Bukk!!!
Zach slammed onto the ground, but he immediately stood back up. He tried to block the blow he was about to receive. Once, twice, Zach can dodge but..
Bukk!! Bukk!!
Zach was hit again. This time Zach did not get up straight away, but instead lay on the ground. He held his breath for a moment and sat down.
"Can we rest for a while?" zach Pinta.
"No, can't Zach. You have to practice" Roland said.
"But we've been doing it for two hours. I'm already tired. I may have a wolf in my body but I'm still human!" zach protests.
"Hey, then you think we're not human?" Brad also protested.
"Why am I the only one doing this? Austin and Brad don't?"
"That's because they've been through this exercise before. Let's go on." take Roland again.
"Let me this time." said Adrian.
"No, no. If he did, he would be brutal. I could be a corpse."
"Don't overdo Zach."
"I'm not overreacting. You hate me."
"I? I don't hate you. Don't fabricate. Not that you're nicknamed the ice prince or... What's name? Anyway it. But you don't look like that. You're such a fuss."
"I don't care. I want a break."
Zach stood up and cleaned his pants. He walked to his bag that was with Rodney under the tree. But when Zach ducked down to grab a drink something passed him. A medium-sized piece of wood passed through it and hit the tree almost even Rodney.
"Hey! What the fuck?!" squeak Zach. "You almost hit me and my friend!"
"I haven't let you rest Zach" Adrian said.
"I just want a drink. You don't have to use violence like that anyway. You just say it." Zach looks angry.
"If I just say it, do you want to obey him?" Adrian said. He smiled cynically. "Not going to Zach."
"Why do you hate me?"
"I told you I don't hate you" said Adrian coldly. "Come, continue."
Adrian is preparing a little distance from Zach's stand. Zach clenched both his hands. He's so upset. Zach finally came to Adrian.
"Let's get started" Adrian said as Zach was already in front of him. "Strike me."
Zach threw punches, kicks but nothing hit Adrian. Adrian hits him straight away and hits right in Zach's face.
"Come on Zach, we're fighting with our wolves. It's been a week that you've only been training like this and there's absolutely no progress" Adrian said. Zach has been trained for a week by his wolf friends. His father was willing to do something so he could not train him.
"I don't want to. You know I can't control it." Zach said flatly.
"You won't be able to control it if you continue to be unwilling to change and use the wolf" Adrian said.
"I don't care. I won't change."
"Bas stubborn." Roland shook his head.
"In that case, I will force you" Adrian said.
"Hey, hey. No need to be forced that way. Let it go." said Roland.
"He'll never change Roland, I can assure you. He's too cowardly." joked Adrian. Zach is grinding his molars.
"I don't care." said Zach.
"But I care."
Adrian returns to hit Zach who is not ready to take a hit. Adrian is still attacking. Roland tried to stop Adrian. Brad and Austin were already standing near them, preparing to break up.
"Adrian, enough!"
"Roland, are you unconscious? He can change if he's angry" said Adrian, who stopped the blow.
"What do you mean?" Roland looked confused.
"Didn't you remember? It was me who made him angry back then, therefore he turned into a wolf. So I'm gonna make him a wolf again."
Adrian attacked again. This time no one stopped him. They all know sooner or later, Zach must be able to accept if he is a werewolf and he must also be able to master it all.
Zach can withstand Adrian's attacks, even retaliating. Roland did not remain silent. He also attacked Zach, as did Austin and Brad. The four of them attacked Zach. Zach trouble. He was already lying on the ground but the four werewolves kept attacking him. Rodney who saw wanted to help but he would not be able to fight against the four werewolves whose strength was much stronger than him.
"Abkkkhhhhhh......!!!!!"
A woman came with a long piece of wood in her hand. The woman attacked Adrian, Roland, Brad and Austin. Those who were shocked by the arrival of the woman immediately retreated. The woman was still shaking the long wood. Then he stopped and put the wood behind his body.
"Who are you?!" ask the woman.
"Who are you? Why did it suddenly come and attack us?" ask Adrian.
"Of course I attacked you, just look you guys aren't even good enough to fight one man who's already helpless." hardened the woman.
"If you dare to fight me! Don't you dare fight a helpless man!!" the woman challenged them. He took out his long wood and prepared.
The four werewolves looked at each other confusedly. They knew if this person in front of him was an ordinary human, especially he was.... Female.
"What are you waiting for?! Come fight me!!" challenge the woman again.
"Karen?" call Zach. Karen looked.
"You stay there, let me face them." said Karen steady. Karen took a step forward to make all four go home.
"We don't want to fight you" Roland said.
"You cowards!"
"What did you say?!"
"Adrian, enough." Roland.
"Karen." call Zach again. Zach was already standing behind Karen while holding her waist. "I'm fine. They're not wrong, they're just-"
"Where is it wrong?! You were powerless earlier but they still beat you. That's so disgusting." Karen was still staring furiously.
"We still won't fight you."
"Why? Because I'm a girl? Then don't think of me as a girl." Karen leaned her long stick on her front shoulder and took a hair tie and tied her long hair. "Let's fight me!"
