Chapter 6

ผู้เขียน: Scarlett Flame
Cora was devastated, but she had to keep her composure in front of the cameras.

Even if she only got accepted into the second-ranked university, it was already a top achievement for most werewolves.

Some of the live stream audience snickered at her confidence earlier, but most of them congratulated her.

"It's Northmoor University! I'd say it's just as impressive as Lycanshire University."

"That's the daughter of the principal of the only high school in the Arrowhead pack! To think she scored such good grades in a poor pack like ours."

Thanks to their praise, Cora's disappointment quickly washed away.

Her earlier arrogance returned as she remarked, "I must be the top of our grade. It seems like no one in our pack got accepted into Lycanshire University this year."

Raymond swept her into his arms to congratulate her, completely ignoring the fact that I was just right beside them.

Still in his embrace, Cora suddenly looked at me and asked, "Adeline, which university did you apply to?"

The moment our gazes met, I saw the malice glinting in her eyes, belying the gentle smile she plastered on her face.

"You all probably don't know this, but actually, there was a time when I wasn't the top of our class," she said. "It was Adeline."

"In fact, she remained number one for almost six months," she added in a purposeful drawl.

Someone in the live stream immediately urged, "Then go check her emails. Did she get into Lycanshire University?"

Seeing how everyone was curious about my grades, Cora feigned a look of pity and said, "But it's a shame that she's been so infatuated with her boyfriend that she hasn't been focusing on her studies. Her grades dropped to rock bottom. It's impossible for her to get into Lycanshire University now!"

Then she turned to me and said, "You must've applied to Mangy Hollow Community College, haven't you? That's not bad. It's just that things are quite unstable over there. Rogues appear all the time, so you have to be careful!"

Cora seemed as though she was concerned about my safety, but her voice was clearly dripping with malicious intent.

She probably hoped I'd die in the hands of a Rogue.

Meanwhile, the comment section was flooded with insults and scorn directed at me.

"I can't believe how dumb she is. How could she sabotage herself for the sake of love?"

"I think she deserves it. She'll regret it once she ends up in Mangy Hollow Community College!"

Reading the comments, Cora chuckled and urged, "Adeline, everyone's wondering which school you got into. Hurry up and check your emails now!"

Raymond, on the other hand, had just checked his emails. Sure enough, he was accepted into Mangy Hollow Community College.

But being an Alpha heir meant he could still thrive in Mangy Hollow. No one would dare to cross him—unlike me, an ordinary werewolf who was nothing but an easy target for bullying.

He turned toward me and asked, "Adeline, you also applied to Mangy Hollow, right?"

I didn't feel like lying, so I shook my head.

Raymond immediately frowned.

"Why didn't you listen to me?" he snarled. "Where else could you possibly get accepted aside from Mangy Hollow?"

Cora's expression darkened.

"Adeline, if you hadn't applied to Mangy Hollow Community College, where did you apply instead?" she asked, forcing a smile. "You didn't apply to Lycanshire University, did you?"

She covered her mouth, trying to stifle her giggles.

"Sorry, I was just joking. You wouldn't be that full of yourself, right?"

Raymond also snorted. "Would someone like her actually have the nerve to apply to Lycanshire University? Even you didn't get accepted. With her current grades, there's no way she could get in!"

Since Cora intentionally brought it up, all the cameras were trained on me. Everyone, including the thousands of viewers on the live stream, were focused on my emails.

Noticing my lack of response, Raymond urged, "Adeline, hurry up and check your emails. Everyone's waiting for you!"

Cora couldn't wait to watch me get humiliated.

"Adeline, are you nervous? Let me help you instead!"

She suddenly shoved me aside, snatched the mouse, and keyed in my ID.

  • Touch Me, but Don't Kiss Me   Chapter 13

    Ever since we parted at the hotel, it had been a year since I last saw Raymond. He still looked as dashing as ever, though he seemed slightly nervous. "Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you," he said. "I just heard you'd be coming today, so I thought I'd come see you."His eyes, filled with longing, were glued to my face, as if he were trying to memorize my features. "Adeline, I've missed you. When we first separated, I thought time could heal everything. And that I'd still have the chance to get back together with you."Once, I even thought about using my father's power to force you into marriage. But how would that make me any different from Cora?"Seeing you becoming more radiant and liberated day by day, I finally realized you don't belong to me. You belong to yourself. "Someone like me isn't worth turning back to."While he was still wallowing in his sorrow, I handed him a card. "This is all you spent on me when we were still together."Back when I started dating him,

