"You are alone?"
A voice disturbed Mira's focus. Her eyes widened slightly, and she almost choked on her food when she saw who it was.
Jason sat beside her in the cafeteria, bringing that arrogant look with him. The beta, Jaron was following him. He also sat across Mira when he noticed that his superior had chosen a table. Most of the tables were occupied anyway.
"Those seats are for my friends," Mira's threw him an annoyed look.
"I don't see your friends," He said without too much care.
Mira looked up to his beta, who seemed to be the sanest one among the hateful trio. Yet, she found him throwing a questioning look back at her. He seemed like an obedient subordinate who was willing to do anything his superiors ordered him to.
That's it, she gave up. She pitied those who had to take residence in the Langton territory. Their future seemed bleak somehow.
At the same time, Erwin passed by their table with a cold look on his face. Mira's
Mira opened the door of Arlan's house with a bang, successively almost shattering it. She didn't bother to be polite as she directly went to his bedroom, followed by Azarias who was the calmer one.He sighed, fixing Arlan's door, then joined Mira.There he was, Arlan wrapped in a white cloth. The wound was all over his body that some blood had managed to seep through his bandage.Mira pulled Josh's collar. "How did this happen?"A moment later, she sighed and let go of Josh when Azarias rubbed her shoulder, telling her to calm down. Realizing that she was being too emotional, Mira could only restrain herself. After all, no matter how she had behaved like a boy all this time, she was still a girl."Arlan was alone when he practiced until the late afternoon. Someone attacked him with a knife out of nowhere. When another student found him, he was already bleeding profusely." Josh explained as he took a seat beside the bed.Arlan was currently u
"What are you doing here?" Mira was shocked but calmed down after she got a look at who it was.Azarias seemed guilty that he realized she might have fallen asleep. "I am sorry, I thought that you would have trouble falling asleep.""Idiot." Mira scowled, glaring at him.Mira threw him a dirty look. Nonetheless, she was glad that she did. Had she forced herself to fall asleep, she would be plagued by that horrible nightmare again. When she thought of that, she changed her words."Thanks for waking me up," Mira said, sighing. She thought of something. "Do you also have trouble sleeping?""Yes. My insomnia is acting up again." Azarias nodded, his lips curved up at her. "Want to go on the rooftop?""Hmm, that's a good idea." Mira agreed. She took Azarias's hoodie and put it on. The bigger size made her feel more comfy, even though she had to roll up the sleeves to get her hands out.When she looked at the door, her eyes twitched. "What's
It was until two weeks later that Arlan had gone back to the college. He had a wry smile on his face as he noticed the people around him secretly monitoring him. He knew that he dared to run into the basketball field alone again, they would drag him back.In truth, he had also learned his lesson.The guys had asked him who the perpetrator was. However, his head was knocked first that his sight blurred. Therefore, he couldn't say anything that could contribute as a clue. The person was cunning and crafty.The other three had the thought of plotting for murder. Arlan naturally was eager to join in."Josh, if he dared to run alone again, let's just tie him to the tree in front of your house again." Mira reminded Josh, slapping his arm in encouragement.Azarias smiled, nodding in agreement at Mira's words. "I will help you tie him so tightly high.""Will do," Josh smirked.Arlan was speechless, but he said nothing to refute. In the end, h
In front of her, standing tall the back of someone with beautiful silky red hair. The ball got crushed under the force of her hand that the shape was almost unrecognizable. If not for Mira recognizing its deep orange color, she wouldn't have known what it was. "Bullying a little human girl, how ignoble of you, Langton mutt." Her voice struck clear, causing the heads to turn in Dave's direction. Mira had just realized how weak her body was after two weeks of insomnia. She hadn't gotten a wink of sleep in days due to a nightmare. Even if she did, it only made her feel worse. Azarias came to Mira's side, causing her to be startled of how was he was it was as if he had teleported. "You and Arlan need to get some rest." Azarias's words were firm. Mira's gaze dropped to the ground, and she remained silent. She could feel that he was frowning due to something. A moment later, she found her body being lifted. Mira was surprised that sh
"How do you end up here?" Mira asked Arlan almost lifelessly. She put her head on the table in a spiritless state. "Hmm, why do you bother to ask?" Arlan harrumphed as he did the same, copying her. Just as lifeless. Of course, the two were barred from attending the basketball exercise for this afternoon. Previously, Mira's mood had gotten better after she met Seraphine. However, now she was upset again. "I feel like I want to beat up someone," Mira mumbled quietly. Arlan's mouth twitched, and he gazed warily at this girl who had a look that could deceive the masses. Underneath the cute looks was the mask of the devil. A devilish human. "Are you interested in getting beaten up?" Mira suddenly asked Arlan. "You have quite the thick skin." Arlan's veins throbbed in annoyance. This girl truly had reckless behavior and an unrestrained mouth whenever she was upset. She, sure, was looking for trouble. "Don't fight. You have to get som
"What does he mean? Mira?" Josh was the first to speak, a frown marred his forehead. He was ready to get up and snatch Jaron's collar if not for Arlan grabbing the edge of his clothes at the last moment. Mira took a deep breath. She had been acting a bit agitated these two days that she couldn't find it in herself to calm down. Now, it wasn't the right time to panic. "What do you mean?" Mira asked him back, her eyes as sharp as a blade directed to Jaron. Her hand squeezed Azarias's. She knew that he was also agitated somehow. "I need to talk to you alone." Instead of answering, Jaron looked at her with an unwavering gaze. Mira scowled inwardly. Now, you finally have common sense? He should've done that in the first place. "No," Mira said bluntly. "I don't know what you mean by mentioning him and referring me in the same sentence. I don't know and I don't care about him." Jaron was about to grab Mira's hand, but he was slapped away by A
This morning, just as Jaron said, Jason had probably passed out a day before. His complexion wasn't that good, making it obvious that he was sick somehow.Adding to his misery, Mira wasn't kind at all. She deliberately was hugging Azarias tighter as she was on his back.Mira couldn't see Jason's face, but she could sense that he was fuming with anger and Jaron was by his side, looking worriedly at his alpha.When she turned back and got off from Azarias's back, she acted as if she wasn't aware and kindly advising him. "You should watch what you eat. Look, that dork," Mira pointed at Jaron, "came to me and asked me to check your condition. I am no doctor."Mira put her hand on her chin and grinned without the slightest guilt. "But, when it comes to poisoning people. I think I am pretty good at that. Watch your subordinates, Dude."Mira could hear Azarias snickering from the side, not trying to mask it at all.This place was a bit desolate com
"Mirabella Forest, I am your--"The word 'mate' only resonated in Mira's head as she hurriedly blocked Jason's incoming words.The whole cafeteria turned silent as soon as a piece of cake was shoved into Jason's mouth. Those words were what he was supposed to say next. Luckily, Mira was fast enough to block it."Mirabella Forest, your what?" Seraphine asked in confusion."He means that I am his tablemate. He was so quiet sometimes that I forgot he even existed." Mira clicked her tongue, shaking her head sullenly. Mira slapped Jason's shoulder. "Right, buddy?"Mira's body jolted slightly when her hand touched his body. That tingling sensation was so uncomfortable, like an itch that she couldn't scratch.However, she didn't care. Mira shoved another cake to Jason's mouth as soon as he finished his current one. "Here, have another one. You must be hungry."Jason glared at her. For a second, Mira regretted that she hadn't put a fistful of
