Ren’s Point of View

Ren stepped out of the seminar hall, the late afternoon sunlight spilling across the campus. The crisp air should have cleared his mind, but his wolf was already growling in his thoughts.

You walked away, the wolf snarled, its tone a mix of anger and frustration. Again.

Ren exhaled sharply, his hands clenching at his sides. What did you want me to do? Claim her in front of an entire class? She’s not ready.

She felt the pull, the wolf countered. She wanted you to stay.

The words stung because they were true. He had seen it in Elena’s eyes, the way her gaze lingered on him during the lecture, the way her voice had trembled slightly when she spoke to him afterward. There was something between them - something undeniable - but he couldn’t just storm into her life and expect her to understand.

She’s human, he reminded his wolf, though the argument felt weak even to himself.

She’s ours, the wolf growled back. She needs to know.

Ren stopped walking, his jaw tightening. Hi

    Ren’s Point of ViewRen leaned against the balcony railing of his private quarters in the pack house, the cool night air brushing against his face. The soft rustling of the forest below usually brought him peace, but tonight, it did little to quiet his thoughts.The evening with Elena replayed in his mind - the warmth of her smile, the way her eyes lit up when she talked about her work, the way she had laughed at one of his rare attempts at humor. It had been perfect.Almost.You’re an idiot, his wolf growled suddenly, breaking the silence in his mind. A complete dumbass.Ren straightened, frowning. What are you talking about?You didn’t ask her out again. You didn’t even get her number!Ren sighed, running a hand through his hair. I didn’t want to rush her. This is new for her. For both of us.His wolf let out an exaggerated huff. New, sure. But now you have no way to contact her. You’re going to have to stalk her on campus again like some lovesick pup. Do you have any idea how pathe

    Elena’s Point of ViewElena sat at her usual spot in the university café, a steaming latte in front of her and her laptop open to a half-written email. The hustle and bustle of students surrounded her, but her mind was elsewhere. Despite her best efforts to focus, her thoughts kept circling back to Ren.The evening they had spent together lingered in her mind like the melody of a favorite song. The warmth of his smile, the intensity of his gaze, the way he had listened so intently to her ramblings about mythology - it had all felt so… effortless.Except now, a week later, she realized there was one glaring issue.“I still don’t have his number,” she muttered under her breath, her cheeks flushing at the thought.“What was that?” Sara’s voice cut through her thoughts as she slid into the chair across from her, a bright smile on her face.Elena blinked, startled. “Oh, nothing. Just talking to myself.”Sara raised an eyebrow, setting her bag down and pulling out her phone. “Uh-huh. Talkin

  • Alpha and Human Professor   Chapter 12 : The Prophecy

    Ren’s Point of ViewRen walked onto the university campus, his every step deliberate and calm, though his wolf stirred with barely contained excitement. It had been a week since he last saw Elena, a week of restless nights and endless debates with his inner self about whether he should stay away or return to her.You know why you’re here, his wolf growled, smug but impatient. You can’t fight this pull. She’s ours.Ren didn’t respond, his gaze fixed on the building ahead. He had made his decision; there was no point arguing with himself about it now.As he approached the seminar hall, his steps slowed. Through the throng of students and faculty bustling around the courtyard, his eyes found her, and everything else faded into the background.She was walking toward the seminar room, her long, loose hair cascading down her back like a dark waterfall. She wore a flowing dress in a deep shade of green, its V-neckline subtly accentuating the graceful curves of her body. She carried herself w

    Elena’s Point of ViewElena adjusted the hem of her dress for what felt like the hundredth time that afternoon, glancing at her reflection in the office window. The long, flowing green fabric was simple yet elegant, with a subtle V-neckline that added just enough flair without being too bold. It was casual, but it made a statement -exactly what she had wanted.“You look amazing,” Sara had said as they stood in the boutique the day before, inspecting the dress in the mirror. “Trust me, if he doesn’t notice you in this, he’s a fool.”Elena had laughed nervously, her mind already racing with thoughts of how today might unfold. She hadn’t admitted it to Sara, but she had picked the dress with Ren in mind. She wanted to look her best, to remind him of the woman he had walked away from without asking for a phone number or setting up another meeting.Now, standing at the front of the seminar room, she felt a mix of anticipation and nerves. The room was filling quickly, students and visitors

