"He's... It's alpha."
"That's impossible."
Zach growled furiously. He came to Adrian who was standing in front of him. But Zach oleng. He has not been able to control his wolf body. He almost hit everyone there.
"Whoa.... Calm down Zach." said Roland who was still avoiding Zach.
"All back down!!" simon's orders.
Everyone took a few steps back, giving Zach's wolf body some space. Zach still can't control it. He retreated backwards and hit a tree which resulted in the tree collapsing.
"Austin!!" Brad pulled Austin's hand under the tree that was about to collapse to get away. The big tree collapsed instantly.
"Alpha.."
"Well, I'll try" said Zach's father. "Zach! You hear dad?"
Zach still looks confused.
"Zach!!" this time Zach's father called out with a half yell and stood in front of Zach. Zach looked at his father.
"Be careful, alpha" Simon warned.
"Just calm down, I'm fine" said alpha. "Zach I know you hear me. Calm down Zach."
Zach's father looked at Zach and Zach returned his gaze. Zach's father knows Zach is very confused.
"Listen to me, we learn slowly. Lift one leg ahead of you." his father ordered.
Zach who understood, tried to lift his leg. But one of his hind legs also lifted.
"No, not Zach. One front foot only. This one." Zach's dad pointed to Zach's front foot on the right. Zach again tried to lift his front right leg but the back leg is still lifted this time making the wolf's body unbalanced and then fell to the side.
"Oh my goodness!!" screeches Roland. Zach and Simon's confused father fell silent at his place.
"Uhm... Somebody... Help?!" scream someone. Everyone comes to see Brad and Adrian under Zach's wolf.
"God! What are you guys doing there? Why not avoid?"
"How can we avoid him if he suddenly hits us?!" said Brad.
"Stop talking and save me from here!!" pekik Adrian's.
They remove Adrian and Brad from under the wolf Zach's body. Adrian and Brad are still in pain.
"It's a good thing you're a werewolf, so you can heal yourself quickly" Roland said.
Zach's laying himself. He did not know how he could return to being human again and how he adapted himself into a wolf. Zach's father came to Zach and stroked his head. Zach's father closed his eyes and took a deep breath and opened his eyes.
'Zach, do you hear me?' ask Zach's dad through mindlink. Zach's father is still human.
'W-how can I hear you?'
'Because this is communication among the werewolves Zach.' Zach's father smiled at Zach.
'So.. Can I talk to you? Can you hear me?'
'of course. I heard you clearly.'
'What... Can they hear me too?'
'Not if they are still in human form as they are today. If they are wolves, they will hear your voice and you will hear their voice.'
'So they don't hear me now?'
'No, because they're still human. Only I can hear you Zach. Because I am the alpha of this pack and you are also a member of my pack.'
'What... What am I supposed to do now?'
'All you need to do is focus, Zach. Concentrate, I'm sure you can. I know it's not easy to control from two feet to four feet. But you'll be able to control it. You must be sure.'
Zach speechless. He was filled with his thoughts.
'Are you okay Zach?'
'I'm kind. How're they?' Zach looks at Brad and Adrian. Zach's father also looked at them.
'They're fine Zach. They are werewolves. One of the advantages of werewolves is that they quickly heal themselves. So you don't worry.'
'alright.'
'Are you ready to try again?'
'Yeah, okay.'
'Good, stand. Slow down'
Zach started moving. He tried to stand up slowly. He didn't want to make the mistake of getting people hurt again. Slowly but surely he finally stood up straight.
'good. Now try to step. Slowly and surely. No need to rush'
Zach tried to slowly move his legs. At first it was still unbalanced but eventually he could. He began to walk with his wolf legs. He walked around the others. Zach's father smiled proudly.
'You are my son. Zach, now change your form to man again.'
'But I don't know how.'
'Close your eyes, calm yourself and command your body to change.'
Zach according. But his body has not changed.
'This didn't work.'
'Focus, Zach. That's key.'
Zach nodded and did again. Soon his body turned into a human again. Everyone applauded and came to him.
"You're great Zach, you're talented to be a werewolf." said Roland.
"Thank you" Zach said as he blushed. "Are you all right?" ask Adrian and Brad.
"We're doing fine. Soon our wounds will heal" Brad said.
"Oh okay. I'm really sorry." said Zach regretfully.
"Don't think about it."
Everyone laughed with satisfaction. They can at least get Zach to control his wolf.
