Chapter 1Chapter One

The library is jam-packed, as it usually is during midterms. But of the hundreds of students in here, only about half are actually studying; the remaining half is split between those snagging a good library sleep and those using the free wifi here for things completely unrelated to studying- like the guy I pass on my way to the shelf typing 'pornhub' on his search bar.

I turn my face away, face involuntarily scrunched up. When I get to the shelves, I grab a few books for my intro to psychology class and go back to my study group table.

Yes, I am part of the studying population.

"So guys, I was thinking it's best to divide and conquer seeing how bulky the course load is-" I say as I drop the textbooks on the table, just to look up and see that all my friends are busy on their phones.

My friends, apparently, aren't part of the studying population.

"Guys" I snap my fingers in front of them to their attention but to no avail. "Hello, earth to y'all"

Still no response.

I reach out and snatch a phone straight out of one of their hands.

"Hey, not cool" the guy, Calum, says and tries to reach out for his phone but I hold it away from his grasp.

"What's not cool is that we came here to study, not watch…" I trail off and look at the phone screen for a few seconds. "the network news?"

Calum uses the opportunity of me being thrown off to grab his phone back. "Yeah, we're watching the breaking headlines" he says

"There was an attack last night" Thea, my bestfriend, says. "At the local farm; all the livestock were brutally murdered, flesh torn and all"

Noah, Thea's boyfriend, speaks up next. "Most people are speculating that it's just a random wild animal attack but there's another crazy theory circulating. With the nature of the attacks and the scratch marks and all, some people believe that-"

"Werewolves are back" Calum finishes the sentence, his voice lowered to sound dark and conspiratorial.

Just as I'm about to respond, someone comes up behind me and places a kiss on my neck before settling down beside me. It is my boyfriend, Jesse.

"What's up, guys?" He says with his signature smile. "I can't help but notice that Eloise is here yet the textbooks are still closed"

"We were just talking about the local farm attack" Thea says

"Oh, yeah, I saw that in the news earlier" Jesse sits up. "What are your theories?"

"I for one think that the whole werewolf thing is completely ridiculous" Thea says. "I mean, there hasn't been a werewolf sighting in years and then what, they just reappear and start killing random animals? Nah"

"But the evidence is there" Calum counters. "Let's be real here, what other creature could have made such claw marks?"

"Uh, I don't know, real wolves?"

"You guys are missing the point here" I cut in, raising my voice above theirs, "point being that they most definitely won't ask us about werewolves during our midterms so if we could please focus and drop our phones" I look pointedly at them one after the other till they give in and drop their phones.

"Thank you" I smile sweetly and open one of the textbooks in front of me. "So as I was saying about dividing and conquering, maybe we'll split it by topic; Thea and Calum should take schools in psychology while Jesse, Noah and I will take-"

"But what if it really was a werewolf attack?" Noah cuts in suddenly. "That would mean werewolves are still living amongst us; that there are werewolves in this school and maybe," he smirks and looks at each of us suspiciously, "there's a werewolf on this table"

"Noah, please let's leave the werewolf tal-" I begin

"If there's a werewolf on this table, it's definitely going to be Calum" Jesse says. "I mean, he's got the hairy and gruff part down"

Calum scratches the stubble on his chin. "Hey, just because I'm a little behind on shaving doesn't make me a monster, I'm not gonna take that accusation lightly, you know" contrary to his words, he is grinning. "If there's a werewolf on this table, it'll most definitely be Eloise: uptight, bossy and oh look, she's twitching, probably hungry for my blood"

I'm indeed twitching, but simply because I'm trying my best to not sucker punch Calum right now.

"Ha ha, very funny" I manage to bite out with a forced smile. "Now, can we please get back to the matter at hand without any more distractions?"

"Okay, alpha wolf" Jesse comments under his breath with a small chuckle and I give him a menacing side glare.

"Sorry, babe" he quickly says, laughter faded out, and pecks mu cheek.

