Chapter 14: Homecoming

The week went along without an incident, and the big day soon came and with big fanfare. Tailgate parties were being set up in the neighborhood park. Toby and Sasha ran by the tailgate party and the party goers howled and cheered at them. Sasha snickered at the attention they were getting, but Toby paid no mind to it.

Once they got home, Sasha’s mother beamed with delight and satisfaction. “You best not get hurt during the game! Ya, hear? Sasha’s been looking forward to this all week” she spoke in a semi-serious and joking tone.

“Meh, I’ll be fine” he said casually.

Her mother smiled. “You better clean up good too!” she teased.

He laughed. “Okay, okay!” he said before Sasha touched him on the shoulder as she left him to go upstairs. He backed up towards the door and waved at her mother. “I’m going to pack up my stuff also” he said before he rushed out the door.

Her mother looked followed him out at him grinning. “You better keep that tongue in your mouth until after the dance mister” she teased him. He stared at her mortified. He looked around worried that Eric were nearby to hear this. His truck was not there, and her mother snickered. “See you wolf boy”

He blushed as he quickly as he rushed into his house and up the stairs. “I already packed what you need” His mother called out to him.

He walked back down the steps slowly looking over the banister as she pointed to a duffle bag on the couch. “I’ve talked to Sasha’s mom, and she’s letting me take you two to the school” she said as he reached the bottom of the steps.

She came over to him and touched his shoulder. “Now if Sasha tells you that you’re changing…listen to her. Okay?” she lectured him. He rolled his eyes and nodded slowly before she rubbed his shoulder. “Don’t tense up either! Just relax, pup!” she said before she went into the kitchen.

“I’ve got everything worked out” she said as she placed a big rare cooked steak on the table. She sat down with her tablet as she began pecking away at the screen. “I’ve already told Sasha what to do if you have a little slip up. Though I heard Zoe’s going to be there also” she said.

He raised an eyebrow as he sat down in his chair. “What? Why?” he asked.

She shrugged. “Well, Bernie’s been acting weird lately, and he told her to go to the dance just in case that Olivia girl does something stupid. You know how psychopaths are” she said as he slowly munched away at his steak.

“Eeee, heeeh, eeeheeen, heeeesh worhee ahout?” He muttered with food in his mouth.

His mother scowled at him. “Where’s your manners!?” she scolded him. She looked into her tablet and sighed heavily. “Just don’t worry about it for now…This is your time to be a normal teen wolf. Don’t be meddling in things that aren’t in your control” she said plainly.

He scowled at her before he managed to say, “I thought I’m supposed to act like an alpha?”

She flinched and raised an eye brow. “Who told you this? You aren’t the alpha”

“But I had the majority of votes” He mumbled.

“You were six! You are still too young to be an alpha anyway! And I don’t care you have a 9.8 on your PEAS rating you are still 17. If you were an alpha you wouldn’t have ran out there alone and got a hole in your chest now wouldn’t you!?” she scolded him.

Sasha walked into the house with her backpack, and she looked at him worried. “What’s wrong?” she asked.

His mother sighed. “It’s nothing” she said before she recoiled. “Oh, Um, are you hungry Sasha? I’ve got more steak” she said.

Sasha looked at the red meat on his plate, and she gulped. “Um…is it a little less alive?” she asked.

His mother snickered. “Of course” she said as she got up and retrieved a plate of medium cooked steak. She sat back down at the table setting the plate in front of Sasha. “Now, remember to not get him worked up at the dance. I’ll be a text away if you need me” she said.

Sasha nodded as she dug into her steak. Toby looked at the clock on the microwave, and he sighed heavily. “Well, there’s an hour and a half before the game…” he said before he looked towards Sasha. “What do you want to do?” he asked.

She looked up at him and smiled. “Well…I was thinking about trying a few things out” she said.

His mother’s eyes widened and gulped. “Oh…um…just be safe” she said.

Sasha blushed. “Uh…I!” she said quickly before she looked towards him worried.

He looked back at her confused before his eyes widened. “Um…Did I miss something?” he asked looking between them.

Sasha gulped. “Um…I don’t know what to say” she said as her head hung low in embarrassment.

His mother sighed heavily. “Just don’t blast the music” she said as she got up and walked over to grab a pair of headphones.

