The Alpha's Secretaries

Chapter 1: It is me

Christian's POV

The moment that I stepped inside the door of my parents' house; I heard my mom talking with someone on the phone.

"Yeah, I will tell my son about it," she said in a low tone.

"What does she mean?" I asked while still observing my mom. From afar, my mom looked at me, smiling while waving her hands to me.

"He is here now!" her voice hissed. "I will surprise him about being an official Chairman." She dropped off the call.

I walked towards her direction. My face was a little puzzled and uttered, "What do you mean being an official Chairman?"

My mom got stunned when she heard it from me. "Did you hear it?" Still, the amazement of what I overheard was still lingering in her thoughts. She knew that I was too far away from her to even hear her whispers. How did that happen?

I immediately hugged his mom to divert her attention. "I missed you."

My mom massaged my back gently. "Oh, my Christian! You are so like your Dad." She furrowed her eyebrows and noticed my right arm. "What happened to this?"

I immediately pulled my arm as she saw it. "It is just a small scratch," I lied. But I knew where it came from.

All of a sudden, I know what had happened last night...

Those wolves were fighting until they caught me. And this was the reason why I got the bite mark on my right arm.

"Are you really okay?" Mom asked as I felt my knees shaking. I managed to sit on the couch and asked for a glass of water. "I feel just a little dizzy. Can I have a water, Mom?"

She went to the kitchen room where I can see that she is very alarmed. After that, she went on filling up the glass with water and came back to me. "Here."

I grabbed it but I sense a burning sensation in my hand so I throw it away. I look at it while the water spills on the floor. I noticed something. "Silver cup..."

Mom grabbed my hand, "You have been burnt!" then she looked at the maid beside us. I can hear her shout as I fell down. "Call the doctor now!"

And everything filled with darkness.

"Mom! Mom!" I shouted and I immediately opened my eyes and I felt my sweat is running down my temples.

I heard her steps while saying, "How do you feel?" and she walks beside me. "Are you fine now?"

I helped myself to sit on my bed. "I don't know what is happening to me, Mom." I don't know what to say or even what to feel at this moment.

She hugged me with her unfathomable comfort. "Everything will be well, my son," and I took a glance at the doctor who is beside me.

"Explain to us what is happening to Christian," Mom ordered her.

The doctor starts to walk and I can see to her face the astonishment that she felt. "This is the first time I have seen such a case my entire life as a doctor." She took the silver cup and moved towards my direction. "Touch it," she ordered me.

I don't know if I will trust her or not. But she is a family doctor and a friend of my mom. I did what she said. As I lift my hand and reached for the silver cup, the sensation of heat is beginning. So, I immediately swayed my hand back to my bed.

"I can't believe what I am seeing right now!" uttered by the doctor who is helping me.

Mom looks at her and asked, "What do you mean?" She looks around and Mom knew what she meant. "Okay, everyone you may go out," and all of my mom's maids just left my room.

The Doctor took a book from her bag and let my mom read it.

"Werewolf?"

The doctor shook her head. "Let me explain." She cleared her throat and we listened to her. "We saw a bite mark from Christian's arm," then she pointed to my arm that has a bandage. "He got burned when he held the silver cup earlier."

"Then?" Mom walks in the other direction. "Come on! You are a doctor and you are believing that tale?"

I am just listening to them while those thoughts of the doctor sink into my mind. "Why this thing happened to me?" I asked myself.

I saw how mom got worried about my situation. Dad is not around even my little sister, too. I don't know if what their reaction will be when they have the knowledge about what had happened. Is there will be an acceptance or will they choose to be away from me?

Mom suddenly hugged me and cried. "If I only knew from the start that this thing will happen, I should not have allowed you to have your adventure trip."

"It is not you to be blamed, mom," I said as I massaged her back. I feel her grave loneliness from those words that she uttered. "Everything will be fine." And I let her see my smile that somehow gives relief to her.

"What we need to do is to have a concrete plan," my mom's doctor stated.

Mom shed her tears and whispered, "What is the best thing to do?"

From that moment there was a maid who got inside while having those plugs on her ear. She immediately moved the curtains and I saw how the great moon is in its full.

I feel that there was a release of stress from my entire being.  And my wisdom tooth, it was a weird feeling that it is like there is coming out on that area. Those pain grew then my muscles, tendons, bones, and nerves are shifting into their new forms.

I can't bear the pain anymore!

"Christian, what is happening?!" Mom started to panic. She shouted, "We need some help!"

Suddenly the doctor grabs her arm. "Let it happen."

I cried for help. "Mom! Mom!" But they just watched me. My sight became clear as it is until I saw that I am bigger than my size anymore. The pain is somehow running away on its own. I lend my sight to the big mirror that was beside me.

I saw how huge the fangs that came out of my mouth, and I can hear those steps and other little sounds.

"A beast!" shouted, the maid who pulled the curtains.

I saw the beast in the mirror. I held my face and saw that beast was holding his face, too. I concluded that the beast in that mirror is me.

"A werewolf!" shouted, the doctor while smiling.

I screamed, "No!"

I thought accepting it is easy but the mere fact that seeing this face and form is not a good thing.

I broke the window and ran outside the house as fast as I could. I can imagine that I have this kind of strength and speed. Moments have passed and I am already on the top of the hill. Howling and magnifying the beauty of thy full moon. Sitting in the high place of where I am. Thinking that my luxurious life will start to change.

Is this a curse, that can someone heal? Or it will last forever?

I can see the details of the car moving miles apart from me. Even the bats and birds that are in the air. The fragrance that I can smell is so strong.

One thing that I am sure of is that I am not an ordinary person or should I say, I am a werewolf.
