-Corrine-

I stared and tried to scream, but no sound came out of my throat. Amid the growing pain, I forced both of my legs to move, and I ran away from the Lycan. But this time, he didn’t let me escape. He chased me. I could hear the sound of his footsteps on the leaves and fallen branches.

I kept running until I didn’t know where I was anymore. All I knew was that I was getting farther from the university and deeper into the forest. Then I heard my wolf howling in my head, urging me to stop. Her will was so strong that I couldn’t resist, and I stopped abruptly, turning around.

The Lycan was still with me, stopping far enough to attack me, but I could still see him. My feet felt like they were stuck to the ground, and my eyes couldn’t blink. Lightning flashed above my head again, and the Lycan walked closer. His figure became clearer, and memories of that night, when I first saw him, flashed through my mind.

In my heart, I was sure I knew him. Not because I had met him before, but be

  • I'm Not Supposed To Fall For The Lycan   Decision

    -Corrine-I was grateful to the Moon Goddess because the rain had continued to pour heavily as I assisted Trevor into the car. How he found me, I still did not know. Perhaps my wolf had called out to him. Now that I had officially become a full-fledged werewolf, I could contact any of the pack members through the mind link, including Trevor.I settled Trevor in the passenger seat, then I went to the car’s trunk to get the spare t-shirt that Trevor usually put there. I took the T-shirt into the car. After sitting in the driver’s seat, I put it on.Fortunately, Trevor had taught me how to drive, so then I could take him home to Wesgrove.Midway through the journey, Trevor regained consciousness. But his voice still sounded weak as he inquired about my condition.“Are you okay?” he asked, reaching out to touch my arm.“It wasn’t me you should worry about, Trevor. But yourself,” I replied. My eyes remained fixed on the road.There was a sense of concern that the Lycan might be chasing us.

    -Corrine-What the hell?“I don’t think—““I agree,” Dad interjected. “Someone has to protect Corrine while she’s in Golden Valley.” Then Dad turned to me. “If you want to continue your studies, you have to accept this decision, Corrine. It’s the best path we can offer you.”“What if I refuse?” I asked.“Then there will be no more studies. You have to leave Golden Valley and come back here.”“Training to be a warrior isn’t a bad idea,” Mom added. “You have talent, dear. Like Trevor.”My jaw clenched, and my eyes shot a sharp look at Jerome. How dare he smile at me after the suggestion he made? He knew I hated him, so he did it deliberately.You cannot run from me, Corrine.I jerked at the sound of Jerome’s voice in my head. Then I remembered our minds were connected after my wolf appeared. He could invade my thoughts and say things I didn’t want to hear.I have to learn to block his voice.“Well then,” Jerome said, redirecting his gaze away from me. “We will patrol. Be on the lookout

    -Corrine-My breath caught. My whole body tensed. Yet, I didn’t feel afraid.Instead, I felt a strong pull to approach him, to touch him. Even though I tried to resist that urge, my wolf howled with anguish in my head. Then I felt my muscles stretching and my spine cracking.My wolf forced her way out to take over my body so she could reach her mate.I threw the blanket aside, intending to confront the Lycan. But when the blanket obstructed my view, the Lycan disappeared.I sat at the edge of the bed, blinked my eyes, and then looked around, searching for the presence of the Lycan. He was nowhere to be found.Had I just dreamed it?Then, as if answering my question, my bedroom window swung gently. Raindrops entered and soaked a patch of the bedroom floor.I walked towards the window and opened it, peering out, but found nothing out there except trees and a row of houses.*“I’ll be staying near the campus. Just a ten-minute walk. The location is right across the university complex.” T

