“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.

“Have you guys heard the news?” Poppy was a little surprised to learn that her friends in the northern unit had already heard about what happened to Irene.“Everyone in the northern unit already knows about it,” Stella replied in a whisper.“You’re late to the party, the others were in an uproar when they were arrested by base security,” Clara chimed in from the other side of Poppy.Poppy grimaced at her two new friends’ remarks; she hadn’t expected them to be so worked up over Samantha’s case.After all, Poppy had only intended to teach them a little lesson, but it turned out everyone at the base already knew about it.“I saw it right on their page,” Poppy replied, grimacing.“Re

“Do you have a problem with what I’m doing?” Poppy remained standing on the opposite side from Evander.“You shouldn’t have gone this far, Poppy! You even went so far as to trap them like this,” Evander said, shaking his head, his gaze lowering as he looked at Poppy.“They deserve it, Evan! Have you forgotten what they’ve done to me all this time? How many times have I nearly died because of their actions?” Poppy could no longer hold back the emotions welling up inside her.“But… You didn’t have to go this far, Poppy.” Evander let out a harsh sigh, his head hanging limply.“Then what am I supposed to do? Just stay silent while they plot my death?” Poppy’s voice began to tremble as she vented her feelings.“That’s not what I m

“The base is arresting people? What’s going on, sis?!” Lily panicked when she heard what Jason said.Meanwhile, Poppy, who heard this, grinned to herself; she had been waiting for this news for a while.That’s why Poppy had been up since early morning—she wanted to hear the news firsthand when the base received the anonymous letter she had sent.But Poppy didn’t want Jason or Lily to know what she had done to Samantha and her group, so she had to look just as shocked and panicked as they were.“Oh my God! What’s really going on? Take me there, Jason!” Poppy hurried over toward Jason.“Come with me, quick!” Jason innocently urged Poppy to follow him.So the three of them went toget

“It’s me,” someone whispered from behind Poppy.Poppy, who had just been about to scream and break free from the man’s grip, stopped immediately.That’s because Poppy recognised the voice—in fact, she was very familiar with it.“Evander? “What are you doing here?” Poppy furrowed her brow in confusion upon seeing Evander there.“You’re really reckless. What if they catch you?!” Evander held himself back from yelling at Poppy.“That’s exactly what I was going to say to you!” Poppy wouldn’t back down and shook off Evander’s arm, which was gripping her hand.Poppy intended to walk away from there since her business in Samantha’s yard was finished.

“Thank goodness! He didn’t notice,” said Poppy, her face pale.Poppy hurried away from the storage facility, her heart still racing after that nerve-wracking ordeal.From her pants pocket, Poppy pulled out a magic rune she had deliberately stolen from the storage facility.Of course, Poppy had taken advantage of Kael, who had willingly taken her inside to explore the storage facility.And Poppy hadn’t expected Kael to be so easily tempted. She’d managed to get her hands on a high-quality item to steal.“Now it’s my turn to get back at them,” Poppy said with a faint smirk on her face.Poppy then made her way toward Samantha’s yard; she had to find the right moment to sneak inside.Just like before, Poppy hid in the empty yard across from Samantha and her friends’ yard.“I knew they’d only send Irene and Kevin. It’ll be hard for me to sneak in there,” Poppy said as she monitored the situation in Samantha’s yard from a distance through her binoculars.“System, what do you think—if I snea

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
