Chapter Two

Introductions started from the first rows and when it finally got to me, I was a blabbing mess, for some reason, I couldn’t make a coherent sentence.

“ em! Em! My na-name is-is.....

“ Oh God! Can you get to it already? Brenda whined annoyingly.

I twiddled my fingers in embarrassment and anxiety.

“My name is Emily Keeler”.

He stared at me so intensely like he could see through me.

I zoned out throughout the entire lesson majorly because I was staring and daydreaming about our new professor.

“ how can someone so handsome be so mean”

“ Now class, I have some books I want you all to review, I’m sure some of you have read it or at least seen it.” He looked straight at me while saying this and I noticed a flicker of silver in his eyes.

“ Review it and in our next class, you will tell me what your thoughts are about a specific character.”

“ Are you ok!?, Jenna tapped me and I nodded.

“ That will be all, class dismissed.

Jenna and I stood up gathering our things and I looked toward him. Our eyes met and I looked away fast, blushing like a preschool girl . I ran out of the class like my butt was on fire .

“ Wow! He is so hot, isn’t he??

“ I will do him “ Jenna says dreamily.

“ But are you ok? you look red like a tomato.

“ I am good,thanks”

“ Well, did you notice how he stared at you throughout the lesson,? I think even the whole class noticed.

“ I don’t think so, you saw wrong” I retorted. I thought back to when his eyes turned silver or it could have just been my eyes playing tricks on me

“ Maybe, “ she says staring into space.

After my last class for the day, I headed to the library. The library is my sanctuary. It was a quaint place with soft lightning illuminating the hushed atmosphere. The air is filled with the soft scent of aged paper, fostering an ambiance that encourages learning and retrospection. I was seated in a quiet corner engrossed in my favorite book “ The Mafia King and his angel’. In the world of stories, I was a silent participant, connecting with my characters and lost in the magic woven by the author’s words.

My phone’s sudden buzz shattered the silence, jolting me out of my reverie. My fingers fumbled to answer and Jenna’s loud and shrill voice rang out.

“Guess what!!

I signed knowing it was one of her usual excitement rounds.

‘ There’s a bonfire tonight at the creek close to the Salvatore mansion. we have to go and please don’t say no.’ She begged dramatically.

‘ you need to have more fun and as your best friend, it’s my duty”. Jason also asked about you and I think he likesss.. you, she sang out.

‘I don’t want to go out today and it’s a weeknight, also I have to call my parents, you know how nervous and antsy they get when they don’t hear from me daily.

‘plus I don’t like Jason, I know he’s cute and all but he’s a manwhore, why would I be interested in him?

“ I didn’t ask you to marry him, just have fun with him and maybe some rounds of mind-blowing s*x, you are twenty not eighty missy. Your parents won’t die if they don’t hear from you for just one day.

After thinking for a short while, i finally agreed .well, it won’t hurt right”?

“But I won’t stay long ‘.

“thank you! Thank you, I know the perfect outfit you should wear.

Kane’s pov

My alarm blared annoying and I almost threw it out the window in anger. I signed and finally got up.

The first thing I do in the mornings is to go running in my wolf form, it helps me stay sane throughout the day. My wolf is midnight black and bigger than most because I’m an alpha.

I live in a gated community with top-notch security. To the Humans, it looked like an estate or a mansion which it was. It was first built by my father to give us wolves a sense of belonging and privacy.

I owned Salvatore Group, a cyber security company, we also owned hotels and restaurants all over the city. I guess you could call me a billionaire.

Lately, we have been having some troubles with wolf hunters, a total of 25 of our species have been killed brutally without a trace. After some investigations and findings, we discovered that the Vice-chancellor of Newsville University Nicholas Oberoi might be involved.

“ So what’s the plan “? Colin my beta and best friend asked with a mouthful of pancakes sputtering some as he talked

“ That’s disgusting, do not talk while eating”

“ Relax man, it’s nothing serious.

I rolled my eyes in annoyance.

“ We have to infiltrate his environs and watch him closely to know if he has a hand in the killings.

“ Hmm, well he spends most of his time in the university and we might be able to get some info if we investigate the school.

“ That’s a good idea’ why don’t you apply to work as a professor or something ‘? I chorused.

“ Of course not, I think you will be the perfect person for it, you have an English degree and an English professor position just opened up.

“ you must be joking, I have an empire to run and do not have the time to gallivant around hormonal teens and students.!

“ That is our only option or do you have a better idea!?

“ Fine! But only for a month”

“ yeah ! Yeah! Whatever you say Alpha,” he says rolling his eyes in mockery.

If he wasn’t my best friend, I’m sure he would already be dead by my hands, he knows how to get under my skin.

With my influence, it barely took a week to get a job as an English professor.

I walked into the school and the smell of s*x and lust was intense. The school was bigger than I anticipated with cobblestone walls and green fields. I stepped out of my Lamborghini Aventador, the looks and stares I got were intense. Well, the car is eye-catching and the driver too.

The Vice-chancellor stood up to welcome me when I got to his office.
