Chapter 4

Leon's POV

Next morning

I opened my eyes and looked around. I was still in my room or should I say apartment. I was exhausted, confused, and scared as hell.

After what I saw last night, I was hoping it was just a dream and that I would wake up this morning and somehow find out it was all a dream, or I was in a coma or something, but it was all real.

Although the coma option was still on the table. I heard people sometimes had vivid experiences while in comas and so I was hoping that was what this was.

I had seen something so impossible, something so fantastical that I was actively trying to get myself to believe it was real and I was actively failing.

It was crazy.

It was impossible.

Scientifically.

I wasn’t a science major, but even I knew that.

I watched a human being break and tear themselves until they turned into a wolf right in front of me.

It still sounded crazy when I said it out loud or even thought of it.

How was that possible?

I would have said it was fake if I hadn’t stood there and watched Kai strip and then shift into a werewolf.

Now I understood why it was called shifting.

Shit, it was scary.

They had done it to convince me, and now I wished I had just believed them without having to see that.

It was painful even for me and I wasn’t the one breaking and healing just to become a wolf.

They all tried to convince me that it didn’t hurt. It was just like cracking your muscles, but from the look of it to me, it looked like it hurt like hell.

The shifter world had been explained to me pretty well.

It was unbelievable.

I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it.

I guess that was why they had to do it.

This was another realm.

They couldn’t give me a very detailed explanation, but this was a realm like the human realm. There were multiple realms layered on top of each other.

The shifter realm was the one directly beside the human world.

A lot of the realms kept to themselves and never interacted with others.

This was the wolf shifter continent. There were other shifters, but they also preferred to keep to themselves.

They were in pretty small amounts too. The wolf shifters were the largest group.

According to them, I was a wolf omega.

This was all very insane.

I stood up from my bed and picked up my class schedule.

I apparently had a class this morning and then I had to go meet up with the professor assigned to me.

We’d then discuss my schedule and everything, and if I was going to be able to graduate on schedule.

Apparently, I was transferred here and moved to senior year. It was just the beginning of a school session here while back at home, I had already almost finished my senior year.

It wasn’t bad though.

So most of my college work still stood and I just had to complete them.

The only thing that was stopping me was shifter-related courses. So if I could get that together I could graduate this year, just a little later than my peers.

I took a shower and had an energy drink for breakfast.

I had nothing in my kitchen and I didn’t want to have to go to the cafeteria and deal with people seeing me.

I was going to meet up with Kai and everyone else after my one class.

I still planned on escaping this place. I didn’t care if I was a shifter or not, but for now, I had to get as much information as I could.

I dressed up in the only clothes available to me.

It was apparently a gift from the school.

It was alright.

It was a dress shirt and some pants.

They also got me some shoes. They also gave me back everything I had with me, even my phone.

When I tried to call Reginald I couldn’t because the number didn’t exist in this realm. I had no network. The phone couldn’t work.

I picked up an apple from the fruit basket on the table that had been left in my room and made my way out of my mini apartment.

This couldn’t be classed as a room. Especially when it had a kitchen.

It was definitely a studio.

I had a fully functioning kitchen with a fridge, an oven, a burner, everything a mini kitchen needed and then a toilet with a bath and a shower.

The room itself was pretty spacious too with a queen-sized bed.

It looked good. It was better than any dorm I knew.

I got in the elevator and pressed the button for the ground floor.

I made my way down and got out.

I had a map in hand. The building wasn’t hard to find as the university grounds were pretty easy to navigate.

I hadn’t been given a phone yet.

Everyone else had one, so I figured maybe this realm had a network or line that was different since we were in another world.

I found the class pretty soon thanks to the map and made my way inside.

It was a freshman class and so I didn’t have to worry about anyone questioning why I was there.

I slid into a seat that was available and waited for the lecturer to come in.

I had a pen and notebook I had also gotten from my room.

Everyone else too had that.

Were phones not allowed in this class?

“Omg I can’t believe he’s the one teaching today,” someone whispered.

“Yeah I can’t. I picked this university just so I could see him,” another person whispered.

Were they talking about the lecturer who was supposed to teach this class?

Just how popular was he?

People were whispering all around me and they were all talking about him.

I buried my face in my palm and the whispers stopped.

“He’s here,” someone else whispered and I raised my head to look at the famous teacher who everyone seemed to love and I froze.

“You,” I blurted out before I could stop myself and everyone turned to look at me.

I immediately pretended to sneeze.

What was he doing here?

What was he doing in here?

Was he a shifter too?

Of course he was, he was a professor here.

Apparently one of the best and the most handsome.

They were right about that.

I had so many questions.

I almost hooked up with him before. Not to mention he was there. At my mother’s funeral.

I had so many questions.

I just kept staring at him all through the class. I couldn’t even listen to him because my mind was racing with questions.

I didn’t even realize the class had ended.

As I began to make my way out, someone called my name.

“Leon, can you stay behind? I want to speak with you,” his voice rang and I froze.

I stood there as everyone made their way out of the class until it was just the two of us left.

“Do you often go around kissing your students, Professor Alister?” I asked and he winced.

“I deserve that, but can you at least let me explain?” he asked and I raised a brow.

“Sure, go ahead.”