"Karen..." Zach is back.
"You stay there" said Karen. Roland smiled at Karen, as did Brad.
"Sorry, but I can't" Roland said again. Of course she can't, Karen is just a normal human being. Karen snorted in annoyance.
"If you don't want to fight me, let us go, me and him." Karen pointed at herself and Zach.
"Hmmm... Okay?" roland said confusedly.
Karen then pulls Zach's hand running away from them. Zach's right hand was pulled by Karen while his left hand held her waist which was still painful.
"Karen.." call Zach. "We are far away from them."
Karen stopped her run and looked back.
"You sure? We better keep running." Karen pulls Zach's hand, wanting to run again but Zach stops her.
"They won't catch up" Zach said. Karen sighed then nodded with Zach's hand still in her hand.
"They're not wrong, Karen" Zach said. "We're just practicing martial arts."
"Hey, no one practices martial arts like that!! It tormented his name!" karen Protest.
"It's not like you see, trust me" said Zach softly. Then he woke up. Since when can I say soft things like this? On one... The girls?
"Alright, fine if you still want to defend them" Karen said resentfully. "Know I didn't save you." muttered Karen as slow as possible but of course Zach heard.
"Now you know I'm okay?" ask Zach. Karen nodded. "So now you can take my hand off."
Karen looked into Zach's eyes and then her gaze went to his hand that still held Zach's hand. He was shocked and then let go of his grip. Zach held back his smile.
"And I can't get out of this forest either" Zach said. Karen nodded.
"Why?"
"I'm just wearing these shorts. I'm not even wearing a shirt" Zach said.
Karen's eyes were round, her mouth wide open. Karen quickly turned her body. He cursed himself for not realizing it. Wait, those four people are also... Akkkhh shit!
Karen hit her head off. Zach tesilik.
"I'm fine, you go Karen." pinta Zach. Karen turned her body to face Zach.
"Where do you know my name?"
"Who doesn't know Karen Wheeler, the guy who hit the school basketball team captain? I am also a member of basketball. Of course I know." replied Zach. Karen nodded her head. His eyes are on the sixpack Zach's stomach. He secretly praised Zach's body.
"Are you going to stay there looking at my body or are you going to be home soon because it's going to be night." said Zach. Karen turned her eyes.
"I don't look at your body. Huh! Too confident" said Karen.
"Are you sure?" seduce Zach and walk closer to Karen.
"What do you want?" asked the surprised Karen Zach approached him. Zach stops his steps when he gets very close to Karen. Karen was nervous. He just realized who Zach is. Zach is famously handsome.
"Your winds... Strange." said Zach. He frowned.
"What do you mean weird?" Karen smelled her body.
"Youyou.." Zach seemed to think. He looked at Karen. Freaky... Why does it smell so bad? Strawberry and Vanilla Mint. Did he use that soap or that smelly shampoo? Why so stinging?
"Thank you, Karen..!!" zach said half-crying then he smiled.
Why am I acting so weird? I said softly to her then I smelled that strange smell, making me want to keep smelling that smell and the weirdest thing is that I wasn't being cold to her! Ha! This is the first time I've not been cold to a woman, other than my mother and my cousin. It's weird, it's so weird..
"Zach...!!" call Rodney. Zach. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, sure."
"Karen Wheeler's. I didn't expect to see him here." Rodney murmured. "It."
Rodney handed Zach a shirt. Zach wears the shirt and hangs his bag on his back.
"They said you could go home" Rodney said. Zach nodded. Karen who melted the cold zach, had seized her mind.
****
Zach walked quickly to his locker. He was already wearing his basketball uniform as today there would be a basketball game and his school was the host. Zach's looking for Rodney's whereabouts.
"I'm not sure what you're saying is true" said Zach, who had arrived at Rodney's locker.
"But that's Zach's truth, I read it myself in a book" Rodney said.
"The book is wrong" said Zach.
"Maybe, but is this wrong too?" Rodney opened his bag and took out a rather thick book. He opened the page he had marked as a werewolf. Rodney pointed at a picture of a wolf there.
"What's with the wolf?" zach asked confusedly.
"That's you."
"I? It's impossible."
"Zach, I saw you change. Your wolf is colored exactly like this and your eyes are also red and... This mark. This is the exact same sign you have. It's the same with Zach. On your dark forehead." Rodney explained.
"So you mean I'm..."
"Pure descendants. You're a descendant of the first werewolf ancestors. Your ancestors were the first werewolves of Zach, the same as the king of the lycanthrope. And the mark of pure descent is that he's an alpha from birth. Unlike other alphas whose alpha status was passed down by his father."
"Then what should I do?"
"You are Zach's strongest. You must control your power, your serigalam. According to this book, you are the alpha who will be the companion of the king of Lycanthrope. You have to practice with your serigalam."
"No, that's not possible. You know what happened last time Rodney. I don't want to do it anymore." Zach refused.
"You should be Zach. Adrian's right, you have to use your serigalam."
"No, Rod. It was dangerous and Adrian was a psychopath. He hates me."
"He doesn't hate you Zach."
