Alexis's PerspectiveI won't let anyone walk all over me."All right, Mr. Blake, how can I help you?" I asked, keeping a smile on my face, even though the dean's strange gaze still lingered in my mind."You're having fun at this human university, aren't you?" he said. His eyes sparkled as if he was genuinely enjoying this conversation, causing me to tilt my head and look at him more closely.Was he mocking me, or was he actually complimenting me?"Yes," I replied finally. "They treat me much better than my own kind. And I really don't understand why I shouldn't enjoy the courtesy and attention I receive here. Things that my own people should have given me from the start."I paused for a moment, then looked at him more sharply."So, yes. I'm having fun at this human university. And I think you should thank your Alpha for sponsoring this university. Otherwise, you might never have found this place when you were at your lowest and most desperate."I myself didn’t know where that confiden

Alexis's point of view."Can you untie me?" The man sitting in the chair in front of me said calmly, making me look at him awkwardly.I knew I had made a huge mistake. I hit him with a stick, then tied him to the chair like that. But... is it safe to untie him now?What if he really tries to hurt me? What if he attacks me as soon as I free him?What if he gets angry and takes it all out on me after the ropes are untied?What if he's the vengeful type?“Alexis, dear.” Ariana’s voice was firm yet gentle. “You were wrong to attack him and tie up that child. Now what? Are you going to leave him like this forever? He came here just to help you clean the house. And how did you repay him? By hitting him. Give him some rest and check if he’s hurt.”I fell silent. Ariana's words made sense, and after thinking it through, I knew she was right.I took a deep breath, while Mark was still laughing on the other end of the line, I looked at the man one more time before finally releasing the restrain

Alexis's point of view."Alright, I give up, okay? You're really annoying, seriously," Eric finally said before jumping into the water, after I didn't give up chasing him for a full twenty minutes without stopping.“Good boy,” I said, barely able to hold back my laughter, leaving him in the water while Shane, Audrey, and I walked toward the campfire.“You just got here a few minutes ago and you’re already wet, Alexis? That’s not the sight I was expecting from you,” Matt commented, making me shake my head.He and his sarcastic sense of humor were driving me crazy. Good thing he was just my friend. Otherwise, I might have punched him in the face right then and there.“Shut up, Matt,” Shane said with a laugh. “You don’t want to mess with her right now. She’s got bodyguards, so guys like you better know your place and leave her alone. Start being nice before her bodyguards kick your ass.”I laughed at that.“What did he say, Alexis? Is that true?” Matt asked dramatically. “Have you been t

Alexis's point of view."Eric, what are you doing?" I whispered, staying seated next to Audrey. I hoped he could hear me with his wolf-like hearing and stop this nonsense before things got even more chaotic.Luckily, he actually heard me in the crowd. In an instant, Eric was standing next to me."Hey, now I know why you like studying at this university," he whispered in my ear. "The people here are way more interesting than the pack."I shook my head slowly. "I'm glad you finally understand why I chose to study here, but that doesn't answer my question at all. What are you doing here? As far as I know, Mark never said you needed to protect me at university. Especially in a place where members of the world's strongest wolf pack work as professors," I said through clenched teeth. "And I should add, your presence will only ruin my cover."Eric's eyes widened. "Are you serious? They went that far just to find out more about you? What else are you hiding, Alexis?"I was about to answer, bu

Alexis's Perspective"What are you doing, Blake?" I couldn't help but ask as he approached me with that seductive, sexy gaze. I had a feeling what he was trying to do, but I still hoped it wasn't what I thought.Before he pushed me further onto the sofa where I had fallen, he asked, "What do you think I'm going to do, Alexis?"When I saw him take off his shirt, revealing his sexy abs, I screamed, "I'm not in the mood to play around, Blake. I'm serious. What are you... Wait! ... Why are you... Please put your shirt back on!"Honestly, I liked seeing his sexy, tempting abs, but I still felt embarrassed and knew this probably wasn't a good idea."How am I supposed to wear this wet shirt, Alexis? Can't you see I'm soaked from the rain?" Blake asked, making me nod."I'm soaking wet too, Blake. But that doesn't mean I have to take my clothes off in front of you. Be polite, okay?" I said, shaking my head."I never forbade you from doing that. You can always take your clothes off if you feel