    Ren’s Point of ViewRen’s laughter lingered in the quiet seminar hall long after Elena had left, the sound echoing softly off the walls. He shook his head, a faint smile still tugging at his lips. She had caught him completely off guard - not something that happened often - and the way she had taken control of the situation was… refreshing.She’s bold, he thought, a flicker of admiration warming his chest.She had to be, his wolf interjected, its tone laced with amusement. Because you’re hopeless.Ren sighed, his smile fading slightly as he leaned against the edge of the desk. Here we go, he thought, bracing himself for the inevitable teasing.She handed you her phone, Ren, the wolf continued, its growl now a low rumble of satisfaction. Because you didn’t have the guts to ask for her number yourself. A human woman had to take the lead. Do you know how embarrassing that is for me?Ren rolled his eyes, though he couldn’t deny the truth of the words. I was being careful, he countered. Sh

    Elena’s Point of ViewElena walked briskly across the campus, her heart racing with a mixture of excitement and nerves. The late afternoon sunlight cast long shadows on the stone pathways, but she barely noticed. All she could think about was him.Ren.She couldn’t stop the small, triumphant smile that tugged at her lips. He had agreed to meet her tonight, and for once, she felt like she was in control of this strange, electrifying connection between them.As soon as she was out of the campus gates, she pulled out her phone and dialed Sara.“Hey, El! What’s up?” Sara’s cheerful voice answered after the second ring.“Sara, you’re not going to believe this,” Elena said, her words tumbling out in a rush.“Uh-oh, I know that tone,” Sara teased. “Did something happen with him?”“Yes!” Elena said, her excitement bubbling over. “He showed up to my seminar again today. And get this - I asked him out for a drink.”There was a pause on the other end, followed by a delighted squeal. “Oh my god,

    Ren’s Point of ViewRen stood outside the café, the warm glow of its lights spilling onto the cobblestone street as the cool evening air surrounded him. He glanced at his watch - 6:58. He had arrived ten minutes early, unable to help himself, and now every passing second felt like an eternity.She’ll be here, his wolf rumbled, its voice a mix of confidence and impatience. She wouldn’t have asked you out if she didn’t want this.I know, Ren replied, though the tension in his chest remained. Tonight wasn’t just any date - it was his chance to connect with Elena, to truly get to know her, without the weight of his secrets hanging over them.A soft breeze carried a familiar scent toward him - lavender and something warm, something uniquely hers. His wolf stirred immediately, growling in satisfaction.She’s close.Ren turned just in time to see her approaching, and the sight of her stole his breath. She was stunning. Her dark hair fell in soft waves around her shoulders, framing her face p

They walked slowly, side by side, their footsteps echoing softly against the quiet campus.Elena stole a glance at Ren, her heart beating a little faster each time his shoulder brushed hers. There was something about the way he carried himself - calm yet commanding, quiet yet intense - that made her both comfortable and exhilarated in his presence.When they reached the campus gates, she stopped, turning to face him. Her breath hitched slightly as their eyes met, his gaze warm and unwavering.“Thank you for tonight, Ren,” she said softly, her lips curving into a small smile. “I had a wonderful time.”“So did I,” he replied, his voice low and sincere.For a moment, they stood there, the world around them fading into the background. The quiet hum of the street, the rustle of leaves in the breeze - it all felt distant compared to the magnetic pull between them.Elena hesitated, her h

