Chapter Twenty One - Better than Expected

When Cassandra arrived at the doors to Noah’s dorm, she was met by a line of stoic guards, united in their desire to not allow her entry into the ranked wolves' quarters.“Do you even know who I am?” She demanded imperiously as they snickered amongst themselves and looked down their noses at this tiny female, bereft of any wolf that confronted them so brazenly.“No, we don’t,” The largest among them drawled, “because you have no wolf and no rank. The only way we would ever know who you were is if you caused enough issues to register on our radar, or if you were mated to a high-ranking male.”“Which you aren’t.” A second guard pointed out casually.“And probably won’t ever be considering you ain’t even got a wolf inside of you darlin’,” a third added in a bored tone, almost as if he were speaking to a child.Cassandra seethed silently and inwardly promised herself that as soon as she had the power, she would make sure that these idiots were added to her blacklist of those that would b

Chapter Twenty Two - The Confrontation

Cassandra winced as the lock clicked and she pushed the handle down, opening the door as slowly as she could so as not to make any noise. She could feel Noah’s barely suppressed Alpha aura practically crushing her from behind. Despite the lack of her own wolf, she could feel the panic running rampant in her chest, slowly suffocating her and making it difficult to think coherently.It had taken Noah’s guards far too long to calm him down and initially, she had been bothered that she would miss her opportunity, but her fears were unfounded because as soon as they stepped foot on the landing outside Lucy’s room, Noah’s wolf had picked up Theo’s scent.He had barely managed to restrain his wolf from surging forwards and tearing his way through the door, and the guards that waited in the stairwell at his command had watched on anxiously, waiting to find out if they needed to intervene or not.Cassandra poked her head through the crack of the door cautiously and felt a stab of satisfaction

Chapter Twenty Three - It Was Her

Lucy stared uncertainly at the motionless figure of Noah as he stood on the other side of the bed with his fists balled at his side, his wolf’s furious aura still present, but vastly diminished and seemingly directed elsewhere.“Noah…” She said, her voice shaking slightly and without much of a plan of what else she intended to say.“Don’t, Lucy.” He answered tightly, holding a hand up in front of him, “I can’t even look at you right now. This is too much…”Lucy stiffened slightly and she wanted to scream at him that he was out of order and that what she did in her own time was none of his business as they were no longer an item, but the knowledge of what he would do to Theo if he even thought that Lucy felt even a fraction more than friendship for him, stopped her from saying anything further.“What I want to know is why the fuck he came here tonight,” Maia snarled furiously, “We were sleeping. He had no business letting himself in here without our consent.”“I know, Maia. Maybe it wa

Chapter Twenty Four - I Don't Know You Anymore

The following morning Lucy woke in a cold sweat. Her dreams had been filled with memories of Noah and her but they had been warped and twisted beyond all recognition. Their interactions in the past had always been memorable and he had doted on her, but now, in her dreams, Cassandra stood at his side in all of them, attached to his arm like a leech. “It’s just a dream, Lucy. We’re fine. She can’t change the things that have already happened.” Maia soothed as Lucy willed her racing heart to slow to a more reasonable pace.“I know,” She sighed as she glanced at the bedside clock and let out a strangled noise, “Fuck! It’s nine already? Shit…I don’t even know what classes I have anymore.”“Before you do anything, you should really take a shower…” Maia grimaced as she wrinkled her nose, "I didn't think night sweats were a thing at this age."“Yeah yeah, I’m on it,” Lucy grumbled, as she threw off the covers and hurried into her bathroom, diving headfirst into the shower.Once she was done,

Chapter Twenty Five - Tell Me What You Need

As soon as the lecture had finished Lucy packed her things away as quickly as she could and made a swift exit, pretending that she hadn’t seen Cassandra waving frantically to her as she left, or heard her shouting her name over the ruckus of the hall emptying of students.She could feel Noah’s eyes on her back as she pushed through the crowded hallways and made her way down the halls, bursting through the doors and out into the courtyard beyond.“Lucy…” Maia murmured in concern.“I’m fine, I just..I just need some air.” she muttered back as she moved as far away from the crowd of students as she could.After making sure she was out of sight, she sank to the ground with her back against a tree, sucking in lungfuls of the sweet air that her lungs so desperately craved.“What happened? Lucy, what’s going on?”“ I don’t know. I felt like I was suffocating in there and I just needed to get out.” She sighed as she rested her head on her arm.They sat in silence as she stared at the students

Chapter Twenty Six - Can You Help Me Or Not?

