LOGINI mechanically repeated the CPR and mouth-to-mouth procedures, the werewolf strength surging inside me nearly depleted.My hands began to tremble, and cold sweat trickled down my forehead, but I couldn’t stop.The surrounding noise gradually quieted, and even Jevon, who had just been revived, was watching me quietly from the side.After a while, he probably realized there was no hope left. As a werewolf, he was especially sensitive to the life force of his pack, and he could sense that Nydia’s life force was fading. He took a step forward, extending his hand towards me, his tone tinged with reluctance: “Enough... she’s already...”“Cough, cough...”Before he could finish his sentence, Nydia suddenly coughed violently, her chest slightly rising and falling.I immediately stopped and watched as her blurred eyes slowly opened. Her lips moved, but no sound came out—her throat had been scorched by t
There were no open flames in the bathroom, but the air was thin, and thick smoke had seeped in.I could vaguely make out a figure inside. As I got closer, I realized it was Jevon, slumped against the wall, his face pale, and it looked like he was about to pass out from lack of oxygen.He heard my footsteps and looked at me with confusion in his eyes, as if he thought he was hallucinating.But in the next moment, I lifted my foot and kicked the door hard. With a loud "bang," the door flew open. I stood in the doorway, with the flickering flames behind me.For a brief moment, I saw a flash of surprise, disbelief, and a hint of confusion in Jevon’s eyes.He probably never expected that it would be me who would rush in to save him.He instinctively reached out, as if hoping I would pull him out, but I ignored him. I only gave him a quick glance before my gaze shifted to Nydia, who was unconscious beside him.My hearing picked up the
The discussion on Reddit was quickly heating up:[Why didn’t she sketch a draft first? How could she know what patterns to stitch without a plan?][This fabric is too good to ruin. It’d be such a waste.][Did she already have the design in her mind?][Speaking of money, I have a question: Mia has so many skills, so why does she wear such cheap clothes?][Maybe she’s just financially struggling? Or maybe she’s trying to confuse us? Ugh, she’s not only rich herself, but she’s also surrounded by wealthy friends!][Mia’s life is my dream.][Hah, you all forgot she’s a werewolf, right? Wolves rely on instincts and senses to hunt. She can easily do quilting by feel; it’s no surprise.][Fuck! Everyone head to Jevon and Lilith’s livestream! Something’s happening!][What happened? Come on, spill it! Why are you leaving us hanging?][Lilith didn’t earn
That chicken leg was her midnight snack—she wasn’t about to hand it over, no matter what.“Jezin, restaurant waiter, $150 per day. You dirtied a guest’s clothes while serving; $50 deduction, leaving you with $100.”“Yvonne, restaurant waiter, $150 per day. Though you didn’t handle the customer issue well, we’ll give you a pass for trying, so you get the full $150.”When Yuna got to Lilith’s name, she glanced at Jevon: “Pianist, $200 per day. However, since you called in sick this morning and left early without completing your tasks, you’re only getting a $50 humanitarian allowance.”She pulled out a $50 bill, but instead of handing it to Jevon, she turned to me. “As per our previous agreement, Mia inherits this money.”I reached out to take the money, a small thrill rushing through me, but before I could fully savor the moment, Yuna continued calling out names
But she probably didn’t notice that Jevon’s expression was far from pleasant.He watched as I was surrounded by Yvonne and Goselle, with all the cameras aimed at me, even the guests in the restaurant praising me, while he—the Oscar-winning actor, heir to the alpha bloodline of Eternity Pack—stood there like a ghost, completely invisible.It took him a while to suppress his emotions before speaking up, his voice stiff: “The situation is resolved, everyone, go back to your posts and continue working.”Reluctantly, the crowd dispersed. In the corner, the attendant Jezin finally let out a breath—probably relieved that he hadn’t been the one to insult me first, or else he would have had to face the humiliation.Lilith returned to the piano, resuming her role as the “background music tool,” but perhaps because her mood was too foul, she started making mistakes after only a few notes.It wasn&rsq
The real-time translation on my phone should help her understand, and sure enough, when she saw the sudden shift in my attitude, a look of displeasure appeared on her face."Then play it yourself," she challenged. "If you can't, I want all of you to kneel and apologize!"In the werewolf world, kneeling is the greatest disgrace—a sign of submission and defeat, even more shameful than death itself.As her words fell, Lilith suddenly grabbed my sleeve, her eyes red, her voice filled with concern:"Mia, maybe we should just let it go. We're live-streaming, we can't kneel and apologize. Let's just apologize to her properly, and we can forget about this. I've never played that song since I was a kid, and you grew up in the slums—there's no way you could play it. We can talk to Yuna, she’ll figure it out. Please don't drag everyone into this."Her little scheme was crystal clear. Lilith just wanted to use me as a shield—after all,