“Oh! Oh…” Toby muttered finally grasping at what was going on. He had been far too focused on his meal that he missed Sasha’s hinting at intimacy.

Sasha blushed as she stuffed her hands into her lap. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to…” she said before Toby laughed nervously.

“Oh, no, it’s fine…I was…” he said before he lowered his head. “I was thinking about trying a few things too” he said before he reached over to caress her hip.

She bit her lip and her heart raced. “I don’t think I can…I’m still sore” she said.

He chuckled. “I’m open to anything you’re willing to try…” he said before he blushed.

She looked over at his mother outside starting up the lawnmower, and she took his hand to bring him up into his room. She shut the door and looked up at him with a bright red face before she reached out to his chest. “Toby…” she muttered timidly. She smiled warmly as she wrapped her arms around him to pull him in for a smooch.

“I don’t know what to do…” she muttered into their lip lock.

They eventually wondered over to his bed where they fell back, and Sasha straddled him dipping her hand up under his shirt scratching at his chest. He murred happily while he slowly rubbed her hips and buttocks. She moaned softly as he gave her a gentle squeeze. Their lips parted and she shimmied down to kiss his neck down his body before she stopped at his belly button. He slowly transformed into his anthro form.

He gulped as she reached to unbutton his pants, and she instantly looked up at him with wide eyes. He gave her a receptive gaze, and she bravely went back to exploring him. “Toby…is this your…” she murmured as she pulled down his boxers. She stared and turned bright red. “Oh my lord!” she muttered before she looked up at him timidly.

He looked down at her and blushed. “You should wait until I have taken a shower. I know it stinks down there” he said.

She laughed at him. “No, it’s just that…I was wondering why I was so sore” she said as she continued to explore his body part bashfully.

He gulped and averted her gaze embarrassed with his werewolf anatomy. “If it bothers you, I can turn back into a human”

“No-no, it’s fine…I just never saw a werewolf boner before. I wasn’t expecting it to look weird like that”

“Uh, haven’t you seen it before?”

“I didn’t have my contacts in…and it was dark…and…I thought I was imagining you getting thicker…” She explained before she stopped seeing how uncomfortable he was. “Nevermind hun…I don’t mind, really I don’t” she said.

He pulled his hands back behind his head and watched her curiously. “Should I turn on some music?” he asked.

She smiled. “I’ll turn some on…just stay there big bad” she said before she got up and synched up her phone with his stereo. She looked back at him and blushed removing her shirt before she unclipped her bra as the music began to play. It was relaxing, slow tempo, and had a futuristic feel with the synthesizers and piano working harmoniously. “Can you give me a massage? My back and shoulders really hurt” she asked before she sat on the edge of his bed.

She smiled at him mischievously as he sat up quickly, and he gulped reaching up to her back. She let out a loud content sigh as he kneaded her back. “Your hands feel so strong and warm” she complimented him.

He gulped as she leaned back into his hands with a soft gentle moan. “You’re so good at this she told him before she took his hands down to her buxom and made him massage them “Go ahead…I like it when you hold them” she said under her breath hinting at her true intentions with this.

“I would like for you to let your wolf out a little bit. I came prepared this time” she said before she pulled out a bottle of KY jelly from her backpack. She squirted the bottle into her cleavage before she told him. “I wanted to try it this way” she said as she watched his jaw drop.

“I like where this is going” he said in a seductive tone. He smirked watching her do the forbidden technique smashing her breasts together and sliding the rest of him between them. He transformed farther into her therian form and relaxed back.

After the deed was done, Sasha was a bit embarrassed with the outcome with her actions. She had to say that seeing the sated hulking beast man sprawled out snoozing soundly was a very pleasing sight to her. She cuddled up with him in the bed, which the music kept playing in the background. She had nuzzled up into his shoulder and looked at his chest, while she aimlessly drew patterns in his fur with her finger over his body.

While she pampered him, she felt something dripped on hand, and she thought her was drooling. She looked at his muzzle and wondered if he had snorted. She laid back and looked up at the ceiling. Something dripped on her cheek, and she whipped it away…it was not drool. “How?” Sasha gasped in bewilderment.

