Theodore 'Theo' Rasmus

I DON'T know what to do with this man. We are still on the hidden corner of the alley. The guy looks in pain with his grunts.

My plan for this whole day is to find a job and help Mariah and her sister with our finance. But I just saw myself in trouble with a stranger guy. He looks badly beaten with those visible purple bruises on his handsome face.

Yes, I saved him from those evil goons, but now what? I do not know where to go. I cannot go with him to our apartment; people might notice us, and gossips were everywhere. Mariah and Alicia might think bad about it, and I don't want them to be disappointed, especially if they found out about the trouble.

So I decided to carry him, at least a piggyback ride. Because even though he looks a bit too heavy, I can still manage. Maybe because of my werewolf gene is now kicking.

"You can send me to my apartment..." he whispered right to my ear. His hot breath felt a bit weird on my neck.

"Where is your apartment?" I asked him. He just said the exact address. "It is just a few blocks from our apartment."

Exactly 5 in the afternoon. It is still too hot even though the dawn is near. It is a big adjustment for someone like me, who almost lives my entire life with the forest at my side. Well, I do still miss the Zidian forest, but this is my new life here.

I reached the said apartment. I can feel the stranger guy fishing his key in his pocket. He opens the door, and we go inside the living room. It is a bit spacious than our apartment. The place is a bit messy; some people say that other men are naturally unhygienic, so maybe that is why this place looks like a mess.

I put him on the nearby couch. I massage my neck because it numbs a little. He is heavy, and thankfully I still manage to carry him from that alley.

"Are you okay now?" I asked him. He sought after looking away from my direction. He seems in trouble with his deep thoughts.

"My body aches; I might skip my work for tomorrow," he said.

I was a bit curious with he has said. Does he have a job? How? He looks young.

"You are employed? Are not you studying?"

"Studying is too expensive. I don't have parents anymore that can support my schooling. Both of them have their own life with their new family. I am out of their picture." He looks sad.

"We are the same; in my case, my parents are already dead."

He smiled at me. "We are talking now without knowing each other. I want to know my hero's name. You save me from those fuckers. I am Kyle, by the way."

I nodded. "I am Theo. I am passing that street when I saw you; those guys cornered you."

He smiled, shaking his head. "Yeah, no offense meant, but I can not imagine you winning those fucker. You have a small frame, but you can deal with them." I conclude he did not saw my werewolf transformation at that time. He might probably be unconscious that time.

I think about a better excuse. "I look weak, but I know some self-defense."

He nodded; he looks satisfied with my answer. "I see; I want to say thank you for saving my life. I owe you with that. By the way, can you stay for dinner here? I want to thank you, at least."

"Okay, but can you cook? You look badly injured. Do you have pack doctor's here?" I asked, then I realized my fault. I should stop using our clan gerunds.

"Pack doctor?"

"I mean a doctor. Like ahh, clinic!"

He nodded. "No, I don't want to go there. I have a terrible experience going there."

"Do you have a first aid kit here? At least we can clean your wounds."

He nodded while smiling. He is looking at my face; what is wrong with him.

"What age are you? You look young."

I answered him. "I am already eighteen."

He grins. "You look 15 with your face."

I know that it is because of me being an omega. A werewolf can Alpha, Beta, or Omega. Alpha is the most blessed type in our class. They are born with talents, intense physical traits, dominating voice, and the gift of the God of the Sun. Beta's can categorize as an average to a bit strong type of our class. And the omega is merely the lowest of our kind.

And, of course, an omega with white fur. The curse kind, the misfortune, and the abandoned child of Luna.

I snap from reality as he spoke. "Hey, you okay, Theo? You are suddenly spacing out. I am telling you where the first aid kit."

I blushed. I should stop doing this as a habit. "I am so sorry. I just lost in my thoughts. Where is your first aid kit again?"

"On the bathroom."

I nodded; it was not hard to look for the bathroom. I saw the clear pouch with a different first aid kit there. I walk back to the living room. I saw Kyle struggling to undress his shirt. I rush to help him, and he silently thanked me.

"Can you tell me why those men were trying to kill you? He looks trying to punch you to death."

He chuckled... I observe his physics. He is handsome with his tan skin, perfectly shaped lips; his body is well-toned. However, those kinds of bodies were just a usual thing that I see on our pack.

"I was on a bar last week. I bang some random girl. I never know that she already had a boyfriend. That is the reason why I was in trouble that time you see me."

