Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby

Chapter 216: The Neighbour

Around the fountain, they parted ways. Eleanor and Ophelia followed Ondina and Lotus toward the back wing of the dormitory’s second floor, while Kiara and Corallina turned left, bound for the right wing.

Though all four wings were joined by a long corridor, three staircases provided access... one at the back, and one each on the left and right. Eleanor and Ophelia climbed the rear stairs with their guides. The first room they passed belonged to Eleanor... her cadet number was 659, and her assigned room was 227.

"Ophelia, I’ll rest for a while," Eleanor said. "Come to my room at seven-thirty. We’ll go to the dining hall together. You should also settle in your own room first. If you need anything, you can come anytime."

Ophelia nodded. "Alright. I’ll be in my room too."

Eleanor turned to Lotus with a polite smile. "Thank you, senior. Please take care of us in the future."

Just then, the door to 228 creaked open. A youthful, bronze-skinned girl poked her head out, sniffed the air, and flashed a broad smile across her full lips. She stepped into the corridor, revealing a figure sculpted with athletic grace... sharp cheekbones, crystal-clear eyes like droplets of water, and a vitality that radiated from her every movement.

With enthusiasm, she extended her hand. "Beautiful neighbour, I am Maíra, Cadet 660. I’m delighted to find an Alpha werewolf beside me."

Eleanor recognised her instantly. She had seen this face in the clan’s intelligence reports. Maíra Arara Neblina... the young head of the Amazon Clan, daughter of the watcher of werewolves Yara Arara Neblina. Barely twenty-two, yet already famous within her clan as a competent assassin. Though her fighting prowess was supposed to remain secret until she came of age, the Raynor Clan had secured intelligence about her. Eleanor knew well enough that this girl was likely far more dangerous than the intelligence they received.

Eleanor accepted the handshake with her business-like demeanour. "Eleanor, Cadet 659. Let’s get along in the future. This is Ophelia, and these are our guides, Senior Ondina and Senior Lotus."

Ophelia offered her hand next. "Hello, I’m Cadet 665. My room is 233."

Maíra shook it warmly. "Then we’ll be seeing each other often." Turning to the guides, she bowed with polite respect. "Seniors, I ask for your guidance as well."
