C2 Could she be the Luna?

The guy straightened her up and sighed.

He gently cupped her face, guilt written all over his expression.

"I regret it, Cara. I regret leaving you with that jerk. I regret listening to you. You said he loved you, so why did he marry another woman?"

Cara stared at him in confusion, gazing into his beautiful eyes.

"Now you're homeless. Can't you come to me? Do you hate me that much?"

[42F, your core is overheating. Are you sure you can still analyze this human? Should I help you?]

She heard 42G's voice in her head as she continued blinking, still staring at the guy.

[Okay.]

Analyzing...

[This human is named Draven Blackwood. He is the richest man in the city and the Alpha of his pack. If you want to survive in this human world, you really need to stick with him.]

Draven stared at her. "Are you okay? Why aren't you saying anything?"

[42G, I need a reaction. What should I do?]

[Which reaction do you want? There are two options.]

[Any reaction! Just give me one, or he'll take me for a fool.]

[Option One activated.]

Cara moved closer and wrapped her arms around him. Draven stared at her with wide eyes.

He swallowed hard. Suddenly, she rose onto her tiptoes and pressed her lips against his.

Draven's eyes widened in shock. She had kissed him!

[42G, what kind of reaction is this? This feeling is so foreign.]

[It's not my fault. You said any reaction was fine.]

[All right, get out of my head. I'll take it from here!]

Cara pulled away and lowered her head.

'I'm sorry,' she wanted to say, but no sound came out.

Draven stared at her.

'She must be extremely sad. I'll give her some time.'

He smiled and gently patted her hair.

"It's okay. We can talk when you're ready. Come on, let's go. I'll take you home."

He took her hand and led her toward his car. Cara stared at his hand wrapped around hers.

'So warm and soft.'

The feeling was strange, but she liked it.

He opened the passenger door, and she got inside and took a seat. He walked around the car and settled into the driver's seat.

Cara stared at him. Suddenly, he leaned toward her, making her eyes widen as she experienced the emotion 42G had mentioned.

[######### Love.]

She blinked as he fastened her seat belt. He pulled back and started the engine.

The ride was relaxing. Cara leaned back in her seat, feeling her eyelids grow heavy.

'No wonder my hosts grinned whenever I gave them a car. This feels so comfortable.'

A few minutes later, Draven glanced at her and saw that she was asleep, her head tilted to the left.

'Elias Moon, you bastard! How dare you betray Cara? Because of you, she rejected me back then. You made her cry. You made her suffer, you worthless Omega! I'll crush you beneath my feet!'

The drive was long, and they arrived at his mansion a few hours later.

His assistant, Noah James, approached the car. He wore a black suit and had a cold expression on his face.

Draven stepped out of the car and walked around to open the passenger door. He unfastened Cara's seat belt and paused, gazing at her face.

'She's so cute. Always so cute.'

He kissed her nose and carried her in his arms as Noah shut the car door behind him.

Noah bowed. "Alpha, you're back."

"Why are you here?" Draven asked as he walked inside, Cara curled up in his arms.

The maids and cooks lined up on both sides of the entrance and bowed.

"Welcome back, Alpha."

Noah followed him. "Something came up that I need to report to you."

"Wait for me in the study."

Noah nodded and walked away in another direction.

Draven climbed the spiral staircase and slowly made his way upstairs to the master bedroom.

The maids exchanged glances and whispered among themselves.

"Am I seeing this right? The Alpha brought a woman home?"

"Not only that, but he had physical contact with her, and now he's taking her to his bedroom!"

"This is unbelievable. Could she be the Luna?"

"Wasn't the Alpha waiting for his childhood sweetheart? Has he already changed his mind?"

The butler cleared his throat, and they quickly lowered their heads.

"You two, follow me!"

He walked away, and two of the maids followed him.

They entered the elevator. The butler pressed a button, and the doors slid shut.

