Lei inhaled deeply, filling her lungs with the abundant oxygen intake of the rural region she lived in. Her eyes closed, savoring the serenity that reminded him of Alaska. "Getting better?"Lei turned her head. Behind him, Sol walked over, carrying two mugs of hot drinks."It's not too bad." Lei smiled. She accepted the cups offered by Sol. Her eyes returned to the rice fields in front of him."I apologize. I was too harsh when I dueled with you last night."Lei only smiled slightly. Last night, Sol had helped her practice martial arts while awakening Lupanar's magic. The two of them dueled in werewolf form.If it hadn't been for Sol, the girl might have fallen unconscious and woken up hating the man next to her. But this was Sol. The handsome werewolf who had managed to arouse Lei's interest."It's okay. My wound is healed too. No problem." Lei sipped her drink.Warm chocolate, soothing to the stomach, drunk with the man who made Lei's heart pound. The girl's lips never stopped sho
What's so attractive about a nerdy girl with geeky looks and thick glasses?Nothing!That's how it should be. But people in this school treat me like a goddess of heaven.Correction, not everyone. Just a select few guys who unluckily make up two-thirds of the male student population in this school.As a result, this nerd with an ugly appearance and thick glasses framing her eyes was forced to accept the fact that her enemies were multiplying."Hello, dear. How's school?"I groaned in frustration. Mom, who picked me up this afternoon, asked the question in an annoyingly cheerful tone."It makes me sick," I replied curtly."Oh yeah? It's been three months since you transferred to this school. You shouldn't have any friends, right?"I rolled my eyes. This was our epic conversation this afternoon.While other parents were vying to encourage their children to have lots of friends, my parents were advising me to keep my distance from others and not have frequent contact with humans.This is
Okay, this isn't right.How could I fall into the arms of such a handsome man!That's right! He's really, really handsome!Oh, my God. I can't breathe!"Hey, are you okay?" He repeated his question again.I tried to stand up straight. Damn. The legs were as soft as jelly.Instead of being able to tread properly on the sidewalk, I staggered forward and almost fell. That's when this handsome guy pulled me back into his arms.God, I can't face this attack of handsomeness twice.But... wait a minute! Since when did a werewolf like me recognize God?"It looks like you're okay. Do you need me to carry you to your house?"I shook my head. My face felt hot. I quickly let go of his embrace and stood at a distance.This time I managed to stand up straight. My gaze was glued to the man who was right beside the trash can.He was tall and slim. He reached at least 190 centimeters, very tal
My mom and I ran as fast as we could. We took the car and drove to the beach."Damn it. Where's the beach my future son-in-law is going to?"I glared in annoyance. How could Mom use that term in such a critical situation?"There are many beaches. I was attacked at Leo Carillo. Is it possible the boy went there too?"I closed my eyes and tried to concentrate. Unfortunately, my ability as a half-werewolf could not sense where Sol was."Ah, is that Sol?"I opened my eyes. We had just crossed the beach of El Matador. My eyes blinked as I saw a familiar figure laughing with two men and a woman.I wanted to jump for joy. At least they were s
Who was the werewolf yesterday?The question kept running through my head. Two days had passed since the incident with the two foreign werewolves on Leo Carillo beach.Mom and I were lucky because at the crucial moment a savior came. Another werewolf with an equally large body, brown fur with snow-white patches, and dark gray eyes that glinted softly.I don't remember anything wrong. Those eyes were indeed softly glowing instead of sharp like a typical werewolf. Even more astonishing was that he managed to kill two of our attackers in just one hard chop.That werewolf was really strong.Annoyingly, after saving us, the werewolf just ran away. He did help us kill the attackers, but he didn't have to leave the job of cleaning up the mess to me and Mom, did he?So that night we had to drown two of the werewolf's bodies in the sea. For Mom who was injured and me who was in human mode, carrying two large werewolves was certainly very draining."Lei, have you done Professor Thomas' essay?"
The girls just left me after being satisfied with slapping and humiliating me in front of many people. I adjusted my sagging glasses. With my chin held high, I walked out of the corridor towards the backyard of the school. Paying no attention to the curious stares of the other students.In the end, I skipped class.Yes!My mood was completely ruined. Being half-human turned out to require great sacrifice. Instead of turning back to class, I jumped over the school fence after covering the CCTV with a tissue.The full moon was still five days away. However, my body was already broken. The aches and pains typical of my werewolf body were starting to take over. Add to that the bullying by the girls at school, and my mood had dropped dramatically.Malibu offers no safe hiding place for an abnormal creature like me. It was different from Alaska, which was full of trees and lacked humans. I had to settle for walking along the sidewalk in the hot summer sun."Hi, Lei."I almost tripped over m
Damn, his dark aura is so strong.I took two steps back. My smile was obviously fake. Desperately trying to cover my head was futile. Sergey was very adept at pulling back the curtain in my head and could easily read my thoughts."Sol?" The man asked in an icy tone.I swallowed. This was what I didn't like about Sergey. While many other werewolves in the clan adored him, to me Sergey was more like a monster in a very handsome human form.If I had to choose, I wouldn't want to meet him at all. Oops, stop my stupid brain! Don't think and talk too much! Sergey would know what's going on in your head!"Who is he?"Sergey's cold tone made me shrink. I was getting uncomfortable standing on the sidewalk like this. Damn it, there was no one near me.And why didn't Sol follow me earlier? God, I didn't know whether it was best to walk alone or to get caught with Sol."He's my new neighbor." I replied in a frightened squeaking tone.Sergey walked over. I swore under my breath as my back hit the
I looked up. My stomach twisted in horror when I saw who was standing next to me."Wah. Wow. Looks like you skipped school for a romantic lunch date."I swallowed. The last thing I wanted right now was to be caught alone with Sergey by my classmates.Standing next to me was the popular queen of the school and the drama queen who loved to bully people. The bullying I experienced today was nothing compared to what Gwen was doing to the whole school.The name of this crazy bully is Gwen Simpson. Her profile is perfect. She's a real-life Barbie.Slim. Tall. Blonde. Blue eyes. Big chest. Small waist. And an insignificant amount of fat on her body.That's Gwen. The girl who likes to change boyfriends, but dislikes me the most, because she thinks I always get the attention of the boys at school."Ops, sorry to interrupt your date." I said nothing. Of course, Gwen's apology was far from sincere. I knew that.Since the second day of school, after half a dozen popular boys who saw me in the ca
