… "Katanu. Late as usual. Detention after school right in my classroom."
… "Wow, I can't believe that Katanu is late again. I mean I'm not even surprised."
"Is this like the six billionth time he's late?"
"Alright students, settle down, it's time to start the lesson."
… "Well look what we have here. The plague."
"Ugh. To think we're in the same building as him."
"I know right? It's time to do our usual 'check-up'."
"Tyron, Reiner; you know what you have to do."
… "Wow, I never thought a place like this even existed. I wonder, can I train here? I mean ever since we started combat class, the instructors didn't even bother training me, so I don't see why not. But if I'm going to be at the same level as the other students, I'm going to need to train like hell."
… "Okay, that didn't work. Wait! I do remember feeling angry when I fired the beam. Maybe that's it."
Six Years Later… Year 3350
Katanu is now 16 years and in his final year at Tetra Force High School, as for the bullying, it has become even worse than before. More werewolves participated in beating up Katanu. There would even be those openly insulting him. As for Rayn, Tabatha, Tyron, Reiner, and Penelope; their beatdown on him becomes more vicious. Hell, even the teachers themselves would occasionally beat him up. Of course, this never affects our protagonist, as he's been used to it.
His daily routine consists of him waking up, doing the morning household chores, getting ready, going to school, getting beat up by his main bullies at the school alley, getting beat up by his classmates and teacher during homeroom, classes, afternoon beatdown by the majority of the school, forest training, afternoon household chores, and sleep.
As for his 'father,' he no longer sees Katanu as a person, but just a slave. The business trips that his mother has to take have become more frequent as of late and so she never notices what happens in the household. She gives her husband some money for the month to help contribute and provide for Katanu, but he never gives it to him, because of his resentment and hatred towards Katanu. Whenever Katanu gets his chores done a little bit incorrectly or when he arrives home by even one second later than usual, he would get a horrifying beatdown from his father.
Now, Katanu lies on the ground with his back facing the wall in the homeroom class as his classmates and homeroom teacher walk away to their seats satisfied from giving him his daily beating.
"Hey, guys."
Everyone in homeroom class looks at the person that just spoke, as all eyes are on her now.
"I feel bad beating Katanu up. I think we should stop this whole bullying."
A few seconds pass by, as the whole room is filled with silence, until the girl that spoke up laughs and so does the rest of the people in the room.
"That was a good one right there. I just wish I could've recorded it."
"Wait until my friends hear about this."
"Nice one Maria. I'll be sure to have your teachers give you A's in all your subjects," said the teacher.
"What can I say, mam? It's just what I do. No one would ever care about that filthy insect."
"Yeah. The fact that he even breathes is a crime itself."
"Honestly, we're just doing the world a favour."
The bell rings signalling the end of homeroom class and making everyone go to their next period. Time skips to break time, and the students go about their day doing what they usually do. Katanu sits on the school rooftop staring at the sky, but his little moment gets interrupted by a group of students. One of them calls him by his nickname to get his attention
"Hey, demon."
Katanu immediately knows who it is as he hears his voice every time. The person is none other than Rayn. With him is his gang, along with other students. With an intimidating tone, Rayn says, "Are you ready for your daily beatdown?"
Katanu gets shocked. Not from what Rayn has just said, but because of a smell emanating from him. It smells like vanilla raspberry ice cream with some chocolate syrup covered with peanuts. Katanu realizes that Rayn is his mate. It happens on the day of your birthday by the age of 16. The way to know if someone is your mate is if they have the same birthday as you and that they have a nice sweet smell. Though Katanu is shocked by this revelation, he makes sure to not show it.
He then gets his beatdown from everyone, except Rayn, because he also realises that Katanu is his mate. This realisation makes him furious.
"(Out of all people, it has to that demon? That should be impossible. No one should be his mate. And the fact that it's ME?!?" But suddenly he thinks of an idea, which is supported by his evil smile. "(Luckily, I know how to fix that.)"
When the beating is done the students, except for Rayn's gang, leave. Rayn tells his gang to leave and said that he'll join them shortly. They do as they're told and then Rayn looks at Katanu with a deadly glare. Then he starts his brutal beating on Katanu. It first starts with giving him some cuts and bruises, but then it progresses into him revealing his claws, giving Katanu some major cuts from his stomach, and back and then stabbing him in his arm. Then he delivers more severe cuts on him. After that, he stops feeling satisfied with what he's done. He then gets close to Katanu and whispers to him with some venomous in his tone, "I, Rayn Breeve, reject you as my mate."
