Aubrey's POV " You look like a zombie, Aubrey." Alexis gasped immediately I walked into our class the next morning. " Gee, thanks," I muttered sarcastically, all eyes were on me. My face flamed as I trudged to my seat. Thankfully, only a few students were present, and they did well not to look at us. She chuckled when I finally arrived at my seat which was beside hers, " Seriously, you look like shit. I almost couldn't recognize you." She repeated.Then her face tilted into concern, " Are you sure that you are feeling better? We could go to the hospital." She suggested. How does one stay mad at such a person? One minute she was embarrassing you and the next, concerned about your welfare. " Yes, to get your head checked." She laughed heartily, picking no offense, " Are you sure they can handle it? My craziness is top tier." She laughed louder.I shook my head at her antics, " So... What assignment are we doing today?" She clapped her hands gleefully, and I raised a brow. " What?"
Aubrey's POV I met Alexis and Sylvia another coursemate of mine, in his office, when I got there. "You will be the class representative." He said, and Alexis gave me a thumbs up from where she was sitting. I don't want this position! Being in the know that people were watching me, I smiled, " Alright, sir."He returned his attention to the students before him, and I went out of his office. Was that the reason for the drama? I didn't know what they were asking him. My phone buzzed in my pocket, and I swiped the screen angrily. "What?!" " Hey, babe. Who got on your nerves?" Xander replied, and I rolled my eyes. " Why aren't you in school?" I replied. He was supposed to be here." I was caught up with a few things. I had to sort them out. Did you write my name on the attendance sheet?" " I should have known that is why you are calling." " No, It was urgent, I'm sorry that I didn't call. Did you?" He repeated. He was doing stuff that couldn't be spoken about. Well, I didn't care.
Knight's POV " Incoming call from Josh," Siri announced, and I rose from my bed. Today was a weekend, and I needed to hit the gym. This urban community wasn't conducive for me to shift and it bothered me a lot. I guess the treadmill would bear the brunt." Hello, Josh," I said immediately I picked up the phone. What was going on? It was quite unusual for Josh to call this early on a weekend. "A group of rogues were seen at the outskirts of the pack last night. We were able to chase them to the border, but unable to catch them." He explained. I knew it, something bad had happened. " Nobody was harmed right?" My pack's safety was important to me." Yes- No, a few warriors got scraped during the fight." He said." How is Ellie doing?" "Great. She's been filling into her shoes perfectly. It's almost like she was her." He replied, refusing to mention my wife's name because it was a sore topic for all of us. She just left without saying goodbye." Okay, if they appear again, let me kno
Aubrey's POV "What?" His eyes widened a tiny fraction, at my question." Forget that I said anything. I just came to say thank you." I replied and turned to leave. His hand shot out to grip mine, and I felt hot and bothered. What did he mean by that? " What gave you that impression?" He asked. "Ramon is a big bully. He's never afraid of anyone. Forgive me if I think that you are in the mob. You must have done something to make him agree to stay away." I replied. "You are not kidding." He replied."Aubrey!" Xander called from the glass. I jumped and tried to jerk my hand away from his grip.He stared at me, "I told you to leave that boy. He is bad news. "He replied and reluctantly let go of my hand."I'll be the judge of that," I muttered and walked back to the gym." What were you discussing?" Xander asked as we watched him drive off. Then turned to face me. " Why was he holding your hand?" He asked.I squinted, " Why the interrogation? How am I supposed to know?" I replied.He fr
Aubrey's POV We shuffled down the flight of stairs in a hurry to get into Mr. Drew, our history lecturer's class. I wouldn't have been in this situation if not for surfing the net till midnight, which threw me into this dilemma." Hey." Alexis waved at me when I entered the class. Surprisingly, the class was half full. Weren't students ready for the day?" Where is everyone?" I asked. Alexis wore a smirk on her face and "April Fool's Day!" She shouted.I swung my bag at her, " Are you kidding me? You told me to hurry because of April Fool?" I muttered. She choked on her laughter as her eyes crinkled in mischief, "I'm sorry." She whispered." No, you are not," I replied rolled my eyes, and sat beside her. " Is there even a class today?" " Yeah, but it starts at noon. I wanted you to be here early. I heard that we might be having some tests later today, and you need to read." She laughed. I took a glance at my watch, we had four hours more. " I am famished, I'll be at the cafeteria
Aubrey's POV I managed to come up with a wack answer, but thankfully, Mr. Drew nodded. Alexis was able to answer it perfectly and we moved on. " Hey, Aubrey." Matt raced towards us when we were going home. Firstly, I needed to sleep. My head was pounding like I had a hangover. "Hello, guys." He waved and gave Alexis and Xander shy smiles. What are you doing here? I smiled in return, " Hi, Matt. How are you doing?" I raised my brows. A small blush appeared on his chubby cheeks, " Fine. I wanted to remind you that a study will be held on Wednesday. You have not replied to my text." " Her phone is faulty." Alexis chirped in and smiled at Matt. "Aren't you going to invite me? Or do I not look smart?" She accused.Poor Matt. He was at a loss for words. " I didn't think that you would be interested. You're welcome. So, see you on Wednesday, 7 pm. I'll text you the address." " Text me instead," Alexis said and punched her number into his phone." Whew! I still do not know how a stude
Knight's POV 'Mate is beautiful.' My wolf uttered in awe of Aubrey as she folded her arms and stared at me with defiance shining in those depths. " What are you doing here?" She challenged. I dipped my hand into my pocket as I scanned her room. It was neatly arranged. It was obvious that she just cleaned the room. " You have a nice place," I commented and watched in amusement as she kissed her teeth in irritation. If it were another in this position, I would have laughed so hard, at the irony of me being mated to this little girl. Well, she had filled out in the right places. Her eyes narrowed at me in anger, " You still haven't answered my question." She replied. The air crackled with tension, my wolf was going mad in my head. 'Mate is so gorgeous when angry.'" You feel it too, don't you?" I walked towards her, and she moved a step back before planting her feet and staring me square in the eyes. Other people's heads would have rolled for this similar action." Feel what?" she
Aubrey's POVI was moody the next day and when I walked into the class, Alexis didn't spare me."Why does your face look sour?" She commented as I dropped my bag on the seat beside hers. " Not now, Alexis," I replied and brought out my notes from my bag. I set them on the table too hard because it resounded throughout the class and everyone turned to me.I smiled sheepishly as my face heated up, " Are you okay?" Alexis inquired. " Yes." Luckily, she didn't bother me anymore and we sat through the lectures without talking. Her eyes strayed to mine at different intervals, but she didn't say anything." We will be having a test next week on Tuesday. I hope we are also getting our trip next week Wednesday. Get prepared." Mr. Drew announced.Choruses of yes sirs filled the hall. Plans were made and I scrolled through my phone. " I am going to the cafeteria, are you coming?" I shook my head. " I'll be fine, I just need to get my head together," I explained. It was not right to give her
