Poppy blinked in confusion when she heard what Evander said.What on earth did Evander want to tell them that he looked so distressed?At that moment, Poppy sensed that something was wrong with Evander.So after hearing what Evander said, Poppy and the others decided to sit around the campfire.The temperature was already starting to drop as night approached, so they lit the fire a little earlier than usual.“So what do you want to tell us?” Poppy finally asked Evander again.“It’s not anything serious, is it, Evan?” Lily looked worried, seeing how serious Evander was.“As long as we can do it, we’ll definitely help you, Evan.” Jason a

“Is there someone you know in that crowd of strangers, Evan?” Poppy immediately turned to look at Evander when she heard him mention a name.Evander blinked nervously when he heard Poppy’s words.Lily and Jason, who had also heard it, turned around to look at Evander, who looked nervous.“Yeah, I think I saw someone I know among those people,” Evander finally replied.Feeling that he couldn’t dodge the question, Evander was forced to answer honestly.Actually, Evander didn’t intend to hide this from his friends either.“Should we take a closer look at them?” Poppy suggested to Evander.“You’re right, Poppy. Who knows, it might really b

Poppy woke up when she heard a loud knock on the door; even then, she hadn’t yet realised she wasn’t in her own yard.When Poppy felt movement beside her, she finally woke up with wide eyes.“Oh my gosh, where am I?” Poppy immediately looked around in a panic.Out of the corner of her eye, Poppy saw Charles and only then did she realise what had happened to her.“How could I have forgotten about this…” Poppy gently hit her head.Poppy remembered that she had promised Lily she’d help her and Jason at the kiosk today, so she intended to leave Charles’s house immediately.But just as Poppy walked toward the door, her steps halted when she overheard Charles talking with a visitor.

“How about I help you guys at the kiosk tomorrow?” Poppy said proudly, looking at the stove they had built.“Is that okay, Poppy? Don’t you have to work at the north unit?” Lily tilted her head in confusion.“It’s fine, I’ve already asked for a day off.” Poppy grinned.“Yay! I’m so glad you can join us.” Lily ran over and hugged Poppy.“By the way, hasn’t Evan come back yet?” Jason glanced toward the entrance gate to their yard.Poppy realised this too; she’d actually been waiting for Evander to come home since earlier, but he still hadn’t returned.To be honest, Poppy really wanted to follow Evander to the base’s warehouse, but she was sure he wouldn’t be happy if he saw her comi

Ever since last week’s blizzard devastated part of the base, Poppy had been extremely busy with her work evacuating the injured.However, Poppy realised that with each passing day, Evander was drifting further away from her; she felt a deep sense of loss when she realised this.“I never expected him to distance himself from me this much,” Poppy muttered, lost in thought.Poppy was currently walking home from the northern unit; before heading home, she planned to stop by Jason and Lily’s shop first.But when she realised it, Poppy had to turn back—she’d been so deep in thought that she hadn’t noticed she’d already passed the turn she needed to take.“Oh my god! That damn Evander, I have to find him right away and talk this thr

“What’s going on, Poppy? We’ve only sold five bowls of soup today,” said Lily as she hugged Poppy, a sad look on her face.Poppy fell silent upon hearing Lily’s sadness; she hadn’t expected the stall to turn out this way.Actually, Poppy thought it was normal since this was their first day trying to sell food.“Don’t be discouraged; after all, this is only your first day selling, right?” said Poppy with a wry smile, feeling unsure of her own words.“I think so too,” Evander replied, reluctantly agreeing with Poppy.“You’re right. I guess I should wait and see how things go over the next few days before jumping to conclusions,” Jason replied, beginning to reflect on his two friends’ words.

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