    “Okay. Could you repeat our plan?” I said to Eva after she finished getting ready.Eva combed the ends of her wavy hair with her fingers while looking up at the ceiling, perhaps recalling the plan we had laid out yesterday. Then she opened her mouth, took a breath, and said, “Are you sure about this, Corrine?” squinting her eyes and smiling hesitantly.I sighed, reaching out my hands to hold hers. “You like him, don’t you? I could see it in your eyes, and I’m sure Trevor is into you, too!”Eva shook her head. “That’s not what I mean.” She grinned. “Thanks, though.”“I’m just going to visit Andrew’s house for a moment. There’s something important I need to confirm to him. Your job is just to keep an eye on Trevor for me. Make sure you two spend some time together until I get back to the dorms.”While planning this, I just found out that Andrew

    -Corrine-I jerked and completely hid myself behind the trees, but I was pretty sure the man had seen me. My wolf growled, urging me to shift and confront them, but I wasn’t sure if I could defeat them. Who were they, and what were they doing at Andrew’s house? Or did I come to the wrong house?While catching my breath, I tried to think. My best chance was to escape. I could see the main gate from where I stood, but would I be fast enough to run there and avoid getting caught?My mind was overwhelmed by various scenarios until I heard someone’s voice from the direction of the house, loud enough for everyone in the yard to hear. “You forgot something!” shouted a woman’s voice. “Mr. Ashbridge has prepared lunch. Didn’t he ask you all to have lunch here after the meeting?”Then I heard footsteps moving away, accompanied by fading conversation murmurs. I intended to peek to see if those peopl

    -Corrine-I could feel his hot breath burning in my skin. His fingertips caressed every sensitive spot in my body. Slowly yet mercilessly, Andrew lowered my bra strap to mid-arm. Then he slid his fingers under my bra, stopping right below the curve of my bosom.He was torturing me. It was showed in the way he looked at me, and how his lips crooked a teasing smile.“I’m waiting for another question, Corrine,” he said with a low growl.I cleared my throat. Fuck! How could I even ask a single question if he kept sparking and playing with my lust like this??“I—uh—“ As I started to speak, he snapped back into action.He now placed his hand on the top of my breast, caressing the hardened peak with the tip of his finger. I could no longer avoid the breathy moan from escaping my lips. My toes curled when I couldn’t hold back the sensation overflowing within me.“I what, Corr

    -Corrine-I exchanged glances with Eva.Crap. I hadn’t considered the issue of Andrew’s shirt and my wet hair from the rain.Could Trevor smell Andrew’s scent on the shirt I was wearing? Or did his scent linger on me?“It’s my shirt!” exclaimed Eva as she walked to the other side of the chair and faced Trevor. “This is a shirt sold by the university football team. I bought it, and Corrine wanted it, so I lent it to her until she could buy a new one.”I glanced down at the shirt I was wearing. That’s when I realized it was a Golden Valley football team shirt. “Yeah, right,” I said then, nodding firmly. “I borrowed it from Eva.” Then I raised my hand to touch my hair. “And I just took a shower. I needed to clear my mind so I could work on all these assignments.”Trevor fell silent, observing me and Eva in turn.I knew he wasn’t easily convinced, and I could clearly see that now from his expression.My heart was pounding. Its voice sounded loud in my ears, almost deafening me.“You shoul

    What the fuck did this bitch say just now?Giving her virginity to Andrew?I didn’t know why but I felt so furious I wanted to rip her head apart. My wolf growled in my head and I saw red. And thank the Moon Goddess because Eva was there with me and she pressed her hand on my shoulder, snapping me back into reality.“You okay?” she asked.I blinked and slowly dragged my gaze to her. “What?”“You look—“ she glanced toward the girls in front of us, “—angry.”The sound of a whistle made all of us turn to the field. Then I looked at Andrew, who was now observing the candidates along with the coach.I no longer heard the angry growl inside my head. My wolf calmed down again, as did my heart. I didn’t know who was influencing whom, but it was clear that this wasn’t good for both of us.If only Eva hadn’t been with me earlier, I would have surely ended up in jail for killing a girl.“I’m not,” I said, shrugging, trying to act indifferent. “Just a little annoyed.

