#CHAPTER 36 Confession
It happened so fast that even in a gossip-heavy place like Scarlet University, no one was really certain what had happened that morning. There had been next to no witnesses except the couple dozen confused passersby who had been straining to see what was happening between the cars and over everyone else's shoulders, and Flicka's friends certainly weren't going to tell anyone the truth.
By the end of the day, the general consensus was that there hadn't actually been a fight, but that I had shouted Flicka down and reduced her to pitiful tears. Somehow, she had also ended up naked, caught by one phone camera that had managed to film about two haphazard seconds of the incident. But that too was written off as a wardrobe malfunction. Certainly the tiny hybrid girl couldn't have actually beaten Flicka in a real fight.
In some ways, it was even better than the truth. The sheer humiliation of the rumors must have been the reason Flicka never showed up to the afternoon class

Evan had to go away on business again. There was so little time for us to spend together between his Alpha duties and my classes, especially with the time for finals creeping ever closer.There was also the added stress of Rafael taking me to see her gynecologist so I could start birth control, another thing she held against Evan for his carelessness in not handling himself, since he was legally my guardian and I would have no reasonable way of knowing how to handle myself.Maybe the compounded stress was the reason for the strange nightmare that plagued me two nights in a row. His absence made me so uneasy in the wake of the new turns in our relationship.I couldn't remember the entire dream, but what little I did recall was dark and terrifying enough to bathe me in sweat when I awoke. Something about Evan, and blood, and screams.It was on the third day when I dozed over my homework at my desk that I remembered it all at once: the nightmare took s
Alpha's Hybrid Cinderella #CHAPTER 38 Lovebirds
I had never watched a movie from beginning to end except for 'filler movies' in classes back in high school when we had substitute teachers. Being in a real movie theater, with popcorn and drinks and sitting side by side with the man I was in love with? It had to be a dream. I could hardly pay attention to the movie at all when Evan's hand was on my thigh, fingers stroking me gently over my knee.For dinner, Evan let me choose where to go. He had a list of locations at the ready on his phone and described six or seven places to me in the car, when at last I told him the truth. I didn't want to go to another restaurant.I didn't want to be watched and ogled by others while Evan and I tried to eat in peace. Even the place where we ate at for lunch had been stressful despite us having a private room to ourselves. The knowledge that the staff was hovering outside the door at all times had made me anxious and self-conscious."Where do you want to go, then?" he asked,

"Which of the following will react most easily with hydrochloric acid to form an alkyl halide? A, primary alcohol, or B, secondary alcohol, or C, tertiary alcohol, or D, all of the above?"Rafael slammed her forehead on the table. "This is pointless. I'm going to fail and there is nothing I can do about it. Just let me die.""Raf! Sit up, we're going to finish these flashcards if they kill you!""Please! That would be a mercy killing at this point!""You haven't even started your Calc 3 review packet, don't wimp out on me now.""Why are you suddenly snapping the whip like a taskmaster now of all times?" Raf moaned. "Where did the nice, sweet, understanding Claudia go? No compassion at all for the suffering...""You're not suffering anything, Raf. Except for the consequences of procrastinating all semester."She coughed a few times into the desk. "Ah... I'm feeling weak... Did I tell you I used to have asthma when I was younger..."

EVANClaudia would be all right. She was being stubborn about taking the rest she needed, but she slept peacefully now with some timely help. Evan left her bedroom with a smile so he could wash up and prepare for Peelle's visit. Osborn had had to stay behind in Dark Moon to make sure nothing happened while they were away, but it would be good to have even one trusted companion back. It was past time for a real face-to-face meeting.Evan's good mood melted away at the thought, and the stern coldness of his usual demeanor returned to its customary place. He had taken the day off to take care of Claudia since he trusted no one else to do so like he could, but the same went for this business with Dark Moon. Things were too entangled for him to step carelessly. He had entrusted the basics to Peelle and Osborn for now, but he would be giving this his undivided attention tonight."Peelle.""Evan."When no one else was around, they were like this,
Alpha's Hybrid Cinderella #CHAPTER 41 Danger
My Herbology courses were supposed to be more challenging than my general education courses or my electives, but I was so confident in them that I scheduled my final exams for them the first chance I had, the earliest time on the earliest day possible. My lab course, thankfully, didn't have an exam at all but rather a final experiment that made up thirty percent of my grade. With preparation, I breezed through them all. My last two exams, I saved for Wednesday. That was the day Evan was supposed to leave, and I wanted to occupy myself as much as possible so I wouldn't be so miserable missing him. If I exhausted myself and went straight to bed, I wouldn't feel so desolate until the next day. Too bad Rafael had gone the opposite route and scheduled all her exams for the last possible slots to give herself more time to study. Her courses in particular already had the latest slots overall out of all the classes, so that meant she would be on her exam schedule a full week

If I didn't know any better, I would have thought Evan... was afraid.The ruthless Alpha of the Scarlet pack, conqueror, modern day warlord who razed entire enemy packs to the ground if they stepped a toe out of line, the cruel king of the region with no one to stand in his way -- afraid? It didn't seem possible.And yet from the moment they met to now, as we rode the train in a private compartment to Dark Moon territory, Evan radiated coiling tension and simmering heat like he never had before. This was unlike the night he had come chasing after me when I tried to leave. He had been full of volcanic rage then, ready to tear apart anything that stood in his way.But what I saw now was something strangled, barely bridled, the twitching of a tight spring itching for release. Evan was holding back. His eyes remained glued to the window as the world whipped past us, keen eyes seeing things I couldn't, and his hand gripped tight around my wrist as if he thought I mig
Alpha's Hybrid Cinderella #CHAPTER 43 The Map
"Speculating, Peelle?""Yeah, when the situation requires it. It's not like me, I know, but things aren't adding up. No ransom demand? That was our first clue. Matter of fact, that should have been the answer right there. Who would risk bringing down Scarlet's wrath on them just to play a game of 'will-I-or-won't-I' with us? If they captured Osborn for money, they're going to tell us right off the bat so they can finish it as soon as possible and get him back off their hands.""But they didn't." Evan leaned back in the sofa and glowered at the map. "No communication for twenty four hours.""Exactly. Maybe they'll play that kind of game of suspense with smaller packs to toy with them, but they won't do that with us. Every hour they delay, that's more of a chance we'll find them before they can ever demand a ransom at all. Then they risk death for no reward, period. No. That's not what's happening here.""How'd you find this map? This is Osborn's, isn't it?

When my phone rang fifteen minutes later, I dove for it, thinking it was Evan. It wasn't. Even so, I was pleased to recognize the voice on the other end of the line."Whoa. That was the most enthusiastic hello I've gotten in ages. I don't even get that kind of greeting from my girlfriends."I sighed and lay back in my bed. "Girlfriends plural? You're such a player, Peelle.""Yeah, well, some of us need some extra love. Speaking of which... I guess I missed out on a lot since I've been stationed in Dark Moon, huh? I already knew you and Evan were getting it on, but I thought...""Getting it on! That sounds so lame.""Am I wrong? Come on, I saw the way he looked at you. And he's touching you and holding your hand and babying you...""Shh! It's... none of your business anyway." I grabbed my pillow and flopped a pillow over my face, mortified. I was smiling, though, and Peelle clucked his tongue at me, all too aware of the mushy mess I
