One Night With My Alpha Professor by Eve Above Story

Time slowed, each second stretching into an eternity as the silver arrow sliced through the air, its deadly point trained directly on Edwin’s heart. The world blurred around me, narrowing to that single glint.

“Save yourself!” Edwin’s voice echoed down the bond.

But there was something that they didn’t know-something that not even Edwin knew. Something that I didn’t even know until this very moment.

Something that changed everything.

Fiona and Axel believed they had us cornered, trapped within their grasp, but that couldn’t have been further from the truth.

At that moment, I thought back to the moments just before dawn-when the sky held onto the last vestiges of night, the moon hanging low, pale and ghostly as the first traces of light began to thread across the horizon.

Barefoot, I stood in the clearing, the cool dampness of the grass brushing against the hem of my dress.

Tina pressed a bundle of wildflowers that she’d picked into my hands

“I figured you’d at least need a bouquet,” she whispered, her voice choked with tears. “Every bride needs a bouquet.”

I managed a tiny smile. “We’ll have a real wedding, you know. Once we’re able.”

Tina sniffled. “I know. It’s just… This should be special, too.”

I nodded, glancing down at the dress I’d picked out. It was the same silver one I’d worn to the charity gala, the closest thing to white I could find in my closet. It was no wedding gown, that was for certain, but it worked in a pinch.

Across from me, Edwin was grumbling with annoyance as Charles fiddled with his hair and Gavin adjusted his shirt. He was dressed simply, a pair of black trousers, an untucked button-down with the first few buttons undone, hair tousled.

He was barefoot, like me, so that we could both feel the earth beneath us.

My heart swelled at the sight of him looking so simple and free, and I blushed, looking away.

“You’re sure you want this?” Betty asked softly, her fingers brushing my wrist. “You’re sure it’s not too soon?”

I nodded. “Yes, I… I want this,” I murmured. It was last-minute, unexpected, but… lives hinged on this. Not just Peter’s, but ours, our friends, that little girl with cancer.
