Welcome To Hoan
Istane ut my riction in the mingine, not
recognizing the girl in dient al me. She has straight blond ha that stops directly above her shoulders. Her lips are a bright redund plump.like a ripe fruit. Her checks have a temporary blush, and her makeup is done to perfection. The only thing recognizable was the deep blue eyes. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
She has a shart body con dress that stops mid-thigh and is black in coler, the sleeves made in tiny straps with the neckline an inviting Vthat shows too much clewage. Siker pearl earrings are dangling from her ear and a gold choker
necklace around her neck.
She looks nothing less to a hooker that is seen in dark streets at night, making money at an ungodly hour. But she was the perfect disguisemeaded to get out of here, and she came to life all thanks to Lana.
Sald Lana is holding a can of spray above me as I remain Seated on the wooden chair. It’s made of natural materials
such as leaves, pine needles, and some others like that. I
don’t know each element used to make it, but it helps to
mask one’s scent from werewolves. Anyone who uses it just
smells like dirt and earth to us.
Our room is in disarray as we hadn’t bothered to clean
up while working and there’s a duffel bag on my bed with
our clothes and other useful toiletries in there. We aren’t

“1 look like a slut!” I woice out.cringing at my
appearance in the mirror.
She crosses her am over her chest and cits her head to the side. “Well, you said to make you look the opposite of you. And the opposite of you isn’t someone who has ‘I’m virgin’ written on their forehead.”
“I don’t have ima virpin’ witten en my lurehead.” I roll
my eyes at her
“Oh, rally? And when last wad ” shaved into anyol your holes?” She blatantly as shocking me at her choice of words. My mouth hand open and closes like a fish out of
“Just as I thought. Never. So, embrace your slutty side
because that’s what’s going to help you now. You don’t look
or smell like yourself, and no one will recognize you.” She
smoothens my blond hair wig
“Even His Highness’ scent on you is gone.”
She pats my shoulder before walking to the closet so
she could change into a new pair of denim shorts and top.
To be frank, she is right. The goal is to get out of campus
and town without being noticed. My outlit calls formato witmelon but may not the kind i’m running from. Ruan

My scent has been masked, and even the little of Regan’s scane lingering on my body is wiped off with Lana’s spray. That’s why most students felt intimidated by me throughout today and couldn’t walk up to me.

“I don’t need this, but justitse.” Land also uprays
herself before going to pick the duhel bag “Okay, anything else?” She asks while stand up to follow her towards the
room door. Itake look once more around the room before
closing the door behind me.
We head down the hallway, passing by some students
who give me curious looks, but lignore them all. Lana’s car is
parked in the parking lot. She’s a sophomore, so she‘s
allowed to have her car in campus. I slid into the passenger’s
Seat while she gets into the driver’s side.
“Buckle up. It’s going to be a long five-hour drive.” She
arnaunch as the starts up the milion i lankaround to
Hampus. I suddenly feel a dull ache in my heart at the
thought af leaving Las Angeles, my home. Or maybe it’s the
thought of
wine Reagan.
i shake my head out of that thought and decide to relax
into my seat. The time is 2:15 night now. And the weather is
warm with the sun glaring down at us from above. Lana’s car
is a convertible, but the wind blowing through our hair makes it all worth it. I never had a car as my parents couldn’t
afford it, and I was terrible at saving. But I have been trying to, so at least before I graduate from college might be able
to afford one.
I take out a pair of black sunglasses and put them on as I lean further into my seat. I stretch my hand out through the window.playfully gliding it through the air. Lana reaches for the radio and scrolls through the channels for her preferred music. She stops when “Boyfriend’ by Selena Gomez comes on. I smile as she begins to sing along and moves with the
beat.
Truthfully, I’m not surprised she’s on this trip with me.
Lana was the wild type that doesn’t like to stay in the same
spot for too long. If she hadn’t come with me, she would
have eventually traveled to somewhere else to visit one of
those numerous boyfriends she has. She has the on and off thing with them, so when she leaves, they‘re free to go out

