Sam returned to the dorm. Sarah had calmed down. She could leave the girl in the forest. Sarah rarely stays in the dorm. Jane had warned her several times, but Sarah didn't care about Jane's warning.
Sam walked over to Jane's. Jane's position at this university is as the head of the dormitory. He was also the right-hand man of the university's rector, Geralt Swarovski.
"Sam?" Someone found Sam walking down the hall that led to the housekeeper's room. Students are indeed forbidden to come to this section.
Sam turned. He saw Rein, the vice chancellor, who also took care of all the administration of the students at this university. The old man was patrolling around the romance to check if the student was asleep or not.
"Oh, Rein." Sam was surprised. His curiosity made him forget that in the dormitory, there was a special patrol from the administrators.
"Why are you hanging around at this time of night?" Rein asked. He squinted and aimed the flashlight he was carrying at Sam's face.
Sam closed his eyes. He wished he didn't have to do this. But what was on Rein's mind was clearly read by Sam. The man cursed Sam because Sam acted on his own accord just because he was an Alpha child.
"I know. You don't like me here. But I have things to do. I want to see Jane," said Sam.
Rein glared. He thought that Sam would tease Jane. Even though Sam already has a mate.
"You misunderstood, Rein. I don't want to tease Jane. I want to talk about something important," said Sam.
Rein looked at Sam. He changed the color of his eyes from yellow to red. It seemed Rein wanted to know Sam's real purpose in coming to the hall of the dormitory.
Sam knew he couldn't avoid Rein. Even though he is Alpha's son, Sam must obey the rules at this university. The father gave the university his order to treat Sam like any other student.
"You want to know about the new student?" mumbled Rein. "That's not in your capacity, Sam. Go back to your room."
Sam doesn't want to. He had to get an answer. Sam knew very well that humans and werewolves couldn't live together. Even though Sam didn't know why. He was only asked to obey the pack rules without asking too many questions.
"I need to know, Rein. Jane brought humans to this place. This shouldn't be allowed. Humans shouldn't be in this place. What if something happens that we don't expect?"
Rein coded for Sam to stop talking by putting his index finger to his lips. "Follow me!" Rein said.
Rein led Sam down the hall to his room until they disappeared into the darkness.

The morning arrived. Sophie heard a loud banging on her bedroom door from outside. She was used to that kind of sound. Nora often does too. Sophie immediately got up even though her leg still hurt. She immediately opened the door to her room. Sophie saw a woman with a stiff face staring at Sophie.
"You must prepare immediately. All members must gather in the field this morning," said the woman.
"Me too? I'm new here. I don't know..." Sophie tried to interrupt, but the woman just walked away. She banged on the other bedroom door the same way.
Sophie scratched her head. She immediately went to the bathroom to clean herself. She had to go downstairs as soon as the woman said.
Sophie tried as quickly as possible to clean herself up. When she was done, she ran downstairs. Again she complained that she had to go up the stairs from the fifth floor. Surprisingly, only Sophie was walking alone. The other students should have been in a hurry like her.
"Are they still in the room?" Sophie muttered.
Sophie quickened her pace. She was so sure that she would arrive earlier than the other students. But strangely, Sophie heard a voice from outside the building. She didn't even hear anything in the dormitory building.
Finally, Sophie reached the bottom. She rushed out of the dormitory building and headed for the field where they had gathered. Sophie was sauntering but stopped when she saw the line of students on the field. They were prepared in a perfect position. Sophie's arrival actually made them make Sophie the target of the spectacle.
Sophie was really embarrassed. She was sure that she had tried to come earlier. But why is everyone already in this place? When do they come? What time is Sophie taking a shower? But wouldn't it take time to gather this many people from such a vast dormitory building?
"Hey, you!" A man called Sophie.
Sophie turned and saw Sam standing in front of the students lining up. Sam looked like the leader of these ranks.
"What?" Sophie said.
Sam smiled sarcastically at Sophie's question. "You say what?" said Sam proudly.
Sophie frowned. She was sure that the haughty man was Sam. Didn't they already know each other yesterday? But why was he being so arrogant towards Sophie now?
"Why are you late?" asked Sam.
"I am late? I was walking as fast as I could. And I shouldn't have been late. It's only been fifteen minutes since that woman banged on my door!" Sophie explained why. She felt her argument was correct. But people looked at her with disdain.
"Is she the new student?"
"Yes, Hybrid. I just found out there is such a creature. It's no different from us."
"Can she transformation like us? Is she like a human?"
Sophie heard strange words from the students standing in the field. Sophie could hear clearly in her mind.
Sarah stood in the front row. She looked at Sophie with hatred. Sophie didn't want to get into trouble in a new place. She also mingled with other students. She was standing in the line. But people stay away from it. They kept their distance as if they didn't want to be near Sophie.
"What's wrong?" Sophie asked. But they didn't say anything. They looked strangely at Sophie.
Sam saw that clearly. He just sighed. He couldn't say anything. He doesn't have that capacity.
"Don't make any noise! Quickly line up! The university chancellor is coming!" said Sam. He shouted to the line.
Sam had just finished speaking. A man wearing a black coat enters the field. The students fell silent when the man came. Meanwhile, Sophie was still confused. She looked at the man in the suit. The man looked dashing even though he did not look young. His face is also quite charming.
"Who's he?" Sophie muttered.
