My Werewolf Prince's

Banshee's Curse?

'Come on Ryan, we're back. I'm sure Tania-"

Ryan snarling. Kei surprised.

'I'll still go.'

'And ignore my orders?'

'You are nobody. I will not bow to you.'

'Basic stubborn! You betaku Ryan. Stop this hard on your head! Not for me, for Tania.'

'Don't bring my brother into this matter!'

'You know how hard Tania made that decision?! He didn't want his brother to die!

'Living as a monster like this is like dying for me. Don't block.'

'I'm not going anywhere Ryan, even though we have to fight.'

'So be it.'

Ryan snarled and jumped up and down towards Kei. Ryan tried to bite Kei's neck. Kei avoid. Ryan kept trying to bite Kei. Kei tried not to hurt Ryan. He didn't want to hurt Tania's sister, nor did he want to hurt her own. Humans sometimes find it difficult to accept themselves as werewolves and Kei understands that.

Kei's body was hit by Ryan's kick. Ryan raised his claws again. Kei quickly dodged, avoiding Ryan. Ryan stared intently at Kei then ran towards him and clawed at Kei. This time he managed to claw and bite Kei. Kei groaned in pain. He knew Ryan was strong but he also had to try to fight back without hurting him.

'Ryan, enough. Stop all this.'

'You said you wouldn't let me go even if we had to fight. Comeing! We fought. Aren't you the alpha? You've boasted your title to me.'

'I don't want to hurt you! And I don't boast of my title, but I use it as your alphabet.'

'Cowardly! You can affect Tania and Andy but not me!'

'I don't affect anyone! I beg Ryan...'

'Then let's fight.'

Ryan lunged at Kei. Ryan attacked Kei evading.

'Oh come... Do you dare not bite me?! You're such a coward! Is it because I'm Tania's sister?'

Ryan kept attacking Kei. Kei crashed again. This time he growled furiously and jumped up high. Kei bumps into Ryan and makes him fall and restrains Ryan's wolf body with his legs. Ryan's body was already under Kei. 

'I don't dare you, I just don't want to hurt you! My claw will heal long because I'm alpha, my bite will be deadly because I'm alpha. You're going to die!'

'Because it bites me! Make me die!'

'You are so stubborn!'

'Yes! And I will never obey you. You are not my alphab!!

Ryan's last words made Kei very angry. Ryan hit Kei. Kei can maintain his balance. Kei growled furiously and attacked Ryan. This time Kei did not hold it anymore. He was covered by his anger. He attacked Ryan, hit him with his head, kicked him and scratched him. Ryan just realized why Kei is an alpha. Kei is very strong. Ryan grimaced in pain but he did not give up. He continued to fight Kei while enduring the pain. Ryan's body hit a big rock.

'Stop this.'

'No going!'

'Obey me!'

'No going!'

Kei is getting angry. Ryan was standing on all four feet. I heard the sound of broken bones. Ryan widened his eyes. Kei turned into a Lycan monster. The monster was enormous, its body far surpassing that of Ryan's wolf, standing on two legs, its eyeballs were white and it had dense gray hair. Kei had never turned into a monster since he almost killed Tania. The monster snarled loudly, its breath hunting.

'You're-you... You're.."

Kei shouted with the voice of the monster. Ryan slowly stepped back. Ryan jumped up and tried to attack. With a single swing of his hand, Ryan crashed violently. Ryan got up and attacked again. This time Kei lifted up Ryan's wolf body easily then flung it away. Ryan groaned in pain. Kei came to Ryan again. Ryan tried to get up. Ryan snarled and jumped towards Kei. Kei swung his claws and hit Ryan. Ryan was thrown rough. He was lying down, it was hard to get up. His blood was flowing from his body. Ryan's got Kei's claw. Ryan turned back into a human. Ryan held her stomach. Kei came to Ryan again in anger.

"Y....!!! Stop that!!" Tania stood in front of Kei. Kei paused for a moment and walked again. "Let's!!! I warned you!!"

Tania pointed at Kei and stared angrily. Kei fell silent then turned into a human again. Tania was still staring at Kei furiously.

