Finally! Jerk.

I immediately got out of the water and grabbed my clothes as fast as I could. Shit! I felt like my chest was about to explode as I hurriedly put on my clothes again. When I was done, I glanced at the man’s back again, checking if he was trying to take a peak.

Damn it. Why is he even here? I can’t help but feel the irritation rising within me.

Panting, I marched to him.

“Hey, Jerk!” I yelled as I approached him.

He slowly turned around to face me, and I immediately raised my hand to slap his face real hard.

“Perv!” I bellowed angrily before sprinting away.

I ran as fast as I could, not bothering to look back. After a few minutes of running, I finally stopped when I realized I was already far away from that jerk. I was about to sigh in relief when I suddenly heard a voice behind me.

“Why do you look like you’ve run into some monster?”

“Shit!” I clenched my chest in shock. I turned around only to see the familiar face of the woman I saw back in the river earlier.

“Y-You scared me!” I wailed.

She crossed her arms. “Why are you even running like a fugitive?”

“Because t-there’s a perv! T-There!” I said, pointing in the river’s direction. I removed all the stray hairs on my face as I panted.

Her forehead creased while looking in the direction I was pointing, and a hint of confusion was plastered across her face. Then she turned her attention to me.

She must think that I’m a weirdo. I bit my fingernails as I felt the cold wind caress my skin. The cold breeze sent shivers to my body. It can’t be helped since I wasn’t able to dry my body properly.

Damn, it’s that jerk’s fault!

I heard the woman sigh and then stare at me.

“You’re a lone wolf, right?” she asked once again.

I slowly nodded. My body trembled as I felt the coldness of the wind on my bare skin.

“So, you wanna go to our pack?” I immediately looked at her when she said that. She shrugged.

What? Did she just ask me to join their pack?

“Y-You mean the B-Bloodmoon?” I asked, bewildered.

“Uhh yes…” she said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

I went silent for a while, unable to think of what to say. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think of joining the Bloodmoon Pack. They’re our pack’s enemy—except that the pack banished me already. I am no longer part of the Crestmoon pack.

I muttered a curse and looked around. If I don’t accept the offer, I’ll have to spend the rest of my life wandering aimlessly around this forest.

I could never live such a life! I cannot be on my own. Who knows what Daria’s bitches would do once they find me. As a lone wolf, I will be more vulnerable to rogue attacks as well. Shit. I’m definitely screwed.

I turned to the woman again, who was still waiting for my answer. She looks a bit irritated because I’m taking too long to answer. Do I really have no choice? This is Michael’s fault. And damn you, Crestmoon!

I closed my eyes and heaved a sigh. “I-I’ll go with you,” I finally said.

Now, I’ve said it. I just can’t afford to be a lone wolf. This is the only choice available to me right now.

She nodded at my response before offering her hand.
