I promise, offering her another thankful smile before turning and heading towards the door. As I step out into the hallway, the air feels a little lighter, the weight of that looming conversation finally behind me. Still, I can’t help the dry laugh that escapes me as I walk back towards the lecture hall. Alpha Drake Marshall gets what Alpha Drake Marshall wants. I push open the door to my lecture hall, the scent of chalk and old paper meeting me like an old friend. The lights flicker on above as I make my way to the front, dropping my bag beside the podium and flipping open my laptop. The projector hums to life, casting the first slide onto the screen behind me, an intricate illustration of

Then looked at the father sitting in front of him "Yeah, I think it's just him. But, I haven't asked Alice and Logan this yet. They're still resting, and I'll ask them later!" Xander re-opened the last page of the brown-bound book, it had been a long time since Xander had found something like the one he was reading now. History books wrapped in fantasy stories really won't make him feel bored if he has to repeat to read the book. Mr.Erick closed his eyes, if Sebastian just said that, magic must be really so powerful.

Harper POV The lecture hall smells like coffee, chalk dust, and too many lives moving forward without hesitation. My notebook is open in front of me, but the lines blur. Professor Keene is talking about demand elasticity — a concept I normally love — but today it may as well be ocean noise. Because all morning, all night, one text sits like a live wire in my chest. Maybe I like when you come find me. I hate how my skin reacted to that. I hate how my breath caught.

I look at the overhang, which is wide enough for two people who are not standing unnecessarily close. “Ten minutes,” I say. We stand under the overhang and wait out the rain. It is not comfortable exactly. But it is not unbearable either. He doesn’t fill the silence with noise. He looks at the rain and I look at my pages and I try to flatten the damp corner of the top sheet with my thumb. After four minutes he says, “The lecture was good.” “Yes.” “The part about emotional residue.” “I underlined it.” “So did I.” We don’t say anything else for a while.

I forced my attention to the front of the hall as the lecturer entered, the drone of his voice a temporary escape from the internal turmoil. The lecture went on but didn't stop the loose ends of those who chattered at the back. Nico had somehow found a way to sit behind me, making me lose concentration to all the lecturer was spewing out. Nico sighed deeply "This lecture is a snoozefest. Do you guys even understand half of what he was talking about?" "Not a chance. My mind was lost somewhere between the fourth equation and my next coffee break." Thomas chuckled. "Mine too," the other voice spoke. I guessed it to be Richard. "Hey isn't that Ella?"

"I have to be honest, Sandra. Professor Harrison's lectures on cellular biology leave a lot to be desired. It's like trying to decipher hieroglyphics without a Rosetta Stone. I struggle to stay engaged." I sympathized with his sentiment, my eyes reflecting a shared frustration. "I understand what you mean. For me, it's Dr. Bennett and his disorganized approach to ecology. It's like he's trying to navigate a labyrinth without a map. I often find myself lost in a sea of fragmented concepts." Our conversation took on a dynamic rhythm as we exchanged tales of inspiring educators and lecturers whose teaching styles left us longing for more. We discussed our strategies for staying motivated and ov

But thanks to my mentor and seniors teaching me patiently, I was able to find my footing and stand on my own. From then on, my days were busy and rich. Every so often, I would get letters and gifts from Samson, including a watch identical to the one that Celia broke. I sent everything back, unopened. A decade later, during an emergency operation, I happened to spot him across a crowded room. By then, we were both standing on the spot where we belonged, living our own dreams. Our paths were different, but we were each moving toward a brighter future.

I swear! When he began his first lecture, the room fell into a trance. He wasn’t just talking about poetry; he was performing it. His hands moved gracefully as he gestured, his words weaving through metaphors like a magician pulling rabbits out of a hat. I could see why everyone was so captivated. Everyone except me. The last thing I recall was him stating something about Shakespeare’s sonnets. The warmth of the classroom and the steady rhythm of his voice made my eyelids drowsy.

At my wife's birthday party, my daughter and son accidentally knocked over a bowl of soup and splashed it on their uncle. My wife grabbed his completely unharmed hand and tore into both children. But that still wasn't enough for her, so she locked the two of them inside the sauna. I called and begged her, again and again, to spare our kids. Her voice was ice cold. "Stop bothering me! This is your fault for raising them so badly! "Since they burned someone, they can sit in there and think hard about what they did!" The thermometer kept climbing. Blisters had already risen on my children's skin, and they wailed without stopping. I begged her to forgive them like a man gone mad. "They're
