I stood there, staring down at the open bag, gasping sharply.
My pupils dilated.
“Ultra-thin,”
“ribbed,”
“strawberry flavored”

What?! What were these?!
Time rewound, the image of a female werewolf frantically grabbing items from the shelves, then carrying the bag back to the lake….
such a long, arduous journey… if only I had glanced at the contents… wuwu~~~
“Th-th-this… that… I, I… I, I… I grabbed the wrong things.”
My voice was weak.
I bent down, buried those boxes at the bottom, and quickly zipped up the bag.
“Grabbed the wrong things?”
Xander looked doubtful.”You grabbed the wrong things more than once?”
I was embarrassed, wanting to throw myself into the lake.”…The situation… was a bit complicated.”
Xander:”How complicated? Did the convenience store require customers to choose items blindfolded, or they wouldn’t sell anything? Or did you shift to wolf and buy these things?”
Me:”…”
I had to tell the truth.”I was on a phone call at the time, and didn’t look at the items on the shelves. I just… randomly grabbed some. Xander suddenly understood.”Ah, so you went to the convenience store to make a phone call.*
His eyes flashed with a chilling aura. His alpha breath tightly trapped me.”But who were you talking to so intently that it made you blind?”
I felt defeated.”…Summer.”
Xander chuckled. His aura softened immediately.
He turned, gazing at the twinkling lights on the distant lakeshore, saying nothing.
A cold mist enveloped him.
Ugh, he’s angry.
I sat down. Okay, I admitted I deliberately avoided him to make that call.
The fatal thing was that he discovered this “terrible” bag of items.
After watching the lake for a while, I said casually, “Mr. Shaw, do you want some snacks? I bought chocolate.”
Xander glanced at me coolly.”The one next to the strawberry-flavored ones? Really?”
Me, numb:”…”
My wolf went crazy, “PLEASE DON’T RUB SALT IN THE WOUND!”
Ignoring the strawberry-flavored ones, I asked, “Are you thirsty? I bought several types of drinks, and mineral water too.
Xander: “Didn’t you thoughtfully buy me some strong liquor? I thought since you didn’t get to drink the Petrus Mr. Winter sent,

you were compensating me.”
I was struck twice more.
I got annoyed, pulled out a borsie of strong liquor from the bag, opened it, and handed to him. “That’s right, I’m specially compensating you, drink it.”
The strong smell of alcohol made Xander frown Sophia, what good would poisoning the future alpha do you?”
Me:”…”
HOW DID IT BECOME POISONING?! JUST ALCOHOL!” My wolf was even more speechless.
I took a big gulp, intending to finish it and retort that I’d tried it and it wasn’t poisonous, but the moment it touched my wave of heat burned from my throat to my stomach.
Damn! So strong!

I considered myself to have a decent alcohol tolerance; I’d had strong liquor at dinner parties, but none as potent as this one
I coughed, covering my mouth.
Xander gently patted my back.”Who told you to drink that? Are you okay?”
I waved my hand, indicating I was fine.
“I tried it for you, this liquor… forget it, you shouldn’t drink it, it’s a bit harsh.”
If I made him sick, Luna and alpha of the MoonCloud Pack would skin me alive and hang me upside down at the Kingston Building’s entrance.
Xander suddenly laughed.
“You still have some conscience.”
His arm reached across me, taking the large bag of inexplicable odds and ends.
“What are you doing!”
I quickly snatched it back, my nervousness as if he had stolen my gold,
‘Don’t be nervous, I just want to get you some water to rinse your mouth.”
Tll do it myself!”
I hugged the bag tightly, tied two tight knots, and secretly hid it by my feet.
Xander:”…”
In the distance, a figure was approaching along the lakeshore.
“Let’s go.”
I was considering throwing the whole bag away when Xander suddenly pulled my arm, and the next moment, my hand was in his
