EVER AFTER

Chapter 1

Sebastian

"Hey man, did you hear the news?" My best friend/ future beta Kody ask.

"If its about Stephanie and her boyfriend then yeah, I heard.." I stated plainly while I walk towards my locker.

He just rolled his eyes at me, "No dickhead its about Alec and his friends!"

My eyes widen, while I stop in front of my locker as I look at him with a grave expression.. "Oh, that..."

"And what you think about it??" He ask curiously.

"Well, I actually don't have any idea. But I heard my dad is talking to someone from the council or something.." I shrugged my shoulders as I shove the books that I'm carrying in my locker and slammed it shut.

"..that's it.." He gawk at me.

"Why, is there something I need to add about it??" I ask while I begin to walk towards our first period which to my utter dismay is my worst subject -- Math!

Vacation is finally over and today is the first day of school as me being a senior. But there is no excitement in the air, as every student has gloomy and grim expressions on their faces and some even wear black mourning clothes.

Well its not a surprise because Alec and his friends are pretty popular --- for a human. Alec is the captain of basketball team in our school and a pretty good guy to everybody.

Maybe that statement is confusing but quite frankly I'm not like him, or more clearly I am not human..

I am a werewolf, and infact the future alpha to my pack -- The Silver Moon Pack. Our pack is actually pretty big with almost 1000 members. And the only werewolf pack here in Miami.

I guess there might some smaller pack in the area but I actually don't have any idea. As my father is very adamant on talking to me about pack business. Yes, I have my trainings under him. But if its about serious matters then its a big no no for me.

Well since he's pretty young and all, at the age of 35. He don't want to burden me with work, because as he always say I'm free to do whatever I wanted to do.

And it doesn't help that I'm their only child. Making my mother fuss about me all the time. And seriously its very embarrassing that they consider me as their baby even though I'm clearly big enough now.

Its not that I hate it, and I actually understand their worrying because they just want to protect me as good parents that they are, and I'm quite happy for it even though I don't say it out loud.

"Hey Seb! Yo hoo!" Kody scream loud as he snap his fingers in my face.

"What?!" I ask clearly annoyed.

"Geez, what crawled up in your a*s and die!" He quirked his brows at me and smirk smugly.

I felt my hand twitch as I glare at him.

"Well Kody, just hearing your voice will make anyone grumpy..." A gruff low voice suddenly state.

And there is Seth, one of our friend and my future gamma, with a smirk on his annoyingly handsome face, and both arms tightly holding the biggest sluts in our school. Mandy and Jeanna.

They're both wearing short skimpy skirts with too tight shirts that left nothing for imagination. And both have suggestive smirks as they eye us seductively.

Seth is a pretty good guy but unfortunately he is the number one player in Haledale High School.

Kody, Seth and Me are the most popular guys in the whole school. With tall ripped figures, and God like looks that no one can't take their eyes off us.

Everybody wants to befriend us, but we never get attached to humans. We have our own group which consist of werewolves from our pack.

But even though we are all popular we are not the stereotype bullying jocks, we are actually pretty good guys. That's also probably the reason why the other students adore us.

"....and so some people think that some sick psycho is the suspect and now is on the loose! That's actually the reason why the mayor enforce an early curfew.." Kody's over dramatic voice suddenly drift on..

"Is it possible that its actually a human?" I ask.

We all look at each others faces, I don't know since when but to my surprise Seth is alone and the slutty girls that with him is actually no where near us.

"I don't think so..." Seth suddenly murmur.

Kody ears perk up and his eyes become excited, I just sigh from his reactions.

"Why? Have you heard anything?" Kody ask excitedly.

We all know that Seth's father is the head chief of the police in town as he is also my father's gamma.

"Yeah, actually its very confidential." He whisper, we all stop walking and grow rigid. Confidential, is our safe word for all the incidents in our town that's clearly have a connection in the Supernatural world.

"f**k!" I curse under my breath.

"And not just that, I also heard my father was talking in the phone to someone from The Council. And I think they are going to help with the investigation.."

Our eyes widen.. "Oh, s**t!" Kody, exclaim with shock expression.

Its not good, not good at all. If The Council is stepping in and will be helping us. It only says one thing.. Whoever or whatever is attacking in our town is clearly not human and most of all dangerous.

I am so tired, not to mention hot.. Well, damn I know I'm hot but not that kind of hot, geez! I mean I'm sweating bullets and I am so f*****g messy!

Who the f**k have the right mind and let me come in this for godsaken state. Ugh, whoever it is I'm really gonna rip its throat out..

I slowly walk over to the benches and sit down as I fish out my phone from my pocket and dial the number of the i***t who is possibly the number one on my 'I kill you' list.

"Where the f**k are you?" I growl and I almost laugh hard when I heard him whimper on the other line.

"I'm sorry Sir, but there is an accident and I'm stuck in the middle of traffic.." He whisper and if not to my super hearing I might not hear him.

My left eye twitch from annoyance as I start to rub my temples.

"Clearly there's nothing I can do about that.. I will wait for you here, just drive safely and don't bump that car.." I state sternly as I hung up.

Think about being unlucky..ugh, leaning my back on the plastic bench inside the airport I let the air condition of the place to cool me down.

Its been a ages since I've come in this place. There is only a handful of Supernatural in this state and there has never been a problem with them until now.

The Supernatural that living here is not the main problem actually, but the unknown darkness that's lurking behind the shadows. This particular force is been giving us problems since last year. But we never get any leads on who and what they are.

Their M.O is always the same. Hacked bodies, gouge eyes from the sockets then smashed heads, but now there is something different.. The heart of their victims is cleanly dug from their chest and neatly piled up in a circle with some weird writings and a black candle in the center.

A very big difference in their actual work, that's why I came here to investigate it personally and to finish it all once and for all. This problem have been gone long and I'm getting impatient with it.

Sighing loudly I take a sniff of the scent that I am sick on smelling -- werewolves.

I know from all the reports that there is a pack here, the Silver Moon Pack. A very old pack of werewolves that's been here before the humans came along and modernized this whole place.

They are not that bad, actually they decided to stick on this place not like the other packs that move on most rural places. As they choose to live with the humans and coexist with them.

I do not know how many hours had pass, as I let my mind wonder. Because when I look up Rex is already in front of me and its getting dark already. He is a panting hard and soaking from head to toe with his sweat.

"Oh, you're here already.."

"Yes Sir," he wheeze.

I stand up and pull my small duffle bag with me. As I begin to walk along with him towards the car.

"Come on, I still need to see the crime scene before we go back to your place."

"Yes, Sir.." He hurriedly open the door for me and start the car.

"The streets are empty, that's weird..." I exclaim when I see the empty streets that we passed by.

"That's probably because the Mayor enforce an early curfew..., Sir.." He reply back in a small voice. I can hear the loud beat of his heart and smell his fear. God, for being a big guy he is pretty damn scared of me. Not that I can't blame him, because he might be big but he sure knows that I can kill him without lifting a finger.

"Pretty wise move for a human, hmm oh I forgot he is a keeper huh?"

"Yes, Sir.." He answer.

Keepers are humans who knows about us, but gave an oath of alliance with us Supernatural with exchange of protection from us.

Looking outside of the window, the sky is painted with the beautiful shade of orange and indigo making the whole place reflects a peaceful ambience.

But I can taste it in the air. The looming danger is near. Something is out there and we have to find out it soon, before this peaceful world become completely shattered...