I divide the topics among us and we finally get to study in silence for a while until Calum yawns loudly.

"I can't focus anymore, I'm starving" he says and stretches. "I call for a lunch break"

"You can't call for a lunch break, it's too early" I say

"I'm actually pretty hungry" Thea says. "I wouldn't mind getting something to eat"

"Yeah, same here" Noah says, getting up with Calum and Jesse nods in agreement.

"You should eat something too, El, didn't you skip breakfast?" Thea gets up.

"I'll get something later. Right now, I just want to get past chapter three-"

"Nah, I'll get something for you" Jesse says, getting up. "What do you want?"

I smile gratefully. I haven't eaten because I am short on cash at the moment.

But never would I admit to that.

"An everything bagel with cream cheese and a frappucino, please"

"You got it" he leans down and pecks my lips.

"Ah, so you were hungry," Calum smirks, "I'm not surprised though, werewolves are known to have huge appetites"

I roll my eyes. "Give it a rest, Cal"

He laughs and the four of them walk away, leaving me.

I sigh and organise the textbooks on the table, closing them up after marking the pages.

There's no harm if I take a little break myself.

I think back to the news about the lifestock attack and what it could mean for Krystal City.

I'll have to agree with Thea- it's close to ridiculous to think that werewolves could have done it. I mean, it would've been plausible fifty years ago during the height of the human-werewolf conflict but a lot has changed since then. We won the war. Werewolves were caught and mass executed, save for the few that managed to escape, never to show themselves again. Even if, somehow, there are still some werewolves in Krystal City, they wouldn't dare show themselves by blatantly attacking a farm. And they most definitely won't be hiding in plain sight like Noah thinks; anti-werewolf legislature made sure of that, and from kindergarten, they'd taught us how to identify a werewolf from their physical appearance. It was a simple poem:

'If they have long nails and sharp, pointy teeth,

With long ears and more hair than any human you'll ever meet,

Then it's a big, bad werewolf you see;

Run away before you become its next meal.'

But whatever the cause of the attack was, it doesn't matter. Sure, animals were killed and the farmer suffered a loss, but no human life was lost, so why is everyone making it a big deal?

"You know, when you sit at the group table, you're meant to have a group" a voice says above me, dragging me out of my thoughts.

I look up to see that it's none other than Asher, my…well, basically my archenemy.

Asher and I used to be friends back in elementary and middle school, best friends even, but then high came along and really put a strain on our friendship. We started competing for the same things till the lines blurred and everything became a personal battle. Then, one day during our junior year, he became completely cold towards me and in the blink of an eye, sixteen years of friendship went down the drain.

"You know, when you don't have anything better to say, you shut the fuck up" I retort and stick out my tongue.

"You know, I was just on my way to meet the dean. Now I just have to make him aware that he admitted a child"

"I must be a child prodigy then, since I'm taking most of the same classes with you and getting better grades" I smile sweetly. "But while you're at the dean's, please do make sure to add that fact"

Asher mimics me before walking off.

I roll my eyes and decide that perhaps, I've taken too long a break, so I open one of the textbooks in front of me and pick up my pencil.

