Emily walked very sluggishly, dragging her suitcase while staring ahead with a blurred and empty gaze. Her heart felt heavy leaving this house, a place that had been a part of her life. This decision felt forced, and she realized she wasn't truly ready for it.
With every step she took, anxiety and uncertainty weighed heavily on her mind. However, deep down, she knew this was a step she had to take, even though the road ahead still appeared dim.Emily had lived in this house for a long time, having been adopted by Amber and brought here when she was eight years old. The tragic incident that befell her father replayed in her mind, tearing apart the peace she had long sought. Old memories began to surface, bringing back the pain and confusion she had once felt.Her thoughts felt chaotic, and suddenly, her head began to throb. The trauma within her was acute, suffocating her with bitter memories that were hard to forget. Happy moments in this house felt lost,She took a deep breath, attempting to ease the tension that gripped her body. Remembering who she was before all this, she sought a glimmer of courage within her heart. Emily was determined not to let this change take over, even though fear and uncertainty lurked at the back of her mind.It took a while for Emily to regain her stability and normalcy. She tried to regulate her breathing, inhaling and exhaling slowly, trying to achieve a sense of calm. After a while, she finally felt tranquility start to seep into her.Suddenly, her form shifted back to Emily, appearing as an ordinary human. The tense and upright hairs gradually disappeared, retreating back into her pores.With a more regular breath, she felt a lighter burden. Although anxiety still enveloped her, at least she had managed to control herself for the time being. Emily glanced around, trying to gather her thoughts and plan her next steps without the haunting fear."It seems I should go
With a mix of emotions, she continued her steps toward her room. Emily tried to shake off the strange feeling that had just emerged, convincing herself that Zack's words didn’t matter. However, in the corner of her heart, she knew she felt uneasy after hearing that.Though she tried not to think about what Zack had said, confusion about her own feelings continued to trouble her. Emily felt trapped in a labyrinth of emotions, but she was determined to find peace in her personal space. Once she reached her room, she gently closed the door, hoping to distance herself from everything that weighed her down.Meanwhile, Zack and his friends planned to go out. They intended to seek entertainment and fun as usual. Although Zack felt a pang of guilt for being cold to Emily, he tried to dismiss that feeling.Zack thought about catching Emily's attention by acting a certain way. He believed that Emily's hardened heart could soften if he showed his mysterious side. In
Emily, who had just arrived in her room, began to think about Zack again. The presence of Zack and the three alphas on her campus made her feel anxious. Her eyes widened as she considered something she truly did not want to happen.Since their arrival, the atmosphere on campus had changed. Emily felt trapped in an unavoidable tension. She feared that Zack planned to approach her again, especially with the support of those three alphas. Worries enveloped her mind, recalling the bitter memories she wished to forget.She grabbed a pillow and pressed her face into it, trying to calm herself. “This can't happen again,” she whispered to herself. However, the shadows of Zack and the three alphas continued to haunt her, making her feel unsafe.Emily knew she had to prepare for the worst. Yet, deep down, she hoped to find a way to overcome her fears and protect herself from the past she wanted to forget. "Could it be that they are all four alphas studying at my cam
The atmosphere in the room began to lighten, filled with laughter and the sounds of the game. Emily, still peeking from behind the wall, realized that they seemed to prioritize fun over their assignment. However, she also knew there was something bigger she needed to uncover about the four alphas.“Yeah, we’ll do it later. We still have time,” Stefan chimed in, also focused on the game like Zack.“Yeah, you guys can do that. I want to finish quickly so I can rest tonight and wake up early tomorrow without feeling tired. I felt so sleepy in class because we stayed up too late last night, almost until dawn,” Marko said seriously.Marko's two friends seemed indifferent to his statement, continuing to immerse themselves in the game and laughter. Meanwhile, Emily felt increasingly alert. Even though the atmosphere seemed relaxed, she knew that behind the laughter and jokes, there was a bigger plan that she needed to uncover.Freddy moved closer to Mark
Suddenly, Marko proposed a condition, “Alright, you can copy my assignment, but there’s a catch.”Zack immediately showed enthusiasm, “What’s the catch?”Everyone awaited Marko's answer, the atmosphere reawakening with curiosity. Freddy, though disagreeing with Stefan, remained interested in seeing how this situation would unfold. Marko, with a mysterious smile on his face, was ready to present his terms.“Just tell us what you want!” Stefan added, eager to hear Marko’s conditions.Marko sighed and replied, “Let’s discuss it tonight. Right now, let me focus on my assignment, and don’t disturb me so I can finish it quickly!”With that statement, Marko became serious again, opening the book he had been holding. The atmosphere turned calm, and Zack and Stefan, though still curious, realized it was time for Marko to concentrate on his work. Freddy also chose not to disturb him, respecting Marko’s decision and enjoying the moment of silence.
