My eyes flew wide open all of a sudden, my heart began to palpitate, and my breath was erratic.Sweats were also trickling down my skin, and my stomach churned and made loud noises. My hand moved to my chest to massage it; I applied a little pressure as I glanced at the room.The continuous ticking sound of the silver clock placed next to my queen-sized bed calmed me down.I sighed in relief after confirming that I was still in the power axis pack and not the red flame pack.After a little rest these few days, my body, which had been scheduled to the red flame pack timing for almost a decade, couldn't help reverting to the old ways of waking at 4:00 a.m. Soon, my breath and heartbeat returned to normal, and I calmed down. I fell onto the bed while yawning.Although I tried to fall asleep, something seemed to be bugging me, making me unable to. And after a few minutes of inability to fall asleep, I sat up again while sighing. I stood up from the soft queen-sized bed and walked to the
Beta Wyatt's brows arched in blaséness. “You know what?” He threw back casually in an unbothered voice, which made me look at him.I was so stunned that I couldn't give him a response. I was already overwhelmed with the fear that Beta Wyatt knew my real identity, but it turned out that he knew nothing. Was it all about addressing me alone? “Huh?” That was the only word the speechless me could let out, and he flicked my head slightly, which made me pucker my lips in grievance.“Silly, it isn't about the title; it is the question.” He elaborated this time, which made me knit my brows. What question was he talking about?I looked up at him and asked with cluelessness, “What question?” I tilted my head and asked.Immediately I did so, I recalled his question, 'What makes Princess think she can do so?' I sighed in relief upon realizing that I was the one thinking too much and Beta Wyatt's 'princess' address was just casual.My mouth curled slightly in amusement. Did he think I wasn't capab
I bit my lower lips and quickly plastered myself to Beta Wyatt out of fear. Did I fail another trial now? Oh, Goddess! I released a sigh due to distress, and as if noticing my fear, Wyatt smiled and caressed my back to comfort me.I envied his courage and bravery at that moment. How come he's always calm, regardless of what situation we are in?Oswald glared at me and strode toward us, his pressure pressing heavily on me, which made me grab Wyatt tighter.Before I could process it, Oswald's big hand grabbed my small one; swiftly, he pulled me into his embrace.I could feel him relaxing immediately as I entered his embrace, which made me stare at him in confusion. Why was he uneasy seeing me and Wyatt hugging when he was the one who planned to reject me and kick me out?Although I tried to separate from Oswald, he simply used his hand to press my face against his chest, rendering me unable to break away from him. “Alpha…”“Keep Quiet.” His wolf growled at me angrily.I felt myself grow
"Will you stop looking so intensely? You're making me make terrific errors, you two dipshits! Ugh!" An annoyed Dr. Asher yelled and angrily threw his stethoscope on the sofa.I massaged my forehead due to the building anger and distress I was feeling, all thanks to them.Right now, Asher wanted to diagnose my health, but Oswald and Wyatt kept watching us intently as if they didn't have anything to do, which seemed to be infuriating Playboy. Ahem, I mean Doctor Asher.This is over three times that Doctor Asher has thrown his tantrums because of the two instead of getting me diagnosed. Now, I can't help but fear that I'll be late for school at this rate."Will you do what you are ordered to do, or I throw you out?" Wyatt pronounced coldly with his arms crossed, which made Asher snort.I sighed in relief and gave this man, who always seems to notice whatever I'm about to say, a grateful nod.Asher suddenly banged on the table hard, which made me jump in shock. He pointed at Wyatt and me
KnockI was sprawled on the bed when my door was knocked again. I sighed and ruffled my hair in distress. After making my mission of attending school early fail, they won't even give me the chance to think about what to do with my life. Ugh!I swung my legs, which I casually placed on the headboard, and replied with a lazy 'Come in'.“I'm here to check up on you.” Asher, who held onto his stethoscope and a medical box, leisurely strode into the room as soon as I responded. His eyes swept my room before they fell on me.“Sure, if you won't quibble.” I retorted and sat up on the bed lazily, not quite believing him.Ugh! I feel like I'm having a weird attitude these days, but I'd like to blame it on my arrogance, which has been suppressed all along until it can't be contained.“Wyatt is extravagant this time,” Asher commented with a tut and walked to my bed before he stopped. He eyed me tentatively. “You're getting more glib day by day.” He blurted and sat down on a couch in my bedroom.
"Or to take revenge on those who snatched things from you?"Asher stared at me with a gaze filled with suggestions that perplexed me a bit.If it weren't for the lies I told about my relatives who seized my parents' properties after their deaths, I'd have believed that Asher knew something due to some of his mysterious actions.Although I wanted to ask Asher if he knew something, I was afraid that it would present me as a guilty person, which I'm trying to avoid, so I'd rather keep quiet and not arouse any suspicion.I leaned back indifferently and snorted at him while feigning calm, "You're sly. I can't beat you." I responded, and he chuckled in amusement as a response.Asher's lips curled slightly, and he moved back. "I can teach you..."My eyes lit up upon hearing Asher's words. If Asher agrees to teach me how to fight, that means I won't have to worry about how to increase my strength and build my fighting capability.Somehow, I felt that things were getting easily within my reach
"It hurts. It hurts so much." My eyes stung with unshed tears, and my voice emitted a shaky tone.I bit my lower lips hard due to pain.It wasn't just a minute later when the pain increased again. By now I couldn't help it anymore, and the tears I tried so hard to restrain began to stream down my cheeks.Everything hurts; my whole skin is hot, itchy, and peppers. It almost drives me crazy.Asher! How couldn't he have warned me of this? Ahhh!Before I could proceed with my thoughts, a scream emitted from my throat due to the sudden increase in pain.I clenched my fist hard and tried to prevent myself from accepting the decision to soak myself in the water to stop the pain.I tried to think of other things to get my mind off the pain, but unfortunately, I was unable to. All that pervaded my mind was how the gel-like mixture hurt so much.It hurts. It itches and burns so much.I gritted my teeth and tried to leave the bathroom in case I did something I regretted.My legs feel so weak, an
“Maia, right? You're assigned to class 9.” The secretary of the principal of the Power Axis Pack informed me while typing something on her laptop.She's a petite woman in her thirties. She's 5.4 feet tall, and she was dressed in a yellow suit and a skirt that fell below her knees. There was a large, rimmed glass on the bridge of her nose, and her black hair was packed in a messy bun.I had just completed my test. Yeah, you read that right—test.I never expected that I'd be taking a test before being assigned to school—silly me; I should've known that's how it goes.Besides, Wyatt didn't inform me I'd be taking a test before I could be admitted into school, or else I'd have read a few books after the whole skincare episode yesterday. Ugh!Thankfully, I do secretly read whenever I clean the Red Flame Pack library, or else I'll have become the first princess to fail a test in Wolf Clan history. On another note, it's good that I didn't read beforehand, or my actual level might never be kn
