seeing that fierce wolf's face." Bian pointed at Kei with his chin. Kei snorted in annoyance.

"I don't want to see you either, ha!"

"Good then. I can go." said Bian.

"Then... Where are you going?" ask Kei.

"I can't say it" Bian said.

"Have you been healed? Why is your face so pale?"

"Are you worried about me, sweet sister?" bian Goda.

"Huh! No." asserted Kei. Tania and Bian laughed amusedly.

"But Kei was right Bian. Are you all right?" ask Tania.

"I'm fine, don't worry." Bian smiling. "Well, I have to go now."

"We'll see each other again?"

"Of course Tania, definitely."

Tania hugged Bian tightly. "I'll miss you." whispered Tania.

"Yes, so am I." Bian let go of the hug. "Didn't you want to hug me sweet sister?"

Bian opened his arms wide. Kei was silent for a moment then finally hugged Bian.

"You'll be a great king and alpha. You have to be sure of that." whispered Tania.

"And you'll still be a chatty big brother." Kei whispered.

"Well, I know that."

Bian laughed and let go of his hug.

"I just hope you're always happy... Good bye."

Bian smiled and teleported. Tania hugged Kei.

"I'll miss him" Tania said.

"I'm Tania too, me too."

Bell lesson change reads. All of the students at Rotthern High School dropped out of their classes and walked towards their respective next classes. Zachary Payne is no exception. A seventeen year old student.

"Zach." call someone from behind. Zach.

"Hi, Daryl." said Zach, keeping going.

"Where's Rodney?" ask Daryl. Zach shrugged both of his shoulders.

"No idea" said Zach. They both walked to the gym, to practice basketball.

"Mother Ramirez was a disaster" Daryl said.

"What do you mean?"

"So during biology class, he made us split frogs. And you know, even that mother was disgusted by the frog and didn't want to hold it and ended up making Becky split the frog for her. Ramirez's mother just yelled a little next to him. I wonder how that teacher became a biology teacher."

"I don't know." replied Zach.

"Fright! Full of question marks."

They got to the front door of the gym and opened the door. Some people were already there including Rodney.

"ZACH...!! Daryl..!!" Rodney called his two new friends. Zach and Daryl looked at each other for a moment and came to Rodney.

"What are you doing here?" daryl asked after sitting next to Rodney.

"I just want to watch you guys practice" Rodney replied.

"Don't you have a math lesson?" ask Zach.

"Not to think about. I want to watch you guys" Rodney said, making his two friends look at each other again.

"All players!! Are you ready for rehearsal?" ask their basketball coach, Mr. Robbins. 

"Yes coach!" answer them in unison.

"Are you girls? Why do you answer like girls?" tease their coach. "Are you ready?!"

"Yes, coach!!!" this time their voices were louder than before.

"Good, let's run, round the field, all!!" mr. Robbins' orders.

"Why are you still there?! Payne, Lawson run! And you!!" the coach pointed to Rodney. "Who are you? Are you in basketball?"

"Ahh no, no sir. I just watch." replied Rodney.

"Oh okay. Stay there... Uhm.. Whatever your name is." said the coach then turned around and started running.

The sound of quick footsteps made the corridor of the old house sound noisy than usual. The footsteps sounded very rushed.

A man was already standing in front of a fairly large wooden door. He tidied up his clothes, a plain black shirt that was put into light blue jeans. The man knocked on the big door in front of him.

"Lake in."

A heavy voice told him to come in. The man opened the door and entered the room.

"Alpha." said the man slightly bowed.

"How's Simon? Is there progress?" ask the person in front of him who is called alpha.

"We found him an alpha" Simon said.

Alpha stopped his work and turned to Simon, who was waiting for his reaction.

"Is that true?" ask alpha.

"True alpha, we found your son" Simon said for sure. "Did we bring him here?"

"No, you better not. How's she? Who was left with?" ask alpha.

"With her real mother who works as a teacher."

