-Andrew-

Seeing and hearing Eva say those words to me made me briefly think of Gary. But this wasnโ€™t about some horrible obsession; it was pure desperation.

โ€œNo,โ€ was the first word I said, a firm rejection that made Eva flinch.

โ€œBโ€”but, Andrewโ€ฆ Iโ€™d be able to protect myself if I became a lycan like you all.โ€

I shook my head. โ€œThatโ€™s not how it works, Ev.โ€

โ€œAndrewโ€”โ€

I pointed sharply at the door, my eyes wide. A flash of guilt hit me as my action startled Eva, but I continued anyway.

โ€œYouโ€™ve seen how Corrine struggles to live her life as a werewolf, havenโ€™t you, Ev? She was born a shapeshifter, yet that doesnโ€™t automatically mean sheโ€™s great at fighting or can protect herself all the time. Becoming like meโ€”like Corrineโ€”wonโ€™t magically solve all your problems. Youโ€™ll only fall deeper into the dark side of this world.โ€

Evaโ€™s mouth opened and closed, her eyes trembling. She was probably trying to craft a solid argument to counter what I said, but I knew she couldnโ€™t find one.

    -Trevor-โ€œShit,โ€ was the first word that escaped my lips. The next thing I did after cursing was to push Leana off my body. I got up as quickly as I could and ran out of the arena to chase after Eva.My eyes stayed focused ahead, searching for Eva. I could see her back in the distance. She was half-running down the corridor, heading toward the main mansion building. I quickened my pace and caught up to her.โ€œEvโ€”โ€ I said after grabbing her wrist and pulling her, forcing her to turn toward me. โ€œEv, wait. Listenโ€”โ€Eva yanked her hand away and grasped her wrist with her other hand. Her gaze was vacant as she looked at me, and her lips curved into a bitter smile. โ€œCongratulations, Trevor,โ€ she said, her voice trembling.I spread my arms in confusion, frowning. โ€œCongratulations for what?โ€โ€œFor dating the hottest girl in the alliance.โ€โ€œWeโ€™re not dating,โ€ I denied, my tone too insistent, making it sound like I was hiding something.Eva crossed her arms over her chest and scoffed. โ€œOh, so you

    -Corrine-Even though I didnโ€™t want it to, the day I dreaded the most finally came.My heart raced faster as the car carrying me entered Moon Dust territory. Harry and the pack members were waiting for me in the front yard of the Alphaโ€™s house. Well, I wouldnโ€™t exactly call it a welcoming party, since no one smiled when they saw me step out of the car. Even Harry looked more tense than I was.โ€œDad,โ€ I greeted softly, nodding my head. My eyes instinctively darted to his side, and my heart sank with disappointment when I didnโ€™t see my mother there.โ€œYour mom is not feeling well,โ€ my father said. He knew who I was looking for.I pursed my lips and exhaled. I didnโ€™t ask further about her condition because I didnโ€™t want to hear the reason why she was unwell. Iโ€™d bet my life it was because of me.โ€œSoโ€ฆ who are the challengers?โ€ I asked, scanning the warriors and pack members surrounding me.My father shifted awkwardly. โ€œMost of them wanted to challenge you, butโ€”โ€I swallowed hard. *Most of t

    -Corrine-Believe it or not, the first fight was won by me.I had just defeated one of the strongest warriors in Moon Dust. And it wasnโ€™t just me who was surprised; all the packโ€™s members who were present there were stunned, watching as Sam was thrown to the ground after I landed a fatal blow to his chest.Harry counted to ten, but he didnโ€™t get up.โ€œThe first fight is won by Corrine!โ€ he announced, and only Andrew clapped and cheered.โ€œFive minutes break for you, Corrine. After that, youโ€™ll face another candidate,โ€ Harry said then.Sam had returned to his human formโ€”he was still breathing, thank the Moon Goddessโ€”and some people pulled him out of the arena.I walked over to Andrew at the edge of the arena. He unfolded a robe for me, and quickly wrapped it around me the moment I turned back into my human form.โ€œThat was awesome, babe,โ€ he praised, grinning.I returned his grin weakly. He told me to sit down, then handed me a bottle of water, which I chugged in one go.โ€œHe was a tough o

