KABANATA 2

The gentle rain stopped. It's like the clouds were crying with Ethan and the rain suddenly went away— taking his pain with it.

Ethan- no, the big wolf stood up on all fours and Alpas is laying down in between its legs.

“T-the fuck?” As a teacher, he never said these kind of words. But with his current situation, he couldn't help but blurt it out loudly.

Sino nga ba namang hindi mapapamura kapag bigla na lang nagpalit ng anyo ang tao na nasa kaniyang harapan.

Alpas was definitely terrified and thrilled at the same time. His body was covered with goosebumps.

Ethan- the wolf, stretched and looked at Alpas curiously. Sensing Alpas' terror, he whined and bowed to sniff his scent.

Alpas raised his hands to push the wolf but his strength wasn't enough. He laid helplessly with both of his hands pushing the chest of the wolf and he closed his eyes, praying silently.

Alpas was genuinely scared, naiiyak na siya at gulong-gulo paano nag-ibang anyo si Ethan.

The wolf successfully bent down and licked Alpas' neck, as if he is comforting him.

He is really Ethan. Even him can't believe that he turned into a wolf. The pain went away quickly and his body felt much different. He can see even if it's dark— a night vision, his sense of smell and hearing is sharpened as well.

His body felt so foreign right now but nevertheless, he is glad that the pain is gone. The only thing that he is scared of is— how scary he look right now.

Judging from Alpas' trembling body, he felt that his look is indeed scary. He wanted to comfort the man under him but he can't really speak right now. He can only lick his tears away.

“Please, huwag kang matakot.” Ethan thought to himself.

Lumipas ang ilang minuto nang kumalma si Alpas. Naka-ipon siya ng lakas at tinignan niya sa mata si Ethan. When he is sure that there is no real danger, he sat up slowly without breaking the eye contact.

Sumandal siya sa puno. Tapos bigla siyang tumawa. He doesn't know what to feel anymore. He even think that everything is just a dream and he will wake up later still in school.

The wolf titled his head in curiosity and he sat in front of Alpas.

“Ikaw ba talaga yan, Ethan?” tanong ni Alpas.

Ethan let out a sound, agreeing to Alpas.

Alpas pretended to come back to his calm and composed self. Everything he experienced for the past few minutes were all a lot to take in for him and he is taking his time to digest everything. Anyone will surely be overwhelmed.

“You can't go to the dormitory like this. Hindi ko rin alam paano kita i-uuwi.” sabi ni Alpas.

Ethan whimpered in reply.

Naglalakad lang si Alpas pauwi dahil malapit lang ang nirerentahan niyang bahay sa school.

“Can you try shifting back to your human form?” tanong ni Alpas.

Ethan stood on all fours and he looked like he is focusing on something.

Hindi mapigilan ni Alpas na tumawa ulit. Kahit na malaki ang nasa harapan niya, mukha naman itong harmless at the same time, clueless.

The big wolf shook his head and sat back down, he's disappointed because he can't shift back to his human form yet.

Hindi mapigilan ni Alpas na maawa kay Ethan. Hindi niya rin alam sa sarili niya kung bakit gustong gusto niyang tulungan si Ethan.
