Feral Confessions - Adrianna And The Alpha

Chapter 10 - Come With Me To The Creek Today



The class lasted for an extra half an hour. The professor had been teaching about covalent bonds for the last week and since most of it was numerical, Adrianna believed she wouldn't have much of a problem catching up.

When the class ended, Adrianna and Niiya went outside to the gardens that were located just out of their classroom and sat down to exchange notes. Adrianna wrote them down quickly and would ask Niiya questions whenever she doubted herself. Within the hour before their next class, Adrianna had covered most of what had been taught during the week that she was absent. ​​

"Would you like me to come over and teach you the rest?" Niiya offered as they collected the notes that were scattered around them. Niiya had visited her home many times before on the premise of teaching her.

At over six feet, Niiya towered above Adrianna who was only five feet eight inches tall. Even though she was considered tall amongst her human friends, she was of an average height amongst werewolf girls. Her father and her brothers were taller than Niiya and more daunting.

"No… I think I can manage..." said Adrianna. She was always grateful that she had a friend as fantastic as Niiya who always helped her. It was rumored that Niiya had been admitted on a physics major, but had changed his major to chemistry because of Adrianna. The fact that they were also lab partners was an added advantage.

Most of her notes were in her hand and she had some stashed in her bag. As they got up to leave for their lab which was held in the second floor of the chemistry wing, Adrianna picked up the smell that she had picked up that day in her grandfather's cottage when she had been injured. She stopped in her tracks and turned back to see the source of the smell. Her eyes widened when she saw him coming at her from the opposite direction along with three others. He was staring at her as he walked in her direction. Adrianna's heart started beating fast as though it would leap out of her body. There was a slight glow around her. In her trance, her notes slipped out of her hand and scattered all around her.

Niiya was walking alongside her and was looking ahead of him at all of the jealous stares that he usually received whenever he walked with her. He halted when he saw that all of Adrianna's notes had fallen out of her hands. Looking at her, he found her staring at a devilishly handsome man.

Jealous, he circled his arms around her shoulders and said, "Adrianna, pick up your notes, lest they get stomped on by others."

Being forced to come back to reality, Adrianna blushed as her glow immediately receded and she bent down to pick up her notes. Her mind was confused. "How is this be possible?" She shook away her thoughts and forced herself to focus on the task in front of her: collecting the notes that had been scattered. She felt foolish for being entranced by him for the second time.

A control freak, as she was groomed to be, she plastered a stupid smile on her face and collected her thoughts and her notes before getting up to go to class. She was determined not to look in his direction, but she ended up looking anyways. He wasn't there and his smell was gone; only familiar ones remained.

Niiya was trying to mark his territory, as a human would do in such situations. He had to find a way to confess his thoughts to her soon.

While walking to class, Niiya asked, "Tonight, will you accompany me to the creek?"

Located on the outskirts of the town, the creek was a small and beautiful body of water. The azure waters of the creek were surrounded by wild flowers and lush green forests. College students often gathered there in the evenings to have fun and get to know each other. They would burn fire, play music, dance, swim and hang out with their friends.

"Umm… no Niiya. You know I don't like going out over there…" she replied, shaking her head.

Niiya stepped in front of her and walked backwards while speaking, "C'mon, even Okashi will be going there. Both of us will come pick you up. Please? Just this once. I have been asking you for so long. It will be a lot more fun with you." He had pleaded her a much in the past, but she had never agreed. This time, he was adamant. The presence of that strange boy in the chemistry wing was alarming.

The boy had been with a very beautiful woman with very sharp features and a voluptuous figure. With heavy makeup and body-hugging clothes, she was hanging onto his arm like a snake around its owner. But Adrianna was far more beautiful in an understated kind of way. Niiya liked her simple sense of fashion; it was almost gamine.

"I will see, Niiya. Let's get to lab. We are going to be late," said Adrianna, smacking his head with a rolled note sheet.

"Ouch!" Niiya acted as though he was in pain and started rubbing his head. She laughed at his stupidity and walked into the classroom.

By the time they walked in, the professor was already there and the students had already started working on their experiments. The lab today was on determining the melting point of various compositions when they were mixed.

They headed to their desk after collecting the compound from the professor and put on their protective eyeglasses. They picked capillaries, took medium sized samples, and placed them in the melting point apparatus to heat up. It didn't take much time and they started writing down notes once they had successfully discovered the melting points. While they were writing, Niiya pleaded, "Please come with me to the creek today."

"Fine!" she answered, annoyingly.
