The Earth is round shape. Oh, yes; it is quite similar to a sphere. It is nothing but a seemingly tiny celestial body, quiet and suspended in space, rotating and moving fast in a large orbit around a very bright star. That lonely star, let's point it out clearly, is just a median sun like many others across the vast universe. But for all these things to happen, gravitation has become the key. According to Sir Isaac Newton, every point mass attracts every single other point mass by a force pointing along the line intersecting both points. Therefore, gravity is responsible for the formation of the cosmos itself. Without gravity, the universe would be out of energy and composed only of equally spaced particles. Down here, on Earth, it gives weight to objects and causes the tides. Gravity has an infinite range, and it cannot be absorbed, transformed, or shielded against. It is perennial and ubiquitous. It brings order to what would otherwise be chaos. All in all, it's a well-done job, my friends. Gravity rules it all. In modern times, Almighty Gravity has become God.
Standing against these scientific assertions proven right for so long does not seem a wholesome option nowadays; that would definitely sound lunatic, utterly obscurantist, and ridiculous in modern life. But for Professor Hermann Weiss, a Cumbrian senior teacher, an old geologist in his last year at Blessed Sacrament's, that seems not. Though he never ever foreknew that his bold and unexpected behavior might become so dangerous, or he actually did? Where does that eerie earthly force even more powerful than gravity come really from? He never thought it would become suicidal, or he actually did? Who is this murderous Maxwell's demon haunting the modern world for free? And what about yeh, mate? Which effing side are yeh on?
Hunter Anther was like an open book, he'd never been afraid to be his true self. Especially his sexuality. However not everything is for everyone. Being born to the one of the largest pack to ever exist, he wasn't accepted. He became an abomination. Everyone hated him and often bullied him, even his family.
He'd hoped that after meeting his mate, regardless of gender he would finally find peace and happiness. But the moon goddess truly wasn't fond of him because in addition to being an outcast, he wasn't blessed with a wolf.
What happens when his future Alpha, aka biggest bully and former friend turns out to be his mate. Will he accept and care for him or make him lose the last bit of hope he had? Like a saying goes 'The grass isn't always green on the other side.'

"I didn't mean it.. I.. I was young and ignorant..." he tried to explain while clenching my hand, I looked at him in disgust and pulled my hand away.
"What about me? How old wad I to deserve all the things you did to me?! Tell me, how was I different from you? Four years ago you rejected me after everything you've done to me. It wasn't enough punishment for you, you didn't even spare me a glance after ruining me. You left me, you are not gay."
My voice trembled bit at the end but my face remained as emotionless as ever. I will never give him the satisfaction of seeing me vulnerable, not again. But why does my heart feel like it's bleeding? Shouldn't I be hating him and happy that he's on his knees begging me. So why am I tearing along with him?

How many of us believe in second chances? Does love really conquer it all?
This is not a 'love is blind' story, if you're looking for one.
