Lillian’s POV:
“Come out! I know you are here!” I screamed.
I can hear the beating of my heart racing, aching with pain. Clenching a hand on my chest, I fell on my knees. Tears dripping down my eyes. Hearing the dead leaves crunch, I looked up, seeing him stepping out. Dark blue eyes piercing into mine as the bright moon shone upon his pale skin.
With my trembling body, I stood up, taking a step closer to him while he backed away. “Please, tell me it isn’t true,” I whispered as the tears continued to roll down.
“It’s true,” he responded, face drain of any emotions.
We stood there, staring at one another as the wind blew past us “Why?” I breathe out, lungs unable to intake air properly.
“Because this is the side I’m meant to be on,” he responded.
He took several steps towards me, placing a cold hand on my cheeks. “Tell me, my queen, are you going to fight with or against me?”
I jolt up from the bed, sweats twinkling down my skin as my heart raced immensely, adrenaline rushing through every part of my body.
“Lulu, what’s wrong?” Nick foggily ask as he got up beside me, arms circling my waist. “Did you have another bad dream?” He whispers and I nod, wiping off the tears from my eyes. Placing an arm around me, he laid us back down. Clenching his shirt tightly, I can feel his hand rubbing on my lower back.
Ever since I shift into my human form, I’ve been having these bad dreams very often. I would continuously meet the same people over and over. But, there was one guy that would always appear.
Out of everyone in the dream, I remember him perfectly. Dark brown hair covering his beautiful blue eyes. Pale skin brimming with life under the bright moon. Only one word can describe him enchanting.
I don’t know who he is, but he feels very important to me.
While Nick continues patting my back, my eye grew heavy, releasing a low yawn, I cuddle closer to him and went back into a deep slumber.
Rubbing my eyes, I wake up to see Nick snoring. Poking out my tongue, I lick his neck, showing my affection. I can hear him releasing a low groan. “Lulu, you have to stop doing that every morning,” he grunt, rolling on top of me.
His eyes were still shut, but I can hear him inhaling my scent. “You’re not wearing pants again,” he mumbles into my neck pressing something hard against me as his hand roams down towards my bottom, squeezing it gently.
‘It’s his d**k,’ Daisy said. ‘Say it with me.’
“Dick.”
Nick lifts his head, staring at me with wide eyes. “What did you just say?”
‘Stupid. You said it out loud.’
“I said d**k,” I reply. We both look downward, under the blanket to see a tent in Nick’s boxers. “That is a d**k,” I said pointing a finger downward.
“Who taught you that word?”
“Daisy!”
‘Snitch.’
“Can you please tell Daisy to keep it PG13?” he asks gently.
My eyes narrow as I listen to Daisy respond. “She said suck it" I reply with a smile.
Nick’s eyes enlarge tenfold, pinching the bridge of his nose and inhaled a shaky breath. Suddenly, he slams his hand down beside me. “What does she mean by that?” His voice was a few octaves lower.
My lips scrunch together as I listen to her response. “She said: you know what I mean" I reply giving him a wink. “She also told me to wink at you,” I add on.
His apple adams bobble and he shut his eyes, pinching the bridge of his nose. I continue staring at him, listening to the ticking clock. “Shut up! I’m not going to make her do that!” He shouts out loud causing me to flinch back slightly.
“Not making me do what?” I ask.
Nick’s mouth hangs open for a very long time before he shuts it. “I’m going to take a shower,” he mumbles and dashes into the room before I can respond.
‘Tch. p***y,’ Daisy mumble.
‘Oh! I know p***y! That’s the v****a! Kim taught it to me the other day.’
‘You are so cute, so innocent. Stay that way, Lillian.’
‘Um okay?’
Unable to wrap my mind around what just happen, I got ready for school. Standing up, I pack up the stuff I use to study last night. “Pencil. Check. Eraser. Check. Notebook. Check. Bag of hot Cheetos. Check. Soda bottle. Check. Lollipops. Check. Chocolate bar. Check. Skittles. Check.” I said to myself.
