“Am I being too much? Do you not like this side of me I asked, a hint of uncertainty in my voice.

Benjamin noticed the shift in my mood right away and with a comforting smile, reassured me, “What’s going through your mind? Do you really think I’m that shallow? When I care about someone, I love all of them–their strengths, their flaws. And honestly, I liked how possessive you were just now.”
“It’s because we’re mates, right? You love me, so you’re protective of me, aren’t you?”
I smiled playfully but huffed softly, not quite ready to admit it. “Who’s jealous? I wasn’t jealous-”
Before I could finish my thought, Benjamin pulled down my mask and kissed me.
For a moment, I was completely still, but then I laughed quietly and wrapped my arms around his neck, returning his deep kiss.
I didn’t know how long we stayed like that, but eventually, when the heat of the kiss started to rise again, Benjamin pulled away.
As we walked hand in hand, I couldn’t help but reflect, “You know, I used to envy a certain type of love.”
Benjamin raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “What kind?”
I explained, “The kind where two people grow up together, their love simple, pure, and full of happiness.”
He paused for a moment, then asked, “Isn’t what we have just as good?”
I looked at him, smiling warmly, and nodded. “It’s even better.”
There was no one more perfect for me than him, because he was the mate the Moon Goddess had chosen for me.
I was incredibly lucky to be with him.
I squeezed his hand tighter as we continued walking.
We still had to attend werewolf combat training.
Thankfully, after losing to me in the last competition, Kirsty hadn’t caused any more problems for me.
Every time we crossed paths, Kirsty would choose to avoid me, veering off to take a different route.
Before I knew it, the seven days of training were over.
I felt like I’d lost a bit of weight, although it wasn’t too noticeable.
Once the training finished, I, like the other freshmen, began my major courses.
After completing a set of calculus problems, I grabbed a book from the shelf and began reading for fun.
That evening, I packed up my things and left the library

As soon as I stepped into the dorm, I heard Willa’s voice. “What am I supposed to do? No one in our department knows this minor language. I’m about to lose it.”
Loretta replied, “I don’t get it either! Mornant language is so obscure…
I dropped my bag and asked, “What’s going on, you two”
Loretta pointed to a pile of papers in front of her. “Will’s latest assignment. She has to translate an article in Mornant language, but no one in the entire grade knows it, so she’s really struggling.”
I paused, raising an eyebrow. “Mornant language?”
Willa nodded eagerly, her face lighting up. “Hayley, you’re so smart. Have you ever studied Mornant?”
I sighed and said, “Let me take a look.”
Willa eagerly handed me the stack of papers.
“Can you read it?” Both Loretta and Willa watched me closely, hope in their eyes.
I flipped through the pages quickly, scanning them.
Looking up, I said, “It’s not a big deal. I can understand it.”
The moment I said that, Willa leapt out of her seat, filled with excitement, and hugged me tightly.
“Hayley, please help me!”
She squeezed me so tightly that I could hardly breathe and I hurriedly pushed her away. “Okay, okay, let go of me. I’ll help. Just give me a moment.”
Willa quickly released me, her eyes pleading.
I added, “These aren’t too bad. They’re basic vocab, but the last one’s a bit tricky with some technical terms. Let me know when you need help, and I’ll get it done as soon as I can.”
Willa’s face brightened. “That’s incredible! I’m not in a rush. As long as it’s done sometime this week, that’s fine.”
“Hayley, you’re a lifesaver! You’re a genius, really! You may be an Omega, but you’re way more capable than us Betas!” she said, grinning widely.
I smiled and shook my head. “Alright, I’ll get it done as quickly as possible.”
With that, I started working on the translation.
The article wasn cult, much easier than the business articles Benjamin had given me before.
It took me just two hours to finish translating the first one.
I organized my notes and went to take a shower.
When I finished and was about to leave the bathroom, I heard Loretta scream from the other room.
“Ah!”
