Mira managed to stop herself before her body slammed into the wall. She took a deep breath and calmed her erratic heart. It was dangerous just now. Luckily, the force seemed to be less than one she had faced before.
It was a sign that the warlock's power was weakening. Mira's body bent down slightly from the inertia. She looked up, and her pupils constricted.
After a moment, she was back to being expressionless.
"Mirabella Forest, you are such a fool." The voice sounded rough, like dry branches brushed against each other.
Mira said nothing, only coldly observing the person in front of her.
"It's such a pity that you are not dead." Red lines began to appear on Dave's face. He looked horrifying. Half of his face cracked, revealing a rotten wound. The skin on his body was patched in grey, dry color. Those were the effect of those black crystals Mira had thrown on him.
"You are the one asking that girl to buy the black crystals from me." Mira re
The pained expression of the person inside was akin to a needle piercing Mira's heart. After all, he wasn't just anyone. Mira had regarded Arlan as her brother. If Azarias wasn't present, Arlan would be the next person to shield her from rain and storm.Mira's heart trembled slightly. She tried to stand up, looking at the figure in the coffin.Dave was using space magic to conceal Arlan's existence all this time. He brought him out when he realized that things had gone south. Now, the coffin was hovering vertically beside Dave, making sure that Mira could see Arlan's expression clearly.He did it on purpose."Let go of him." Her voice turned hoarse as she faced Dave, who only rolled his eyes."Do you think I am that stupid? Once I let go of him, I will be dead. That demon won't let go of me." Dave pointed at Azarias. "Demons are known as bloodthirsty creatures. Once they set their target, they will follow it until the very end."Dave had pre
Mira felt like her heart stopped for a moment, her mind and body froze as she stared ahead. The sudden explosion was like the cold water pouring down her head, a slap to reality. The dust, branches, soil, and pebbles flying randomly caused it to be hard to see what happened. Mira frantically looked around, searching for Arlan's figure amidst the chaos. Dave's thunderous roar made her heart sink. It was full of fury, and Mira knew well who was the cause of it. He had the hold of Arlan's life in his grasp. The dust hadn't settled, but Mira suddenly had an inkling from the faint connection of the Goddess's blessing. Without caring about the curse inflicting her body, Mira trudged to the source. "Let's go together." Azarias's voice sounded in her ear, and the next moment, the painful feeling from the aftershocks of the explosion was warded off. She numbly stayed in Azarias's embrace until less than a minute later, they arrived at the scene. The wa
The young girl gazed outside the window in a daze. The rain hadn't ended. It had been going on since a few hours ago, making her slightly anxious. A frown marred her beautiful face. The baby fat still hadn't gone, further making her look especially cute. The girl couldn't help from tapping her feet on the ground. "You little brat, what did you just do yesterday?" A voice filled with anger strolled in, causing the girl to nearly jumping from her seat. In a panic, she cursed and tried to hide under the table. The girl slipped in quickly and covered her mouth with a hand. She closed her eyes and held her breath. It was as if the one looking for her could detect her just from the smell of her breath.
"Do you have another schedule after the classes end?"Mirabella --or Mira for short-- sipped on her drink, flipping the page of the book in front of her. When she heard the question, she shook her head. "There's none. The basketball practice is canceled for today."The girl didn't look particularly eye-catching with her current appearance. That was probably because she tied her long jet-black hair into a ponytail and the red hat perching onto her head made her seem a bit boyish."I will wait for you then. We will walk home together." Azarias grinned while stealing a french fry from her table. She looked up, glancing at the piece of the french fry that was about to enter Azarias's mouth with reluctance, yet she did nothing to stop it."You have to buy me food instead," Mira muttered. Azarias chuckled slightly at her reluctant expression and nodded readily. "Alright."Satisfied by Azarias's answer, her face eased up slightly. After a few moments, Mir
Mira looked around, skipping and bouncing as she walked. She was eating candy while her hand played with the ball she had just taken from the basketball field. She was dribbling it nimbly.The time was too early for the students to come. Azarias probably had woken up quite late, so Mira just left a message that she'd go to the college first.The college ground was vast and filled with green scenery. It was not such a wonder since the area was so close to a forest itself. Werewolves sometimes spent their time in nature when they were in wolf form.So, the forest wasn't completely unexplored despite its vast area. It was only right to say that this whole area was practically the territory of the werewolves.Mira had called that dork, Josh to accompany her to play and come to the college sooner, but he refused. From the drowsiness in his tone, he was probably going back to sleep after picking up her call.After some time playing around, she grew
"W-what?" Mira's eyes filled with tears as they fell down her cheeks. Her eyes were full of disbelief as she gazed at the Alpha, Jason with an agonized face."How could you?" Mira's hand reached out to tug at his clothes.Jason frowned, looking at the human girl in front of him in displeasure. He moved away, causing her to almost stumbled in the process."Can you tell me why?" Mira's voice quivered, her eyes gazing at him with such sadness.Jason faltered slightly. The momentary silence hung uncomfortably. However, his eyes suddenly turned cold."You are not worthy."The ruckus between the two had begun to cause some people to look their way. She was so loud that people would soon come to find out what happened.Rejecting one's mate was still a taboo in werewolves' world. It was considered blasphemy against the moon goddess. After all, she was the one who watched over the werewolf race and bestowed them with mates.He wan
Mira nonchalantly entered the cafeteria, instantly attracted quite a little attention. The hat she was usually wearing was absent today, and she didn't tie her hair. The jet-black hair cascaded down her shoulder in a perfect way, complimenting her fair skin and delicate appearance. The round, big eyes made her seem especially cute.Mira's mood was rather good today. She had taken a day off yesterday due to the unbearable pain. Azarias was panicking non-stop that he didn't even let her go to the campus. He brought a lot of snacks to coax her. How could she not feel wonderful? Josh and Arlan had also visited her as soon as their classes were over.Humming to herself, she took a look around and discovered two people she had been looking for. With a grin, she strutted to approach them."Buy your own food," Josh grumbled as he helplessly could only watch as Mira popped the stolen snack into her mouth.Mira didn't say anything, she shifted her attention to Arla
Mira stealthily gazed around, making sure that a certain someone wouldn't stumble upon her. She winced inwardly, the pain in her left leg was throbbing painfully.She leaned against the wall, sighing in resignation. A trace of coldness flashed across her eyes as she thought of something. Then, her expression was back to normal.How annoying, she thought. It had been a month since that Alpha rejected her. Lately, she seemed to have been through a lot kind of problems. She has gotten injured, again.That heart pain from the rejection was hell, that was why she despised that Jason so much. The pain made her weak, and she hated it.But today, she came across yet another misfortune. Her senses failed to detect who the perpetrator was. A person in black which covered his figure from head to toe had pushed her off the stairs.It was only through luck that she managed to balance footing in time, resulting in the sprained foot."Are you alright?" The
