Summary: Arioka Daiki is a 17-year old human, non-existing boy at school. He stays low and unnoticed to hide his dark secret. He’s gay. Takaki Yuya, a werewolf and the soon to be Alpha of his pack, has been looking for his mate ever since he had his 18th birthday.
Daiki’s POV
“You guys are so mean. You went to watch the game without inviting me!” Kamiki was pouting for he was not invited.
“Because we know that you’ll be whining and irritate us to no end if you were there.” Haruna scoffed.
“Even so, you could have been nice enough and asked me.”
“I’m sorry Kamiki. Next time, we’ll ask you for sure.” I grinned at him. He’s a good guy.
“Is that a promise?”
“Yep. Stop pouting man, you’re gross!”
I watched as Haru-chan and Kamiki joked with each other. They are so good together. I sighed and bid them goodbye to get my books in my locker. I hate being alone for it’s scary and I feel like the people around me are continuously watching me and I feel uncomfortable. I was so lost in thought that I didn’t see a brunette guy in front of me.
“I told you to watch where you’re going.” Oh no! It’s him. But what made me speechless was the warm feeling that flowed through my body. Takaki dragged me under the stairs and pinned me on the wall. My heart was beating a thousand beat and I couldn’t breathe. His face was so close to me and I could feel his warm breath. His face was getting closer and I swear I saw his eyes changed color from brown to golden yellow. My eyes travelled to his lips and for a second I fantasized that I was kissing them.
“What are you doing?”
“Huh? Uh, nothing.” I swallowed hard. He totally ruined my moment.
“Were you thinking of kissing me?”
“Yes!What? No way! I mean..no.” I really can’t breathe anymore. Please kiss me so I can breathe again. Wait, isn’t that suicide? If he kissed me, I’ll die of suffocation. You’re so stupid Daiki.
“Be careful. If you’re always spacing out, you might hurt yourself.”
“Y-yes.” Does he care about me? My cheeks were warm and I knew I was blushing.
Takaki licked his lips and swallowed. He leaned his face on me. No way! I closed my eyes. This is not possible. Okay, maybe a little, but he has a girlfriend! Somebody help me!
“Yuya!” I felt the warmth went away and I missed it in an instant. It was embarrassing. We were caught by another senior. A beautiful senior, I heard his name’s Kei. Yeah, Inoo Kei.
“What are you doing Yuya? Let’s go.” Was it my imagination? His eyes turned back to brown and he turned serious leaving me with weak knees and damaged lungs. Just at the same time my friends arrived too.
``Dai-chan. Did he hurt you? Tell me. I`m going to kick his ass. `` Haruna and Kamiki ran to my rescue.
``N-No. I`m fine.``
``Are you sure?``
``Yes. Thanks.``
I was already in class when my thoughts travelled again to when Takaki Yuya was about to kiss me. Or was he? He was so warm and his breath was minty and his face… Shit! It was all a joke. He wasn’t going to kiss me, he was about to strangle me to death. I shivered at the thought but with the way he looked at me, it was like he has found his prey, and his eyes, they were golden. I’m not sure but I think I’ve seen them before but I don’t remember where.
“-kun.”
Where have I seen those eyes?
-“Arioka..tion..after class.”
They were scary but I don’t feel any fear at all. I sighed.
“Arioka-kun! See you in detention after class!”
“Ehhhhhh!” The whole class was laughing at me.
Takaki. This is all your fault!
I was on my way to detention room and about to go down the stairs when somebody pushed me. I tried to see who it was but there was no one there. I must have hit my head for when my back reached the cold floor, my world turned black.
“-chan.. Dai-chan.”
I don’t remember how long I was out but I remember somebody lifted me and carried me away from that awful place.
Yuya’s POV
I’m a goner. I totally lost it. I just wanted to see him. I want to look into his eyes but with the slightest touch of our bodies sent me to the edge. It was warm and sparks ran through my body. Cana was growling desperately. Our mate smells sweet and delicious. My wolf moved and we dragged him away from the crowd. His jaw and his neck, I would love to run my lips on them and bite him, mark him as mine. He’s short, soft and beautiful. So perfect.
“So, he’s your mate huh.” Kei`s voice brought me back to focus.
“What? How did you know?”
“You almost ravished him right there and bit him. If I didn’t arrive on time, Cana would have taken over you.”
“It sucks I know.”
“There’s still time. You better work fast to claim him before the next full moon. Your wolf is getting crazy.”
“Yeah. Thanks for coming.”
“Anytime Alpha.”
I wasn’t myself the entire day until my father called me through mind link to run home immediately. When I reached the woods, Kei was already there waiting.
