• Kin •
The sun had not yet shown its warmth, the dew on the grass was still fresh. I walked closer to the house which was right in front of the hill, the fresh air in the mountains which is I was used to feeling, but today I feel extraordinary happiness. How can I not be happy, now I have met my fated mate and he also accepts me.
Last night Krit said that he wanted to eat fish, but because here is a mountainous area, fish are rarely found in the market so I decided to go into the forest and look for fish in the river.
When I left, Krit wasn't awake yet, I thought Krit was very tired so I didn't say goodbye before leaving. I never thought that when this foot stepped to open the door, someone with a worried face had opened the door first. Krit is wearing his glasses, and his navy blue pajamas make him look very cute. Krit greeted me with a punch on my chest,
"Where have you been? Why didn't you say anything to me before leaving?", said Krit. I smiled and showed the fish that I caught.
"I caught fish in the river. You said you wanted to eat fish last night," I replied while shaking the fish I caught. I got four pretty big fish, I tied them with rope.
"Wow, the fish is so big, how do you get them?", Krit said excitedly.
"It's easy, next time let's catch fish together, I'll teach you how catch fish", i said while smiling teasingly to Krit. Krit looks at me sarcastically and walks into the house, I walk behind him.
"What do you want to cook with this fish?" I asked.
"How about we make sashimi?", said Krit, turning his face to me.
"Sashimi?", I asked, confused. Krit looked at me,
"You don't know sashimi?", Asked Krit.
"Hmm, I heard about sashimi before but i never see it by myself, I never try to eat sashimi before", I said.
"Sashimi is a Japanese delicacy, consisting of fresh raw fish or meat sliced into thin pieces and often eaten with soy sauce," Krit explained.
"Ouwh, then it's just eat the raw fish?" I said.
"Yes, I'll cut it first and prepare the sauce. I remember that yesterday there was soy sauce in the kitchen," said Krit as he walked toward the kitchen.
I saw Krit who looked really excited. Krit called me with a gesture of his hand, I stepped closer to him.
"What's wrong?", I asked.
"Hmm, is the river clean?" Asked Krit. I saw his eyes that were wondering, I smiled and answered slowly,
"Clean, very very clean". Krit smiled and asked me to clean the fish.
Even though I'm not used to cooking and working in the kitchen but I'm quite used to cleaning fish, I enjoy my free time by hunting and fishing. I will clean my own catch by myself and cook modestly by roasting my catch directly in the forest. That's why I got used to holding a knife, just to clean the fish is easy work.
I cleaned the fish, Krit asked me to peel off the fish skin too. After that Krit took over the task, Krit cut one fish into small pieces without any bones in the fish meat.
After making the sashimi, Krit told me to give the two remaining fish to Mr. Johan and asked me to convey a message that starting today, Krit will start teaching. School has been off for too long because two of the teachers have disappeared, namely Krit and Kin.
In school there are actually four teachers. The first is Mr. Liam, an old teacher who cannot teach often. Mr. Liam only teaching when there were no other teachers teaching, unfortunately when Krit was come here and until now Mr. Liam was still hospitalized in the city.
The second teacher is me, I became a teacher since last year after I finished my college. Previously I studied in the city about 4 hours away by car, but for me as a werewolf, it takes 4 hours by car but for me by running there from the forest side in 1 hour if I run casually.
The third teacher is Krit, who just came a few days ago and is now in front of me.
Meanwhile the fourth teacher is Mr. Johan's daughter who is still in college in the city is named Ruri, Ruri will teach at the school when he returns for his college vacation. Currently Ruri is not in the village so no one teaches at school. I've told Mr. Johan to close the school for a week so there is no problem.
"Krit, today school is still off, we can start teaching tomorrow," I said.
"Aah, then I'll meet the village head and the doctor here first today. It's should have been a day after I arrived I had to see the village head and the doctor," said KKrit
"Very well, I'll take you to meet the village chief first." I answered while taking the fish that will be given to Mr. Johan.
"I'll take the fish to Mr. Johan first, take a shower first after that we can eat together".
"Okay", said Krit as he closed the sashimi he had just made.
I walked out of the house, I looked around the house and I felt all safe. I walked on the village road, the village people who saw me immediately greeted me and I will greet them back.
Village people have started their activities since the morning so that the streets in the village are full of people passing by, people walking on foot, some carrying their farming tools, some bringing plant seeds, some pulling their livestock and some selling things.
I arrived at a house with a low bamboo fence covered with vines, the house looked quite big compared to the surrounding houses but it was the same as the surrounding houses which were made of bamboo and wood except that the house was wider and had second floors.