There was a knock on the door before his mother came in. Sasha squeaked before she reached up to cover her breasts. His mother walked in and sniffed the air. She looked at the KY jelly on the night stand, and Sasha completely reeked of it. “You’re welcome to take a shower, Sasha” she spoke kindly.

Sasha got up and left the room still shielding herself meekly before his mother turned towards him. “Therian form? Really? I hope you clean the ceiling” she lectured him. She left the room briefly only to throw a Lysol container at him. “Now!” she spoke sternly. She shook her head at him doing her best to hide her amazement with this feat.

She wondered off humming to herself before he finally reverted to anthro form to quietly mop up every last trace before he looked to the wall half shocked with himself, but annoyed with the mess. He sat down still trying to comprehend what had happened. He got dressed and picked up Sasha’s cloths and bra.

He carried them over to the bathroom where she was already out of the shower singing to herself, “Return of the Pack!”  He snickered as she kept singing.

“That song in that hype video is pretty catchy isn’t it?” he asked.

His voice startled her, but she laughed to herself. “Um…can you get me my clothes?” she asked before she started gargling mouth wash hoping to hide the smell of her antics with him from Zoe and the other werewolves.

“I got ‘em” he responded. She opened the door and gratefully took them from him. She looked up at him and smiled. He smiled back at her before he left humming the same tune himself.

“Toby?” she called out. He stopped and looked back at her curiously as she poked her head out from the door. “Thanks for being cool about not going all the way today…You liked what I did though” she said.

He held his hand up. “Hey…it felt great, but maybe Therian form wasn’t such a good idea. It’s too messy” he said before he chuckled. “An hour isn’t enough time to do that sort of thing with me anyway. I doubt we’ll have that kind of alone time anytime soon either” he interrupted.

She nodded in agreement before she pulled her head back into the bathroom. “Yea, I liked the alternative though” she said. She let out a soft giggle. “I’m surprised your mom didn’t stop us and just picked the loudest chores possible” she said.

His mother came upstairs and turned the music off in her son’s room. “The game starts in half an hour!” she informed him.

His mother escorted Sasha to the garage, and he grabbed his duffle bag and met up with them. They rushed over to the school, but to their surprise, there were people walking a half a mile from the park to get to the school. Once they arrived, there were no parking spots available, which Toby gawked at the large number of people.

“Is this normal for Homecoming?” he muttered.

His mother giggled. “You don’t realize that you’ve gotten a following?” she asked as a group of people wearing shirts with a Lion logo.

He gulped. “These aren’t all West Linn fans are they?” he asked.

Sasha giggled at his reaction. “I think most of these people are here to see you play. This is the most I’ve seen so far” she said as she pointed to a berm crowded with an overflow of people. “It’s completely packed” she said.

His mother pulled up to the front, and she looked back at them. “You two have fun” she said as they got out with their bags.

“Bye!” Sasha shouted with a wave. She looked towards Toby and pulled him in for a smooch. “Tear ‘em apart big bad!” she said with a big grin.

He leaned his forehead into hers as she stroked his face. “I’ll meet up with you at the goal post on the north end zone” he told her firmly.

She sighed heavily. “I’ll be waiting for you…” she said before they parted ways.

•••

When the game started, the school held a big ceremony building the spectators’ anticipation before Toby took to the field. Wolfie the mascot threw punches at Toby’s chest plate as he got to the center of the field. The students howled and held up signs that said, “Welcome back Toby! #ReturnOfThePack!”, “Wolf’s Reign! #GunControl”, “I hear howling! #TualatinNatty”, “Back to work! #GermanPrecision”

A couple media drones flew over the field, and the band started playing their version of “School’s out for summer”. A little boy came out onto the field suited up like one of the players, but he appeared to be sickly. He was being accompanied by his parents wearing matching jerseys leading him over to towards Toby.

The boy was very nervous around the mascot. The boy’s father handed Toby a ball and pen, which he looked up at Toby timidly. The boy’s mother however smiled gratefully as Toby signed the ball. “Our son has been obsessed with you, Toby! It’s because of you that he’s been fighting his Leukemia” she shouted over the crowd with delight.

Toby kneeled down, and he gave the little boy a fist bump. “You don’t need to be afraid of Wolfie…I’m bigger than him” he said.

