Episode 4

"smells very good," right.

I suddenly heard my wolf say. My wolf rarely came to the surface; it wasn't time for her to come out yet, but still, we could talk from time to time.

My wolf is named Athena, yes, like the goddess of wisdom and war, although her personality has nothing to do with her name. She is a sensitive but very beautiful wolf. I have been able to see her in my mind; she is white as snow and has deep blue eyes like the ocean.

"Who smells good?" I asked, playing dumb.

"Alpha Leon, of course," she replied with a sigh.

"Haven't you heard what Mom just told us? He is a dangerous wolf who hates low-level she-wolves."

"But you like him too, and I've caught you thinking about him. I think I like him, and I want to meet his wolf. I know he will take care of me and protect me from danger."

"Are you serious? I don't want to ruin your dreams, so... I better not say anything," I couldn't help my mocking tone.

"In case you didn't know, that's called love at first sight. Don't make fun of me; you're the same," she growled.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything else, don't get angry."

After talking with my mom, who came to wake me up in my room, and having this pleasant chat with my wolf, it was time to get ready to go to university. When I went downstairs, my mother had already left for work.

Today, I would go by public transport. My friend always picks me up on Mondays because she knows I have trouble waking up early that day, hehe.

When I finally arrived at the university, I sent a message to my friend to let her know I was here and to find out where she was.

While waiting for her reply, I headed to my locker. I had to store and take out what I was going to need.

At that moment, I saw Alpha Leon walking in my direction, but his gaze never turned to me. I couldn't help but call him and ask about what had been on my mind since this morning.

"Leon," I said.

Immediately, a growl came from him.

"Alpha Leon," he said while clenching his teeth.

"Sorry, Alpha Leon, ummm, did you call my mom to ask about me?" I was nervous; I couldn't help it.

"Do you know that I am the alpha of this pack and I don't owe you explanations?"

"But..." I was about to reply.

"Be quiet, I'm talking. First, learn to address your superiors. Having lived outside doesn't mean you don't have to follow the rules now, and two, stay as far away from me as possible. I don't have time for outsiders like you."

I couldn't say anything. I was completely frozen by his words. Something inside me was breaking, and I didn't know why.

Then, he simply looked at me from head to toe with a certain disgust that made me cringe in that same place. When he finally left, I could release a big breath that I didn't know I was holding.

"My mother told me not to offend him, and here I go like an idiot to do it. By the goddess," I immersed myself in my thoughts. "Why that hatred towards me? Do I look so bad? Why does he want to get away from me? What's wrong with him?"

"Emi, what are you doing here? You still have your things. You didn't tell me you were going to your locker like 15 minutes ago."

"Ah! Nothing, nothing happened, I just got distracted. Let's go, I have to go store quickly to go to class or we'll be late again."

"Emi, I saw you with the alpha, did something happen?"

"What? Nothing, nothing happened, well, okay, I'll tell you later, yeah."

During our break, we went to the cafeteria, sat at our usual table, and started eating. I was looking around when my eyes landed on the table where Leon was sitting. I couldn't help it.

Everyone at that table was beautiful, but without a doubt, his beauty was incomparable to the others. I stopped looking at him for a moment when he was about to turn, I saw a very pretty girl wearing a mini floral print dress, and the makeup on her face was smoky, nothing to do with the style she was trying to give, but still, she looked gorgeous. As she walked towards Leon's table, she swayed her hips as if she were modeling. When she reached the table, she sat next to Alpha Leon as if they had known each other for years.

"She is Blanca, the most popular and beautiful girl of the pack. She and the alpha are very close. There is a rumor that she is the one who warms his bed. It is also said that she was the mate of the Alpha of the Red Moon pack," my friend told me.

"Was? Why do you say she was?" I asked confused.

"Well, she left him more than a year ago. Rumor has it that it was because of Leon. Although, it is not official if he has accepted her or not because if he chose her, why hasn't he marked her yet? Could he have found his mate? In our pack, it is forbidden to reject your mate, especially when it comes to the future luna of the pack. That would explain why Leon hasn't marked Blanca yet."

"You just said that rejecting your mate is forbidden, so how could she reject her mate?"

"She is not originally from our pack, and I am talking about our pack. We are a pack with a descendant of pure lineage, therefore, we also share that mandate that the goddess imposed on us, other packs do not have that type of prohibition."

"Oh! I understand," I replied.

"Tell me, would you like to know more about that story?"

"What? No, thank you, it's not like I'm going to become the luna of this pack, right?" I scoffed a little.

The truth is that after what happened and after reflecting on my mother's warnings, I came to the conclusion of staying away from him.

"But what about me?" my wolf spoke.

"Stop thinking about him. Soon you will come to the surface, and we will find our mate. Probably a beta, delta, or a gamma like Dad will be our mate for life."
