All Chapters of The Alpha’s college Mate : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Lucan's POV “What are you doing here?” I asked Clara.She spun around so fast that strands of her hair brushed my face, then exhaled hard. “Oh my God, you scared me. I thought…” After another quick glance out the window she shook her head. “Nothing. I am just glad it is you.”“Are you okay?” I asked, noticing the fine hairs on her arms standing on end. I took her hand and brushed my thumb over the pulse at her wrist, feeling how rapidly it raced. “You should not be up so soon. Your body needs time to recover.”Clara furrowed her brows, then looked back out the window at my pack members gathered on the lawn below. When she turned to me again her eyes were full of confusion. “Is… is Jasmine a wolf too? Levi?”Jasmine and Levi stood together on the grass, shoving each other and arguing. I still did not understand why I had asked them both to watch Clara; they had never gotten along well, even when they were young pups.“Yes.”“And you are the…”“The alpha.”Clara swallowed and began wal

Lucan's POV The exam should have taken every student at least forty-five minutes. Yet Clara stood thirty minutes into the class with every answer filled in and notes scrawled across her test. She handed me the papers without meeting my eyes. I took them tightly, wanting to order her to sit back down and check her work again. She might have been skilled at mythology, but she had not looked focused since returning from the bathroom. Our mind link had not formed yet, so I could not sense what troubled her or know whether I was being too controlling. “Clara,” I said quietly as she released the paper. She glanced up at me for only a second, then turned and hurried down the aisle toward the auditorium exit. I clenched my other fist behind my back, hating how she ignored my order to stay with Jasmine and Levi at all times. I wanted to chase after her, seize the back of her neck, and plant her on the desk in front of me. But that would be far too obvious to the humans present. When the

Lucan's POV Clara walked into class on Wednesday holding the exam she had scored seventy percent on, the paper crumpled in one hand and her brows drawn together in an annoyed glare. After I returned it to her yesterday she had barely spoken to me after class. Last night I had fucked that pissed expression right off her face, yet now it was back.Still, Clara needed to learn one way or another. I would not go easy on her simply because she was my mate. Memorizing and understanding classics might have been difficult for some, but Clara had to know this material. She was my mate, and some of these stories were not mere fables. They were real history.She sat in her usual seat, crossed her arms, and stared at me with those full pink lips pressed together. While Clara was normally a straight-A, well-behaved student, today she pulled out her phone, set it on her desk, and opened an app, all while giving me a dirty look as if she wanted to test me after everything that had happened this pas

Lucan's POV When I pulled out of Clara, she collapsed onto my desk, swollen lips parted and eyes glazed with lust. Some of her textbooks shifted, revealing the mythology book I had loved as a child.One Alpha.I picked up the book and sat back in my chair, drawing Clara into my lap. She settled on one of my thighs and rested her head against my shoulder, her quick, raspy breaths still uneven. After a few moments she widened her eyes and stared at the book.“Oh, ha-ha. I totally was not reading this while studying,” she stuttered.“Where did you find this?” I asked.Clara might have thought I was angry that she had been reading this instead of her textbook, but part of me felt… pleased. Even if she had not earned an A on the exam, she was trying to learn more about my culture. She had barely met the pack officially, yet she still wanted to understand.“Your mom said you loved this book as a kid,” she said.“My mom? When did you meet her?”Clara smiled softly. “The other day in the lib

Lucan's POV Clara nervously backed away from Draven and me, her eyes wide with fear. I shifted into my human form and coughed up blood, struggling to catch my breath after Clara had nearly choked the life out of both of us. Draven shifted beside me, and though I still wanted to tear him apart, I could not risk it while Clara stood only a few feet away.I would not put her in greater danger. I had ordered Levi to protect her.Once I managed to breathe again, I glanced over my shoulder at Levi. He was doubled over, clutching an open wound in his shoulder that had not yet healed. I clenched my jaw, shot a glare at Draven, then stood and pulled Clara behind me.“Lucan…” she whispered, her hands trembling. “Is that supposed to happen?”“You are turning into a wolf, Clara,” I said, careful to keep my voice steady.She might have nearly choked Draven and me unconscious, but Clara was still so innocent, still so fragile. She did not yet understand the first thing about how her body would tra
