FreeNovelChapter 0351 From across the room, examining his clipboard, I saw Professor Xander standing in the spot that Enzo used to stand in. Xander was giant, with large muscles. He had his shirt off, so I was able to see all the tattoos covering his entire torso. There was one spot on his arm though that was blank, which I found to be odd.
He had dark hair that was cut short and eyes so dark they nearly looked black. I got an uneasy feeling from being around him.
I realized quickly that he was no longer staring at his clipboard, but he was staring at me.
My heart fell into my stomach, and I found myself taking a step backward.
His dark eyes poured into me like he was staring into my soul; Val was recoiling back into my mind, also feeling uneasy.
His lips were pressed in a line, and I saw the indifference in his face.
“Lila!” I heard my name being called from the locker room, taking me out of the dark trance.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI saw Becca standing in the doorway, waving me over to her.
I clutched my gym bag firmly in my hands and scurried over to the locker room where a bunch of other girls were getting changed for class.
“Are you ready for today’s class?” Becca asked as we went toward the changing rooms.
~as teddy as lll ever be. It’s weird that Professor Enzo isn’t here,” I said, biting my bottom lip to keep the emotions from being shown on my face.
“Tknow right,” Becca agreed. “Have you heard from him at all?” I froze and I looked at her, puzzled by her question.
“Why would I have heard from him?” I asked, my voice coming out a little weaker than I planned.
She frowned and stared around my face.
“Because your father basically uses him to protect you,” Becca said, furrowing her brows together. “Plus, he’s on the Alpha committee. Aren’t they close?”
Relief washed over me, and I gave her a light laugh.
“Oh, right,” I chuckled. “I’m sure I'l talk to him soon.” She nodded and said nothing as I went into the changing room.
I took off my lightweight pink dress and slipped off my flats to put on a pair of yoga pants, a tank top, and a pair of sneakers. I tied my long hair into a ponytail. I stared into the mirror at my appearance and frowned at my reflection.
I didn’t feel any different than I did last year, but I felt a world of difference. I felt older and surer of myself.
A smile painted my lips as I left the changing room. I went over to my locker to put the rest of my stuff inside.
“Well, look who decided to finally show up for class,” Sarah sneered from her locker nearby. “You're in for it.
This new professor is not one to fuck with.” I glanced at Sarah with a frown; she was pale. Almost sickly. She also had dark circles under her eyes like she hadn’t slept. I wondered if it had anything to do with Scott.
“Don’t listen to her,” Becca whispered once Sarah was gone. “You're going to be fine.” I nodded and gave her a thankful smile.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTogether, we went into the arena and joined the other students that were gathering.
“I'm not going to baby you. If you don’t understand the basic concepts of combat, then you don’t belong in my class. We will be focused on hand combat today. You will not be using your wolves and if you do, you will sit the rest of class out.” His voice was deep and firm; it was filled with authority. Everyone stayed silent as he spoke.
“You chose your partners yesterday and you will stick with them until the end. You will continue to fight until the other person can physically fight no more.” I looked around and saw that everyone was already evenly paired up. Even Becca stood beside a shorter girl with curly red hair and bright red lips. She didn’t look like she could hurt a fly.
There was no one left to partner with me.
“Get to it,” Professor Xander ordered.
Everyone dispersed into different sections of the arena, but I kept my ground, unsure of what to do.
Xander stared at me with a deepening frown.
“Oh yes... the one who was too good to show up for class yesterday. You are already a day behind everyone else.
Considering you don’t have a partner for this semester, it looks like you're stuck with me, sweet cheeks.” I swallowed hard as he walked closer to me. In a low and threatening tone, he added, “Make no mistake, I'm not your precious Enzo. I’m not going to go easy |
onyou.”