    -Corrine-The scream froze everyone in place, and together they looked back and forth between me and Andrew.โ€œYou cheated!โ€ accused the teenage girl. โ€œYou deliberately distracted us by accepting this fight, and then you had your friends create chaos, didnโ€™t you?!โ€โ€œNo!โ€ I yelled. โ€œI would never use such a cheap trick!โ€โ€œYou are cheap!โ€ the girl shrieked.Rage boiled in my chest. I had been holding back, tolerating her insolent attitude, but I couldnโ€™t take it anymore. I dashed to her and slapped her cheek as hard as I could, making her stagger and nearly fall.โ€œDid your parents not teach you any manners?!โ€I still wanted to hit her again, but a few people ran toward us and separated us before the fight escalated.โ€œThatโ€™s enough, Abby!โ€ shouted Harry, who held the teenage girl back. I remembered her now. Abby. She had always disliked me because Jerome paid more attention to me.โ€œWe should have killed her!โ€ screamed Abby as she struggled in Harryโ€™s grip. โ€œShe only brings trouble to this

    -Corrine-As soon as Gary got me, he blindfolded me and dragged me away from the Moon Dust territory. I knew from the deepening silence that we were getting farther away as I felt my body sway in Garyโ€™s embrace.Thank the Moon Goddess, he didnโ€™t harm me or do anything nasty to me. But I was pretty sure he wouldโ€”sooner or later. He was just waiting for the right place and the right time.โ€œWeโ€™re here, Corrine.โ€ His breath tickled my ear, and I desperately wanted to push him away, but somehow, he made my body go limp. The only thing I could do now was breathe.Slowly, Gary removed the blindfold from my eyes. I blinked a few times, adjusting my vision so I could see my surroundings more clearly.We were now in the middle of a forest. That forest. The one where that stupid glowing plant grew.โ€œSoon, I will change you so we can be together forever. You will become like me.โ€My eyes darted to Gary, and our gazes locked. He seemed to recognize the question in my head as he said, โ€œBefore we ge

    -Andrew-I didnโ€™t know what had happened, but not long after the rogue attack that disrupted the Alpha Moon Dustโ€™s decisive battle, the rogues suddenly withdrew as if they had been defeated.The Moon Dust warriors lined up at the border of the territory, waiting and watching the darkness with ragged breaths and bodies covered in wounds.โ€œIt looks like theyโ€™re not coming back,โ€ said Harry, who was standing beside me.I nodded. โ€œThey only came to create chaos.โ€โ€œLetโ€™s continue the fight.โ€ Harry then signaled to some warriors who hadnโ€™t been involved in the Alpha battle to patrol the borders.That was when I realized something was wrong.โ€œWhereโ€™s Corrine?โ€I turned in all directions, scanning the unfamiliar faces around meโ€”faces that looked back at me with confusion and fear.โ€œCorrine!โ€ I shouted.A bad feeling crept up on me. Something wasnโ€™t right. If Corrine were here, she would have come straight to me the moment the battle ended.Or was she helping someone who was injured?โ€œCorrine!

    -Corrine-As soon as the liquid spilled into my mouth, my body burned in agony. A white-hot pain shot through my throat, and my vision temporarily went blind. I could feel my body shaking violently as Garyโ€™s sinister voice whispered in my ear.โ€œHow does it feel, Corrine? I hope you can bear the pain because I need you alive.โ€I could feel the liquid flowing down into my stomach, and an unbearable pain surged through me, forcing a pained groan from my lips. Then I felt itโ€ฆ and it seemed Gary knew it, too.โ€œIt works.โ€ He flashed me his wicked grin. โ€œThe mark Andrew gave you. The scent he left on youโ€ฆ itโ€™s all gone.โ€โ€œNo.โ€โ€œYes!โ€ Gary pressed my shoulders into the ground while sitting upright on top of me. โ€œI will mark you now, Corrine. You will be mine, and nothing can separate us.โ€My body weakened again, and I teetered on the edge of despair as I struggled against Gary. Everything seemed to move in slow motion as he bent down, pressing his lips to the crook of my neck. He was going to

