Chapter 3

Cole:

The human girl makes me dizzy.

She has olive skin with a tinge of red by her cheekbones. And the freckles on the edge of her cheekbones reminds me of the stars half-hiding in the rosy-pink clouds before the sunset. The sunset I always dream of in my nightmares.

“I’ve never seen a girl having such a sweet tooth. ” Avery, one of the twin boys, accosts her with a smile.

“I do physical exercise every day.”

Avery’s gaze runs over her beautiful body. “Yeah. You don’t have to limit your sugar intake to me. What sports do you do? Maybe I’d join you next time.”

My wolf is agitated. I don’t like her, but I hate it more that Avery’s flirting with her.

“Nobody cares about what you think. And if you really must know, I always do the sports which can make condescending assholes behave politely, especially to ladies. ” 

“No babe, you got it wrong, I save all my respect for the ladies. Cole can testify, right?”

No way. I clinched my teeth to contain my wolf’s growl. 

Weirdly, she glances at me quickly and replies to Avery as calmly as just now. “I’m not your babe, asshole.” Then her sparkling indomitable eyes fix on me. “Is there any rules about taking how many pieces of a dessert?”

Why do her eyes feel so familiar?

Suddenly, my nightmares flash back. I shake my head to shake off the sad segments.

“No. Help yourself but remember, we do have rules and you’ll learn from me soon.”

“Well good luck with that. I don’t conform to narcissistic assholes so you might learn from me instead”

I raise my chin.

This is why I don’t agree with Uncle Derek about allowing humans into our territory. They are just of indocility, though this one is quite pretty. We’re the largest, wealthiest and strongest pack, and PSA, the No.1 security company in the world, was founded by my grandfather to utilize our wolf senses to protect weak creatures like humans. But now, I, taking part in PSA since 16 as an enforcer, have to act just like a human.

I turn around and take my group out of the cafeteria, realizing that humans are not the worst part of this camp: the famous Jewel Coven from Bloomer University are here too.

Uncle Derek always asks me to be civil with those witches because of the recent treaty; and technically allowing the humans in can make them stop being suspicious that there is something supernatural here, and also make them the buffer amongst us wolves and the witches. 

Bullshit.

Witches are vile, manipulative and they will just wait for when they can stab you in the back or more murder your entire pack. 

How do I know? 

They destroyed my family.

“Hey, look on the bright side, new chicks so fresh meat.” Uncle Derek’s son Skye winks at me.

“Like Sherry?” I notice the red-haired slut girl clinging to Skye all the way has been finally driven away to her people.

“Your plan for Sherry ain’t working? What a shame!” Skye’s sister Sam mocks. 

“Damn! That chick is crazy, no matter how much I try to bore the shit out of her, she still sticks like a bad smell. I’m just grateful for not sleeping with her. She seems like the type who will force a mating onto you by telling the elders I took her virginity.” Skye drags a hand through his hair. “But Dad wants me on my best behavior because her uncle is the Alpha of the neighbor pack. ” 

I roll my eyes. Sherry’s uncle sent her here to mate with Skye and become Luna of our pack for securing his alliance with us. She surely is acting as if she is in charge already by bossing some of the lower pack members. But she never achieves what she wishes because the next Alpha of our pack will be me.

The present Alpha, Uncle Derek, is my father’s fraternal twin brother. They have different facial features, personalities and life choices. Dad gave up the Alpha title because Mum wanted to travel around the world. So Uncle took over his job. But when he resigned, I’ll carry on the Alpha duty as I should do. Thanks to the Moon Goddess that Sherry doesn’t know the truth. 

And I refuse to settle down with just anyone so our pack can have a Luna. The only person that will stand at my side is my Silver.

After the orientation patrol in the cafeteria, we go to the auditorium. Uncle Derek called a PSA pack meeting there while the visiting universities are stuck in the dorms.

“All right everyone, I know this evening is going to be the start of the longest three months of our life but if you really think about it, we are actually killing two birds with one stone: The humans that were poking around our area for our privacy have been shut with the internship, and the witches from the Jewel Coven have been roped to solidify our treaty now. ” 

I look at my uncle standing on the podium where my father used to stand. 

“I want all wolves attending campus to behave well, especially the enforcer candidates.” He turns to me with a meaningful look. “We need to maintain our appearance. So the shifting has been scheduled. As well as enforcer training has been relocated to the back of the mansion. Eat in the cafeteria. Never skip classes. Use the gym with the proper restraint that we have agreed on.” 

That elicited groans from majority of the pack members.

“I know it is going to be hard but if we want to continue to enjoy our hard-earned peace, we are going to have to sacrifice a bit now. We do not want the humans questioning us. Just keep this in your mind: it is in your hands to let this pack stay honored and true for what we stand for!”

“Honor, Truth and Peace!” The entire pack says together. 

Uncle Derek nods his head towards us. “Okay then. Assistants for incoming university students will be led by Beta Marie; enforcers and trainees go to your enforcer head Ty for the new roster and patrolling plans. Dismiss!” 

As we head towards Ty, the twins Andre and Avery catches up to us.

“What’s the enforcer training exactly for?” Avery asks Ty throwing an arm over my shoulders. I shrug it off and scowl at him; I don’t like to be touched by anyone.

“To you guys, the training will make you blend into human society. You’ll be sent to the human police department for investigation missions. ”

My scowl shifts to Ty. “You know my alpha vibes will definitely expose my strength. The humans might find out I’m not part of them and be unwilling to cooperate with us. We can’t afford for that because I need the witches to continue thinking that I am not a threat.”

“Exactly, that’s why this is your task. Besides the training, you’re also in charge of keeping our wolves from having fights with humans and witches in this university. So restrain yourself.” Ty says sternly. “When you see how badly other creatures are injured, hurt, and even murdered, you will understand how significant your job is.” 

“I’ll only understand how weak they are and how unworthy to know them.” I mutter to him. But the next moment, the brave human girl’s face jumps out of my mind.

No, she won’t be an exception.
