~Rylee~What is wrong with the Adams family? I thought it was a harmonious family. In his speeches at school functions, Mr. Adams often expressed his pride in his family. He seemed to love his wife and children very much. However, what I heard and saw a while ago contradicted the image that Mr. Adams had built up. What was going on? Why was Collin so unhappy when I spoke with his father?When I got home, I saw Dad fixing the car. I went over to see what he was doing."What are you fixing?" I asked, which startled Dad into dropping the screwdriver. Then I said, "Sorry."Dad sighed, bent down, and picked up the screwdriver. "I didn't see you coming," he said."Because you were too focused on your car," I replied.Dad moistened his lips and shrugged. "There's a little problem with the engine." I applauded him for trying his best, even though I knew Dad was no expert on car engines. Eventually, though, he called his regular mechanic. "Hey, how was your practice?" Dad asked."Good," I rep
~Rosemary~It was my first day at school. It was so annoying when all the eyes were on me. They were like looking at a very disgusting turd."Useless piece of rubbish!" "Watch your language, or you'll be expelled from this school completely!" Rylee smothered my mouth and then pulled me away from the corridor."Let go of me!" I yanked at Rylee's hand and took a step back. "Don't you see how these people are looking at me? They're looking at me like I'm a disgusting piece of sh*t," I said."They're scared of you." Rylee was still searching for justification, but...Okay, I didn't know I would shift and didn't notice. I felt my emotions running high, and what I did to Sonya was spontaneous. I was defending myself."Come on!" Rylee gestured with his head, inviting me into the class. "I won't let you off my watch this time. I won't let you mess up again," he continued, wrapping his arm around my shoulders.I didn't like being tied down, but Dad had said he would remove me from this school
~Rose~I didn't understand what Mr. Adams meant to say. Is he making me an offer? What does he want? Was there something wrong?"What do you mean, sir?" Rylee expressed my curiosity.Mr. Adams laughed. I didn't know which part was funny—Rylee's question or our curiosity. After that, Mr. Adams sighed and pushed a folder before me."You can see for yourself. You only have one more chance, Rosemary. One more infraction, and you will be expelled from this school." Mr. Adams' eyes were fixed on me.This sentence pierced my heart. I unconsciously grabbed Rylee's hand.I couldn't allow myself to be expelled, as I had promised him. "He" had helped me with so many things, and he only asked one thing of me: that I stay in this school. However, Sonya and her slaves became a complex problem for me to control. They always put me in a difficult situation.Mr. Adams' offer sounded very convincing. I didn't know what he offered, but I thought it would keep me safe."What should I do, sir? I hope it's
~Rose~The training lasted for two weeks, three times a week. My skills had yet to progress significantly, but I had learned many new techniques. Mr. Adams and his assistant have been patient with me. My shots still miss the target a lot. But at least they are better than when I first arrived.Dad taught me the basics of archery, while Mr. Adams taught me professional techniques. I thought doing what I loved would be easy, but I was wrong. Despite Mr. Adams' theories, I needed to catch up on many shots. Wind direction, aiming angle, and strength of the pull determined the shot's accuracy. "You have fifteen minutes to rest," Mr. Adams said."I have to go to the bathroom," I told him.Because of our frequent interactions, I no longer felt awkward talking to Mr. Adams. Also, Mr. Adams was very humble. We were like friends. I liked Mr. Adams.The bathroom was quite far from the field where we practiced. I wonder if this whole place belongs to Mr. Adams. I saw no significant activity in t
~Victoria~I squirmed as the light fell on my face. I hadn’t slept this well for the last five months. To be precise, since that horrible night in my life, the night my parents were killed in a tragic robbery, nightmares have haunted me every single night. I woke up gasping for breath and sweating all over my body. However, my sleep this time felt so different. The fragrance that wafted in made me even lazier to open my eyes. It reminded me of the sandalwood-scented room I missed so much.My eyes quickly opened as I felt something strange. My gaze was directed towards the thick blanket I held—a soft purple. And I realized all of this was wrong. So, I immediately got up and turned my head around.“Where is it?” I muttered while wandering my gaze.A spacious room with a comfy bed and soft bed sheets. There was no creaking in the bed. There were no porous wooden cabinets. This was not my bedroom. This room was even fancier than the one in my parents’ house.But how did I end up in this pl
I took a deep breath as I mustered up the courage. Tears won't bring back my virginity. So, I had to do something to make him regret taking my precious possession and even curse what he had done to me. I slowly moved my body, changing my sleeping position to supine, then turned to the man lying on my side while closing his eyes. "How desperate are you that the Moon Goddess did not bring you to your mate, so you had to fuck a half-breed werewolf like me to satisfy your lust?" I said, confronting my cruel Alpha. Ace quickly opened his eyes. He turned to me with a hardened jaw and a darkened glare. “You!” It was no secret that Alpha Ace Cassilas had yet to find his mate. There was not a single female werewolf he claimed as a mate. He was Alpha without Luna. I assumed he's been masking his loneliness by taking advantage of the slutty girls who adore him. Someone once told me that Ace Cassilas considered half-breed werewolves to be the most despicable creatures who did not deserve to b
He stood before me, looking at me with some emotion. I could feel the anger, but I tried to remain calm. His sunken eyes glared at me. I didn't think for a second about looking away. I met that gaze squarely in both eyes. I wouldn't let him see the weakness in me. "Such an unexpected fate, isn't it?" My sarcastic voice broke the tension-filled silence between us. Ace shook his head while thinning his lips. I thought we felt the same way. I didn't expect this bastard to be my mate, either. The Moon Goddess seemed unsatisfied with all my suffering, so she chose a mate as bastardly as Ace Cassilas for me. At first, I thought Ace would say something cruel or reject me. But I was wrong. Not a single word was uttered from his lips in response to my comment. Instead, he turned around and left without saying a word. My legs went limp as soon as Ace was out of sight. Trembling, my body slumped slowly to the cold floor. My tears broke out, and I could not pretend to be as strong as I was whe
~Ace~ "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" One last punch and the punching bag slammed hard into the wall for the second time. My blood was pumping fast. My lungs burned. I forgot how long I've been here, beating the bag with emotion but never being satisfied. I untied the hand wraps from my hands while catching my breath. "This isn't going to work." Something inside me refused to get the image of that damn girl out of my brain. Yes, it was all because of that damn half-breed girl. I couldn't understand. After all this time, why would the Moon Goddess give me such a disgusting fate? Of all the female werewolves in Nightfall City, why did it have to be her? I grabbed a small towel to wipe off my face and neck, covered in sweat. Underneath my breath, I could still feel her scent. Damn it! She was like poison fused with air. Her scent filled my airways, suffocating me so tightly. It felt like it wanted to make me die of lust. "Get my car in gear!" I ordered as I threw a towel at Ben. Benjamin Fost
