Semua Bab The Moon Shadow: Bab 1 - Bab 10

I hardly slept a wink that night. Throughout the entire evening, my mind replayed all the things he had done to me in the past year, filling my heart with anger, regret, and resentment. ‘Just break up with him, and everything will be fine,’ I kept consoling myself, attempting to calm down, but with little success. The next morning, my mother's call roused me from sleep. I glanced at my phone and cursed under my breath; it was only six in the morning, and I had barely slept for an hour. There was a birthday message from Aunt Mary with a kiss emoji. I quickly replied with a kiss emoji back. Dragging myself to the bathroom with messy hair and heavy footsteps, I looked in the mirror and almost thought I had seen a ghost. My face was pale, dark circles marred my eyes, and my lips were devoid of color. Oh, my goodness, what happened to me! "Hey, girl! Stop dawdling; you have a date with Drake today!" Mother's voice echoed from upstairs. "Coming!" I shouted back at the door. After fresh

Before I figured out what would happen, my legs were already sprinting with all their might. "Let's play hide and seek, bitch. I'll give you five seconds to run as far as you can and hide. Don't let me catch you, otherwise, ahahaha!" I could hear his demonic laughter echoing from behind. I pushed myself to run, even until my legs felt numb, and I could hardly feel their existence. I ran towards the distant training ground where the soldiers' chants faintly reached my ears. "Fight for survival! Fight for the family! Fight for freedom!" The wind howled in my ears, followed by the sound of Drake's footsteps closing in from behind. Panic surged through me, my breathing became erratic. At this moment, the training ground was still about two or three hundred meters away, while Drake was now less than twenty meters behind me, I guessed. The situation was dire, and I shouted for help with all my might, hoping the soldiers at the training ground would hear me. But my voice was drowned out by

On Monday morning, we had literature class and math class. Susie and I went to our lockers to get our books and agreed to meet at the cafeteria during lunch. Then, we headed towards our respective classrooms. I was in the same class as Janet and Karen, while Susie and Drake were in another class. I used to dream about being in the same class as Drake, but looking back, it's actually fortunate that we aren't together. However, being stuck with Janet and Karen is just my bad luck.As I entered the classroom, I deliberately chose a seat in the far corner, hoping not to draw any attention. However, it didn't take long before Janet and Karen strolled in, making a grand entrance. Janet was tall and slender, wearing a blue plaid button-down shirt and a gray pleated skirt, with a dark red headband holding her shiny golden straight hair. Karen was smaller in stature, donning a blue body-hugging dress, which I thought didn't match well with her deep brown curls. Janet sauntered through the room

Throughout my life, the most well-known label attached to me has been that of a bookworm. Every weekend, I'd rather go to the library than bother attending parties. In every subject test, I would score an A. My peers mocked me for being dull and uninteresting, but I never bothered to respond to their taunts. For most of them, whether they could go to college or not didn't matter much. As werewolves, their top priorities were finding their mates, mating, and having children. They followed the guidance of the Moon Goddess and dutifully performed their assigned roles. Alphas led the pack, Betas assisted Alphas in managing the pack, soldiers were responsible for recruitment and warfare, and Omegas did the laborious work. For thousands of years, the werewolf pack strictly adhered to this set of rules. However, I had my own dreams. I didn't want to be trapped in this small pack forever; I had my own plans. My dream was to become an excellent doctor, capable of bringing people back from the

In the following week, Drake didn't show up again. Life became particularly easy for me. I had no time to think about him; I had my own things to do. Every day after school, I would stay in the school library and study until eleven o'clock before going home. Susie was worried about my safety and wanted to stay with me, but I refused. I didn't want her to sit in the library and idle away until late at night just to accompany me.Now, there was no one in the library except for me and the librarian. I packed my things and prepared to leave. As I stepped out of the library building, the evening breeze brushed against my exposed skin, sending shivers down my spine. In the dim corner, there stood a figure, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. I fumbled along the wall and found the switch for the porch light. As the light came on, I could make out the person—it was Drake. He stood there quietly, looking more haggard than before, and his sinister expression sent chills down my spin