Meanwhile, the day began to turn to night. Emily's thoughts still wrestled with the same issues as earlier in the afternoon. The anxiety within her grew, and she felt a dilemma about her plans for tomorrow. Should she go to campus or skip it? The overwhelming fear engulfed Emily, making her feel more stressed.The inner turmoil was so intense that she found it hard to sleep, just like the previous night. Since the four alphas returned from abroad, Emily's life had become increasingly chaotic. Her mind was filled with bad thoughts about what she suspected would happen in her life. Anxiety and uncertainty dominated her night, keeping her awake and unable to find peace.Emily thought about ending her life or returning to her hometown, where she lived with her father from childhood until she was eight. The tragedy that separated her from her father and led to her adoption by Amber constantly haunted her thoughts. She felt that going back to the past might be the o
Zack chose to stay silent and focus on his task rather than engage with Stefan. The atmosphere in the room felt quiet, with only the sound of keyboard typing and the occasional sigh from Freddy. Freddy also remained silent, uninterested in discussing what Stefan had been talking about. For him, the most important thing was to finish his summary task as quickly as possible so he could sleep soundly that night.Stefan began to feel uncomfortable. It felt as if his voice was merely filling an unwanted void. With each passing second, embarrassment weighed heavier on his heart. Eventually, he decided to stop talking. The silence among them felt even more palpable, but at least it allowed Zack and Freddy to concentrate better on their work.As the clock ticked closer to dawn, Stefan returned to his task with a renewed sense of focus. He concentrated fiercely, trying to push aside the uncomfortable feelings that were creeping in, gnawing at the edges of his resolve.
Without hesitation, Emily covered Catty's mouth, worried that her loud voice would draw more attention than desired. She nodded and explained that her assignment was completed, trying to keep the conversation quiet to avoid disturbing the atmosphere around them."Don't be loud! Yes, my assignment is done, I finished it," Emily whispered while still covering Catty's mouth.Catty struggled, trying to break free from Emily's grip. She felt suffocated and uncomfortable, but she also understood that her friend was just trying to keep things discreet.After a few seconds, Emily finally let go, and Catty immediately caught her breath. They continued their way to class cautiously."Speak softly! It's noisy! I'll open it later," Emily instructed, still in a hushed tone.They tried to keep the atmosphere calm, worried that their voices would attract unwanted attention. With quick steps, they headed to class, determined to get through the day without any
Until finally, Zack's mother died at the hands of Amber and her allies. They had cunning intentions to seize the throne in order to maintain power. However, the unexpected thing was that in the dying moments of Zack's mother, she had time to give birth first. A year after Zack was born, his mother was pregnant again. His father, who was worried about the fate of his children after his wife died, immediately took action to keep his children away from Amber, although bringing Zack was difficult because he was under tight guard from Amber's guards.Finally, Zack's father could only take Emily, who had only been born a few hours ago. Initially, Amber did not know about Emily's birth. But after a few years, Amber began to find out about her husband and daughter's whereabouts. She felt threatened by her position as Luna, fearing that she would be replaced or killed by her husband. Therefore, Amber always looked for ways to make her husband disappear from this earth so that his po
However, this relationship was not without complications. Amber, feeling threatened by this second marriage, began to plot ways to maintain her position and power. She felt that if Emily and Zack's father reunited with his true love, she would lose not only her status in the pack but also the sense of security she had enjoyed. This fear drove her to take actions that led to manipulation and intrigue.At that time, Zack and Emily's father's marriage to their mother resulted from love that had been obstructed by previous political demands. The two partners had been separated due to an agreement that required Zack and Emily's father to marry Amber. Even though it was forced, they entered that marriage hoping that one day they could reunite.However, the situation became more complicated when Amber felt she had to do something to maintain the power she had built. In her mind, if she didn’t take drastic measures, she would lose everything she had fought for. The pressur
Marko raised his hand, trying to calm the atmosphere. "Listen to this! Let the recordings explain what really happened. This serves as supporting evidence because I can’t speak freely, worried you wouldn’t believe me," he stated firmly. He could feel his heart racing, but he knew this was an important moment.Carefully, Marko pressed the play button on his phone. The sound of the recording began to flow, filling the room with a conversation full of tension. Amber's words, along with those of the people around her, revealed suspicious plans involving his mother and many others. Marko watched Zack, Stefan, and Freddy's reactions as they listened, hoping this information would open their eyes.Each second of the recording brought them closer to the truth. Marko noticed Zack's expression change, from confusion to deep anxiety. He knew that what was captured in the recording wasn't just words but a warning of the dangers that threatened them. In his heart, Marko hoped t
