Chereads / WEREWOLF EPIDEMIC / Chapter 3 - THE CONTAGION

Chapter 3 - THE CONTAGION

I run up the stairs of the house in silence, the pain in my body has not decreased and after my work I think it has increased. I lock myself in my room and after changing the wet sheets I go to bed stripping naked and only wearing pantyhose. Again I feel very hot but I try to sleep. I can't stop thinking about what just happened, it's inexplicably morbid.

I wake up in the middle of a puddle of sweat, I see the clock that now reads 5:30 AM, I go to my bedroom window and the sun has not risen. I'm sick of the heat, my body burns and my skin itches, I feel something similar to when I shave my pubis and my hair starts to grow, I feel it all over my body and it's annoying, I think I have a fever because I couldn't explain it otherwise sweat. I try to calm down but it's impossible, I feel dizzy and very thirsty. Why do I have to get sick on this fucking ranch?! Why at this time?

A strong light prevents me from sleeping, it bothers me too much and I growl with rage. I writhe on my bed. I feel a little tired and I think I didn't sleep well. Wait a minute. The strange creatures! Could they have been real? Was it another dream of mine like the one I had about the forest and the dead animal? I must ask Adonis if animals like the ones I thought I saw last night live here, I am very puzzled.

Contrary to my thoughts, physically I feel better, the sweating has stopped despite the fact that the sheets are soaked beyond measure. My body no longer hurts and the itching has disappeared but something strange is happening to me because my vision feels different, I can see small things in detail, although sometimes my vision blurs and then everything returns to normal. After all, I think my disease is not over. I turn to look at the clock and it is already 12:00 noon. Did I sleep that much?

I put on the same clothes as last night and my bruises on my knees are gone, weird. I head downstairs happy to be out of the damned body pain and bruises, but dazed by my other symptoms. Almost at the bottom of the stairs I see that Adonis is in the room behind me with some papers in his hands.

"Good morning", I say with a too serious voice, I didn't know you could talk like that.

He turns to see me and at first everything seems normal –Wow, the beast finally woke up… Shit!!

I jump in fright, but it seems that he is more frightened. What happen? That i have? Could it be that he noticed that my bruises have disappeared?

He stares at me and his mouth drops open, his face pales, it looks like they've seen a ghost.

"What the hell do I have?!" I'm not a weird love. – Why do you receive me like this? I finally say with a serious and angry tone.

—Look at yourself in the mirror —Adonis points to a piece of furniture in the living room, his face is pale and he can barely pronounce words, apparently he couldn't pronounce any sentences.

I scream in fear "What the hell is that?!" what happened to me? —I'm cold, the blood stops circulating on my face and I remain motionless looking into my eyes.

I have yellow irises as intense as sunflowers and so large that they occupy the entire sclera of my two eyes, my pupils are small and black as night. I can't believe this change. How could it have happened? What kind of disease is this? I'm terrified even though I can see well, quite well in fact, I check every inch of my eyes to try to understand what's going on...

"How the hell did you get it?" Adonis sounds puzzled even though the word infect terrifies me.

"It couldn't have happened any other way. Adonis infected me?" Is that why he didn't want me to swallow his cum and wanted to use a condom? Clear! Now everything fits.

-I'm sorry!! I thought we had protected ourselves well, if I had known this I would have told you immediately.

-Enough! Enough is enough, I'm amazed at how deep my voice is, is that part of the "contagion"? –I want… No, rather I demand that you tell me what I have. What did I catch? Am I going to heal?

"Of course you're not going to be cured, this is dumb for life." Adonis also sounds angry. -This is just the beginning.

"You are already a woman of our clan, you can't help it."

-One of you? What the fuck are they talking about? –The word "terrified" falls short for me and I have many doubts. I'm not a hybrid!

I run out of the living room and up the stairs, enter my room and slam the door, throw myself on the bed and start crying like a child. I'm fed up and I need answers.

Centuries have passed, I am locked in my room hungry and thirsty, and I also hear the screams of someone in the distance. I can not continue with this...

-I can enter?

-How do you feel? Are you hungry? Thirst? –Adonis hands me a tray with a lot of food and a two-liter bottle of water.

I take the tray and devour everything on it quickly, it seems that I am hungrier than I imagined. In one gulp I pour the two liters of water, after a few minutes the tray is empty.

I have to say a couple of things love, things can be hard to understand at first but you'll understand... Maybe you'll even like it.

"What's happening to me love?" My voice cracks a little but I hold back my tears.

"Well, we are suffering from a very unusual condition. -He snorts again. -Devils! I didn't want you to live or suffer this shit.

-Already! Tell me!

-You're right. –He makes a brief pause –Well, listen, now we are Lycanthropes, when I joined the clan I became a werewolf like them, they infected me and I infected you.

"Lican... what?" This is stranger than I imagined. At least I don't have cancer or something similar.

—Lycanthropes. People created legends and called us "werewolves." –He must be kidding but when I see his serious eyes, I know it's true. –We are people who at night can become beasts, during that period we only eat meat from other animals, red meat. We drink blood as if it were water, our body changes, our senses sharpen and if we don't know how to control ourselves, we can hurt the people who are nearby. We have been like this for many years. I got infected when I was four years old. It was very difficult for me because I had no one to explain to me what I did to you... But hey, enough about me. You need to know what is going to happen in the next few days.

"What will happen to me?" Tell me, I'm afraid.

—You see, during the first days of the contagion, the transformation is inconstant and repeated. At night you will undergo physical changes, your strength will increase considerably, and you may not control yourself. You will want to eat, drink… And satisfy yourself sexually. Lycanthropes have the particularity of having sex with each other. It is something "natural" for us. These days your sexual desires are going to multiply and you are going to need us.

"What the fuck!" I mean, it was you who was in the garden at dawn – I keep thinking, did I masturbate watching two people from this house fucking?

"Did you see us?" Demons!

"Who were they?" The ones from last night. I am intrigued and to some extent excited.

"What else will happen to me?"

"Well, at first the change is painful, but then your body will get used to the degree that when you're not transformed, your body will look a lot like your werewolf state." You should know that we don't let people see us transformed at all, it would be very dangerous, we have to keep this a secret. Another thing you should know is that we never walk alone. Werewolves or wolves, whatever you want to call us, we walk in a pack and now you are part of my pack, I am the leader and therefore you have to obey me. Starting today when you transform, I will not be your boyfriend, I will be your boss and you will have to do what I say or we could have serious consequences…
