On the day of the state-wide exam, the Johanson family's real daughter accused me of cheating. Two perfect-score papers lay side by side, identical in every detail. No matter how I argued, I could not clear my name. Everyone sided with her. They branded me a cheater and cast me out of the Johanson family in front of everyone. To appease her, the Johansons went even further. They used their influence to blacklist me across every industry within their reach. I ended up sleeping on the streets. One hardship followed another until my thoughts dulled and a car struck me with such force that it sent me airborne. Even at the end, one question haunted me: "Why did my paper match hers?" Then I opened my eyes and found myself back in the exam room. This time, I turned in a blank sheet. I wanted to see for myself how someone who scored zero could possibly copy anyone.

It would have been a lot easier for every body if princess Alexander was born a man but instead she is a female but that doesn't lower her spirits or force her to adhere to the unwritten rules about ladies behaviors.

She, betrayed by her ex-boyfriend and her family, had to marry a bastard of the Alpha of a powerful pack as a substitute for her sister, and that guy was known as a good-for-nothing. He established his own pack and business from zero but had to marry a woman he didn't love at all to fulfill his mother's last wish. She was a werewolf with the defect of not having her wolf. But she had a divine heart and only wanted to save Maci and be free. He was a mystery and aloof Alpha. He hid his identity and lied to get rid of her as soon as possible. It was just a nominal marriage at the beginning, but what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations. Before, he said to his subordinate, "Don't be nice to her. She will never be your Luna." Afterwards, he said, "I want the whole world to know that she is my Luna." Fate had already bound them together when they were born. The Moon Goddess had blessed them when they didn't even realize it.

From a stall in the office restroom, I overhear someone badmouthing me. Henry Fielder, the intern I've been mentoring for three months, grumbles, "The guy's got zero people skills. He's a total fossil, like a robot stuck in one mode." I'm about to push the door open and jump in when someone laughs and piles on. "The paperwork is incomplete. The receipts aren't compliant. I can't reimburse it without a manager's signature. We could recite his canned empathy lines in our sleep!" Once they're gone, I quietly head back to my office. Later, Henry drops a thick stack of expense reports onto my desk. "Quit waving the rulebook and rejecting everyone's reimbursements." I skim the fake receipts, and for once, I don't call him out. Instead, I give a thin smile and say, "I have a headache. I can't make out the words."
