One Night With My Alpha Professor by Eve Above Story

Chapter 98 Edwin

The door swung on its hinges in Audrey's wake, leaving me sitting there, stunned and confused.

The sudden silence was deafening, broken only by the soft ticking of the clock on my mantle. I bolted up and crossed over to the window, where I could see her slender form running down the street, her hair streaming behind her like a dark banner in the wind.

"What the hell was that about?" I muttered to myself, pressing my forehead against the cool glass. Audrey disappeared around a corner without so much as a glance over her shoulder she hadn't even taken her art store supplies with her, and her latte and c**n roll sat half-eaten on the coffee table.

"You scared her off, idiot," my wolf growled.

I shook my head, my reflection frowning back at me in the glass "How? I was just curious about her hair. I thought I saw some blonde roots showing through." I said.

Still, her sudden reaction was surprising, really. Blonde hair was all the rage among Audrey's age group, and her status as a human made things difficult enough already. Why would she dye it black, if having blonde hair would have helped her socially?

And, more importantly, why react so strongly to a simple question?

Maybe she likes being different, my wolf suggested. "Maybe it was a reminder that she's not as different as she likes to pretend to be."

I couldn't argue with that. Audrey was certainly... unique.

Still, I couldn't shake the feeling of disappointment that settled in my chest, heavy and uncomfortable. She had left so abruptly, and I couldn't help but wonder if I had done something wrong.

Sighing, I turned around with my hands on my hips. The couch was still indented where she had just been sitting and I could still feel her lips on my neck.

We had come so close to... Well, maybe it was for the best. I'd been losing control around her lately, but if we slept together again, it could cause... problems.

It was then that I caught sight of myself in the mirror hanging by the door. That was when I noticed the uncomfortable tightness in my pants-***n it. Our close proximity earlier had clearly affected me more than I had wanted it to.
