One Night With My Alpha Professor by Eve Above Story

The mirror was clear now, the steam long since dissipated, but the image of that message was burned into my brain.

“Coldclaw awaits you, Silver Wolf…”

“It was right here,” I said, pointing at the glass. “I saw it when I came out of the shower.”

Edwin leaned in close, his brow furrowed as he ran a finger along the mirror. I had called him right away, of course, and he had come running as soon as I had told him what I’d seen. “And you’re absolutely sure you didn’t imagine it?” he asked, turning to me.

I shot him a glare as I slipped my phone out of my sweatpants pocket. “Of course I’m sure. What, you think I would call you over here in the middle of the night for no reason?”

He held up his hands in surrender. “I had to ask. Look, just show me the picture again.”

With a huff, I tapped on the screen a few times and showed him the photo I had managed to snap before the steam had faded away completely. The writing had already begun to disappear by the time I had taken the photo, but most of it was still visible.

“Shit,” my mate muttered as he handed the phone back me. “I guess someone broke into your dorm while you were out today.”

My stomach churned at the thought, a cold feeling spreading through my chest. “But how? The building has fob access only, and there’s a security guard posted at all times in the lobby.”

Edwin shook his head, his eyes dark with anger. “Well, the ‘security’ around here is clearly not good enough. I’ll be having a long chat with the dean about this, that’s for sure. Coldclaw rogues shouldn’t be able to waltz in here whenever they please.”

I wrapped my arms around myself, suddenly feeling very exposed in my tiny dorm room. “So what’s what you think it was?” I whispered. “Rogues?”

Edwin shrugged. “I can’t think of anyone else who would do something like that. If Fiona returned here, Peter or Charles would have found her. It had to have been rogues-likely they were sent to try and… collect you again.” Even Edwin, always the stronger out of the two of us, shuddered at the thought. “I’m just glad you weren’t here when they came.”

I let out a rueful chuckle. “It still feels like a violation, even if I wasn’t here when they came,” I whispered.”

“I know.”
