« Hunters a.s.sociation Academy »"I just disappeared in just a short period of time but you are already brainwashing the minds of my students. Why are you making them confused?"
t.i.tania turned around only to see Ethan, standing and leaning on the door while his arms were crossed together over his chest, his brows knitted in a frown.
", how long he had been there?"
"Brainwashing?! Excuse me, sir, don"t look at me like that. I am just telling a fact here." t.i.tania denied his accusation.
"Saying werewolves are not bad... not all werewolves are beast and monsters... are those facts? It needs to have valid evidences to say that those are facts." Ethan emphasized his last sentence.
"Do you have evidence to support your statement and call it a fact?" Ethan challenged her.
"Tell me honestly, have you seen werewolves? Did you experience living with them for you to say that?" he said to her under his pressuring gaze.
t.i.tania was a loss for words. She opened and closed her mouth like a fish as she could not utter any word. Ethan entered the room and proceeded on the front.
Ethan smirked at her since it looked like he won the argument this time. But before he could finally rejoice, t.i.tania spoke up.
"Did you have a brain?" t.i.tania suddenly asked him.
Ethan frowned upon hearing her question but he answered her anyway. "Yes, of course."
"Have you seen your brain?" she asked him again.
"No." he replied promptly.
"Then, how can you say that you have a brain if you don"t see it?" t.i.tania asked him, a teasing smile appeared on her lovely face.
Ethan was rendered speechless as a realization came to him. This girl was trying to attack him using his statement just a while ago.
"Show us your brain sir so that we will believe your statement that you have a brain," t.i.tania said to him that caused the children to burst into laughter.
"This girl is really getting on my nerves." Ethan greeted his teeth. He felt like he became the laughing stuff of this cla.s.s today because of that stubborn girl.
"t.i.tania Eros! Meet me at my office after cla.s.s!" Ethan said with his stern cold voice. veins popped up on his forehead as he was trying to control his anger.
She stuck her tongue out at him and she sneered after, with a defiant expression on her face.
She turned around to return to her seat. t.i.tania sighed in relief as she was able to avoid his question about her connection with werewolves.
"Whoah, I almost expose my true self once again. I should be more careful with Ethan. He is smart and very observant." she reminded herself.
Their fighting continued throughout the whole duration of the cla.s.s.
Ethan and t.i.tania seemed like oil and water that could not be mixed, like a cat and a dog who loved fighting each other.
There was no time in a day that both of them won"t fight and argue with each other. It seemed like it became their daily routine.
But the students considered both of them cute and adorable.

~ Two Days Later ~
Alpha Tristan and Travis together with some elders, council members were having a conversation at the hall.
"We have to form the team now, father. Three days from now will be the full moon and we need to go back before that." Travis requested his father.
"I think let us just stop pursuing this plan. I believe that what happened to our werewolves fighters during the selection process is a bad omen." a man named Azul, one of the council members spoke up.
Some elders agreed with Azul"s suggestion.
"But the doctor said it was not serious. They just drink some contaminated water that day that caused them to be sick." Travis insisted.
"I don"t believe that it was a bad omen," he added.
"Please reconsider your decision, Alpha Tristan. It is for the safety of our pack members, including your son Travis." Azul continued to convince Tristan to change his decision.
Tristan was put in deep thought right now. He was thinking critically while listening to the two sides.
"We can also postpone this after the full moon," Azul suggested again.
Travis was displeased about it. He wondered why Azul was so determined to stop this plan.
"Elders, Alpha, and Council Members... please hear me out." Travis would try his best to persuade them.
"We already located one of the hideouts of Blood Moon Pack. But every after the full moon, they are transferring from one hideout to another."
He shared with them one of the information gathered by Diego upon investigating the whereabouts of Blood Moon Pack.
"If we will not move now, it will take another time to locate their new hideout. Our efforts will be in vain. Blood Moon Pack cannot be tracked easily. They are good at erasing their traces."
"This is the best time to meet them. And Dylan... we need to bring him back here as soon as possible. Don"t you agree with me?"
After saying those words, Travis was successful again in convincing those Elders and other council members, except for Azul.
"I think Travis had a point Alpha. But whatever will be your decision, we will support it and follow it." one of the elders said.
There was a moment of silence. Everyone was waiting for Tristan to speak up his mind. After deliberating, Alpha Tristan came into a decision.
"Okay, I have decided. We will not proceed with the original plan."
Everyone was confused, having the same thought in mind "Does Alpha Tristan change his mind about this and will not pursue their initial plan?"
Travis"s expression changed. It looked like he was not able to convince his father this time.
On the other hand, Azul seemed satisfied with what was about to happen. He thought he succeeded in his task.
But Tristan spoke again to elaborate what he meant.
"We will still send a team to visit the Blood Moon Pack but this time we don"t have time to proceed with the selection process."
"Instead I will appoint and choose immediately who will join Travis team."
Azul was dumbfounded after hearing Tristan"s decision. Meanwhile, Travis"s face lit up when he heard his father. He heaved a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Dad." he said as his wolf communicated to his Dad"s wolf through their thoughts.
"I did not do it for you. I did this because I think this is the best decision." Tristan replied to him. Then they stopped their mind link.
"Other than that, we will proceed to our plan, meet Blood Moon Pack, talk to them and convince them and most importantly, we need to bring Dylan back here."
"This is my decision. Does anyone here want to object?" Alpha Tristan asked them.
"No Alpha. We will follow your decision." They said in unison.