The little boy smiled as Toby handed him the autographed football. The ball had the names of everyone else on the team, and the little boy quickly gave him a hug. Most of the people in the crowd awed at Toby returning the hug before he lifted the boy up and set him onto his shoulder. Zoe scooted in close to be in the shot of the cameras sensing a front-page moment. “Wave to everyone” Toby said. The little boy waved as the drones flew in low filming them.

The West Linn players took the field only to her continuous rambunctious howling from the opposing students. The referees came out onto the field, and Toby let the boy make the call in the coin toss. They won the toss, and the little boy wanted Toby to play offense to start off.

As the game started, it quickly turned to chaos as Toby lead his team to a lopsided halftime lead of 63-0. The little boy hung around the team, while Toby watched Sasha perform on the field. Zoe scooted up beside him on the bench, and she grinned. “Wow…I didn’t know you were so good with kids” she teased him.

Toby blushed as she punched him in the shoulder pads. “Uh…isn’t that what I was supposed to do?” he asked.

Zoe grinned. “Don’t be so modest! We all know coach forgot to tell you about make-a-wish, and he was sweating bullets when they brought Adam onto the field” she said.

Toby made a straight face at her. “Why didn’t any of you tell me?”

“I know you Toby. All the pups like you for a reason” She told him before she snickered to herself. “I’m sure Sasha is glad to know that you’d make a good father”

He stared at her in a panic. “What do you mean?”

“Oh nothing…you know she likes kids” Zoe said in a roundabout way.

“She’s not pregnant”

“I wasn’t saying she was…why you didn’t have a rubber break on you, did you?”

The coach walked up to them grinning. “Good job!” he said before he looked towards Zoe and he snickered. “Pick up one the defense, we don’t need to slaughter them with more points” he said.

Once Sasha’s routine was over, she walked by and blew him a hot steamy kiss, and Toby waved back at her. The players looked towards him grinning and snickering at her display of affection. “Wow, your girlfriend is thicc!” one of the safeties remarked.

“You like big girls huh?” a cornerback added.

“Liking dat ass huh Toby?”

“What about dem tits?”

“You know I can fucking hear you!” Toby shouted at them. They all snickered to themselves, which Zoe nudged him.

“You know…Sasha has been acting a lot more confident recently”

Toby laughed. “She has been hanging around you after all” he added.

“Well…she’s been around you even longer” she retorted while bumping her shoulder into his. “Hey, you made her grow to love herself”

“So…has she given you a TJ yet?” she asked.

He cocked his head at her question. “What’s a TJ?” he asked.

“It’s called a…Titty job…you know” she said before she simulated mashing her breasts together and move them up and down.

Toby stared at her horrified. “So, you’ve put her up to this?” he asked before she slapped him on the back.

“Your welcome” she said. She snickered and bumped him with her elbow. “I gave her ideas…It was up to her to try it out” she said before she winked at him. “She has been thinking about this since last week” she said.

“I had to clean the ceiling because of you” He grumbled.

She stared at him confused. “What do you mean?”

“She did it to me while I was in therian form”

Zoe nearly chocked on her saliva while gasping at this. “She what!?” she managed to say. She covered her mouth and snorted. “Holy shit! That’s some straight up yiff shit right there”

He scowled at her mildly annoyed with her laughing at his predicament. “Gee thanks”

“What? I think you’re rather lucky to have a human girlfriend who knows how to get your therian’s rocks off…Maybe Gwen can show her how to please your Lycaon form too”

“You can’t be serious”

“For real…one night they both got drunk, and she handled a full blown Lycaon…and lived”

“I’m not doing her in my Lycaon form”

“Hehe, if I don’t know what love is. She’s real ambitious to be going at yea like she has been”

“I guess” he mumbled before he sighed heavily. “Yea…she’s been acting strangely. Like she wanted to mate with me but she felt bad for thinking it” he said.

“It’s because she was. I just had to get it through her head that she’s not a bad person for having fantasies over you” she said before she grinned. “She looks much happier now” she added.

He looked up towards the stands where Sasha was seated. “I’m glad she’s feeling better…I thought I was the problem. You know, for asking her out to the dance and all” he said.

She knocked onto his helmet. “Hello! This is all about her sheltered life not you, turd ball!” she shouted. He scowled at her before she winked at him. “I think we’ve corrupted her enough to turn her” she said.

