It turned out that David's cramp pain was nothing serious, but since half of the school day had already passed while he was at the hospital, he decided to stay home. There was no need to rush to school just for half a day. As he took some calcium pills, he heard the phone ringing. Greg was calling him."Hey Greg, what's up?""…""What? Did you forget how to talk?""Wendy … Wendy is gone…"Hearing that, David couldn't believe it at first. But knowing Greg well, he realized that Greg wasn't the t

As if someone had just turned on a tap, it started raining in the middle of the last class of the school day. Not many predators stepped out into the rain, but universally, all the human kids did. It was better than staying in a building full of predators who wanted to devour them. The trio stood by the main entrance."Good thing I don't live far. So, what would you say to coming over, you two?"The grey werewolf offered the shelter of his home to the human the owl. "Sounds good. We should hurry b

Tuesday was murkier than the day before. When Greg woke up, he was a bit relieved that the sun didn't seem like it wanted to kill him. As the young wolf strolled down the hallway to meet his friends, he noticed something unusual. Two other human boys stood in front of them, and although he couldn't hear what they were saying due to the crowd, the expressions on his friends' faces showed that they weren’t pleased. As he drew closer, staying in the blind spot of the two boys, he began to fai

Working in an office can be tedious, but it was always delightful to find mischievous kids to deal with. It meant she could enjoy a nice meal. Sirza had heard about a human kid named John who'd been sentenced to detention. There was no way she'd let that little troublemaker end up anywhere other than in her belly, wrapped up in her slimy embrace.A slimy and very acidic embrace.Her scaly neck swelled with the shape of the boy's head, then his shoulders and chest, so everyone in the hallway could

He was ready to end his life.That bear needed to die. His fangs were bared, dripping with saliva slightly mixed with blood. Greg was about to sink his teeth into the bear's throat, rapidly descending. But something other than himself held him back at the last moment. An invisible force.The young wolf turned to see what caused it. To his surprise, it was someone. He had expected David, but David had long since gone home.It was Sarah.he stood with her wand outstretched, likely using a wordless spe

Greg's feelings about watching someone get eaten had eased. Before his amnesia, he must have been more resistant to such a sight. But the spell had done something to him—something deep in his instincts told him there was something important to remember. Now that Noah had been eaten and was the last human in the pred class, Greg felt a strange sense of relief. For a while, at least, he wouldn't have to deal with another human in that class. It was a confusing mix of emotions: happiness at s

The hotness was bearable yesterday. But on Monday it got worse. And canines can't sweat. He waited outside of the school for his friends as usual but in the shadow of a tree while panting. Not with a big open mouth but just a discreetly open mouth. Once Wendy and David show up he can get inside the air-conditioned building. But that was still not good at all. As usual, they showed up in the distance but had a confused face where was their big, grey-furred friend. So he stepped out of the shadow

When Greg woke up on Sunday, he heard noises downstairs. The young wolf clambered to his feet, letting out a groan as his muscles twinged. Most of his wounds were shallow, but he still felt them. Many of his scars from last night were hidden under his grey fur, so unless someone was specifically looking for them, they wouldn’t notice. Other than that, he was fine. When he entered the living room, there were two guests on the sofa. His mother's coworker, Kibi the badger, and her son Bean, w

Once the parents left, Emily focused all her attention on her new fluffy friend who would be watching over her for the night. She raised her arms and said."Up. Up."As Greg crossed his legs, he placed Emily on his left shoulder, gently supporting her back and legs to keep her from falling. She played with his ears, and it was soothing for both of them. He flapped his ears a few times, and she happily called him "Fluffy". It looked like that was his new name. He hoped that no one will ever know ab

Friday came, and generally, every student felt a bit relieved that another week had passed for them, undigested. However, the young wolf didn't feel that way. Even though he was the one who wanted it, he was still not happy that the basement awaited him, where a lot of pain was prepared for him."Did you notice any changes throughout the week?" Asked Mr. Wood as he checked the serum."Maybe it got worse. My frustration started to grow. There was another werewolf who grabbed me by my shirt and rais