Young master Damien's pet

"Who touched you?" he asked, his eyes brooding down at her and when she didn't answer, his voice thundered in the room, "WHO?" The butler who stood near the wall spoke shakily, "Sir, it was Mr. Reverale," Damien's face turned sour, his jaw ticking in anger he turned his face to the side where the butler stood behind. "Bring the man here." "N-now?" stuttered the butler. It was the time of night. Damien who hadn't broken his eye contact with the girl in front of him, pushed his hand against the wall which now rested beside his beautiful girl's head. Turning his body, he first looked at his butler who had his head bowed. With great courage, the butler came to meet his Master's eyes, "Do you have any other better time? Or should it be after I wring your neck?" Damien asked calmly tilting his head. Not a second later, the butler ran out of the room to return back with Mr. Reverale after twenty minutes. "Damien, are we having a late tea party?" Mr. Reverale came to greet but the master of the house had other plans. Spotting the knife that was stuck to the apple on the table, he reached for it to pull it out. Just as Mr. Reverale went to exchange a handshake with him, Damien took hold of his hand to place it on the table. In one swift movement as if he were chopping onions, he chopped the four fingers of the man off his hand making him yelp and cry in pain. "No one touches what is mine. I am sure this will remind you the next time you even think about touching her," sighed Damien as if he were tired of telling people to keep their dirty hands off his belongings. Meet Damien Quinn, a pureblooded vampire who is a complete narcissist, brash with his words and stingy even though he is rich who haggled when he bought a slave from the black market. On the other hand, meet Penelope who believes she is a 'guest' for a few days at the Quinn as she is intent on escaping from the odd vampire who needs therapy. ~ Discord: https://discord.gg/K63uVqN

The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat!

'Kill monsters, eat meat' 'I mean, Kill monsters, save lives. Got it.' 'Tut, I could've sworn that the first one sounded better.' She wasn't a girl looking for freedom or self-righteous liberation by a hero, or whatever shit a girl who suffered for almost all her life would crave. -the shit of a life she was living was horrible, but it was bearable, and so she got used to it. Rather, instead of freedom, what this little missy wanted was money. Lots and lots of them so she never has to worry about the next day. Money - bountiful enough that when she has to spend, she doesn't need to look back or calculate her assets to see how much she has left. Money - bountiful enough to get all the fried chicken she could ever dream of. Yeah, you heard it, fried chicken. For those who did not have money to spare leisurely, getting fried chicken was like a pipe dream to them and she had been one of those unfortunate souls. A comfortable roof above her head and no worries as to when she would get ordered around to steal. No worries about when she would get her next meal-- That was her liberation. And she got it. Just that, she got it most absurdly. Awakened! Those were the people ruling the world, alongside beastly and deadly monsters who threatened the safety of average human beings. And those awakened call the shots. Alice never dreamed she would one day be awakened, and compared to others with their game-like system displaying their attributes and strength; she had a full-grown man whom only she could hear, watching her back at every turn and telling her what to do. He was kinda a pain in the ass but she couldn't complain. It was this gift he had bestowed on her that made her the most powerful Awakened there was with stats that even S-class awakeneds couldn't compare to. She was the boss, now. Mwa-hahahahaha. But life didn't go as easy and leisurely as she planned. With great power comes great responsibility, right? Well, in her case with great power comes great hunger. She couldn't go a moment without getting hungry and her stomach had become a bottomless pit. And to get food, she needed money, and to get money, she had to hunt monsters. The monsters plagued humanity, causing catastrophes and taking lives mercilessly. Those monsters, as scary as they may be, were her target and she had to face them head-on. The bigger the monsters the more money she would gain. Yeah, that was the plan, but... This guy acting as her system seemed to have other plans, putting her at the forefront of 'justice' and having her clean the mess he somewhat created. 'Ugh, I can already sense a shadow of foreboding. Someone, please tell me I'm not acting the main character role. I just want to eat, okay?'

The Prince of Military Academy Is Actually A Girl!

After dying from a strange terminal illness, Ling Lan was reborn into a world 10000 years into the future. Although she dearly wished she could just live a peaceful and uneventful life in her new healthy body, fate had other plans ... Forced to disguise herself as a boy just so she could inherit her deceased father's premium military benefits, Ling Lan's journey to adulthood was full of challenges. After much difficulty, she finally turned sixteen when she could drop the charade. But before she could grasp her newfound freedom to get married and start her own family, a twist of fate results in her being thrown into the Federation's top military boys' school. With these twists of fate, Ling Lan had little choice but to walk further and further down a path of no return, one of cold and aloof dominance ... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ryuxenji the translator here. :3 Here are some other things you should know: 1) This story is NOT primarily a romance. QI's system right now categorizes all novels taken from the female novel Chinese site (起点女生网) as 'romance' without fail, regardless of whether they truly are romance. So, if you are here just for the romance, you might want to find a different novel. There will be some romance eventually, but most of this novel is Sci-Fi/Xianxia with a lot of world-building and character development. 2) I use British spelling. So, please ensure spelling errors are really errors before reporting them. 3) No matter what the release rate up top says, the guaranteed release rate right now is 1 chp/day (a.k.a. 7 chps/week). All else is extra at my discretion. (I'll try my best, but RL responsibilities come first.)

