A lot happen

I immediately agreed and sat next to Cristof.

“Looking forward to being your seatmate,” I said with a smile.

He raised an eyebrow at me, making me look away and quietly sit down.

“Sorry… I can’t look at you,” I said sadly. I noticed him leaning back in his seat.

“Tsk. It’s fine. I don’t care about you anyway,” he said in a cold tone that made my heart ache.

I looked at him and forced a laugh.

“I know, right?”

“Stop faking your smile and laugh. You’re hurting. I can smell your feelings,” he said, which surprised me.

How is that even possible?

“Is that possible?” I whispered, looking down in shock.

He sighed heavily.

“Look at me, Berries.”

I turned to him, confused, and he suddenly grabbed my chin and kissed me softly.

For a reason I couldn’t understand, I kissed him back.

When he pulled away, he gently pinched the tip of my nose.

“I’ll be honest with you… I don’t like the smell of your pain,” he whispered with a soft smile.

Tears suddenly fell down my cheeks. Not from pain… but happiness.

Cristof stared at me seriously and then grinned.

“Berries… you smell too good. Just a little more and I won’t be able to control myself from wanting to claim your whole body.”

His hand touched my cheek.

“Okay, Alpha Cristof. Maybe you forgot that you are in the territory of Ulrika’s Clan.”

I quickly turned to the voice and saw Dad standing beside our professor.

“Dad? What are you doing in our class?” I asked in shock.

He pulled me up and hugged me tightly.

“I missed you, my dear Bam. But I didn’t expect you to find your mate this fast. You’re destined to be the Alpha of our clan. Can you not choose Alpha Cristof? Find someone more worthy, someone who won’t hurt you.”

Cristof immediately stood, glaring.

“I didn’t know Leader Alpha Shumani and Leader Luna Daciana baby their future Alpha this much. Don’t worry, my future parents… I’ll make sure Bam is only mine,” Cristof said with a sly smile, confusing me even more.

“Big words from someone who already made her cry. As the father of the next Alpha of Ulrika’s Clan, I won’t allow you to be my daughter’s mate.” Dad turned away.

“Bam, even if I want you to be a Luna, I don’t want you crying,” he added before leaving with our professor.

Because of that whole scene, our class was pushed to the next period.

The light blue-haired man stretched like he was exhausted.

“Man, that was intense. Thank goodness Berries was here. If not? Cristof, you might’ve lost more than just pride. And now that everyone knows Berries is the next Alpha of Ulrika’s Clan? A lot of guys are gonna chase her. Imagine that… and there’s four of us.”

He winked and walked out.

What is even happening?

What was he talking about?

I turned to Cristof, but he just looked angry.

“Cristof…” I said weakly.

He smirked.

“Don’t try to understand me. Understand yourself.”

Then he left.

I thought we were okay.

Turns out… I was wrong.

I guess the world doesn’t like me very much.

––––––

Some time passed. It was time for our next class.

Cristof returned with his three friends, along with everyone else.

After a few minutes, our next professor entered.

“Good day, class,” he greeted.

We stood up.

“Good day, Vice Lead Alpha Odin Filtiarn.”

“Okay class… sit down,” he said with a smile, taking his seat.

“For today’s topic: The Nervous System. Give me four parts of nerve cells.”

“Alpha Ulrika?” he called.

I stood up.

“Dendrites, cell body, nucleus, axon,” I answered calmly.

He nodded.

“What are their colors and basic functions, Alpha Ulrika?”

My shoulders stiffened.

I took a slow breath.

“Dendrites: blue, they receive input. Cell body: red, contains the nucleus and organelles. Axon: green, conducts impulses away from the cell body.”

I smiled awkwardly.

I didn’t mention the nucleus… because I didn’t know its function.

“How about the nucleus, Alpha Ulrika?” he asked, displeased.

“I’m sorry, sir. I don’t know…” I bowed.

“You mention the cell body but not the nucleus? What nonsense is that? Sit down.”

He sounded annoyed.

I’m here to learn. I’m not perfect.

“Listen, Alpha Ulrika, so you will know. It’s embarrassing to not know, especially when you’re the daughter of the two leaders of the werewolf society,” he continued.

He only looks at me.

Only calls me.

Like I’m the only student here.

“NUCLEUS. Brown. Control center of the cell,” he said loudly.

“Amazing, Alpha Ulrika. You know the cell body but not the nucleus?”

I bit my lip.

Cristof leaned slightly toward me.

“You okay? You don’t smell nice right now,” he whispered, breathing unevenly.

“Alpha Cristof! Why is reflex action important?” Vice Leader Odin demanded.

Cristof stood confidently.

“Because reflex action needs the brain, that’s why it’s important.”

Vice Leader Odin nodded, impressed.

Sure. Forget the fact I answered three parts correctly.

Suddenly I’m the dumb one.

Why is he so unfair?

Whatever. He’s not my favorite professor anyway.
