The Worst Prom Night Ever

-Corrine-

“Let’s break up.”

The bass of the EDM music thumps through the speakers. Its voice was so booming I wasn’t sure what Daniel Harris, my boyfriend, was saying.

I frowned while giving him an awkward grin. “What did you say, babe?!” I asked, half shouting.

Daniel didn’t smile with me. His expression was so serious that I felt stupid with my attitude. His nostrils flared for a moment before he snorted. “Let’s break up, Corrine Harmon!”

Daniel shouted so loudly, together with a pause of silence before the music changed.

Everyone at the prom tonight turned to glare at us and I felt heat radiate from my neck, and spread to the veins in my face.

“What?” My voice was squeaky like I was choking. I was still trying to laugh and thought Daniel was just joking. I took his arm and wrapped mine around it, then laughed as I pulled him off the dance floor.

My friends were still following me and Daniel with their gaze until the music started again and they got distracted.

Now we’re standing in a dark corner of the hall and Daniel jerks his hand away, begging me to let go.

He straightened his wrinkled sleeves as he stood with his back to me. That’s when I realized he wasn’t kidding.

“Babe?” call me carefully. “Did I do you wrong? I—I will do anything—“

He turned around. Our eyes met, and he stared at me. “Yes, you did,” he hissed through gritted teeth.

“Wh—what did I do?” I clenched my hands beside my body. My heart was pounding waiting for his answer while remembering the time we spent together the past few weeks.

There’s nothing wrong, I thought. I gladly gave up my virginity when he asked for it last month. And I was happy to pay for his car’s modifications when he complained about the lack of money for it.

“You love me too much,” Daniel said. “I’m sick of your attitude towards me.”

Cheers rang from the center of the hall and I looked over my shoulder to see what was happening. One of the alumni was singing while undressing and showing off his six-pack abs.

When I looked back at Daniel, he was busy on his phone, and I was waiting.

“Daniel,” I called, when he still didn’t put his phone in his shirt pocket and instead laughed while looking at the screen. “Daniel, look at me.”

Daniel looked up, and the laugh disappeared from his face. “What?” he asked curtly. “Am I not clear enough?”

“B—but… we’ve been together for a year and I even chose the same major as you at the university—”

“I didn’t ask for it,” Daniel cut me off. “I’m not your husband. Why are you following me around? Your presence only bothers me.”

I was stunned by his words.

All this time, he always said he loved me and he could not imagine his life without me. Daniel is the sweetest boyfriend I ever had and suddenly he changed, right on our graduation night.

Or maybe I just didn’t notice all along. What is wrong with us?

“Now, get out of my sight. I’m sick of seeing you.” After saying that, Daniel just walked away from my presence.

I froze in place for a moment until the laughter from a group of girls passing by made me flinch and I blinked. Unnoticed, tears streamed down my cheeks.

I rubbed it with the back of my hand while half running out of the hall. I don’t want anyone to see me like this after we got the award as the most romantic senior year couple just half an hour ago.

I passed through a side door, choking on sobs that kept my chest tight. The passage at the side of the hall led me to a garden bordering the woods.

There was no one here, and I immediately spat out my tears, even though I didn’t scream. I just sob. My lungs and throat ache, and my vision is blurry. I squatted down and buried my face into my turquoise mermaid dress. I’ve been preparing this dress since three months ago, imagining spending a beautiful and hot prom night with Daniel.

Tonight was hot for me, but it was all because of the tears and hurt, not because of what I hoped would happen.

The prom was still going on in there, but my spirits were completely gone. All I want now is to go home and let out my cry to my heart’s content in my room.

I reached into my purse and grabbed my cell phone, dialed up my older brother, Trevor, and texted him.

Pick me up. Now.

The reply came shortly after.

What happened to Daniel? Is he drunk on Kool-aid?

I laughed in the middle of my tears when I read the reply message from Trevor. I typed quickly and sent a reply.

No. I’ll tell you when we meet.

Looks like Trevor knows what’s going on. He doesn’t reply to my message but calls me right away.

“Hey,” I greeted. My voice was hoarse from the rest of the crying, and I blew my nose to clear my breath.

“Are you crying?” he asked. “What happened? What did that bastard do to you?”

“He dumped me,” I said. It’s weird to say that and feel nothing. It was as if my heart had gone numb.