Proudly, I zip up the backpack, patting it twice. Skipping towards the closet, I undress. I grab some undergarments, black pants, and a white t-shirt that says I belong to an Alpha with a wolf print.
I don’t know why, but Nick brought me a butt load of shirts similar to this one. One says I am a Luna with a moon on it. There is another that says Don’t touch my kitty. My favorite is the one that says Alpha’s Little Kitten with a wolf and a tiny kitty on it, nose touching one another.
Taking off my shirt, I throw it on the bed along with the underwear. The bathroom door opens up and I turned around “Lulu don’t forg---” he strays off staring at me.
The towel in his hands drops down to the ground. Water dripping down his lean body, stopping at his black sweats. Nick’s eyes start flickering black as he bit his bottom lips.
Shutting his eyes, he turns around and closes the bathroom door. Turning back, I grab the underwear only to be scared by a loud scream on the other side along with some walls being smash.
I walk over to the bathroom door, knocking it. “Nick are you okay?” I ask. The noises were lower to complete silence. Looking down, I watch the gold handle being twisted slowly.
The door fling open before I can say anything, Nick grabs my wrist and pull me inside. My hand drops the underwear on the ground as he kicks the door shut, pinning me against the wall.
He presses his lips against mine, hands gripping on my lower back. Shutting my eyes, I enjoy the sweet sensation of his tongue while his hands lower, gripping onto my bare bottom. He smoothly slides it down towards the back of my thigh carrying me up. I wrapped my legs around his torso, feeling his hard-on grinding against me.
‘That’s what I’m talking about,’ Daisy moans.
Breaking our heat kiss, Nick presses his forehead against mine. “Lulu you like drinking milk right?” He breathes out.
I nod in confirmation. I’m a cat, of course, I love drinking milk.
“Do you want to try a new type of milk?” He whispers.
‘Oh, this boy.’
‘Huh?’
‘You should say yes,’ she snickers.
‘I should?’
‘Trust me, you would want to drink this milk everyday,’ Daisy chuckles.
“How do I drink it?” I ask.
Nick bit his bottom lips and put me down on the ground. He takes a step. “What am I doing?” He mumbles to himself.
I tilt my head and he glanced back at me, hungry eyes roaming my body. “On your knees,” he demand.
’Do it!′ Daisy yells excitedly.
Slowly, I went down on my knees, glancing up at him. Nick’s chest rise and fall with brute force, breathing was short and shaky. He take a step forward and I can feel a rush of heat radiating from his waist. He stroked my cheek with his hand. “Your milk is right here,” he said in a voice deeper than usual.
“Right here?” I ask touching his d**k causing him to shudder.
‘Lillian have I ever told you, I love being your werecat?’
‘No.’
‘Oh.’
“Yes right there Lulu,” he said in a painful tone.
Lifting my hands, I slide down his sweat and boxers to see something long, wet, hard. Inching myself closer, I inhale its familiar scent.
‘What did Nick use to do with it?’
‘Oh, this will be fun.’
‘Ah, yes I remember now’.
Using my hand, I grab it pulling it in and out just like how Nick would do it when I was a cat. Glancing upward, Nick releases a shaky breath as he continues staring at me. Opening my mouth, I stick out my tongue, closening the distance.
Before I can do anything a white substance shot out, hitting my face, right into my eye.
“Ow! My eye! Nick the milk hit my eye.” I shout, covering up my aching eye.
Looking upward, with my good eye, Nick's eyes and mouth enlarge, fill with surprise.
I can hear Daisy laughing loudly in my head. ‘We got ourselves a minute man!’ She yells with pure amusement. 'Wait no! A second shooter! Get it, Lillian?! Get it?′
‘No, I don’t get it.’
‘Well you see, it’s because we haven’t d-’
‘What’s wrong Daisy? Why did you stop?’