Marko quickened his pace to reach Zack's house as soon as possible. Although Luna and Amber's allies had lost his trail, he still felt his breath was unstable. Slowly, the fur on his body returned to its normal size, but the tension within him had not fully dissipated. Marko realized that his position was still vulnerable. He couldn't breathe easy until he met Zack and Emily to reveal all the secrets he had witnessed. Each heartbeat felt rapid, and his mind was filled with images of Amber's meeting with those mysterious individuals. "I have to get to Zack's house soon!" he thought urgently. He continued walking through the quiet streets, trying to ignore the fatigue that was starting to creep in. Every step carried the heavy burden of information, and he knew that time was not on his side. Anxiety haunted him again. The decision to share what he knew was a risky step, but he understood it was the only way to protect himself and the people
Meanwhile, Zack was making a group call on his phone to his friends, confirming that the party plan they had discussed earlier would take place this week. Zack was very enthusiastic about it because he felt bored and exhausted, especially with Connie’s increasing obsession with him. He just wanted to find some entertainment he could enjoy with his friends.Finally, the time for the small party at Zack's house was agreed upon by the four alphas who had just finished discussing. It was likely to be held in three days. Of course, they needed thorough preparation to ensure everything went as hoped. It couldn't be sudden and haphazard. They needed organized entertainment that would be perfectly executed and satisfying.Moments later, Marko arrived at Zack's house to deliver the props Zack had ordered as part of the party plans. However, as he entered the house and before he could head to Zack's room, he suddenly heard Amber speaking on the phone with someone. Marko reca
"I feel like everything seemed odd. When my father and I had our last encounter, I sensed something strange at that moment," Emily said, furrowing her brow. She felt an uncomfortable sensation enveloping that moment, even though everything appeared normal on the surface. Her instincts told her that something was amiss, even though she found it hard to explain what she meant."Odd?" Marko asked, increasingly intrigued.In her memory, they were talking about the future—hopes and dreams typically shared between a father and child. However, in the middle of that conversation, tension cloaked the space around them as if something was lurking, waiting for the right moment to shatter everything. When the tragedy finally occurred, Emily realized that moment marked the end of everything, changing her life forever.Reflecting on that experience, Emily felt a drive to dig deeper. She wanted to understand the strange feelings she had at that time. Perhaps by gaining d
Emily realized that sharing her story was an important step to release the burden on her heart. She hoped Marko could understand how difficult her life was. In her heart, she prayed that Marko would not only listen but also feel the weight of the journey she had endured. Perhaps, with this courage, she could find the support she had long sought.Marko felt sadness hearing Emily's unfortunate fate. Her life story, full of loss and pain, made him reflect. However, deep down, he knew that was the way of life. Not everything in life needed to be regretted; sometimes, there were lessons to be learned from every bitter experience.Perhaps in the future, good fortune awaited Emily. Marko believed that no one could predict how a person’s fate could change in an instant. Sometimes, change comes unexpectedly, bringing new hope and a second chance. However, there are times when change requires a long and patient process.Marko wanted to reassure Emily that even thoug
Marko was taken aback by the honesty coming from Emily, who usually kept her feelings hidden. This time, Emily began to open up, seemingly ready to share her story. Although he felt that it wasn't the right moment to continue their conversation, Marko understood that Emily was an omega bound by rules she couldn't defy.A wave of concern washed over Marko as he considered Emily's fate. She was still so young to face the harsh pressures surrounding her. Yet, Emily had become accustomed to navigating a world full of coercion, making her a strong individual despite her struggles. Marko wished there were a way to help her find her freedom without crossing any boundaries."I'm sorry, Marko. Perhaps my words have hurt you. But I mean no harm. I hope you understand my situation," Emily said, lowering her head. The atmosphere around them felt heavy, as if her words hung in the air.Marko was surprised to hear Emily apologize. He never expected this usually reserved
"Miss Connie, your parents advised you to control your emotions!" whispered one of her guards, moving closer to Connie's position. Connie froze after hearing her guard's whisper, her hand still raised to grab Emily’s hair. In an instant, she paused to think and finally released her grip. Quickly, Connie led her friends away from the scene, leaving the crowd in silence. The gazes of those around them seemed to scatter, as if still trying to digest what had just happened.Connie and her friends walked towards class with determined strides, as if nothing could stop them. Meanwhile, Emily remained frozen in the same spot, unsure of what to do. Confusion enveloped her mind, and she felt trapped in a moment that was suffocating.Gradually, one by one, the people around her began to disperse, returning to their own activities. The noise resumed, but Emily still stood silent, as if time had stopped for her. Everything that had occurred felt so fast and profound, leaving an
