I avoided Sol.Ever since I caught him making out with Gwen at her door, I've felt resentful.It's more of a disappointment and anger that has no clear end. I know I have no right to be angry with Sol.But I still felt extremely angry. Of all the girls at school, why did he have to be with Gwen?As if I wasn't annoyed enough, Sol suddenly became aggressive with me. Unfortunately, we had a lot of the same classes.I tried to keep away from him. Every free period I hid in the school library, the only place where excessive conversation was not allowed.Oh, don't think Sol didn't try to talk to me. He did, but I always found a seat near the librarian. Whenever Sol spoke, the librarian's stern hiss could be heard immediately, telling the boy to shut up."Lei, do you want to walk home together?"I slung my backpack over my shoulder. My look was cold."No, I don't. I'm going home with mom.""I'll ask your mom for permission to bring you home often. We're on the same side." Sol was still adam
We spent the rest of the week feeling uncertain. Sol and I didn't talk to each other. Sol was getting closer to Gwen and making the living barbie grow a big head. And my fan population among the boys at school also grew after I became colder and nastier to them.Dad agreed not to move out of Malibu in a hurry. Since Alabama and Los Angeles were quite far away, he thought it was still safe for us to stay here.However, the feeling of dread didn't go away. Moreover, the elders in the clan had contacted my parents and asked them to look after me.Sergey was still missing. Our werewolf radar couldn't find him anywhere. Foolishly, there was a rumor circulating among the Moon Clan that I had received an inheritance from Sergey in the form of a potential offspring."Asshole." I cursed softly at the memory of that cheap rumor."How could they think I was carrying Sergey's child. Oh, my God. Not in the human world, not in the wolf world, those sly gossipers still exist."I exhaled loudly. Next
How dare she yell at me like a mad dog!My howl increased immediately. My fangs lengthened. My patience, already as thin as a cloth cut in half, vanished.My forelegs scavenged the ground, ready to take a stand. I didn't care if I hurt Gwen. It was a good thing the annoying girl was out of my sight.Within seconds I jumped low towards Sol and Gwen. I deliberately didn't jump high because, well, they were humans.What the hell could a human do when confronted with me?Unfortunately, I was too boastful. I underestimated their abilities.No, not them. It's more like Sol.Just as I was about to reach the top of Gwen's head, Sol's hand suddenly reached out to grab my front leg. I was surprised to feel a strong grip on my ankle, followed by my body floating as Sol spun me around.Oh my God, did I just say she spun me?Damn it! Where did Sol's power come from? An ordinary human shouldn't be able to do this to me.Sol's spin threw me slightly to the side, away from Gwen. My feet landed softly
"Hello, Darling. How are you?"I yawned widely. This damn sleepiness often gets me into trouble. But what could it be, this was the aftereffect of my werewolf mode switching back to human.Being a werewolf isn't always fun. Especially when I can't control the change at will. It was really annoying because every full moon I had to hide and make up various excuses not to be suspected by humans."I miss Alaska." I said honestly.Mom, who was grilling meat, just turned her head. She had a cute smile on her face."Well, Dad misses it too. But we agreed that this year will be mine...""And Mom gets to choose where we live." I yawned again and continued with the words I had memorized.Mom laughed. She turned around while holding a nonstick skillet filled with seasoned roast meat. Mom skillfully placed the food on my plate. I woke up late today. Dad left for work an hour ago. While I'm still lazing around because it's a school holiday."Beef?" I frowned."I'll take it. Our freezer is broken.
"Can I seduce you?"I was stunned. I felt that Sol's question had a hidden meaning. It wasn't as if he was joking. My senses whispered that he was trying to find out."Sol, this is not funny anymore. You're Gwen's boyfriend. Please act like someone else's good boyfriend."I got out of the chair. My late breakfast was not completely finished. But I didn't care.The sooner my business with Sol was over, the better for me.So I motioned for him to come into the living room. It was better to work on our group assignment at my house than to have to go to Sol's. Mom was kind enough to make snacks for us. A minced tuna sandwich to go with the assignment. Fortunately, Sol didn't complain about my stubbornness to work at home.The afternoon was supposed to go smoothly. Until my cell phone rang loudly and Sergey's name flashed across the touch screen.I froze."Lei, your phone is ringing." Sol touched my elbow w
Woah! What's going on?I slapped my cheeks. I felt my neck and face heating up. The next second, I buried my face in the pillow in utter shame.Oh my goodness. What had happened? How could I be kissed by an ordinary human like Sol and overreact like that?Damn it. It wasn't just my face that was heating up. My body heated up as well. How could an ordinary person have so much influence over me?And this is confusing. I'm a Luna for an Alpha named Sergey Moon. I'm his mate. I shouldn't have reacted to Sol.But instead I'm in a rage because of a kiss from Sol. No, not just one kiss. Come to think of it, I actually felt something strange when I first met him."Lei? Are you asleep?"I gasped in surprise. I quickly pulled back the covers and got out of bed. I glanced at the clock on the wall before I went to open the door.Eleven o'clock at night."Hi, Dad." I greeted, pretending to be happy.Dad ask
"Are you happy?"I looked up. My act of pretending to be busy with my laptop was distracted by Mom's question.It was just the two of us at home this morning. After last night's drama with Sol asking me to be his girlfriend, I came home feeling terrible. As a result, I couldn't sleep all night and I had two big dark circles under my eyes."Of course, Mom. I'm happy now." I replied with a big question mark in my head."Are you happy that we are your parents?"I frowned, confused by Mom's strange sounding question."Mom, what's wrong? Why are you asking me that?"Mom seemed to take a long breath. Her movements in our living room stopped.School was out for the day. So I can stay home for a long time. Since I had half kicked Sol out last night, he wasn't coming over now either."How's your relationship with Sergey?""Mom," I protested quietly, "can we not talk about that right now? Our focus is on finding out where Sergey is.""He's home."I blinked and gave a fake smile. "That's good. I
Sergey is standing in our little yard. He was with Dad.Actually, his arrival wasn't all that surprising. Because, well, he's Sergey. With all the recent big events in the clan, his presence here was eagerly awaited.The problem was not with Sergey, but with the object the man was carrying. Sergey was seen holding an arm that was still bleeding.An arm with a large, prominent tattoo.I squinted, trying to get a better look at the shape of the tattoo from where I was standing.It didn't seem difficult. I sighed loudly when I saw the circular pattern with the sun in the center. There were streams of water and leaves framing the sun in an interlocking pattern.The symbol of the Sun Clan."Hello, Lei. I brought you this gift." Sergey handed the piece of arm to me when it was in front of me.I shuddered and quickly backed away so the drops of blood wouldn't hit my feet."Wh-what's going on, Sergey?" I asked frantically.Mom and Dad also shared a look of confusion. I looked at Dad, but he d
