Poppy snapped her fingers. “I know exactly what I need to do to get back at them,” she whispered, convinced that her idea was brilliant.“For now, I think it’s better if I just keep an eye on them first,” Poppy continued as she picked up her binoculars again.All afternoon, Poppy watched Samantha and her group.When night was almost upon them, Poppy finally left to go to the public bathhouse.She didn’t want her other friends to get suspicious, so Poppy hurried away from there.Luckily, the public bathhouse wasn’t too crowded that afternoon, so Poppy was able to return to her yard before the sky turned completely dark.When Poppy opened the gate leading to her yard, she could smel

“Should we do it?” A grin spread across Poppy’s face.“Let’s get them back! It’s time for you to get even, you can’t just sit back and do nothing, Poppy!” Lily eagerly urged Poppy to seek revenge.Poppy laughed as she gently patted the top of Lily’s head, then pulled her back to sit beside her.“I’ll think about it,” Poppy replied, still chuckling.“So, what did you two do while we were gone?” Poppy continued, asking Lily and Jason.Lily and Jason then exchanged glances.Poppy could see a hint of hesitation in their eyes, as if there was something they wanted to say but were unsure about.“What is it? Don’t be so hesitant, you know I won’t get mad at you,” Poppy said again.“Hmm… actually…” Lily nervously tapped her fingernails.Seeing how hesitant Lily was to speak, Jason finally took over.“Lily plans to open a food shop. Earlier, some neighbors approached me and said they wanted to try the food I make,” Jason finally said.“They liked my cooking and said that if I sold it, it would

“Are you sure something like that actually happened?”“Wouldn’t that be going too far if it really did happen?”“I’m sure the base wouldn’t be happy if they found out about something like this.”Evander and Poppy exchanged glances as they watched the reaction of the assault unit members.Poppy gave a faint, sly smile; she wasn’t going to let Irene get away with this one.Poppy tried to squeeze out a tear or two for dramatic effect.“I never expected Irene to hurt me like that,” Poppy replied, sniffling.“Miss, don’t worry. We’ll accompany you to report this to headquarters.”“That’s right;

“Don’t just stand there. We have to get out of here fast!”The members of the assault unit urged Evander to leave immediately.It wasn’t that Evander didn’t want to flee; he was just panicking because Poppy hadn’t regained consciousness.Finally, Evander wrapped his arm around Poppy’s neck.Slowly, Evander’s hands reached for Poppy’s waist and began pulling her to her feet.While supporting Poppy, Evander followed the members of the assault unit.They returned to the base’s entrance gate, but it was already locked from the inside.“This time they’ve locked the gate too.”“At the earliest, t

“You bastards! Watch out, I won't let this go!” Evander roared angrily at Irene and Kevin, who didn't seem to feel guilty at all.Evander rushed to chase after the Ogre, who was already running away with Poppy. He couldn't just let Poppy be kidnapped by that monster.Irene, who saw Evander leave, began waving her hand in the direction Evander went while mocking him.“Huh! He thinks he can do something to us? Seeing him now makes me even more annoyed.” Irene pouted in frustration, folding one arm across her waist.Kevin, who was standing next to Irene, embraced her affectionately, “Sooner or later they will die, so you don't have to worry. I'm sure Samantha will be satisfied after hearing this.”“Come on, let's go. These monsters make me sick,” replied Irene, turning to Kevin with a bored look on her face.The situation outside the walls was chaotic, with many people running for their lives into the base. The roars of the monsters near them grew louder.Due to the chaos, no one noticed

“What, there's another wall behind this one?” Poppy was confused when she and the other workers stepped out from behind the wall.“That's right, it's to prevent the monsters from breaking into the base,” Evander replied softly.To be honest, it was the first time Evander had seen the outer wall because it was not usually this visible.And that was when they saw the outer wall, which was completely destroyed. It turned out that this was where they would be working for the next few days.The foreman supervising the workers could be heard shouting at them to hurry up and start building. Poppy realized that they had been divided into several groups to speed up the work.Poppy looked around and realized that there were more than a dozen people on their side of the wall.“Why are you just standing there! Hurry up and get to work!”The foreman's voice was loud, and although the other workers were unhappy, they remained silent and obeyed the foreman's orders.Poppy, who was lifting stones, gl

