Ciara stared until her eyes ached upon hearing the price Scott was asking for his offer to buy clothes.

“Then, no,” she blurted. “I don’t mind wearing your clothes.”

“No, no, no! That’s not what I mean!” Scott stood up and put his hands on his hips, then ran his hand through his hair while sighing. “Ah... how should I put it?” he muttered, more to himself.

After looking confused for a moment, he stared at her. His eyes melancholic. “You have to make it through,” he said. “I mean... use your body, your abilities, as best as you can to win the competition.”

It was a request that made her heart blossom. She felt flattered and her face blushed. “Su—sure,” she stammered nervously.

Scott gave her a sideways smile that vanished in the blink of an eye. “Let’s eat,” he invited.

And they spent the rest of the evening at the kitchen counter, listening to Scott’s stories about his friends on the Silvercrest patrol team.

It was the first time Ciara had spent an evening with so much laughter and tr

    It took an hour from Silvercrest to the nearest town, Naechester. Just like when Ciara first got into Scott’s car, her expression as the car glided into the city center of Naechester amused him. She was so excited like a kid being taken to a playground.“You look happy,” Scott said teasingly.Ciara seemed too elated to realize that he was teasing her. Her window was still wide open, but she no longer leaned out. Scott told her not to stick body parts out because they were now in fairly heavy traffic.Unlike Silvercrest, which was a settlement inhabited by werewolves, Naechester was a larger city inhabited by humans. Although Silvercrest also had shopping centers, restaurants, clothing stores, and public places like any city, Scott didn’t want to take Ciara around Silvercrest. It would only spark gossip and make Ciara the center of attention. He didn’t want to make her uncomfortable while she was in Silvercrest.“What’s that place?” Ciara asked, pointing to a bakery dominated by pink a

    Half an hour later Ciara and Scott came out with a box of desserts, followed by the store manager and the waitress who had been laughing at Ciara. They kept saying sorry, even after Scott took Ciara across the street and into a shop.After making sure the people from the pastry shop couldn’t see them anymore, Ciara pulled her hand from Scott’s grip. “Is it necessary?” she asked. “Isn’t it natural for them to laugh at me for my ignorance?”They are now in a shop that contains box-shaped objects of small and large sizes. On each box were pictures of people Ciara didn’t know, or some were just colorful writing and pictures.“What did you say?” Scott asked.Someone entered and asked them to get away from the doorstep. Ciara jumped too far sideways and bumped into someone who was wearing something in his ears.“I’m sorry!” She yelped, cupping her hands and looking down.The man didn’t say anything and went back to his business. He nodded his head while closing his eyes and the weirdness ma

    Scott couldn’t stop thinking about his behavior today. He didn’t feel like he was being himself, but he couldn’t deny that… he enjoyed it.He didn’t know when was the last time he went into town to just take a walk, or eat at a restaurant while watching the traffic and people passing by on the sidewalks.He’s been too busy preparing to become an Alpha and training the patrol team to properly protect the pack.He didn’t have time to really enjoy life.When he saw Ciara drink all of his beer and smash the glass while wiping away tears, he couldn’t help but smile.They stared at each other and laughed. A sincere laugh that Scott never seemed to have done so far.To borrow Godrick’s term, Scott’s life has always been like a somber black-and-white picture, and that’s why Scott is better suited to spending time with the serious Burke than Godrick and Sewell.Scott suddenly wanted to spend more time with Ciara. When they were done with the meal, he would take her to explore the city, to anti

    Deftly, Scott scooped Ciara in his arms and half ran towards the car. He opened the passenger door, threw her on the seat, then got into the driver’s seat and started the engine.“Close the door,” he ordered. Ciara reached out and pulled open the door, and someone’s hand appeared from behind, gripping her hand.She screamed, Scott widened his eyes in terror. He stepped on the gas pedal and the man who caught Ciara’s hand was dragged away. Even so, the man did not release his grip.Scott heard people on the sidewalk screaming at the sight of them.“Close the door with your other hand!” he shouted. They were soon at an intersection and the light was turning green. There was only one chance. If the light turned red, he must stop the car and they would be caught.“his hand will be caught in the car door!” Ciara replied, panicking.“That’s the point!” said Scott, irritated. How did she still think about the safety of the people who want to catch her? Sometimes her innocence made Scott want

    Ciara knew that mentioning Nova’s name in front of Scott would make him angry, but she couldn’t help herself from talking about him. She really misses him.The hallway of the house became quiet after Scott’s outburst. Ciara stood in her place for a few minutes before heading into her room.Her fears were confirmed. She didn’t deserve happiness. Her life was not destined for freedom.Lost in these melancholic thoughts, Ciara fell asleep.When she woke up, the sky outside her window had turned dark. She had no idea how long she had been asleep. Scott’s house was still silent, and it seemed like Scott was still in his room.This was her fault, Ciara thought. At the very least, she should apologize for mending their relationship. Nova always told her to apologize when she made a mistake.Ciara blinked and stared at the ceiling. She promised herself not to mention Nova when she was with Scott.After washing her face and running her fingers through her hair, Ciara left her room. When she op

