Bethany woke up early just to make pancakes for Sebastian and the foxes.
They slept on the living room's floor since there’s no furniture yet. She slowly walked, avoiding hands and tails, and successfully enter the kitchen. She grabbed the ingredients from her other bag that packed with food and start mixing them in a big bowl. By the time she finishes cooking them, Sebastian and the foxes walked in mumbling about food.
"Good morning." She said and gave them each a plate full of pancakes.
"Morn-Ooooooo Pancakes !!!!" Sebastian cheered and chucked down his pancakes. Bethany rolled her eyes and smiled.
‘What's wrong with you? It's not like the food will disappear.’ Red said looking weirdly at Sebastian.
"If you haven't tasted Beth's food, don't judge," Sebastian said putting another pancake into his mouth.
Red looked at Snow. She just shrugged and they dig in too. Bethany and Sebastian were looking at the foxes expectantly, then their eyes went wide and looked at Bethany.
Sebastian was grinning like a mad man.
‘Are you the angel of pancakes ?’ Snow asked as she continues to munch on the pancakes but Red was quiet.
"What is it Red? You don't like it?" Bethany asked. Red shook his head.
‘No...It's just, I haven't eaten something this good for a long time..…’ He said as his eyes turned watery.
‘By the way, how did you learn to cook pancakes this good?’ He asked while munching his pancakes too, blinking away his tears.
"Oh! Well, I learn to cook when I was 11 because of two people." Bethany said munching on her pancakes too.
“Hey!" Sebastian argued.
"Oh hush! I learn to cook because of Sebastian and Harry, my uncle, and trust me he's a terrible cook." Bethany said, remembering the first time that Harry tried to cook, he almost set the kitchen on fire. She chuckled and drank her cup of milk.
After they finish their meals, Bethany and Sebastian went on to do their morning routine. They told the foxes about their mission last night and they understand because they would do the same thing just to survive. They bit farewell to the foxes and went to school.

Sebastian bit farewell to Bethany and they went separate ways because he had math while she has art and now he has a problem finding his math classroom. He sighed when he reached the lockers for the third time, he laid his head on a random locker which made a small 'bang'. Then he felt someone tapped his shoulder. He turned around and saw Ramona. He doesn’t know why but he just can't take his eyes off of hers.
"Excuse me..but that's my locker." She said and pointed at the locker that behind Sebastian. He looked at it then looked back at Ramona.
"Oh! I'm sorry, here." He said.
"So...what's the problem? You looked…stressed out." She said while taking some books out and put into her bag.
"Erm...I kinda don't know where the math classroom is located.." I said while rubbing my neck.
"Well, it's your lucky day. I have math class too, let’s go." She said giving him a smiled and walked away. He gave a little chuckled and followed her.
When they walked in the class, everybody stopped doing what they were doing and looked at them. The girls were glaring at Ramona while the boys were glaring at him. He ignored them and took an empty seat.
The whole day kinda past with no one bothering him which he loved very much, he decided to learn more about Ramona by spending our free period together. But then, three jocks approach them.
"Well, who do we have here? Miss Alpha and the fresh meat everybody was talking about." The guy who Sebastian thinks is the leader said.
"Go away, Jake," Ramona said. Sebastian gave her a looked that said 'let me handle this'.
"And who do we have here? Dumb," He said and pointed at the first boy.
"Dumber," Then at the last one.
"And Dumbest."Lastly at the leader, Jake. He heard Ramona giggle. Jake’s face turned bright red with anger.
"Why you-" He said and grabbed Sebastian’s collar but he just gave Jake an uninterested look and slipped his hands into my pocket.
Ramona tapped his shoulder. Jake turned to look at her and she slapped him.
"Oh ho!" Sebastian exclaimed excitingly.
"You b***h!" Jake exclaimed in outrage. He let go of Sebastian and raised his hand, intended to slap back. He doesn't know why but his body just moved by its own towards Ramona and grabbed Jake’s wrist.
"What kind of gentleman are you? Slapping a girl." Sebastian asked raising a brow.
He knew they were attracting a crowd but he couldn’t care less.
"What? f**k off!" Jake shouted, snatching his hand back.
"You heard me. What kind of gentleman are you?" Sebastian repeated. Then he felt someone grabbed his hand.
"Stop Sebastian... let's just go instead of wasting our time on these idiots," Ramona said and Sebastian nodded.
"What did you just called me?!" Jake shouted and tried to punch Ramona. But Sebastian was faster. He used his palm to stop the punch.
He looks at that Jake's eyes which expressed shock.
Sebastian smirked."You shouldn't have done that ."
Then Jake’s friends make a move trying to punch Sebastian.
Foolish, foolish. Who do you think he is?
He quickly pushed Jake and squat down which made them punched each other. They stumbled back, holding their noses.
"Impressive," Ramona said he gave her a cheeky grin. From the corner of his eyes, he saw the rest of Jake’s crew member came and he groaned.
And here he thought he could get comfortable with Ramona.
He sighed.
Well, he guesses he just has to stick to this then.

How do you feel when someone informed you that your brother is in a fight with 10 perfectly built jocks? Well, it felt terrifying. It's not that Bethany thought that Sebastian will get beaten up, it just terrifies her that he will blow his cover.
It all happened when......
Bethany was in class copying all the notes that the teacher wrote on the board when all of a sudden, a girl barged in the class. The teacher stops writing and looks at the girl with a brow raised.
"Erm...is Bethany Lloyd in this class?" The girl asked.