Reborn As Cursed Alpha's Mate

What happens when a goddess falls in love with a shifter? Asara; the goddess of love, was punished by her father, the god of thunder. Her crime being falling in love with a mortal shifter Alpha. To pay for her sins she was reborn as Cassandra LeBlanc; a mortal Princess in the magical Kingdom of Speldaria. Her family and kingdom, except her middle sister, shunned her for she was born without any magical abilities and she had no recollections of her true identity. Her betrothed, the powerful mage commander of the Speldaria, was unbothered by her. He wished for someone strong. Cassandra’s life was toppled when she was gifted a warrior slave by the mighty Alpha of Dusartine. She was asked to take part in the Yearly Arena Event by collaborating with the warrior. Cassandra who hated ‘The Arena’ with her very breath. A place where blood flowed like wine and life was cheaper than the very air they breathed didn't understand her purpose in it. On top of that, the mysterious warrior affected her in unimaginable ways. His hypnotic gaze unsettled her. His rare essence overwhelmed her. His muscular bronzed body consumed her with sinful thoughts. Even the dreams of her past life plagued her. When ‘The Arena' began the hidden agendas and underlying truths came to light and Cassandra was played a hand of fate. She was left with no choice but to give in and choose a path. The question would be. How will Cassandra grapple once she learns of the curse placed on her? Will she be able to obtain her magical abilities and stand up to her father? Who will help her along the journey? ~Excerpt~ Then she felt him, all of him. All his ruggedness. The strength of his arm. The softness of his lips. The grip of his hand. The warmth of his breath. Every muscle in her body went taut at the implications of sleeping in a man’s arms. She had never slept in a male’s embrace before. Her whole skin tingled like tiny sparks dancing on the very parts that connected with him. The crevices of her brain had these memories which weren't hers. This touch somehow didn't seem foreign to her. She felt safe in his soothing embrace and didn't wish to push him away and yet she knew this was far from appropriate. Cassandra tried to wriggle out of his hold, his arms seemed to be built from iron for they wouldn't budge. The light garment she had worn had lifted from her milky thigh baring it as his bronzed muscular one was draped on it. And now she could sense something poking her back. Her eyes suddenly expanded from the realisation and Cassandra fully panicked. “Let go!” She voiced out, heavily. Siroos slowly lifted his leg and slackened his hold on her waist so she could shuffle away. He had awakened when she had stiffened for the first time but wished to behold what she would try. With eyes blown wide she stole a glance towards the man who had her wrapped in his embrace like a precious treasure, his treasure. His molten gold eyes had flickered open and there was this softness and want with which he stared at her. Those soft brown curls cascaded over his eyes as he forgot to blink, watching the timeless beauty that she was. Her one-of-a-kind fragrance was a torture to his senses. How he wished to grab her dainty ankle, pull her from it and have her sprawled underneath him. To kiss the very skin that oozed such scent which was driving him insane. Instead, he bent his arm and placed it under his cheek using it like a pillow to watch her with desire-filled eyes. The awkward lull between them prolonged as Cassandra cleared her throat. “Did you have to climb on me to sleep?” “It wasn't intentional but was certainly enticing and definitely won't be the last time.” His deeply hypnotic voice was even more alluring this early in the morning as it resonated all around her. The book cover is mine.
