Chapter 3

Lacey didn't manage to fire the entire company. In fact, she didn't even manage to get Casey fired.

Conversely, she was properly taught a lesson by Elton for being too pompous and arrogant in front of everyone else at the company.

She was indignant and kept insisting that the employees were being stupid and mean to her, and that she had done nothing wrong.

Elton had specifically engaged in these secretive, clandestine relationships at work because he'd loved the thrill of it. But now, Lacey had completely exposed him in public, so he was very mad at her about it. In fact, he had a mind to replace her.

Lacey finally panicked. However, her way of trying to get back on Elton's good graces wasn't to reflect on her behavior and lie low about it, but rather, to come looking for me to try and seduce him together.

There was a bright grin on her face as she planned meticulously.

"Back when you were still working under him, didn't he suggest that he wanted you to be one of his mistresses too? I bet he'd been very displeased when you turned him down," she said.

"How about you come with me tonight and serve him as well? Then you can tell him that I was the one who brought you along. He'd be so happy that I wasn't useless anymore because I could do something he had never been able to do. He'd never replace me then!"

My face was purple with rage. I immediately slapped her across the face.

Lacey held a hand to her smarting cheek and stared at me in disbelief.

"What do you mean by this? You're not willing to help me?"

I chuckled out loud.

"Not everyone is as despicable as you. You can go ahead and do those kinds of shameful things by yourself!"

I turned to leave. Lacey grabbed me and said, "Stop pretending like you're any more innocent than me! I really don't understand why you're still working here instead of resigning!

"At least 40% of the company's profits all go to Elton! You know how capable he is and how high his position is in the company!

"The only reason why you're still here is because you've been thinking of ways to seduce him and flatter him, isn't it? Don't think that I'm not aware of that!"

I forcefully released myself from her iron grip and looked into her eyes. Then, I said mockingly, "Out of all the employees in the same batch as us, you're the one with the least capabilities. You don't know how to do anything other than make coffee and run errands.

"So, with how incapable you are, and how narrow your field of sight is, you can't think of anything else except resorting to despicable methods to get what you want.

"Just play your part and continue being a pretty face. One day, you'll be amazed by what you see."

Blood Moon – Story Description Blood Moon is a dark, thrilling tale of forbidden attraction, supernatural rivalry, and the fine line between predator and prey. Set in the seemingly ordinary Silver Hollow College, the story unfolds in a world where vampires and werewolves secretly coexist alongside humans, each hiding their true powers while battling their own instincts, rival clans, and the pressures of legacy. In this shadowed world, every glance can hide a threat, every conversation can carry hidden meaning, and every full moon can unleash the beast within. At the heart of the story are Catrine Nella, a powerful young vampire, and Edwardo Zee, a disciplined yet conflicted werewolf. Catrine is sharp, cunning, and deadly, raised under the constant pressure of her ambitious step-sister who insists she feed on human blood to grow stronger. Catrine's natural talents in both magic and combat make her a force to be reckoned with, yet she struggles with morality, identity, and her own desire for control. Edwardo, on the other hand, is torn between his instincts as a wolf and the manipulations of his ruthless step-brother, who demands that he become a killer to claim alpha status. Edwardo wants to be a true alpha, not through bloodshed, but by protecting others and leading with honor-an ambition that sets him apart from his family and makes him both a target and a misfit among his kind. The story begins with a violent, electrifying encounter between Catrine and Edwardo in the forest during the full moon. Both are drawn by their own impulses-Catrine performing a vampire ritual, Edwardo struggling to control the wolf within-and the resulting clash is fierce, brutal, and unforgettable. This first meeting ignites a dangerous rivalry, with each recognizing the other's extraordinary abilities while also sensing something forbidden and magnetic between them. Though enemies by instinct and heritage, the connection they forge amidst conflict sets the stage for a tension-filled enemies-to-lovers narrative that drives the series forward. As the story unfolds, Silver Hollow College becomes a battlefield not just of physical strength but of intellect, cunning, and emotional power. Catrine and Edwardo test one another constantly-through subtle glances in class, tense encounters in crowded hallways, and increasingly dangerous confrontations in the forest. Each battle pushes them further, revealing vulnerabilities and strengths, and slowly transforms their relationship from animosity into fascination, grudging respect, and eventually, desire. Amidst this, both characters are confronted with the pressures of their families. Catrine's step-sister threatens her with weakness if she does not feed on human blood, while Edwardo's step-brother pressures him toward ruthless dominance, creating a constant tension that challenges their morality and tests the limits of their powers. At its core, Blood Moon is a story about choice and identity. It explores the struggle between instinct and conscience, power and restraint, hatred and attraction. It examines what it means to be strong-not just physically, but emotionally and morally-in a world where strength often comes at the cost of humanity. Through fast-paced action, supernatural intrigue, and the slow-burning, dangerous pull between Catrine and Edwardo, the story blends romance, suspense, and fantasy into a gripping narrative. It is a saga of blood and moonlight, of predators and secrets, of rivalry and passion, and of two young supernatural beings whose lives are forever intertwined by fate, desire, and the power of the Blood Moon.
