Avery

My body was strong so I was able to walk long distance without resting.

I was getting hungry but there was nothing I could do.

I had to look away begrudgingly from the food stands that were by the side of the road.

They are too tempting for me in my current condition.

What the eyes doesn’t see, the brain won’t grieve over it.

I knew that the plain silver jewelry in my hands can be exchanged for something good. Still, I am not familiar with this city very well.

I might get cheated or I might not be able to exchange it for money.

It was better to wait for when I am very familiar with this city.

Still, if I am pushed to the wall because of my circumstances, I would use. the jewelry to pay for my needs without exchanging it.

I won’t hoard the jewelry.

“Thief! Catch that thief!” A voice screamed and everywhere around me burst into a noisy hubbub.

Someone was trying to rush past me.

I would not have done anything if the person went merrily on his or her

way.

The person might have been deceived by my appearance. The person wanted to push me away roughly.

The kids were still strapped to me.

This person’s malicious push angered me.

Instinctively, my fist rushed out and smacked the person in the cheek.

The person dropped to the ground immediately.

Numerous voices began to surround me.

“Did you see what that woman did?!” A voice whispered but I was able to hear what the person said because of my physique.

“Yeah! She downed the theif with a punch.” Another person answered excitedly.

My lips could not help twitching.

It seemed I did a good deed again.

Injuring Gary and his crew was definitely a good deed.

I can imagine that they have harmed numerous newcomers. Their synergy was too smooth. I will never believe that they have not done the things they intend to do to me to other people.

The person that I punched had not lost consciousness.

He was a good looking man with a presentable clothes. Although the clothes was lowkey, it still can’t hide the luxuriousness of the material.

Why do bad people wear expensive clothes?

Gary was like this and the thief is like this too.

It seemed they have to dress to impress. It would be better to catch their prey off guard if they looked like a person that have no bad intentions. A woman came before me.

Even with the noise they were making, the crowd parted to let her pass Her clothes was lowkey but it is her gestures that showed her elegance. I did not need to ask to see that she was a person in a high position.

I looked down at the thief.

The thief was staring at me maliciously. The resentment in his eyes was too heavy.

His gaze told of how he wished to eat me whole:

I rubbed my nose guiltily.

I could imagine how this thief want to butcher me in his mind.

If I was in his shoes, I would blame myself too.

He should have gone on his way without provoking me.

A single action had doomed him.

“Benefactor, thank you. This thief took my purse.” The new woman that arrived said before she stepped on the thief’s hand.

It was the hand that was holding a light pink purse.

Her heels dug into the thief’s hand and he could not help but release his grip on the purse.

After he released his hands, the woman snatched the purse away from

him.

I could not help the chill that raced down my spine.

This woman was not a soft persimmon that anybody can knead as they want. She seemed like an hedgehog with spikes.

“Call the police so they can take him away. The rate of crime in Zèra city is increasing.” A woman said to her friend and her friend whipped out a phone before calling the authorities.

What the woman said was true.

I just came to Zera city and I encountered two bad situations in a day. The rate of crime is indeed something to worry about.

“Thank you again. Is it possible for us to talk somewhere private?” The woman said.

I nodded before following her lead.

The other onlookers had started to disperse after the woman got her

purse.

The show was over.

I was wary of anybody that approaches me because of my past. experiences.

I did not want to be tricked again,

Although I trusted my gut feeling, I have to take everything else into consideration too.

I had to keep my wariness and suspicions in check.

I did not want my suspicions to harm the future relationships I might have.

My guts was telling me that this woman had no bad intention. It was why I was at ease or I would not have followed her.

Besides, I heard some people whispering that she might want to give me a reward.

Right now, a monetary reward is what I need the moet.

Money would go a long way in my situation.

I followed her with faint anticipation.

I wished she could give me a monetary reward immediately. I don’t care if that thought made me selfish.

In everything, I am going to put myself and my babies first.

If I have to be shameless, I would do it.

