thout thinking, I punched Kade in the arm.
His eyes darkened even more, and he stepped towards me. I stared at him, refusing to pack down even though he was several inches taller than me, and anyone in their right mind would step away.
“That was assault,” he drawled. “Now… what do you think I should do about that?
He leaned closer, bringing my arm down to my side as he pressed against me. My pulse sped up. My cheeks were burning, and I had to turn my head to keep him from seeing how rosy they were.
Before I could say anything, I heard a throat clearing.
“The door was locked. Is everything okay?” Grace asked, her brows raised as she stared between the two of us.
I stepped away from Kade quickly as if I had been burned.
Kade let out his deep laugh, and Grace’s attention was back on him.
“Poor Lana here gets frustrated over me teasing her, is all. She’s very serious about her studies, and wishes I were to, but life’s too fun to worry about being stuck in a book all the time p>
“It is a hard class,” I add in, which wasn’t a lie.
Kade grinned.
“I’m sorry if I came off a little strong. I probably shouldn’t tease her so much. She really is a good person, so I’m sure you are too p>
Before he could say more, his phone chimed in his pocket. After checking the notifications, he told me to give Grace his contact info in case she ever needed help with anything at school… her being new and all. Then he retreated to the men’s locker room.
To my surprise, Grace wasn’t interested in giving Kade her number.
“It’s nice he offered, but I would never call him. Maybe if I thought he would fight someone for me, but that’s highly unlikely. He was sweet, though. Very charming p>
“Just be wary. He might seem like a nice guy on the surface, but he still sleeps around more than I’m sure is healthy for a person,” I said as we left the building.
Grace giggled at my comment.

“He seemed the perfect mix of naughty and nice towards you. Maybe you should try hooking up when you have to meet for that class project. You did say it was hard. Maybe it could be hard in more than one way p>
Shooting her a deadpan glance, I said, “I’m going to have to take a super hard mega pass on that suggestion p>
Grace laughed even louder.
“Why not? He’s nice, even if he has a bad streak in him,” she added when I shot her a deways glance. “And he’s super sexy, plus the two of you would look great together. If I saw you out for a night, all done up as a couple, there wouldn’t be anyone who could resist staring. Caleb would lose his mind to see you on Kade’s arm.
Her suggestion had me laughing as she left me for my next class, saying she’d see me at work if not before.
Professor Alden’s class was as hard as it was rumored to be, but my extensive preparation paid off because I was ready for every lesson and didn’t have to lean on Kade for help. Though he wasn’t bad when he did help. Of course, what didn’t help was having Olivia constantly fawn over Caleb.
Yeah, that’s right, she managed to change classes just to be a bitch.
“Isn’t it lucky my dad was able to pull some strings so I could be your partner, baby?” She said to Caleb while practically sitting in his lap. The partner he did have before Olivia bribed her way into class was frantically typing on her laptop, looking disheveled and stressed out. It wasn’t hard to assume she was now lumped with the bulk of the work.
Caleb glanced at me, then back at Olivia, before running a finger down her arm.
“Having you here definitely makes the class a lot less boring. They leaned in for a kiss, so I looked away and saw Kade standing in the doorway. He had a smirk on his face, and I was worried my short week of reprieve was over.
Once the teacher started, I learned why Olivia had insisted that Caleb and I sit a few spaces from me. It was a struggle to listen to the lecture with her whispering to him and giggling the entire class. Even their partner, the poor girl, moved a seat away to try to concentrate. Lucky for me, I had a solid two weeks under my belt of ignoring not just them, but Kade as well.
As though I manifested his attention by merely thinking his name, he leaned toward me and whispered, “I sure hope daddy has enough money to buy a passing grade. From what I’ve seen of Blondie, she couldn’t rub enough brain cells together to pass Home Economics p>
I snorted a bit too loudly, gaining the attention of some students. My cheeks flushed, and I

lowered my gaze as I whispered, “Shut up p>

Taugh was low and sent a swarm of butterflies in my belly. The professor continued speaking, going into power gains and the truth behind some legends. Kade seemed genuinely interested and sat forward, his expression changing.
“There are a lot of rumors about various ways to gain power, not just in our human form but our wolf as well.” There was a small murmuring on the other side of the room, and the people there were shooting glances to the Alpha who had partnered with the virgin Beta It had been obvious when they walked in that there was a decided increase in his Alpha aura
“Yes,” Professor Alden said. He had seemed to notice the attention of the students shifting while he spoke and turned to the partners in question. “We all noticed a difference in Ryan’s power today. Which would mean Crystal was indeed a virgin.” Crystal blushed. “Can I ask, how old are you, and when was your birthday p>
Crystal’s blush grew, but Ryan nudged her and told her to tell the group.
“My birthday was last month. I just turned eighteen.” There was an eruption of noise from the Alphas in the room. Most of what I could hear was unhappiness for not approaching her for their partner. Looking at Kade, he was staring at the teacher, his brow pursed in what appeared to be deep thought.
“Okay, calm down.” The class quieted as Alden continued. “I’m glad she was a genuine virgin. Most girls over eighteen are not honest when they claim they are a virgin. As you all know, the call of the heat is too much to resist. Either Crystal has an exceptional amount of willpower, or she has many safeguards protecting her, until meeting Ryan, that is p>
Some of the men around him laughed, but Crystal just blushed as the professor asked her which it might be.
“My parents are very protective of me. They only agreed on Ryan deflowering me after they met with his family and made a deal on him being my mate.” She sounded unhappy about the situation, but I couldn’t feel bad for her. She was the one who used her virginity to get a grade.
“As you see, class, if you don’t come from a wealthy family that can make sure to guard you, or if you are not at a strong enough level in the pack, holding your virginity for so long is mostly unheard of.” The class quieted as the professor began writing on the board. “You see, the Moon Goddess bestowed us with an untold of amount of power those who can bed a virgin over eighteen. Many believe this to be a legend, but as we see with Ryan, even Crystal, there is truth to the legend p>
Crystal nodded as the teacher continued.
This was a story I knew well, which is why I didn’t want anyone to know I was able to hold my virginity for so long. Being over nineteen and Omega would put me under so much scrutiny that I could even be forced to give my innocence up to the highest bidder if less reputable

individuals found out. So, no one, not even a fated mate, could know. It wasn’t to be revealed until I trusted someone enough to sleep with him. Of course, I found out just in time how een that trust could be a lie.
As the professor went into detail about the kind of power each person could receive and the change it meant for each of their wolves, I tried to concentrate as best I could. It was a good thing I had such a vast amount of knowledge on the subject, though because Kade sened intent on staring at me once Professor Alden started writing on the board. It was starting to get to the point I felt like he was trying to bore holes through me with his gaze.
Fed up, I looked to him and whispered, “Can I help you p>
“Only if we can start dating p>
His response was so unexpected that all I could do for a heartbeat was stare back at him. He looked serious, so I glanced around to see if anyone had heard him. My life was just starting to be peaceful; the last thing I needed was him churning the rumor mill once more.
He had to be joking… or teasing… or something.
Then it dawned on me why, after all this time, he might ask. Could he have finally guessed I was a virgin? Did all the virgin talk in class make him realize the mark he saw was a virgin birthmark?
Fuck, fuck, fuck!
Trying to blink myself back into reality, I blurted, “I’m not a virgin, so I don’t know why you would even want to date an Omega like me p>
He laughed; it was dark and rich, and my heart nearly exploded at the sound. Alruna was instantly on her toes.
“Virgin or not, you’ll be mine, Little Bird. I guess then I’ll know the truth p>
