All Chapters of Touch Me, but Don't Kiss Me: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

After estimating my exam score, I suddenly heard Raymond Knox's familiar voice coming from outside the classroom. "Cora, the exam's over. Isn't it time for you to keep your end of our bet?"I looked over and saw Raymond, noticing how his grayish blue eyes stood out among the other werewolves. One of his eyebrows was arched, and he looked as poised as ever, like the high-ranking Alpha heir he was. Cora Knightley huffed. Apart from being our school's cheer captain, she was also Raymond's childhood sweetheart. "The bet isn't over yet," she said. "You'll only win if Adeline agrees to go to Mangy Hollow College with you. Only then will I agree to date you."A smirk tugged at Raymond's lips. "With her current grades, there's nowhere she can apply to except Mangy Hollow," he replied, his voice dripping with the confidence and possessiveness of an Alpha heir. "And besides, she obeys my every word. One word from me is enough to make her go to any school I want."A group of young Beta

I wrapped my arms around Raymond's neck, brushing my lips against his chin. "Raymond, will you kiss me?"He disliked me, so naturally, he hated my touch. I'd tried asking him for a kiss before, but he'd pushed me away in disgust. "Don't do this," he'd said. "I don't like kissing."I felt wronged. I clearly saw him kissing Cora back then. It wasn't because he disliked kissing—he just didn't like kissing me. Back then, I didn't dare act out of line, afraid that he'd call off this game in advance. So when his warm lips brushed against mine hesitantly, I deepened the kiss on my own.After that, I stopped studying and shamelessly spent all my time hanging around him. When Cora once again became top of the class, she shot me a smug look. But I couldn't be bothered with her provocation. "Raymond must be thrilled," I thought. Sure enough, he was absolutely delighted that day. He pulled me into his arms, twirling me around. When he set me back down, he pretended to complain

Cora and Raymond looked flustered, but I kept my composure. "What are you two doing here? Aren't we supposed to be checking our college admission emails today?"Today was the day universities were sending out their acceptance letters. Normally, everyone would check their emails at home on their own accounts. But this year, the school principal had suddenly announced that all students had to gather at school to check them together.I knew this was Cora's idea. She was the principal's daughter, after all. On one hand, she was confident that she'd get into Lycanshire University, a prestigious college for high-ranking werewolves. She wanted people to witness her success. On the other hand, she couldn't wait to see me—the nerd who'd always been one step ahead of her—fail miserably. She and Raymond had planned my downfall, but just like how a murderer always returned to their crime scene, she wanted to be there in person to watch how I'd react after seeing her succeed. Having b

"It's alright, Adeline," Cora said mockingly. "Although Mangy Hollow's in the suburbs and the conditions there are devastating, it certainly suits you—"She suddenly froze. "How is this possible?" she shrieked. "There must be something wrong with the computer! Why is she accepted into Lycanshire University?"At this point, no one bothered with Cora. Everyone clearly saw the email from Lycanshire University in my inbox. Calmly, I clicked on the email. Scanning through the content, I finally let out a breath of relief. The livestream audience was equally taken aback. "Didn't they say she applied to Mangy Hollow College? Why is she accepted into Lycanshire University?""Wait, guys! Look at the email. It says she's been offered a 100% scholarship and elite courses!""The elite courses at Lycanshire University? That means she's not just the best in the Arrowhead pack—she's also one of the best in Lycanshire!"People began to congratulate me in the comment section, and some even

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
