Chapter 140: A Busy Week
Evaline:
By the time the weekend faded into Monday morning, I was ready to slip back into my routine as a student of Silver Moon Academy.
Monday passed without incident - smooth lectures, a quick lunch, and quiet evenings filled with finishing touches on the Runes project. Tuesday mirrored it with the same unbothered rhythm.
I got so absorbed that I almost forgot that just a days ago, I had been pinned to a hotel bed by a drunken Rogue Alpha King with the strength of a boulder and the grace of a toddler.
By Wednesday morning, the bump on my forehead completely disappeared as the balm worked its quiet magic over time. I examined myself in the mirror, tilting my head left and right to make sure the evidence was truly gone. Satisfied, I pulled my hair into a neat braid and headed out.
Wednesday was also the most silent day at the Academy because of the full moon. More than half the students had taken the days off, not because they all needed it but because they could. And all three Rogue Alpha brothers were also absent just like the month before.
Unlike last month, I didn’t find myself heading to the library after dinner or stumbling upon a glowing-eyed wolf that turned out to be my mate. No, this time I did what every sane person should do, I locked myself in my bedroom.
Not out of fear. Not because I didn’t want to see one of my mates again in their wolf form. But because it wasn’t really safe to be found in a similar situation by any of the staff. Not like many would be wondering the halls on a night of full moon, but still.
I couldn’t risk being discovered.