“I knew it. He’s just toying with you,” Trevor said. I can hear the anger in his voice and I feel happy knowing someone in my corner now. Trevor is the best brother in the world. “I’m not at home right now. I’ll pick you up, but you have to wait at least five minutes. Can you?”

Five minutes doesn’t seem like a long time. “‘Kay,” I replied. “I’ll be waiting for you at the front gate.”

“Don’t,” said Trevor. “Wait around the hall, where there are lots of people. I don’t want anything to happen to you.”

I rolled my eyes. This is Trevor’s shortcoming. He loves me too much to always worry about me in every situation. He had repeatedly imagined a scenario where I was in danger and he couldn’t save me.

We’re both werewolves, though.

Well, even though I haven’t gone through my first shift yet, my nineteenth birthday is still a month away, but I’m sure I’ll be just as tough a werewolf as Trevor.

“Fine,” I said. It’s useless to argue with him, so I’ll act like I’m doing his bidding.

Trevor sighed and said, “Don’t lie. Wait till I come.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

After that, I ended the call.

It seemed the music in the hall had changed to a slower tempo, which was usually used for pair dancing. My heart is tight again.

I stood up, put my phone in my party bag, then wiped the remaining tears from my cheeks.

As I was deciding where to wait for Trevor, I heard something.

A rustling sound from the woods outside the school fence.

As a werewolf, I can hear it clearly. Footsteps run between the dry leaves and twigs piled on the ground. Even though my wolf hasn’t appeared yet, I already have keen hearing and sight beyond an ordinary human.

I turned toward the woods and squinted.

Then I smelled something in the air. A scent so strong that it makes me freeze. And shortly after, I heard a howl of pain, just a moment, but enough to make me sure something was wrong.

I clutched my bag, ready to open it to grab my phone when something jumped over the fence between the school and the woods.

It landed right in front of me, and I thought I was seeing a werewolf.

But no. it’s not a werewolf like I’ve always known.

He stood on his two feet. And blood was smeared on his snout and his silver-feathered, clawed hands.

I can’t scream. I could only stand transfixed while my eyes locked on his eyes which were as dark as the night sky.

Then there was cheering from inside the building and I jumped. I looked back and when I turned my head against him again; he was gone.

“Shit,” I cursed. My legs trembled, and I fell to my knees while staring at the woods, waiting for the hideous figure to reappear and pounce on me. But there was nobody there. He has disappeared.

With my heart racing wildly, at that point I’m sure the thump could crack my ribs, I drag my ass and get away from that place. After I regained my strength, I stood up and ran to the front hall.

“Ouch!”

I bumped into my best friend, Kasey. The drink she was holding spilled and stained her dress.

“Kasey!” I shrieked. “I’m so sorry!”

I thought Kasey would laugh and say it wasn’t a big deal. But I didn’t expect her to stare at me and splash the rest of the drink in her glass onto my dress. The sweet, sticky liquid stained the bust of my dress, leaving a trail of red and a fruity smell.

“Kasey?” I frowned at her, disbelieving the way she looked at me.

“You did it on purpose, did you?” Kasey hissed. Everyone around us fell silent.

“What?” I was shocked to hear her accusations against me. “What are you saying? I’m not-“

“I heard Daniel dumped you,” she snapped. “Congratulations.”

“Are you drunk?” I narrowed my eyes suspiciously at her. “What is wrong with you?”

Our friendship has not been good enough lately and actually, I don’t know what caused it. But I always thought that we would make up like we used to.

I never thought that Kasey intended to end her friendship like this.

“This is an expensive dress,” Kasey scolded me. “You can’t compare this with your cheap dress.”

I could only gape at her.

Car headlights fell on the two of us and I heard the familiar roar of a car engine pull into the courtyard at the front of the hall. It’s Trevor. I’m happy because he came sooner than he promised.

Waiting no longer, I ran up to him and jumped into the passenger seat, and slammed the door.

“Hey, slow down,” Trevor said. “The car door might fall off.”

“C’mon,” I said, holding back tears. “Quickly, get out of here.”

I’m glad Trevor didn’t ask any further and stepped on the gas pedal, taking me away from the most horrific prom night of my life.

“Actually, I was going to call you earlier,” Trevor said as the car rolled out of the school.

