Chapter 3

• INDIGO.
• "Mate." The word flowed from his mouth and I gasped in shock,
• He rushed over and grabbed my arm, tugging me to his side. A growl left the back of Lyriq's throat immediately as his brown eyes fixed on the blue eyes of this handsome man.
• What is going on here?
• "What are you doing...naked with my mate?" He asked Lyriq,
• He continued to stare down at him, not answering my question. Then he grabbed my left hand much to my surprise, both of then pulling me on each sides.
• "Your mate? She is mine." He said, his voice steely and my eyes widened at that, Lyriq didn't treat me like his mate, he was awful to me.
• The other man pulled me to his back and glared at Lyriq, his teeth were bared as he growled at him. In a matter of seconds, Lyriq shifted into his wolf form.
• Oh no, this isn't good at all and while is no one trying to pacify them.
• The man in front of me didn't bother to pull off his clothes as they shredded the moment his gorgeous black wolf came into view. I backed away staring at the wolves as that circle each other.
• Lyriq lunged at him first, his claws swiping at my second mate's fur but getting no direct hit. The black wolf tackled him to the floor and was about to dig my claws into him when I screamed.
• "Stop! Just stop! Both of you!" I yelled in anger surprisingly they listened and the black wolf shifted back, Lyriq shifting after him while I look away from their naked bodies.
• "Stay out of wolf's business, Little Red," Lyriq warned.
• I didn't see the other man by the time I turned, Lyriq walked out of the classroom and I was left with no choice but to follow the other man. The bell rang immediately after that and students rushed into the classroom, occupying almost everywhere.
• Great, just what I needed, I should have rushed to take a seat but then I wouldn't know if it was already occupied by someonee in the first place, they said I shouldn't mess with anyone so I'm not taking my chances.
• I decided to go all the way to the back because it was the only seat that isn't occupied, these students are really serious and the way they settled down quietly is shocking.
• "Today, we are going to learn about channeling." I heard the man with the black wolf say, he is the one in charge of this class? Oh that's why he was going to fight with Lyriq, he is a shadow manipulator.
• I finally found a seat at the back of the class and just when I was about to settle down, he approached me with narrowed eyes.
• "Miss-"
• "Lakspur." I interjected and he nodded as if committing it to his memory.
• "Right. Miss Lakspur, since you will have to catch up with the other students, I recommend that you sit in the front row." He suggested and I shook my head.
• "Well, there's no need for that-" I protested because we were being watched, I hated being a subject and the students whispering among themselves made me anxious.
• "That wasn't a request," He said and turned to walk away, not bothering to see if I was following him.
• Of course, he knew I was. It's not as if I can refuse his direct order and I just arrived at this school, so far they have taught me not to be impulsive because they are powerful people here who would kill me if I become a bother.
• I hate my life right now, first my family treats me like shit and now this.
• I should be grateful I even survived.
• I settled beside a pretty girl and smiled at her, she returned my smile with a friendly one of her own.
• Phew, what a relief. At least not all the students are cruel.
• "Like I said, we're going to be learning about channeling. Your powers solely depend on how to channel them properly, If not, there's a very high probability that it would go haywire." He explained and his gaze met with mine.
• I was transfixed I badly want to keep looking into those eyes, my mate rejected me only for me to have two mates like some sort of consolation from the moon Goddess. I broke the eye contact first because I didn't want to be distracted, I tend to get carried away and he doesn't seem like the type to coax his students.
• If I need to stay in this school I need to learn and be strong.
• I don't even know if they'll reject me yet, no one wants a wolfless mate.
• "He is hot right?" The girl beside me asked and my eyes widened at that, turns out I'm not the only one watching.
• White hot rage crosses through my veins and I took a deep breath, why do I feel like ripping her head off for saying that.
• "Yeah, I guess" I forced a smile.
• "The key to channeling your powers is having a full sense of control. Accepting it-"
• "So where are you from?" She asked and I was about to reply when I heard my name.
• "Miss Lakspur, what was it I said last?" My eyes found his blue ones glaring at me.
• Shit.
• All eyes diverted to where I sat, and I wished the ground would open up and swallow me to save me from such embarrassment.
• "You said..." My voice was barely a whisper, I wasn't listening so I didn't get his last words.
• "I said what?" He asked impatiently and I bit my lips.
• "I don't know." I finally gave up.
• "That's what I thought. When you were busy chitchatting to pay attention, how would you know? And yet, you want to graduate? We'll see about that."
• I was embarrassed and flushed as I bowed my head, "I'm sorry" I apologized
• "No need for that, see me after class" He replied and went back to teaching.
• Maybe I won't survive this school after all.
• I tried to focus on what he was teaching after that but instead I felt scanning his features, it's hard to focus with such a hot teacher and I chew on my lower lip fighting the urge to go run my fingers through his dark locks.
• What is wrong with me? I really need to focus. The bell rang signifying the end of this class and I walked up to him.
• "Mr-"
• "Alpha Valtor." He supplied, I blinked rapidly, he is an Alpha? How? Why is he here and not with his pack? An Alpha with shadow manipulation, then he must be part of the Sanctum.
• "You said you wanted to see me?"
• "I did." He stood up from his chair and stalked towards me in slow but deliberate footsteps, "This class is very important, Miss Lakspur, if you fail it, you will be sent away from this school. I know the conditions on which you were sent here. Be careful. Pay attention, I don't care if you're meeting new people."
• I winced at that.
• "Y-yeah, I'm sorry, I just got caught up-"
• "Save your apologies and excuses. Leave now." He dismissed harshly.
• "Why do you hate me so much?" I blurted out before I could stop myself.
• He raised an eyebrow at me.
• "What do you mean?" He asked,
• "You've been cold to me ever since-" I dragged in a breath, I shouldn't care about how he treats me, but it hurts that I might be rejected again "since you embarrassed me in class."
• Lyriq was cruel to me and now he is even worse, I don't know why the Moon Goddess decided to give me such cruel men as mates.
• I guess I just have to braced myself for rejection again.
• He suddenly towered over me, his eyes shooting daggers at my fragile frame. I wanted to back down but instead I found myself pulling closer, I snapped out of it and moved backwards.
• "You're my mate. I do not hate you." He followed my body movements as I took another step back, He followed again, "I've trained the best wolves in this academy, I don't care if you're without one. You will be the best because I will push you." He proclaimed.
• He cradled my face, my heartbeat spiking up as a gasp escaped my lips, my face was incredibly close to his that If any of us moved even an inch, our lips would touch.
• His thumb brushed my bottom lip, I sighed and shamelessly leaned further into his hand. He looked conflicted for a moment there and I shut my eyes closed, only for him to withdraw his hand like I was on fire. My eyes snapped open immediately and I stared at him in confusion,
• What did I do?
• "Leave my class, Indigo.”