‘Forget it, just forget it,’ she releases a sigh.
Instantly, Nick grabs a clean towel, wiping my face. Frantically, he wet it, rubbing my eyes gently. My tongue sticks out licking the salty milk. “L-Lulu. Th-That wasn’t w-what it was like, I last much l-longer than that,” he shouts in defense as he continues wiping my face.
“Daisy told me to tell you: It’s okay. We can work on that," I said.
The towel drop from his hands as his face grew redder and redder.
When we finish cleaning up and we got ready for school. Nick refuses to look at me in the eye as we held hands walking in the hallway. I twirl in front of him, stopping us from walking. “Daisy said to not be upset. She says we can all work on it together,” I told him clasping my hands together.
Nick pinches the bridge of his nose, mumbling something under his breath. He places a hand in the air and looks at me, opening and shutting his mouth a few times.
After a couple of minutes, he releases a low grunt, running both hands through his hair and dragging his legs back into the bedroom with his head hung low.
When the door shut, I can hear a loud scream and stuff being thrown. I walk towards the bedroom door and almost knock on it until Daisy interrupts me: ‘Give the boy some time.’
‘What happened?’
‘His manhood happened.’
‘Huh?’
‘Oh, my sweet innocent Lillian.’
After some time, I start yawning, bored of hearing screams of profanity and stuff being thrown around. I slide down the wall, hugging my legs, and watch the pack members quickly passes. They keep their heads down, but I would wave and smile at them when they pass.
“Hi there.”
“Good morning.”
“How you do?”
“Nice day today isn’t it?”
I said those things and they mumble a: “Good morning Luna,” before sprinting towards the kitchen.
Half an hour pass and I take out my bag of chip, munching on it. Peeking down at my watch, I realize we are late for school.
The door clicks open and I saw Nick walking out. He's still staring at the ground and when his eyes met mine, his lips scrunch up into a smile. He spread his arms open and I ran into it. “I promise Lulu, I’ll work harder. I won’t disappoint you anymore,” he said.
"Um okay?”
Nick and I went to school, but he was acting weird all morning. He keeps glancing at me, then frowns and mumbling something about working harder.
Rubbing my stomach, I couldn’t wait to go get lunch. Nick takes my backpack, swings it over his shoulder and tangle our hands taking us toward the cafeteria. “I’m hungry,” I whine, tugging his shirt and he grins at me.
“We are almost there, be patient,” he taps my nose and I wrap my arms around his.
‘Pfft. We aren’t the one who can’t be patient, Mister Minute Man.’
‘I thought he is a second shooter?’
‘Both works.’
Walking towards the cafeteria, Joey met us and start chatting with Nick. My eyes roam over to see a bunch of guys and girls in similar color outfits jumping back and forth. “Nick what are they doing?” I ask.
“Oh, they are cheerleaders,” he responds.
“What’s a cheerleader?”
“It means they cheer for the school,” Joey said.
Nick lift a brow. “No shit.”
I clap my hands together. “Oh! That sounds fun! I want to be a cheerleader!”
Nick shrug, “Why not? Go for it.”
“Woah did you just agree?” Joey asks.
“Why not?”
“It’s just Lillian will walk around the school, like that,” he points at the girls.
Nick frowns, “No you can’t become a cheerleader,” he said in a stern voice.
I pour my lips out “B-B-But-”
Nick place two hands on my shoulder. “How about this? We can get you the outfit and you can cheer for me in our bedroom,” he grin.
Joey gags. "I don’t need to know that much about my Alpha and Luna.”
Nick rolls his eyes, ignoring Joey's remark as he looks at me, waiting for my answer.
My shoulders lift. “Sure.”
He pulls me into a hug, swaying us back and forth. “You are the best Luna ever.”
‘Maybe our cheering can help him work harder, last longer.’
Today, I didn’t understand a single thing Daisy said, she just goes off on this random tangent.