"Ta-Tania.. I-i..."

Tania turns to Ryan and helps him stand up.

"Come brother, let's go. Can you stand up?"

Ryan stood up slowly. Blood was still flowing from his body.

"Let's just be your highness." Ian bargained. Ian and Aaron pushed Ryan away.

"Tania.." persuade Kei.

"Don't!" Tania looked at Kei angrily and then went to follow Ryan.

Kei sighed violently and ruffled his hair.

"Aarrrgghh!!! stupid you Kei! Why can't I control my anger?!"

****

At night, Livia stands behind Tania's house, staring at Tania's bedroom window. Ryan's been treated at alpha Sebastian's. The lights in Tania's room still seemed to be on. Tania's voice is still talking to Andy. Livia stared at the window in silence.

"What are you calling me for, Livia" said someone who had just arrived. Livia. The guy's closing in on Livia.

"I'm sorry, Miss Magnofold but there's something I want to say" Livia said.

"Then why should we be here? Isn't that Tania's house? Mate from Kei?" ask Kate.

"That's right. Something's happened to her" Livia said.

"Something's going on? To Tania?" reset Kate. Livia nodded.

"Yes. I know I can't ask the elected for help. Elder forbids. That's why I'm asking for your help Miss Magnofold-"

"Kate, just call me Kate."

"Kate, okay. Because I know you and Miss Maythem are the closest and most trusted of the chosen ones."

"Then... What's wrong with Tania?"

"A few days ago a Banshee came."

"Banshee?"

"Yes, he screamed. Of course because someone died and it looks like the dead were the people Banshee knew."

"Then?"

"I bewitched the Banshee into fainting. Tania approaches him and suddenly the Banshee wakes up and holds Tania's hand and says something. I don't know what it is but... It's like an ancient prophecy."

"Pregnancy? Not spells?"

"If it's a spell something will happen, but Banshee's not a witch is she? He won't be able to cast any spells. So I assumed it was a prophecy and it seemed like I had heard of it but I forgot where."

"Have you asked that Banshee?"

"He doesn't want to talk, about anything. In fact he didn't even want to talk about how he got to Sebastian's alpha territory because Sebastian's alpha made sure there wasn't a Banshee in his territory all along. They've also been trying to figure out where this Banshee came from, but it looks like someone erased his tracks."

"That's weird. Why did they send Banshee here?"

"Frightly so."

"He said uhmm... What do you call an ancient prophecy in front of Tania?"

"Yes, and since then there's something from Tania that uhm... Different."

"Ahh right, you are the magician of Augury. I almost forgot. You can feel the sign."

"Yes, right. We Augury witches can always feel it. That's why I asked for your advice. What should I do?"

"Supervise Tania for now. Do not escape from your supervision. Report if something happens. I'll ask Elder to send someone to pick up that Banshee."

"All right, I'll keep an eye on it. But... If I may know.. What happened to the chosen one? It seems like the old Elders are so worried."

"There's nothing with him but indeed Elder is a little overwhelmed."

"Did something happen?"

"Pandora's box."

"Pandora's box?" reset Livia. "That box was stored in the forbidden item in the Elder's office, wasn't it?"

"That's right. Someone opened the box and stole one of it."

"But the box contains..."

"Don't say it is..."

"really. That's what he stole. That's why I'm asking you to be careful. Watch Tania, find out what's wrong with her but you have to be careful, it can kill witches. The Elders still did not know where it was now. We've commemorated all the whites in the world."

"alright. I'll be careful."

"good. Tell Lily. I'll find out about the Banshee and tell Bian. Remember, report it to me if anything happens."

"Good."

"Be careful Livia."

Kate's teleporting. Livia looked back at Tania's window. This time the lights were dead and silent. No more voices of people talking. Looks like they're asleep, I'd better go.

Livia. From inside Tania's room, Tania stood beside the window in the darkness. From his lips slanted a faint smile.

****

Tania ran and kept running. But the road seemed to have no end while the sound kept approaching. Tania stopped her steps and regulated her breathing.