At the start of Thursday, Phil and his friend Carson, who was also human, found a good hiding spot behind the school where most people couldn't see them. Phil then took his first puff from a cigarette. *cough cough* "Man, this thing is strong.""I never said it was weak."They really thought no one saw or heard them, but they were wrong. A certain naga psychologist heard the coughing. Unfortunately for them, they didn't see her as she waited for the perfect moment to ambush the offenders.She was h

"Let me see your arm."Greg raised his right arm. The one that had been injured by Urs back then. Sarah examined her work and there was no scar left on the werewolf’s arm."At least your parents didn't find out that you had a fight with a bear.""Only a mother. I never even had a chance to meet my father.""Sorry. What about that bear? Have you had another fight with him ever since?""Well, I got assigned to the same class as him in pred class. But my childhood jackal friend, Kal, became friend

"Are you excited about the company night? It's the 25th anniversary, right, Mom?" "Yes, it is 25 years old. It’s a shame you can't come on Saturday." "Yeah, it's just for husbands and wives. But I guess it would be really strange if I showed up.""Well, have fun at school. Bye." "Bye, Mom."An event for company employees was coming up soon. Gregory thought it was good that she'd get some time to celebrate too. She works so hard almost every day. She might love the change.As usual, he waited

*GASP!*Greg woke up in his bed, feeling more shaken than ever before. This was his worst nightmare yet, even without Grace. The images lingered, leaving him feeling awful. Deep down, he knew the nightmare reflected his own fears. Seeing himself as weak and vulnerable. Determined to keep it hidden from his mother, he steeled himself for the morning, hardening his heart to face the day."Good Morning, Greg.""Good Morning, Mom.""Tomorrow, I'm not coming back from work. Another business trip. I'll be

David and Wendy chatted with each other while Greg peeked around the corner, deep in thought. *What should I do? Should he tell David what happened to Hailey? And if I don’t, what will happen if this gets out?*After taking a deep breath, Greg composed himself and decided to pretend that nothing had happened. After all, he had good chances. He just needed to act like usual.*Just stay calm and everything will be fine.*"Hey Greg, you did what you wanted?"David asked."Yeah, I did it.""What was

Adrien closed the door after the two wolf guests left the house. They hadn't expected that one of her patients would visit them. The first weekend in a new house turned out much better than they had anticipated."Well, that went good." "Indeed, I already had forgotten that they live here."A few minutes later, dinner was ready. As the husband fed their daughter, he noticed his wife watching them lovingly."What? You're not hungry?""I am but .. I think I want something else for dinner." She said thi

It was a beautiful Sunday morning, and as usual, Velvela had to work, leaving her son behind in their big house. But at least someone was happy to take care of him. Just as the mother wolf was about to leave, there were two knocks on the front door. She opened it to find her good friend and neighbor, Grace, waiting on the doorstep. The human teenager had beautiful blond hair tied in a ponytail and was holding a carton box in her hands."Good morning, Grace."With a smile without showing any teeth.

The young wolf used every bit of his strength to try to break free. His neck was chained as well, so he couldn't look around freely. There was nothing within reach that could help him.*Is this how it's going to end? Chained while someone tears my heart out? No, it can't end like this!*He needed to get out. The door opened, and two other figures came in. They wore the same clothes as the woman from earlier, but their masks were different. One had a simple white snake mask, while the other one wor

Friday morning…Velvela went to work. Once again, her son was struggling. He had lost his best friend because he inherited something from her husband. She wanted to help, but she knew it would probably worsen the situation. They needed to sort things out between themselves. For work, she needed to shut everything else out and focus. It was hard, but she did her best. The traffic was as usual, so she reached her workplace on time. At one of the red lights, she noticed a commotion right beside he

