MyStreet: Love~Love Paradise (Ashter x Katelyn) Book 2 (COMPLETE)

Chapter 22: I still don't trust you. Believe it.

"HAHAHAHAHA!!!" Laughs a Werewolf around Ashter's age as the one who laughs picks Ashter up by his now longer hair, as he stares at it, grinning menacingly...

"You know... I ALWAYS hated that hair of yours... Lake... Why not I just..." Says the Werewolf as they wield a pocketknife as Ashter's eyes could only flicker from red and silver, but becomes exhausted as he couldn't even yell, but only listen, but as soon as he heard the blade, he panics.

"L-Let go of me-!" Ashter says as the Werewolf yell,

"CUT IT FOR YOU!" Yells the Werewolf as the blade cuts through Ashter's hair, cutting it back to the bottom of his neck as Ashter is thrown to the ground... Injured... Terrified. He promised to never cut his hair earlier and... This Werewolf did it while he was down...

"Y-You... You..." Ashter says as the Werewolf grins at Ashter, as his eyes flood back to their red color as Ashter's facial expression twists into anger itself, his eyes fuming with rage from before and emotions beyond itself... As slits form in his two eyes... His tail and the tips of his ears flood with red as Ashter yells,

"EIN!" Ashter yells as the Werewolf backs off, instantly terrified at the eyes... He has only seen them in one other person... But he didn't realize...

That Ashter had them.

Ashter snaps out of his state as Aphmau comes in, shaking Ashter,

"Ashter! Ash! C'mon, snap out of it!" Aphmau says as Ashter immediately shakes his head as it turns to Aphmau... (Also Spoilers so if you don't want that skip to the next paragraph) (As you can see. Due to Aphmau not being the Alpha, she wasn't targeted much by a Werewolf known as Ein. And since Ashter was the Alpha... The second series of Phoenix Drop High will be focused on Ashter breaking through his Junior year as Alpha along with many other challenges. Aphmau just doesn't know the pain he's going through and it'll be explored sooner or later.)

Ashter immediately calms down as he supports his forehead with his hand, nervously saying,

"S-Sorry... I just... Got hit by a yacht..." Ashter says as Aphmau didn't understand... But Aaron can piece only a few things together but even he doesn't get the bigger picture.

"Oh, Aphmau, Aaron... And Ashter." Gene says as Aphmau looks at Gene, before saying with a bold voice,

"Gene." Aphmau says as Aaron couldn't help but feel an intense air around Ashter just by even hearing the words "Gene".

"Aph... I think we should take Ashter with us." Aaron suggests much to Aphmau surprise, nodding.

"Yeah... I think we should, hey Ash?" Aphmau says as Dante cuts her off, saying,

"Wait! Take Ashter I where!?! But he hasn't seen Gene since High School, he has to catch up!" Dante says as Ashter's mouth turns into him gritting his teeth, being stopping, his mouth turning to normal.

"It's fine, Aph... Really." Ashter says as Gene nervously chuckles, before saying,

"Sorry little bro, but I think Ashter has the right to not be able to see me," Gene says in an understanding voice, surprising Aaron, Aphmau, and Dante. Ashter just glares daggers into Gene, saying,

"I still don't trust you. Believe it." Ashter can only say as soon, the three were at the beach as Ashter sits down with Aaron as they both see Aphmau happily splashing water around as Aaron had to say something, as he then asks,

"Hey, Ashter?" Aaron asks politely as Asher turns to him, asking,

"Yeah...?" Ashter asks as Aaron looks down at the sand, kicking a bit, as he then breathes in and out, knowing some emotions will be exposed if Ashter answers his question.

"Ashter..." Aaron says, looking back at his friend, as he then asks,

"What happened in High School while I wasn't there?" Aaron says, as Ashter shrugs, not knowing what to say...

But it did take a bit of encouragement for Ashter to then... Tell some of the stories... That happened in Phoenix Drop.

"Well... I was the Alpha of the school... I was appreciated, accepted, and gave a name for myself... But that's when another Werewolf named Ein came in and... Started making friends with me and Aph." Ashter says as Aaron tilts his head, confused at the name, 'Ein'.

"Ein...? Who's... That...?" Aaron says as Ashter silently thinks about what to say... He's never had to tell anyone who he is... Besides Katelyn in High School but even she doesn't know Ashter as much as she does now... Even when she saw him many times, Ashter just went through a lot of physical changes he's almost unidentical to his High School self.

"I... Well... Ein... Ein was a nice guy, calm, polite, and humble... He gained a lot of popularity from the other Werewolves and even got close to Aph..." Ashter says as Aaron's eyes immediately widened before Ashter reassured him,

"Don't worry, Aaron... We were only friends." Ashter says as Aaron becomes reassured... Seems like Ashter was telling him the truth all along...

"But... Then I became closer to Ein as a friend... He knew where I walked, where I go, and... My Magic..." Ashter says as a swirl of fire twist around his finger, which confuses Aaron a lot,

"What does your Magic have to do with this... Ein guy?" Aaron asks as Ashter sees Potions... Blood... Tears... As he tears up himself a bit before wiping it away, before silently saying,

"Ein and Gene... Teamed against me..." Ashter says which makes Aaron growl under his breath, as he pieces together more pieces of this puzzle... It was nearly complete as suddenly, Aphmau calls out to Aaron, which the two look to see her swimming!

"Aaron! Look! Look! I did it!" Aphmau says as Aaron immediately smiled, getting up to say,

"Great job, babe! Now c'mon, let's go get you something to eat!" Aaron says as Aphmau's eyes grew stars in it as she immediately swims to shore, yelling,

"Okay! Coming!" Aphmau says as her feet were all sandy as Aaron blushes upon seeing her flipping her hair back as it was getting into her face, Ashter notices this as he nudges Aaron's leg, which snaps him out of his trance.

"Hey, Aaron. You there?" Ashter says, picking himself up, as Aaron immediately panicked, but got his composure back as he then says,

"O-Oh! Yeah, um..." Aaron says, getting an excuse to take the situation away from him,

"Hey, wanna get some lunch with me and Aph?" Aaron says as Ashter happily accepts this... Leaving off, to go get some grub...