When we got into the cafeteria, I dance towards the food stand and everyone made way. I don’t know why I never have to wait in line, but if it means getting food faster, I don’t care.
Grabbing the tray, I put on a warm beef burger, fries, chips, and some fruits on the side. Glancing beside me, Nick and Joey's food tray was three times higher than mine. I realize that werewolves eat a lot, everyone would always pile food on their plates.
When we finish, we walk towards what I hear other students refer to as Alpha’s Table seeing Kim and Tyler already eating their lunch.
I take a seat between Kim and Nick, then reach for my burger, filling it with mayonnaise and ketchup. Releasing a low moan of satisfaction when I bit it. I love food!
“So, I was thinking we can go to the library today to research more about werecats,” Kim said.
“Or we can just Hoogle it,” Tyler suggests.
Kim pinches his arm causing him to yelp like a little girl. “We tried that remember? All the information that pops up is bullshit.”
“I agree, let’s go to the library today,” Nick said taking a bite out of his third hotdog.
‘I know exactly where that is going,’ Daisy purrs.
“Should we contact Alpha Nathaniel for some of his books? He does have one of the largest libraries filled with information,” Joey suggests.
“I think we should since he did agree in protecting Lillian,” Kim add-on.
Nick nods, “Yes, contact him and see if we can get authorization in borrowing a few of his books.”
Tyler swallows his second burger and lifts a finger. “One problem.”
“What?” Kim asks, face looking slightly disgusted.
“I heard Alpha Nathaniel hasn’t been replying to messages from other Alphas. Rumors say that there is a problem in his pack.”
Nick's face scrunched up. “What problem?”
“Wait, you are an Alpha and you don’t know what’s going on?” Kim question.
“Look, I’ve been kind of ahem occupied,” Nick mumble, peeking at me.
“Yeah, we all know what’s roaming inside your mind,” Kim grumbles, resting an arm against the table. “Anyways, continue.”
“It seems like his Luna is creating a lot of trouble in his pack. She would go around slamming his pack member into walls, breaking stuff, or sneaking out late at night to go clubbing,” Tyler responds.
“How the f**k do you know all of this?” Nick scoffs.
“Well, one of my friends from Full Moon asks me to hit this club with him not too long ago. When we went there, I saw his Luna standing on the Bar singing Hot in Here while drinking. Soon after, Alpha Nathaniel appears and punched a hole through the wall,” he explains.
“Are you serious?” Kim asks.
“Yeah, I ran out there without my pants,” Tyler mutters. “It was my favorite too.”
We all lift a brow and stare at him.
“What?” Joey question.
“Well you see, you find this pant that fit so perfectly around your che-”
“No, not that!” He grunts.
“Oh, right. Luna Aria was singing So, take off all your clothes and everyone was taking their clothes off so I don’t want to look like a prick,” Tyler explains.
Nick started chuckling. “Oh yeah, I remember you walking home without pants, late at night.”
Tyler glares at him. “Yes and thank you for opening the front door.”
Nick growls at him in return. “Watch it, I’m still your Alpha.”
After some time of silence, Tyler rolls his eyes mockingly and bow in obedience.
When we finish eating, we walk to class. Nick gave me a kiss goodbye and I went towards my desk beside Tyler. After some time, I realize that in every class, I have it with Kim, Tyler, Joey, or Nick.
The grip on my pencil tightens as I attempt to understand Oscillation and Waves in Physics.
“Oscillation refers to any Periodic Motion moving at a distance about the equilibrium position and repeat itself over and over for a period of time. An example would be the Oscillation up and down and side by side of a Spring. There is also the Oscillation swinging side by side of a pendulum,” the teacher lecture.
“Oscillations are generally caused by an abrupt change in the stage-storage or stage-discharge curve. If these changes are too abrupt, the routing procedure can not track the curve properly, causing an overshoot in the calculated outflow, which can oscillate back-and-forth around the correct value,” he continues.