``Where`s Ryosuke?``
``He cannot join. He needs to take care of a friend.``
``Alright. Let`s go.`` We both shifted into our wolf form and ran as fast as we can to reach the pack. . Some rouges were running outside our territory and they need the fighters to be on guard. I have to be there too as the future alpha.
Running with Kei is one of the best. He’s fast, strong, agile and comforting. His fur is beautiful and he has grace. I thought of my mate, only if he can shift he can run with me. I wondered what kind of wolf he’ll be? What would his fur look like? What color? I bet it’s beautiful too.
“Yuya concentrate!”
“Yes.”
“Shit! If you’re going to get crazy every time you think of your mate, I’d better step in. I’ll device a plan for you.”
“No need. I’m sorry. I’ll focus now.”
“You better! You’re the next alpha. You have to be strong and focused. Your relationship with your mate will earn protest from the pack and if you’ll lose yourself like this everytime, you will never win and you will never be able to protect the pack and your mate.”
“You’re right.” Another thing I like about Kei. He’s smart and levelheaded. He’s perfect to be my Beta. Unfortunately though, if we’re going to follow tradition, Hikaru will be the next in-line for Beta unless somebody will prove to be better than him.
“By the way, what’s the deal with the rouges?” I asked him.
“They were trying to catch two wolves. Father and son.``
`` I see. Let`s go faster.``
We were met by other pack members, mostly fighters. Older wolves, women and children are left in the pack village and other fighters also staybehind to protect. We need to finish this fast so I could get to see my mate. I always watch him as he gets home. I`m not a stalker, okay? I just want him to be safe.
The fight already started and my father was furious about it. They went to attack the rogues without his permission and I knew he’s pissed about it and he’ll get to the bottom of what happened. It took us almost three hours to fully secure the perimeter and rescue the escaped wolves. Fortunately, we don`t have any casualty, only wounded fighters but they`ll heal immediately. We went to check on the two that we’ve saved.
``What do you have to report?`` My father asked. My dad Jin, is a respectable man. He holds command in the pack and everyone follows him. He`s strong and charming. Strict, but loving. He protects the pack, his family and he loves my mother, Kame very much. I want to be as great as him.
``Alpha, Okamoto Kenichi together with his son, Keito was a member of Sunrise Pack but their pack was reduced to nothing when rouges attacked them. They believed the rouges conspired with other members of the pack to kill their alpha and beta and take over the pack. When the war broke out, the mother died protecting the boy and the father could have stayed too but he needed to take his son to safety and fled. They were prisoners but escaped and they were hunted by the rouges to be sold. Both were badly wounded but the father was able to tell us the story before he was taken to the pack doctor. ”
“What’s their condition now?”
“They are still sleeping. Given around one or two days, they will be awake and we can question them anytime.”
“Alright. Yuya, place four of our best guards to look after them.”
“Yes, alpha.” I bowed to my father.
“ Koki, call for an emergency meeting. Everybody has to join, no exception.”
“Yes, alpha.” Hikaru’s father Koki, bowed and went out to deliver the message.
We all walked back to the main house when I saw Hikaru with a grim expression. I know he’s an ass but this time, he looked troubled and he wants to kill somebody. Who could have pissed him off again? I shrugged my shoulders but Kei elbowed me.
“The fighters were talking about Hikaru setting foot out of the boundary line when the rogues were about to go for the kill on the boy. Hikaru killed two of the rogues taking the boy within the boundary and then the fight started. ”
I hissed at Kei. “What?!”
“You heard me. He’s gone crazy.” Kei snickered. Hikaru never cared about anybody. Not me, Ryosuke or Kei. We all grew up together but he never cared. But why the boy?
There was tension in the meeting hall when we arrived.
“Who brought a human here?” My father looked serious.
Human?
I scanned the area and all the wolves were agitated. Humans are not allowed unless they are mated with a pack member. I sniffed and my blood turned cold. It’s Daiki’s scent! But why is he here? My dad ran to the main house and I followed. They might hurt my mate!
We all stopped when Ryosuke stopped us by the door. I growled at him.
“Please Alpha.” He bowed. “ I’m the one who brought him here. He was hurt and I couldn’t take him to the infirmary or bring him back to his home without creating a fuzz. I will take all the responsibility but let him stay here and not to hurt him.”
Cana is furious. I’m furious. Daiki’s scent is all over Ryosuke. Daiki is mine. My sanity snapped and I lunged at him and pinned him to the ground. We both shifted and we tried to bit each other’s neck. I couldn’t control my anger. He whimpered when I bit his front leg. I was tackled to the ground in no time no-other than my father while Beta Koki was with Ryosuke.
“Stop it. Both of you!” We relaxed and shifted back to human form. Ryosuke’s shoulder was bleeding. “Yuya, enough!”
“Ryosuke, who is that human? Who is he to you?”
Give the wrong answer Ryosuke and I’ll kill you.
