"The world has experienced many shifts. Plastic surgery is no longer something interesting. Furthermore, humans have gone crazy with DNA altering operations in their bodies."
"Currently, the world is dominated by the werewolf race who lead life. They are strong, intelligent, and have a long life."
"It all started from a long war between humans and werewolves. Technological developments also prompted the pure human race to consciously change themselves to become werewolves. Everything is done only to gain all power and eternal life."
"For the pure human race which lost the battle, they retained their original form. The pure human race has to survive in very few poor and marginalized places. If they wish to survive, then this pure human race must be willing to live the life of the slaves of those werewolves."
Jonea scanned the v-tube channel to a different medium. A narrator's voice in a business video echoes in Jonea's small and simple room. The narrator conveys the profiles and achievements of the country's largest companies.
"Abraham Group was selected as the project holder for constructing the new capital city in this country. Despite the global recession since the economic boom in the Blue Sapphire country, this group of companies continues to grow globally."
"The dominance of the Abraham Group has strengthened since the last year. After wealthy national and global class entrepreneurs from some werewolf packs decided to join forces and form an alliance with Pack Abraham."
Jonea changed the channel. A news narrator also broadcasts something similar.
"From electronics, cars, distribution, to communications. Abraham Group has become the country's largest and most well-known household goods brand."
On the monumental day when the company reached $10 billion in export value, the company's chief executive was invited to the presidential building. Instead of receiving an award, the prominent director and the alpha even told the president he wanted to build a school for his grandchildren."
"Abraham's private educational institutions began to be built 5 years ago. There is no such big school in the land of Blue Sapphire. The school is known as the most elite, and only students from the werewolf or upper-class humans can receive an education there. However, thanks to the generosity of the alpha, this school has begun to open up opportunities for outstanding students in this country to get scholarships and pursue full education there."
Jonea turned off the v-tube channel on her laptop. She had scoured as many references as possible about Abraham's high school profile to learn about it.
"Unfortunately, no one knows," said Jonea. "That behind the walls of an elite school and the envy of many people out there hides terrible rot."
Jonea clenched her fists. She gripped the makeup brushes in her hands until they crunched and snapped. Jonea is doing her makeup in front of the mirror. The girl's hands were skilled at creating shading on her face while occasionally glancing at the close-up photo of Miler that she stuck in the mirror.
"Finally, my passion for painting and making character makeup comes in handy too."
The girl put the broken blush brush on the table and admired her handiwork. She already had the exact same face as Miller's. Jonea also wore Miller's Abraham High School uniform.
"Just the final touches," Jonea muttered.
She smoothed her cropped hair and styled it exactly like Miller's. She is ready to go to Abraham High School to replace Miller after the summer break. Now, her appearance really resembles Miller.
"Ah, glasses," Jonea muttered.
Jonea had planned the disguise since the start of summer vacation three months ago. Since Miller was lying in the hospital, a state almost paralyzed his body due to bullying at his school.
"I'm willing to take time off from art school to find the perpetrators and avenge them."
Jonea grabbed her bag and rushed out of the room. At the door, she was greeted by Mrs Fallon's hysterical screams.
"Jonea! What do you think you're doing?"
Mr Fallon came out of the room when he heard the commotion. "Miller?"
"He's not Miller," said Mrs Fallon. "She... our Jonea!"
"I will temporarily replace Miller at Abraham High School. Don't we want him to lose his scholarship? After all, Miller had worked hard up until this point. I promise, when he recovers later, he can retake his place."
"But, Jonea... How about your own school?" Mrs Fallon looked agitated and worried. "And I'm afraid you will go through the same thing with Miller. Don't go, Jonea! I'm going to transfer Miller to a new school!"
Jonea shook her head. She wanted to please Miller. "This is the only good thing I can do for Miller. Please don't block me. I promise I'll take care of myself. I'm a taekwondo black belt, remember?"
Mr Fallon rolled his eyes in disbelief.
"Please, Dad. I'll turn the whole thing around when Miller is back on his feet and off to school. I will look for even the tiniest piece of evidence!"
Jonea's parents were speechless. They could only hug Jonea tightly before she took a bag full of clothes and headed to Abraham High School's dormitory.