Draven's room was enormous and screamed luxury. It was decorated in black and white.

He placed Cara on the bed and kissed her forehead.

"Sleep tight, baby."

He pulled the duvet over her and walked outside, closing the door behind him.

---

The next morning, Cara's lashes fluttered, and she opened her eyes. She scanned the room before slowly sitting up.

'So, I really became human.'

She spoke nonchalantly. She didn't panic. She wasn't the type to panic.

'So, this is what humans feel like after a good night's sleep. I'm full of energy.'

She looked around the room again and noticed a huge framed picture of Draven wearing a black coat, with a large black wolf-dog sitting on his lap.

'What is my relationship with this Alpha human?'

She waved her hand in the air, and a blue panel appeared in front of her.

After studying it for a while, she waved her hand again, and the panel disappeared.

'So, this Alpha and Cara were childhood sweethearts. After he went abroad to study, her mother moved to another city, and Cara met the pack's Omega, who turned out to be her mate.'

She nodded and stood up from the bed.

'Fine. Since I'm Cara now, her life and problems are mine from now on.'

She walked out of the room, and her eyes lit up.

Of course, she had seen many luxurious mansions where her wealthy hosts lived. She had even given some of them these mansions, but she had never seen them so vividly. The Alpha's mansion was the very definition of luxury.

Her stomach grumbled. She stopped and touched her belly, unable to understand the strange new sensation.

42G appeared.

[Another sensation. It's called hunger.]

[Hunger?]

[In terms you understand, it's 5^H^2.]

'Oh, so this is what it feels like. No wonder my 229th host was about to die of hunger before I met her. It turns out this feeling is awful.'

She walked down the spiral staircase and saw the maids wiping the dining table while others mopped the floor.

When they saw her, they began whispering.

"Oh, heavens! She's beautiful."

"Look at her fair skin and long hair. No wonder the Alpha is so interested in her."

A jealous maid raised her head and stopped cleaning the table. She stared at Cara and scoffed, crossing her arms.

"What's so special about her? She's only good at seducing men. She has no real power. To become the Alpha's Luna, you need more than just a pretty face."

Another maid, probably her minion, nodded.

"That's right. Just look at her. She seems clueless. She's probably just an ordinary wolf. Our Diana is much better than her. Diana can transform into a full grey wolf. That's rare and impressive."

The jealous maid, Diana, tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled.

"Oh, you're flattering me. I admit I'm a good fit to be the Alpha's Luna, but nobody can compare to Felicia. She's the Gamma's daughter, and she's a pure white wolf."

"That's right. She's definitely going to be the Luna. This girl is a nobody compared to Felicia. She's probably just a temporary fling."

The butler appeared, followed by two maids carrying shopping bags. He frowned.

"Are you slacking off? Stop gossiping and get back to work!"

He shouted, and they immediately resumed cleaning.

All this time, Cara had been standing near the staircase, listening to their conversation. Her hearing was sharper than a wolf's.

The butler walked toward her, followed by the two maids. He bowed slightly.

"Good morning, Miss. Please freshen up and have breakfast."

Cara nodded with a cold expression and walked back upstairs, the two maids following her.

She entered the room. The maids set down the shopping bags and walked out.

Cara checked the bags and found them filled with expensive dresses.

She walked into the bathroom and stared at the shower, soap, shower gels, and towels.

She waved her hand, and the blue panel appeared again.

[Showering methods loading...]

Draven entered the mansion wearing a double-breasted coat and black gloves. The maids at the entrance bowed.

He stopped in the hallway and turned to the butler.

"Is she awake?"

"Yes, Alpha. She woke up a while ago. I told her to freshen up and have breakfast. She's probably still in the shower."

Draven walked upstairs and entered his bedroom.

He removed his gloves and approached the bathroom.

"Cara?"

He knocked on the door but received no response. Worried, he opened it and slid open the glass shower door, only to find her unconscious in the bathtub.

"Cara!"