"David?""I don't want to be your friend anymore."*What does he mean by that?* Greg heard the words clearly, but his mind couldn’t process them due to the shock."We should talk about this. I don't know what happened, but you can tell me."Before Greg could reach out to his shoulder, David gripped his wand at his side, a clear threat."Don't come ever near me or I use this."Then he began to walk away from the wolf. It was a sight Greg never imagined he would see. They had been such good friend

It was a relief that they didn’t need to take the bus. On mornings like that, the buses are crammed, and it’s kind of dangerous too. Being squeezed in with hungry predators is definitely something you don’t want. But that morning was different. The trio happily strolled to school, where they could learn something new every day."Next time, I will win the quiz." Said Greg proudly."No way, you're too slow for that.""But I almost won.""Almost is another no. But yes, you clearly kno

Even through Greg was curious about the robed figure from his dream, he still felt awful. The years had helped him somewhat because his wasn't on Grace. But after the second hypnosis session, all those memories resurfaced. He just hoped that his mother hadn't heard him crying while he slept. But every time he felt down, David was always there to lift his spirit. He had an idea."Mom?""Yes?""Can David and Wendy come over for the night?"It was the first time her son wanted to invite someone over af

A new Monday rose on the horizon. What had first seemed like a curse had later proven to be a blessing, and now it was over. However, the aftermath was still in effect. The young wolf still had his friends, and everything seemed brighter. Studying was neutral, but that didn't bother him, especially when he got to talk with his friends. Even idle chat made him happy, as his wagging tail showed. Wendy and David were more talkative, and although they didn't know what he had gone through the previou

"This is yours."As Greg held out the keychain, he waited for her response. He was certain she was there. Even if the wolf couldn’t see her, he knew she was watching him, carefully considering her next move, whether to run away or finish him off. It was all up to her. Then, he noticed a faint noise from behind. It was her in the semi distance. The girl stood there, out of reach like 10 meters away with her back to him. Every little detail was right. The hair, the height, even the clothes. T

The morning came quickly. By the time everyone had finished their morning routines, Greg was feeling better. David had been a truly reliable support for him. Without David, Greg would have likely felt just as he had the day before. All four of them gathered in front of the house before parting ways to tend to their daily tasks. "Greg, please stay good friends with David and Wendy." "I will. Thank you for letting me stay for the night." "Come visit us again sometime. Just let us know in advance s

The wolf ran down the hallway to the bathroom, grabbing the sides of the washbasin as he continued panting. Tears began to stream down his face as he looked into the mirror. Greg had wanted to learn more about his past, but not like this. Overcome with emotion, he suddenly felt a surge of anger at the sight of his own reflection and smashed the mirror. After composing himself, he left the bathroom, pretending that nothing had happened. He was relieved to find the hallways empty, allowing him to

Finally, a clear target. Greg was certain that he had followed that girl. But why? That was still as dark as the night. According to Dr. Fang, there were only a few girls who could be the culprit, all of them skilled in magic, which could be tricky to deal with. What if she did this to him again? Or worse. What made it even more difficult was that the entire act was legal, so neither the police nor the teachers could do anything against that girl. It might have been self-defense.Greg couldn&rsqu

After getting up from bed, Greg went through his morning routine like everyone else and headed to school. On the way, he thought that even though the school year had started a few weeks ago, there would be friends he most likely wouldn’t recognize. That would be more embarrassing than having to learn all the teachers' names againA lot of troublesome situations went through his mind because of this. What if a bully used this opportunity to do something really uncool? As he turned the last c

Greg lay on the concrete of an alley and slowly awoke with a headache, but he didn't know how he got there. "Ahhh, this pain. How did I get here? I can't even remember," he said as he got up on his legs.He looked around and saw that the street was just up ahead, so Greg went that way. The strong light almost blinded him. Judging by the light, it must have been midday. As he stepped outside, he looked in awe. There were all kinds of creatures besides humans, in all shapes and sizes.Nekos, bears,
