These few days, I was quite calm because there were no problems, and everything was going well. The project I'm working on is almost finished, and then my meeting with Prof. Seth wasn't interrupted either.It all happened thanks to Atlas, who had avoided contact with me for the past few days. I didn't care, and I actually felt relieved, although, of course, Rory often showed up later and got angry with me because my attitude towards Atlas was considered bad by him.She kept rambling that I might get into trouble later because of my attitude, and then I would regret treating Atlas like that, and that kind of thing meant that I had to go to Atlas and apologize for my attitude towards him. Seriously! I certainly wasn't going to do that.But I didn't want to think about it. I wanted to enjoy my time off as best as I could before Atlas got back at me. Who knows when Atlas will end his quiet time and start giving me trouble again? So before that happens, I will enjoy my peace.I closed my l
"You don't have to overthink about it, Elsie." I looked up, staring at Prof. Seth, who came to bring me a cup of coffee.The man's hand stretched out to give me the cup, and I accepted it. "Thank you," I said softly, then grasped the warm cup with both hands tightly.I focused on the warmth radiating from my palms, sighing softly. My gaze looked gloomy now, the cafe where we were sitting which looked colorful, looked dark.I hissed and cast my gaze out the window of the campus cafeteria. My mind was trying hard to find an escape to stop being down, but I couldn't find anything that could make me turn away from disappointment."Elsie..." I heard Prof. Seth calling my name softly. I then turned my gaze to him. I felt a little bad for making her overlook me when she was trying to comfort me. He sighed softly, looking into my eyes with a softened look. "You don't have to think about it."I wish I did!I wish I could relax and be optimistic about what happened. But what I've experienced so
Anonymous PoV"I'm in a good mood right now." I looked up at the window that revealed the light from the view from the floor.Compared to the light from outside the window, this place looked dim and gloomy. Only the lights were dimly lit, restricting the movement of the eyes in looking, but I was strangely unaffected by the atmosphere of this room.I vaguely saw movement from the man sitting opposite me. "That woman doesn't deserve happiness," I said, continuing our previous discussion.I took another sip of wine from my glass, smiling. My heart was beating merrily, and the endorphins in my body gathered to make me happy. What happened to that woman really cheered me up.Honestly, I was expecting the situation to be even worse, but that's okay, it's a start, because slowly what I want will come to pass, what I hope for will come to pass."So what do we do next?" the man asked, looking impatient.Although he didn't need to be. I don't like rushing things without a plan. Most of the tim
"I don't want to go home," I muttered after parting with Prof. Seth.It's not because I want to be with Prof. Seth longer, but because I don't want to go back home immediately and meet the people at home, especially...I walked with no enthusiasm as I recalled what Harry told me about this morning. Well, I have to attend the training camp tonight. This is a direct order from Harry.Who would understand the alpha's attitude? Harry doesn't talk to me much. Rarely, in fact, but suddenly, he was talking about training camp.I know, at my age. It was only natural for me to come and participate in it. However, I'm not sure if my being there will make any progress.I mean, look at me!It's no secret that I'm very weak. People think I am, and they don't hesitate when they say that I'm useless.And then, this useless person would suddenly appear and join them. "Ah, I'm sure it will be very uncomfortable." I kicked at the small rocks I saw along my travelling path.Venting my frustration at the
"I really miss him." Rory appeared suddenly and started to show her presence in me again.She rarely spoke to me, showing her presence, which she rarely did when in a difficult situation. But if it caused Atlas, the person he recognized as her mate, then she would appear and confuse me with what she felt."I'm happy to be in her arms. Breathing in her scent makes me feel so close to her. Doesn't his embrace feel warm, Elsie?" I smiled sarcastically as she asked that in my head.What the hell is she?Warm, she said? She might be losing her mind, but I'm not. Atlas was one of the sources that made my life miserable. I really don't understand Rory.I know I'm just an omega, but if Rory had shown up in my difficult moments, maybe I wouldn't be this miserable. If she had shown up and said something to encourage me, then I wouldn't feel so alone.Whether it was Rory or Atlas, both of them pissed me off. I felt angry. Something inside me seemed to overflow out."I want to be able to touch he
Elsie’s POV"Elsie ..." I turned my gaze in another direction as I faintly heard someone's voice calling me. Then I kept walking when I felt that it was just my hallucination."Elsie..." but the voice came back and was even clearer than before.I turned my face back. "Atlas?... is that you?" I searched for the origin of the voice but found no one there.Strange, then where did the voice come from if people were far enough away from me? A moment later, I could feel something approaching. There was a pressure that made my instincts kick in and alert me.I looked around and tried to calm down while concentrating on my strength to fight back. Then, when I felt that he was approaching, I raised my hand and prepared to attack even though I probably wouldn't win."Elsie, it's me." Now that I recognised that voice, he was standing right before me.I opened my mouth involuntarily and let out a sigh. "Prof. Seth?" I was amazed, but because of the sight of him, my caution dropped.He smiled and
Elsie’s POVHe wants me to call him by name only? Without any professor frills? How convenient.I was one of his students, and he was the professor who taught me, so there was a gap. There was no way I could just call him by name.Allowing myself to become too familiar by negating our status would go too far. I should still treat him with respect."I obviously can't do that prof. You're a teaching professor. It would be rude of me to just call you by name." Is it possible that he feels very familiar with me? But still, what would others think if they found out I called her by name only?I can imagine people would scoff at me, and then not only Atlas fans would bully me but also those who admire Professor Seth.Prof. Seth looked at me with a slight tilt of his head. He tried to look at me more appropriately. "Yes, I understand what you mean. But I mean that when the two of us meet and talk like this, you can treat me as your friend instead of as a professor who teaches." He explained f
Elsie's pov"Then what happened? What do you mean that he might be forced with his father?" Seth looked confused.I was just as confused as Seth right now. I wasn't sure about the part where his father might have forced Atlas. Because from what I saw, Harry didn't seem to care.Even behind my back, I doubt if they were talking about it. Since Harry didn't seem like a bad parent to Atlas, they seemed to have a reasonably normal relationship.I sighed softly, citing the leaves that fell around my feet. "It's a long story. Are you sure you want to listen?" My body, slightly bent over from picking up the leaves, turned comfortably towards him, and I saw Seth smiling."I have plenty of free time to listen about you, or maybe you don't want to tell me?" His face changed slightly as if he seemed to realize the wrong thing. "You don't have to force yourself to tell me then." He smiled a little, his eyes that looked like young wood, looked warmly and understandingly at me.Seth is indeed a per
