Beast Alpha and His Cursed Luna Chapter 9: Pick her up

ALPHA MAVERICK'S POV

"Sir, is everything alright? The sudden change in the audit team alerted everyone," The Principal of the University rushed as soon as our car stopped at the gates of the University.

He probably got nervous thinking why the main founder of the University was coming to see things personally.

I can't really bla them. I don't have enough ti on my hands, and if soone had asked to do it, I wouldn't have co here either.

"Things turned that way," I said, looking at Shadow, who imdiately nodded back at .

"We would like to tour the area already. Our boss doesn't have much ti on his hands. Also, I don't think your assistance is needed. Just send the dean of the particular building with us. We will et you directly at the office," Shadow said, and the principal looked at as if confirming what my subordinate was saying was my decision too.

However, one look at , and he quickly scurried away after nodding.

'Do you feel anything, Reaper?' I asked my wolf, who shook his head at as he sat leisurely in my head space.

'I don't -' Reaper suddenly paused before he stood and raised his snout as if trying to sll sothing.

"Can we go to the left?" He asked , and I nodded before walking towards the left side, making my n follow .

I noticed a few students trying to film us silently, and I looked at the dean who joined us. I really didn't like being fild.

There was sothing about the word enigmatic that I liked when they described because only a few people know the real .

The dean imdiately understood my silent indication and asked the students to not film anymore as we walked toward the science building.

"How are things going with the laboratory?" I asked, rolling my sleeves as I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable with the scorching heat in this area.

"It's going well, sir. The funds you sanctioned this quarter have been used in buying the chemicals for the new batch," The dean said, and I noticed how he was using limited words to interact with .

A smirk appeared on my face as we walked to the elevator.

However, before I could get inside, Reaper started walking in my head space again.

'I think we should take the stairs,' He said, and I rolled my eyes at him.

'Are you sure you are not doing this because you want to make sweat?' I asked.

Reaper grinned, making sigh.

Even though the possibility of him joking with was high, I wanted to trust his instincts since we were trying to catch a very cunning rogue.

Judging from how the students were filming us, the rogue might try to run away from the staircase thinking I would take the elevator.

Without wasting another second, I took the stairs, Shadow following behind .

"Why are we taking the stairs, sir?" Shadow asked, and I was about to answer him when I felt it.

It was so small that if I hadn't been focusing, I would've really missed it. The faint scent of lavender, which was coming towards us earlier, was suddenly gone.

There was no doubt soone had run away from the stairs just now.

"Quick, we need to catch whoever it was," I said, slightly confused by the scent.

Was this rogue cunningly using a female's scent to confuse us? I gritted my teeth as we rushed to the third floor, towards the other side of the building.

I was walking fast, but then suddenly, I couldn't help myself and halted in my steps.

The scent suddenly changed. It was almost as if the person I was following didn't exist anymore.

Where did it go? I looked around while Shadow moved ahead to look behind the stairs.

"A cat? What is a cat doing in the University?" I heard Shadow speak, and I furrowed my brows.

What did he say? A cat?

Shadow stepped away from in front of , and I looked at the cat, her big wide eyes looking at , making squint my brows even more.

"oww," The cat wed, making Reaper imdiately stand on his paws.

'F*cking Adorable!' Reaper snarled inside , and I didn't know how to respond to that. It was good that he found a cat adorable, but did he really need to be so extre with his expression of liking it?

"A cat?! How can a cat co here?!" The dean, who was probably inford we stopped at the third floor, rushed to us as he looked at the white cat with big grayish-blue eyes.

"I swear this is Cia's doing," The dean said

"Central Intelligence Agency?" Shadow asked.

I really wanted to smack my own subordinate for saying sothing like that.

It was obviously a person's na.

Was this really a ti to joke around when we weren't even able to find that one rogue who has been hiding right under our nose?

'Sorry, sir,' Shadow imdiately bowed in apology through the mind-link.

"Cia?" I looked at the dean who sighed.

"I am sorry that you have to see this, sir. There is this student of mine. Quite intelligent I must say, but she is also the naughtiest student among all. This isn't the first ti she snuck a cat into the University. If this cat is here, she must also be here sowhere looking for it," The dean explained, the awkwardness clear in his eyes as he looked around.

I won't lie. I was slightly intrigued by this Cia girl.

"Co here, you brat," The dean crouched down to pick up the cat, but to everyone's surprise, including , the cat hissed at the dean and almost scratched his hand before moving to my foot and looking up at .

I don't do cats.

I rolled my eyes and was about to move my legs away when the cat widened its eyes at as if pleading to .

Seriously. Can they even do that?

Poor luck, cat. I don't get easily influenced by such things. I scoffed.

'Pick it up. I want to look at her closely,' Reaper said.

'You are not serious,' I looked at my wolf, deadpanned.

'Do you want to growl to let you know I am serious?' Reaper asked, a clear threat in his voice.

Honestly, it surprised .

Reaper was never a fan of Felidae species like cats, panthers, or others. Maybe it ca down to us being from the Canidae species.

So for him to urge to pick up the cat was definitely surprising.

"She likes you," Shadow said, and I glared at him.

She might like , but I don't really- I looked at the cat, unable to think of the word.

She was really cute, no doubt.

As if dejected by my rejection, the cat turned around, her head down, and I felt a sudden pang in my heart.

Yes! I felt a f*cking pang in my heart for a freaking cat!

I gritted my teeth and picked up the creature in my hand before looking at her face and eyes that looked like they imdiately lit up as she looked at .

"Let's go," I said.

This way I would be able to et that Cia girl too, who has been breaking laws by bringing animals into the University. Human or no human, they need to be punished for breaking laws either way.

I nodded to myself, reasoning with myself why I have to hold this creature, holding the cat close to my chest, making it w softly as it rubbed her face on my chest, making feel a bit ticklish.

"Behave!" I hissed at the cat, who once again looked at with those doe eyes, making grit my teeth.

'Have you seen her enough? I want to put her down. Just look at the way she is looking at us. She will grow attached for sure, and you know I don't do attachnts,' I asked Reaper who was silent for so ti before he said sothing that made almost lose my control.

'Let's adopt this cat and take her ho,'
