The Alpha's Challenge

Chapter3

{Molly's P.O.V}

We were about half way to campus - on foot, when Georgia started acting slightly strange. She got a little jittery and seemed to be looking over her shoulder a lot. I mean, its not that strange for Georgia since she has had several instances of acting weird like this since I have known her and now I just put it down to her personality.

When I asked her about it in the past, she put it down to her father being in the police force and her having some sixth sense about incoming danger... I just think she's paranoid.

There was one occasion when we were at a club and she started acting weird and it actually did end up in fists flying and a lot of people getting thrown out of the place, so she thinks she has this ability somehow. I kind of think if you do this often enough, something will happen eventually.

"Are you OK?", I asked, trying to gauge what Georgia had going through her mind.

"Yes, I just thought... Nevermind." She replied, a little confused.

"You just thought what?" I pushed, wanting to know what was on her mind.

"There has been a guy following us for a little while, but he seems to have vanished now." She said, taking another look over her shoulder. I looked over my shoulder, too, in the same direction, and couldn't see anyone.

"Maybe you freaked him out, looking at him all the time?" I said, with a slight chuckle.

"Mol, I'm serious - see this is why I said it didn't matter." She said, defensively.

"OK, OK, I'm sorry.", I said, trying to straighten my grin.

Georgia pushed my shoulder slightly, and I pretended as if she had hurt my arm. I grabbed it with my other hand and give it a rub, to which I earned an eye roll.

"Or maybe he was just walking in the same direction as us and now he has gone another way" I added, more seriously.

"Maybe, let's just keep our wits about us." Georgia added, linking my arm with hers.

We chatted some more and before we knew it, we were turning onto the path that led up to the University Campus. Ravenshore University was truly beautiful. It was an older English building and was kept spotless. There were gardens that surrounded the buildings with small water features dotted throughout the grounds. There were a couple of statues situated at the main entrance, of people of importance to the university. Sir Ravenshore is one of them. We have been here for four years now, so the beauty and picturesque nature of the place has almost worn off and the novelty was at the back of our minds - it didn't mean I didn't appreciate the beauty of the place anymore. I just didn't notice as often.

As we approached the stop of the main entrance stairway, we didn't notice another student turning the corner and, without warning, we crashed into each other. The guy standing before me didn't seem phased by the interaction and didn't even wobble on his feet, whereas I most gracefully went; for want of a better word, ass over tit. I felt my cheeks blush bright red, before standing up and brushing the dust off my trousers.

As I looked up, I saw the dull eyes of the guy standing before us roll as if I was a major inconvenience, which really pissed me off.

"An apology wouldn't cost much" I said, loud enough for him to hear as my eyes turned from soft to annoyed. Georgia dusted off the back of my t-shirt and shook her head at the guy.

"You need to watch where you're going, more like", he said, pretty quickly. He seemed to ooze confidence, but I didn't care.

"Excuse me, but you knocked me off my feet",I argued, annoyed with myself for not just walking away and forgetting about it.

He chuckled slightly to himself before rolling his eyes again and trying to push his way past me again.

I grabbed his wrist as he went between the two of us and was met with his cold stare once more.

"Let go of me before you regret every decision you've ever made" He said, with such malice it shocked me.

I quickly let go of his arm, before retorting,

"Oh, I get it. You're a big man. You like to push your weight around women, but I bet you're all bark and no bite" I said, staring him right in the eye - I couldn't help it. I may be an introvert, but my mind and my mouth do not communicate at times like this.

He looked between the two of us before moving his attention to Georgia.

"You should know better.", he spat, to which she lowered her gaze.

I looked between the two of them and my face must have been a picture. What the hell did he mean and why the hell was Georgia suddenly so shy? Did she know him? Has he hurt her? Why don't I understand what is happening in front of me?

He turned on his heels and walked away, down the path without even a glance back in our direction.

"What the hell was that all about Georgia?" I asked, when he was out of earshot.

"I don't know - but I told you I had a weird feeling", she said, looking around suspiciously again.

"Was it the same guy?" I asked - maybe she does have some sort of weird voodoo ability.

"No... but... that wasn't exactly a pleasant experience." She defended.

"Well, that I can agree on," I said.

We tried to brush off the horrible interaction with the stranger and headed into our first class, both keeping our thoughts to ourselves. We had advanced anatomy and physiology first, before a gap, and then practical all afternoon. Hopefully, we don't have to see that awful human being again today - or more, preferably in the next few weeks, until we graduate.

But of course, that wouldn't be the case.