On the bus ride to school, Jonea kept going through the notes she had made and learned everything she had to remember about Abraham High School. She had memorized the faces and names of Miller's friends and teachers and a map of the locations in the school.
The school building can be seen in the distance. Jonea was stunned to see the splendour of the building. After getting off at the bus stop in front of the school, Jonea walked calmly along the sidewalk, entering the school gate.
When Jonea was about to reach the gate, she saw many luxury cars arriving. They were all students—children of the country's wealthy and conglomerate businessmen. More importantly, most of them came from the werewolf race.
Jonea felt nauseous for a moment.
"So…," Jonea muttered while glancing at the luxury cars pacing back and forth through the school gate, "Which one has made Miller suffer?"
Punch!
Someone bumped into Jonea from behind. The girl almost fell over.
"Are you blind?" shouted the male student who bumped into Jonea. "You are standing in the middle of the road and getting in the way of others!"
Jonea was annoyed but immediately stood up straight and turned to the figure.
The student was silent and pale when he looked at Jonea.
"You-"
He wanted to say something but stopped when he glanced at the circumstances around him. He became nervous and quickly left Jonea.
Jonea clenched her fists. "So… he knows Miller? Oh, he's Michael. Miller's classmate and roommate in the dormitory. How could I forget? Even though I had memorized the photo and the name. Wait!"
Michael walked very fast. He tried to avoid Jonea, who disguised himself as Miller.
Jonea chased Michael though with a faltering step. She lost track after the young man turned into one of the buildings.
Jonea stopped short of breath. Some students teased and looked at Jonea contemptuously. They made fun of her like disgusting shit. Jonea ignored everyone's cynical looks and kept walking, looking for Michael.
When Jonea crossed one of the doorways, something suddenly shot toward her. It was thrown by someone.
"Rotten eggs?"
Jonea stared at the egg that flew right into her face.
Michael entered his classroom nervously. He didn't want to meet Miller. However, Michael hesitated a little when he entered the classroom because the school was quiet. There are no students at all. There is only him alone.He walked towards his desk. Michael's wide steps suddenly stopped when he found his desk covered with red paint streaks. Michael's face turned pale. He recoiled in fright. He looked around to ensure the red paint wasn't meant for him."Fuck!" muttered Michael.He immediately ran away. When he opened the door, Michael's steps were again hampered. His classmates were already blocking the front door. He couldn't escape. Even along the hallway in front of the class, students from other classes were already crowding. Word of the red paint had spread throughout the school."Where are you running?" quipped one of the students. "You think you can escape from here? That red paint is already targeting you."Michael recoiled in fright. His legs and hands were trembling violent
"Sorry, we didn't mean anything bad.""Who are you?" Jonea shouted, pushing the door hard to keep the scary man away."We are only representatives of the Abraham Foundation. It may be too late to arrive, but it is urgent."When she heard the name Abraham Foundation, Jonea's hand suddenly relaxed. She hated them all but, at the same time, was curious about the purpose of their arrival this time.The man who stretched out his leg to hold the door immediately straightened up. He smoothed back his wrinkled suit. He reached out to one of his colleagues and received a parcel to be handed over to Jonea."We only came to represent the Director to thank you for your efforts to prevent chaos at school. The Director also thanks you for saving our school's reputation and future. Thus, she entrusted this small gift."Jonea was surprised. She only glanced at the parcel given by the man."Present? Reputation? Is that all you guys think about? What have you guys done for Miller—I mean to protect my r
Jonea recoiled in fright. She was groping for anything she could use as a grip. Until her hands felt the rough and fibrous tree trunk, and Jonea realized she was standing in the middle of nowhere. Her foot tripped over a tree root."W-what is that?" Jonea screamed as a large grey wolf jumped at her.The girl fell and lay on the surface of fallen leaves, almost rotting. Her hands gripped the damp forest ground.The large grey wolf had dense fur. The pattern of his fur is partially grey. In some parts, it has a darker colour close to black, such as on the neck and nape. He had bluish-grey eyes that flashed sharply.The wolf lunged at Jonea and pinned the girl's chest to the ground with its two front legs. His front snout is right opposite Jonea's tiny nose. It took Jonea a few seconds of silence to realize her dire situation."Aarrhhh!"The girl flailed her hands to avoid the wolf's long muzzle attack. She screamed in fear. Jonea's legs kicked the leaves and the ground. She tried to esc
