All Chapters of I Left My Family for the Best Werewolf Academy: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

I opened my chat with Dad and sent him a message.[Dad, can you come get me now?]Although the message was marked as delivered, ten minutes stretched into thirty, and thirty minutes became an entire night. My screen never lit up.My wolf, Seraphina, let out distressed whimpers. She desperately urged me to transform and protect myself, but I was so terrified that I couldn't bring myself to do it.It wasn't until the sky began to turn bright that I finally dragged my exhausted human body out of the cave. I cautiously circled around two groups of patrolling rogues before making my way home.My clothes were soaked with sweat and rainwater. At last, I made it back home.Firewood crackled in the fireplace, and its warm glow illuminated the living room.My parents, my older brother Tommy Gray, and my younger sister Ella Gray were huddled together beneath a thick blanket. Their arms were wrapped around one another.The bed could barely accommodate the four of them. If I tried to squeez

Late that night, I sat at my desk while carefully organizing my application documents one by one. Suddenly, the door opened. Mom walked in with a cup of warm milk.She set it on the corner of my desk and spoke gently. "Alice, drink some milk to help you relax. Ella was out of line when she broke your tiara today. I already scolded her for it. You've always been the sensible one, so don't hold a grudge against her."I watched the steam rising from the cup but felt no warmth in my heart. I knew there was a hidden cost to this glass of milk.Sure enough, as soon as Mom sat down on the edge of my bed, she said, "Your mentor from Moonlight Academy, Vera, called this afternoon to ask about the exchange program. I've already turned it down for you."My hand froze in midair. I stared at her in disbelief. "What did you just say? Moonlight Academy is the most prestigious werewolf academy in the nation! People would give anything to get in!""But you can't go." Mom sighed, and her tone was f

Meanwhile, I was standing in the spacious training grounds of Moonlight Academy in Royal City.Morning sunlight streamed through the enormous domed ceiling, illuminating my well-fitted navy-blue uniform.I slammed my fist into the strength-testing machine."Such incredible explosive power!" Vera applauded as she walked over and handed me a bottle of specially formulated energy supplement. Her eyes were filled with approval."Your tactical awareness and reaction speed are both top-notch. You were a little malnourished before, but once you've recovered your strength, you'll become even more powerful."Alice, I'm officially notifying you on behalf of the academy that you've been selected for Royal City's elite combat team!"I accepted the supplement and drank it in one go.A wave of warmth soon spread throughout my body. For the first time, I truly understood the confidence that came from possessing undeniable strength.Looking out at Royal City's vast skyline, I smiled. My family

To scrape together enough money for the trip to Royal City, my family sold the last few pieces of old furniture they owned. Even then, they could only afford four of the cheapest tickets on the slow train.They spent two days in the lowest-class carriage, surrounded by the stench of diesel and rotting garbage, before finally arriving in Royal City.Dad leaned on a crutch that had been crudely repaired with thick iron wire after breaking. With every step, his crippled right leg twitched violently.Mom's hair was a tangled mess, and her coarse burlap dress was covered in dark mud.Tommy hunched his shoulders timidly while his eyes darted around as he avoided looking at anyone.Ella had on the filthy dress with a huge hole burned into it by a cigarette butt. Her lips had turned a purplish blue from the cold.When the four of them stood before the gates of Moonlight Academy, a place that looked like a sacred temple, they froze.The towering pillars were carved with full-moon emblems
