The Enthusiastic Roommate 

Sylvia's POV:

Several dormitories were assigned for girls they were all interconnected through small pathways, hooded with tall redwood trees on either side.

The sunlight sprinkled on my body through the branches, making me feel warm and cozy.

My dormitory was located on the innermost side of the school.

Although it was a remote place, it was brightly lit.

The dorms were allocated based on the classes, and they had assigned a twin room for me.

But when I remembered that I was the only she-wolf on the list of Class A, I thought I should stay alone.

Thinking of this, I breathed a sigh of relief and randomly picked a bed.

However, as soon as I put my luggage down, a pretty she-wolf with short hair darted inside, carrying her luggage; she was sweating profusely.

It looked like she was my roommate.

I hadn't seen her before — she looked very unfamiliar.

I wondered if she was from another class.

She put the bag down and began gasping for breath.

Then, she took a water bottle out of the bag and drank it in one gulp.

"I'm exhausted!" I was hesitant to initiate a conversation.

After all, lots of students here despised me because I used to be a slave.

But seeing her like this, I couldn't stop myself.

I walked over and handed her a tissue.

"Wipe your face.Did you climb the stairs?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect an enormous castle not to have an elevator.I have a lot of luggage." The she-wolf shook her head and took the tissue from me to wipe her face.

"Thank you.My name is Flora, and I'm from Silver Moon Pack.I was ranked twelfth.I am here to replace Toby after he got kicked out of Class A."

Flora's friendliness surprised me.

Hearing her words, I wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.

"Flora, there is an elevator in this castle." Flora looked horrified.

"There is an elevator? How is it possible? I looked for it everywhere."

"The elevator is behind the bookshelf on the first floor.I also looked for it for a long time.Not many students live in this building, so it's not surprising that you didn't find it," I said in a low voice because I didn't want to irritate her.

"What? How can we spot the elevator if they keep it in such a secret place?" Flora grunted, patting her leg.

"I'll take you there later. You get some rest first." I grabbed her luggage and helped her carry it inside.

"This is very heavy." She quickly took the big bag in my hand and shook her head.

"I can do it myself." I smiled and released my grip on the bag.

Just then, I remembered her self-introduction.

didn't expect her to be from the same pack as Alina's.

The mere thought of Alina made my stomach churn.

"By the way, Alina of our pack is also here," Flora said excitedly as she sorted the things in her luggage.

"Alina is the only child of our Alpha.Alpha and Luna have always doted on her ever since she was a child.She is smart, intelligent, beautiful, and the dream girl of many werewolves in our pack.If there is a chance, you can meet her."

I squeezed the duster cloth in my hand as my heart sank with dejection.I couldn't help but envy Alina for having such loving parents.

She was not an orphan like me, whom everyone loathed.

"What's wrong with you?"

Flora's confused voice dragged me back to reality.

I quickly calmed myself down and wiped the table.

"Nothing. You go on.II'm listening."

"Well, that's practically all I know.I mean, it's not like Alina and I are friends or something."

Flora let out a weary sigh and leaned closer to me.

"But let me tell you a secret. Warren, who was ranked third, has actually been Alina's guard since childhood.He had no intention of studying in the Royal Military School but ended up changing his mind for Alina." I wracked my brains to recall Warren.

I vaguely remembered him — he was the silent, handsome werewolf.

"By the way, these are gifts from for you.I brought them from my pack," Flora said as she took out different things from her bag and placed them on my table.

She then helped me with my luggage.

Accidentally, the cloth bag my mother had left for me fell at her feet, and the contents inside scattered out.I hurriedly bent down to pick my things.

Just then, Flora exclaimed in surprise, "The pattern looks familiar!"

I looked up in surprise and quickly took out the piece of cloth from the cloth bag.I gave it to Flora.

On the piece of cloth, there was an intricate pattern sewn with gold threads.

Before my mother died, she shoved this thing into my hand and asked me to find my father.

Although she didn't get the chance to tell me anything more, I thought this pattern must have something to do with my father.

I stared at Flora with anticipation, trying to find clues in her brooding face.