I squeezed my eyes shut, and I heard Gary scream in pain.The next thing I knew, he was no longer on top of me, and I was able to move my body. It was as if the potionโ€™s effect had completely worn off.I opened my eyes and scanned my surroundings, and then, from the corner of my eye, I saw somethingโ€”a glowing white wolf across the ravine. Even though we were separated by darkness and distance, I could feel its gaze on me.Use your power.I was stunned to hear an unfamiliar yet soothing voice in my headโ€”a female voice.Was sheโ€”?I blinked, and the wolf was gone.โ€œShit! Shit!โ€My attention snapped back to Gary. He was rolling on the grass as if he was attacked by some invisible creatures.For a moment, I just stood there, watching him writhe in agony. Faintly, I heard that voice again, and I immediately shifted. This was the power she meantโ€”my wolf. I would fight until the last drop of

He reached out, silently urging me to come closer.It was difficult to step into the battle arena while wearing a dress and holding a bouquet of roses. When I finally managed to stand before Andrew, I realized he was dressed in a black suit with a matching black shirt.โ€œDid you just come from a funeral?โ€ I asked, frowning.Andrew laughed. โ€œDo I look that miserable? Would you prefer me to wear nothing at all?โ€My face heated instantly. โ€œWhat is this? You scared me.โ€Andrew reached for my free hand, intertwining his pinky finger with mine.โ€œI love you, Corrine,โ€ he said.I blinked, feeling both flustered and confused. โ€œYeahโ€ฆ I know.โ€ I had no idea what to say.

    -Corrine-After talking with my family and Andrew, and after much contemplation, I decided to take a break from college. Everything that had happened left me falling behind, and I couldnโ€™t catch upโ€”not right now.There wasnโ€™t much I did during my time off. I studied to make up for what I had missed and reviewed my lessons. Other than that, I spent my time training with Leana. Day by day, my fighting skills improvedโ€”but so did Leanaโ€™s. So I wasnโ€™t sure when I would actually surpass her. Maybe someday.Everything was normalโ€”almost boring, evenโ€”until one morning when I woke up and found that Andrew was no longer beside me.I reached out across the bed and opened my eyes to an unusual emptiness. Normally, Andrew never left before I woke up. He would always hold me and say good morning.But this time, he wasnโ€™t there.โ€œAndrew?โ€ I turned toward the window, then sat up and scanned the room.The bathroom door was open, and there was no sound from insideโ€”which meant Andrew wasnโ€™t there.Did so

    -Andrew-I stood in front of Rebeccaโ€™s door, a bouquet in my hand. I didnโ€™t know what kind of flowers she liked, so I bought her pink roses.Come to think of it, I knew nothing about my stepmother. We never really talked after my father passed away.โ€œAndrew?โ€I was just about to knock when Rebecca opened the door. We were both surprised, but she looked more shocked than I was.โ€œHey.โ€ I gave a small smile and handed her the flowers.โ€œFor me?โ€ Rebecca looked confused as she took them.I nodded, then observed her appearance. โ€œAre you going somewhere?โ€โ€œYesโ€”โ€ She glanced down at her outfit. โ€œYes!โ€ she answered again, a little louder. โ€œIโ€™m meeting a friend.โ€ Then she looked past me, toward the driveway, as if expecting someone to arrive.โ€œSoโ€ฆ what brings you here?โ€ Rebecca threw an awkward smile. Even though she tried to hide it, I could tell she was uneasyโ€”like my visit was the last thing she wanted.โ€œI want to talk to you.โ€โ€œAbout what?โ€โ€œFather.โ€Rebecca fell silent. โ€œAndrew,โ€ she began