"Wait, there's someone here."
"Uhm beta, but we're people too right?" said Roland.
"No, that's not what I mean, ordinary people. Feel Roland."
Roland tried to sharpen his hearing and sure enough. There was another heartbeat besides them and that heartbeat sounded terrified.
"There!!" screeches Roland pointed in a direction.
Before long, a single human appeared a bit away from them and immediately turned away. Roland turned himself into a wolf and chased after the ordinary man. Not for a long time of course, he was already in the presence of that ordinary human and growled furiously. The ordinary man was already sitting on the ground.
"Don't I beg you. I-i just... I'm just.." The ordinary man was nervous and looked very frightened. "I'm sorry, I won't tell anyone."
Roland kept growling at her. Makes him even more afraid.
"Rodney?" call Zach who has arrived there. Everyone looked at Zach.
"Do you know him Zach?" ask father. Zach nodded.
"She's my best friend" Zach said, then came to Rodney. Rodney was surprised. "Hey, hey. Its alright. It's me, Zach."
But Rodney still looked terrified.
"Let me talk to him. Can you leave us?" zach Pinta.
"You sure?" ask father. Zach nodded for sure.
"Yes." Yeah."
"All right then. Let's give them some time" Zach's father said, then passed by everyone.
Zach sat next to Rodney who was still shocked.
"Are you calmer?" ask Zach. Rodney nodded. "Thank God. I'm sorry Rod, I-I-"
"It's incredible Zach." Rodney said.
"What?" Zach frowned.
"You... You are Zach's werewolf!! That was awesome!!!" squeal Rodney.
"Oh okay fine, but I haven't been able to-"
"My theory is right, Zach. The werewolf exists!! You!" Rodney laughed loudly making Zach stare in wonder.
"Uhmm weren't you scared?"
"What's? Ahh yes, I was scared when I built- uh no, no. Your serigalam human friend is in front of me. But I'm fine. I want to scream joyfully at this moment. This is so amazing!!" squeal Rodney.
"Hey, hey. Keep your voice. You want everyone in this town to hear you?"
"Ahh sorry." Rodney covered his mouth with both hands. Zach laughs amusedly.
"My name is Rodney sir, Rodney O'brian. I'm a close friend of Zach's. Nice to meet you" Rodney said. He also did not forget to stretch out his hand. Zach's father laughed amusedly and welcomed Rodney's helping hand.
"Hello Rodney, I'm Dustin Payne, Zach's father" Zach's father said.
"Dad?" rodney asked confusedly. Zach's father nodded. "You got a wolf man Zach's father? Why not tell me?!"
"Uhmm he's a big fan of myths. Like a werewolf." Zach explained.
"That's right sir." Rodney.
"And you believe that?" ask Zach's father.
"Of course sir! From the beginning I believed in werewolves. But Zach said it was just bullshit." Rodney pointed at Zach's face. Zach snorted angrily and then shook Rodney's hand.
"Alpha, it's gonna be night soon, we better get home" Simon said. Zach's father nodded.
"All right."
"You... That's alpha?" rodney was surprised.
"That's right. I'm the alpha of my pack" said Zach's father.
"Whoooaaaa...!!!" Rodney looked at Zach's father with great admiration. He didn't even stop staring at Zach's father.
"Then I go home first. I should too... Deliver this freak." Zach pointed to Rodney. "Just calm down, I guarantee you he won't tell anyone."
"All right, I believe you. Be careful" said Zach's father.
"I will." Zach pulls Rodney's arm still staring at me. "If we go home, it's almost night and stop looking at him like that. You're such a disgrace."
Along the way Rodney unceasingly admired Zach's father even reaching his home. Zach is forced to drive him home first, otherwise Rodney will stay at his house and start telling him about the werewolf and his father's pack overnight. It was a nightmare for Zach.

"So... What happened to Zach alpha?" ask Simon.
"I don't know Simon. The color of his fur, his eyes and the mark on his forehead. That's... I read it in my book."
"That means is it true? That descendant is Zach?"
"Of all the signs... That's absolutely true. But we have to make sure of that."
"Is it possible that the offspring arose because of the king of Lycanthrope? You heard it, right? King Lycanthrope has appeared."
"Yes, Simon. I know that. He was a descendant of King Frederick and he was seventeen years old. He's the same age as Zach. Is it possible..."