"Present," Bethany said raising her hand.
"Your brother is in a fight with 10 jocks and-" Bethany cut her off and was in front of her immediately, grabbing her shoulder.
"Where," Bethany demanded to make the girl squeak.
"Where! " She said, a little louder while shaking the girl’s shoulders.
"I-in the fields." The girl said and Bethany sprint off towards the field.
If Bethany got her hands on him, Oh ho ho! He's gonna get it. Real bad.
When she reached the field, she saw him taking the last one down. But then she saw one more getting up trying to strike Ramona who was behind Sebastian. She quickly ran towards her. When he almost strikes her, Bethany grabbed his fist. Crushing it hard.
That guy looked at her like she had just grown another head.
Bethany smirked.
"Striking from behind? Now that's not polite." She said then twisted his hand and kicked him in the gut making him flew back. Once She made sure that he's out cold, she turned to face a now frighten Sebastian.
"SEBASTIAN JAMES LLOYD! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING!!!" She shouted catching even more attention. She ignored them in favor of walking closer to him and whisper into his ears.
"You know you almost blew your cover!" She whispered and pulled back.
"Yeah sorry not sorry. I was just teaching these kids how to behave like gentlemen." He said with a smirk. She sighed and rolled her eyes. Typical.
"I'm sorry. He was just trying to protect me when one of them almost hit me." Ramona said, pointing at the jocks on the floor.
Bethany’s face softens and sighed.
"Come on. Let's go before the teacher arrives." Bethany said and was going to walk away when they heard a b***h shouted.
"What have you freak done?" They turned around and saw a blonde queen-wanna-be knelt next to who she thought was the leader of the jocks. They ignored her and kept walking.
"Didn't your parents teach you any manners?" With that, they stopped.
"What did you just say?" Sebastian turned around and asked fist clenching. Bethany closes her eyes and clenched her hand into a ball, shaking.
"You heard me. I said, what have your parents been teaching you huh? Do your parents go around beat people up too?" She said.
Bethany turned and glared at her. She notices her face turned paled but she covers it up quickly with a smirk.
"What? You gonna beat me up like your parents?" She said and with incredible speed, Bethany’s hand was around her neck, choking her.
"What did you just say about my parents?" Bethany asked darkly. The blond girl kept on gasping for air and was scratching Bethany’s arm but that only made Bethany grab on harder.
"Bethany..." Sebastian said cautiously but she ignored him and kept on looking at the b***h whose face was turning purple.
"Why are you not talking anymore? Cat got your tongue?" She asked darkly. Then she heard a voice that made her almost stop.
"Bethany. Put her down."
"Don't tell me what to do." She said sternly but her hand that was chocking the botch neck loosen a bit. She turned her head a little and glared at Randolph.
"Bethany listen to me. If you don't let go of Levi now, she's gonna die." He said and Bethany sucked in a breath.
‘Wouldn’t that be wonderful.’ She thought and grabbed more tightly.
“Bethany!”
Bethany blinked, waking up from her dark thoughts and gasped.
She looked back at Levi whose face was turning blue and let go. Levi crumpled down like a puppet got cut off from its string.
Levi coughed and suck in air into her lunges greedily. Bethany looked down at her hands then she was sprinting, weaving through the crowd. Without hesitation, Randolph chased after her.
She ran as fast as she could, away from the crowds, from those strangers. She ran inside the school, weaving through peoples as she goes, then she saw an empty classroom.
Without any second thoughts, she ran inside the classroom, closing the door behind her and hide at a dark corner.
Stupid! She was supposed to prevent Sebastian from making a scene, not adding another!
She almost f*****g blew her cover. What’s gonna happen if she did?
Not only they’re going to get killed but so is Harry and him.
Then, the door burst open and came in Randolph. He did a quick scan of the room then his eyes landed on her. He breathes out a relieved sigh and walked towards her but as he came closer.
Bethany didn’t hear him as she was deep in her thoughts.
His face softens and knelt in front of her. The next thing he did shock broke her put of her thoughts as he hugged her and she can't help but to breathe in his scent. She heard him chuckled and she blushed.
"Thanks...." She said quietly.
"For?" He asked.
"Just now and...this..." She said and blushed even more.
He pulled away from their hug and looked at her but she was looking at her hands. He uses his fingers to lift her chin and tilting her head up to make her look at him.
"Your welcome." He said and she turns away, blushing.
‘What's wrong with me! I'm an assassin! This is her target and you don’t blush at your targets!’
"Come on." He said, getting up. "Let's get back to your brother. I think he's worried sick by now." He said and reached out his hand for her to support when she was getting up. But when she touched his hand, a spark went through her hands.
She quickly let go of his hands and look at him. But, his face wasn't surprise like hers, he was....grinning?
'What was that and why is he grinning like that?' She thought but what she didn't expect is someone replying.
'Cause you're his mate! Duh! That's what happens when two mates touch each other.' A voice said in her head.
'Who's there?' She asked and look around the empty classroom.
'The name's Charlotte and I'm your wolf.' Charlotte said.
'Oh hey! Well I-wait, did you just said wolf?' She asked her and she could feel her nodding.
'How? I'm a human! How can I have a wolf if I'm a freaking human! Why am I still talking to you?' She shouted.
'Ding! Wrong answer! No, you’re not a human. You're a werewolf. Like your mate, his sister and…' She trailed off.
'And?' Bethany asked.
'And your brother.' She finished.
