THE ALPHA’S ADDICTION

The quiz was already in session as Emma, Derek and Maya stepped into the large classroom. Their entrance which seemed to entrall the other students present, didn’t faze the lectuter who was annoyed already at having some students late for his quiz.

“Why are you late?” He asked, his attention solely on Derek and Emma. “And who is she?” He queried further, diverting his attention from the duo to Maya, who he accurately thought was a new face.

“I…” Emma was about saying, when Derek rushed in with his own statement, cutting her off.

“Our car broke down on the way; we had to wait for a mechanic to fix it.” He had said, keeping a straight face; that a person, apart from the two girls, would think that he was all truth, and no lies.

“Oh, okay. And she?” The history professor asked, bubbling his head in the direction of Maya.

“She is my cousin. She’s a new student too.” Derek replied, casting a furtive glance at his cousin.

“I see.” The professor stated, peering at the trio through the glasses that laid loosely on his nose. “Get a seat then. The quiz is already in session. You can ask your course mates for the question.” He said, dismissing them with a wave of his left hand.

“Okay sir. Thank you.” Derek replied, to the suprise of Maya who was already used to his rudeness and pride. A lot had really changed. She thought.

She walked steps behind Emma and Derek as they thronged their way to the back section of class, while trying hard to ignore the stares she was getting from the other students, human males especially.

“Here, sit here.”

Maya nodded, as she understood Emma’s statement. Her cousin was already seated. His mate was positioned between two of them.

“The question…?” She asked, as she took out a sheet from her bag.

“Derek is getting it.” Emma replied, turning sideways to jab Derek for the question.

She stretched her neck, to Maya’s amusement, as she tried to see whatever her boyfriend was writing down on a sheet.

“Wait.. are you writing this quiz?” She asked Maya, after it dawned upon her that it could be the only reason she was asking for the question.

“Yeah, I am.” Maya replied with a shrug.

“But you’re just coming today..” Emma retorted.

“Yes, I know. But Derek already filled me in on the course.” Maya stated, staring ahead at her cousin who seemed to have been drawn into their conversation at the mention of his name.

“Here’s the question..” He finally said, showing them the sheet of paper.

Emma thought it too simple. Maya thought she could give it a try. What could go wrong? After all she was a newbie; nothing bad in getting some points.

“Okay.” The duo stated, before copying down the questions, whilst taking peeps at Derek’s sheet.

“Ten minutes more!”

The professor’s voice boomed across the classroom, causing the students to speed up their writing rate, amidst mumurings and slight mutterings.

Emma was already going through her written work, a smile plastered on her face.

“Are you done already?” Maya asked, suprise clothing her facial features as she beheld the contented look on the beautiful face of her cousin’s mate.

“Yeah. It was not really difficult.” Emma stated, not wanting to blow her trumpet. She didn’t want a newbie to feel bad already.

“Wow, that’s nice.” Maya replied sincerely, happy that the human was at least intelligent enough to answer the tactical question which the bald headed professor had given to them.

“Oh, thank you.” Emma answered, trying furtively to hide a smile as the compliments hit her brain nerves.

“Are you both done?” Derek asked, cutting into the ladies’ conversation, while peering into the sheet. He thought that he did his best at answering the question which were so tactical and brainy.

“Yeah.” Emma replied.

“Almost.” Maya replied, bitting her lips tentatively, as she turned her attention back to her sheet. She felt that she should still be writing since others, as she could still see, were still writing. She felt she hadn’t written all that she should.

“Well, get to it then.” Derek stated. “You don’t have to pass your sheet though. You just have to meet him after the class and perhaps book another quiz day for yourself, when you would be more prepared.” He said, dropping his pen on the sheet; indicating that he was done writing.

“No. I want to be done with it now.” Maya said. “I guess I’m done though.” She stated, staring blankly at her sheet; no more answers were forthcoming.

“Alright then.” Derek replied, shrugging his shoulders. He reclined his back properly on his seat, while taking a glimpse at his little witch, who had also kept her pen on her sheet;but waiting for the professor to call up for submission. How am I going to apologise?. He thought, as he rubbed his forehead with his index finger.

Casting his eyes down to his mate’s slender fingers which laid sprawled on her thigh, he thought it wise to hold it and apologize.

At that moment, he wished there was a way he could mind link her. It would have been more easier.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

“Hold it already.” He heard his wolf, Maru, mutter.

Taking a deep breath, he stretched forth his hand to hold his little witch’s hand, when the professor’s voice boomed across the hall for the second time.

“Time’s up. Pass your sheets to the person in front of you.” The bald headed man shouted, while standing at akimbo.

Derek cussed, as he saw the opportunity to apologise pass from him. His little witch already detracted her hand from her thigh to pick up her sheet and Maya’s at the announcement of the professor.

He cussed further, as he beheld his cousin trying to hold in her laughter as she threw funny glances at him. She had known what he had wanted to do.

Sighing, he took up his sheet and passed it to the human male sitting in front of him, before reclining back on his seat.
