Werewolf

When I woke up, the pain in my head was excruciating.

 I looked down and realized I was no longer wearing anything, just wrapped in a bathrobe. My shirt had been torn into pieces and was piled on the bedside table.

 A cold shiver ran through me, and my body trembled uncontrollably. After chasing Victor for ten years, I had never been in a real relationship. And yet, my first experience had been taken by those beasts.

 I struggled to sit up, reaching for my clothes and trying to slip away, but I collided with someone in front of me.

 &quot;Alexander?&quot; I called out, surprised.

 I glanced at his bath towel and then down at my own.

 The surprise quickly turned into shock. &quot;Did we...?&quot;

 Alpha Alexander’s handsome face came closer, his wet hair dripping water onto my collarbone. One hand pressed me back onto the edge of the bed.

 &quot;What about us?&quot; he asked, his 

From a distance, I saw Alexander wearing a simple white shirt. His fingers were long and defined as he held a thermos box. The sunlight shone on the stray strands of hair on his forehead, and for a brief moment, it felt like we were back to our childhood.

 &quot;It smells so good.&quot;

 I inhaled deeply, squinting my eyes and smiling at Alexander.

 &quot;You could smell it even before opening the lid. Still as greedy as before,&quot; he teased.

 Alexander reached out as if to pat my head, but when his hand met my open eyes, he froze.

 I leaned in closer, and his long fingers gently brushed through my hair, giving me a sense of calm.

 I couldn’t help but sigh softly, but he immediately straightened me up. &quot;Don't make this gesture so casually with others; people might misunderstand.&quot;

 I blinked, ready to speak, when a loud werewolf growl came from behind. &quot;What are y

When I got home with a throbbing headache, Lily looked at me with concern.

 &quot;Seraphina, is your head still hurting? Could it be the aftereffects of the concussion?&quot;

 Lily gently massaged my temples, and I could feel my heart gradually calming down.

 &quot;I’ve been thinking about something... Was I really that foolish in the past?&quot;

 &quot;How could pursuing someone you like be foolish? But Seraphina, don’t lose yourself in the process.&quot;

 I turned and wrapped my arms around Lily. &quot;I miss Alpha Alexander. Why hasn’t he come back yet?&quot;

 &quot;Seraphina, sometimes I really envy you. You’re so brave when it comes to expressing your feelings. But me...&quot;

 Lily trailed off, and I softly rubbed her back. &quot;Once you know what you want, just go for it. That way, when you look back, you won’t have any regrets.&quot;

 Still, there was no reply from Alexander. I decided I would get the pendant back and go find him to apologize.

 On Grace's birthday, I showed up at the meeting on time.

 Given Victor’s usual attitude toward me, I expected him to treat me like a joke, humiliating me in front of everyone. But to my surprise, when I entered the private room, only Grace and a bunch of unfamiliar werewolves were there.

 &quot;Where’s Victor?&quot; I asked, confused.

 &quot;Seraphina Bennett, Victor’s long since tired of your tricks. Your pathetic little stone’s here. Today, Alpha Victor gave me orders to teach you a lesson,&quot; Grace said, lounging in her chair with her legs crossed, chin resting on her hand. &quot;For now, start by wiping my shoes. I got a little dust on them when I arrived.&quot;

 I didn’t say anything but stepped forward to grab a tissue and wipe the dust away.

 The others in the room jeered, &quot;Grace, this servant’s actually pretty good-looking. Let’s have her drink with us later.&quot;

 &quot;Are you all blind? What’s so special about her?&quot; Grace scoffed, deliberately stepping her foot onto my shirt.

 &quot;Don’t push it!&quot; I took a step back.

 Grace sneered. &quot;You can’t even handle this? Looks like this stone’s only good for being a stepping stone in my backyard.&quot;

 I took a deep breath, straightened my back, and kept wiping the shoes.

 &quot;Enough. The only thing you’re good for is cleaning my shoes. Go pour drinks for my friends. Don’t you see they’ve been sitting here forever?&quot;

 I served drinks, losing track of how many rounds I had poured. My stomach started to hurt again, and my head began to feel heavy, as if something was invading my thoughts.

 &quot;Seraphina, can you hurry up?&quot; That was Victor’s voice.

 &quot;It’s fine, Seraphina, I’ll wait for you.&quot; That voice belonged to Alpha Alexander.

 I remembered the three of us climbing a mountain together. Back then, I was small, barely 5'3&quot;, struggling to keep up with Victor, who was 6'1&quot;.

 When we got home, there was a box of milk on my desk.

 Victor, with his usual cold expression, said, &quot;Grow taller, so I don’t have to wait for you all the time.&quot;

 I grinned and immediately opened the bottle to drink.

 After school, I spent nearly an hour in the restroom before coming out.

 Alexander looked at me with worry. &quot;You’re allergic to milk. You shouldn’t drink it.&quot;

 &quot;It’s fine. Victor bought it. Besides, I’m too short; I need to grow taller.&quot;

 &quot;You can grow without drinking milk. I’ll take you to the gym in the mornings from now on.&quot;

 &quot;Really?&quot; I was thrilled and threw my arms around Alexander, shouting, &quot;Alexander, you’re the best.&quot;

 I’m allergic to milk, so I hardly ever drink it, and I rarely touch alcohol either.

 I still had some awareness left as I approached Grace. &quot;Can I have the pendant back now?&quot;

 Before I could finish, a wave of nausea hit me, and I vomited.

 &quot;What are you doing?&quot; Grace’s voice was shrill.

 I mumbled, still clutching the pendant. &quot;Give it back to me.&quot;

 &quot;Slut, do you have any idea how much this outfit costs?&quot;

 A sharp slap struck my face, and the sting made me clutch onto Grace’s clothes even tighter. &quot;Give it to me.&quot;

 The pendant was thrown at me, and I quickly grabbed it in my hand.

 &quot;Such bad luck. You guys take care of her. I’m leaving.&quot;

 The sound of Grace’s high heels grew distant.

 I placed the pendant against my chest, but then I heard heavy breaths and wolves howling nearby. Hands began to roam over me.

 &quot;Get off me! Alpha Alexander won’t let you hurt me.&quot;

 I yelled with all my might, but it only provoked their anger.

 &quot;Ha, this slut’s got some fire.&quot;

 &quot;BOSS, you go first, and when you’re done, let the rest of us have a turn.&quot;

 &quot;Fine, but get her shirt off first…&quot;

 My head felt heavier, and all I could hear was the chaotic noise around me.

 Clutching the pendant, I curled into myself, trying to defend as best as I could.

 In my mind, I kept repeating, &quot;Alexander, you can’t ignore me this time.&quot;


When I woke up, the pain in my head was excruciating.

 I looked down and realized I was no longer wearing anything, just wrapped in a bathrobe. My shirt had been torn into pieces and was piled on the bedside table.

 A cold shiver ran through me, and my body trembled uncontrollably. After chasing Victor for ten years, I had never been in a real relationship. And yet, my first experience had been taken by those beasts.

 &quot;Alexander?&quot; I called out, surprised.

 I glanced at his bath towel and then down at my own.

 The surprise quickly turned into shock. &quot;Did we...?&quot;

 Alpha Alexander’s handsome face came closer, his wet hair dripping water onto my collarbone. One hand pressed me back onto the edge of the bed.

 &quot;What about us?&quot; he asked, his voice low and dangerous.

 A strange flutter rushed through my body, and I quickly retreated back in