"We'd better figure out the alpha" Simon suggested.
"Sure, we'll leave tomorrow. Let Brad, Austin, Roland and Adrian take care of and train Zach."
"Is it okay for Zach to stay with them? I'm a little worried." said Simon.
"It's okay Simon. I believe in them. Especially your children, Roland and Austin. They will definitely take good care of Zach" Zach's father said as he patted Simon on the shoulder.
"Alright, I've taken care of everything from a few days ago. It's all ready."
"good. But before that... I want to meet Donna. I miss her so much."
"But alpha, is luna willing?"
"I don't know Simon. But she's still my mate, luna on my pack. I'll try." said Zach's father. Simon just nodded his head.

Zach opens his locker and picks up his textbook. He was getting used to the advantages he had.
"Zach. Hey man." Daryl.
"Hi."
"You were from anywhere yesterday. You said you wanted to go home but I went to your house and I didn't find you" Daryl said.
"Ohh.. L'm.. A walk."
"Walk? Where's where?"
"Oh that.. L'm.. "
"To the forest." replied the new Rodney
arriving.
"The forest? Why are you walking into the forest? And how do you know?" ask Daryl wonder.
"He's running, you know Zach. I was also in the woods looking for traces of wolves" Rodney told a lie.
"True, you and your mythical bullshit." murmured Daryl.
"Yup, that's right."
Zach and Rodney looked at each other. Zach feels bad for Daryl for hiding something big from him but Zach can't tell Daryl yet. He planned to say it when he had already mastered his wolf side. Daryl closes the locker door and takes Zach and Rodney to class.
"You know Zach, Matt, our team captain" said Daryl.
"Why him?"
"I heard he was hit by someone" said Daryl.
"Hit? Matt's? Ahh yes, on the upper cheek did look blue at that time. Is he fighting?" ask Zach.
"Yes, but with women."
"What?" zach and Rodney said together.
"That's right."
"Who's the woman who dares to hit Matt?" ask Rodney.
"Karen, Karen Wheeler."
"Ohh.. Yeah.. Only he can." Rodney commented.
"Who? Karen who?" zach asked confusedly.
"You don't know?" ask Rodney. Zach shaking.
"Of course he doesn't know Rod. Did you forget who Zach was? He won't want to know if it's a woman's business" Daryl said.
"Well, yeah... That's right."
"Arrh.. Alright, alright. I don't know. Who's she?" ask Zach. They entered their classes. Daryl stopped immediately, as did Rodgy and Zach.
"That's her. Karen Wheeler." Dary pointed at the two women who were talking. Zach looked at them.
"Where's Karen?" ask Zach.
"The long black hair is wavy, the eyeballs are black and wearing jeans and long sleeves are black."
Zach looked at Karen. Karen doesn't look like a woman who can hit a man.
"He's a tomboy. Struggles with the kids here a few times" Daryl said.
"Nobody can beat him?" ask Zach.
"No, nothing yet. He was so good at fighting" said Daryl then walked onto his stool. Zach still stood up and looked at Karen until finally their eyes met.
'She doesn't look like a woman who fights. Her... Well-favoured. Oh christ! What's wrong with me? Why do I praise him? I've really gone crazy.' murmured Zach.
"Why are you Zach?" asked Rodney who was still standing next to him and saw Zach shaking his head and smiling.
"Eh? Aahh... I was just imagining how the woman hit Matt" Zach said quickly.
"I'm sure it's very Hilarious.." Rodgy laughed loudly. Zach nodded. She looked at Karen again and Karen also looked at her but only briefly then turned her eyes and spoke again with Nat.

Zach took to the basketball court and stretched his muscles. He looked at the ring that had been destroyed and was no longer there. The ring was replaced with a new ring.
"It looks like they've replaced it" said Daryl, who looked at Zach's vision.
"Yes, that's right."
"All right, let's get together" said coach Robbins. "We'll practice as usual and there will also be new students coming into the team."
Zach and Daryl looked at each other. New student when the game is near?
"Include yourself." coach Robbins ordered.
"Hi all, my name is Braddy Riddle. Call me Brad."
"My name is Adrian Payne."
Zach gawked in disbelief. 'They... '
"Payne? Are you related to Zach?" ask coach Robbins.
"Of course sir, he's my cousin. Right Zach?" ask Adrian. Smile expands. Zach took a long breath.
'I have a bad feeling about this'