He then leaves as if nothing happened.
The bell rings, but Katanu is in no mood to go to his next period. He gets up, uses his power to heal his injuries, and becomes brand new. He then teleports to his room and lays down on the bed. He thinks back to when Rayn rejected him. Yes, he knew that Rayn would reject him without a second thought, so then why does he still feel a bit sad? Did a part of him think that Rayn would accept him as his mate because it's a werewolf custom?
He decides to not ponder about it any longer and just focuses on himself right now. Katanu hears something about a murder case on the TV in the lounge. Being curious, he goes there to check it out making sure his dad doesn't see him. He arrives and sees the whole news.
"Today's topic will be a murder that happened just recently in Tetra Force city. What do you have to say Tarzana?"
The T.V. clip then switches to a woman wearing business clothing. "Hello, I am here today at the scene of the crime. We can see the medics carrying the dead body."
Katanu gets shocked at what he sees because he recognizes the body instantly. That person is his mother. A lot of emotions start to spiral around him, but then it all starts to become numb. He can't feel anything right now, because of the shock.
"(If mom is dead, what's the point of living now?)"
Right then and there, he decides to take his own life, but then he remembers her smile.
"(No, I can't think like that. She wouldn't want that, but one thing's for sure, I'm not staying here anymore. There's no point anyways. The reason I decided to still be here was because of you mom. I hope you can rest in peace.)"
And with that, he teleports back to his room and packs the necessities, which aren't much, and then he teleports to the secret spot in the forest. He says his goodbyes to the animals and leaves, but then a little creature holds his leg. Katanu looks down to see a little female dragon looking at him with teary eyes.
"Do you want to come with me?"
The dragon nods and hops on his shoulder.
Katanu reminisces back to when he first encountered her. It was during one of his explorations that he stumbled upon a cave nearby, but it gave off a dark presence. He went inside the cave but saw a little dragon looking at him with fear. He disarmed himself and said to the dragon that he meant no harm and stood still. The dragon had some doubt, but it came towards Katanu slowly. It eventually reached him and then Katanu reached down to its level, which made the dragon back away a bit. Katanu reached closer to the dragon and proceeded to pat its head. The dragon loved it and came closer to Katanu. Katanu then picked up the dragon to see what gender it is. After some inspection, he finds out that it's a girl.
Back to the present, Katanu uses his power to change his outfit. He now wears a mercenary outfit covered with a dark cloak. "Hmm, That's better."
With that, Katanu sets out on his journey. He doesn't know where it will be, but he knows that it will be far away from here.
Meanwhile…
It nearly becomes the end of the school and Rayn comes up with a plan to humiliate Katanu. He tells his group to gather everybody, including the staff members in the hall. It takes some time, but everyone is in the hall. Rayn climbs up the stairs and looks down at everyone ready to give his speech.
"Now, I know you may be wondering why I brought you all here. Well, it's the topic revolving around mates."
Everyone is now looking at him with confusion. They know about mates and so they want to know where he's going with this.
"We all know about mates, but when I found mine, I was disgusted. It was none other than that disgusting demon himself."
Everybody now understands why he was talking about mates and looks at him in shock.
"I can't believe this would happen to you."
"I know right? You're the future Alpha of the Tetra Force pack. You can't let a plague like him be the Luna."
"My thoughts exactly. And guess what, he thought that I would accept him as his mate. The nerve of him."
By this point, everyone was laughing at this joke.
"That has to be a joke, right?"
"Why would he ever think that?"
"Just who does he think he is?"
The negative comments about Katanu keep going. Rayn enjoys the ruckus that's happening. He then decides to deliver the finale.
"How about we teach him a lesson?"
Without a second thought, they all agree but then get disappointing news.
"Sir, he's not here."
This shocks everyone.
"W-Well maybe he's just hiding somewhere in this school."
"We checked everywhere, but he's not anywhere. It's like he just disappeared without a trace."
"WHAT!" The crowd exclaims.
