He pulls up his sleeve and I see the scar. It must have hurt him but I dare not to speak.
"According to the legend," he continues, "Lycaon, the son of Pelasgus, angered the god Zeus when he served him a meal made from the remains of a sacrificed boy. As punishment, the enraged Zeus turned Lycaon and his sons into wolves.
And whoever gets the scratched or bitten by them, they turn into wolves but it must be a full moon day for that to happen. The direct children of Lycaon and his sons are Lycans and are higher ranked in the whole group of ware wolves. They are less in number though and very powerful than ware wolves."His eyes look at mine. "So…you are a ware wolf then?" I rattle out!
He half smiles, "Yes!"
I breathe in. "And Balthazar? And others with glowing eyes?"
"Balthazar is a Lycan. He has some pack members who were not at school today. Others with glowing eyes are ware wolves, yes."
"And…and Zacharias? And his group? They are something else aren't they?"
"They are vampires."
"Oh!" Oh? Really? That's what you say, Kiara?
"We hate each other, which is natural. Vampires hunt, and we hunt them. So basically we are enemies"
I nod my head trying to grab in the information. I let out my breath that I had been holding for long. "How come all of you are in the same school then? How do you all resist each other? I see you all are really very angry when you see each other…then how?"
"That's enough for now Kiara. No more, please? Promise me?"
"But.."
"You will be knowing everything when the time comes! It's safer this way. You already know too much sister!"
Sister. Okay, that's touchy! I nod my head slowly. "Okay"
"Now let's get you home. You must be cold."
"Very cold, brother." I wink at him
"Let's take you home then!"We go back to where he had parked his car. And now, my stomach is grumbling, loud!
"Oh! So you are hungry too? Wanna have something?"
"Our house is near right?"
"House? Haha…you don't feel comfortable there do you?"
"Well, I recently came to know that I am living with people who actually are ware wolves! What do you expect?" I tease.
Aiden chuckles, "Okay, let's head to the HOUSE then!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aiden parks the car outside and we go in. I smell food. My stomach grumbles more.
"Hungry are we?" Matthew speaks. "I am starving too" he is staring at me. I feel that. My sixth sense is telling me.
"We are hungry, yes. Now if you will excuse, we shall fill our stomach yeah?" Aiden speaks. I thank him mentally.
Aiden goes to the counter and brings the bacon, eggs, and bread. "Juice?" he asks.
"Yes please" I smile at him.
"So we have a good bonding here, I suppose?" Matthew asks Aiden.
I see Aiden grit his teeth, too hard. "YES!" a curt reply.
I start chewing the bread…and I feel someone is watching me. I take a glance and find Matthew licking his lips and looking at me with his eyes glowing.
I feel hard to swallow and my hunger is definitely dead in the pit of my stomach.
"I am done. I have loads of home works. I should go. Thanks for the food." I quickly run to my room, without waiting for a reply.
I shut the door and start unpacking my school bag. I check for the assignments, nothing, obviously. It was the first day and I didn't even attend the half class. So I open my laptop and start surfing the internet. I check my facebook and Instagram and slowly my eyes feel heavy. I may collapse soon. I am sleepy but too lazy to get up and go to the bed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sound of thud wakes me up. My neck is paining. and my back too. But before I could stretch my body someone's hand snakes my waist and I fall from the chair I was sitting on. As I slowly turn my head I find the glowing eyes.
"Know a lot about us now yeah?"
Matthew whispers. "and now you know what I am capable of yeah?""W…Wh..what do you want?"
"Oh…and you don't know what I want? Playing innocent here, are we?"
I am getting nervous. My heart is thudding like it would break the rib cage and jump out right into my hand. What is he talking about? Oh god! Hot tears are spilling on my cheeks. I feel his breath over my neck. I feel disgusting like I would vomit out everything right there. My heart is clenching and I am taking short breaths.
"Hurry up darling, I don't have a lot of spare time!"
I feel his hands on my sweater and he is pulling the hem of it. I try to push him away from me, but he is too strong. I open my mouth to call Aiden...
"One word and I will rip your head out of your neck, yeah?"
My words are stuck right there in my tongue. I feel his hands upon my breast. I will die before this even happens.
"You will be someone's mate maybe, but before they touch you, I will have you already. Every day you will remember me before you remember them."
I cannot stop myself from crying. "Why are you doing this?" I push him again, harder. No..please god no…this cannot be happening! What have I ever done to anyone? Please lord…
I feel his hands everywhere, skimming each and every part of my body. His breath is all over me and I hate it. I hate how he is on me and his body is crushing mine and I am not strong enough to get up. I feel him pulling my pants down.
"No...please! Stop!"
I hear him laugh. "If I had to stop, why would I start?" he speaks in a husky tone and that is sickening me from inside. I feel the bile rise up within.
"Kiara?" I hear Aiden. But before I could speak his hands wrap around my mouth and his hands tie me up with his large body on me which is making it impossible to move!
"Kiara, I will be gone out for a moment. Call me if you need anything okay?"
NO..NO..NO..please Aiden just once come in here? I hear him knock on my door. "Kiara?"
I try to move, but it is impossible. He doesn't even budge an inch.
I hear Aiden go downstairs. No noooo! I hear his engine roar up and he is gone.
He pulls his hand out. "AIDEN!!! AIDEN ??!" I shout as loud as I can.
"Aww..sweetheart, your saviour is gone. Now let's have some fun, yeah?"