Hunter Abraham stood right in front of Jonea with his tall body. Jonea estimates that the young man's height is around 185 cm. He had to look up because Jonea's height was only 170. He was tall enough for a girl but looked short for a man. 'Hunter, what does he want from me?' Jonea wondered. 'Is he surprised to see Miller back at school doing well?' Jonea silently clenched her fists. 'I shouldn't be intimidated by this delinquent student. Maybe it was Hunter, the other members of B4, or maybe they were all the perpetrators of Miller's bullying. Until I actually find evidence and witnesses, I will hold back.' The students gathered there stared at Jonea only because Hunter stood before the girl. 'Miller!' Jonea screamed in her heart. 'They think I'm Miller! There is no way they would suspect me of being a fake Miller.' "You have three seconds!" said Hunter coldly. Those words were not aimed at Jonea but at the students standing beside Jonea. Hunter immediately turned to the male s
"Aland Hamilton?" Jonea shrieked in surprise when she saw Aland suddenly standing behind her. "You're such a pain, Glasses Boy!" said Aland indifferently. Aland stretched lazily and walked up to Jonea. "I can't sleep because you're so loud." Jonea swallowed hard. She took a step back to keep Aland Hamilton at bay. Jonea clenched her fists and put up a stance to protect herself in case Aland was going to beat her. Aland instead stood relaxed as he slipped his hands into his trouser pockets. "Are you sure about what you say?" "What do you mean?" Jonea trembled all of a sudden, but she played herself brave and defiant. Jonea has prepared physically and mentally to face any attack from Miller's enemies at this school. But, for some reason, when Jonea had to face Aland Hamilton head-on, suddenly, Jonea's chest beat fast. 'It felt so different when I faced Hunter. Hunter always pisses me off. But, Aland….' Aland suddenly lowered his head and brought his face closer to Jonea. Aland's e
"Ah, sorry. I shouldn't bother you. I've been too presumptuous to talk to you. Even though I know you don't like people who talk a lot. I go first!" The male student suddenly stood up, cleaned up his lunch, and left Jonea alone. "Hey!" shouted Jonea. "Wait, what's your name?" The student didn't listen. Lunchtime is over. Jonea rushed back to her class. However, when she reached the hallway leading to the classroom, she noticed that there was a crowd there. Hunter just returned from the gym with members of B4. His clothes were wet with sweat. He strolled while joking with Ed. Behind him were Aland and Elmar, who were also talking. A student suddenly blocked Hunter's steps. "Hunter," said the girl with a shy face. The other students who happened to be there immediately realized something interesting would happen. They all immediately gathered around the Hunter and the girl. With a tired face and partly wet hair, Hunter responded lazily to the girl. "What do you want?" Suddenly
Jonea actually knelt in front of the Hunter. The girl's expression was angry, and her eyes flashed with a vengeance. "You think humans are slaves to werewolves and spoiled rich kids like you? Do not dream! From the beginning, humans were created to be leaders on this earth.” "What did you say?" Hunter smiled sarcastically when he heard Jonea's bold narrative. Hunter lifted his leg and landed on Jonea's left shoulder. "Lick!" Jonea raised her head and looked Hunter straight in the eyes. Suddenly the girl grabbed Hunter's ankle and twisted him. Hunter screamed in pain. Jonea butted Hunter's stomach with her head and both hands when she could. Hunter fell backwards and hit his head on the melted ice cream on the grass. Jonea stood up straight with a big grin. She felt satisfied because she managed to take down Axel. The girl clapped her hands as if full of dirt after touching Hunter's body. Axel was stunned. He didn't think Jonea would do something so crazy. Meanwhile, the other thr
