One Night With My Alpha Professor by Eve Above Story

Chapter 150 Audrey

Climbing up on a nearby ladder, I pulled the thick, worn book from the shelf. Its golden spine glinted in the dim library light, and I turned it over in my hands as I came back down.

"It's a text on pack birth records," I said, glancing up at Edwin as strode back over to him. I handed it to him. "Think it could be useful?"

Edwin studied the cover, then shrugged. "At the very least, it might have some information that could help you figure out your lineage.

I suppressed a shiver at the thought. It seemed silly, this idea that I might be the same creature from legend. But Edwin looked serious enough that I didn't question him.

Over the next few hours, we pored over that book and others, soon covering a table with open books and scrolls on the third floor of that library. Eventually, my eyes grew too bleary to keep reading, and I moaned that I needed a break.

We checked out the birth record book, which I had only gotten a quarter of the way through since it was so thick, then headed back to Edwin's apartment.

Edwin stayed true to his word about a big dinner, while I pored over birth records at the kitchen table, he prepared two heaping portions of saucy pasta, bread from the bakery across the street, and roast chicken.

We settled cross-legged on the floor around the coffee table, books spread out all around us. Edwin put on a record, the soft strains of a violin filling the quiet space.

"I could live like this forever," I murmured, taking a bite of the pasta he'd made.

I felt my cheeks flush with warmth at the implication. Forever with my mate, just like this... it sounded perfect.

Finally, long after we had washed the dishes and curled up on the couch beneath a fuzzy blanket, I got to the modern births section of the book. My eyes widened as I spotted a familiar name. "Look," I said suddenly, sitting up and thrusting the book into Edwin's half-asleep face. I pointed to the page. "Fiona's birth
