***Ryan nodded and relaxed even more against the wolf. He could remain that way till the next day, he thought.‘Nothing is stopping you.’ Jeremy’s wolf responded amused. ‘But you might want to sleep in the comfort of a bed seeing as you have to be rested for lectures tomorrow.’Ryan groaned. ‘I totally forgot. I have a lecture as early as seven in the morning.’‘Couldn’t you have waited till Monday?’ Jeremy’s wolf asked dryly. ‘Who resumes work on a Friday?’Ryan chuckled. ‘Tomorrow, I’m only going to give them the main areas to concentrate on for the rest of the semester since we’ve already wasted so much time, thanks to me. Serious work will begin on Monday.’ He explained. ‘I just hope all that has happened in the past weeks will not get me distracted when I finally stand in front of my class.’ He said wistfully.‘You’ll be fine. You’re a pro. Nothing can distract you from doing what you love.’‘Let’s hope so.’ Ryan sighed, running his fingers through the alpha’s fur.‘Shift.’ Ryan
***When Philip entered his alpha’s suite the next morning, it was to find the huge red wolf and the stunningly, beautiful, white wolf, cuddled cozily together right there on the plush rug in the suite…fast asleep. The head Beta quickly pulled out his cell phone from his pocket and took a shot of the pair with a shit-eating grin on his face. He immediately sent it to Stan who whistled so wolfishly over the link the three of them shared, Jeremy opened his eyes.‘Really?’ Jeremy drawled as he took in the sight of his Beta grinning mischievously at his cell phone. He couldn’t believe his silly wolf had put him to sleep for that long. When he heard his wolf in his mind saying he needed the rest, he gave a soft growl. ‘What time is it, Lip?’ He didn’t move a muscle as he didn’t want to disturb Ryan.‘It’s almost six.’ Philip responded, folding his arms across his chest and grinning like a simpleton.‘Shit.’ Jeremy growled. ‘He’ll be late. I need to wake…’‘Wait wait…’ Philip gushed. ‘Did y
***Ryan came awake to delicious wetness on his face. He opened his eyes and saw a huge wolf licking his face. Jeremy. Ryan came wide awake and giggle through their link.‘Isn’t it too early to be awake?’ He purred, enjoying the feel of that amazing tongue on his coat.‘It’s actually late prof.’ Jeremy nibbled under Ryan’s neck. ‘You’ll be late for lectures if you don’t get ready now.’‘Oh snap.’ Ryan groaned as he jumped up and stretched.‘Hey, don’t forget our plan to go for a run.’ Jeremy said nuzzling Ryan’s neck, breathing in his well-loved scent.‘It’s a date.’ Ryan said and promptly grimaced. To think his first date was going to be as a wolf.‘We can always go on a real human date.’ Jeremy said softly.Ryan guffawed. ‘You really think Goody Two…’ Ryan trailed off, remembering that his human was no longer sleeping. The two wolves burst into laughter to the annoyance of Ryan’s human and amusement of Jeremy’s. Though they were both awake, they’d remained silent throughout the exch
***Jeremy watched his mate do what he loved to do best and felt so much admiration for the man. Ryan looked so good in a black shirt with no tie, black slacks, and a black blazer. The contrast between the all-black attire against his creamy skin and white hair was simply stunning. He’d noticed the exact moment Ryan had looked around trying to spot the York boy. He’d also felt Ryan’s relief when he didn’t see the boy. Well, he wasn’t going to see that boy anytime soon. On one of Stan’s visits to Ryan whilst he was in the hospital with his injury, he’d managed to get the name of the boy who had gotten him to come to the Stanton Woods. But unfortunately, by the time they’d gotten to the boy, he’d already spread the rumour of a possible murder of his professor, by werewolves.In as much as Jeremy had been pissed off at the fact that the boy knew about them…thanks to his hunter grandfather, he’d been grateful that the boy had led his mate to him. So although his sorcerer had worked her ma
***“May I know exactly why you feel it’s necessary to follow me around at my workplace?” Ryan shrugged out of his blazer. “Vincent is already here.”Vincent was the werewolf who had been assigned to Ryan as his bodyguard. He went with Ryan anytime he had to go to his apartment. Ryan had protested that morning when Jeremy had insisted that Vincent accompany him to school. After a lengthy argument, Jeremy had promised to stop Vincent immediately he was convinced Ryan could defend himself in an attack. Grudgingly relenting, Ryan had left home with the nice man…werewolf. He did enjoy Vincent’s company anyway so it wasn’t so bad.“I just want to.” Jeremy still had his back to Ryan.“Jeremy!” Ryan groaned, taking a seat at the edge of his desk. “If you have any respect for me at all, you’ll be truthful with me at all times. I’m not dumb you know.”“I respect you, Ryan.” Jeremy turned to face his mate.“Really? And you expect me to swallow that bullshit?” He combed his fingers through his h
***Ryan heard the door to the washroom open just as he opened the tap to wash his hands. He turned his head to see which other lecturer was free like he was at that time of day and smiled in surprise when he saw a pretty curvy blonde in sportswear.“You’ve got the wrong washroom, Miss,” Ryan said with a chuckle.“Wanna bet?” Sporty lady purred as she turned around to face the door. She recited some words and then turned around to fix a predatory gaze on Ryan. “Professor Ryan Hicks.” She purred, slowly advancing towards Ryan as if she had all the time in the world.“Do I know you?” Ryan asked with a curious frown. Something was off about the lady.“I haven’t had the displeasure.” She drawled. “So you’re the so-called mate huh? I can smell him all over you.” She smirked.Oh, God! Ryan felt his stomach quiver and the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. Although he couldn’t smell her, he would have bet his last cent she was a werewolf. And from the disdain in her eyes, one of Jeremy’
***Ryan heard the door crash open and looked up gratefully. But when he saw his mate, a gasp of terror tore out of his throat as his pulse raced with foreboding. No! He would pick the vicious Camille over a red-eyed Jeremy any day.Camille stumbled backward, barely catching herself with a hand against the wall. The raw power emanating from the alpha left not only Camille but even Ryan completely weak from trepidation.“Jeremy…” Camille breathed, her eyes wide with fear.The red-eyed alpha stretched out an arm and opened his palm. Both Ryan and Camille gasped at the purplish fireball that appeared in that palm. They didn’t have to be geniuses to know where that fireball was going to land in the next few seconds. The direction of the murderous red eyes said it all. Camille’s eyes were filled with terror. She knew her end had come. Even Vincent shook with fear.“Jeremy, don’t!” Ryan screamed.Ryan watched as Jeremy slowly turned his eyes on him. A whimper tore out of his throat as he st
***“How are you going to fix it?” Ryan asked quietly, stepping out of Jeremy’s arms. Ideally, he would have handed Jeremy his arse for taking away his will and almost getting him killed by none other than his lover. But he didn’t want the man to feel any shittier than he already did so he curbed that urge.“Same way he got you to see the pack as untouchables.” Philip rasped. “Come on Prof. We have to get you home.”“I’m not going, Philip,” Ryan said stiffly as he looked down at his tattered shirt. “I just need a shirt.”“Jeremy?” Philip virtually growled, waiting for the alpha to back him up. “A little help…”Jeremy looked torn between his Beta who was clearly exasperated and his adamant mate. But in the end, safety for his mate reigned high.“Ryan please…” Jeremy sighed.“No. It’s just an hour lec…”“You’re not safe here,” Philip growled with clenched fists. “Anyone can attack again. And again you’ll be a sitting duck. Jeremy needs to take care of that immediately.”Since Jeremy had