    -Corrine-The scream froze everyone in place, and together they looked back and forth between me and Andrew.“You cheated!” accused the teenage girl. “You deliberately distracted us by accepting this fight, and then you had your friends create chaos, didn’t you?!”“No!” I yelled. “I would never use such a cheap trick!”“You are cheap!” the girl shrieked.Rage boiled in my chest. I had been holding back, tolerating her insolent attitude, but I couldn’t take it anymore. I dashed to her and slapped her cheek as hard as I could, making her stagger and nearly fall.“Did your parents not teach you any manners?!”I still wanted to hit her again, but a few people ran toward us and separated us before the fight escalated.“That’s enough, Abby!” shouted Harry, who held the teenage girl back. I remembered her now. Abby. She had always disliked me because Jerome paid more attention to me.“We should have killed her!” screamed Abby as she struggled in Harry’s grip. “She only brings trouble to this

    -Corrine-Believe it or not, the first fight was won by me.I had just defeated one of the strongest warriors in Moon Dust. And it wasn’t just me who was surprised; all the pack’s members who were present there were stunned, watching as Sam was thrown to the ground after I landed a fatal blow to his chest.Harry counted to ten, but he didn’t get up.“The first fight is won by Corrine!” he announced, and only Andrew clapped and cheered.“Five minutes break for you, Corrine. After that, you’ll face another candidate,” Harry said then.Sam had returned to his human form—he was still breathing, thank the Moon Goddess—and some people pulled him out of the arena.I walked over to Andrew at the edge of the arena. He unfolded a robe for me, and quickly wrapped it around me the moment I turned back into my human form.“That was awesome, babe,” he praised, grinning.I returned his grin weakly. He told me to sit down, then handed me a bottle of water, which I chugged in one go.“He was a tough o

    -Corrine-Even though I didn’t want it to, the day I dreaded the most finally came.My heart raced faster as the car carrying me entered Moon Dust territory. Harry and the pack members were waiting for me in the front yard of the Alpha’s house. Well, I wouldn’t exactly call it a welcoming party, since no one smiled when they saw me step out of the car. Even Harry looked more tense than I was.“Dad,” I greeted softly, nodding my head. My eyes instinctively darted to his side, and my heart sank with disappointment when I didn’t see my mother there.“Your mom is not feeling well,” my father said. He knew who I was looking for.I pursed my lips and exhaled. I didn’t ask further about her condition because I didn’t want to hear the reason why she was unwell. I’d bet my life it was because of me.“So… who are the challengers?” I asked, scanning the warriors and pack members surrounding me.My father shifted awkwardly. “Most of them wanted to challenge you, but—”I swallowed hard. *Most of t

    -Trevor-“Shit,” was the first word that escaped my lips. The next thing I did after cursing was to push Leana off my body. I got up as quickly as I could and ran out of the arena to chase after Eva.My eyes stayed focused ahead, searching for Eva. I could see her back in the distance. She was half-running down the corridor, heading toward the main mansion building. I quickened my pace and caught up to her.“Ev—” I said after grabbing her wrist and pulling her, forcing her to turn toward me. “Ev, wait. Listen—”Eva yanked her hand away and grasped her wrist with her other hand. Her gaze was vacant as she looked at me, and her lips curved into a bitter smile. “Congratulations, Trevor,” she said, her voice trembling.I spread my arms in confusion, frowning. “Congratulations for what?”“For dating the hottest girl in the alliance.”“We’re not dating,” I denied, my tone too insistent, making it sound like I was hiding something.Eva crossed her arms over her chest and scoffed. “Oh, so you

  • I'm Not Supposed To Fall For The Lycan   That's Not How It Works

    -Andrew-Seeing and hearing Eva say those words to me made me briefly think of Gary. But this wasn’t about some horrible obsession; it was pure desperation.“No,” was the first word I said, a firm rejection that made Eva flinch.“B—but, Andrew… I’d be able to protect myself if I became a lycan like you all.”I shook my head. “That’s not how it works, Ev.”“Andrew—”I pointed sharply at the door, my eyes wide. A flash of guilt hit me as my action startled Eva, but I continued anyway.“You’ve seen how Corrine struggles to live her life as a werewolf, haven’t you, Ev? She was born a shapeshifter, yet that doesn’t automatically mean she’s great at fighting or can protect herself all the time. Becoming like me—like Corrine—won’t magically solve all your problems. You’ll only fall deeper into the dark side of this world.”Eva’s mouth opened and closed, her eyes trembling. She was probably trying to craft a solid argument to counter what I said, but I knew she couldn’t find one.I stood up f

