One Night With My Alpha Professor by Eve Above Story

Chapter 222

Audrey

The moon shone through the curtains, pale blue shafts of light pooling across the sheets. Edwin and I lay in a tangled heap, breathless and warm against one another’s bare skin.

With one last sigh, I finally splintered and cracked on my mate. We reached our peak together, the sound of my name on his tongue sending me over the edge one last time.

“Audrey…” he breathed into my ear, his voice low and husky. He shuddered and collapsed on top of me, his dark hair falling into his eyes as he peppered kisses across my collar bone.

But as our breathing slowly returned to normal, I felt a strange… tingling sensation wash over me.’Not an aftershock of my pleasure, but something else.

It was unlike anything I had experienced before-a surge of power that seemed to emanate from my core, spreading through my body like warm honey.

Edwin’s eyes widened as he reached up to touch my hair, his fingers trembling slightly. I gasped, jolting back at the sensation. The odd tremble that went through me indicated that what he was touching wasn’t my hair at all, but something… else.

“What. What is…” I sat up, reaching up to touch where he had, and instantly yanked my hand away when I met something covered in… fur.

“Audrey..” Edwin’s voice was full of awe, reverence, and maybe even a hint of amusement as he pointed at my head. “Your wolf ears are showing.”

“What?!” I exclaimed, quickly extricating myself from him and leaping out of bed. The cool night air hit my bare skin, raising goosebumps as I rushed to the full-length mirror in the corner of the room, my heart pounding so hard I could feel it in my throat.

Sure enough, a pair of silver wolf ears were poking out of my hair, twitching slightly as I stared at them in disbelief. They were beautiful-sleek and pointed, with a soft sheen that caught the dim light of the bedroom.

“Is this… is this really happening?” I breathed, reaching up to touch one of the ears. It felt soft and warm and undeniably real beneath my fingertips, and very much like touching my normal ear but with a fine layer of fur and ten times the sensation.

But as quickly as they had appeared, the ears began to fade. Within seconds, they were gone, leaving me staring at my normal reflection once again.

“They’re… gone,” I said, slowly turning to face Edwin again. He was sitting up in bed now, the sheets pooling around his waist and the moonlight almost seeming to glisten across his chiseled musculature. “What does this mean? Am I finally going to shift soon?”
