As soon as the lecture had finished Lucy packed her things away as quickly as she could and made a swift exit, pretending that she hadn’t seen Cassandra waving frantically to her as she left, or heard her shouting her name over the ruckus of the hall emptying of students.She could feel Noah’s eyes on her back as she pushed through the crowded hallways and made her way down the halls, bursting through the doors and out into the courtyard beyond.“Lucy…” Maia murmured in concern.“I’m fine, I just..I just need some air.” she muttered back as she moved as far away from the crowd of students as she could.After making sure she was out of sight, she sank to the ground with her back against a tree, sucking in lungfuls of the sweet air that her lungs so desperately craved.“What happened? Lucy, what’s going on?”“ I don’t know. I felt like I was suffocating in there and I just needed to get out.” She sighed as she rested her head on her arm.They sat in silence as she stared at the students
Theo sat opposite Lucy and watched with amusement as she demolished the sandwich that he had brought her only a few minutes previously. He raised an eyebrow and smirked as she looked up at him and scowled.“It’s rude to stare you know,” she mumbled as she pushed her plate to the side, with Maia purring contentedly inside of her.“Well, sometimes, you know, I can’t help it.” He grinned as he picked a napkin up off the table and quickly leaned over, wiping the spot of sauce away that she had missed above her top lip, and smirking as he sat back.Lucy could feel herself blushing furiously with embarrassment under his smoldering gaze that seemed to burn into her and touch her in a place that she would rather not think about in the middle of a bustling cafe.She cleared her throat and reached for her drink, surreptitiously wiping at the spot that Theo had touched only moments earlier.“So, about this little task,” Lucy began, a little flustered as he cut her off with a little chuckle.“I’m
The last lecture that Lucy attended seemed to be over far too quickly. Even though she had covered all of the course material in her previous life, she got on particularly well with the female professor that took the class for Community and Pack Unity, and this time around, Lucy wasn’t just a silent bystander.The former Luna that took the class seemed particularly impressed by her knowledge of exactly how the New Moon and Full Moon pack runs helped to increase the sense of unity within a pack and Lucy felt that little prick of self satisfaction at the acknowledgement of her apparent grasp of the topic.She left the lecture with a smile on her face and having nothing else to do between now and her final lecture for the day, she made her way back to her dorm.“Still nothing from Theo?” Maia asked worriedly.“No, but it's only been a few hours. Relax. Save your energy. We have training to finish the day with.” Lucy grimaced as Maia pranced about excitedly in her head.“YES! Oh, I can’t
After refilling the water bottle that she kept in her bag, and throwing a couple of snack bars in for after training, Lucy locked her apartment back up and headed over to the gym. It wasn’t too far from where she had emerged in the lake only a day prior and the thought of her abrupt rebirth and the circumstances surrounding it still gave her shivers.She changed quickly in the changing room, pulling her leggings and sports bra on quickly, followed by a large, oversized white t-shirt pulled over her head. She grimaced as Noah’s scent suddenly surrounded her and she remembered a little too late that he had always insisted that she use his shirts during gym.He hated the fact that the unmated males frequently took their places on the machines or on the benches around the room whenever the female gym sessions were scheduled. Lucy had tried to explain that the gym sessions were often shared by both males and females, but they usually kept to the opposite sides of the gyms, but Noah had arg
Lucy threw Theo a quick text message as soon as she had showered and only seconds later her phone pinged with a message alert.‘I’m done for today. Meet me at the coffee shop when you’re finished at the Gym, I’ll grab you some food.’Lucy grinned to herself and finished changing into her clean clothes as quickly as she could, stuffing her kit back into her bag haphazardly before sprinting for the door.“I really hope he’s found something that we can use,” Maia murmured as Lucy slowed her pace so as not to draw attention to themselves.The last thing she wanted was for Cassandra or Noah to see her in a hurry and arouse their suspicions.As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Theo waiting for her outside the shop with a bag clutched tightly in one hand as he waved at her with the other and began to make his way over to her.“Hey. Do you want to go somewhere a little less…public?” Theo asked as he pulled her into a quick hug.“You don’t want to eat here?” Lucy asked with a frown.
Theo and Lucy headed back to their own apartments to drop their things off after they had finished at the riverside and arranged to meet again just before midnight.As soon as she was home, Lucy busied herself with organizing her notes and her planner and readied her school bag for the next day so that she wouldn’t be rushing around in the morning.Before she knew it, it was almost time to head out and meet Theo.“You should probably change into something darker if you don’t want to be noticed. It’s almost midnight,” Maia suggested.Lucy nodded and changed quickly, throwing a short text to Theo as she pulled her leggings up and slipped her shoes on.By the time she arrived at the park close to the school's administration center, Theo was already there and dressed similarly to Lucy. He handed her a plain black baseball hat and a black face cover with a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth.“You better put these on, just in case they have cameras up in there. It would be better if
Theo frowned down at her, trying desperately to keep his gaze from lowering to her lips and mentally kicked himself.“Why would Cassy be here?” He whispered.I don’t fucking know, but she’s with the damn security guard!" Lucy whispered urgently. "We can't let them catch us."“What the fuck is she doing with him?” He frowned, struggling to wrap his head around the situation. Of everyone that might have caught them in the act, Cassandra had not figured too high on his list.Lucy moved slightly to peer through the blinds as unobtrusively as she could, careful not to cause too much movement in case it drew their attention but the scene that unfolded before her eyes made her realize that she hadn’t needed to worry too much.Cassandra was bent over the desk, her shoulders over the edge with her breasts hanging freely as the security guard thrust his cock in and out of her mouth, one hand holding her in place as he forced himself down her throat and the other alternating between slapping her
“Did you intend to invite Theo as your plus one for the party or was that a spark of inspired genius on your part thanks to the forced proximity in the storage cupboard?” Maia asked dryly as Lucy shut the door to her apartment behind her.“It just sort of happened,” Lucy sighed as she kicked her shoes off and made her way over to her bed, throwing herself down with a relieved sigh, “Maybe it was because we got in and out without being discovered…”“If it wasn’t for Theo we probably would have been discovered,” Maia grumbled, “You know, we should really focus on training these skills, who knows when they might come in handy again because let’s face it, we don’t know if we’ll be able to prevent Theo’s disappearance.”Lucy grimaced as she reached for the files she had thrown beside her.“Don’t be such a pessimist, Maia. I have faith in us. If we can change our fate, there's no reason we can’t change his too…whatever happened to him.”Maia grumbled in response and curled herself away in t
