Poppy cleared her throat softly as she sat down by the campfire with Charles and Lily.“Could you please not say anything about what happened earlier?” Poppy whispered to Lily, who was sitting next to her.Lily turned to Poppy with a sharp look.“You need to be more careful, Poppy. Lucky it was me who walked in; what if it had been Evan?” Lily whispered back sharply.“I’m sorry, I guess I got a little carried away,” Poppy replied with a soft chuckle.“Eat up. Jason made extra food just to welcome you,” Lily said, her voice brightening.“Okay.” Poppy smiled happily.They all gathered around the campfire for dinner.

“Just go, Evan, if you just want to embarrass yourself like this,” said Poppy, turning her face away, no longer wanting to look at Evander.“Poppy, listen to me. I don’t want to be at odds with you like this; I just want you and Raven to clear up this misunderstanding,” Evander replied quickly.Evander took Poppy’s hand and stroked it gently, trying to apologize to her.In truth, Evander didn’t have many other options; he didn’t want to lose Poppy.But Evander also couldn’t just ignore Raven because he had made a promise to her.After being separated for so long because of the disaster, Evander was so grateful to see Raven again.And he wasn’t going to let this opportunity slip away.Poppy remained silent, but she didn’t pull away from Evander’s hand holding hers.“So why do you think Raven tried to hurt me earlier?” Poppy finally spoke up again.“That…” Now it was Evander’s turn to fall silent.No matter how hard Evander thought about it, he couldn’t come up with a reason why Raven w

Poppy felt someone push her into the corner of the tent. Her hand bumped into a sharp object, making her wince.“What do you think you’re doing to me?” Poppy shot a sharp glance at Raven.Raven gave a faint smirk, then slowly walked toward Poppy.Poppy watched Raven’s movements warily, staying put without moving a muscle.Poppy wasn’t going to show any weakness in front of that damn bitch.To her surprise, just as Raven approached her, she felt Raven suddenly grab her by the hair.“Awwhh!”“I’m warning you, Poppy. Don’t even think about embarrassing me in front of others, or you’ll face the consequences,” Raven hissed emphatically.

"Are you sure I don’t need to go to the west unit anymore?” Poppy glanced at Charles, who was walking beside her.“I’ve already taken care of your transfer with base headquarters,” Charles replied, gently patting the top of Poppy’s head.“Then, where will I be stationed?” Poppy still didn’t know where she would be working now.“You know about the new survivors who just arrived, right?” Charles cleared his throat softly after speaking.“Of course, I was there when they arrived.” Poppy’s cheeks flushed as she recalled that moment.Poppy scratched her cheek awkwardly, glancing sideways.Charles chuckled softly before continuing.“Well, the base needs someone to take care of those survivors.” Charles finally told Poppy what she was supposed to do.“Ahh, so that’s it,” Poppy replied, nodding her head in understanding.Poppy didn’t really mind it, as long as she could earn Points to stock up on supplies.After all, Poppy needed money to survive in this apocalyptic world.It was just that wh

The sound of something falling could be heard from the backyard.It was loud enough to make everyone in the yard run over to see what had happened.“Raven! Are you okay?” Evander immediately ran toward Raven.Raven was holding one of her hands, her eyes brimming with tears.Not far in front of Raven stood Poppy, looking displeased.“Evan…” Raven’s voice was faint.Not only that, but Raven also leaned her body against Evander, her face full of sadness.“What did you do to Raven, Poppy?” Evander shot a glare at Poppy.“Huh? What do you mean?” Poppy was offended by his accusation.

“Charles? What are you doing here?” Poppy was surprised when she found Charles in front of her yard.“I need to tell you something!” Charles looked anxious as he waited for Poppy there.“Huh?” Poppy didn’t understand why Charles needed her right now.However, seeing that Charles was there, Poppy said goodbye to her two friends before leaving with Charles.Once they were far enough from her front yard, Poppy stopped and turned to look at Charles.“So what do you want to tell me?” Poppy waited patiently.“I need your help with something. The base is short-staffed right now,” Charles replied, still looking flustered.“As long as I can do

