Return of The Alpha Heiress Chapter 14: Clarissa – Go Home

After Oscar was suspended, the role of class monitor fell to . Most of my classmates probably didn’t like , but Mrs. Willette always trusted .

"Oscar was really surprising. On the outside he looked like the perfect guy," Nadia comnted while packing her things.

It was Saturday morning, and she planned to go ho. Most students went ho on weekends, I just wasn’t one of them.

I only went back during long holidays anyway. Besides, I didn’t have a ho in Brown Pack.

Nadia finished with her bag, grabbed her jacket, and prepared to leave.

"Oh, right. I heard Sand Pack’s quota for new students next year is getting reduced," she said.

"It’s that bad?" I asked, genuinely surprised.

"Think about it— the troublemakers were the Alpha’s son and the Beta’s daughter. If kids from leader families behave like that, of course people assu the whole pack is problematic."

I nodded at her logic.

Tok. Tok. Tok.

We both turned our heads toward the door at the sa ti.

"Oh? My dad’s early today." Nadia walked to open it.

"Ah!" But what I heard was a yelp.

I quickly moved to her side to see who scared her that much.

Standing in front of her was Edwin, wearing his signature mischievous grin. "Hello. Let’s go ho."

Nadia looked back and forth between the two of us, completely stunned. Honestly, so was I.

Even Larry or Shannon never ca to the dorm building to fetch , but Edwin... he had actually appeared right at my door.

"Where are you two going ho to?" Nadia asked.

"To our house, of course," Edwin answered. He walked past her, grabbed my hand, and pulled along.

"W-wait! I haven’t—" I tried to pull my hand back—

but an awakened werewolf’s strength was incomparable to mine.

"You can shower or whatever at ho. I never bring anything when I go ho," he said casually.

Did he really not realize we were different?

"Where are Larry and Shannon?" I asked. They could definitely explain things to Edwin.

"They went ho last night," he replied. "When I saw you weren’t with them, I decided not to go either. I want to go ho with you."

My heart thumped. Go ho... together?

Those words had never applied to . I had no ho, and no one to go ho with.

I lifted my head and saw Edwin smiling at with that big, horse-like grin.

My face froze. I couldn’t return the smile. But I let him pull along anyway.

Maybe... maybe I really would have a family.

A few students we passed looked openly curious, but Edwin didn’t seem to care.

He was clearly used to being the center of attention. So was I, though for very different reasons.

We headed to Green Pack in the Greens’ luxury car. The Green Pack emblem was printed on the door.

Green Pack was one of the prosperous packs in the West Region.

The Wolefang Continent was a vast temperate forest inhabited by werewolves.

Long ago, each pack lived separately, in isolation, surviving with primitive thods.

Until one day, vampires from the mountain regions descended and attacked a human village on another continent.

So werewolf packs noticed this. They cooperated with each others and prepared defenses in case the vampires targeted Wolefang next.

And of course, the vampires did co. Packs fell one by one.

Packs that originally refused cooperation now had no choice. They were forced to unite.

The First Lycan King, leader of all werewolves, erged during that bloody era. He managed to suppress the vampire attacks.

Eventually, the Wolefine Empire was ford under the Lycan King, with the capital city right at the Empire’s center.

The Empire was divided into four major regions: East, West, North, and South. Each region had multiple packs — big, small, wealthy, or poor.

But each region had one pack that beca its core.

In the West Region, Black Pack held the central role.

But Green Pack was not far behind.

Compared to Sand Pack and Brown Pack, which weren’t central packs either, Green Pack was still far, far more prosperous.

Which ant the Green siblings weren’t just any Alpha’s children. They weren’t ordinary wolves.

And now, I might beco part of that.

...

Throughout the car ride, Edwin didn’t stop talking. He radiated pure youngest-child energy— completely different from Larry and Shannon, who at least knew how to hold back.

Still, that didn’t an I disliked Edwin’s behavior. Especially since most of his rambling was about aether devices , my favorite topic.

For an orphan, the only way to secure a comfortable life was to beco an Ae-engineer.

I didn’t need powerful parents, elite connections, or natural werewolf strength. Only skill and knowledge in orb extraction and aether application.

My thoughts drifted far until we finally arrived at Green Pack.

The roads were clean. The houses were lined neatly. People dressed well. The prosperity here was obvious.

The car stopped in front of a large gate bearing the Green Pack crest. Through it, I could see a massive white mansion inside.

The Brown Pack Alpha’s two-story mansion couldn’t compare to this.

The car drove deeper until it stopped right at the mansion’s front steps, where Luna Eileen stood waiting with several maids.

I suddenly felt nervous seeing others welco so earnestly.

Before a maid could open the door, I opened it myself. I really wasn’t comfortable with excessive treatnt like this.

"Welco, Clarissa. I thought you wouldn’t co, so I didn’t prepare much," Luna Eileen greeted and pulled into a hug.

I wanted to tell her this was already more than enough.

"Mom, she hasn’t showered or eaten yet. I dragged her ho straight from the dorm," Edwin blurted out, making want to disappear.

If there were a mouse hole nearby, I might have shoved my head into it.

"Your room is almost finished, but it’s already usable. Co, let show you," Luna Eileen said, guiding .

But Edwin suddenly shrieked, "Her room isn’t finished? Then where has she been sleeping?"

He looked at , then at Luna Eileen, then at the servants.

His expression resembled soone who had just seen a vampire. "Don’t tell she hasn’t moved in yet?!"

I wanted to smack his head. So that’s why he acted the way he did — he thought my things were already in this house?