"What's that noise and where am I?!" Tania panic. The voice got closer and kept calling out his name. Tania ran again. He was very tired and his legs hurt. He could barely run. His breath was already breathless. Tania turned around, trying to figure out what the voice was. He narrowed his eyes, searching in the darkness. The longer the sound gets closer. Tania walked back slowly. There was smoke suddenly appearing. The smoke grew more and more and more and was in front of Tania. The smoke formed a figure. Woman figure. Long hair and long clothes, just from the smoke. The woman looked at Tania sharply. Tania was still walking backwards slowly. Suddenly the woman opened her mouth and shouted loudly, showering Tania with a lot of smoke made Tania close her eyes and block her gaze with both hands. Tania did not pay attention to the road anymore. He didn't realize there was a hole behind him. Tania stepped into the hole and fell down.

"Aaaakkhhhh....!!!" Tania screamed and woke up from her sleep. He's sitting. Sweat drenched his body and head. His breathing and heartbeat were so fast.

"Tania...!!" Andy went into the room and approached Tania. "Tania, are you okay?"

Andy looked at Tania. Tania closed her eyes and tried to catch her breath. Andy hugged Tania.

"It's okay Tania." Andy patted Tania's back. "Are you having nightmares again?"

Tania did not answer. He's just still surprised.

"It's okay, there's a big brother here and it's just a dream" Andy said. Tania nodded slowly even though she wasn't sure.

Ever since meeting and holding the stone from the Banshee, Tania had always had nightmares and strangely the dream felt so real. Even he felt the fatigue of running, when he ran in his dream. Tania is determined to return the purple gemstone to Banshee tomorrow. Yeah, should.

****

"none? How come?" Tania surprised.

"The Banshee has been picked up by the Elders for questioning. Alpha Sebastian agreed to that. He felt that Banshee would be safe and comfortable with a witch" Jake said.

"Oh no." Tania fell down and covered her face with her hands.

"Uhmm what's really going on? Is there a problem?" ask Jake.

"No, Jake. Nothing." Tania replied quickly then smiled. Jake nodded.

"Tania..!!" call Kei. Tania turned her head but immediately threw away her face and left. Kei. "Tania, hey.... Wait a minute."

Kei managed to hold Tania by holding her hand. Tania stopped her steps but did not stare at Kei.

"Let's talk, let's finish this. I beg. I can't see you're constantly angry at me. It hurt me, Tania."

Tania did not reply, only sighing. Kei stepped forward and stopped in front of Tania.

"Look at me, Tania" said Kei. Tania was reluctant at first, but she finally looked at Kei. "I'm sorry, I'm guilty. I used Lycan to control it not to hurt Ryan. No, no, I don't want to give you that excuse. But your brother is very stubborn. I'm sorry to say it but it's true. He's very stubborn. He didn't want to obey me or acknowledge me as his alphab."

"Do you value that obedience so much?" ask Tania. He looked at Kei in wonder.

"I don't judge that, Tania. But we are werewolves, it's already our natural law. Ryan is a werewolf now, he must obey the laws of that nature, Tania. He used to be an ordinary human now a werewolf, moreover he was a beta. It is very rare for an ordinary human to turn into a werewolf and become a beta. Usually they will turn into omega or warriors. Being gamma is rare. A beta? Very rare. Only a few in this world. Beta has a huge power Tania. He should be able to control it immediately. I don't care if he's going back to college like he used to. I will let him live his old life. But he has to control it. We don't want him to hurt anyone and change in front of a crowd, do we?"

Tania was still silent. There is no word from Tania, Kei continued.

"Because of that, we got Ryan in control of his female power. By himself? He won't control it quickly. With his pack, he would be able to control quickly and well. He must also have the leader Tania, in order to be in control. I bit him, so according to the laws of nature, I am his alphan. So she had to obey me so I could control her. She bet me Tania, so she's my responsibility. Sometimes he gets angry and loses his control. If he obeys me, I will be able to control him. If I can control him, he won't hurt anyone else. To be controlled, he must obey me. Trust me, Tania. I was wrong because I lost control. But I was just trying to make him obey. I really didn't mean to hurt her."

