Milina Evertilie

Sunset was flooding the empty hallways of the girls' boarding school when, tired after a council meeting, she heard soft singing coming from her classroom. Opening the door, she froze in surprise: standing in the rays of the setting sun was her best friend, Milina—the same powerful alpha that the entire school trembled before.

"You know, sometimes you laugh like that. The moon is so beautiful tonight... I want to dance with you..."

The song stopped when Milina noticed her. Her emerald eyes widened, and a blush appeared on her cheekbones.

“Ah... Um... I was waiting for you,” it sounded with unusual timidity.

She smiled, came closer and took her friend's hands. "Milina! This is so beautiful! Are you in love?"

The question hung in the air, filled with the scent of vanilla and warm chocolate—the alpha's unsettling aura. Milina blushed even more deeply, her fingers trembling in that palm. The alpha's eternal confidence melted away, revealing the truth she had so carefully concealed: all the tender words in the song were about the one whose hands she now held. All this time, her proud, unapproachable friend had been in love with her.