I saw the figure of a middle-aged woman who was busy with green vegetables, the woman was sitting on a wide bamboo chair. I immediately greeted him,
"Auntie, good morning.", I said kindly. The middle-aged woman looked at me and immediately replied to my greeting,
"Young master Kin, what are you doing here early in the morning?", Said Mrs. Johan, who immediately got up from her seat. I raised the fish and smiled,
"I just caught fish in the river", I said and I handed the fish to the middle-aged woman with a smile. Mrs. Johan immediately received the fish,
"Thank you, young master. Have you had breakfast, young master. Let's come in and have breakfast together.", Said Mrs. Johan invited me to enter.
"Sorry, Auntie. Maybe next time, I'm in hurry now", I said while shaking my head. Mrs. Johan looked at me and nodded.
"Ah auntie, please tell uncle that Krit and I will start teaching tomorrow. Krit will also meet with the village head later." I said.
Mrs. Johan nodded, "I'll tell him, young master Kin."
I smiled, "Then thank you Auntie, I'll go first".
I lowered my head in salute and turned around after seeing Mrs Johan nodded her head.

I returned home, I opened the door and heard the voice of Krit who was still bathing. I wanted to go into the bathroom but I remembered how tired Krit and I were who definitely couldn't hold back so I decided to wait for Krit to finish taking a shower while looking at the outside of the house from the balcony. I sensed several alpha werewolves trying to get close to the house but only stopping so far from the house that it was very unlikely that I would notice them if I wasn't focused.
When I was focused on combing the area near the house including the school, the sound of the bathroom door opening startled me, I immediately looked towards the source of the sound.
"Hey Kin, you are back already, Bathing ??", asked Krit.
Krit's hair was still wet, water droplets poured down his face and neck. His slender legs looked very seductive. Krit only wears a towel that covers lower part of his body, even though I have seen Krit's body, it still makes me lose control every time I see his body. I tried hard to control myself without realizing I saw Krit's body from head to toe until Krit realized it.
"Hish, take a shower," said Krit irritably and immediately walked into the room.
I laughed seeing Krit because his ears looked red, I walked closer to the room but from inside Krit's room screamed annoyed.
"Don't come in, take a shower bastard".
I turned around and went to take a shower before Krit was really annoyed and angry with me.
_
Krit and I will come out of the house to meet the village head until the sound of knocking on the door is heard, Krit and I walked towards the door. I opened the door and saw a familiar figure, a tall figure with a handsome face that looked just like me but looked more mature and more serious. Those brown beige eyes stared at me sharply which a second later stared at Krit who was beside me, I immediately held Krit's hand.
"Brother Tor", I called the name of the person in front of me who was none other than my eldest brother. Brother Tor looked at me,
"Why don't you come home and not give me any news?" Asked Brothee Tor quietly.
"I ... I ..." I felt confused to explain it first, I had not finished thinking.
Krit pulled my arm and asked, "Who?".
I immediately introduced the two because I saw how Krit looked confused and curious and my brother looked confused and seemed to want to ask for an explanation.
"Krit, this is my eldest brother, Brother Tor. Brother Tor, introduce this is Krit, the new teacher at school and also ... I'm sure you know already", I introduced the two.
I saw Brother Tor looking at Krit sharply. I'm sure Brother Tor already knows that Krit is my partner because of my pheromones that surround Krit's body as well as his house and surroundings which are full of my pheromones.
Brother Tor must be looking for me because I don't usually didn't go home for days without news. For example if I don't even come home, usually I was hunt with some bodyguards but this time I really disappeared without news. I also purposely didn't show myself when I entered the forest.
"Huh, so do you want to explain about the reports of the number of werewolves being killed and missing?" Asked Brother Tor while looking at me sharply, I was a little shocked.
I did injure several werewolves who wanted to approach Krit's house and the day I met Krit, I did accidentally kill several werewolves because of my uncontrollable condition. But I didn't kill again after that day and how there were werewolves missing I also don't know, the werewolves that approached Krit's house I made sure they were not from my pack, werewolves from my pack who usually come is will try to get close but no one dared to approach after I blocked the by my pheromones.
Krit grabbed my arm which made me shocked and immediately saw Krit.
"Explain !!", said Krit in a very serious voice. Krit told my brother to come in and pulled me into the house.
Brother Tor came in and sat on the chair very calmly, Brother Tor looked around as if he was researching around.
"Your pheromones are getting stronger Kin, now even for me I'm like being restrained. If I'm not an alpha dominant, I will definitely be helpless, even if I take out my pheromones to fight your pheromones, I still can't get rid of your pheromones," said Brother Tor suddenly.