He removed his helmet and gave her a look. “Why do you gotta make it sound so devious and evil?”

“I like to play the part” she said before she stuck her tongue out at him. “Come on man, lighten up. She’s my friend too”

He blushed and looked at his helmet on the bench. “I know…I’m just worried about her step-dad”

“Oh well…more a reason to turn her. Maybe…oh wait…you said step-dad. I forgot” Zoe remarked.

•••

After the game ended, a group of people set up a stage, dance floor, tent, lights, and everything possibly needed for a big dance. The scoreboard shown 98-17 and students were taking pictures of the scoreboard before they left to get ready for the dance. Toby waited in the end zone with his black dress shirt and ironed Dockers.

Sasha came out wearing a red V-neck dress which exposed some of her cleavage, and it hugged her curves making people gawk at her as she strutted up to Toby with her red high heels with lace that went up to her calves. He stared at her in shock as she smiled back at him sheepishly bearing her red lip stick. “Uh…wow” he muttered.

Zoe walked up to them grinning evilly. “So, little red has made the big bad wolf speechless huh?” she teased. She wore a toga along with gold sandals and cord. On her back was a rigid foam practice sword used for training.

Sasha blushed. “You like it?” she asked as she ran her hand over her side innocently.

He whimpered to himself, and Zoe snickered. “Oh, it’s driving his wolf crazy…literally, I think he might come out” she said.

Sasha frowned as she took his hand. “I can change into something else if you can’t handle it” she asked.

He panicked and whimpered. “Oh, I’ll manage…you don’t need to change…you look good” he said before he smiled at her faintly. “You look amazing” he said.

She sighed heavily. “Honestly, I thought giving you release would have made your wolf behave the rest of the night. You can’t be already that worked up, can you?”

“Well, um…you see, I uh, instincts and…staring, and…stuff” He mumbled.

“Alright his brain broke. You know he ain’t lying when he gets all stupid like that. I think you look very sexy” Zoe added.

Sasha looked Zoe over confused. “Should I be afraid to ask?” she muttered. Zoe got excited nodding waiting for her to do so. She sighed heavily. “Why are you dressed like that?”

“I’m Zoe! The Amazonian Wolf Goddess of…”

“It’s her LARP costume” Toby interrupted.

Zoe drew her sword and popped Toby over the head shouting, “Bad Toby!” before she popped him again. “You don’t interrupt a Goddess’s introduction!”

She saw the flash of anger in his eyes and gulped. “Uh, Let’s go!” she shouted as she dragged him across the field. He stared Zoe down snarling as he was humorously being yanked through the crowd by his much-shorted plump girlfriend.

Once they got into the tent, they lost track of Zoe. She looked up into his eyes deeply and smiled. “You’re such a goober!” she said before she rubbed his belly roughly. “You need to relax and enjoy yourself. You’re being more…wolfish than usual”

He gave her a strange look before she felt around the area where there once was a hole only to feel strong muscle underneath. She looked away from his annoyed gaze. “I know I told you to not hold it in, but no fighting for dominance around our classmates. Heaven forbid all the girls see you lose your shirt…or…see all of your naked glory”

“Okay? I wasn’t going to go that far”

“Where you Toby? Where you?” She asked skeptically.

Casey and his brother came inside the tent, which Toby immediately started to growl at them. Sasha in turn pressed herself up against him and even more so after she turned to look at them. They looked at them nervously before Casey spoke up. “I know what it looks like, but…I’m not here to cause any trouble” His brother looked away discouraged and hugged himself.

Toby stared them down intensely ready to tear them into pieces if they advanced a step farther. “Toby, that man said that you were a pureblood. Are all purebloods always as strong as you?”

“For your information, Toby is the son of an insanely powerful Alpha. Zoe is the daughter of another powerful Alpha. Toby’s the strongest one around! So you better behave!” Sasha told him sternly.

“I’m sorry, honest. We didn’t know what we’re getting into. I know nothing about werewolves. We need help…” Casey begged.

“And Olivia?” Toby asserted.

“I don’t know…she’s just kind of there” Casey shrugged.

The vice principal cleared his throat startling Sasha, which he chuckled to himself. “Sorry about that! I didn’t mean to scare you” he apologized. He looked at her dress and sighed. “Oh, thank goodness” he muttered.

