Final Decision
1188 Words
I remained silent.
My body froze.
Even now, Mr. Khill’s hand had slipped into my shirt.
His fur had begun to disappear, and he was now a complete man.
Unfortunately,
I didn’t feel afraid…
I didn’t want to leave…
It was like a rope was binding us…
Even though my mind wanted to run and rebel,
My heart wanted to stay and was reluctant.
It was so strange…
He smirked slightly, as he heaved his deep, husky voice. His lips starting to lick my neck, nibbling, and kissing as if giving me a signal.
I didn’t push him away, but I remained silent. However, I didn’t respond to anything he did.
“Are you afraid of me… Stefani?” he asked then.
I swallowed hard.
He wasn’t… human, was he?
Then what was he?
“I’m not human,” he said.
Now he had removed all my clothes and we were both on the bed. My body felt frozen; I couldn’t even swallow, let alone move.
“I am the Alpha.”
Alpha?
Mr. Khill smiled again, his long, nail-covered fingers now stroking my face.
He grinned again.
“Do you know about werewolves?” Mr. Khill asked again.
I was silent.
Werewolves…? Weren’t those just fictional creatures made up by humans?
“I am their leader.”
His words sounded like a joke, and I didn’t think anyone would ever believe it. However, the reality I saw was no joke.
Those feathers…
Those long fangs…
Those red eyes…
And those long claws…. It was all real.
“You are my Luna, Stefani. You will never be able to be separated from me.”
His voice was like a threat, as if he wanted to emphasize that I belonged completely to him, and that I would never be free of him.
“What if I… don’t want to?” I asked.
“I’m not giving you a choice, Stefani. This is an order, my final decision!”
Mr. Khill’s shout completely stiffened my body; his roar sounded terrifying.
My body was filled with extreme fear, and my head suddenly felt so painful that I finally lost consciousness.

“Stefani, are you awake?”
I saw my mother looking at me with a look of deep concern, her eyes wet, and this naturally stunned me.
Where was I?
“Are you okay, honey?” she continued.
I smiled, then nodded.
“Where am I, Mom?”
“You’re in the hospital,” she replied.
The tense expression on her face slowly faded, and she smiled sweetly.
“You’re exhausted after a long photo shoot.” She took my hand and kissed it lovingly. “I never thought you’d get to this point, a famous model. I’m so proud of you.”
My heart fluttered at her words, and I suddenly felt tight.
Wait…
Where was Mr. Khill?
Wasn’t it the last time we were in a hotel room, and I found out he was… a werewolf?
“Why am I here, Mom?” I asked.
“Mr. Khill brought you here after the photo shoot. He said you were exhausted.”
“Do you know Mr. Khill?” I asked, confused.
She nodded, smiling brightly.
“You know, he’s a very nice man. I support you.”
“What?”
Before she could answer, I saw Mr. Chang arrive, carrying a bouquet of flowers. Of course, with that woman.
He smiled sweetly at me, then approached.
Instantly, my hands clenched into fists.
How did he know I was here?
And why did he come here?
“My daughter, Stefani, are you okay?”
What did he say?
My daughter?
My jaw clenched as he approached, trying to hug me. I slapped his hand away and threw the bouquet of flowers away.
I was disgusted when I saw his face, especially when he touched me.
It felt so disgusting, and hearing him call me “my daughter” was unbearable.
“I’m sorry, I don’t know you. Please leave my room.”
“Stefani, come on, I just—”
I smashed the flower vase on the nightstand and then pointed the broken ceramic pieces at Mr. Chang.
“Tch! Stop calling my name and calling me your daughter, I don’t like it at all! You disgust me, sir!”
“I—”
“Where have you been all this time, huh? The nine months my mother was pregnant with me, where were you? And for decades, she cared for and raised me, but where were you? And now that I’m successful, you’re just coming and acknowledging me? You’re so cheap!”
I saw Mr. Chang kneeling in front of me, forcing his woman to do the same.
“I’m sorry, Stefani. As your father, I was truly the most useless man in the world. Please forgive me, and let’s try to mend our relationship.”
“Even if death were upon me, I would rather die than forgive you. Besides, why only apologize to me? Do you think you’ve done nothing wrong to my mother?” I asked.
He remained silent.
I saw my mother step out for a moment, and then two well-dressed men in black suits entered with her.
“Please, take these two shameless animals away.”
Mother’s concise and clear words made me proud.
Without further ado, the two men immediately dragged Mr. Chang and his wife out of my hospital room, and somehow I felt a little satisfied with this.
“You know, thanks to Mr. Khill, your father’s business is currently in decline, and maybe that’s why he came to you for help.”
I looked at my mother. So that’s why that jerk came here? He wanted to take advantage of me?
In fact, his bankruptcy was one of the news I always awaited.
“If you want more, it’s easy, Stefani.”
I watched my mother and Mr. Khill’s right-hand man leave the room, leaving the two of us alone.
I was wary.
I instinctively tugged at the edge of my blanket as he began to walk closer.
“If you feel like I’ve wronged you, then how about you sign a contract for our relationship?”
“What do you mean?” I asked, confused.
He sat beside me, handing me a document.
“A mutually beneficial partnership contract,” he said. His hands began to caress my face. “Satisfy me, and I’ll fulfill your desires. Career, fame, your dreams, wealth, and… vengeance.”
My hands gripped the edge of the blanket tighter. Then I looked into his eyes, which gave me a hint of reassurance.
Can I trust him?
Can he do anything?
My hands gripped the blanket even tighter, my chest pounding with annoyance. And now I would never again care about all the logical decisions I’d ever made.
My pain and my mother’s must be repaid.
And I had to prove to the world that I could be the number one woman in the world. I firmly answered Mr. Khill’s offer, “Avenge me on that man. Then I’ll do whatever you want!”