    -Corrine-I had never imagined there would come a day when Leana said something like this that she was proud of me.“It’s… kind of weird,” I said, half laughing. “You, out of all people, said you are proud of me.”“I know, right,” Leana laughed along with me. “But that’s the truth. I wouldn’t say such a thing just to please you. So, go out there, meet your pack, and kick their asses.” And then she added, “If you want, we can do two more training sessions, tonight and tomorrow morning.”My brows shot up. “Really? But… how about your condition?”Leana rolled her shoulders one by one and snapped her head to the left and right. “It’s not like I am paralyzed, Corrine. I just cannot shift for a moment. I still can fight.”I grinned. I didn’t know when, but I gradually loved her spirit and her personality. She was a true badass. “Alright, then. Thanks.”Leana returned my grin. “No problem.”*After we finished talking, we walked back into the mansion and straight to the treatment room. Leana

    -Corrine-Tomorrow night? Had my father lost his mind? Or was he trying to get me killed?“That’s impossible,” I said, feeling anxiety surge within me. “I—I can’t even beat Leana! How could I possibly defeat those fucking warriors from my pack?”“Corrine—”“I—I think it’s better if I just surrender, Andrew.”“Corrine, listen to me—”Andrew tried to reach for me, but I swatted his hand away before he could touch me. Then I walked out of the treatment room.I didn’t know where I was going, and eventually, I ended up sitting in the backyard of the mansion, on the bench I always sat on whenever I felt restless.I buried my face in my hands.What was I even thinking all this time? Trying to show them I was strong? Who was I kidding?I was born a werewolf, sure, but I wasn’t that strong. Defeating Leana and killing Jerome was nothing but pure luck.“Hey.”I jumped and looked up. “You. What are you doing here? Are you feeling better?Leana gave me a brief, lazy smile. “This is nothing,” she

    -Corrine-The deeper we went into this, the more complicated it became.I followed Andrew and Bria down the hallway, to a part of the mansion I had never been to before. There, in a large white room that almost resembled a laboratory, I met several other lycans whose faces I’d only glimpsed in passing before.“Andrew,” greeted a man—he looked to be about Bria’s age—while motioning for Andrew to come closer.Even though Andrew had told me he didn’t want anyone else to know about his family or what we were investigating, that no longer seemed to apply. Not after we had to ask the lycans for help to save Trevor and Leana.I followed Andrew as he approached the man. On the table in front of him were several blue flower petals glowing faintly.“Wolfsbane,” Andrew murmured, studying the petals.“Yeah.” The man nodded.“Larry found something interesting,” Bria said. She joined us, standing near the table and examining the flowers.“What do you get?” Andrew asked.“So, apparently, this flower

    -Andrew-A small door beneath the desk swung open when I pulled the knob. Dust flew out, some clinging to my nose, and I wiped it off.There were books inside. I reached in and took them out, frowning as I examined their brown leather covers. These books looked ancient, with pages yellowed and browned, exuding a strong musty smell.“What do you find?” asked Corrine. She bent slightly from where she stood but didn’t force herself to squeeze under the desk with me.“Books,” I muttered, still inspecting them.I crawled out and placed the books on the desk. Standing up, I put my hands on my hips. Beside me, Corrine leaned in to examine the books as well.She reached out as if to touch one, but then hesitated. Instead, she looked at me and asked, “May I—?”I paused before answering, “Yes.”Only then did Corrine pick up one of the books—the largest of the three—and carefully open it. On the very first page, we saw elegant, looping handwriting, as though written with great care.Personal Not
