My Childhood Friend Broke His Promise

Finn had been calling me since last night. However, Douglas hung up on him every single time.

I suspected he was not calling for anything good. He probably wanted to yell at me.

I was right about that.

Douglas had just walked me to the dormitory entrance when Finn saw us.

He stormed over, and his face was twisted in anger.

“Willow, did you really sleep with him?”

His eyes were red from rage.

He was acting as if I had betrayed him.

“Yes, I did.” I was not about to back down.

I even pulled Douglas over and linked my arm with his.

“Willow, you’re such a wench. I left you alone for one day, and you slept with some random brute. You’re so shameless!”

“Shameless? Finn, why don’t you look at yourself? You bailed on me. You knew exactly how important yesterday was to me. And I made it very clear to you a long time ago that I needed you by my side when that day comes. You’re just someone my family gave financial aid to.”

“I already told you why I couldn’t be there! It was Eve’s birthday. I’m one of the few friends she has.”

Evelyn was the university’s belle.

“Besides, I just missed one night, and you immediately slept with him! I know you just can’t stand being alone. You can’t live without a man. You’re so disgusting—”

Before he could finish his sentence, Douglas knocked him to the floor with a single punch.

“Watch your mouth. Willow is my girlfriend now. If you ever talk to her like that again, I’ll make you regret ever setting foot on this campus.”

Finn was weak. He knew he was no match for Douglas and wisely ran off.

To be honest, I was used to how Finn treated me.

Ever since we started university, he had been treating me with contempt. He thought I had no self-respect, that I was always clinging to him and demanding hugs. He called me promiscuous.

He said a proper girl should be reserved, like Evelyn.

Due to my unique condition, he was the only boy I had ever been close to since childhood.

I actually had a crush on him, too.

However, last night, when he abandoned me to celebrate Evelyn’s birthday, I decided to stop liking him.

Besides, I no longer needed him.

Douglas was much more attractive and fit than he was.

After our interaction with Finn, I decided to come clean to Douglas.

“Douglas, I should probably tell you that I’m actually a succubus. I only acted that way yesterday because I was in heat.”

Douglas, who was sitting across from me, showed no change in expression.

He just focused on putting more delicious food on my plate.

“Seriously? Nothing? I just told you I’m a succubus!”

“Oh, I know.”

When he saw my stunned expression, he said, “How do you think I got all these marks? You shifted back to your true form last night. Your tail had me wrapped up tight.”

As he spoke, he looked at me with a resentful expression, as if I were a heartless villain who had wronged him.

Oh, that was awkward.

He was taking it far too well. I had no idea how to continue the conversation.

[Willow, he genuinely likes you. He’s nothing like that Finn guy.]

[Yes. His attraction to you is instinctual. He was hooked on you from the very first day.]

So, he had a crush on me from the very start?

I cleared my throat and spoke. “Just so we’re clear, I’m not the kind of person who just falls for someone easily. Even if you did use my account to post that announcement, I think we still need to be careful about this.”

“But babe, you said you’d make us official!”

“Wait, what? When?”

He slammed his fork on the table. His eyes widened with anger.

“Unbelievable! You’re such a player! You got what you wanted, and now you’re done with me?! Last night, you were literally begging—”
