One Night With My Alpha Professor by Eve Above Story

Chapter 149 Audrey

A little while later, Edwin and I stepped out into the crisp autumn air, hand-in-hand. I was dressed in a warm sweater dress, tights, and boots-an outfit that Charles had somehow managed to pick out perfectly from my dorm room, along with a bag of other things to last me another night at Edwin's apartment.

He had placed the bag outside Edwin's apartment door without so much as knocking, and Edwin had remarked with a smirk how Charles was a smart man for not trying to intrude on a mans alone time with his

new mate.

We had, after all, been tangled up together on the couch-we couldn't keep our hands off of each other.

"I have to say, Charles has good taste," I remarked, smoothing down the front of the dress.

Edwin chuckled, his thumb tracing circles on the back of my hand. "He's had years of practice shopping for my sister whenever she visits. I'm glad he can put it to good use now."

At the mention of his sister, I c**ed my head up at him. "When can I meet her?" I asked.

"Whenever you want. Although, I should warn you, she's a bit of a nutjob."

"More so than you?"

Edwin snorted at that.

It felt strange, walking through town like this together. This was the first time we had been out in public together, not hiding or pretending to be nothing more than student and professor. Edwin must have sensed my unease through our bond because he squeezed my hand gently. "We can take it slow in public if you're not comfortable yet," he said softly.

I shook my head, looking up at him. "No, I want this. I want to touch you, to be with you. I've been waiting for this moment for months"

A smile spread across Edwin's face, warming his usually stern features. He looped his arm around my waist, tugging me close to his side as we walked. "Then let's show everyone," he said, pressing his lips to mine and slipping his tongue into my mouth right in front of a group of women walking into a yoga studio, who stared slack-jawed at the sight.

We entered the restaurant he'd mentioned earlier, the bell above the door jingling as we stepped inside. The hostess's eyes widened slightly when she saw us together, but she quickly composed herself and led us to a booth.

As we settled in, Edwin gestured to the menu. "Order whatever you want. As much as you want,"

I hadn't realized how hungry 1 was until I started looking at the options. Not just hungry, but.. starving. It felt as if I hadn't eaten in days. My stomach growled loudly as if on cue, and I felt my cheeks flush with embarrassment.

Edwin laughed. "Don't be shy. As a new werewolf, your body is still changing and metabolizing. You'll need a lot more food than you're used to-almost like a growing teen going through puberty." Encouraged, I ordered a stack of pancakes, eggs, bacon, and a side of fruit. And then a side of toast for good measure, and a coffer. Edwin nodded approvingly and ordered a similar spread for himself. As we waited for our food, I couldn't help but ask, "How much more will my body change?"

Edwin took a sip of his coffee before answering. "Over the next few months, you might find yourself growing more muscles. becoming leaner, maybe even a little taller. You might also develop some special abilities, if you have any. You'll also shift for the first time, when you're ready"
