Chapter 131

The alarm screeched through the air, and I groaned. I think it’s safe to say that I am a night owl. I want to just roll over, but I have to get ready for class.

Class Ugh. I’m excited but also dreading it.

"You get to find out who the secret professor is today!" Nix’s voice sounded excited.

“Why are you so excited?” I yawned so wide, my jaw cracked. I sat up and stretched.

“I don’t know; she has been amped up since last night. I kept her entertained so you could sleep," Megan’s voice was tired.

"Nix?"

"Someone’s coming. I don’t know who, but it’s important," she panted. It was like she was running around in my mind.

“That’s exactly what she is doing," Megan countered, yawning herself.

I laughed as I stood and made my way into the bathroom. Time to get ready. I showered, dried my hair, and then stepped back into my room to choose my outfit. I flipped through my clothes until I landed on simple jeans. I grabbed them and a black tank top. I got dressed, flipping my hair into a messy bun, some quick eyeliner and gloss, and I was out the door for breakfast.

I headed for the cafeteria, checking the time to make sure I had enough to grab food before my first class. I had ample time, and I was starving. The need for protein was intense.

“What is going on with you, Nix?”

“I need to shift!” Her voice was still out of breath, and then the need hit me.

I wavered on my legs before I locked my knees. “Wait until after our first class before we can shift.” I pushed through the door to the cafeteria and headed straight to the food. I grabbed a tray and loaded it with bacon, sausages, and eggs. I grabbed an orange juice, then headed to the cashier.

“Good morning.” The older lady smiled at me, and I smiled back.

“Good morning.” She swiped my card, and I watched as her eyes widened. “Is there something wrong?”

“No, no.” She smiled again, only this time it was a little forced. Then she leaned in. “Alphas usually eat with the Dean in the morning.”

I shook my head as I rolled my eyes. “Well, I guess I missed the memo.” I winked and then grabbed my food before I turned and found an empty table.

I sat down and dug in. It had only been a few minutes before I heard a nasally voice, and I wanted to kick myself for not grabbing coffee. I finished my food and was just about to get up, but the nasally voice had zeroed in on me, and I was surrounded by a pack of rabid girls. I wanted to hang my head; I did not have enough caffeine to deal with this yet.

“What are you doing?” I pretended not to hear, and I finished the last of my toast before I wiped my mouth. The woman with the nails-on-a-chalkboard voice snarled and slammed her hands down on the table across from me. “I said, what are you doing?”

I looked up slowly from my tray. I leaned back in my chair as I sized up the woman in front of me. Typical popular girl, maybe a Beta, one that hasn’t had to deal with stronger female wolves from her pack. “Eating.” My answer was slow, drawn out. I waved my hands over my tray and widened my eyes.

The blonde girl straightened her back and glared at me. Her friends, a brunette and a redhead. Lower rank, but still decently powerful, maybe a high-level unranked, or Gammas. I watched as she bristled. “You’re not funny. What are you doing at our table?”

I leaned over my tray and waved my hands. “Eating. I’m done, so you can have your table.” I turned to walk away, but I felt a hand wrap around my hair and pull. I dropped the tray and grabbed the redhead by her throat before the other two could move. “Let me go,” the redhead screeched, but I just smiled.

“You touched me first.” I pulled her closer to my face and felt my eyes shift as Nix begged to be released. “Now, why would you go and do something stupid like that?” I squeezed my hand, and she started to choke.

“Release her.” I felt the wave of power come from the blonde. Pathetically weak, so I just laughed and turned to her, still choking her friend. My head tilted to the side.

“You’re going to have to do better than that if you want me to release this bitch.” I felt my fangs slide down, and I bared them.

“Enough!”