"Donna?"

"Yes alpha, Donna Chen."

"It's been a long time. All right, let's go to him." said the alpha.

"You.. Also coming?"

"Sure, I want to see my son."

Alpha Dustin walked out of the room.

"But alpha.." Simon's voice made alpha Dustin stop his steps. "Your son.. Not a werewolf. He's a human being."

"What do you mean?"

"He's not an alpha werewolf, just an ordinary human like his mother. That's why we've had a hard time finding it all along, because we're focused on werewolves" Simon explained. Alpha Dustin sighed.

"How come? He's my son, he's supposed to be a werewolf" alpha Dustin said.

"I don't know alpha" Simon said. Alpha Dustin was silent for a moment.

Alpha Dustin exits the room in the following by Simon.

History lessons are boring and boring. Mr. Doughlas is still talking about the civil war. Daryl's been yawning for the fifth time. While Zach still records what Mr. Doughlas said. Suddenly he heard a voice. He flinched in shock. That sound is loud. He was sure the whole school heard him.

Zach looked around. No one was bothered by the sound of that howl. Maybe just my feelings.

Suddenly the voice sounded again. This time it was enough to make him close his ears. Zach looked out. The front yard of his school is empty.

"Mr Payne?" call mr. Doughlas. But Zach didn't hear. "Mr Payne."

Zach nodded and looked.

"Is there anything interesting out there besides my lessons?" ask Mr. Doughlas.

"Uhm... No sir." replied Zach.

"So stop staring out and concentrate on my class" said Mr. Doughlas.

"Okay, sorry sir" said Zach. Mr. Doughlas explained the material back.

"Std.. Zach." whispered Daryl. "You why?"

"Did you hear the howling?" zach asked in a whispering voice.

"Young? Dogs? Nothing" said Daryl. "Are you dreaming?"

Zach shaking. He was sure it was a howling and his voice was very loud. But surprisingly Daryl did not hear that sound. Zach's back on his record. But he could no longer concentrate on studying.

****

"Are you sure you didn't hear it?" ask Zach when they get to the locker. Zach opened his locker next to Daryl and put some books in it. Daryl did the same.

"I told you not to Zach. How many more times do I have to say it?" Daryl.

"But it was a very loud howling and I don't think it was a dog, but a wolf" Zach said.

"Wolf? In Rotternville? I just found out there's a wolf in here."

"There is" said Rodney, who had just arrived. "But they are far from here and have not been seen in this city since... Uhm.... Twenty years ago." Rodney explained.

"Are you sure Rodney?" ask Daryl.

"Yes, I'm sure. But a lot of people say it's no ordinary wolf" Rodney said.

"What do you mean?"

"If Zach does hear the sound of a wolf howling and if only Zach hears it, it means that it's a werewolf howl" Rondey said making his two friends stare in confusion.

"You're going to start with your imaginary myth, right?" Daryl rolled his eyeballs.

"No, no. Thas right. Said in the book I read, the howl of an alpha calling his pack members can only be heard by his pack members." Rodney explained.

"So you mean Zach is a werewolf?" daryl didn't believe it.

"Uhm... Seems like?"

"You've really gone crazy." Daryl shook his head. "I've been friends with him since I was a kid. If she's a werewolf or a vampire, even a mermaid, I'd know."

"And I know who I am. I can make sure I'm a normal human being." added Zach.

"The only weird thing about Zach is that he never used his super handsome face to get girls" Daryl said, causing Zach to look at him in surprise.

"I'm not handsome Daryl." Zach argued.

"Yes, you're handsome Zach, really handsome and all the girls at this school know it. You're the most handsome boy in this school. Isn't that Rodney?" Daryl asked Rodney for support.

"Hi Zach's...."

Before Rodney answered there was a group of girls passing by and greeted Zach, making Rodney sure.

"Yup, he's handsome" Rodney said.

