"Why do you look like you just got transported into another world?" Alice asks me as I stumble back into the house. "Hmm?" I ask distractedly. My head is still swimming from that kiss earlier."See? You are not even listening to me. What's wrong with you, girl?" Alice barks at me, snapping me out of my dream world. I hesitate. Should I tell her about Alpha Xavier kissing me? I didn't have a lot of friends here, but Alice has been nothing but nice to me since I got here, so she could be considered my friend. "Something happened," I say quietly.Alice narrows her eyes. "What happened?""I went to the bathhouse earlier to meet Alpha Xavier, and he..." I stop. "He what?" Alice asks, her eyes glinting with curiosity."He gave me a promotion as his personal maid," I say, still hesitant to tell her about the kiss.Alice claps her hands together. "Oh my god, Sylvia! That's amazing! His personal maid? That is such an honor. Why don't you look more excited?"I shift uncomfortably, avoiding A

This isn't the first time I have been undermined by my peers. Oh no.Just because I look like the weakest wolf of the pack doesn't mean I am just some useless broad to mess with because, you see, I have skills that go beyond having wolf powers. Since a young age, I have had a knack for mixing potions and herbs to create powerful concoctions. My mother was a professional apothecary, and she taught me everything she knew about the art of magical alchemy. I quickly became her apprentice and grew to be an incredible alchemist in my own right.I can whip up almost anything with whatever resources we have in our area at the time. When I arrived here, I made sure to use my skills to make the perfect concoction that would help me hide my scent so I could stay hidden. And now, it's time to use my skills against Molina and Amelia so I can teach them a lesson!I have my potions filled up with the wolf pelt essence of my wolf pack. This essence was made from the wolf pelts of all the old wolf

I tremble in silence as Alpha Xavier's piercing gaze drills into me. The air feels heavy with anticipation, and soon I am the only one left in this giant room with the Alpha. My mind is paralyzed with fear, and my heart threatens to burst from my chest in a panicked frenzy.Why did he want to speak to me alone? Why couldn't he decide on my punishment in front of everyone else?"Sylvia," his thunderous voice shook me to my core.Oh, goddess...he sounds angry!"Y...yes, Alpha?" I ask, my voice trembling.He stalks towards me, every footstep sending vibrations through the air as he advances with a calculated slowness. His eyes are burning holes in my soul, and I can feel the heat of his gaze even before he reaches me."Do you realize how serious the accusation against you is?" he growls."I do," I whisper."Then do you know what awaits a thief like you in my court?" His eyes narrow, and his voice drops low. "Punishments that will make you wish for death many times over.""I didn't steal t

I hesitate outside his bedroom, feeling nervous and unsure. It had been a long time since he had asked for me since he wasn't home. But now that he was back from hunting, he needed my service again.A voice, sandpaper-rough and hoarse, comes from inside the house. "Come in," he growls as if he has sensed my presence outside the door.I hurry inside. "Alpha Xavier? You asked for me?" "Come closer," he commands, his voice low and steady. "I need to show you something."Without hesitation, I step forward, our eyes locked in a silent exchange. "What can I do for you, Alpha?" I ask timidly.He doesn't answer but instead reaches out and touches my forehead. Suddenly, I feel a jolt of electricity shoot through my body, and everything around me starts to blur and fade away.When the world comes back into focus, I find myself standing in a vast forest filled with glittering trees and sparkling streams. The air is alive with magic, and I can feel its power coursing through my veins."Ancient

Alpha Xavier At last, I had her in my arms. The fragile bird could not escape me anymore as she was now living in the room next to mine. The moment our eyes met, my whole world fell apart, and I felt an intense and burning love for her. Every breath I take now carries her scent, everything I see reminds me of her, and every sound I hear brings back memories of her voice. She has become my addiction, an obsession that completely consumes me, and I can't get enough of her. I need her to be near me at all times. So I came up with this genius idea to make her my personal maid. Because, for whatever reason, she can't stand to be near me? I am still confused as to why she avoids me like a plague. Have I done something wrong? I thought I always treated her fairly. Gah! This is going to drive me insane! No, it doesn't matter why she doesn't like me right now. As long as she respects my authority, she wouldn't dare defy me, so that means I get to keep her close. And maybe, eventually, I