“What?” Toby probed.

The vice principal shook his head. “It’s nothing serious, just checking for dress code violations” he said before he looked up at Casey and his brother suspiciously.

Sasha blushed. “My dress is a violation?” she shrieked.

He rolled his eyes. “I said it’s nothing serious…Just drama some girls want to start up that’s all. Just have a good time alright” he muttered before he wondered off.

“You think that he heard us?” Sasha whispered.

“Probably” Toby muttered unconcerned. Sasha took a deep breath frustration for saying that much out loud.

“So what now?” Sasha asked.

“Nothing” Toby said simply as he crossed his arms over his chest. He walked up to the two brothers causing them to shutter and become submissive. “I’ll get a hold of someone…he can get you the help you need” he told them before he left with Sasha.

He pulled out his phone texting Bernie, “Hey, I got two thralls at the school, they said they need help” —Toby 20:05

“Then help them. I’m chained up at work” —Bernie 20:09

“I don’t have any experience with this sort of stuff” —Toby 20:09

“I’m not going to debate this with you. End of discussion!” —Bernie 20:15

“They might have the information that you might want” —Toby 20:16

As the dance went on, Toby moved around awkwardly during the slow dance sequence, which Sasha began to take notice. She squeezed his arm tightly and looked up at him concerned. He looked down at her, and he loosened up immediately. She rested her head upon his abdomen sighing happily as she placed his hand over her shoulder, and he looked around to see Zoe dancing with Percy.

He was having to listen to some of the female students complain about Sasha with her figure. “So, Sasha, I was wondering…I don’t know how to say this but. I’ve been hearing a lot of girls saying how unnatural your figure looks…none of your witch friends helped you gain this figure did they?” Toby asked.

Sasha looked up at him and made a face. “Well she wasn’t a friend, but…” she said before she became embarrassed. “When I was in middle school, I noticed all the popular girls all had some big knockers. I spoke to one of the 8^th graders after I heard rumors about them being a witch and knowing how to make boobs grow. Tch, that was a big mistake.

They gave me this weird drink and these pills. Like a sucker I paid them my lunch money for a couple months. At first It turned out great. I had these cute perky C cups in 6^th grade. I got a lot of attention especially when my butt grew, and I had boys asking me out. But, even when I stopped taking the pills and the drink…my body didn’t stop growing. I found out that what I was drinking was minotaur colostrum and the pills were left over from the girls’ sister who finished transitioning from a boy” she explained.

“Well that’s not a good combination” Toby reacted.

“No, it’s not! And, the worst part about it all was…all those girls turned out to have stuffed their bras with socks. I had double Ds when I was 13. I’m glad they stopped growing as fast, but yea…my hormones got all screwed up with that stuff”

“Does your mom know?”

Sasha gritted her teeth and nodded. “Yea, I mean other girls got the same things I did, but…none blew up as much as I did”

“So, what happened to that witch?”

“She got expelled…As for me, I have to live with been having back problems and a whole list of other problems just because of what I did…Although, your back massages are super amazing. I think I can live with this” she told him. In the corner in the darkness of the field, she saw Olivia scowling and glaring at her with a flaming hate.

•••

Once the Dance wrapped up, they began to announce homecoming King and Queen. It was no surprise that Toby was announced as King, but before the Queen was announced, Olivia arrogantly took the stage waving to the crowd. “And the winner is Sasha Thomas!” the announcer called. Olivia shot her head towards the announcer and ran over to him yanking the paper from him.

The paper had names circled and percentage points next to them. Toby received 98%, while Sasha got 54% and Zoe got 42%. Her face contorted, and she shredded up the paper after seeing that she only got 4% of the votes. “I’m going to kill her! Stupid cow!” she said under her breath.

Toby and Sasha were crowned and Zoe came up with Percy to take pictures with them before Olivia snuck up behind Sasha. She had transformed slightly, and Zoe rushed into grab Olivia’s arm growling. “The fuck are you doing bitch!?” she shouted. The students took notice with Olivia’s sudden change in appearance and voice.

Olivia looked at her surprised as she tried to overpower Zoe. “I’m going to hacks off those udders, off that stupid fat cow!” she shouted before Zoe pushed her to the ground.