"And popular. Therefore, we stop Rodney's nonsense about his delusion and then come back to the fact that we haven't found a partner for a valentine's party. Do you remember that party?"

Daryl is followed by Zach and Rodney.

"I almost forgot about it." - Roney.

"You're too focused on the book and your world of nonsense about the myth." said Daryl. "So how's Zach? Who are you taking?"

"I don't know. I really don't want to go."

"Hey, hey, hey. I don't want that answer."

Along the way, Daryl was just raving about a valentine's party. From a distance, two people were watching them.

"Is that him?"

"True alpha, Zachary Payne" Simon said.

"Payne." murmured alpha Dustin.

"Your last name, alpha."

"That's right."

Zach slept the night very restlessly. In his dreams he kept being called someone he didn't know.

Suddenly he woke up. Breath gasping. He looked throughout his room. He realized where he was now. Zach rubbed his face violently.

"What dream is that?" muttered.

"Aaaauuuu.....!!!"

"That sound again!" his screeches. Zach got up from his bed. He looked out the window. There's nothing. Soon there was another sound of howling.

Zach picks up his phone on the nightstand and then punches Daryl's number.

"Hello.." hoarse voice from across.

"Daryl? Daryl it's me."

"Yes, Zach. I know."

"You hear that?"

"Hear what?"

"That howl."

"Zach... Are you dreaming?"

"No, Daryl and I weren't kidding either."

"For Zach's sake, it's two in the morning!"

"I know but..."

Zach speechless. He heard it again.

"You hear that? That sound again!"

"Zach, sleep please... And let me sleep too."

"All right."

Zach hung up. He sighed. He looked out the window. He found someone standing in front of his house. Zach is surprised when the man smiles at him and asks him to come with him. Zach is hiding behind the curtains of his room.  He soon looked out the window again. There's no one there. There was just something that the man had left behind. Zach tries to narrow his eyes, trying to sharpen his vision. That's an.... A photo with a necklace on it.

Zach immediately put on his shirt and left the house. Zach approached the photo. Zach took the photo and watched it. It's a picture of a baby. Zach noticed the necklace in his hand. A necklace with black straps and has pictures of wolves and humans. Zach looked around. He found the man standing a short distance away from him and smiled. The man then left. Zach hesitated for a moment but eventually followed after him.

Zach kept running after the man who was also running in front of him. They have now entered the forest. The forest was only in the moonlight but Zach could still see where the man was going.

Suddenly deserted. There was no sign of the man. Zach stopped his run. He tried to sharpen his eyes looking around him. Quiet, there's no one there. Not even a little human movement. Only occasionally the wind blows. Zach shudder. He's cold now. He only realized that he was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and blue-striped trousers, his sleeping pants. He wasn't even wearing footwear. His hand was still tightly grasping the photo and necklace of the man's relics.

Zach surrender. He did not want to follow the man anymore. Zack turned his back and he was shocked. A large, erratic, unusually large wolf stood before him. Zach was shocked. His mouth is wide open. Zach's feet stepped back slowly. Occasionally tripped over the roots of the tree but Zach didn't fall. The wolf growled. The wolf's eyes stared angrily at Zach. Zach set his breath.

'I'm sure I can get into the wolf's stomach with great greed. Oh no, I don't want to die, not by being eaten by a giant wolf.'

Zach turned around and ran as hard as he could. Luckily he is very good at sports lessons, so his physique is quite strong. Zach kept running and occasionally looked back, seeing the whereabouts of the wolf. The wolf was a bit away from him which made him a little surprised.

Zach kept running and didn't stop. He didn't even know which part of the forest he was in. Suddenly, something jumped. Zach looked up. That wolf! The wolf jumped over his body and landed perfectly right before him. Zach stopped suddenly making him fall on the damp ground. The wolf turned around and looked at him. Zach tried to stand up and turn around, but there was another wolf there. Five big wolves surrounded him.

'Alright, it looks like I will indeed die today.'