“Huh? Why?” I asked, half lost in thought. I stared out the window, watching the dark woods flashing before my eyes. Maybe that figure will appear again….

“Something killed our pack’s member.”

My heart sank at Trevor’s words. I widened my eyes and turned my gaze to him. “Something?” I asked, choking.

A figure flashed behind my eyes. Blood on the snout and claws.

“Yeah.” Trevor drummed his fingers on the steering wheel. I just noticed that he looked nervous.

“Something like what?”

Trevor glanced at me. His lips pulled into a thin, pale line. “A Lycan.”

    -Corrine- I really hoped last night was just a dream.But when I woke up this morning, my eyes and throat ached, proof that I cried a lot last night.“Corrine, wake up!” My mom knocked on my bedroom door and tried to open it, but I locked it last night in case someone came in and saw me cry.“I heard it from your brother! He dumped you, that bastard!” This time it was my father who spoke, and I rolled my eyes, then pulled the pillow up to cover my face and I groaned.One more lack of Trevor. He couldn’t keep secrets from Mom and Dad.“We won’t stop pounding on this door until you answer our call, Miss!” my mother nagged. She always found a way to get me out of my room.“Okay, okay!

    -Corrine- Trevor unloaded my luggage from the trunk of his car and then caught up with me beside the car. I looked up at the four-story high red brick building that will be my home for the next few years. I officially started my life as a student at Golden Valley University.“You know, your college isn’t that far from Wesgrove,” Trevor said. “I can drop you off and pick you up every day—”I glanced sharply at my brother. “Stop it,” I grumbled. “The distance isn’t the only reason I moved here. You know it better than anyone.”“Jerome will change his mind once he meets his mate. I’m sure about it.”“Yeah, and neither of us knows when he’ll meet his mate, or if he’ll ever meet her someday,” I replied. “And as long as that doesn’t happen, he will continue to chase me.”Trevor looked at me for a moment, then sighed. “I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you.”My heart melted in an instant.

    -Corrine- He was her older brother?What?I looked at Eva and Andrew in turn. They didn’t look alike at all. And one of the most striking things was that Andrew was clearly a werewolf and Eva was just a human.“Should I give special treatment to people who never even come home to meet his family?” Eva replied.She folded her arms across her chest and lifted her chin, showing defiance towards her brother.I wanted to pull Eva away from Andrew because I was afraid Andrew would do something terrible to her. Because he seemed to have a penchant for violence.Andrew raised a hand and extended it towards Eva. And I, who had been standing in an alert position, quickly grabbed Eva’s hand and pulled her towards me. Eva was so surprised that she jerked the air from her lips while Andrew’s hand hung in the air and he glanced at me, then he smiled crookedly.“What do you think I will do to my sister? Hmm?” he asked me.I glared in panic. I didn’t think my actions would attract his attention.“Uh—

    -Corrine-Since that day, I can’t get Andrew out of my mind. But I haven’t seen him since the party at the sorority house and judging by the way Eva talked about him, they didn’t get along well. They’re not like me and Trevor. So it is very unlikely that I will meet him again.Even though Andrew asked me to return his jacket, but I couldn’t find a way to return it. I didn’t want to ask Eva for help because, well, she definitely didn’t like it, and to be honest, I wanted to see him again. I know I shouldn’t, but I can’t just ignore him. The jacket is now stored neatly in my closet after I washed it.“You also have an older brother, right? Is he as annoying as Andrew?” asked Eva, after we finished our morning class. We continued our talk from last night when we couldn’t sleep and started talking about each other’s families.We walked towards Houghton Commons, the building where students gather for lunch. It is about a five minutes walk from the lecture building. I enjoyed every little t

He must have known my identity as well as I knew his.“I could ask you the same thing,” I said.Andrew smirked. “Smart girl.” Then he leaned in towards me and looked at me closely. “You know? I like smart girls.”I returned his smile, putting on my best arrogant face, and said, “Too bad. I’m not into bad boys.”He pulled back and leaned against the sofa, the smile still on his face. His reaction made me feel embarrassed. I had hoped he would be upset, but it was the opposite.“Are you Eva’s roommate?” he asked later.I thought for a moment, considering whether to give an honest answer or lie to him. Then I decided that providing information like that was not dangerous, and hopefully, Eva wouldn’t be angry with me for it.“Yes,” I replied. I glanced towards the restroom. There was no sign of Eva yet. “Seems like she hates you,” I said bluntly.I was quite surprised when I saw Andrew’s eyes change to sadness, even if it was only for a moment. H

