    After I’ve had enough alcohol for one night, I head to my room, only to stop in the corridor when I hear


    Isabe arguing with her soon-to-be-husband. Both of them sound frustrated.


    “I saw you looking at my sister again while we were dancing. What is your deal with her? Why are you


    so f*cking invested in a simple Omega when the woman of your dreams is right under your nose?”


    Alpha Xavier sighs heavily. “For thest time, I wasn’t checking out your sister.”


    “You looked as though you were a dog chasing a bone.”


    “I was only looking in her direction, Isabe”


    “Lies!” Isabe cries in her drunken voice, but she sounds more angry than unhappy. “I know that


    you’re into her, but guess what? She would never ept you for what you truly are, Xavier You’re a


    monster, and I’m the only one that can keep you alive.”


    Geez. I know Alpha Xavier is cold, but to call him a monster? What is the matter with my sister?


    Alpha Xavier, however, doesn’t sound surprised and sighs. “Did anyone ever tell you that you’re a


    maniptive bi*ch?


    Isabeughs. “I am, but you need me, so you can’tin. If you want, I could lean against the


    wall and-”


    “Not here,” Alpha Xavier orders, immediately silencing my sister who obviously took a step too far.


    Their argument stops and I dare to peek from around the corner. Isabe is stroking her hand over


    Alpha Xavier’s chest and loving it. He, on the other hand, looks miserable.


    ‘He sure does, Seraments. ‘It makes me wonder if he is nice to her simply because she knows his


    secret, whatever it might be.


    “Maybe…


    I wonder why he needs her?’


    ‘I would like to know the answer to that as well, I mutter and hide when Alpha Xavier turns around as if


    feeling my presence.


    Did he see me? My heart hammers against my chest, and Sera chuckles in amusement inside my


    head.


    “You’re lucky they are both drunk, or they would have smelled your a*s already.


    Sera is right. Alcohol doesn’t make a werewolf drunk for very long, but I suppose it’s different from


    person to person. Isabe gets drunk extremely quickly despite being a werewolf, and Alpha Xavier?


    Well, I saw him pouring down an entire sk of whiskey down his throat. It’s no wonder his senses are


    somewhat dull.


    The image of Alpha Xavier drinking and then dancing with Isabe shes in my mind, and I


    immediately feel a pang longing Jealousy bubbles up within me, too, and the worst part is that I can’t


    fight it.


    I want my sister’s man.

    The pain keeps eating me alive. I try to escape from it by forcing sleep, but when I close my eyes, I


    wake up in a ce where the hunger remains in my blood. It’s screaming out for what I want, only


    interrupted by the sound of ravens screeching in


    the skies.


    I look up at the sky in confusion. Are those ravens real? Is this a dream? It feels too real to be


    something my mind came up

    with. I’ve never seen this ce before, yet I can’t deny the familiarity in my heart. It’s like a part of my


    soul recognizes this sad ce.


    Regardless of which, I walk forward. The grass is soft underneath my naked feet, but the trees are


    naked, and the skies are gray. A feeling of mncholy lingers over this ce, making me wary.


    I keep my eyes held up high, shocked when I see what appears to be a decayed castle in the distance.


    There’s a mountain behind it and what seems to be a dead waterfall. You can see the dry marks of a


    river, and my heart pounds restlessly inside. my chest. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    “This is what happens when you underestimate the vampires,’ a voice says behind me. When I turn


    around, I’m faced with the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.


    Her long hair is purely white, contrasting against her sun-kissed skin. Her eyes are a strange pink, and


    her smile feels like home. I can immediately tell that she is a good person.


    “Wh-who are you?” I ask.


    She continues to smile. “I am the werewolf queen, her gaze travels to the sad castle, and her smile


    disappears. “Keep training with the wind Alpha. You will awaken soon, and maybe you can stop the


    vampires from destroying your world.”


    My eyes widen. “Is this…the magical realm?”


    “It used to be.” the woman’s face grows even sadder. Sadly, there isn’t much life here. After the


    werewolf kingdoms fell, so did this world. In an attempt to save your world. I threw ast spell to


    imprison the vampires in the magical realm, but centuriester, some of them have escaped to your


    realm. I’m sorry, Daisy,”


    “For what?”


    She ces a kind hand on my shoulder and smiles with tears glittering in her pretty pink eyes. “For not


    finishing this in my first life and burdening you with a battle I couldn’t win.”


    1 gasp. “Y-you’re me?”


    “In another life, she winks at me. “Don’t stress about bing powerful. It will happen.”


    With that, my vision blurs, and I fear I’m about to wake up. Something I don’t want to happen. I still


    have so many questions! What power does the vampire queen have? What role did I y in my past


    life?


    My mind is spinning, but I don’t get a chance to ask them. I’m being dragged away by an invisible force,


    and I can’t fight it.


    I wake up crying in my bed. The magical realm is still fresh in my memory, and fear churns in the pit of


    my stomach. I can’t let this world turn into what that world became. I have to s


    save-


    “Were your eyes always pink, or are you finally fully awakening?” he asks while leaning his cheek


    against the palm of his hand. And nice underwear, by the way. Red suits you?


    My gazends on Yato. He is lying beside me in my bed, and I scream at the top of my lungs, “WHAT


    THE HELL ARE YOU DOING INSIDE MY ROOM, YOU PERVERTED ALPHA?!”


    A grin appears on his lips. “Good morning to you, too, Feisty. Are you crying because you missed me


    so much? Or did you have a spooky nightmare? Want me to kiss the fear away?”


    “Get out of my room!” I push him off my bed, and before he hit the ground, I notice his eyebrows


    shooting up in surprise…then hends on the floor with a thud.


    “Ouch,” he grumbles. “I guess I deserved that?”


    “Yes!” I clutch my nket to my chest. “You don’t just lie down in people’s beds, Yato!”

    “Noted, he rubs his back, but he doesn’t look angry when he faces me. If anything, he seems


    impressed. “You’re stronger


    now.


    “Stronger?” I’m confused.


    “Yes, and your eyes are pink-I think you’re ready to be trained inbat, Feisty. Your inner wolf seems


    fully healed.


    To confirm Yato’s words. Sera says. “He is right. I don’t know what happened in your dreams, but I feel


    powerful. Maybe we can attempt to shape-shift?”


    “Hold on.” I’m speaking out loudly, but my words are theant for both of them. “What do you mean my


    eyes are pink?”


    Yato grins. “Why don’t you look in the mirror?”


    Barely daring to move, I stand up and make my way to the mirror ced against the far wall. Yato


    watches me with a calcted gaze, amusement dancing in his eyes. As my reflectiones into view,


    I gasp.


    My normally dull eyes are now a brilliant, almost glowing shade of pink, identical to the hue of the


    werewolf queen’s eyes in my dream.


    “..I don’t understand.” I stammer, walking back towards Yato. What has happened to me?”


    “It seems like you’ve finally awakened, Yato says, a look of satisfaction shing across his face. And


    this, my dear friend, is when the fun starts.