Theo sat opposite Lucy and watched with amusement as she demolished the sandwich that he had brought her only a few minutes previously. He raised an eyebrow and smirked as she looked up at him and scowled.“It’s rude to stare you know,” she mumbled as she pushed her plate to the side, with Maia purring contentedly inside of her.“Well, sometimes, you know, I can’t help it.” He grinned as he picked a napkin up off the table and quickly leaned over, wiping the spot of sauce away that she had missed above her top lip, and smirking as he sat back.Lucy could feel herself blushing furiously with embarrassment under his smoldering gaze that seemed to burn into her and touch her in a place that she would rather not think about in the middle of a bustling cafe.She cleared her throat and reached for her drink, surreptitiously wiping at the spot that Theo had touched only moments earlier.“So, about this little task,” Lucy began, a little flustered as he cut her off with a little chuckle.“I’m

Chapter Twenty Seven - What if it's a trap?

The last lecture that Lucy attended seemed to be over far too quickly. Even though she had covered all of the course material in her previous life, she got on particularly well with the female professor that took the class for Community and Pack Unity, and this time around, Lucy wasn’t just a silent bystander.The former Luna that took the class seemed particularly impressed by her knowledge of exactly how the New Moon and Full Moon pack runs helped to increase the sense of unity within a pack and Lucy felt that little prick of self satisfaction at the acknowledgement of her apparent grasp of the topic.She left the lecture with a smile on her face and having nothing else to do between now and her final lecture for the day, she made her way back to her dorm.“Still nothing from Theo?” Maia asked worriedly.“No, but it's only been a few hours. Relax. Save your energy. We have training to finish the day with.” Lucy grimaced as Maia pranced about excitedly in her head.“YES! Oh, I can’t

Chapter Twenty Eight - Teaching a Valuable Lesson

After refilling the water bottle that she kept in her bag, and throwing a couple of snack bars in for after training, Lucy locked her apartment back up and headed over to the gym. It wasn’t too far from where she had emerged in the lake only a day prior and the thought of her abrupt rebirth and the circumstances surrounding it still gave her shivers.She changed quickly in the changing room, pulling her leggings and sports bra on quickly, followed by a large, oversized white t-shirt pulled over her head. She grimaced as Noah’s scent suddenly surrounded her and she remembered a little too late that he had always insisted that she use his shirts during gym.He hated the fact that the unmated males frequently took their places on the machines or on the benches around the room whenever the female gym sessions were scheduled. Lucy had tried to explain that the gym sessions were often shared by both males and females, but they usually kept to the opposite sides of the gyms, but Noah had arg

Chapter Twenty-Nine - The Investigation

Lucy threw Theo a quick text message as soon as she had showered and only seconds later her phone pinged with a message alert.‘I’m done for today. Meet me at the coffee shop when you’re finished at the Gym, I’ll grab you some food.’Lucy grinned to herself and finished changing into her clean clothes as quickly as she could, stuffing her kit back into her bag haphazardly before sprinting for the door.“I really hope he’s found something that we can use,” Maia murmured as Lucy slowed her pace so as not to draw attention to themselves.The last thing she wanted was for Cassandra or Noah to see her in a hurry and arouse their suspicions.As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Theo waiting for her outside the shop with a bag clutched tightly in one hand as he waved at her with the other and began to make his way over to her.“Hey. Do you want to go somewhere a little less…public?” Theo asked as he pulled her into a quick hug.“You don’t want to eat here?” Lucy asked with a frown.

Chapter Thirty - Breaking And Entering

Theo and Lucy headed back to their own apartments to drop their things off after they had finished at the riverside and arranged to meet again just before midnight.As soon as she was home, Lucy busied herself with organizing her notes and her planner and readied her school bag for the next day so that she wouldn’t be rushing around in the morning.Before she knew it, it was almost time to head out and meet Theo.“You should probably change into something darker if you don’t want to be noticed. It’s almost midnight,” Maia suggested.Lucy nodded and changed quickly, throwing a short text to Theo as she pulled her leggings up and slipped her shoes on.By the time she arrived at the park close to the school's administration center, Theo was already there and dressed similarly to Lucy. He handed her a plain black baseball hat and a black face cover with a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth.“You better put these on, just in case they have cameras up in there. It would be better if
