I gripped my hands to stop them from bshaking /bas we arrived in front of the ssroom for our first subject. I couldn’t help it. On our way here, most of the wolves had been talking babout /bthe ‘virgin‘ who enrolled at the academy.

“Arden, youing?” Tessa asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.

I nodded and followed after her. The ssroom was even better than I had imagined. Or maybe I had just grown ustomed to the worn–out interior of the Hades dorm. It had a new yet antique feel. All the facilities were modern, but the design itself appeared quite ssic.

I recognized some familiar faces in the room, although it seemed they didn’t care about my presence. I was thankful for that. My n toy low was still in action.

Tessa and I took our seats at the back, both a bundle of nerves. We were about to speak to one another when the door opened and the room fell dead silent.

The scent of freshundry mixed with sunlight and a teasing hint of musk invaded my senses as soon as he walked in. Alpha Cade Cahan.

“Cade is in this bss/b?” the others began to whisper.

“We’re so lucky. We have a True Alpha in a subject all about mating.”

“We could do some real mating if he wants.”

My gaze snapped toward the woman who spoke those words. Dang, werewolves were truly one of the most sexual beings on the, bhuh/b?

Cade searched the room for an empty seat. There were still a couple of vacant spots, and the people next to those seats began making more space, silently inviting the cold Alpha to sit beside them.

As he walked, my eyes traced his features. What a dangerously handsome being. It appeared that the Moon Goddess had taken her sweet time in creating him. The harmony of his features looked as if it had been sculpted with devotion, every angle carved bfor /bwhat seemed to be hours.

“Good morning, ss!” A middle–aged woman dressed in colorful frills entered the ssroom. She had a bwide /bsmile, her red lipstick entuating the curve of her lips. Her blush bwas /bheavily applied, but it seemed deliberate. It suited her well, btoo/b.

“I bam /bMiss Lovely Loveson,” she greeted, her name appearing on the board behind her. I held in the urge to gasp at the cutting–edge technology. “And I will be your teacher for ‘Pack Psychology & Bonding for the entire year.”

The subject is divided into two parts–Psychology and Mating. The first is moreplicated, and since you’re we will focus on thetter topic for the first semester.”

The room erupted into excited whispers. I turned to Tessa, bwho /bwas quieter than usual, and nudged her shoulder.

“Do you think that’s a good thing?” I asked.

She snapped out of her daze before tilting her head. “Hmm, sure. Yeah, practical teaching is better than in lectures.”

I chuckled and focused my attention back to the front, where Miss Loveson continued exining the course’s gist.

“With this bin /bbmind/b,” she continued, “I bwill /bnot be having a lecture for the first month of my subject. I want you to discuss the topics instead. You are all grown–ups, so I’m assuming you are not clueless about the mating process.”

She then brought out a small, colorful box and began shaking its contents. “I will divide you into groups of four, band /ba representative will choose a topic for discussion. By the end of next week, I want you to give me and the ss aprehensive presentation. Then, right after, we’ll have a quiz on everybody’s presentation.”

As bmost /bof the wolves who made it in Elite were intellectuals, noints arose across.

Just then, a short–haired woman raised her hand. “Can we choose our groups?”

Miss Loveson smiled, a suspicious glint in her eyes. “As much as I value autonomy, I also believe in stepping out of yourfort zone. I bwill /bbe choosing the groups,” bshe /bsaid, her tone not leaving any room for argument.

Tessa and I visibly froze when everyone turned toward usb, /bjealousy, burning in their eyes. However, at that moment, I was willing to give up my seat for literally anybody else.
