“Unlock the door!” Hangrily kicked the door. I shifted into wolf form and butted the door several times. I didn’t listen to what he was

saying.

After he finished speaking, he came closer and stood beside me. This time, he didn’t utter those self–serving platitudes, going straight to the point. “Write a letter of forgiveness for Tanner. From now on, she won’t bother you again, and I won’t come after you.”

I stopped abruptly. I turned, staring at him in disbelief.“What did you say?”

The kidnapping was only a secondary offense. As long as you write a letter of forgiveness, considering her current condition, and with proper handling, she won’t go to jail.”

‘Slap-!” I gave him a hard blow. I was so angry I could barely breathe.“Don’t even think about it. I absolutely won’t write it. I’ll make sure she serves a life sentence! You broke your oath to the Luna Goddess! I will make you pay!”

Jason’s face was turned by the blow, showing the imprint of my fingers. He didn’t get angry, but turned his face back and continued, “Wouldn’t it be better to resolve this? You can’t win; you’ll only end up hurt. If you rely on Xander to help you, you’ll be disappointed. If he wanted to help, he would have already. He was just playing with you. Now that he has you, he won’t invest more in you.”

‘Even if you don’t care about your own life, think of your parents, your grandmother, and your uncle.”

I was utterly shocked. I looked at him, chilled to the bone, as if seeing a terrifying monster. My eyes were reddening as I backed away.“… You… you’re actually threatening me with my family?! Are you a Head Warrior?” My voice trembled; my hands trembled. I thought even if he was cruel enough to hurt me, that would be the worst.

‘Just agree,” Jason said, suppressing his pain. He watched me retreat in fear and helplessness, feeling my hatred. For a moment, he felt a strange sense of exhilaration. She should hate him; sometimes, hate is a kind of bond.

I breathed deeply, afraid of losing control and biting him to death. I wanted to grab onto something, anything, but I was surrounded by a precipice; I felt like I was about to fall.

‘Open the door,” a cold voice came from outside.

I was dazed, as if hearing a distant chant.

The door opened. Xander stood outside. Behind him were a surprised Zane and a guilt–ridden Mandy.

Jason turned to look outside, his eyes dead. I also turned, my pale face of despair visible to him. I couldn’t hide the blankness in my eyes, like a small animal cornered in a forest fire. No, I was a wolf driven to\a desperate corner…

Why lock the door during lunch?” Xander walked in, going to my side, supporting my trembling legs.“Still hungry?”

I softly shook my head. The warmth of his hand on my lower back grounded me.

I steadied myself, shifting back into human, and walked out.

‘Are you alright?” Zane asked worriedly.

I shook my head again, slowly walking down the corridor. Zane followed.