“You’re going to have to get through me and Toby…” Zoe spoke down to her as she stepped on her head. Toby took Sasha’s hand and whisked her away to a safe place.

“Get off me, dope user!”

“Ha takes one to know one! These muscles are all mine. Tell you what, I’ll let you go for her, and I can start digging your grave. I’ll make it nice and shallow just like you, okay” Zoe told her.

She lifted her foot, and Olivia roared getting to her feet. She ran through the mass of students not caring that they saw her and out the tent with the vice principal running after her. Olivia was very surprised when she got tackled to the ground by Bernie. “Goddamn it! That slut is gonna pay! What the fuck!? Let me go!” she shouted struggling.

Bernie frowned as he smeared her face into the mud with his knee. “I thought I told you to behave!” he spoke harshly before he pulled out his radio. “Suspect has been apprehended” he spoke into his radio.

“I’m on your tail” Ulf said on the radio.

Bernie looked back at Ulf as he ran up quickly before he injected a sedative into Olivia’s neck. He waited for it to come into full effect, which Olivia became more sluggish and slurred her words.

Bernie shook his head. “Go and take her to the Dog Pound…interrogate her” he said.

Zoe came out and stood over them muttered, “Just euthanize her already!”

“Fuck…you” Olivia uttered before Zoe kicked her in the head knocking her out.

Bernie looked up at her irritated with her. “That wasn’t necessary! None of this was necessary! Why did you release her around all of the students!?”

“She was only going after Sasha. I knew you were there”

“I’m going to ask you again. Why did you release her!?” Bernie’s voice boomed. Zoe went quiet before Bernie stood up as Ulf picked up Olivia and dragged her over to a black delivery van. “That was reckless and irresponsible! They all have seen her when you could have shielded her with your body. And for what? Just so you can humiliate her more and make yourself look tough!? We all know your tough Zoe!”

“But Dad! She’s a…”

“ENOUGH! I RAISED YOU BETTER THAN THIS!” He screamed at her.

Zoe lowered her head and clenched her fist. “Yes sir!” she mumbled.

“You’re lucky things turn out they way they did…I don’t what to have another Toby incident! Understood?” he told her.

She nodded slowly as the vice principal caught up with them. “Ah, Mr. Cooper! Am I glad to see you” he called out. He looked up at the van driving off before he asked, “So, it’s safe to assume that she is a werewolf, correct?”

Zoe cringed before Bernie sighed heavily slowly not answering the question. “Where are you taking her?” he asked slightly concerned.

“She will be taken to a secure facility”

He gulped not sure how to respond to the incident. “For how long?”

“Until we deem it to be safe”

“What am I going to tell her guardian? What am I going to tell the students?”

“You tell her Aunt that she is left campus as for the students tell them not to take any syringes from anyone”

“Zoe! Hey!” Percy shouted. The supernatural club all migrated out of the tent and naturally over to their member. “You’re a beast!”

“Oh wow! Is he your dad?” Terra asked.

“I heard him over the music” Rea said.

“Where did Toby go?”

“Probably not far” Clare remarked.

The vice-principal grew weary with them getting in their business before Bernie glanced over at Zoe. “So, this is your little crew”

“Yup, they are cool with us”

“Well, then perhaps you all can convince them that this is just a prank”

“Good luck!”

Meanwhile Ulf drove the van through backroads through forests and farmlands, and they finally pulled into a warehouse that was miles away from the school. Sea lions barked nearby, and the water thundered over a nearby waterfall. The large garage door closed and inside the warehouse was a safe room with one-foot thick concrete walls and a thick heavy steel door. Ulf got out of the truck as a group of cloaked people with masks emerged from the safe room. They formed a circle around the van as he opened the back door.

Olivia huddled in the corner crying in the fetal position. Her mascara streaked down her cheek and her eyes puffy. There was an African Americans wolf on a steel box in his anthro form with his arms crossed over his chest. “Alright! Get up!” he spoke firmly.

“Please don’t kill me!” she shouted as she put her hands up to her face.

He rolled his eyes and grabbed her hand. “Let’s go!” he shouted as he lifted her up roughly.

“If you’re going to act like an animal, I’m going to treat you like one!” Ulf scolded her as he dragged her out of the van.

