(POV Tristan)
Tahimik kami na kumakain ni Lancelot. A part of me is glad that I am with my bestfriend right now. Lancelot was a brother to me at kahit nagka hiwalay kami ng landas, I still feel that brotherly attachment.
"Gwenevere is not alone. Tama ba?" change topic ko kay Lancelot after our awkward silent dinner.
"No she's not. Palaisipan din sa amin ang mga nangyayari. We have several instances in our family and they are stuck in werewolf form for almost a month now. We don't know how it happened but the First Heirs are taking care of it."
The first son of an Alphas is called the First Heir. They were the first Direct Heirs at nagsisilbing head ng mga family. In our family, Meshach Eriksson is our First Heir and the most respected man in our family aside from the twelve Alpha.
However, Meshach did not tell me about these weird transformation. I don't why he chose to hide it from me, pero malaki ang tiwala ko kay Meshach.
Tahimik kaming nag didinner ni Lancelot. If there are several werewolves that are transforming without control, isa itong malaking problema. Hindi lang sa pamilya ko kundi sa buong Werewolf Clan.
"Lancelot, I am certain you understand my situation and responsibility to Eliana. When you marked Olivia before, I let her go though I loved her. I hope you would do the same with Eliana," sabi ko after a long silence.
Lancelot just smiled bitterly when he heard the name Olivia. I can no longer see any pain from him when I mentioned her name. Time can indeed heal all wounds.
"Tristan, I loved Olivia as much as you loved her, but with Eliana, it is different. Hindi mo siya mahal. Hindi mo siya gusto. You are just two strangers caught in this mysterious accident. You're just marrying her because the Eriksson blood runs through her now."
"At ikaw? Mahal mo ba siya? You speak as if you know know her. She's young and naive. Paglalaruan mo lang siya tulad ng ginawa mo sa lahat ng babae after Olivia."
"I told you, I like Elle. She does not judge me. She likes me as a friend. Unlike you, you have no interest in her."
"Lancelot, do you think I have a choice? Akala mo madali sa akin to? Parang inagawan ko ng freedom yung batang yun. I felt guilty na naging werewolf siya dahil sa kapatid ko."
Lancelot looked at me and flashed his all knowing smile. I am sure he has a ridiculous idea running in his mind right now.
"Yes, you have a choice, Tristan. Don't marry her and I will mark her instead."
"What? You're crazy. That's against the law! Once I marked her, you can no longer mark her again. And she'll turn into one of us by the next Red Moon, that is why I need to marry her fast."
Lancelot just looked at me with those burning eyes. Somehow, I can feel that Eliana is really special for her to suggest this absurd offer.
"Think about it, Tristan. If you want this responsibility to be lifted, I will give you a hand. It's a win win for both of us. Elle would choose me as I'm her friend than you who is practically a stranger to her."
"Our blood is running in her veins now."
"Tristan, you are the Direct Heir of the Werewolf King. I think we can bend some rules. Think about my offer. I will marry her instead on your behalf."
Lancelot offer is really appealing, but I doubt that Eliana will agree to this. If Lancelot will marry Eliana before she completely turned into a werewolf, makakawala ako sa responsibility ko kay Eliana. But my sister will be hurt the most and I don't think Eliana will do it. Even if Eliana has feelings with Lancelot, she will definitely put Gwenevere first.
I haven't told my parents yet about my sister's condition. Kahit ang wedding plans, I kept it a secret. No one knows about this except me, Eliana and Lancelot.
Pagdating ko sa bahay, it seems that my werewolf protege is nowhere to be found. The last message I received from her is nakauwi na siya sa bahay. I tried to call her, but her phone is ringing in her bedroom.
I scanned every room, but she's gone. Her scent is still lingering here kaya mabilis kong inikot ang buong bahay. I found her lying on the grass lawn sa garden. She's unconscious and naked.
Why is she naked on the grass? And fuck! Why do I suddenly feel affected? She's a damn kid!
"Eliana, what happened?" I gently shook her shoulders while covering her body with my jacket.
"Tris...tan?"
"I'm here. Bakit ka nandito sa labas---"
But she hugged me before I can say another word. I can hear her heart pounding fast on her chest. She's scared and she's crying.
"Ssshh tell me what happened. Don't leave any details behind."
"I turned... I became... a werewolf... It was frightening. Akala ko I will stay in that form forever," she said while sobbing.
Impossible! This is not even remotely possible!
"Wait? You turned? Hindi pa Red Moon."
A young werewolf child will turn into a complete werewolf on his or her eighteenth year on the next Red Moon. Newly turned werewolf will also transform into werewolf during the next Red Moon. No one ever turned earlier than that.
"Tristan, di ko alam ang gagawin ko. I thought I can control myself but all I want is to hurt the next human na makikita ko. I want to ripped them into shreds. Bakit ganun? Akala ko ba mild na beings ang mga werewolf? Tristan, I felt like a monster!"
"Hey, it is fine. I am here, Eliana and I will not leave you."
"Feeling ko, daig ko pa ang mga serial killers sa Criminal Minds sa urge ko na pumatay ng tao. Para akong sinaniban ng mga demons sa The Exorcist. Tristan, it was really scary."
"How did you stop it?" I asked as I cupped her face. She is crying and she's almost hysterical.
"I don't know. Nag blackout lang ang lahat and di ko na alam ang nangyari after---"
That's the last thing she said before she passed out. Mabilis ko siya dinala sa guestroom at binihisan ng damit. Kung anong na experience ni Eliana, this is related as to why my sister is still in werewolf form for days now.
