Chapter 1
북해시 의과대학.
방예는 손에 쥔 실습 통지서를 바라보며 얼굴이 어두워진 채 취업지원실을 향해 걸어갔다.
재학 기간 동안 방예는 자신의 열정과 노력으로 4년 연속 최고 장학금을 받았고, 모든 전공 과목에서 상위권을 유지했다. 하지만 실습 통지서를 받자마자 그는 청천벽력 같은 소식에 망연자실했다. 지역 보건소라니? 농담도 심하지!
취업지원실 앞에 도착하자 문이 굳게 닫혀 있는 것을 보고 방예는 걸음을 멈추었다. 의아했다. 실습 배정 시즌의 절정기에 취업지원실이 문을 닫을 리가 없는데, 게다가 파란 커튼까지 쳐져 있다니?
방예는 가까이 다가가 살짝 문을 밀어봤지만 반응이 없었다. 분명히 안에서 잠겨 있었다.
이상하게 느껴졌지만, 실습 병원은 자신의 미래와 직결된 문제였기에 절대 소홀히 할 수 없었다. 이 문제는 반드시 이 주임에게 따져봐야 했다. 방예는 손을 들어 문을 두드리려는 찰나였다.
그때, 방 안에서 들려오는 애매한 소리에 방예는 그 자리에 얼어붙었다.
불안한 마음으로 방예는 발걸음을 조금 옮겨 커튼 틈새로 들여다보았고, 그의 핏줄을 뜨겁게 만드는 광경을 목격했다.
방예는 피식 웃었다. 이런 상황을 우연히 마주치다니, 정말 막장 드라마 같은 전개였다. 막 떠나려던 그는 갑자기 발걸음을 멈추었고, 얼굴이 굳어졌다.
"이 주임님... 으응... 아앙, 제 일은 어떻게 됐나요~?" 방 안에서 들려오는 목소리는 방예가 너무나 잘 아는 소리였다. 같은 반 친구인 이사사의 목소리였다.
물론, 방예는 이사사가 이렇게 교태를 부리는 모습은 한 번도 본 적이 없었다. 반 친구들 앞에서 그녀는 완벽한 얼음 공주였고, 많은 남학생들의 꿈속 여신이었는데, 지금은...
방예는 입꼬리를 올리며 흥미를 느꼈다. 이사사의 말투로 보아, 이 주임에게 부탁을 하기 위해 몸을 팔고 있는 것 같았다.
이 주임의 음흉한 목소리가 들려왔다. "우리 사사야, 나를 뭐라고 불러?"
"아이참, 이 주임님 정말 나쁘셔요... 여, 여보..." 길게 늘어진 콧소리와 극도의 유혹적인 톤에 방예는 오히려 소름이 돋았다.
"그래야지! 착하네~" 이 주임이 음흉하게 웃더니 곧 '팡팡' 소리가 들려왔고, 이사사는 가쁜 숨을 내쉬며 신음했다.
방예의 표정은 점점 더 이상해졌다. 구역질이 날 것 같았다. 그는 이 여자에게 이런 면이 있을 줄은 정말 상상도 못했다. 세상 참 넓고도 넓다는 생각이 들었다.
한참 후, 이 주임이 길게 한숨을 내쉬며 천천히 말했다. "내가 하는 일을 못 믿겠어? 실습지 바꾸는 건 별거 아니지. 너희 반 다른 애들은 어렵겠지만, 방예 그 가난뱅이는 돈도 없고 빽도 없잖아. 공부 잘한다고? 뭔 소용이야. 내가 어디로 보내라면 얌전히 가야지 뭐. 너는 그냥 제2인민병원에 가. 근데 널 이끌어준 나를 잊지 말고 가끔 찾아와."
"키득키득, 이 주임님 정말 최고예요, 쪽. 사사는 꼭 자주 찾아뵐게요." 이사사가 교태를 부렸다.
방예의 표정은 물에 빠진 듯 어두워졌다. 주먹을 꽉 쥐자 손에 든 통지서가 구겨졌고, 관절이 '뚝뚝' 소리를 냈다.
그제서야 모든 것이 이해됐다. 자신의 성적이라면 당연히 북해 제2인민병원이나 제1임상병원에서 실습을 해야 했는데, 이 두 더러운 인간의 추잡한 거래 때문에 자신이 새도 날아가지 않는 지역 보건소로 발령받은 것이었다.
방예의 이성이 순간 무너져 내렸다. 손을 들어 문을 치려는 순간, 복도에서 부드러운 여성의 목소리가 들려왔다.
"방예 학생, 떠날 준비는 안 하고 여기서 뭐 하는 거니?"
방예는 가슴이 철렁 내려앉았다. '큰일 났다.' 순간 냉정을 되찾은 그는 상황의 심각성을 깨달았다. 만약 이 주임이 자신이 그와 이사사의 추잡한 관계를 알았다는 사실을 알게 된다면, 이 지역 보건소 실습 기회마저 날아갈 수도 있었다.
"아, 선생님, 저는 그냥 지나가다가... 지나가다가요..."
"그래, 어서 떠날 준비나 해. 실습 기간 동안 열심히 하길 바라. 난 네가 기대돼." 여교수는 의심 없이 계단을 내려갔고, 방예는 진퇴양난에 빠졌다.
예상대로 사무실에서 이 주임의 나른한 목소리가 들려왔다. "방예 학생, 무슨 일이니? 들어와서 말해."
방예는 이를 악물며 어찌해야 할지 몰랐다. 사무실 문이 열리고, 청바지 핫팬츠와 몸에 꼭 맞는 탑을 입은 키 큰 이사사가 고개를 치켜들고 나왔다. 그녀는 방예를 쳐다보지도 않고 긴 다리로 당당하게 걸어갔다.
방예는 이를 악물며 그 요염한 뒷모습을 노려보다가, 마음을 다잡고 억지로 용기를 내어 안으로 들어갔다.

My Marked Luna
"Yes,"
He exhales, raises his hand, and brings it down to slap my naked as again... harder than before. I gasp at the impact. It hurts, but it is so hot, and sexy.
"Will you do it again?"
"No,"
"No, what?"
"No, Sir,"
"Best girl," he brings his lips to kiss my behind while he caresses it softly.
"Now, I'm going to fck you," He sits me on his lap in a straddling position. We lock gazes. His long fingers find their way to my entrance and insert them.
"You're soaking for me, baby," he is pleased. He moves his fingers in and out, making me moan in pleasure.
"Hmm," But suddenly, they are gone. I cry as he leaves my body aching for him. He switches our position within a second, so I'm under him. My breath is shallow, and my senses are incoherent as I anticipate his hardness in me. The feeling is fantastic.
"Please," I beg. I want him. I need it so badly.

The Shadow Of A Luna
Everyone looked in that direction and there was a man standing there that I had never noticed before. He would have been in his early 20's, brown hair to his shoulders, a brown goatee, 6-foot 6 at least and very defined muscles that were now tense as his intense gaze was staring directly at me and Mason.
But I didn't know who he was. I was frozen in the spot and this man was just staring at us with pure hatred in his eyes. But then I realized that the hatred was for Mason. Not me.
"Mine." He demanded.

Crowned by Fate
“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.