I shake my head while smiling. "I see; you should stop making it a habit."

He smiled. "Cannot stop doing that. I am horny, always horny."

I look at him in disgust and accidentally put pressure on the cotton balls that I am using to treat his wound on his face.

"AWW. Are you trying to kill me?" he asked, a bit overdramatic.

I chuckled. "I was not trying to kill you."

He just smiled. I finish cleaning all of his wounds. Someone knocks on the door. Kyle summoned me there while giving me money.

"That is the delivery guy. Take this money, and we will eat afterward," he said while grinning.

I walked to the door and opened it. The delivery guy gave me a big plastic with Tupperware on it. I handle the money, and he gave me the change.

I put the plastic bag on the table. I prepared the Tupperware, and I can say that Kyle ordered too much food for us.

"Can we finish this?" I asked him.

"Maybe yes, but if not, you can have some and bring it at home."

He looks like having a high-earning job. I envy him, and I wish I can find a job sooner.

I open one of the containers, and there are chicken wings on it. Chicken is a bit hard to find on my old pack since it is something that needed to grow and harvest, not like other types of meat that we can be hunted in the forest.

I tried biting one of the pieces. It has a kind of red sauce on it, and as I chew the tender meat, I suddenly tasted the other surge of flavors. It is sweet and salty with aroma and spices on it! The last time I tasted this good was when my parents were still alive.

I stop munching my food when I heard chuckling while watching me eat. "Ah, Kyle? What's wrong?"

He laughed while taking a piece of tissue and started wiping my face. "You are a messy eater."

I can feel my face turning red. I have never been this close on any men. In Zidian, I was forbidden to go any near with guys there. Homosexuality was a hideous act on our pack. Tyrone hates gays.

"I am sorry." I silently whispered to Kyle.

He shakes his head. "It is no problem for me. Just enjoy your food. This simple treat is just a simple thank you for saving my life.

We enjoyed the food, and I found myself enjoying his accompany. He is different from the people of my pack. He is kind, and he knows that I am gay, and he does no problem with that. He has no issue with my sexuality. So we are cool with it. We watch a movie, by the time that I saw myself enjoying Kyle's presence... It is already late at night again.

"Oh, Kyle! I have to go! Alicia and Mariah might wait for me. I am dead again."

He laughed uncontrollably. "Your friends indeed have a weird taste of name."

I smiled; I didn't get him. What is weird with the name Mariah and Alicia?

When I got home, I saw Mariah walking back and forth with her arms across. She looks worried, and I know it is because of me again.

I walk inside the living room, and as she saw me, I knew that she is worried. She rushes, walking in my direction, and enveloped me with her hug.

"I am so worried, Theo. Why are you late again? It is so dark outside, and even though you are not a human, you don't know how dangerous those corners of an alley!" she lecture. I am incredibly guilty. It is not my intention to make them worried, but again, I am just a burden.

"I am sorry."

"Stop saying you are sorry if you will commit the same mistake again," Alicia spoke with sharpness in her tone.

I turn silent with what she has said. I know that from the very start, she does not like me that much in her apartment. She just let me here because of her sister, Mariah.

That night, I did not eat my dinner even though I am a little starving again. I pretend to sleep that night, even though I can hear Mariah and Alicia arguing in the kitchen.

"You should not say that to him. He is just a young kid; at least let him enjoy his freedom." I know it is Mariah's voice.

"That is precisely what the problem here! You are spoiling him rotten. Mariah, start teaching that kid, no, that person to be helpful. I let him stay here because of our agreement that he won't be a burden here. I understand that it is not easy to find a job that fasts, but he should be considerate enough that someone is waiting for him!"

I am guilty and also a bit sensitive to what Alicia said. I know she is just brutally honest, and maybe life throws s**t as we live so long.

I FOUND myself in the morning alone. They are all already left. I usually do my routine. I clean the whole house, do the laundry, and tried my luck.

Even though it is scorching hot outside, I tried my luck, but it is again another day without finding a job and full of rejection.

I am walking on pavement, looking with the wanted signs of employment. I am not concentrating while walking, and because of that, I collided with someone.

"Kyle?!" I saw him in his uniform. "You look different."

He is grinning. "You look the same, Theo."

I just smiled at him. Maybe he is on his duty. He mentions he has a job. I forgot to ask him last night.

"You are in your job? What is your job again?"

He proudly smiled while playing his eyebrow up and down. "Well, you are just speaking to the Mayor's private driver."