Kei looked at Tania. Tania was still silent.

"Alright" Tania said at last. He looked at Kei. "I'm sorry but don't hurt her again."

"I'll try, I promise."

Kei hugged Tania and kissed her.

"Thank you." she whispered to Tania.

"Key."

Kei let go of his embrace and turned to the person who called out to him. Andy had stood by them since then and listened to everything. Andy's approaching.

"Sister Andy?"

"Hello Tania's. I know you're off today, but that doesn't mean you're here early in the morning. Brother's looking for you everywhere." Andy scolded.

"Aahh sorry brother. Did you pick Tania up here?"

"No, brother came to talk to her." Andy pointed at Kei with his chin.

"Sa-my?"

"Yes, you. Let's talk, four eyes. Tania, take care of Ryan."

Andy walked away. Kei looked at Tania for a moment and then went after Andy. Andy sat down on the grass and looked down, towards the city. Alpha Sebastian's house is on a hill. Behind and in front of the house there is a forest that surrounds but on the right side can be seen the view of the entire city.

"Sit down." ask Andy when Kei gets next to him. Kei complied and sat down next to Andy.

"I'm not a werewolf, which means your alphabetic powers have no effect on me" Andy said. Kei smiled.

"Yes, I know that."

"Then how's Ryan doing?"

"Sister Ryan is good. I've licked his wound to get well quickly." Rich Kei. Andy looked over and stared in disbelief.

"Lick? Ughh disgusting." murmured Andy. Kei chuckles.

"Yes sounds disgusting. Because of the wound he got from an alpha, then only alpha saliva could make him recover quickly. Take it easy, I lick it in the form of a wolf, not a human."

"From what I've read, well I've researched a lot about you guys after knowing you're around... I mean I really exist. You can heal yourself quickly, no, very quickly. Does that not apply to the new werewolf?"

"Ohh don't believe too much in what you read on the internet and what you watch in movies. We can heal quickly but it takes time. To be seriously injured we also need time, even though we don't need medicine. For Ryan, Ryan was injured by the alpha. An alpha wound will take a long time to heal. An alpha bite can cause death for a werewolf. And I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Andy patted Kei on the shoulder. "I know you didn't mean to hurt her."

"Thank you for believing in me."

"Then... What are you gonna do?"

"Well, we just wait for him to recover and then we'll train again. I'll try to train him again."

"Ahh not about Ryan, about Tania."

"What's up with Tania?"

"Are you getting married?"

"What?" Kei surprised.

"You said Tania was your mate, your life partner. The werewolf was destined to have only one mate in his life, that's what you told me and Tania was your mate. How then? You guys got to get married? But you're still in school" Andy said confusedly. Kei laughed a little.

"I will marry her, but not anytime soon. Kei is also still in high school, Kei has to graduate first. Kei's still a snot kid anyway, that's what Ryan said. Snot baby. Difficult to control emotions, desires... I was afraid that marrying Tania in that condition would hurt her and I didn't want to hurt her. I love him, he is part of my life. But I will not bind him to my immaturity. Because it'll hurt him."

"You look grown up to me, even more so than Ryan. Well maybe because you're the king and the alpha. It makes you an adult."

"Yes, maybe."

They stared at the city below them.

"But I trust you Kei, you'll take care of Tania and won't hurt her."

"Of course not, I promise."

Andy smiled and put his left hand on Kei's shoulder and laughed together. The scene was witnessed by Tania from Ryan's bedroom window. Tania smiled happily seeing her brother look familiar with Kei. Tania closed her curtain and looked at Ryan who was still asleep. Tania looked at the flower that was on the nightstand next to Ryan's bed. The flower looks so untidy. Tania walked over and tidied up the flower. But before long the lilies blackened and withered. Tania was surprised and took a few steps back.

"Why did the flower suddenly...."

Tania thought there was magic in the flower so it made the flower wither. Tania turned around and wanted to report it to Kei, but she accidentally saw his hand while about to close the room door. His hand was emitting purple-colored smoke.

'Wait a minute, did the flower not wither because of me? What's wrong with me?!'