Roxanne’s POVI woke up in the middle of the forest, and at that moment, I realized this was my dream. Since I had grown used to strange nightmares, I was no longer surprised when I woke up in unusual places like this.The sound of footsteps echoed in the distance. I turned around, but all I could see was mist, so I slowly walked closer to it.“Where exactly is this?” I whispered softly, seeing nothing of significance here.Suddenly, a gust of wind slapped against my face, forcing me to stumble three steps back.Moments later, shadows of people appeared, chasing one another. Their figures ran right through my body as if I were nothing more than a transparent ghost.My eyes widened in shock when I recog

Roxanne’s POVBecause of Alpha Theodore’s previous order, I had to stay in the pack house for the next week. At first, Alpha Theodore didn’t allow me to leave my room and told me to rest inside.Since I grew too bored being confined there, I often sneaked out. Eventually, Alpha relented and permitted me to spend some time outside of my room.“Xena, why have I been having nightmares more often lately? Do you know anything?” I asked as I lounged on the sofa near the window, gazing out at the flower garden.‘Don’t you usually have nightmares anyway?’ Xena furrowed her brows, confused.“Yes, I do. But this time… it feels different.”My eyes drifted to the bri

Roxanne POVAt first, everything went smoothly, until suddenly a vision pierced into my head. It felt as if I was being pulled into the future.Destruction, that was all I saw. As far as my eyes could reach, there was nothing but blazing fire, devouring everything in its path.Piercing cries echoed, the faint howls of wolves mixing with the roar of the flames that swallowed everything before them. My breath hitched at the sight.The vision only lasted for a few seconds, but my body swayed weakly as I realized what I had just seen.“Roxanne? What’s happening to you?”I heard Theodore’s deep voice at my side, and only then did I realize that my body was already being held up by Alpha Theodore.

Roxanne’s POVHonestly, I was pretty nervous about attending tonight’s event, especially since it was explicitly held to welcome me into this pack. Additionally, I had no idea what would actually happen there.Even though I knew Theodore needed my blood so I could officially join, I had never done anything like this before, and that made me anxious.I twisted the hem of the dress I was wearing, hoping it would ease the nerves fluttering inside me.At last, I heard the sound of a car pulling up outside, and my heart began to pound harder with each beat. Xena, who clearly sensed my nervousness, spoke softly to calm me.‘Roxanne, relax. I’m here with you, so you don’t need to worry.’ Xena whispered gently, soothing my restless heart.“Huff… Please, let me get through tonight.” I closed my eyes, praying silently to the Moon Goddess that nothing bad would happen this evening.Then came the sound of knocking at my door. Slowly, I opened my eyes, exhaled a shaky breath, and rose to my feet.

Roxanne’s POVWhen I went jogging this morning and the sunlight began to shine brightly, I realized that the Gold Dream Pack was truly located right in the middle of the human city. The pack looked so vast, with rows of houses stretching along every block.The cool morning breeze calmed me, easing the weight of the nightmare that had kept me awake last night. Even so, I couldn’t just forget that dream.“I hope it was just a dream,” I murmured, trying to be optimistic, then continued my steps, eager to explore this pack.Along one of the streets, I noticed a café displaying a sign that they were hiring. I realized that I couldn’t rely on Theodore forever. Like it or not, I had to start rebuilding my life.I glanced at the café’s name, trying to memorize it. It looked stylish, a place perfect for young people to gather. Since it was only six in the morning, they weren’t open yet.“Maybe I should come back here later this afternoon. Hopefully, they’ll accept me.” Currently, my top priori

Roxanne POVIt took us about six hours to finally reach Theodore’s pack. I had fallen asleep since it was already late, but then I felt someone touching me, and it instantly jolted me awake.My breath came in short gasps, and I quickly pulled myself back, feeling deeply uncomfortable at the sensation of someone’s hand on me.But when I looked up, I realized it was Theodore. He had only meant to wake me because we had arrived.“Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you. We’re here,” Theodore said as he pulled his hand away from me.I immediately turned toward the car window, and sure enough, we were already in front of a grand house that looked like a luxurious mansion. Because it was night, what caught my attention most was the warm glow of lights around the place.Still half-dazed from waking, I didn’t pay much attention to the details surrounding the mansion. What I did notice was the sound of the cold night wind whistling fiercely through the air.Somehow, I suddenly felt awkward around
