“Why do you live in this cheap apartment? You are filthy rich.” Marcus, who is one of Mike's bodyguards glances at the door.

“Your bravery is something else.” I chuckle bitterly, mad at myself for letting them take Willow. “You have the nerve to make a casual conversation?”

“I’m just asking. It looks expensive, but don’t they maintain the doors and everything? Did you hear the creaking of the door when we closed it? It was not loud, but good for dramatic effect.”

“I have to admit, I felt it too. I can imagine the poor woman’s face when she heard the door slowly closing behind her.” His friend laughs.

“Where did they take her?” I growl.

“Easy, tiger. You wouldn’t want us to make a call to get her killed.” He grins devilishly. “She is so young, so innocent, with hopes and dreams.” He says with a shaky voice, and the most theatrical facial expression and a hand on his chest. If he did this under different circumstances, I would be laughing my ass off.

“Fuck you!” I bellow.

  • Professor And The Feisty Human   Chapter 64: The Truth

    “You are leaving University of Washington?” Leo exhales, running a hand over his hair.“Well, are you going to tell me?” I raise my eyebrows expectantly, ignoring his question.“Professor Malino is here.”The door opens almost immediately. “Leo and Willow, I need...Am I interrupting?” She pauses and looks from me to Leo, her eyebrows knitted with concern.“No, professor.” I smile politely.“Aren’t you two supposed to be in class, anyway? Like, the class starts in two minutes.”“Fuck!” Leo mutters.“Leo? Language.” She raises her eyebrows, a smile tugging at her lips.“Sorry,” he mumbles, and I smile at how cute their relationship is.“Take whatever you need,” she says to Professor Malino. “I’m going to class, Willow.” His attention flickers to me.“We are supposed to go.” I try to pull the lever under the chair again, and I feel the burn on my cheeks as I look from him to Professor Malino, who is seemingly confused.I glance at Leo and at the chair, silently begging him to help me get

  • Professor And The Feisty Human   Chapter 63: Kisses And Frustrations

    Willow We have thirty minutes before the next class, and we usually have to already be in class, making sure that everything is in order. Professors usually have to be in class ten minutes before lessons, but not Leo, unless he has back-to-back classes. He stares at my lips, and his pupils dilate, something primal and hungry in them. Is it his wolf? I wrap my arms around his broad shoulders, and he doesn’t move or even flinch. The lab is a little too quiet, with just the sounds of our heartbeats and heavy breathing. I close the tiny space between us. The moment my lips touch his, I half expect him to stop me, but he slightly bites my bottom lip and before we know it, we find ourselves kissing. He moves one hand from my waist to my thigh, his warm hand creeping under the thin fabric of my summer dress. I let out an audible gasp as his hand moves on my inner thigh and I instinctively part my legs to give him better access. His hand stops moving, and he continues to kiss me, one of

  • Professor And The Feisty Human   Chapter 62: Hands On My Waist

    When my morning alarm rings, I groan at the thought of going to Leo’s class to do my job as a TA. I spend about thirty minutes staring at the ceiling, debating if I should send a sick note or not. I end up yanking myself out of bed, late, and doing everything in a rush. I put on my red floral print summer dress and white sneakers. My hair is in a messy bun and I run to Leo’s lab before heading to class. I open the door and I find Professor Malino holding a bottle. “Willow? Why are you running? I could hear you from...” “Werewolves and their hearing abilities,” I mutter, and she chuckles. “I’m here to steal Leo’s chloroform,” she whispers. “My lips are sealed.” I smile, glad that I’m keeping a secret of hers. Professor Malino has been nothing but amazing for the past three months, and she makes me feel like I have a second mother. A statement that always makes my mom roll her eyes every time. I tell her that it’s jealousy, but she insists that she is a secure mother. “Aren’t y

  • Professor And The Feisty Human   Chapter 61: Secrets?

    Willow Jeremy and I take a quiet walk to the door of my dorm. “See you soon,” he gives me a friendly smile. I smile back and I nod. When I get to my bedroom, I take off my heels and put on sneakers and a jacket before rushing off to Leo’s lab. I notice that the lights are on from the outside, and I brace myself for our awkward silence and uncomfortable small talk. I use my access card to open, and I find Leo with his eyes on the microscope, and one of the tables filled with prepared microscope slides. “Willow,” he says without looking up. “How did you know it was me? Oh! My scent.” I walk to him, and he looks up after covering another slide. “It wasn’t your scent. You and Professor Malino are the only people with access to my lab, and she is working at the hospital tonight.”“What about your other TAs? Don't they have access?” I hop on a seat next to his. “We have way too many labs on campus.” I try not to think about it, but I feel a surge of warmth through my body. Does th

