“Hello honey, how are you today?” greeted Nina when I had just entered the class.

“I’m fine,” I said with a shrug.

“Is that true?” Britney confirmed, bringing her face closer. “You cried all night?”

“Not really.” I smiled wryly.

I saw Felix and Giselle chatting together for the second time, passing in front of our class. Felix and I were in different classes. He was 3-2 with Giselle while we were 1-2. I’m bowing my head with worry now. I was afraid that I couldn’t find another mate even though my mom always gave me positive words before I left for school. I just thought that I still wasn’t willing to break the relationship I’d been in two years with Felix. I love that alpha. 

“Look at the bitch from Scarlett Moon. It sucks. If only this wasn’t the school controlled by Scarlett Moon, I’d have made sure she regretted ruining your relationship with Felix,” Britney hissed. 

Nina chimed in on Britney’s hiss while folding both of her hands in front of her chest. “Huh... what are you expecting from Scarlett Moon? Scarlett Moon’s werewolves have a better intensity than the rest of the pack.”

“Scarlett Moon has many great, handsome, and dazzling Alphas. Why isn’t Giselle looking for Alpha in her own pack?” Britney complained. 

Nina clucked. “Have you ever heard that something outside our zone looks so tempting compared to what’s in our zone?”

I ignored their conversation and chose to put my backpack on the table. I could still feel pain, anger, and betrayal when I saw Felix so attentive to Giselle. I don’t understand what makes Felix so attracted to Giselle. Is it because Giselle is a werewolf with beautiful fur? 

Nina looked at me. “Forget about him, Kate. I’m sure you can still attract the attention of another Alpha who is more loyal than Felix.” 

I exhaled so heavily. “I don’t know. I just haven’t been able to forget the memories of the two of us. I don’t know how to forget those memories in such a short period. I love him, Nina.” 

Britney interrupted our conversation, “Why are you thinking of an Alpha who hurt you, huh? You’re young, and you might still be able to find another Alpha. Can we go to the park after school?”

“Good choice, dear Britney. Maybe if we go to the park and take a walk to see the beautiful flowers in the garden, you can forget Felix, Kate.” Nina said. 

I shook my head. “I really don’t want to go anywhere. I just want to sleep after school.” 

“My sweet Kate, come on. We’ll treat you whatever you want. Do you want sweet smoked beef? It’s a sweet pop cycle? Do you want something we don't know?”

I sighed once more. “But....”

“Come on. We’ve both asked permission to accompany you,” Nina mumbled. 

I thought for a second, then nodded. I don’t want to disappoint the two of them.

SOMEONE POV’s 

“Boss, I have a new journal for you,” said a woman with straight hair as she walked into the luxurious room. 

The man sitting on one of the chairs raised his eyebrows, giving a gesture to a man in a black suit to approach the woman. Please pick up a journal that will be his new book. The man in the black suit immediately handed the journal to his Master. 

“I would also say that your parents told you to take care of the observation visit,” mumbled the woman. 

“Should I take care of that?” he asked. 

“Of course, I’m just reminding you of this. The Great Lord wants you to take care of the work or find a mate.”

The man simply exhaled so lazily, leaning his body on the back of the chair. “Get out of my room, don’t bother me.” 

“But, what if Miss Madonna—“

“Get her out. I would rather not see her again. My business with her is done.” 

“Okay, Mr. Gregory,” mumbled the woman. 

The man with the surname Gregory quickly checked his journal, while the man with the black after could only sigh and stood beside him intently. A few minutes later, he just took a deep breath. 

“Mr. Gregory, I think people are right,” said the man in the black suit.

“About what, Judith?” asked the handsome man.

“About you, sir. You are too cold and stiff. Maybe that’s what makes it difficult for you to find Mate,” said the man named Judith.

“What’s wrong with me, Judith?” asked the handsome man a second time. 

“You should be sweeter to everyone you are. I know you are such a handsome and authoritative Alpha, but, there’s no harm in not interacting with the others?”

“I’ve had enough of Madonna,” said the man with Gregory’s surname. 

“Sir, don’t you feel sorry if your mate somewhere is in pain?” asked Judith. 

“Hm... Can you give me some advice? Should I go to that school? I didn’t intend to meet those brat kids.” 

“That’s your job, sir. I thought you should attend that school. After all, you can’t possibly give this task to your little brother because he will definitely take care of his own activities,” Judith replied. 

“Well, that sounds so ironic. I have to see them again.” The handsome man stood up and asked that Judith prepare the car. He would get out of his room and go to find some fresh air out there. 

“Don’t let Madonna come back here, or I’ll punish you,” Gregory grumbled. 

“Well, Mr. Gregory. What about the planned visit to school?” asked Judith once again. 

“Don’t ask me. I don’t want to talk about it.”
