Just Another Wolf Story

CHAPTER 1: LYCANS > HUMANS

"One thing that I really, really, REALLY hate tuwing papasok ako is the presence of pompous Lycan jack-ass roaming around our school. I mean, we get it, you wolves are far more superior than us humans, but that doesn't equate to being a jerk. Heightened lang ang senses niyo, nakakapag palit anyo lang kayo, pero sa ikatatahimik ng mundo please lang ilugar niyo naman yung God-complex niyo. Sucks to be with them. Hindi naman sa paglalahat pero, compared nung elementary ako, na ka-vibes at ka-tropa ko naman yung Lycans. In fact pantay lang ang trato namin sa isa't-isa. Pero habang sa paglaki ko tuluyan na atang na-distort yung notion ng equality dahil sagad-sagaran na kung magminataas yung mga yan. Sarap konyatan isa-isa grrrrrrrr." - Cute_doge14, posted 14 hrs ago

Okay. Picture this. We are in the era where a new-humanesque specie emerged upon the existing evolutionary tree. Creatures often used fictitiously now came into existence. Parang dati lang humaling na humaling ka sa mga shape-shifting wolves na may mala-Adonis na counterpart. Yung dating nagfi-feeling ka na isa kang nakatakdang magpapaamo sa pinakatigasing Alpha ng isang makapangyarihang wolf pack. Poof, wish granted. We are now entering a new era where Humans and Lycans and other human-morphs coexist.

Siyempre, sa unang stage ng coexistence and co-dependence, hindi maiiwasan ang superiority-inferiority system. Ang mga First Gen Lycans, still overwhelmed with their supernatural abilities, are the first to claim the throne. Kaming mga tao, siyempre hindi magpapatalo, hindi magpapadaig- patuloy pa ring nakikipagsabayan sa mga Lycans. Call it a petty feud between the two different species. Syempre, kailangang ma-settle agad. Kaya agad na itinatag ang unang series ng Lycan Laws.

According sa stock knowledge ko, ang purpose ng Lycan Law, obviously, ay mapagkasundo ang tao and mga Lycans sa pamumuhay kasama ang isa't-isa. Tipong Mutualism or commensalism na inapply on a massive scale.

The Law taught us to acknowledge and respect the differences of both Humans and Lycans.

The Law taught us that Lycans are superior to Humans on many aspects, but the Law also taught us that Humans are also superior to Lycans on different aspects.

Isingit ko na rin siguro yung mga natutunan ko sa Lycanthropy 11 (Introduction to Lycanthrophy) last Sem

1. Lycans are either born when the Moon is at its fullest, or in rare cases, when the Moon is at its darkest.

2. For every Lycan born comes with a newborn wolf that will serve as an extra companion. Tipong naka-synchronize na kada may pinanganak na Lycan, may isang wolf na ipapanganak rin.

3. Lycans start to mature at the age of 16. Hence, yan na yung time na nagpapakita na ng senyales for them to transform on its Wolf-forme. Rite of passage para sa mga nagdadalaga at nagbibinatang Lycans.

4. May mga cases naman ng Lycans who mature at the age of 18. Late bloomers ika nga. Yun nga lang, kinda slim chance to find their mate compared sa nag-morph ng maaga.

5. Fun Fact: Sexually active na rin sila during and after their morphing stage. Thus, the Scent, the Mark, the Heat and the Mating

6. The Scent- self explanatory

7. The Mark- self explanatory

8. The Heat- self explanatory

9. The Mating / Mate - self explanatory

10. Alpha, Beta and Gamma, Omega, Rogues - self explanatory na rin yun

11. Mating is not heterosexually exclusive. Applicable also with inter-specie mating.

What a better way to spend my last day of vacation (and the last day of being fifteen) other than the company of Nightshade along the solitude inside the woods.

I was stroking Nightshade's ebony fur when she began squirming away from my hold. Kanina lang payapa kong kinukuyakoy si Nightshade pero napabalikwas na lang ako nung kumawala si Nightshade at nagtatakbo papasok sa masukal na kakahuyan.

I stood up and quickly dusted off my shorts, at agad na sinundan si Nightshade na bigla na lang kumaripas ng takbo. I followed her tracks and quickly saw Nightshade's tail wagging while a group of boys pets her-

Lycans. Oh fuck.

Walang nagawa yung mabilisan kong pagtatago sa likod ng puno dahil sumigaw na yung isa sa kanila, na sinegundahan naman ni Nightshade.

"Wag ka na magtago diyan sa likod. I can still smell your scent."

Tugtugtugtugtugtugtug

"Show yourself human. Don't be rude."

Fight or flight, fight or flight, fight or flight

"Hindi naman kami nangangagat." dagdag pa nung isa. Followed by a cackle.

I stepped out of the shadows, feigning a stone cold, fearless expression while I'm scared shitless inside. Okay, I'll just wolf-whistle and some exchange of words then we'll flee.

Nagsisilapitan sila. I maintained my composure as I prevent myself from flinching due to their growing presence. Six feet between us remained and they halted. Senenyasan ko si Nightshade at kaagad naman siyang lumapit sakin.

The tallest, and the bulkiest of them began talking

"Cute pet huh? You call her Nightshade, right?" said the leader of the pack, presumably

I vomited a string of "Yeahshe'smypetwolfaalisnakamibye"

They chuckled. I just clenched my lips and hoped that this conversation will end quickly. Sumunod na nagsalita yung chinito, na halos kasing-tangkad (what do I expect sa mga Lycans?) rin ng soon-to-be Alpha nila.

"Hold up. Talk slowly will you? Bakit ba kasi palubog na ang araw at nandito pa rin kayo ng alaga mo?"

"I said aalis na kami." I said back

"Hindi mo pa sinasagot yung tanong ko." giit niya

"You don't wanna know."

"Rude human." sneered the leader of the pack

"May pangalan ako, and it's Xyle. Stop calling us just 'Human'." I spat back

"Feisty" dinig kong side comment ng isa sa mga alipores niya

The leader of a pack stepped closer and I was immediately shadowed by his torso and bulging frame.

"Xyle, or whoever the fuck you are. It is a prerogative to get the hell out of the woods by this time. Unless you want to be fucked up in the ass by the wolves that will be Morphing here tonight. Trust me, you try to fuck us up with your bitching attitude, and we'll fuck you back straight up in the ass."

He held my chin and tilted it upwards. He was gazing my eyes as if he is peering inside my soul. His eyes, his grey eyes- hypnotic, yet fiery, piercing, stone-cold, like staring into the vast expanse of oblivion.

"And by the way, the name is Redd."

He inched his face closer, down my neck, and inhaled sharply. A deep, abysmal growl immediately followed-

"Run."

I don't need to be told twice.