  • Professor And The Feisty Human   Chapter 60: A Date With Jeremy

    Willow Three months later I apologized to Professor Malino for being distant, and I thanked her for taking care of Asclepius. Leo and I told her that I know about werewolves and she didn’t mind that I know. Liam has been awfully quiet, which is never a good sign. When he realized that I wasn’t willing to get back together, he promised revenge. As for Mike. I haven’t asked for an update. Leo and I decided to keep our relationship strictly professional. Leo’s wolf is back, and he looks like his normal self again. He hasn’t found his next mate, and he hopes he never will. I always look over my shoulder because I don’t know what Mike’s next move might be, and I have no idea if Leo is still providing him with limbicus or not. I place my laptop on the bed behind me while I sit on the dressing chair. Chloe is visiting Mom, and we are on Zoom as they give me instructions on how to apply my makeup in a way that will suit my face. “Take lots of pictures,” Chloe says excitedly. “Please, m

  • Professor And The Feisty Human   Chapter 59: Friendship Break-up

    “Babe, I forgive you for everything. We can start over, I will divorce Lucy.” He walks towards me and Leo follows behind, his sharp gaze on him and his fists clenched. If looks could kill. “Forgive me? You were trying to use my grief to settle your score with Leo.” “You also stabbed me in the back and got me arrested, we can forgive each other and move on. Our relationship is special...” “Liam, we broke up.” “Broke up with who? You are mine, Willow!” “Dude, do you want me to throw you out?” Leo glowers at him. He glares at Leo, and then his gaze focuses on me. “I’m not going anywhere without her!” “If anyone who passes by takes a video of you saying you love Willow, how do you think your father would react?” He points at the open door. “I’m leaving, but I will be back. Willow and I didn’t break up, we just rejected each other.” He glances at me before turning and walking toward the door. “You insulted me and then you want to get back together? Your nerve...” I chuckle in dis

  • Professor And The Feisty Human   Chapter 58: Silence

    “I have. I always thought that it was weird. Oh, no!” I cover my eyes with my palms. “I told Asclepius that I was in love with Leo.” “I know,” he says quietly, his poker face revealing nothing. The silence in the room stretches into an eternity, and when I realize that he doesn’t have any intention of saying anything more, my heart races. “You must have thought I was crazy, but there’s no need to feel guilty for not loving me back.” I swallow. “That was before I found out about...” “I know,” his lips presses into a thin line. “I can’t believe you made me come to campus with Asclepius.” I manage a grin, desperate to steer the conversation in a different direction. “You put me through all that when you could’ve just shifted? Wow!” I chuckle nervously. “I’m sorry,” he breathes. Then, silence. “When Professor Malino said she was going to take Asclepius to stay somewhere, where was she going to take you?” “She was going to take me to Clearwater and then I would take a plane

  • Professor And The Feisty Human   Chapter 57: You are scary

    Willow I lean against a wall, the sharp pain returning, prompting me to hold on to my chest. My eyes sting with tears and my knees wobble as if they are carrying the entire planet. I find myself walking slower than a tortoise, the pain getting stronger. “Are you okay?” A distant voice asks, followed by a hand on my shoulder and another one on my elbow. “Let me help you,” the stranger says softly. She places my arm around her shoulder and puts a hand on my waist. We take small steps to my room, the stranger patiently moving as slowly as I go. I hand over the keys to her and she opens the door. She helps me take off my shoes and get into bed. “I’ll call the campus health services. They will get here in less than five minutes.” She takes out her phone. I take a sharp breath and I close my eyes. “No, I’ll be fine. I just need to sleep it off.” “I can’t leave you like this. I’m going to stay for a minute.” “Willow? Willow?” I slightly open my eyes at the sound of a knock on the do

  • Professor And The Feisty Human   Chapter 56: Rejection

    Willow “You managed to protect your little boyfriend?” I shiver as Liam’s warm breath slightly tickles my neck. “I underestimated you.” “I need to turn around. I want to face you,” I try to keep a steady voice. “Anything you want, babe,” he whispers before letting go and taking only two steps back. I turn around to face him, a smile plastered on my face, hoping that he can’t hear my loud heartbeat. I cover the trembling of my voice with a chuckle, “Do you think you've learnt your lesson?” “You think you are now invincible?” He chuckles bitterly. “Let me tell you about Leo, he is acting like he can stand you because he feels sorry for you, and he wants to spite me. Once I’m done with you and out of your life, he will be done, too. He will find a way to get rid of his ridiculous guilt. Leo will never ever get committed to anyone and I feel sorry for you. Ask him if he ever had a girlfriend.” “What do you mean when you say when you are done with me? You don’t own me!” “I can stil