Peeking over, Tyler has the same face as me. I can see the words traveling in one ear and out the other. Looking around, students were staring at him as if he was talking a different language.
‘With what he is saying, he might as well,’ Daisy said.
‘I don’t understand a single thing.’
‘Don’t you have a test tomorrow?’
‘Daisy what is the right word to use for this moment?’
‘Oh fuck.’
‘Sounds right, oh fuck.’
After being slap in the face with Physics and Calculus, I stand in the hallway, hiding my head in the locker as Nick rubs my back. “It’s okay not to understand Lulu. No one uses Physics or Math in real life anyways,” he attempts to comfort me.
Poking my head out of the window, mascara was smearing down my face from crying earlier. “But I didn’t understand a single thing Nick,” I cry out shoving my head back into the locker.
“Ah, Lillian crying about Physics and Biology again?” Kim said.
“I don’t like it,” I whine, stomping my foot.
Nick pull me out from my locker and I could see him past my dislevel monstrous hair. “Look, Lulu, I’ll tutor you,” he grins.
“Oh please, and who will tutor you?” Kim said causing Tyler and Joey to burst out laughing.
I can sense him shooting everyone a glare. I understand why Kim will say that Nick sucks at school. He probably wouldn’t pass if he wasn’t the Alpha of Red Rose.
“I’ll tutor you, Lillian,” Joey offers.
I stuck my face out. “Really?“I squeak out, feeling a bit better.
Out of everyone here, Joey is considered the smartest at school. He gave me a smile and shrugs. “Yeah.” I can hear a low growl behind me and two arms wrap around my waist. Joey rolls his eyes. “Why don’t I tutor you too, Nick?” He states blandly.
“We don’t n-”
“You know, I can teach you two as much as you guys want but in the end, the two of you need to get together and study together," he winks.
I can hear an: ”Ahhhh" behind me and Joey starts nodding.
Kim fold her arms, “You two are sick.”
“What? All I’m saying is that Nick needs to teach Lillian about human anatomy, privately," he snickers out and Tyler starts chuckling along with Nick.
It sounds kind of creepy.
“The three of you never grow up,” she shakes her head and starts walking towards the library. Closing my locker, Nick swings his arm around me and I tangle my fingers with his hanging hand.
Reaching inside, we sat down at a table while everyone starts searching for books that have anything to do with werecats. The two librarians inside also help us. After some time, we found two books.
“That’s all? In this f*****g massive library?” Tyler shouts.
“Yes, Tyler. There aren’t many books about werecats and I need you to lower your voice,” one of the librarians said.
“Yes, not just here, most of the books regarding werecats had been missing for years,” the other said.
“Why?” I ask.
“We aren’t sure but after Acqua Rossa Spessa when the Queen of WereCats passed, someone set their kingdom on fire destroying nearly all information regarding werecats. These books are written after the war,” they respond.
“Okay, you two can go now,” Nick said and they bow down walking away.
Kim grabs one book and Tyler takes the other. Nick pulls out a seat and sat down, patting his lap, grinning. I sat on his lap, wrapping my arms around his neck, waiting. Joey takes a seat next to Kim, releases a yawn and laid his head down to take a nap. Silently, we wait until they finish reading the book.
“Woah now this is a sad story,” Kim said breaking the silence causing Joey and me to wake up. Glancing at Nick, he had his head lay back, mouth wide open and his tongue was sticking out.
“Nick wake up,” I whisper, poking his chest.
"Hmm, not there Lulu,” he moans out with a smile and my eyes widen when I feel something poking my bottom.
Kim slams the book on the table causing Nick to jolt. He wipes the drool from the side of his mouth. “W-What going on?” He yawns out, stretching out his arms.
“Well while you were having wet dreams, we were doing some research,” Kim said.
“What is it?” Nick responds, ignoring her irritated tone as he lay his forehead on my shoulder.