“Don’t be too much. It’s not th e rtaining.” I mutter before turning my hand to my window side and closing my
eyes behind the sunglass. I suddenly feel wakandi exhausted, like a part of me is being ripped away. This feeling is so different and only intensifies when I see the sign that W . “Now leaving. Los Angeles.’
We were at Bakersfield when I decided to take off my
wig and move to the back seat. This way, I could change my outfit into somathing more appropnate and comfortable. I
don’t think my aunt would like ting me dressed as a
tramp. Reagan might have realized I was gone by now, I had told him my das would and by four, and it already is. Oh,
he’ll be pissed.
Lexi might be pissed too, considering i left without telling her, and Reagan might blame her once more. But
now’s not the time to feel guilty. I have come too far to go
back now. Just a few more hours, and we’ll be in Oakland.
We bought lunch from a drive-through because it will be
stupid to wait and eat in a restaurant. That would take time,
and someone might recognize me as I don’t have my disguise on. Reagan would have alerted all werewolves in

re you alright? You look like shit.” Lana voices out as shes me through the corneal her eyes..
I sigh as I watch the city pass by us before my eyes drop ence more to sleep. I can barely muscle as my strength drains out of my body. This agonizing feeling ko maybe even worse than when Brad had rejected me As a Werewolf, I’ve never been the weak before. It’s all new to me. Werewolves hardly sick. Whenever our human bodies incapacitated from any condition or we get any form of injury, our wolves quickly heal us, and we abruptly get back to mormal. It’s only if our wolves get weak, like when Brad rejected me that our health deteriorates with nothing to help us. Some
Werewolves might even experience death in the process.
Wolf‘s band might also weaken our wolves and stop us
from healing fast. Excess of it might even kill our wolves and
us in the process. Hunters use it to capture werewolves that

and human. Wielves who will humans ar abiluci tham will be hunted down and either imprimandoklad hy said

But right raw, li don’t have a hint wolf’s bane in my system. just this empty feeling inside of me, ating me from the inside out. I feelxxhausted and sick, wanting to throw up my lunch.
I’m shakan awake just then by Lan, and my eyes sna open to see the sun setting in the distance. The orange glow of the sky mixing with the blue as we drive pastres alter
“Wake up, sleepyhead. I need directional Lana tells me as I stand up straight in my seat. The red seems Familiar, and I can recognize the daw marks on the trees we sawly Dass by. They’re meant as a means of warning for rogue werewolves or any other beasts net welcomed.
I direct Lana into a dirt road leading away from the highway. It’s silent here, and only the sound of crickets can
be heard as we move further down the dirt tracks. I ask Lana
for the time as it was getting very dark and my phone was
switched off. I didn’t want Reagan to be able to track it,
neither do I wish for my phone to be bombarded with calls
and text messages demanding me to come back. I had
already called my parents in the morning and chat with them
for a little while. And as for my aunt, she doesn’t even know

Red Moon Pack is cut out from the rest of the world. They like living in isolation and don’t take intruders very kindly
They also have why old customs and beliefs about how
she-wolf is meant to only stay at home, cook, clean and take care of the kids. While the male makes decisions, hunt and
protects both his pack and family.
We suddenly hear the sound of a wall’s howl, and soon, numerous others follow. From the corner of my eyes, I see Lana visibly shaking as she grips the steering wheel with her Eyes wide open in fright
I’m sitting comfortably, though, not dazed by the
sounds.
She looks to me, unsure, but regains her composure when she sees my calm expression,
We then hear heavy and loud paws hitting the face of
the earth beside us, in-between the trees, along with loud
Snarls echoing through the night. I turn to see large but fast
Werewolves, moving in the shadows and obviously trailing
after us. I’m sure they could smell we have no scents, and
the car comes to a wretching hal directly in front of the rült. His both barve in a smarl, and Lana jumps in light beside mat. She turns to me, and igle hera uring smile as she be hershmering tingen.
I hearother wärewolves beside us come to a halt, but loud howling sounds through the forest. The Alpha werewolf

The schewing on her bottom lip and I look down at her lap
to see her hands visibly shaking. Her face is pale and her eyes
are wide open.
I stare at her in question, but she only shakes her head.
I don’t know why she seems so scared when I’ve told
her we’ll be fine. These werewolves know me and just can’t
recognize me now because of my masked scent. She should
feel relaxed since I am. They’re not rague werewolves that
will kill, and the fact that the Alpha with red eyes is present
should convince her. I don’t know why, but I feel something
else is wrong with her.
The big alpha werewolf comes to stand beside my side
of the car, prowling lowly at us before his sharp eyes rest
solely on me. I lean on the door of the convertible before
lifting an eyebrow at him.

The were alics his head to the side, his guard

*Just here to visit my aunt, along with my friend.” I gesture to Lanah beside me, whe’s hiding her face away! ignore her agitate look to stare back at Alpha Jace. It’s funny because Lana is always the fearless one.
The Alpha leans his head further to the side to stare at
Lana for a while. Maybe longer than necessary before
Snapping his eyes back to me. He pauses before nodding for
us to go on, and i nudge Lana to keep on driving
Leaving behind the Alpha werewolf, still standing at his
initial position and staring at us as we drive away, I finally
turn to Lana in question
“What’s wrong?”
She doesn’t answer yet, but her palm is visibly shaking
on the staring wheel. I’m scared she might drive us into a
