        “Who would have thought that the promising and kind Alpha is kneeling in front of me while weeping? Ahh, what a great view; I can cum by just watching you,”


A woman wearing a wood-colored cloak spoke; her silver hair was waving with the wind, and she was playing with her long sharp nails while looking at the severely wounded man in front of her.


The man was holding at his chest; blood kept coming out from it after the woman pulled out the silver knife painted with wolfsbane on the tip, making it more fatal to the Alpha.


“What do you want from us? Why do you keep on killing our kind? You were a werewolf too; what’s your reason for doing this?” the man utter, hardly breathing.


“I was once a part of your suck-up pack,” the woman crouched and smirked at the man, “Have you forgotten what your pack did to me? Hmm?”


“It is your fault; you chose to do it, you know the rules, you know the consequences of it, you should be prepared the moment you decide to do the sin,”


The woman’s expression changed rapidly, her round brown eyes were full of hatred, and pain, as she remembered what happened to her, “Your people was the one who did me wrong, not the other way around, and you, I trusted you, as my Alpha, but you remained quiet, you stay, and hide under your sheet, and act like a goody Alpha whom your pack can rely on,”


“It’s not what you th-“


“It is what it is; your death will be the curse to your generation; I will hunt them down, up until to the last drop of your bloodline, mark my words, I will kill everyone related to you,”


“Listen, A-“


“Ah, fuck!” I immediately stood up when I felt a hard object fall to my forehead, “Stupid ball,” I looked up to see where it came from.


After I got kicked out of my class, instead of going to the detention room, I went straight to the spar field; I doubted if Mrs. Kalida would check up on me after class; she still had two hours to teach; I could go to the detention before she dismisses the class.


I scratched my forehead when my wolf alarmed me of incoming danger; I stood on my feet and prepared for it.


“Fancy meeting you here,” a girl of the same age as me came out; out of nowhere, she was not wearing a uniform, so I was confused whether she was a student or what, maybe an outsider? But is that possible? “You must be, Esmeray,”


“Who are you?” I asked while removing the dirt from my uniform.


“You stole what’s mine, and I’m not the kind of wolf who would let what’s mine slip through my hands,” she said while removing her clothes and shoes. Is she initiating an attack?


“You must be mistaken; I’m Esmeray, yes, but I don’t even know you, taking what’s yours will make no sense,” I’m not blinking, I’m not taking my eyes off her; in any second, she will indeed attack me, she’s preparing to transform, my wolf felt that bloodlust from her.


“You slut, I will make you feel regret after taking my other half,” Just right after she transformed, I saw her tattoo, that familiar tattoo; I saw that somewhere, tattoos for werewolves symbolized that they have already mated with their mates, it means she is someone’s property, and only either death or rejection will make it disappear.


She has a mate.


She mentioned that I stole. What’s does she mean? However, I wasn’t doing anything; I do-


“Hey, Esme! Zup?” Zenus, my childhood friend, pat my head as we walked downtown, today was the day of vanor, our town’s festival, and we are heading to our booth; every family relative’s house has its booth for the festival.


“What the fuck, Zenus, you haven’t bathed since yesterday, aren’t you? I can still smell the ocean in your sweat!” I shouted and pushed him off me, we went to the beach with our cousins and friends yesterday, and this fucker wasn’t taking a proper bath after our swim.


“Come on, you know that I’ll always love you, and I won’t leave you; I’m not interested in any other woman,” he lifted my chin and looked into my eyes; we exchanged gazes until I slapped him straight to the face, that made him laughed out so loud.


He was always doing that, people have always been thinking that there is something between us, but they are mistaken, Zenus found his mate seven months ago, and I can say that I’m the happiest.


“So, what’s today’s menu? I excitedly grab his arm and drag him to our booth; I’m sure he’ll love it!


“You’re Zenus’s mate?” I’m a bit shocked, I didn’t have the chance to meet her, since Zenus had to leave the town, for some family reason, she must be Zeina!


“Hey, this is a pure misunderstanding; nothing is going on betw-“I could not finish my sentence; she jumped toward my spot, which made me dodge.


“Zeina, this is not what happens! Come on, hear me out!”


I tried to stop her, but she was in her wolf form; she’s way stronger than I am, fuck it! I can’t just transform and rip off this expensive uniform! I can’t afford another pair!


She was so determined to get rid of me that I had no other choice but to get naked and transform into my form. My wolf can’t take the pressure building up on me.


We were seven feet away from each other, her eyes were in a rage, she gave another attack, and unexpected, I felt her sharp nails digging into my stomach; I jumped back to avoid her next slash.


This is bad.


My blood was dripping; I might attract other kinds with my situation; she attacked again; this time, she tried to use her mouth to rip off any body parts she could. Zeina was unsuccessful with that, but she had the chance to strike me again, and this time, she hit me on my back; I almost choked in my own blood dripping from my mouth.


My wolf was starting to get weak, and my connection to her was getting fader. Zeina was walking around me, circling, like, waiting and looking for an open area to hit again, and in just a snap, she’s in front of me, no, she’s on the top of me, trying to strike me, while me, trying to defend myself.


We were in that position when we heard the loud siren; my eyes widened upon realization. Zeina suddenly jumped off of me and came back to her human form. I can see her bareback; she was walking gracefully, with her long natural brown hair and cursive body.


“Consider yourself lucky from me,” she said while dressing up; I also used that chance to transform back and dress myself up; I stepped back when she turned her gaze to me, “However, I will consider you lucky if you can get here alive, with that,” she looked at me from head to foot, that’s when I notice that she had a nameplate, just like me, were in the same class, why haven’t I seen her? “Run for your life,”


After saying that, she disappeared from my eyes. Zeina was way stronger than me; she managed to hit me three times without me hitting her back. I can say that she was way too trained at that age, but what can I expect? I didn’t attend a formal school for training.


“Attention, students, make sure to be in our safe space while the rogue is out; I repeat, students, make sure to be in our safe space to avoid any rogue attacks,”


Damn it, I need to go and hide.


In my case, I won’t be able to make it if I just encounter one hungry rogue.


“What a lovely sight to eat my snack,”


I immediately looked at the one who spoke, with red eyes, sharp fangs, uneven breathing, and odd posture.


Rogue.


No.


A famished Rogue.


Goddamn it!