    -Corrine-Trevor had told me everything about his conversation with Eva at Mythic Manor a couple of nights ago. I understood why he made that decision. Eva would be the one most hurt if they stayed together and then, one day, Trevor met his mate.Even though I hated seeing Eva sad, this was the best thing for her.โ€œSo, do you plan on looking for your mate?โ€ I asked as we drove to Moon Dust for a dinner invitation from our parents. It was a shame Andrew couldnโ€™t join usโ€”he had some family business to take care of.โ€œNot for now.โ€ Trevor shrugged. โ€œIโ€™m enjoying my time alone.โ€ Then he glanced at me. โ€œAnd I want to spend more time with you, you know. After everything that happened, we barely hang out anymore.โ€โ€œYeah.โ€ I nodded in agreement. โ€œYou also promised to train me so I could beat Leana.โ€โ€œHey, I never promised that,โ€ he argued, โ€œbeating Leana, I mean.โ€โ€œYou, too?โ€โ€œWhat?โ€โ€œBecause Andrew said the same thing when I asked him to train me to defeat Leana.โ€โ€œSheโ€™s an incredible fighter

    -Trevor-I thought I would be able to breathe for a moment and ignore this whole love triangle problem. But these two girls gave me no choice but to keep thinking about it.Honestly, I wasnโ€™t really interested when Corrine invited the four of us to spend the night out somewhere. But since I was a good big brother and wanted to see my sister happy, I agreed.I deliberately took the wheel to avoid Eva and Leana, but the Moon Goddess knew I couldnโ€™t avoid them forever.As soon as we got out of the car and walked toward the race area, Eva and Leana immediately trapped me between them. Corrine often said I was dense, so I tried to break the awkwardness with a jokeโ€”but not a single one of them laughed.It seemed I had made the wrong move.โ€œLook at them, flirting and all,โ€ Leana grumbled as she watched Corrine and Andrew walking ahead of us. โ€œLife must be so great when youโ€™ve already found your mate.โ€โ€œI heard you used to like Andrew?โ€ The question slipped out of my mouth before I even had t

    -Corrine-This was also an issue I had been thinking about since yesterday. With the attack and kidnapping incident, the battle to determine the next Alpha had been postponed. I had already expected that Dad would bring this up sooner or later.I hadnโ€™t discussed this with Andrew yet, but I had already made up my mind.โ€œIโ€™m not going through with it,โ€ I said. With both hands tucked into my pants pockets, I looked at Dad, Mom, and Trevor. โ€œLet the pack know that Iโ€™m stepping down, and they can fight among themselves to determine the next Alpha.โ€Andrew placed a hand on my shoulder, making me turn to him. โ€œAre you sure?โ€ His voice was gentle, without any concern or disapproval. He truly just wanted to know if I was certain about my decision.I smiled at him and nodded. โ€œYes.โ€ Then, I turned back to my family. โ€œAfter everything thatโ€™s happened, I just want to live a peaceful life. At least until I graduate from collegeโ€”โ€ I briefly glanced at the campus building. โ€œโ€”and if youโ€™ll have me,

    -Corrine-When I said that almost all of my problems were solved, this was the one that remained unresolved. I didnโ€™t know why my mother suddenly wanted to meet me and Andrew after everything she had said and done to us, but I hoped this was a good sign.For everyoneโ€™s safety and comfort, we didnโ€™t meet at Moon Dust or Andrewโ€™s mansion, but instead in Golden Valley.Andrew and I arrived first and headed straight to Houghton Commons. We chose a quiet spot outside, near a large shady tree. The weather was quite windy today, so most people preferred to sit indoors.I pulled my jacket tighter around me and waited, occasionally glancing toward the entrance.โ€œYou seem nervous,โ€ Andrew said. I turned to him and frowned, trying to see his eyes behind the sunglasses he was wearing.โ€œAre you not?โ€โ€œWhy should I be? Sheโ€™s your mother, not mine.โ€โ€œRight. But sheโ€™s going to talk to us, not just me. You still remember how much she hated youโ€”so much that she even worked with Jerome toโ€”โ€The distant

I closed my eyes and took in the scent of his shampoo lingering in his messy hair. โ€œDid you finish your business yesterday?โ€Last night, after dropping me off at the mansion, Andrew had left to return to the forest.

As much as I was relieved that he had found me, we were still in danger.Andrewโ€™s hand gripped my ankle tightly. He was using all his strength to pull me up.

He immediately hugged me, repeatedly calling my name.โ€œIโ€™m sorry, Corrine.
