Johnathan's POV
Early in the morning, the sun shone through my white gauze veils as I woke up from a 2-meter private custom Frette-brand oversized bed.
I pushed open the floor-to-ceiling windows and walked towards the balcony, looking out at the sea not far away. It was a detached villa with no neighbors next to it, only mountains, and the surrounding area was quiet with only the sound of birds chirping. The sun was just rising over the distant sea horizon, accompanied by a cool breeze that soothed the mood a lot.
In fact, I shouldn't have come here. Six years ago, I had just turned 18 and officially became the supreme leader of Sun River, the strongest werewolf pack in the world. I was the most potent lycan in the world. But I have an Achilles' Heel: I can't sense my mate. And it seemed that I was born with this fatal weakness.
As the supreme leader of a pack, it is my responsibility to pass on my powerful genes. But finding a mate is not easy, especially when I have lost the ability to sense it. After completing the ritual of appointing an alpha at the age of 18, I made an excuse for myself, claiming that I was going on a retreat to train to strengthen myself and take on the responsibility of protecting the pack. Then I left. I did keep training to strengthen myself, but more importantly, I kept visiting famous doctors from all over the world pack to see if I had lost the ability to sense my mate because of some disease. I wanted to find a mate through therapy.
Six years on, I still haven't found my mate. Although I have dated quite a few girlfriends during this time, each one just didn't feel right to me. I think that although I cannot sense who my mate is, my body as a whole can help me identify who is not my mate. I've met all the good and famous women in the werewolf world, but none of them is my mate. My Uncle Ferry has been reminding me a lot lately that it's time to take Luna home and finish my reproductive duties. He raised and taught me how to be a man and train me into a strong alpha after my father died when I was only a baby. I respect my uncle Ferry just like I respect my father. I don't want to fail him in anything. That's why I told him that I needed to go to the human world to do something. And I called Oscar, my father's former Beta and now the president of a college in the human world, and told him I would be staying with him for a while.
Oscar thought for a while and replied, "This is the school your father invested in building, and you can actually consider this your home. However, this school consists primarily of human students. Our werewolf and human worlds have a pact: not to interfere with each other's world. You are so outstanding that it is hard for people not to notice you. They might be curious about who you are after time. Recently it happens to be the start of the new students; I suggest you pretend to be a freshman who has returned from a break from school to travel and enroll together. "
"Sounds good. "Oscar is a very reliable person and makes a very workable suggestion." So which faculty are you going to put me in? "
"I think you must have your things to take care of and need more free time." Oscar thought about it for a while, looked me up and down, and finally said with a definite smile, "Why don't you go to an art college and study costume acting?"
In fact, I was not surprised by his suggestion - I am 6 feet 1 inch tall, a thick blond hair, and tanned skin. Due to years of intense training, my body shape is better than the average human model; and due to the excellent genes of alpha, my features are very superior, just like a movie star. Most importantly, I have a very attractive pair of emerald green eyes.
"Okay, that's it. Send me an email later with the detailed schedule."
Not long after Oscar left, I received the schedule of curriculum. The following Monday was the freshman welcome session.
I hadn't been to the Human World for a long time, and the last time I was here was an accident when I was nine years old.
I turned on my Macbook and googled the latest clothing information in the Human World - I didn't want to be a modeling-major freshman who was unaware of current trends. I didn't care much about fashion before because my exclusive customer designer would take care of everything for me. The point is that I look good in everything I wear and I don't need to follow the so-called fashion at all.
I opened the official websites of Gucci, Givenchy, Armani and other luxury goods and browsed around, and ordered all the current hot models to be sent over. After the maid put all the delivered clothes into the checkroom, I didn't care too much. After all, going to school was not my real purpose. I was now escaping from the search for Luna's routine to come on vacation.
It's Monday and it's time to go to Shealther College for the student welcome party in the morning. I walked back to my room from the balcony, Tony, the housekeeper, had already prepared what I should wear and what I should bring, and breakfast was ready in the downstairs dining room. Everything was ready to go.
At 7:30 I had everything ready and got into the Rolls Royce Tony had arranged for me and headed to school.
In the car, the phone rang. Some messages from Daniel, Sam and Carl. They are the alpha heirs of the other packs. We had a group chat.
Since our grandfather signed the territorial peace agreement, several major packs have maintained a peaceful relationship with each other. I have known several alphas since we were kids and have remained friendly.
They have been coming to this school for two years now and today said they would follow me to the freshman welcome ceremony to welcome me.
"Welcome, Johnathan," said Daniel, the 24-year-old alpha heir of the second strongest pack (Star River). Although he's second only to my alpha, he's actually quite different from me and is a very NICE person.
"It's great that we can play football together again. I have every hot girl's phone number and I don't mind sharing it." Sam of Sand River pack sent a message. He was only 22, but already a popular figure in campus. He's a rugby star and flirtatious.
"Why don't we go to a bar tonight and have a drink to celebrate?" Carl said, though it was nothing like the words he would say. He's the heir to the Stone River pack, and his favorite thing to do in his spare time is to read quietly. I had heard that he was a famous outstanding student at the university.
Sam was very appreciative of Carl's offer. After two minutes, I replied, "Yes". Then I threw the phone aside and stopped paying attention to the messages.
When I arrived at the entrance at 7:50, as Oscar expected, there were a lot of students, mostly girls, who liked to watch the action. Oscar personally greeted me at the door and opened the car door for me. I got out of the car and followed Oscar straight to my destination. I didn't need to wait for the three of them, they drove themselves to the school and needed to go park, and I bet they knew the way.
"In the campus, I'll just call you Johnathan. I've arranged for you to have a seat in the front row. If you get bored halfway through, you can just leave." I nodded my approval to Oscar.
Since arriving at the school, I had somehow felt a dry, hot thirst, a bad feeling that felt like I could lose my temper at any moment. I had a bad temper. I walked out to get a cup of coffee just as my phone rang.
I swiped it open and said "Hello". Suddenly I felt like I was loaded with something, and a warm stream of water flowed down my belly.
I looked down and saw that I had spilled a cup of coffee on my body. I frowned furiously and slowly lowered my hand with the phone. I looked up to see a brown-haired girl with a frightened look on her face looking at me. She was thin, fair-skinned, and not very tall, just reaching my chest. However, she actually had the same emerald green eyes as me.
Oscar saw the door and hurried over with a tissue. Then, he telepathically told me that he had already asked someone to prepare my new clothes and just follow him. He also seemed to say something to the freshmen, which I didn't listen to, and now that anger had taken over, I stared unblinkingly at the girl in front of me.
She had a faint smell of milk, and it smelled pretty pleasant. Just like a baby. It smelled familiar to me like I had smelled this somewhere else.
But I just wanted to punish her now. She probably doesn't know what kind of trouble she's gotten into.
I am the trouble.