Early in the morning, Jonea came out of her dorm room. At the door, she was already greeted by many students. They all stared at Jonea coldly. 'What's wrong?' Jonea thought. The girl shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. Jonea turned around and was about to close the door. However, Jonea's eyes widened when something was scrawled on the dorm room door. The red spray paint was written in big letters on her bedroom door. "B4!" Jonea hissed while holding the door handle very firmly. "That's the symbol!" shouted a student. "The symbol this time is for a student from the second year—Miller Fallon." "Students of Dorm 3 got the red symbol from B4!" shouted another. Jonea turned her head to look at the students clustered behind her. They all suddenly ran away while shouting that Jonea had just gotten a red symbol in front of her dormitory door. "What the heck are they? How childish." Jonea was annoyed and punched the door repeatedly until it vibrated. She had woken up late and now had
"Hunter?" Jonea was surprised. "Sorry, Jonea. My stupidity should not be forgiven. I always come late. I hope what I did at the last second didn't disappoint you." Jonea took Hunter's helping hand. The young man picked up Jonea and helped her out of the front of the truck. "Bring the leader of this rebel army to me!" shouted Hunter to his men. The masked man was forced to kneel in front of the Hunter. Hunter pulled the man's mask off and hit him hard. Jonea, who was standing behind Hunter, immediately looked away. Miller was already conscious even though the condition of his muscles which had been numb, had not fully recovered. "Why are you still hunting down the Fallon family? You heard the leadership of the Abraham Pack passed into my hands. Cassandra Abraham is no longer in power. I've even sent him into exile! Who gave you the order this time?" Jonea was stunned to hear that. 'So, Hunter really fulfilled his promise. He got rid of and punished his mother. Then, what about m
Aland glanced at Miller and nodded briefly. Aland commanded his troops to prepare to face the special forces sent by Mrs. Abraham.They all didn't care, even though Ares Abraham had announced that the leadership of Pack Abraham had now been taken over by Hunter Abraham. The special forces consist of trained people. They were personally recruited by Mrs. Abraham. Most of them are criminals and dangerous criminals."Jonea, seek shelter!" asked Aland."You asked me to hide? Do you think I'm a weak girl who needs protection? Do not dream. I will also join the fight with you!"Aland shook his head."You stubborn!" said Aland and Miller together. They were silent for a moment, then laughed together."What are you guys laughing at?" reprimanded the special forces leader, who felt offended.The special forces simultaneously turned into wolves.Aland and the leader of the special forces are now facing each other. The fight is done traditionally, like a fight between two groups of wolves. The t
"We've found Miller Fallon!" one of the warriors reported to Mrs. Abraham via radio telecommunications."Take Miller back to base. Did you guys find the twin sister too?""Yes, Alpha. The girl was with Aland Hamilton. What should we do with these two people?""Get rid of–"Bang!Before Mrs. Abraham had finished giving orders to her men, who had managed to surround and arrest Miller and Jonea, Hunter had entered the main tent and cut off the telecommunications line.Mrs. Abraham was surprised to see Hunter's sudden appearance."How did you get here? Have you recovered from your drunkenness?""Stop all these games, Mom! You've gone too far.""Why did you suddenly appear and oppose me? After all this time, you have always complied with all my requests and words, Hunter? I did all this for your future. Later you will inherit all this leadership. You will replace me as Alpha King."The two bodyguards who protected Mrs. Abraham approached when they saw Hunter's reaction, who was so angry an
The werewolf squad sent by Mrs. Abraham arrives at the shack where the Fallon family is hiding. They surrounded the hut from all sides. There are quite a number of them.Meanwhile, the hut was only guarded by two warriors from the Hamilton Pack. The two guards glanced at each other and smiled knowingly."We must protect this family even if our lives are at stake."The colleague nodded. "This is a dedication to our oath of allegiance to Aland Hamilton."The leader of the raid squad was approaching the hut."Leave the Fallon family to us! It's useless to dodge. This place is surrounded, and there is no way you can fight us."One of the hut keepers approached. "Perhaps you misunderstood. There was no Fallon family in this hut. There are only the two of us here.""You want to die?""You are free to kill us if indeed we are lying. But, it is just the two of us in this hut."The leader of the raid troops raised his hand to order two of his men to enter and inspect the hut.The two warriors
