"Mr Moonstone, you are late." A man stood with his arms crossed over his chest, reading some sort of list with his gaze. 730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeePU7IyuDv
His hair was dark; almost black and fell in messy curls. And unlike most history teachers, he wasn't particularly old. He seemed to be in about in his late twenties and looked nothing like a regular teacher. 730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj70Lu6ADSv
"I will not let this go. Stay after class to organise detention."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKF7Ork7pe
He glanced up from the paperwork on his table and my eyes widened with shock. It was his eyes. They were the colour of raging storm clouds and made an icy shiver run through my spine.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJVYYUJ7nX
"And who are you?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3n2HgYcUb
It took me a second to realise that he was addressing me. Even when I did, I found that I couldn't reply. My whole body was filled with unjustifiable fear and my voice had disappeared.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwh5juqOxw
One of the students snickered and I spotted the other boy from the bus, Bryan, smirking at me. I remembered exactly what Liam had said about him...730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTgnU6V5h4
"You deserved that," he sniggered loudly.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnmL5I47r6
"Mr Mitchell, shut up," Mr Grayson roared. "Mr Moonstone, who is this little girl?" 730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8Gf52BFpQ
Little? What was it with people at Gray Valley calling me little? I wasn't even that small.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUvgDNT8Nk
"This is Weslyn Grayson, Mr Grayson," Liam filled in for me.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyXuq6tC1y
This was Mr Grayson? His eyes narrowed at me and his mouth was set in a straight line. I subconsciously felt myself mirror his expression. 730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlvJMHfO11
There was something about him... Painful... I tried to recall where I recognised him from, only for intense force to bury itself into my head from both temples. My teeth bit down on my bottom lip to suppress the yelp that was threatening to surface.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpriJQqs45
"I'm going to ask you to stay after class, as well, Miss Grayson," he gritted out. Even in the midst of extreme anguish, I couldn't help but notice how angry he sounded. "Now both of you sit down." 730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAtKoZy8gJ
The second he turned away to write on the board, the pain evaporated, perplexing more than I could manage.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq30xEn5MI
"Is he like that... all the time?" I asked, my voice still shaky from the aftermath of the pressure on my skull. 730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu19XSaeen6
Even my usually flawless vision was hazy. I slipped into a desk in the last row after Liam and dropped my head on the table.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY70e3u4w9
"More or less," he retorted. "But we should probably shut up. He has the better hearing then most people think."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXrg4VyIHq
"Thank you for complimenting my hearing, Mr Moonstone." My mouth fell open. My Grayson was all the way on the other side of the classroom and yet he heard every word we said.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNWnFA3Ci0
"See?" he mouthed.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHBZY3q4jh
"For the love of Luna..." I whispered.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR42SLQE7u4
"Excellent, Miss." I looked up to meet the gray eyes, unsure whether or not he was talking yo me. "Yes, you, Miss Grayson. You knew our discussion topic even though you're new and arrived late. Would you like to repeat what you said for the rest of the idiots who don't pay attention in my class?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKExi6jiuMj
"For the love of Luna?" I repeated uncertainly.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzh1AOZQhx
"And do you by any chance know who this infamous Luna is?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquCVUtfhQ5
"Some kind of celestial being?" I took a guess. His eyebrows shot up and a low growl escaped his mouth. "I think..." I trailed off. 730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM80pjGFwa
Like I had told Liam, before, I had no idea where my catch phrase came from; only that my mother had often used it.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR4YW3NrLX
"The Angel of the full-moon," Liam interrupted from beside me. I shot him a grateful smile. "She was cursed by the wolf guardian and became part wolf; the original lycanthrope."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1nQV4HTDe
"Well, except for the fact that I asked Miss Grayson and you answered for her, thank you, Mr Moonstone. At least now I know someone pays attention to Mythology," his voice loudened. "As for the rest of you morons, why aren't you taking notes?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxu2knlnjM
A hush went through the class, as the students leant over their books to make notes.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ow7U7t9Q6
"Thanks," I told Liam. "How did you know that?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP3bVRJ9xQ
"It's like Mr Grayson said," he responded. "I was brought up with the local legends."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCV7GOi5oC
"But I don't get it. Why-" The school bell rang cutting me off and dismissing the class. Why was Gray Valley so into werewolves?730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpM0oFd4FF
He stood up and glanced at me. "We have to go second lesson, what subject do you have?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2AswNhpw5
"Senior Latin," I frowned. "In Room 15."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifAMXjRMrn
"Room 15 is just across the corridor. I've got Senior Hebrew, so I'll see you later, yeah?"730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYD24Hl16i
"Er... yeah."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLr8uEP46G
He gave me one last smile and left the room, leaving me alone. By Luna. This school was getting worse by the second. Why did I have to move to Gray Valley in the first place? Grabbing my exercise book off the table, I made my way outside.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMqAt03kd3
"Where do you think your going?" Mr Grayson's voice was full of authority as he stepped in front of me, blocking the doorway. "I thought I told you to stay after class."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KSGmJ0Gag
"You let Liam go," I pointed out. "Besides, I have second lesson, Mr Grayson."730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUqSe2FtOy
I ducked under his arm but he clasped his fingers around my wrist, forcing me to stop. The contact made a prickling sensation creep up my spine and I bit my lip.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM4J9emwHh
I sensed it. I sensed it from the very beginning. The rush of emotions I felt at his touch made it obvious.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLmDXCZVRv
