VALENCIA’S POV
"Hey, it’s your favorite professor," Henry knocked on my desk, and I looked up at the entrance of the room.
Woah. What the hell? My pupils dilated and my heart imdiately skipped a beat when I saw the man walking inside in a black shirt with his sleeves rolled to his elbows.
The upper two buttons of his shirt were undone and he was wearing gray pants.
GRAY PANTS!
Was a beta really supposed to be this hot? I an, THIS HOT?!!!!!
’We heard you. Keep quiet. Let admire in peace,’ Aurora groaned at the exclamation in my head and heat crept up my neck as soon as our gazes t.
"Shut up," I scolded my wolf and looked down at my nails, not wanting to be caught staring for too long.
’Co on, Val. Stare a little bit more. I am not able to see because of you either,’ Aurora hissed.
I gritted my teeth.
’Have you lost your mind? What will he think of us if we are caught staring? Don’t you have any sha? At least think about ,’ I hissed back and the wolf glared at .
This wasn’t good. Whenever she glared at angrily, I knew what was coming next, and just like always, she didn’t disappoint .
’If you don’t look up now, I swear I will turn you into a cat,’ She threatened.
’You are not serious,’ I said but she just grinned at , making sigh dejectedly.
Clenching my fists, I was about to raise my gaze to check out the hot man once again when he called my na.
"Miss Valencia, please go arrange the lab setups. We will have a practical session today," He said to all the students, his voice cold and distant.
Sothing was definitely wrong.
Could it be that he was angry because of what happened last night? But I wasn’t even at fault. Then...
’What if he found sothing against us?’ Aurora said and I bit my lower lip before standing from my place.
I held my breath as I passed by him, not wanting to inhale his intoxicating scent and give anything away. If he found out what my wolf was thinking about him, I am sure the egotistic guy would bask in self-glory and narcissism.
Without waiting, I went straight to the laboratory and started arranging the required materials for the experints.
I swear I hate it. Who asked the dean to make the class representative?
Let him return from his in-laws’ house once. I will surely teach that old man a lesson. I gritted my teeth before placing the last beaker on the slab.
"Done?"
"Yeah, I am -" I froze in my place when I felt his hot breath in my ears.
"Shadow, what are you-?" I turned around, my hand accidentally hitting the beaker, and it was about to fall on the ground, making close my eyes.
However, before it could hit the ground, Shadow quickly grabbed it, making applaud his reflexes ntally.
Then again, he was the beta of the strongest pack in the world.
"Why are you always so jumpy around ? Hmm? It almost makes believe you did sothing," He asked, making notice how close he ca to as he placed the beaker behind , my heart thumping loudly in my chest.
"I... What are you doing? Y-you are supposed to teach and not-" I held my breath when he suddenly neared, making close my eyes subconsciously.
Wait. What the hell was I doing? Was I waiting for him to kiss ?
I opened my eyes and panicked, and the smile on his face was a clear indication that he caught off-guard.
This son of a -!
I clenched my jaws and stepped aside to move when he held my hand and pulled back in front of him, caging between his arms as he placed them on either side of .
"There have been many rogues in the forests near our pack recently," he said.
I nodded in understanding. He was right about that, there were indeed many rogues near the pack. It was almost as if they were planning sothing big against Alpha Maverick.
"I know. Didn’t I et one yesterday?" I sighed before rembering sothing.
"Right. Dylan and Carl, I an, the council head’s son and his cousin are in the city at the mont. If your alpha wants, he can et them and clarify any doubt regarding . This will help you guys fasten up the case and you won’t have to waste your ti here," I said.
Shadow didn’t say anything for a few seconds.
He just kept looking into my eyes, making self-conscious and I was about to ask him if he was planning to move anyti soon or if he wanted soone to catch us when he finally spoke.
"Where are they staying? I will inform my alpha. I think we can discuss the situation with the rogues too. If they are living too far away, we will have to reschedule the other etings and -" Shadow started, but I shook my head.
"You don’t need to worry about those things. They are living quite close to your pack. They are living in my house. It’s walking distance -" I paused when I realized what kind of mistake I made.
"What I an is -"
"The council’s head’s son is staying with you.
His cousin is staying with you two. Two grown-up n are staying with you and you are acting like it’s not a problem?" Shadow asked , and I shrugged.
"It will only look like a problem if you think about it like that. We never had a problem sharing a room. There were tis when we had to share the sa tent during the training tis. So what’s wrong with it?" I asked.
The man smiled at , and I looked down at my feet, his feet were almost touching mine, making gulp.
Anyone could see the smile he was giving was a bit forced and unreal.
"Is that so?" He asked.
I nodded, a little unsure myself.
Anyone was bound to think weirdly. Even I could see how awkward my words were.
"By the way, about the rogues you ntioned earlier. What did you an by that? Has your team found anything?" I asked, hope brimming in my eyes because the presence of rogues was also hindering my plans.
"Mmhhmm," he said before tucking my hair behind my ears.
"What I wanted to say was, since there are so many rogues in the forests right now -" He stepped ahead, our bodies almost touching each other, and I felt my breath hitch when his hands that were caging between his arms, started to co close to my body, making the goosebumps on my skin rise.
His finger, almost touching the skin on my thighs.
"Our alpha is busy with the rogue handling case, and the investigation of your case has been postponed," Shadow said
I smiled in relief.
"That’s great. Does that an I can move freely till my case goes back into investigation?" I asked, and the man chuckled, his soft velvety voice making my knees weak and promising nothing good at the sa ti.
"How naive are you, kitten? It ans that you will be under our jurisdiction and the ban for an extended amount of ti," He smirked and I looked at him with wide eyes.
He was kidding , right?
"I am not kidding you, Miss Valencia. Not for now at least," He smirked, licking his bottom lip, making my gaze imdiately shift to his wet pink lip before I shifted my gaze back to his eyes, the dark look in them, making realize what kind of deep sh*t I was in.
"You seem quite uncomfortable around . Get used to it. We will be seeing a lot of each other," he whispered in my ears, his lips almost touching my earlobe before he turned around and left, leaving deep in thought as I stood there helplessly.
There was no way this was happening.
Was it my fault that there were rogues in the forests?!
’Stop whining so much Valencia. Just enjoy the ride. I an, if he lets us ride,’ Aurora said, giving a wolfy grin.
I couldn’t help myself as I looked at her helplessly.
I swear people want to get on my nerves all the ti.
On one side there was this beta who didn’t leave any chance to bully and on the other side was my wolf who wanted to be bullied in more ways than anyone would be able to anticipate.
What the hell do I do?! I groaned, all my plans were going to drain.
