At the backstage. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement and anticipation as all the ballerinas were busy retouching their makeup before performing. They all couldn't help but be excited because today, they were gonna have a sudden big performance that may change their fate. “Hey, I heard that the performance this time was different. There will be a special guest. this time.” “A special guest? Who? Is it Edard Collen?” “No, but way better than that. It's the Burkley, and not just the old one but this time, his son also came too! They’re going to watch the academy performance as they want to hire some of us to perform at the Grand Party. The rumor stated that they were going to have a sudden grand party as the son’s time was almost up, and they needed to find him a mate soon for only Goddess knew the reason. There was even speculation that the son might choose a mate among the performers since he is pretty picky, and had high standards.” “What? Really?! Well, if that’s the case, t
The stage now hummed more than before as the ballerinas readied themselves to take their positions for the performance. Amid the hustle, there was one spot that remain glaringly vacant, and that was, Brianna’s. ***BRAK!!! “What do you mean by saying that I couldn’t perform? I was hired here to be a performer! How come you only cancel me at the last minute?!” Brianna said, her voice laced with anger. Her grip tightened on the desk as she shot an intense gaze at the staff behind the mask. However the staff didn’t seem dismissive about it, he even replied with a nonchalant tone as if her complaints were not important. “So what if we were canceling you?” the staff asked. “It’s not like we were firing you or doing something worse. We just canceled your performance, that’s all! If you need transport money, we can send you—” “MONEY IS NOT THE PROBLEM HERE!” Brianna’s voice rose in frustration. “What I want to talk in here is about your professionalism! How come you canceled me, on D-da
BRAK!!!“When it’s done, I will call you. Just make sure to stand by. The rehearsal shouldn’t be that long.”“Alright.”BBBRRRRRRRRMMMM!!!As the car was already out of sight, just then Daniel approached Jack, who stood before the grand academy’s entrance. The Alpha’s eyes were fixated on the ornate sign proclaiming ‘Elegance in Motion’ and there was an involuntary clench on his jaw, a manifestation of frustration masked by an air of indifference.Seeing Jack’s turmoil, Daniel couldn’t help but sigh as he began to venture. “Until when are you going to stand like this, Jack?” he said. “Aren’t you going to come in, and finish this fast?”Jack’s gaze still lingered on the academy, before a crooked smile played on his lips, and his tongue clicked once more. "Until now, I still can't believe it. How come that old geek still hasn't given up, forcing me into this crazy idea? Even after leaving the mansion, he's still as childish as ever."Why won't he hold a ball, and find a mate for hims
Brianna now stood in the dimly lit corridor, her emotions swirling like a turbulent storm. The weight of Laney’s words hung heavily, and she struggled to process the sudden turn of events.The academy, once her sanctuary, and filled with hope for her already ruined future, now felt like a cold and unwelcome place.“Look, Brianna,” Laney sighed, her voice a mix of regret and resignation. The elder Alpha, places a comforting hand on her shoulder, attempting to convey empathy. “I know that this decision must be hard for you, but it was also hard for me too, and now, the academy is falling, and…I need to save it, by…”“Being focused more on looks, than skill?” Brianna asked, her eyes filled with mixture and disbelief as she bore into Laney’s. “How come you suddenly think about that… Like okay, you want to save the academy, but you can’t just suddenly terminate the contract like this. We had an agreement, and you’re the one who gave me the idea to wear the mask!You can’t just randomly te
The Omega took a step back, as she saw the man before her. His aura, his scent, there was no mistaking, he is definitely….“A rogue,” Brianna muttered under her breath, her eyes widening as she realized the danger before her, and without much hesitation, the Omega turned around and began to run.However, before she could make it far, another rogue suddenly appeared from behind the wall and blocked her way, followed by another two from both sides. Brianna found herself cornered, surrounded by a group of rogues whose intentions were anything but benign.Realizing the dire situation, the Omega fell into a tense silence as her mind raced for an escape plan. She silently rifled through her bag, searching for the pepper spray that she always keeps for emergencies, but then she decided to not take it out, as she realized that it was useless since the number of the rogue was too much for self defense.“Should I just turn to a wolf? It’s been a while since I changed into one, and it definitely
DRAP! DRAP! DRAP! The afternoon air that should be chill now hung with heavy tension as Jack sprinted to the deserted streets. His sharp eyes darted around the whole streets, hoping to catch a glimpse of the red haired Omega who had long run from the academy with tears streaming down her face. As Jack navigated through the silent alleys, the Alpha's sense heightened as he searched for any trace of the pregnant Omega. “Money scent…Fish scent…Garbage scent…Ugh, why is there no scent of her?” Jack mused as he kept running. He didn’t even smell the scent of milk which made it more possible to find her as the milk itself was the scent of a pregnant wolf. After hours of relentless pursuit, Jack found himself reaching a dead end. All the places that his subordinate had provided, from the grocery stores to the academy, had already been looked by him, yet the Alpha still had found no luck in finding her. It was as if Brianna had vanished into thin air as soon as she left the academy. Fe
Back with Brianna.BRUK!!“Kainggg!!!”Brianna shut her eyes tightly when she heard other gruesome sounds from the rogue. The Alpha just sank his teeth into their neck. The alley was plunged into chaos, and the scent of sickening blood mixed with fur filled the air. The primal symphony of snarls, growls, and yelps echoed through the narrow alleyways, creating a cacophony of primal fury.As Brianna cautiously opened her eyes, she witnessed the Alpha’s power in action. His movements were a dance of lethal precision. Each strike was calculated to subdue the rogues who had threatened her. The rogue leader, seemingly aware that they mess with the wrong wolf, attempted to retreat, but the Alpha pursued relentlessly, and he immediately chased him.“Ah—I’m so sorry, Alpha! I didn’t know that the Omega was yours. P-Please, spar—ACKH!!!”KRAK!Without waiting for his mighty last words, the Alpha with his swift movement, lunged into him. Sinking his teeth into its vulnerable neck, which made ano
The day was already late as Brianna, Dr. Lash, and Daniel found themselves on the front terrace. The silence that settled between them was only broken by the distant sound of the night. Dr. Lash, breaking the quietude, cleared his throat, saying, “Okay, I think it’s already time for me to go. Please make sure that Jack drinks his medicine and gets plenty of bed rest. If there’s something wrong with him, don’t hesitate to call me.” Brianna gave a small smile. “Okay, thank you, Dr. Lash,” she said. The doctor nodded, and with a final look, he turned away, disappearing into the night. As the doctor left, Daniel, still with worry latched on his face, shifted as he turned to Brianna. “Well, I also have to go now. Thank you for answering my call and telling me to come after the rogue accident. I'm... really glad that you did that.” “That's fine, it should be me the one who thanks you for coming and helping us,” Brianna replied, with a small smile Daniel hesitated for a moment, his gaze