I was surprised because I knew how strong Brother Tor's pheromone is, his pheromones can be against some other alpha dominant pheromones.
Krit sat beside me and served a drink for Brotht Tor.
"Brother, why did Brother Tor come looking for me yourself? You can ask Brother Ben to look for me." I said confused, usually when my brother or father was looking for me Brother Ben who was the head of the bodyguard would look for me.
Brother Ben is the head of Bodyguard who has worked with my family since he was a child and his father is our father's right hand too. He was with me since i was still small and he was like my own brother because Ben was always my bodyguard.
"Ben at school now, he can't get close because of your pheromones that surrounds this house. I'm the only one who can get close," said Brother Tor.
Brother Tor and Brother Ben are friends since childhood, not many people know the fact that the two of them have been in a romantic relationship since their teens until now. Brother Ben is Brother Tor's confidant and partner, but the two of them really don't look like a couple when they are working or when they are in front of many people. Brother Ben is an male Alpha so the relationship between the two is taboo.
Although many have encouraged my brother to get married because he is 30 years old but my brother always says that he hasn't found the right person and wants to focus on the company. I who thought of other things was shocked when Krit kicked my leg,
"What?", I said with a jolt.
"Explain", said Krit irritably.
"Kin, what have you been doing during this week not coming home? Is it true that you killed the werewolves?" Asked Brother Tor.
I explained what happened, "Brother, when I first met Krit I'm out of control and killed several werewolves who were trying to approach this house, but after I realized I checked their bodies and buried them in the back hill. The werewolf who are getting killed not comes from our pack. After that, when there are some werewolves approaching here I only attack them using my pheromone and if someone is still approaching here closer I only injure them but not to kill them, I also always avoid werewolves who want to duel with me directly ", hear my explanation Brother Tor furrowed his brows.
"If you never killed a werewolf from our pack then what really happened? Since the last few days I have received reports of missing members of our pack and some of them were found dead in the forest. When you did not come home everyone was suspicious of you because those who were lost and died were those who should be tasked with looking for you. I managed to find you here too because Ben who was directly looking for you and accidentally met Mr. Johan at the village border. When Ben came here he was shocked because of your strong pheromone so he couldn't get close so Ben called me." Brother Tor said.
I'm so confused, in my pack no one knows my pheromones apart from my father, brothers and brother Ben so it will be difficult to find me using a pheromone. But if the werewolves who disappeared and died were bodyguards who used to be with me they should have looked for me in the places I used to go to including school but as long as I was here I didn't feel their presence at all.
"Brother Tor, are those who are looking for me are the bodyguards that used to be with me? where were they founded dead?" I asked.
Brother Tor look a little pale, as if he feel something isn't right. Brother Tor looked at me,
"Yes they are your bodyguards, they were found in the river near the valley and some were found in the hut in the forest where you used to hunt".
Seeing my brother who was getting pale, I became thinking back to the situation these days when I went out shopping. I saw some werewolves that weren't from my herd walking in the village at the foot of the mountain that I had never seen before. But at that moment I thought they were just passing by. I also remember that the werewolves who had approached Krit's house from the first day were mostly not from my pack even though this house was in my pack area.
My pack has a large area and there are guard posts that will report if any other werewolf pack members enter our area. If they are allowed in, it means that they are guests or they must be just traveling.
Our pack is friendly enough and allows other werewolves to stop by or enter the pack if they are werewolves that were born between humans and werewolves so they don't have a pack.
Krit, who had only been listening to our conversation, finally opened his mouth and revealed his thoughts that were not much different from what I thought,
"Wasn't that when Kin and I first met and Kin said before that when a werewolf approaching this house is wasn't from your pack? Is it a natural thing if there are other werewolf packs roaming freely here? There is a high chance that the one who killed the bodyguard was a werewolf outside your pack, right?".
Hearing Krit's words, Brother looked at me and I nodded my head indicating that I agreed with Krit's words. Brother immediately got up from his seat and said to me,
"We're going back home, it's not safe here. We have to immediately discuss this with father." My brother looked at me and immediately turned his gaze to Krit for a moment I looked at him as if I hinted that if I came back I had to bring Krit too.
"You too," said my brother to Krit. Krit looks confused and looks at me.
"Krit, I have to go home. It's not safe here for you either so come with me." I said softly with full of concern.
"But .." said Krit which I immediately blocked.
I said "You have to come back with me, what if you are here alone and a werewolf comes? Leaving you alone is impossible for me."
I said convincingly and begged. Krit finally agreed to my invitation,
"Okay, I have to get ready first, right?".
