THE ALPHA’S ADDICTION

Aiden watched as the familiar werewolf calculated his options, on whether to stay or run. He could tell by the darting of the latter’s eyes from Derek to him.

“Hello boys… Now, what is going on? Why are you causing a commotion in the class?” He asked, feigning ignorance on what was actually going on.

But the two guys were mute.

He watched as Emma stepped around them, and approached him.

He didn’t know if that was a bad idea or a good one.

Her scent was too alluring. He thought, constraining himself from holding out his hand and grabbing her to him, while making sure to still his nose which seem to want to take an extra sniff whenever he tuned his attention on her.

He almost told her to stay back, but that would make him unfit to settle the differences between the two werewolves.

She walked pass him, and stayed behind him.

She was scared. He could tell, even of her said boyfriend.

Unstilling his nose, he perceived the scent that now coated his whole senses.

Amidst the mixture of confusing but intoxicating scent, he was able to sniff out the scent of the alpha boy, a recessive smell, but still there, quite tangible.

The alpha boy had slept with his lifemate, and he was sure that the dude was her first.

He gritted, and tightened his fists, already seeing red. The dog had to pay for touching his lifemate.

“Aiden, calm down. What is the situation of things there?” He heard his brother ask in that calm tone of his. Ever the reasonable and quiet one.

He soughed, before transferring his thoughts and the pictures of the events going on there.

“He is the son of Legardo.” His brother stated, and he concurred, now placing the face of the werewolf. The latter had a strong striking resemblance with the father who had visited them some time ago for a favour, a favour that had brought him to the English county, a favour that had led him to his lifemate. He was a bit grateful to the Legardo.

But why would send his son here? Didn’t he trust in their capacity?

What was the kid doing here?

“Be careful. Don’t do anything that will jeopardize the mission. Forget about what I had said earlier about taking the little girl and flying over, the mission is quite important. You can stealthily court her while working to solve the mission. You hear?” His brother stated.

“Yeah.” He replied through their mind path, before returning to the issue on ground.

He was tempted to look back at Emma, but stopped himself at the last moment. He didn’t trust himself not to hug her to himself, and breath into her neck like the previous night. The memories of the night still made him hard, even at this moment. She had been so receptive. He thought. Only that, he had compelled her into that state. He wondered if the redhead had slept with the alpha boy to get rid of his touch. The likely truth in this made him angry and sad at this same time.

But first, he had to deal with this.

Already, he had made sure that the humans and lesser supernaturals would have no remembrance of whatever had happened here today.

He would have done so the human, but he knew that she wasn’t just an ordinary human.

“Aren’t any of you going to talk? Or should I involve your parents?” He asked, looking at both boys who stared at him like he had grown two heads.

“Eh. Professor…I don’t think that is necessary in the college…I believe that ended in high school.” He heard Emma say from behind him.

“Oh…” He muttered, understanding why the boys were looking at him that way. Well, he could still pay the parents a visit. What gives?

“He had attacked my cousin.” He heard the alpha boy said, and nodded, diverting his attention to Legardo’s son; when all he wanted to do was smash his head against the wall for taking the precious virginity of his lifemate.

“His cousin had attacked me first.” The other werewolf said, and Emma hissed.

“Emma, you seem to be in the middle of this. Can you tell me what had happened?” He asked, as he turned to face the redhead.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“He was hitting on me. I told him I wasn’t interested, but he wouldn’t listen. He had been trying to hold me by the arm forcefully when Maya interfered. He is the one at fault.” She replied, meeting the gaze of the werewolf fiercely, her fear gone.

“Well, I think I have found the culprit. Any contradictions?” He asked, but go no reply.

“Alright then. Follow me.” He stated, pointing at the werewolf whom had instigated the fight, Legardo’s son.

***

Emma watched as the offending boy left with her history professor. She didn’t need anyone to tell her that the quiz for the day had been cancelled.

Slumping into a seat nearby, she let out a huge sigh. What a Friday. She thought, looking around the class.

Some students were trooping in, while some were walking away.

She knew that most of them had unwillfully forgotten what had just transpired here now. She was sure that Professor Perkins had made sure of that.

That’s better though. She thought, imagining the panic that would ensue among the world, heightened by the press if they found out about this.

Another Hogwarts school in the making. She thought, remembering the guy and what he had done to her best friend.

He hadn’t even touched her, and she had fainted, in pain too.

And what about her best friend? Was this what they have been hiding from her all along? Her blondie had powers too!

Well, this changes everything. She thought, a bit happy. They could share and talk about their powers now.

She wasn’t really different. She thought. She wasn’t weird.

But how did her powers come about? She asked.

It must be this county. She concluded.

There was something about this county that was making the inhabitants powerful, and she cared less about why that was so. She already had her hands full with threats and all that. She wondered if the others got it too, or if it was just specific to her.