She took the piece of cloth from me and looked at it carefully.

"This should be the badge of our pack."

"Really?"

Her words made me feel so excited.

Finally, I got a clue about my father.

"But it's a style that was used a long time ago.It's not being used now.Since sewing this pattern was too cumbersome and time- consuming, a simplified version was designed later."

After saying this, Flora took out her clothes and showed them to me.

Sure enough, the pattern on her clothes was simpler.

But it could be seen at a glance that the core of the two patterns was the same.

Although the clues were vague, at least they showed that my father might be a member of her pack.

I took Flora's clothes and compared them with my piece of cloth carefully.I wasn't only surprised but also nervous.I didn't know what kind of werewolf my father was.I wasn't even sure if he would be happy if he knew my existence.

Or would he loathe me if he found out that I used to be a slave? "How did you have this?"

Flora asked curiously, tilting her head.I was about to answer her question, but Yana stopped me.

"Don't tell her, dear.It's better to be cautious about this matter. You've just met Flora, and you don't know her that much yet.What if she can't be trusted? What if she divulges your secret and someone takes advantage of it?"

Yana was right.I was just too anxious.So I pretended that it was nothing important and returned Flora's clothes to her.

"I'm just a little curious.I only find this pattern very beautiful, so I keep it.But I don't know where it came from.Thank you for telling me."

"Oh, that's fine."

Flora waved her hand, folded the clothes, and put them back into her closet.

"You can ask me anything about my pack in the future.I'm willing to answer all your questions."

She was an enthusiastic and energetic she wolf who seemed to have an inexhaustible amount of energy.

At this moment, she rushed to my table and said, "Come on, try this specialty I brought."

As she spoke, she quickly opened the package, and I saw a stack of brown-red meat inside.I picked up one piece and smelled it.

It seemed very delicious.

"What's this?" I asked curiously.

"Eat it first. Then I'll tell you what it is."

Flora's eyes lit up.

It was as if she was trying her best to sell her specialty.I couldn't resist her enthusiasm, so I took a small bite.

It tasted salty and chewy at the same time.

"Hmm… It's yummy!" I was shocked.! didn't expect that such this ordinary-looking meat could taste so good.I ate up the finger- sized meat in one breath and couldn't help taking another one.

"Can I also share this with my friends?" I thought that Harry and Blair would like it too.

But as for Rufus, I wasn't sure.After all, he looked very picky.

"Yes, of course! I can't wait for you to do that.Maybe you can help me with the promotion so that the rat jerky of my family will be totally salable." Flora was so excited that she grabbed my hands and yelled.

"Wait… What did you just say?" I asked.

My mind went blank for a moment.

"Rat jerky.It's the specialty of our pack," Flora said with a grin.

It seemed that she didn't even notice anything unusual in my reaction.

As soon as she finished her words, I immediately dropped the meat and ran straight to the bathroom.

I only came out after half an hour.I vomited so hard that my eyes turned red.

Enduring the nausea in my stomach, I took the candy from Flora and stuffed it directly into my mouth.

Fortunately, the fruity fragrance temporarily suppressed the meaty taste in my mouth.

"Sylvia, I'm so sorry.I didn't know you were afraid of rats," Flora said guiltily.

She gripped the hem of her shirt and frowned.

I shook my head.

"It's not your fault. We've just met each other, so I don't expect you to know it." I had been afraid of rats since I was a child.

And Cherry used to put dead rats on my bed, so my fear had deepened.

Flora and I then went to the canteen to find something to eat.

But we were late, so there was no food left.

"Why don't we just go out to eat?"

Flora suggested, rubbing her hungry stomach.

I looked up at the high crescent moon and stars in the sky outside.I hesitated for a moment.

But when I saw that Flora was weak because of hunger, I finally agreed to her suggestion.

But as soon as we reached the gate, we were stopped by the guards.

"Haven't you read the students' code of conduct? No one is allowed to go out of the academy after nine o'clock in the evening.Someone will go to the dormitories to check on you. If they find out that you're minging your points will be deducted" I quickly looked up at the clock tower in the distance.

There were only five minutes left before the roll call.
