“Miss,” the teddy bear reached out for Mia’s hand but didn’t touch her. “You should join us.”Mia was pleasantly surprised.”M-Me? No, no, no. No thank you.”“Are you sure?” the teddy bear slowly reached out for her hand, making her heart race. “Because I’ll make sure that the wine won’t spill.”Whether it was his weirdly familiar voice or his charming words, Mia couldn’t resist for some reason. She let him grab her hand, and before she knew it, he pulled her in the flow of the music, and her body moved along. Mia never danced in her life. At best, she tapped her foot to the music. That was all she had in terms of experience, but now, she felt so comfortable as the teddy bear led her and made her dance along effortlessly.The crowd mimicked them and moved along in couples as well. Draco, however, couldn’t find a partner to dance with, which frustrated him to no end. His mother was occupied. Even his grandmother was occupied. He truly had no one to dance with. So he got angry and stoppe
Mia wanted to talk with the teddy bear and thank him, but before she could collect her emotions and talk with him, he rushed downstairs.“Why’s he in such a hurry to leave?” she wondered, not knowing that Gabe had been controlling his bladder from bursting while dancing. Nevertheless, Mia went to Kiera and asked, “Who was the guy in the costume?”Kiera paused for a second and said, “It’s Hector. He’s a great dancer, isn’t he?”“Yes. He was so good. I can’t believe he made me dance,” Mia excitedly said. “Now I feel like I can dance if I try.”“Haha,” Kiera laughed a little. She purposely lied about the guy in the costume because she didn’t want Mia to get close to Gabe for obvious reasons. She didn’t want Gabe to end up with someone like Mia.“Um, do you have his number?” Mia asked. “I want to thank him and perhaps give him a treat if possible.”“He’s a great dancer, but he’s not a good man, Mia,” Kiera advised. “I think it’s best if you just forget about him.”“I-Is that so?” Mia felt
A few minutes later.Gabe went to meet Kiera on the rooftop.Zack and Kiera were dancing together while musicians played in the background.Gabe was no longer wearing the teddy bear suit. He could see some other classmates in the crowd, but he didn’t meet them. He waited until the wedding couple finished dancing.“Kiera,” he walked up to her and hesitantly asked, “if you give the 11,000 dollars, I’ll leave.” “Write him a check, darling,” Kiera said.Zack nodded and wrote a check of 12,000 dollars.“Thank you so much,” Gabe was elated. “I wish you both a happy married life.” He shook their hands and left in a hurry.Kiera and Zack looked at each other and smiled a little savagely.Meanwhile, Bart was woken up by a man, and Bart couldn’t believe that he was actually lying down on the toilet floor.What’s more, the alpha system ring on his hand was gone. However, the smart system was still on his nose.He asked the person who woke him up if he stole the ring. He even searched that perso
Bart found Hector’s address and went to his home. Hector was suffering from diarrhea, so he was in the bathroom.It was 2 o’clock at night.Bart didn’t even knock the door. He burst his way in and dragged Hector out of the washroom and began to beat his face black and blue. After punching him enough times, he asked, “Where is it?”“Where is what?” Hector was crying from pain. “Who are you?”“Where the fuck is the ring?”“What ring?” Hector looked baffled, but this only made Bart all the more angry.Bart grabbed the egg boiler and smashed it to Hector’s face repeatedly. After turning his face into a grotesquerie, he asked again. “WHERE IS THE RING?”‘I really don’t know what you’re talking about,’ was what Hector wanted to say, but he couldn’t even utter the words properly anymore. It didn’t look like Hector was the one who stole the ring.“Did someone else steal it after this guy left the bathroom?” Bart wondered.“No. I’ve seen this guy steal it,” Smarta said.So, Bart beat Hector so
Gabe was currently lying down on the mat, trying to sleep, but he wasn’t getting any.“You said I’m an apprentice alpha now, right?”[Yes.] Systa said. [Even though Bart may be drunk, you defeated him with your own guts and strength, so it helped in your level up. You’re an apprentice alpha, so you can feel proud.]“Feel proud? But how? When I became a novice alpha, my body underwent a physical change,” Gabe complained. “However, nothing happened after I became an apprentice alpha.”[That’s not true. You might not have felt it, but the power of your blood has increased significantly, so if you run a marathon now, you’ll be able to finish it much faster than the last time without my help. Not just that, your IQ itself will slowly increase as the new blood steadily enhances your organs. So, you will become a much better version of yourself.]Gabe felt happy hearing that. “If my blood is stronger, I can give some blood to my aunt, right?”[Let’s inject some blood into her veins tomorrow.
The next morning.Gabe woke up to the shouting of a certain man named Lorry. It was one of the guys he took 1000 dollars from. With six-year interest, it became 3000 dollars now.“You said you’d win the marathon and pay me everything at once,” Lorry howled. “So why didn’t you contact me after the marathon had finished? Oh, wait, it’s because you didn’t fucking win. Forget about the first place, you didn’t even get in the top ten.”“I finished the race, Lorry,” Gabe tried to calm him down. “I got a blender.”“What the fuck will I do with that 50-dollar blender, huh?” Lorry fumed. “The only reason I gave you money was because you babysit my kid for a year. Now, I don’t have my kid with me because my wife took him and I’m paying for him and her, and I need as much money as you can give me. So, please give me something.” He started pleading. “Give me something. Anything.”“I wish I could, but I don’t have a single dollar on me,”Gabe pitifully said.“What about the blender? At least give m
“You want me to pay the license and registration fees for publishing my designs, right?” Mia was talking with Kiera. “Alright, I’ll pay.”“If everything goes well, we’ll conduct a fashion show with your designs next week,” Kiera said excitedly. “You should prepare yourself to appear on television, and tell your family members to watch the show as well.”Mia’s heart started beating faster. “O-Okay.”The call ended.“I will appear on television?” Mia smiled with moderate happiness. “I wish Mom and Dad were alive to see this.”Meanwhile, Gabe was coming home, but he needed to buy an injection. He didn’t have the money for that, so he was wondering who he should borrow some money from.He went to Monroe’s grocery store and asked Monroe for ten dollars, but Monroe didn’t give him anything. He shook his head saying, “Sorry, I can’t. You should find yourself a solid job, Bro.”“Ah, yes. I will,” Gabe said and was leaving.Just then, a young man was passing by, and he suddenly turned toward t
The next morning.Nicole slowly opened her eyes and realized that she was sleeping with her chest facing the bed, which confused her for a second because she didn’t sleep in that position for years because it would put too much stress on her chest and heart. And yet, she found herself waking up in that position, with her cheek happily pressing into the pillow.Her body felt stiff, and she wasn’t able to properly open and close her fists. Her bones weren’t willing to listen to her command.It took her a few seconds of time, but she managed to turn around with effort and then eventually sat up. Her whole body was aching. Her spine especially felt sore. Her hands weren’t freely opening or closing.“There’s so much heat in my body, but…” she turned her body and put her feet on the floor. Shock was surfacing up into her face, as she was beginning to realize just how much her body had changed overnight. And she was able to get up from the bed and stand up on her feet all by herself, she cov
