-Corrine-I stared and tried to scream, but no sound came out of my throat. Amid the growing pain, I forced both of my legs to move, and I ran away from the Lycan. But this time, he didn’t let me escape. He chased me. I could hear the sound of his footsteps on the leaves and fallen branches.I kept running until I didn’t know where I was anymore. All I knew was that I was getting farther from the university and deeper into the forest. Then I heard my wolf howling in my head, urging me to stop. Her will was so strong that I couldn’t resist, and I stopped abruptly, turning around.The Lycan was still with me, stopping far enough to attack me, but I could still see him. My feet felt like they were stuck to the ground, and my eyes couldn’t blink. Lightning flashed above my head again, and the Lycan walked closer. His figure became clearer, and memories of that night, when I first saw him, flashed through my mind.In my heart, I was sure I knew him. Not because I had met him before, but be

-Corrine-What the hell?“I don’t think—““I agree,” Dad interjected. “Someone has to protect Corrine while she’s in Golden Valley.” Then Dad turned to me. “If you want to continue your studies, you have to accept this decision, Corrine. It’s the best path we can offer you.”“What if I refuse?” I asked.“Then there will be no more studies. You have to leave Golden Valley and come back here.”“Training to be a warrior isn’t a bad idea,” Mom added. “You have talent, dear. Like Trevor.”My jaw clenched, and my eyes shot a sharp look at Jerome. How dare he smile at me after the suggestion he made? He knew I hated him, so he did it deliberately.You cannot run from me, Corrine.I jerked at the sound of Jerome’s voice in my head. Then I remembered our minds were connected after my wolf appeared. He could invade my thoughts and say things I didn’t want to hear.I have to learn to block his voice.“Well then,” Jerome said, redirecting his gaze away from me. “We will patrol. Be on the lookout

“Okay. Could you repeat our plan?” I said to Eva after she finished getting ready.Eva combed the ends of her wavy hair with her fingers while looking up at the ceiling, perhaps recalling the plan we had laid out yesterday. Then she opened her mouth, took a breath, and said, “Are you sure about this, Corrine?” squinting her eyes and smiling hesitantly.I sighed, reaching out my hands to hold hers. “You like him, don’t you? I could see it in your eyes, and I’m sure Trevor is into you, too!”Eva shook her head. “That’s not what I mean.” She grinned. “Thanks, though.”“I’m just going to visit Andrew’s house for a moment. There’s something important I need to confirm to him. Your job is just to keep an eye on Trevor for me. Make sure you two spend some time together until I get back to the dorms.”While planning this, I just found out that Andrew

-Corrine- I could feel his hot breath burning in my skin. His fingertips caressed every sensitive spot in my body. Slowly yet mercilessly, Andrew lowered my bra strap to mid-arm. Then he slid his fingers under my bra, stopping right below the curve of my bosom.He was torturing me. It was showed in the way he looked at me, and how his lips crooked a teasing smile.“I’m waiting for another question, Corrine,” he said with a low growl.I cleared my throat. Fuck! How could I even ask a single question if he kept sparking and playing with my lust like this??“I—uh—“ As I started to speak, he snapped back into action.He now placed his hand on the top of my breast, caressing the hardened peak with the tip of his finger. I could no longer avoid the breathy moan from escaping my lips. My toes curled when I couldn’t hold back the sensation overflowing within me.“I what, Corr

What the fuck did this bitch say just now?Giving her virginity to Andrew?I didn’t know why but I felt so furious I wanted to rip her head apart. My wolf growled in my head and I saw red. And thank the Moon Goddess because Eva was there with me and she pressed her hand on my shoulder, snapping me back into reality.“You okay?” she asked.I blinked and slowly dragged my gaze to her. “What?”“You look—“ she glanced toward the girls in front of us, “—angry.”The sound of a whistle made all of us turn to the field. Then I looked at Andrew, who was now observing the candidates along with the coach.I no longer heard the angry growl inside my head. My wolf calmed down again, as did my heart. I didn’t know who was influencing whom, but it was clear that this wasn’t good for both of us.If only Eva hadn’t been with me earlier, I would have surely ended up in jail for killing a girl.“I’m not,” I said, shrugging, trying to act indifferent. “Just a little annoyed. But, hey, he’s not my boyfrie