Kim roll her eyes and cupped her hands together. “So, according to werecats legends. The first-ever werecat named Bastet, descend from Heaven, highly praised. Throughout history, she would aid the Egyptian King causing havoc with her powers and beauty. There were rumors there were lovers, but never confirmed,” she pauses for dramatic effect. “No one knows what happen, but a curse was lay on her.”
“What curse?” Tyler ask.
The three guys pretend not to care but I can see the curiosity in their eyes, wanting to know what will happen next.
“It’s written here, that she would fall in love with her fated one, but they are destined to fight on opposite ends, one for good and the other for evil. One must die in order for the other to survive. That is her punishment, her curse.”
Tyler's eyes blast open as he leans in closer. “Oh s**t, who choose which side?”
She flips the page to see a bunch of torn out pages. “What the f**k? Are they going to leave us in suspension? The muther acorn fudge roll!” She slides the book across the table in anger but I quickly caught it.
‘Good for you Lillian,’ Daisy compliment me ‘If I could, I would pat your back.’
‘Oh, I can do it.’
I start patting myself on the back and everyone stares at me. “What?”
“Why are you patting your own back?” Joey ask.
“Because Daisy said she wish she can pat me on the back for catching the book so well, but she can’t so I’m doing it for her,” I explain and they all lift a brow.
Looking at Nick, he started patting my back. “Good job Lulu,” he said and I straighten my back, returning his smile.
“Anyways, what did you read Tyler?” Kim ask.
“I didn’t have much to read, it was mainly about the last Queen of WereCats, Queen Livianna.”
“What did it say?” Nick ask.
“Like I say not much, just the same with what we found online. But there was one thing that was interesting,” He flips a few pages and clears his throat:
“Throughout time, she had been waiting, waiting for him. I remember seeing the way they look at one another, the first time they met, fireworks burst.
Unfortunately, he did not believe her, why she did what she did. That disbelief was what broke her fragile heart. When he found out the truth, it was too late, much too late as she lay six feet underground.
I would see him, tears dripping down his chin as he circles two rings in his hands mumbling a single line: “My little kitty, I’m sorry I wasn’t able to protect you.”
One day, I believe, that the rings will bring them together once again. Regrettably, I had lost one, but I still kept the other.
If you are reading this, you know who I am. I have what’s yours, please come back and claim it.”
“What the f**k does that mean?” Joey ask.
Everyone glance at each other and shrug.
‘That line.’
‘Yeah, I heard it too.’
“Who is the author of your book?” Kim ask.
He turns to the cover page. “Amaryllis Ciao, you?”
“Same,” she whispers.
Everyone glance at each other, face filling with confusion, not knowing what to do next.
On the ride back home, I laid my head on Nick’s chest, mind refusing to stop thinking about the ring inside my jewelry box. When we walk into the front door, I turn towards Nick. “I need to shower” I said quickly and rush upstairs.
“Use our bathroom,” he screams.
’That’s so smooth, stealth.′
I ignore Daisy's comment and continue rushing inside, opening the door, I walk towards the jewelry box, seeing the ring.
‘We need more information’.
‘Maybe we should contact her?’
‘We have no choice.’
‘But, Marvin said not to trust her.’
′Yes but he also said not to trust him. Marvin is a complex weird guy. Perhaps, we can negotiate.’
Walking towards the closet, I open the cabinets and grab the piece of paper I hid. Taking my phone, I dial the number, listening to it ringing.
“H-H-Hello?” I hold the phone with both hands.
“Shut the f**k up Nathan and stop following me, you stalker!” I heard a female voice over the phone shrieking and a door slam shut.
My body freeze, heart, beating incredibly loud.
‘What the f**k was that?’
‘I’m scared Daisy.’
‘Keep calm, be cool, don’t let her know she has the upper hand.’
“That clingy ass Alpha,” she growls.
After some time, I hear her exhale. “Who the f**k are you and what do you want?”
