Chapter 1
노르마니 파커
귀찮게도, 나는 그 멋진 알람 시계 소리를 듣고 따뜻하고 아늑한 침대에서 뒹굴며 일어났다.
비꼬는 말투인 거 아시겠죠.
나는 학교에 가라고 소리치는 멍청한 알람 위에 손을 내리쳤다. 오늘따라 너무 게으른 기분이다. 누구한테 거짓말하겠어? 나는 말 그대로 매일 게으르다. 나는 공처럼 몸을 말고 이불 속으로 들어가 편안한 베개에 머리를 묻었다.
불만스러운 신음소리를 내뱉으며, 나는 침대에서 몸을 일으켰다. 방을 정리한 후, 나는 힘겹게 욕실로 발을 끌고 가서 문을 쾅 닫고 샤워기를 켰다. 파자마를 벗고 샤워를 하기 전에 적당한 온도가 될 때까지 기다렸고, 결국 다리도 면도했다. 20분 후, 젖은 머리와 바닐라 향 같은 미소를 지으며 나왔다.
튀고 싶어서 허벅지 중간까지 오고 허리에 리본이 달린 파란색 점프수트를 선택했다. 얼굴에 보습제를 바른 다음, 내 파란 눈을 돋보이게 하는 아이라이너를 약간 그리고, 딸기 립글로스도 발랐다. 중간 길이의 금발 머리를 포니테일로 묶고, 얼굴 양쪽에 약간의 머리카락을 빼냈다. 검은색 플랫슈즈를 신고 방을 나와 부엌으로 가서 커피 한 잔을 만들었다. 프랑스 카라멜 크림 두 스푼과 설탕 두 스푼을 넣었다.
맛있어.
방으로 돌아가 휴대폰과 커피가 담긴 검은색 가방을 가지고 왔다. 시간을 확인하니 이미 오전 9시였고 수업은 10시에 시작한다. 서둘러 커피를 마시고, 사과 하나를 집어 먹었다. 스테파니 방문을 두드리지 않았는데, 그녀가 아침 일찍 수업이 있어서 이미 학교에 갔을 거라고 알고 있었기 때문이다.
집을 나서면서 카운터에서 차 열쇠를 집었다. 차 문을 열고 빠르게 올라타서 안전벨트를 매고 시동을 걸었다. 라디오를 켜고 볼륨을 높이니 내가 가장 좋아하는 아리아나 그란데의 "포지션"이 나오고 있었다. 주차장에서 빠져나와 대학 방향으로 향했다.
완벽한 주차 공간을 찾았다. 차에서 빨리 내려 시간을 확인하려고 휴대폰을 꺼냈는데, 거의 10시가 다 되어가고 있었다. 휴대폰을 다시 가방에 넣고 오늘의 첫 수업에 가기 위해 학교로 서둘러 들어갔다.
♧♧♧
"헤이 걸, 오늘 수업 어땠어?" 내가 아파트에 들어서자 스테프가 물었다. 우리는 영원한 친구이고 지금은 같은 대학에 다닌다. 나는 스테프와 그녀의 가족에게 정말 감사하다. 내가 16살 때 부모님이 교통사고로 돌아가신 후, 스테프의 부모님이 나를 데려가 딸처럼 대해주셨다. 그들이 없었다면 나는 어디에 있을지 모른다. 그들은 내 두 번째 가족 같다.
"윌리엄스 선생님은 정말 짜증나게 할 수 있어. 왜 항상 나만 골라서 괴롭히는지 모르겠어." 나는 그녀 옆 소파에 털썩 앉으며 등을 기대고 불평했다.
"그녀가 아직도 너한테 나쁘게 굴어?" 그녀가 물었고, 나는 고개를 끄덕였다. "그녀는 진짜 섹스가 필요해. 남편이 제대로 못하고 있는 게 분명해, 항상 짜증내면서 들어오니까," 스테프가 대답했다. 나는 그녀의 대답에 전혀 놀라지 않고 얼굴을 찡그렸다. "섹스 얘기가 나와서 말인데, 오늘 금요일이잖아. 클럽 가자."
"아니, 과제가 있고 클럽은 내 스타일이 아니야," 내가 말했다.
"오, 재미있을 거야, 약속할게," 그녀가 간청했다. "그리고 너 진짜 스트레스 풀 필요가 있어."
"아니, 필요 없어."
"제발 제발 제발." 나는 그녀를 바라보았고, 그녀는 내가 거부할 수 없다는 것을 알고 최고의 강아지 눈빛을 보냈다.
"알았어," 나는 한숨을 쉬었고, 그녀에게서 환호성을 들었다.
"좋아! 우리 7시에 출발할 거야." 우리는 함께 일어나 각자의 방으로 갔다.
나는 욕실에 들어가 빠르게 샤워를 하며 하루의 스트레스를 씻어냈다. 수건으로 몸을 닦고 시간을 확인하니 이미 6시였다. 스테프와 외출하기 전에 좋은 낮잠을 자고 싶었다. 나는 시간을 들여 헤어드라이어로 머리를 말렸다.
머리를 다 말린 후, 옷장으로 걸어갔는데 입을 것이 없다는 것을 알게 되었다. 나는 클럽에 잘 가지 않아서 운동복, 청바지, 가디건밖에 없었다. 갈지 말지 고민하고 있었는데, 문을 두드리는 소리에 생각에서 벗어났다.
스테파니가 두 벌의 드레스를 들고 내 방으로 들어왔는데, 그것들은 상상할 여지가 없을 정도로 노출이 심했다.
"스테프, 우리 도대체 어디 가는 거야?" 나는 호기심에 물었다.
"좋아, 들켰네. 유명하고 부유하고 힘 있는 사람들을 위한 독점 클럽이 있는데, 내가 우연히 두 장의 입장권을 얻었어," 그녀가 흥분해서 대답했다.
"스테프, 이건 좋은 생각이 아닌 것 같아. 우리는 입장권이 필요한 클럽에 대해 얘기하고 있잖아." 나는 그녀에게 정말 내키지 않는다고 말했다.
"걱정하지 마, 나쁜 일은 일어나지 않을 거야," 그녀가 확신시켰다. "이제 앉아서 내가 너를 준비시켜 줄게."
내가 무슨 일에 휘말린 거지?
스테프가 한 시간 동안 나를 다듬고 꾸민 후, 그녀는 나에게 검은색 짧은 드레스와 틀림없이 걷기 힘들 하이힐을 건네주었다. 나는 모든 필수품을 그녀가 준 작은 가방에 넣었고, 그녀가 정말 대단한 일을 해냈다고 말해야겠다. 나는 숨이 멎을 정도로 아름다웠다.
"그게 정말 나야, 다른 사람 아니지?" 나는 거울에 비친 내 모습을 보며 놀라서 물었다.
"그게 너야, 마니. 내가 그냥 네가 원래 가진 아름다운 특징들을 강조한 것뿐이야." 그녀가 내게 대답했다. "이제 가자. 늦고 싶지 않잖아." 그녀는 내 손을 잡고 내 방에서 현관문 쪽으로 끌고 갔다.
밤이 시작되었다.

“She’d just be a Breeder, you would be the Luna. Once she’s pregnant, I wouldn’t touch her again.” my mate Leon’s jaw tightened.
I laughed, a bitter, broken sound.

As a girl without a wolf, I left my mate and my pack behind.
Among humans, I survived by becoming a master of the temporary: drifting job to job… until I became the best bartender in a dusty Texas town.

The Alpha King Tournament, held once every four years, had begun. Over fifty packs from across North America were competing.

Everyone looked in that direction and there was a man standing there that I had never noticed before.