I blinked and turned towards him, then returned his smile. “Busted,” I murmured.“The lecture’s over.” Gary nodded towards the front, letting me know that the professor had left the classroom.“Oh...” It took me a few seconds to realize what I should do. Gather my books and stationery. “Oh!” I exclaimed.I bent down to grab my bag from under the desk and placed it on my lap. My movements paused when I saw what was inside.Andrew’s jacket.Yeah, call me a pervert. I have been carrying that jacket for the past week. Ever since I met him at Houghton Commons, I thought I would meet him again. Maybe he would show up at the same place, or he could suddenly appear in front of my dorm room.Who knows?“Nice jacket,” Gary said, peeking into my open bag.Reflexively, I closed the bag and grimaced at him. “Not mine,” I muttered.Gary withdrew and gazed at me.

I turned around, slinging my bag over one shoulder, and pointed at him. “You made me skip class.”Andrew cracked a smile. “Between you and me, who dragged someone and took them out of the classroom?” After that, he perfectly arched one eyebrow.Hearing the word “drag” made me realize that I had still been holding onto his arm. I quickly let go and clasped my hands together.“What do you want?” I asked, turning my face away."Haven't I already told you?" Andrew tilted his head. That annoyingly sexy little smile appeared again. "You.""And what exactly do you want from me?" I pressed."I want to spend time with you.""First things first," I shot back. "If you're trying to seduce me, you’re really suck at it.""There's no harm in trying," he shrugged. His expression showed that he found my behavior amusing, and I felt like a helpless child in front of him.I glared at him, telling him to shut his mouth, and continued speaking. "

    -Corrine-The rackety sound of a game center welcomed us as we entered that place.“First time?!” Andrew half shouted to overcome the surrounding noise.I looked up at him and shook my head. “No!”I didn’t want to go into details about my experience at the game center. First, because places like this brought unpleasant memories for me. Daniel used to take me to the game center in Wesgrove when we were still dating. Second, because I was a terrible player at games like these.Daniel would often mock and scold me every time I made a mistake and suffered defeat. Looking back, I should have realized how repulsive his attitude was. But love did make people blind sometimes.I was lost in my thoughts about Daniel, staring blankly at the row of games when Andrew bent down towards me and whispered in my ear.“Wanna get out of here?”His deep and sexy voice made me stumble. I turned and almost kissed his lips. Our faces were only about an inch apart.I lingered, gazing into his dark blue eyes.

He reached out, silently urging me to come closer.It was difficult to step into the battle arena while wearing a dress and holding a bouquet of roses. When I finally managed to stand before Andrew, I realized he was dressed in a black suit with a matching black shirt.“Did you just come from a funeral?” I asked, frowning.Andrew laughed. “Do I look that miserable? Would you prefer me to wear nothing at all?”My face heated instantly. “What is this? You scared me.”Andrew reached for my free hand, intertwining his pinky finger with mine.“I love you, Corrine,” he said.I blinked, feeling both flustered and confused. “Yeah… I know.” I had no idea what to say. My response made him chuckle.“I love your confidence and your determination, how you never give up, no matter how many obstacles stand in

    -Corrine-After talking with my family and Andrew, and after much contemplation, I decided to take a break from college. Everything that had happened left me falling behind, and I couldn’t catch up—not right now.There wasn’t much I did during my time off. I studied to make up for what I had missed and reviewed my lessons. Other than that, I spent my time training with Leana. Day by day, my fighting skills improved—but so did Leana’s. So I wasn’t sure when I would actually surpass her. Maybe someday.Everything was normal—almost boring, even—until one morning when I woke up and found that Andrew was no longer beside me.I reached out across the bed and opened my eyes to an unusual emptiness. Normally, Andrew never left before I woke up. He would always hold me and say good morning.But this time, he wasn’t there.“Andrew?” I turned toward the window, then sat up and scanned the room.The bathroom door was open, and there was no sound from inside—which meant Andrew wasn’t there.Did so