    Elena’s Point of ViewThe morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a golden glow over the room. Elena stood before the full-length mirror, her heart racing as she gazed at her reflection. Her ivory gown clung perfectly to her frame, the delicate embroidery shimmering like starlight. The flowing skirt cascaded around her, soft and ethereal, as if spun from moonlight itself.Behind her, Sara fussed with the veil, her eyes gleaming with pride.“Stop moving,” Sara scolded playfully, adjusting the delicate lace. “I swear, Elena, you’re going to give me a heart attack. You look like a goddess, and I refuse to let anything mess that up.”Elena laughed nervously, her hands brushing over the smooth fabric of her dress. “I can’t believe this is happening.”Sara stepped back, her expression softening. “Believe it. Today is your day, Elena. You deserve every bit of happiness coming your way.”Mirella entered the room, her sharp eyes taking in Elena’s appearance. For once, her usual

    Elena’s Point of ViewThe council chamber buzzed with quiet anticipation as Elena and Ren took their seats at the head of the long oak table. Around them, the elders and key members of the pack leaned in, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and excitement.Elder Maren was the first to speak, her sharp eyes flicking between Elena and Ren. “Alpha, Luna,” she began, her tone formal. “We understand you have an announcement to make.”Ren glanced at Elena, his golden eyes softening before he turned his attention back to the council. “We do,” he said firmly. “Elena and I have decided to marry.”A ripple of approval swept through the room, though Maren’s brow furrowed slightly. “A momentous occasion,” she said. “But I trust you’ve considered the significance of this union for the pack?”Elena straightened, meeting Maren’s gaze with calm determination. “We have,” she said. “This isn’t just about us - it’s about the pack. Our bond strengthens the unity of the wolves, and the wedding will b

  • Alpha and Human Professor    Chapter 116: "Will you ... ?"

    Elena’s Point of ViewThe pack house was unusually quiet that evening, the faint rustle of the forest outside the only sound breaking the stillness. After the emotional weight of the truce negotiations and the constant tension of the past weeks, the calm felt almost surreal.Elena sat on the edge of the balcony attached to their quarters, her legs swinging over the edge as she gazed at the stars. The cool breeze carried the scent of pine and earth, soothing her frayed nerves.Kaia stirred gently in her mind. It feels good, doesn’t it? A moment to breathe.“It does,” Elena murmured, her lips curving into a soft smile.Behind her, she heard the faint sound of footsteps. She turned to see Ren stepping onto the balcony, his golden eyes catching the starlight. He wore a simple white shirt and dark slacks, his hair slightly tousled, giving him an effortlessly handsome look.“You’re going to freeze out here,” Ren said, his voice warm as he approached.Elena shrugged, her smile widening. “The

    Elena’s Point of ViewThe air in the pack house war room was tense with anticipation as Elena paced back and forth, her mind racing with the implications of the conversation she was about to have. The battle against the rogues had forged an uneasy alliance with the humans, but now came the harder part - turning that fragile understanding into something permanent.Ren stood near the map-covered table, his golden eyes following Elena’s movements. “You’re going to wear a hole in the floor,” he said softly, a faint smirk tugging at his lips.She stopped mid-step, giving him a half-hearted glare. “I’m just trying to figure out how to approach this. One wrong word, and the whole thing could fall apart.”Ren crossed the room in a few long strides, placing a steadying hand on her shoulder. “You’ve already proven yourself to them, Elena. They saw you fight for their safety. That means something.”Kael and Mirella entered the room, their expressions serious. “The mayor just called,” Kael said.