    “Ciara.”Ciara’s heart throbbed in a very painful way. She could feel her veins pounding against her flesh and skin. Her blood flowed like a rushing river that made her body as hot as burning coals.Someone walked up to her from the darkness at the far end of the room.No way. She returned to this place. A place surrounded by steel walls and thick windows that were impervious to attack. Her wolf had repeatedly tried to destroy the glass but had ended up hurting herself.Those people, the humans in black and flannel shirts, were looking at her like a pet through the window, giving their assessments and discussing her behavior. Ciara’s life and death were in their hands. And every single thing they do to her only hurts her.“Ciara, come here. Don’t be afraid.”The sound of a trolley wheel accompanied the voice rolling towards her. She could even hear the tinkling of the needles and the air being drawn in as the person moved the syringe in his hand.“No,” she mumbled. She shook her head

    Ciara came to the patrol’s main base alone because she thought she already knew the way there. What she didn’t consider was that no one would greet her kindly when they saw her. Well, there was one person who greeted her with a smile. Scott’s friend named Sewell, scuttled over to her and looked behind her.“Where is Mr. Griffith?” he asked. He looked back one more time, then looked at Ciara.“Er—he, still at his house.” She bit the inside of her lip and turned her gaze toward the team members who were observing her. “Am I going to fight them all?” she asked.Sewell raised both eyebrows and followed her gaze. “No!” He exclaimed while gesticulating with both hands. “Not them all. Relax! Burke and Godrick have also taken orders not to be too hard on you.”“Why?”Sewell looked confused. “What do you mean, why?”“What’s with that order?” Ciara had thought Burke and Godrick were worried about her, but it would make no sense.This time, it was Sewell’s turn to look nervous. “That—that is bec

    Ciara’s hand, which was gently rubbing Scott’s arm, fell limp upon hearing that. “What are you saying? What’s that supposed to mean?” She couldn’t think. She didn’t know what filled her mind right now. It was as if her brain’s functionality had been hindered, and she couldn’t draw conclusions from the reality Scott revealed. “Nova...,” Ciara murmured, uttering the name with confusion. “You... and Nova...?” “Yes. We’re siblings. Nova is my brother. A brother I never knew I had.” Ciara covered her mouth with both hands. It was too impossible to be called a coincidence. Nova had indeed mentioned that Silvercrest was the pack where her mother came from, but Ciara never imagined he had a blood connection with Scott. “I was as surprised as you when I found out about it from my mother,” said Scott. He shook his head. “It turns out my sibling has been looking out for you, Ciara. She saved you, my mate, from hell.” Ciara didn’t know why she stood up and walked to the riverbank, but she

  • Rejected by The Future Alpha   A Perfect Place

    There’s a nook beneath the cliff they had passed earlier. A stretch of white sand extends along the river with clear water as emerald as gemstones. An expanse of forest stretches on the opposite bank of the river, and there’s a large shady oak tree right next to the nook.Ciara sighed in amazement at the sight. A perfect place.“This is just the beginning,” Scott explained. There was a hint of proudness in his voice. “Wait until nightfall, and you’ll witness something much more beautiful than all of this.”Ciara furrowed her brow at Scott’s explanation. She was curious. “What’s going to happen?” Then she looked at the sky and remembered the expanse of stars in the Moon Warriors’ territory. “Are we going to see the stars?”“More than just that,” Scott murmured. He winked, and Ciara’s heart trembled at the sight.Scott led her into the large nook near the oak tree. There, he invited her to sit on the sand. He stretched out his legs and looked towards the river.“This is the perfect plac

    “I was looking for you,” Ciara replied. “Louis came to me and Godrick, crying. He said you were missing, and he was terrified.” Ciara looked Margo up and down. “But seems like you’re okay. What actually happened?”Margo’s face appeared flushed. She bent her knees and hugged them, placing her chin there. “I... I’m okay,” she murmured. “I just wanted to... disappear for a while.”Ciara sighed. She took a seat next to Margo and sat with her. They both gazed towards the river. “What happened?” Ciara asked. “Will you tell me?”Margo picked up a stone near her foot and threw it towards the river. “I—this is embarrassing,” she said, shaking her head. “I’m not sure I can tell you.”“Tell me. I won’t judge,” Ciara assured her. “And whatever happened to you is important. Just like you, I won’t take it lightly.”Margo stared at Ciara for a while. “I... I actually like Deck.”That wasn’t surprising. However, to spare Margo’s feelings, Ciara feigned astonishment. “Oh, really? Since when?”Margo sh