We never really talked after my father passed away.“Andrew?”I was just about to knock when Rebecca opened the door. We were both surprised, but she looked more shocked than I was.“Hey.” I gave a small smile and handed her the flowers.“For me?” Rebecca looked confused as she took them.I nodded, then observed her appearance. “Are you going somewhere?”“Yes—” She glanced down at her outfit. “Yes!” she answered again, a little louder. “I’m meeting a friend.” Then she looked past me, toward the driveway, as if expecting someone to arrive.“So… what brings you here?” Rebecca threw an awkward smile. Even though she tried to hide it, I could tell she was uneasy—like my visit was the last thing she wanted.“I want to talk to you.”“About what?”“Father.”Rebecca fell silent. “Andrew,” she began

Eva would be the one most hurt if they stayed together and then, one day, Trevor met his mate.Even though I hated seeing Eva sad, this was the best thing for her.“So, do you plan on looking for your mate?” I asked as we drove to Moon Dust for a dinner invitation from our parents. It was a shame Andrew couldn’t join us—he had some family business to take care of.“Not for now.” Trevor shrugged. “I’m enjoying my time alone.” Then he glanced at me. “And I want to spend more time with you, you know. After everything that happened, we barely hang out anymore.”“Yeah.” I nodded in agreement. “You also promised to train me so I could beat Leana.”“Hey, I never promised that,” he argued, “beating Leana, I mean.”“You, too?”“What?”“Because Andrew said the same thing when I asked him to train me to defeat Leana.”“She’s an incredible fighter

    -Trevor-I thought I would be able to breathe for a moment and ignore this whole love triangle problem. But these two girls gave me no choice but to keep thinking about it.Honestly, I wasn’t really interested when Corrine invited the four of us to spend the night out somewhere. But since I was a good big brother and wanted to see my sister happy, I agreed.I deliberately took the wheel to avoid Eva and Leana, but the Moon Goddess knew I couldn’t avoid them forever.As soon as we got out of the car and walked toward the race area, Eva and Leana immediately trapped me between them. Corrine often said I was dense, so I tried to break the awkwardness with a joke—but not a single one of them laughed.It seemed I had made the wrong move.“Look at them, flirting and all,” Leana grumbled as she watched Corrine and Andrew walking ahead of us. “Life must be so great when you’ve already found your mate.”“I heard you used to like Andrew?” The question slipped out of my mouth before I even had t

With both hands tucked into my pants pockets, I looked at Dad, Mom, and Trevor. “Let the pack know that I’m stepping down, and they can fight among themselves to determine the next Alpha.”Andrew placed a hand on my shoulder, making me turn to him. “Are you sure?” His voice was gentle, without any concern or disapproval. He truly just wanted to know if I was certain about my decision.I smiled at him and nodded. “Yes.” Then, I turned back to my family. “After everything that’s happened, I just want to live a peaceful life. At least until I graduate from college—” I briefly glanced at the campus building. “—and if you’ll have me,

We chose a quiet spot outside, near a large shady tree. The weather was quite windy today, so most people preferred to sit indoors.I pulled my jacket tighter around me and waited, occasionally glancing toward the entrance.“You seem nervous,” Andrew said. I turned to him and frowned, trying to see his eyes behind the sunglasses he was wearing.“Are you not?”“Why should I be? She’s your mother, not mine.”“Right. But she’s going to talk to us, not just me. You still remember how much she hated you—so much that she even worked with Jerome to—”The distant

I closed my eyes and took in the scent of his shampoo lingering in his messy hair. “Did you finish your business yesterday?”Last night, after dropping me off at the mansion, Andrew had left to return to the forest. He wanted to make sure everything was truly settled, including mobilizing the lycans to search for Gary’s body. Andrew wanted to see wit

As much as I was relieved that he had found me, we were still in danger.Andrew’s hand gripped my ankle tightly. He was using all his strength to pull me up. There was nothing I could do except stay still and let him try to save me.Relief washed over me like cold water, bringing down my adrenaline as Andrew successfully pulled me to safety. He immediately hugged me, repeatedly calling my name.“I’m sorry, Corrine. I’m sorry, baby, I’m late.” His face was buried in my hair, and his lips pressed kisses against my ear and cheek.With trembling hands, I cupped his face and looked into his eyes. “You’re not late.” I smiled weakly. “You saved me.”We stared at each other in silence for a few moments before both of us burst into laughter. Laughter that born from the lingering fear of facing death and the joy of having survived it.“I
