Gazing at Evelyn's peaceful sleeping face, Raymond felt an odd satisfaction gripping his heart. He never expected to have such a feeling of completion with any woman but his mate, and that made him dreadful of what he was about to do. [Sisyphus,] Raymond took a deep breath before he called for his inner wolf, [is she our mate?] No response. Raymond's heart sank, and he didn't even know why. Sisyphus should have recognized Evelyn as their mate long before this if she really was, he knew, but still, he wanted to ask, and still, he felt disappointed at Sisyphus's answer. What got into him?! [She's not a werewolf,] Sisyphus suddenly grunted, his tone cold as ever. [She's a wolfless,] Raymond explained, [she's still a werewolf--] [She's not!] Sisyphus cut off Raymond impatiently, [Her scent is off!] [Ohh, it's because she was under wolfsbane. That would throw her scent off.] Raymond remembered. Sisyphus huffed grumpily. Sisyphus wasn't like this from the start. There was a time w

"Raymond! How nice to see you, lad!" Alpha Grey opened his arms way up the boarding stairs, and Raymond bowed at him before he walked up and took the overwhelming warm hug. Alpha Grey was around 70 now, and though not wrinkled and round like a 70-year-old human grandpa, he wasn't like how he was in his best days. The reason why he was still an Alpha, was that all his three sons went and established their own packs, all except his flaneur of the youngest son and his only daughter. "Alpha Grey, I'm really grateful for you coming to the grand opening of the school," Raymond put his fist across his chest. "Of course I'm here!" Alpha Grey's laugh was like loud drums, "You have done something for the werewolf community that no one has ever done! I'm honored to be part of it!" The very first werewolf-only school in the world, where werewolves are free to be themselves with no worry and no hiding! "I'm the one who's honored," Raymond walked Alpha Grey to his car, "I wouldn't even be here

Usually Alpha Grey's style of entry would lead to a spread of murmur about why that man intimidated people into silence, but this time even that kind of murmur were nowhere to be found, not because the man was obviously important, but because-- He was obviously pissed. "Dad?" Maya let out a light yelp, and Sarah sneaked behind Noah discreetly. "What's going on here?!" Alpha Grey frowned, glimmering eyes pasted on Sarah, but then he blinked with shock as if not believing his eyes. Though still not know who this man was, some of the people started murmuring, eyes darting to the young man standing beside Alpha Grey -- Raymond followed Alpha Grey in a step's distance, his hands in his pocket. It was hard to tell his mood, but the impact of his existance said a lot about the old man. Obviously, everyone knew who Raymond was. ...Including Maya. Draping an arm on Evelyn's shoulder, Maya nodded at Raymond with an unfriendly look: "Shouldn't you be asking the host why I was welcomed in

"So, according to your story," Raymond laced his fingers, his eyes on Sarah, "Evelyn took Ava here and left Ava to get drunk, in the end, leading Ava to be drugged?""She took Ava here and SHE got Ava drunk!" Sarah corrected Raymond with a disappointed shake of her head at Evelyn, "I hate to say this, but Evelyn has always been jealous of Ava. I worry that she might actually be the one who drugged Ava, and I was hoping you can extend justice for us, Alpha."Raymond curved his lips coldly, but instead of any comment, he just turned to Ava and asked with his eyes looked directed into hers: "I'm gonna give you exactly one chance to speak out the truth."Evelyn rose her eyebrows. She thought she would be the one who had more of a tainted image in Raymond's mind."I asked Evelyn to come to pick me up," Ava said with that timid, scared look, "and I don't know what happened to me...""Did Evelyn take you INTO the club?" Raymond asked directly, and Ava bit her lips."Yes, she did!" Sarah answe

"Theo," Raymond waved Theo over after the Whites left, "seal off the news. What happened here stays here.""Yes, Alpha," Theo bowed lightly before he leaned in for a whisper, "actually, there is more to what happened last night, but I didn't know if I should have--""I know, and I also know it just might ruin Ava," Raymond nodded lightly, "but we don't have any evidence."It looked highly suspicious that Ava left Evelyn out on the stairs on purpose, but Raymond didn't mention it before, partially because--He couldn't figure out Evelyn's attitude toward the Whites. Based on the Whites' behavior, the only explanation for Evelyn's tolerance toward them would be that she still loved that "home", and Raymond didn't want to force her to snap out of the illusion."We just might," Said Theo with a cautious tone, searching for any trace of upset in Raymond's eyes -- after all, Ava was the special girl that Raymond ever slept with, and obviously, Raymond understood Theo's look--Clearing his th