"He hates me Rod! Didn't you see her treatment of me? Who are you really friends with?" Zach grunted in annoyance.
"I'm your friend but Adrian did it for a reason and I know why." Zach looked at Rodney in wonder. "Because you're a pure descendant and that'll get you in trouble. You'll be the target of enemies who don't want you."
"Why don't they want me? What's wrong?"
"Your fault is only because you're a pure descendant of Zach." Rodney put the book in his backpack and closed it and locked the locker.
"So this is." continued Rodney. "A king of Lycanthrope was a pure descendant. Beside the king, there will be pure alpha descendants, you and the two pure beta descendants as well. They were merged into one, then it would become an invincible army of werewolves. As long as you know, no one wants that to happen. The other pack, do not want to be led by anyone other than their alpha. They're too greedy and envious."
"So you mean?"
"I mean I'm... Adrian wants you ready, if anyone knows where you are and attacks you. Zach, you don't have a beta yet and it's gonna get you in trouble."
"How am I gonna have a beta?"
"From what I read, you'll feel your presence."
"Well, the book was very useful. Where'd you get it?" praise Zach. Zach is sometimes confused because Rodney, who is just an ordinary human, knows more about werewolves than he is.
"I found it in the attic of my grandmother's house in Alaska. That's when my grandmother died."
"Or don't-don't... You were a werewolf too?"
"I? Just be right. I've checked my whole family and my family are pure descendants, you know? The purebreds of ordinary humans." Rodney said, making Zach chuckle.
"Do you want to decide on your purebred man and become a werewolf? You said a werewolf bite could make you a werewolf. I'll be happy to bite you." teased Zach.
"Aahh no, no, no. Even though that ordinary human is weaker than a werewolf, I still want to be an ordinary human. So, no thanks. Keep your teeth away from me."
Zach laughs amusedly. He was just teasing his friend. Suddenly Zach's laughter stopped. He saw Karen at the end of Rodney's locker line. Zach looked at Karen in silence.
"Do you like it?" ask Daryl who's been standing behind Zach and Rodney. They were both surprised.
"You surprised me" said Zach.
"Obviously you're surprised. Your eyes don't stop looking at him. Do you like it?" ask Daryl again.
"Of course not. You're crazy." Zach protested.
"I'm not crazy. If a Zachary Payne stares at a girl for more than three seconds, that's an amazing thing and you're looking at her...." Daryl saw his watch. ".... For one minute. That's already at an incredible level."
"Agreed." Rodney supports.
"You guys are crazy."
"Take him."
"Where to?"
"Zach, three more days of valentine's party, remember?" Daryl. "So.."
"Aarrrgh... I told you I didn't want to go to the party" Zach said.
"You should go Zach. You're a romantic prince this year" said Daryl.
"What?! Who nominated me?!"
Daryl just shrugged his shoulders and told Zach to take Karen.
"Ughh alright. But if he refuses, I won't go and no one can force me." Zach said. Daryl raised both hands.
"Please" said Daryl. Zach rolled his eyeballs and walked up to Karen. Half way, Zach is back.
"Uhmm what should I say?" ask Zach. Daryl patted his eel.
"Say you took her to the party."
"Aakhh well, whatever."
Zach walked back to Karen. She again smelled the scent of Karen's stinging body again but strangely she liked the scent so much.
"Ehem..." Zach berdehem's. Karen and Nat look over. "Hi."
Karen became nervous, especially after that embarrassing incident. Karen turned her face away, trying to hide her nervousness.
"Karens... Uhm..." Zach looked back, at Daryl and Rodney. Daryl still supported her to speak again. "I.. Um.. Want to go to a Valentine's party? With me?"
Karen gawking. What's with him?
"Uhm.. Karen?" call Zach.
"Eh? Oouh´s.. Uhm.. I'm not leaving" said Karen at last.
"Ohh okay, all right" said Zach.
Zach went and went to his friend.
"He said he didn't go so... Don't force me anymore" Zach said. "Come on, the game's about to start."
Zach waltzes off to the gym for a basketball game.
"Are you sure you don't want to go Karen?" ask Nat.
"It seems so." said Karen.
"Are you crazy? Zach took you, Zach!!"
"Then?"
"Do you know who Zach is? He's the most handsome boy in this school and he's so cold."
"Then?"
"Then... Then if he asks you, doesn't that mean he likes you?"
"What?! That's impossible."
"That's probably Karen. Zach it's so cold with all the girls, Karen. He never spoke and even greeted a girl. Well except for Gia, her cousin."
"Maybe because he's gay?" guess Karen.
"Maybe, I don't know. But somehow I'm sure he's not gay. He doesn't look gay to me."
"Not all gay men look gay Nat, they can hide their identity."
"But I'm sure Karen."
"Suppit. I still don't want to go."
"All right, it's up to you. Let's go watch a basketball game."
"I don't want to." refused Karen.
"Oh come on Karen... I want to watch the handsome faces of our team. You know, a lot of girls from other schools come to see our players. We don't want to lose."
Nat pulled Karen's hand. Karen shook her head and followed Nat reluctantly. From afar, a person who observes all of this in silence then smiles sarcastically.