Jonea and Miller opened the notebook together. The paper inside looks so yellow that it's almost brownish. It was a notebook written by hand using special ink."What is this, Mom?""That is the only inheritance left by your birth parents."It's like being struck by lightning on a sunny day. They did not know they were not Mr. and Mrs. Fallon's biological children.Both Miller and Jonea thought that Mr. and Mrs. Fallon might actually be a lycan couple hiding their identities. Absolutely unthinkable if they are just adopted children."That book contains your family tree. On the last page, you will find out the names of your parents and who they really are."Jonea and Miller actually flipped to the last page. There are a pair of male and female names on it. The character looks so beautiful and foreign at the same time."Who are these two people, Mom?" Miller asked."Alarick Rawling and Bessie Raff? They are your biological father and mother."Mrs. Fallon tried to smile even though she wa
"Calm yourself first, Jonea. I'm sure they're fine.""What did you say? You say you're sure they're all right? Does that mean you haven't met and seen their situation firsthand?"Jonea was about to run, but Miller held her back."I'm looking for our parents to the village around the forest. I found their trail. So, I'm sure they are fine now and are hiding in a safe place.""Then let's go find your parents now." Aland suddenly appeared behind them.It's almost morning. They left the forest and headed for the nearby villages. Miller managed to follow in the footsteps of his parents. However, the trail disappeared once they were out of the forest."Of course, they erased and hid the tracks," Jonea commented. "If not, of course, the hunters will catch them.""Do any of you have any ideas? Where do you think your parents will hide in a situation like this? I don't think they would leave you guys without a clue." Aland gave his opinion.Jonea and Miller exchanged glances."Of course, there
"Then what do you think I can do? I'm even just an Alpha display in my pack. It looks like they think of me as a powerful Alpha on the outside, but my mother is actually the Alpha.""Listen to me carefully, Hunter. My chance to talk to you is only this time. Before the guards took you back to the prison, your mother created."The two bodyguards who had come to the bar with Hunter approached them. One of the bodyguards even tried to get Elmar away from Hunter."It's okay; he just wants to go to the toilet. I will help him walk. I also want to go to the toilet." Elmar supported Hunter's arm on his shoulder. "You guys just wait here."Elmar literally took Hunter in his arms and helped him to the toilet. The two bodyguards couldn't believe it. One followed behind and even watched at the door as Elmar and Hunter entered the men's room together.When they were alone in the toilet, Hunter returned to being himself. He is no longer drunk. No matter how much alcohol he downed, Hunter was still
"Joea, come with me. We're leaving here. We could go to Auckland until we find a comfortable place to live.”Aland's eyes twinkled with hope. He rubbed the top of Jonea's head gently and lovingly."You can go back to school there. I can continue my studies and work. Can we live in the suburbs or work as farmers? I have a plot of farmland and ranch that we can manage together."Aland whispered those sweet words in Jonea's ear after marking the girl as his."Right now, we are in a race against time. Blue Sapphire's condition is not good. It was only a matter of time before the rebels might fight back with much greater strength. Constantly hiding in the forest is not the right choice."Jonea looked back at Aland with a big smile and was satisfied."Sounds so cool and so perfect. It's as if everything you mentioned is like a dream to me."Aland's face suddenly turned sombre."I want to!" said Jonea. "Of course, I want to live happily with you, with the people I love. However, leaving the
Jonea let go of Aland's hand and went to Miller's side."I'm sorry, Aland. I must come with Miller to check on my parents at camp."Aland clenched his fists and swung his fists in the air. "Okay, we will go there together."Aland whistled for his comrades and subordinates. It was then that several young men and women appeared carrying their bags of supplies. The warriors and hunters gathered around the river.Jonea was a bit surprised because she didn't notice their presence earlier. Miller was being so wary."How did you manage to hide your whereabouts? I can't even get a whiff of your presence at all.""We train ourselves," Aland replied. "Because we also don't want to stand out after leaving the city life."Aland turned to his men. "Secure the roads and the surrounding area. We're going to camp to find Jonea's parents."They all bowed and received Aland's command by turning and crossing one arm over their chest.Miller took the lead at the front. Meanwhile, Aland walked beside Jone