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” she shouted as she was hauled into the safe room.

As the doors closed, she banged on the doors crying hysterically. He shook his head at her watching from the slot as she slid down the door. He frowned at her feeling some sympathy towards her. “This is what happens to wolves who cause us trouble. I think that you’re getting it easy” he said before he sat down on a chair. “Now, do you know who sired you?” he asked.

She stared at him confused. “W-what the hell are you talking about!?” she shouted.

He growled lowly. “Who gave you werewolf powers!?” he boomed.

Her body trembled as she whimpered. “I…I don’t know them” she said with a shaky voice. She looked at the ground. “He was just a person who told me that he could make me popular again, and he stuck me with a needle” she said.

His eyes widened. “Stuck you with a needle!?” he shouted.

“Yea”

“So, what is with this priest?”

“Brother Ezekiel is just a guy from my church. He said he could help us learn how to control our powers. Only, he told us to lock ourselves in our rooms even gave us restraints and muzzles”

“That’s not a good way to control your powers” Ulf stated.

“I figured that out. He didn’t know anything. He just kept telling us that we were a danger to everyone around us and we should just deal with being miserable. Toby showed me there was a different way” she added before she realized something.

“You know, Ezekiel seemed to be really bothered when he met Toby. Said something about his dad turning him into a werewolf”

“Don’t be absurd. Toby’s father isn’t that stupid”

“Something about the power of werewolf blood”

Ulf stared her down and pondered. “Was he a hunter?”

“I dunno…he knows a lot about ‘em”

He stood back up hearing the door open. He saw Bernie come in with Casey and his brother following behind. He made a face and stared down his father. “So, what does werewolf blood mean to you with hunters?”

“Why?”

“The priest”

“You know what happens when a human comes in contact with werewolf’s blood. Any hunter should know this” One of the cloaked guards remarked.

“Not all” Bernie remarked.

“I think the priest was there when Steele was killed” Ulf suggested.

“You think?”

Olivia reached over to rub her sore shoulder. “What’s going to happen to me!?” she asked.

Bernie sighed heavily. “We’re going to assign you an actual case worker and get you rehabilitated” he said before he stood back up.

“Um, just so you know. It’s also a stupid idea to attack an alpha male’s mate at all, especially during mating season. If those kids weren’t there, things would have been different. I heard what you did with Sasha’s arm” Ulf lectured her.

She whimpered. “What is there left for me? Everything is over! I fucked up!” she muttered to herself.

He shook his head. “Being popular isn’t everything in life. That stunt you pulled last night only made everyone side with Sasha more. She doesn’t even care about being popular, and she acts herself not someone she isn’t” he said.

She scowled at him. “They just like her because of her tits and her ass! I heard what she did with the minotaur colostrum!” she muttered.

“Minotaur colostrum? You think that anything to do with it? It’s genetics” Bernie laughed.

“It’s epigenetics” Casey’s brother corrected him monotonously.

Casey looked at him confused. “Epigenetics? What’s that?” His brother stayed quiet not liking the look Bernie gave after being corrected.

“See I told you!” Olivia yelled.

Bernie laughed rolling his eyes. “I don’t know about this epigenetics mumbo jumbo, but you act weak around her…even as a werewolf Sasha makes you insecure” he muttered to himself. He cleared his throat. “I’m pretty sure with her taming Toby—the most feared student in the school—has something to do with her popularity” he said.

Olivia went silent as she was reminded of all the injuries Toby inflicted upon their fellow students the past several years. “I guess so…” she muttered as she got up and walked over to a chair across from him. “So, I won’t be locked up?” she asked.

He shook his head. “You’re just here until your case worker is here, and she’ll take you home” he said before someone came inside with a platter filled with meats. “I bet you’re starving…why don’t you eat up?” he asked. She wasted no time in pouncing onto the platter and devouring the contents. He chuckled to himself. “I thought as much” he said before he pulled out his phone and sighed in boredom.

“Hey, Levi…what’s epigenetics?” Casey asked.

“That minotaur colostrum…it awakened a gene that was already there. It would have stayed dormant until something else awakened it” Levi munched on the meats.

“What if I drank it?” Olivia asked.

“Probably nothing…”

“Damn it! I hope that he gets her pregnant!”
