Every class seemed to be missing something. The teachers only said "There was an attack." That was all that needed to be said on the matter. The ones that survived a savage attack like that would probably be used as slaves by the Hunter's Guild. That would be the fate of all were-creatures that were captured. It made sense as even herbivore were-creatures could still spread the disease through biting or through the blood. Chet and Clyde did just that. I went about my classes and then went to tennis practice. Hunter and Brayden were okay and I saw them on the court. They were miffed that Bryce and I left them stranded when we fled. We had to apologize. I did my best to wave off their concerns about our safety. We then split up to do our separate practices. Bryce and I were working well. I like to be at the baseline. Bryce was the net and volleyer of the team. Actually, he was an all-rounder. It was a very good practice session and I think we did pretty well. The coach gathered us all at the end and told us that a couple of the team that were killed in the party. Our doubles pair moved up a slot.
Feeling good because of misfortune would put others off, so I did not smile or cheer. I was now a starter. We were dismissed soon after that. I then went over to where I had seen Clyde wait for me. Bryce tagged along. He was there as I suspected and led us to the others. The 6 of them and the 3 girls made up the herd for a total of 9. I saw that Michael and Jesse were not there. The loners made 12. werehorses When we turned, the number would rise to 14. I asked around a bit. Tiffany was an Omega female. Stacey and Torrie were Betas. Chet and Tiffany were an item. The male Omegas Trent and Clyde were used as the sexual relief of the rest of the herd. That was a tall order. They had to deal with the urges of 5 others. I could see why Chaz said we would be giving Chet a break. Instead of 5 on 2, we would even the numbers a bit with 5 on 4. If that was the case, I would have to ensure I got paired up with Stacey or Torrie. Getting a guy off for the whole game would not be what I would consider a good thing or a fun time. I guessed that I could also be a loner like Michael and Jesse too.
Going to school and practice for the month, I got decent grades and the team set up a match with another school. Lots of things were looking up for me. I even started talking to a female tennis team member. Her name was Lily and she was fit and blonde. Her reddish brown eyes sparkled when she saw me. The full moon was going to be in the sky tonight. The plan was for Bryce and I to meet the herd so they could induct us. I learned what that had entailed. We were going to be marked and covered in their scent. The Alpha would wait until we turned and then bite our necks. Then he would piss on us. The rest of the herd would also piss on us. That was gross. I was not a person into those kinds of watersports. I pulled my partner to the side and told him we were not doing that. He nodded with a relieved sigh. "We'll be at my house. I think being loners would be better for us. I don't want to be a toilet for those guys." I said. He nodded furiously. We went through the day. Chet told us were to go and gave us his number. We had to put in our phones. As soon as he was gone, I blocked his number.
