One Night With My Alpha Professor by Eve Above Story

Saying that the following months passed by in a blur would have been putting it lightly.

After Edwin informed me of what was going on in the orphanages, our days became packed with constant work. There was so much to do, so much evil to root out and cut off at its source, and the list of things that needed to be done seemed to grow more and more by the day.

Claudia was immensely helpful in putting together a hiring team to find better and more trustworthy orphanage directors. Furious that her own daughter, amongst so many other human children, had been treated this way, she was like a fire burning through the work that needed to be done.

Before we knew it, we had an entire list of potential candidates to take over the positions, and the list spanned several pages.

“Claudia, this is enough candidates for an entire lifetime of orphanages,” Edwin said as he flipped through the list. “And they’ve all passed the background checks?”

My mother nodded, her arm tightening around my shoulders. “I know many of the candidates personally. Many of them are Silverbite pack members, but I didn’t think that would be an issue.”

Edwin glanced at me with a ghost of a smile passing his lips. “Of course it isn’t.” His Luna was the heir of Silverbite, after all. Maybe someday the two packs would combine into one, if we had the guts to make it happen.

Charles and Peter, in the meantime, worked day and night to dredge out the corrupt orphanage directors and their cohorts. The work was done quietly and efficiently, and soon enough the Crescent prison practically had its own wing dedicated to the bastards.

That was where I came in.

“It’s all you, little star,” Peter said as he opened the door to the interrogation room. “Do your worst.”

I flashed my brother in law a wry sneer as I brushed into the room, where one of the corrupt orphanage directors sat waiting in a yellow jumpsuit.

His eyes widened upon seeing me.

“You’re the Silver Star,” he breathed, leaning back a little in his chair. The chains around his wrists clinked together as he moved away. “What are you going to do to me?”

“Don’t worry,” I said softly. Instead of taking the chair opposite him, I perched on the side of the table closest to him. He tried to move back a little more, but his chains stopped him from going very far. “Relax. I’m just here to take a peek inside that mind of yours.”

The director stiffened, but he had nowhere to go, and no mental defenses to stop me from slipping into his mind.
