Beast Alpha and His Cursed Luna Chapter 70: Taking him home?

VALENCIA’S POV

After calming my head for so ti, which included eating a lot of my favorite food, I was about to leave for my lecture with Aiden when I saw him swinging his backpack on his shoulders, and I realized sothing.

My backpack wasn’t with .

It was with Shadow!!

And my phone was there too! The wolfsbane, the daggers laced in poison, everything was there.

What the -?! How the hell did I make this mistake?

I quickly stood from my seat, making the chair fall back, catching my friend’s attention imdiately.

"What is it?" Henry asked, and I shook my head.

"I just rembered that I left my backpack in Mr. Shadow’s cabin. I will be back," I said to Aiden before rushing to the place as fast as I could.

As soon as I reached the door, I took a deep breath, preparing myself for all kinds of reactions from Shadow if he looked into my backpack or sothing.

I knocked on the door, and it wasn’t long before the man’s voice ca.

"Co in," he said, and I opened the door softly, peeking inside.

"I actually, forgot my backpack," I asked, and Shadow looked up from the pile of assignnt sheets before humming.

He didn’t say anything to , and I pressed my lips into a thin line.

Was he alright? It was strange seeing him so unreactive.

"Do you need my help?" I asked, and Shadow looked at before sighing and leaning back in his seat.

"Honestly, I want to apologize to you," he said, and I froze in my place.

An apology? For what? Did he go through my stuff?

"F-for?" I stuttered involuntarily, cursing myself for acting like this.

"For earlier. I am sorry if I made you uncomfortable. It was wrong of . I am sure you must be thinking I am deliberately making your life hard," Shadow said with genuine sincerity in his eyes.

And rather than feeling happy like I should’ve been, I was feeling even worse than before.

What did he an by that?

He was sorry for the kiss? Does that an he regrets it now?

As much as I hated being taken advantage of, hearing it from the person who did it was still a bad feeling and I nodded.

I was about to pick up my backpack and leave when he started speaking again.

"I don’t regret the kiss though. I am sorry for asking for it. However, I don’t regret it. I am apologizing for getting you into trouble with the dean and the HOD, that’s it," he said, and I looked into his eyes.

He was starting to beco a mystery to . There was no lie about it.

It has never been so hard for to read a person like it was becoming for him.

He was like that Labrinth puzzle in which I was feeling lost, and the more I was walking into it, the more I was losing my mind.

Yes. I would call it losing my mind because there was no way it was okay to feel bad for him and want to hug him even when I was the victim here.

"Okay," I said, unsure of what to say anymore.

"Let treat you to dinner," Shadow said, and I looked at him with wide eyes.

"Are you feeling unwell?" I asked him, and he rolled his eyes at .

"Actually, I am feeling quite unwell after that kiss. Mind checking what is wrong with ?* He asked before he unbuttoned his shirt slowly.

I looked at him with wide eyes.

This guy seriously had little to no sha.

"I am not free tomorrow," I said, and he grinned.

"Tonight, it is. Help with these assignnt sheets while you are at it," he said, and I narrowed my eyes on him.

"Did you just make walk into a trap after just apologizing?" I asked, and he chuckled, his contagious smile, making smile again.

That’s how I liked him. Smiling. Not frowning like earlier.

~~~~~~

’I don’t know if this is a good idea anymore,’ I said to Aurora, who just like always, rather than supporting , scoffed at .

’Well, who was the one who told him that you didn’t want to be seen with him in any fancy restaurant? You can’t take his pack to his house, and you definitely can’t go to a hotel with him. This is the only way,’ Aurora said, and I humd.

Well, why was I really worried about it? Carl would be at ho with and Shadow. So it’s not like he can kill and bury my body in the woods.

Yes. There is no issue with inviting him to my lake house.

I walked ahead while Shadow was following , making feel even more conscious.

"Why do you go through this path? If we choose this path, we will reach faster," Shadow suddenly said, and I froze in my place.

He bumped into , making turn around and look at him suspiciously.

"How do you know which path is a better route for my ho?" I asked, watching his eyes carefully to see if there would be any flicker of emotions.

However, he just rolled his eyes at .

"You call your ho lake house. That’s why I just thought it would be near a Lake. Am I wrong?" He asked, and I narrowed my brows.

I was about to tell him that I take the bigger path to protect myself from encountering their pack mbers but before I could do that, my phone vibrated.

"There it is," I pointed at my house before pulling out my phone.

Hmm? Carl? Why was Carl calling now? This reminds that he did not co to the University to ask for leave on his behalf either.

I picked up the call and placed the phone near my ears as I watched Shadow walking towards the door of my house.

He pulled out the door before looking at . The door was locked?

"Here!" I threw the keys at him.

"Hey, Valencia, I am so sorry to tell you this on such short notice but I don’t think I will be able to make it tonight. The eting was extended, and we had another after eting with this group of investors that I can’t deny. Don’t let anyone enter your house and keep the doors locked, okay?" Carl said as I watched Shadow entering my house.

A self-mocking smile appeared on my face while looking at my situation.

"Especially, be wary of boys around you. You know not to allow a boy when I am not there, right? If Dylan finds out, he will beat both of us to a pulp," Carl said, and I chuckled.

I chuckled so badly that tears started to appear in my eyes.

"Hello, Valencia? Are you okay?" Carl asked, and I nodded.

"Yes, I just watched a really funny scene in front of and couldn’t keep myself from laughing," I said, making Carl chuckle.

"Order so food and take care of your health. Sleep early," Carl said before ending the call while I looked at my house which was strangely looking quite small today.
