"Mr Moonstone, you are late." A man stood with his arms crossed over his chest, reading some sort of list with his gaze. 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgkOEE8vaC
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. 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzcDiA2VXC
"I will not let this go. Stay after class to organise detention."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLms1bHgdnx
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.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEjkapK8mi
"And who are you?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgfYeAOYEw
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.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0iqTr5dN0
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...817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ6LTovIl8
"You deserved that," he sniggered loudly.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi4tdiPZSs
"Mr Mitchell, shut up," Mr Grayson roared. "Mr Moonstone, who is this little girl?" 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q78IGSSry
Little? What was it with people at Gray Valley calling me little? I wasn't even that small.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdXjC0xEn7
"This is Weslyn Grayson, Mr Grayson," Liam filled in for me.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtmlOCno6u
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. 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9jTtLQk2S
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.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKjv6KrGbl
"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." 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc69ZMZTig
The second he turned away to write on the board, the pain evaporated, perplexing more than I could manage.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbcDOvXGC5
"Is he like that... all the time?" I asked, my voice still shaky from the aftermath of the pressure on my skull. 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYaQoXMy3r
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.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hDvCW9UJE
"More or less," he retorted. "But we should probably shut up. He has the better hearing then most people think."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQdoXZaVak
"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.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOwoVe2aw3
"See?" he mouthed.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGWu2Vny0h
"For the love of Luna..." I whispered.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRetJVYOZZ
"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?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOP9MfC9Kp
"For the love of Luna?" I repeated uncertainly.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXqanRI4vZ
"And do you by any chance know who this infamous Luna is?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RBv05Y5rj
"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. 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIdsbOgiMg
Like I had told Liam, before, I had no idea where my catch phrase came from; only that my mother had often used it.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAdhd74qoR
"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."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1udZduYe5w
"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?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax8leb7Yok
A hush went through the class, as the students leant over their books to make notes.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jErIzQJSz
"Thanks," I told Liam. "How did you know that?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVbevSaPL4
"It's like Mr Grayson said," he responded. "I was brought up with the local legends."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbPMfsBaI5
"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?817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6IYND9KFm
He stood up and glanced at me. "We have to go second lesson, what subject do you have?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLgrtgIgwM
"Senior Latin," I frowned. "In Room 15."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTbMmlqMo5
"Room 15 is just across the corridor. I've got Senior Hebrew, so I'll see you later, yeah?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0ssJKRG94
"Er... yeah."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wB3nVvm7y
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.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcAw4n2pZD
"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."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl9FtGA6a4
"You let Liam go," I pointed out. "Besides, I have second lesson, Mr Grayson."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhEAMcExcG
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.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZv7yr6a0r
I sensed it. I sensed it from the very beginning. The rush of emotions I felt at his touch made it obvious.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTFZ1pvTvo
