One Night With My Alpha Professor by Eve Above Story

Chapter 173

Third Person

Edwin's fists connected with the punching bag in a steady, easy, Emiliar rhythm.

The satisfying thud of each impact reverberated through the quiet training room, drowning out the world beyond. At twenty years old, he was in his prime, his body honed to perfection through years of dedicated training.

Sweat glistened on his tanned skin under the harsh fluorescent lights, his muscles rippling with each powerful strike. The walls around him were adorned with dozens of medals and trophies, a testament to his skill and dedication.

But Edwin barely noticed them anymore. For him, the true reward was in the fight itself, in pushing his body to its limits.

Boxing wasn't just a sport for Edwin; it was his passion, his escape, his way of proving himself. He would spend hours in this gym, long after others had gone home, always striving to be better, faster, stronger. As he finished his set, his trainer, Mike, pushed away from the wall and tossed him a water bottle. Edwin caught it deftly, twisting off the cap and taking a long drink. Water trickled down his chin and bare chest, cooling his overheated skin.

Wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, Edwin caught sight of his reflection in the mirror. His eyes gleamed an unnatural yellow, a sign of his wolf's excitement. It took a few deliberate blinks to get them back to their normal gray.

His wolf always emerged more when he was in the ring. He loved it, craved it, just as much as Edwin did.

For both of them, it was a release.

"Great work tonight, kid," Mike said, clapping him on one sweaty shoulder. "You ready for tomorrow's fight!"

Edwin nodded, adrenaline still coursing through his veins. He likely wouldn't sleep tonight. "Ready as I'll ever be," he replied with a lopsided, c**y grin.

But this wasn't just any fight. It was a big time fight, the kind of match that people bet serious money on. And what made it even more special-what made Edwin's heart race just thinking about it was that his father would finally be attending.

"Is your old man still coming tomorrow?" Mike asked, as if reading Edwin's thoughts.

Edwin nodded, his expression tightening slightly. "Yeah, he said he would be there. Finally