Roxanne’s POVI woke up in the middle of the forest, and at that moment, I realized this was my dream. Since I had grown used to strange nightmares, I was no longer surprised when I woke up in unusual places like this.The sound of footsteps echoed in the distance. I turned around, but all I could see was mist, so I slowly walked closer to it.“Where exactly is this?” I whispered softly, seeing nothing of significance here.Suddenly, a gust of wind slapped against my face, forcing me to stumble three steps back.Moments later, shadows of people appeared, chasing one another. Their figures ran right through my body as if I were nothing more than a transparent ghost.My eyes widened in shock when I recog

Roxanne’s POVBecause of Alpha Theodore’s previous order, I had to stay in the pack house for the next week. At first, Alpha Theodore didn’t allow me to leave my room and told me to rest inside.Since I grew too bored being confined there, I often sneaked out. Eventually, Alpha relented and permitted me to spend some time outside of my room.“Xena, why have I been having nightmares more often lately? Do you know anything?” I asked as I lounged on the sofa near the window, gazing out at the flower garden.‘Don’t you usually have nightmares anyway?’ Xena furrowed her brows, confused.“Yes, I do. But this time… it feels different.”My eyes drifted to the bri

Roxanne POVAt first, everything went smoothly, until suddenly a vision pierced into my head. It felt as if I was being pulled into the future.Destruction, that was all I saw. As far as my eyes could reach, there was nothing but blazing fire, devouring everything in its path.Piercing cries echoed, the faint howls of wolves mixing with the roar of the flames that swallowed everything before them. My breath hitched at the sight.The vision only lasted for a few seconds, but my body swayed weakly as I realized what I had just seen.“Roxanne? What’s happening to you?”I heard Theodore’s deep voice at my side, and only then did I realize that my body was already being held up by Alpha Theodore.

Roxanne’s POVHonestly, I was pretty nervous about attending tonight’s event, especially since it was explicitly held to welcome me into this pack. Additionally, I had no idea what would actually happen there.Even though I knew Theodore needed my blood so I could officially join, I had never done anything like this before, and that made me anxious.I twisted the hem of the dress I was wearing, hoping it would ease the nerves fluttering inside me.At last, I heard the sound of a car pulling up outside, and my heart began to pound harder with each beat. Xena, who clearly sensed my nervousness, spoke softly to calm me.‘Roxanne, relax. I’m here with you, so you don’t need to worry.’ Xena whispered gently, soothing my restless heart.“Huff… Please, let me get through tonight.” I closed my eyes, praying silently to the Moon Goddess that nothing bad would happen this evening.Then came the sound of knocking at my door. Slowly, I opened my eyes, exhaled a shaky breath, and rose to my feet.

Roxanne’s POVWhen I went jogging this morning and the sunlight began to shine brightly, I realized that the Gold Dream Pack was truly located right in the middle of the human city. The pack looked so vast, with rows of houses stretching along every block.The cool morning breeze calmed me, easing the weight of the nightmare that had kept me awake last night. Even so, I couldn’t just forget that dream.“I hope it was just a dream,” I murmured, trying to be optimistic, then continued my steps, eager to explore this pack.Along one of the streets, I noticed a café displaying a sign that they were hiring. I realized that I couldn’t rely on Theodore forever. Like it or not, I had to start rebuilding my life.I glanced at the café’s name, trying to memorize it. It looked stylish, a place perfect for young people to gather. Since it was only six in the morning, they weren’t open yet.“Maybe I should come back here later this afternoon. Hopefully, they’ll accept me.” Currently, my top priori

Roxanne POVIt took us about six hours to finally reach Theodore’s pack. I had fallen asleep since it was already late, but then I felt someone touching me, and it instantly jolted me awake.My breath came in short gasps, and I quickly pulled myself back, feeling deeply uncomfortable at the sensation of someone’s hand on me.But when I looked up, I realized it was Theodore. He had only meant to wake me because we had arrived.“Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you. We’re here,” Theodore said as he pulled his hand away from me.I immediately turned toward the car window, and sure enough, we were already in front of a grand house that looked like a luxurious mansion. Because it was night, what caught my attention most was the warm glow of lights around the place.Still half-dazed from waking, I didn’t pay much attention to the details surrounding the mansion. What I did notice was the sound of the cold night wind whistling fiercely through the air.Somehow, I suddenly felt awkward around