  • Touch Me, but Don't Kiss Me   Chapter 12

    After I became famous, I was still a star even at Lycanshire University. Not long after, my brothers who once kicked me out of the house suddenly showed up, hoping I'd come home with them. Mom, who'd vanished without a trace for years, also reached out to me, saying she wanted to introduce me to a suitable marriage prospect. Without thinking twice, I blocked them all. When I was struggling and desperate, they either abandoned me or trampled all over me. Now that I was doing well, it was absurd of them to think they could just slither their way back into my life.Did they really think I was some fool waiting to be used?Enraged, my brothers tried threatening me. "Send us money right now, or we'll go to the reporters and tell them how you turned your back on your family after becoming famous. Let's see how you'll sell your courses if your reputation is ruined!"But I wasn't afraid of their threats. Every one of them was rotten to the core. I warned them that if I so much a

    Raymond shook his head in disbelief. "I had no idea.""Of course, I knew you had nothing to do with this," I said. He perked up, as if a spark of hope in him had been reignited. But I didn't give him a chance."Yet you agreed to help her ruin me, didn't you?" I continued, shattering his hope. "You're just as shameless as she is!"Ignoring his pale expression, I added, "Cora's right. I just wanted to get back at her. Why should the victim have to live with their trauma for the rest of their lives while the bully thrives? "I want to take away everything that means something to her—her grades, her boyfriend, and her future. "Has it ever crossed her mind that every single injury she left on my body will serve as evidence for me to throw her in jail?"I sighed. "Raymond, I pity you. You're nothing but a tool I've used to get back at her."He'd been so protected that he couldn't even imagine the kind of abuse I'd been enduring. "Adeline, did you never have feelings for me?""

  • Touch Me, but Don't Kiss Me   Chapter 10

    Cora had started bullying me ages ago—way before I met Raymond.Since the first exam after my transfer to this school, Cora had cornered me in the toilet, her lackeys in tow. She shoved my head into the toilet bowl, snarling, "So you stole my number spot away from me, huh? It's all your fault I got scolded by Dad! Do you even know who I am?"You're just a werewolf with a lowly bloodline. How dare you steal my spotlight? The toilet water will make you come back to your senses."But I wasn't a useless werewolf who would just put up with such treatment. I immediately reported Cora to the teacher, only to be led to the principal's office. Mr. Knightley shot me a disdainful look. "Ms. Thorne, are you saying my dear daughter is bullying you? That's impossible. She's always been sensible."I heard your father's a criminal, and your mother's a prostitute. Being able to study here is no easy feat for you, right?"I know kids your age are desperate for attention, but it's not good to li

  • Touch Me, but Don't Kiss Me   Chapter 9

    The moment Raymond's gaze landed on my chest, his breath hitched. "What happened? Who did this to you?"I ran my fingers across my scars. "This, you mean?"I continued, "These are the cigarette burns the love of your life left on me. Or are you asking about this?"She carved the word 'slut' into my skin with a penknife. She said I was born one, so it's only right for her to remind me of my identity."Raymond and I had slept together countless times, but I had never allowed him to turn on the lights. I even kept my shirt on. This was the first time he saw the scars on my body. His mind went blank. He clearly didn't want to hear any more details, but I didn't stop. "Those are nothing," I said, guiding his hand to my back. As soon as he sensed the jagged ridges on my skin, he flinched. "Every single one of these burns was made by Cora with a curling iron. 13 in total," I said. "She said it was the only way to make sure I remembered the pain, and my place.""Why… Why did s

  • Touch Me, but Don't Kiss Me   Chapter 8

    Since the day the admission results came out, Raymond had been calling me nonstop. But I didn't have time to deal with him. I was busy managing my online account. I had to make the most of the exposure the incident brought me, turning all that attention into profit. I started sharing study tips on my page, and for a small fee, people could purchase access to all of my study notes. Through knowledge-based content, I was raking in money.Soon, I began landing the right brand deals and building my personal brand, getting more and more people to know who I was. With this positive momentum, my influence and income kept rising. As usual, I declined Raymond's call. Moments later, several messages came in. "Adeline, today's my birthday. Can you come celebrate with me?"The doorbell suddenly rang. I opened the door, only to see a hotel keycard on the floor. It instantly reminded me of the card I once gave him a year ago. It felt like deja vu—but this time, the tables had turne