This woman was like a charcoal in winter. She came when I was confused on what to do.

I made up my mind to ask her for money if she did not want to give me anything. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

I was willing to be shameless for my survival.

My babies are depending on me. I don’t have time to care about my face or reputation.

Since this woman have come to me, I would not let her go before getting what I want.

The woman took me to a black car that sat like a crouched beast.

She gestured for me to enter but I shook my head.

Following her here was already enough.

Trying to get in her car was pushing the boundaries.

If it was not because I really need money, I would not bother with any reward she might give me.

Although, one personal connection is better than none.

I want to have my foothold in Zera city before I would think of expanding my influence or forging connections.

Besides, I was still wary of this woman.

I could understand that something important had to be in her purse and that was why she was grateful. Still, my suspicions did not want to cease.

For now, I just wanted to collect my reward before finding somewhere to stay and something to eat.

I was already far from the alleyway I dumped Gary and his crew in.

The dead woman’s backer might find it hard to track my whereabouts.

I could sense a werewolf’s aura on this rich woman that lost her purse.

It wasn’t a strong aura so I knew she was not a genuine werewolf. She might be an halfblood at best.

It was one of the reasons I could feel at ease with following her.

I could hold my ground against normal werewolves. Humans were not worth mentioning.

Halfbloods might be strong if they are compared to humans but they won’t be able to fight me.

I knew I could keep myself safe. That was why I followed her here.

It is because I knew that if I wanted to leave, she can not keep me here.

“Ma’am, I can’t get into your car. This place is already private. We can have our discussion here.” I said after going over the words carefully. This woman is going to be my benefactor later.

I did not want to anger her unnecessarily.

What if she did not want to give me money because I offended her?

Even if we are in a private space, people are still watching.

I can not do anything to her if she refused to give me cash.

It was her money and she has the right to do whatever she wants with it. “Okay.” The woman looked at me appreciatively.

For some reason, I was flattered.

Because of my beautiful face, a good majority among the women I have encountered all had a negative opinion of me because of my face.

So when this woman showed a contrary expression, I was pleased. Although I did not really care what people say about me, it won’t go unnoticed if someone had a contrary opinion.

Besides, I hated rumors because they can be destructive./Other people’s opinions was the foundation of rumors.

Rumors can be lethal.

I have experienced the wounds caused by rumors numerous times. This torture device was not far from the hands of my former pack members. Although I knew that not every one I meet would have a good opinion of me, I was appreciative of the ones that have a good impression of me. If I can avoid feeding rumors, I would.

“Ma’am. What did you want to take to me privately about?” I asked.

I could not help the anticipation coating my words.

If not that it would be very rude, I wanted to ask this woman to give me money before she said what she want to say.

Still, I curbed that urge immediately.

I can not offend this benefactor.

She was my ticket out of misery.

“I have something to ask you. Your decision matters. You can consider it as a favor to me.” The woman began and my face began to change.

These words she said could be said to be a red flag.

I don’t know her before but she wanted to ask a favor from me.

No matter how I look at this situation, it seemed fishy.

My dressing should have hinted at my poor financial straits. It is obvious I would not be able to help this woman with anything.

If she needed a bodyguard, I was willing to do that job. A favor was out of the question.

It is not like I was being arrogant.

This woman is obviously well to do. I can’t imagine the scenario of her needing my favor.

She should have seen the drastic change on my face.

She took a deep breath before letting it out.

I continued watching her like a hawk.

“I will give you two options. First option is for me to give you a sum of cash and our encounter would end here.” She began.

I had to use all my willpower to stop myself from nodding.

This option was what I wanted.

I take my reward and we don’t meet each other again.

Still, I waited for her to say the second option. I did not want to interrupt her halfway.

It is not too late to choose the first option after she says her demands.

“The second option is for you to follow me home and be my daughter.” When the woman finished her words, the eyes she was using to look at me was so bright they were blinding.

‘What?‘

This was the only word that was circulating in my mind.