    Elena’s Point of ViewThe morning air was crisp as Elena stood on the balcony overlooking the bustling courtyard below. Warriors moved with purpose, preparing for the day’s patrols and reinforcing the borders. Despite the renewed energy in the pack, Elena couldn’t shake the sense of urgency pressing down on her.Kaia stirred in her mind, steady and resolute. The forest has accepted us, but that won’t stop the threats circling at its edges. We need to act before they strike again.Elena nodded to herself, her gaze hardening. “We’ll find the rogues,” she murmured. “And we’ll finish this.”A knock at the door drew her attention, and Ren stepped out onto the balcony, his golden eyes bright with determination.“Elena,” he said, his voice low. “Kael’s waiting in the war room. He has a report from the patrols.”Elena turned to him, her expression firm. “Good. It’s time we take the fight to the rogues. And I have another idea - one that could secure peace with the town.”Ren raised an eyebrow

    Elena’s Point of ViewThe return to the pack house was quiet but tense, the weight of the Sacred Grove’s trials still heavy in Elena’s mind. Each step through the forest felt lighter than the last, as though the trees themselves were parting in reverence to the blessing that had been bestowed.Ren walked close to her, his arm brushing against hers occasionally, as though grounding himself in her presence. Kael and Mirella followed a short distance behind, their sharp eyes scanning the shadows for any sign of danger.Kaia stirred in Elena’s mind, her voice calm but strong. The forest accepts us now. It’s quiet, watching, but its bond with us has been renewed.Elena exhaled softly, her shoulders relaxing slightly. “I hope it’s enough,” she murmured under her breath.Ren glanced at her, his golden eyes filled with unspoken questions. “What did you give?” he asked finally, his voice low.Elena hesitated, her steps faltering. She met his gaze, her hazel eyes steady but troubled. “I don’t k

    Elena POVThe Sacred Grove seemed to pulse with its own heartbeat, the energy thick and suffocating as the ground beneath Elena’s feet began to shift again. The moss glowed brighter, almost blinding, and the air vibrated with an unseen force.“Elena,” Ren called, stepping toward her, but an invisible barrier shimmered into existence, cutting him off.“Stay back!” Elena shouted, her voice trembling but resolute. “This is my trial.”Ren’s golden eyes burned with worry as he slammed his fist against the barrier. “Elena, don’t...”“I have to,” she said firmly, turning to face the altar as a strange wind whipped through the clearing.The branches above creaked and groaned as they parted further, letting beams of silver light from the unseen moon illuminate the altar. Symbols etched into the stone flared to life, glowing with a brilliance that seemed to pierce through Elena’s very being.Kaia’s voice was steady in her mind. This is the moment, Elena. Be strong.The altar’s glow shifted, cas

    Elena’s Point of ViewThe forest was still as Elena stepped into its shadowy embrace, her heart pounding with a mixture of determination and unease. Ren walked beside her, his presence a steady anchor as they made their way toward the Sacred Grove. Behind them, Kael and Mirella flanked their path, their sharp eyes scanning the dense undergrowth for any sign of danger.The ancient texts and the Luna’s journal had painted a vivid picture of the Grove - a place where the forest’s magic was at its strongest, where the Moon Goddess’s presence could be felt in every whisper of the wind and rustle of the leaves. But no one had been there in decades, perhaps longer.Kaia stirred in Elena’s mind, her voice calm but firm. This is where we’re meant to be. The answers we need are waiting for us.Elena nodded, her hazel eyes narrowing as she focused on the path ahead. “Let’s hope the forest agrees.”Leaving the pack house had been no easy decision. The tension among the pack was palpable, the warr

    Elena’s Point of ViewThe morning sun bathed the library in golden light, casting long shadows across the ancient tomes and scrolls lining the shelves. Elena stood at one of the large tables in the center of the room, a thick, weathered book open before her.Ren was nearby, leaning against the table with his arms crossed, his golden eyes scanning the room as if expecting answers to appear out of thin air. His presence was steadying, though she could feel the tension radiating from him.“This ritual,” Elena said, breaking the silence. “If it’s as powerful as the texts suggest, it could save us. But I don’t want to risk anything without knowing exactly what we’re dealing with.”Ren nodded, his voice low. “And you’re sure the texts here will have what we need?”“They have to,” Elena said firmly. “The old packs recorded everything - rituals, prophecies, even alliances. If there’s an answer, it’s here.”Kael and Mirella entered the library, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and dete