    “But I’m not done,” Ciara said. “I still have to train them until later this afternoon with Godrick.”Scott frowned upon hearing her mention Godrick’s name. “Who schedules your activities?”“We schedule them together.”“If there’s a rescheduling, I won’t allow you to be paired with Godrick in anything.”Ciara could only roll her eyes and choose to ignore Scott’s protests. His jealousy was entirely unfounded.“What time will you be finished?”“At four in the afternoon.”“Then we’ll meet at home later in the evening, okay?”Ciara nodded, closing her eyes briefly. Scott leaned forward and kissed her forehead. “See you later, then.”He waved and walked away. Shortly after Scott left the main base, Godrick opened the office door and approached Ciara. “I’ve been peeking through the window, waiting for him to leave,” he grumbled. “He’s really annoying.”“Don’t you act like that toward your partner?”Godrick looked surprised at Ciara’s question. He blinked and then shook his head. “Me? Do you

    Ciara waited patiently, but after their meeting with Mila, Scott had yet to fulfill his promise to take Ciara around. Until now, she didn’t know what the continuation of their plans regarding the couple’s ritual would be like.“Ciara, watch out!”Something rushed towards her and almost collided with her. Swiftly, Ciara jumped to the side, avoiding the attack and successfully saving herself from the onslaught of an uncontrollable wolf.They were having a routine competition among patrol team members, and now it was a match between Deck and a new member named Louis. The one who had just lunged at Ciara was Deck.After the match ended, Deck ran over to Ciara.“I’m sorry!” he exclaimed, bowing. “I didn’t mean to attack you!”Godrick walked behind him and pressed the young man’s head. “Bow deeper,” he commanded, pushing Deck’s head further down, almost to his knees.“Godrick, stop it,” Ciara said, glaring at Godrick.Godrick gave her a grin and released his hand from Deck’s head.“You were

    Ciara concluded her story with a smile. She wiped away her last tears that evening and stroked the grave marker of Nova, bidding him farewell.“We’ll visit her occasionally,” Scott said.They walked side by side, Scott embracing Ciara, and Ciara hugging Scott around the waist as they headed towards the car.“That day... I don’t know what would have happened to me if it weren’t for you finding me,” Ciara reminisced, as the car drove away from the cemetery.“You would have become a captive for sure. They would have tortured you or even killed you. A rogue is one of the pack’s archenemies, and there is no mercy for those who dare to trespass into our territory.”“But you spared me.”“Because my wolf forbade me to harm you.” He glanced through the corner of his eye. “I guess our wolves have a strong instinct about each other.”When they arrived at Silvercrest, a stack of tasks awaited them.For the next few weeks, Ciara and Scott were occupied with their respective activities. Scott was p

    That day was the day Ciara basked in the sunlight. She wasn’t truly outdoors, as she had always dreamed, but in a glass-roofed room revealing the blue sky and sunshine. As usual, Nova was with her.Today, he didn’t bring anything, but his presence beside her was more than enough to make her happy.“Do you like being under the sunlight?” he asked as they both sat in a patch of warm golden light.She looked up and raised her hand, shielding her eyes from the brightness. “Yes. The sun and the sky become refreshing colors to my eyes. They are something special.” Then she gazed at him. “You must see them every day, right?”Nova didn’t answer immediately. He just stared at Ciara with his gentle gaze that always made her heart race. “Yes... I see them every day to the point where I take them for granted.”Ciara smiled faintly. “In that case, we have a different perspective on what’s special.”Nova nodded. He then lifted his face and made the same motion as Ciara. As they both lowered their h

    And imperceptibly, days had passed. Ciara had fallen under Nova’s charm, and for the first time, she listened to and obeyed someone in that place.Ciara didn’t interact much with people here, and none of them caught her interest. They seemed gloomy with stern faces and rough behavior. But Nova was different.Her heart raced every time he appeared. There was a fresh and calming scent about him that could mask the unpleasant smell of the cleaning fluids she despised. He always smiled whenever he entered her room, bringing new things to show her every day.Today, he brought some new items she had never seen before. She thought they might be tools for a series of tests.But it turned out they were called a television and a VCD player.“We’re going to watch a movie,” Nova said, followed by his usual sweet smile. “Have you ever watched a movie?”“Are you mocking me?” Ciara replied curtly.Nova laughed. “Sorry.”A few minutes passed, and Ciara sat quietly on the bed, observing Nova setting u

    “Nova came to the place one day after the bad guys took liters of my blood and tested various types of bullets to shoot into my body.”Ciara started her story about Nova.*It was a rough day, just like any other day Ciara spent in that horrible place.She hated everyone there and her wolf was at a peak of rage, which she could not control. Every few minutes, someone injects a large dose of anesthetic and attaches a special device that renders her immutable.As the drugs and devices took effect, her vision became blurry and she could only hear voices around her. They spoke in stretched tones and it was as if they were talking underwater.The anesthetic reaction lasted only half an hour at most. Her self-healing ability makes the effects of the anesthetic fade quickly. And when she came to her senses, she heard someone speak angrily.“What did you guys do to her?!” the man exclaimed. “She could die if you treat her like this!”Then another person answered the anger with the phrase ‘thi
