Alpha Academy

Chapter 11

Later that night, I look up from my desk when there is a knock on my door. I grunt as I get out of the plush chair and stumble over to the door on weak legs.

I swing the door open to reveal Hannah standing there, lazily clad in fuzzy, purple pyjama pants and a white tank top. Before I can even invite her in, she runs into the room, a big smile on her face.

"What has you so dreadfully perky?" I ask her, flopping down on my bed like a discarded doll.

Hannah gives me a 'duh' look. As if it is the most obvious thing in the world.

"He marked you! Now, I want details." She prances over and perches on the end of my bed.

I growl lowly in reply, hoping that that will get the point across that I don't want to talk about it.

Hannah looks at me with a confused glint in her chocolaty iris'. "What's wrong?" She asks.

I growl again before answering. "That prick marked me with out my permission! Because he couldn't control his hormones, we are at a higher risk of being found out." I seeth.

"Seriously? Wait-" She narrows her eyes at me playfully. "What were you doing that had him unable to control his hormones?" She smirks, the look on her face saying that she already knew what the answer was.

"We weren't doing anything. We just kissed briefly." I lie.

Hannah huffs. "Hunny, either you are a goddess that can entrance a man with one kiss- or you were doing a little more than 'kissing briefly.' " She put air quotes around the last two words.

I look down at my hands, trying to hold off the guilty blush. "It was nothing.." I whisper, hoping that she won't press any further. Like usual, my prayers are unanswered.

"Bull. Tell me what happened." She grabs my leg and starts to shake it impatiently.

I sigh in defeat and grunt. "Fine. I'll tell you-" I already get cut off by her excited squeal. "Are you done?" I ask her.

She nods her petite head and shifts to sit cross-legged in front of me.

"Well, we were talking and then we were kissing." I feel my cheeks heat up even more. "And. Um, then I was straddling him and we were kissing. Let me just say- wow. That boy has a set of lips. I may have been provoking him in some ways and then when I was distracted, he bloody marked me!" I felt slightly out of breath thinking about what had happened.

Hannah was flapping her arms like a crazy person and a silent scream escaping her mouth. "You were provoking him!? Oh em gee! This is so cute. Was it hot?" She asked, her eyes flashing with curiosity.

I had just opened my mouth to answer her when there was a knock on my door. Hannah waved me down and went to get the door for me.

What I was not expecting to see was my mate standing there in the hallway. Hannah smiled largely at him and turned to me.

"Oh, I guess I'll be going then." She winked at me as she came to hug me goodbye. Then, she whispered in my ear, "be safe, and don't be too rough on him." She pulled away and headed out the door, calling a 'have fun!' over her shoulder.

I grunted and buried my face in my pillow, embarrassed at what my friend just hinted at. Than I remembered that Adrian was standing there and I sit back up.

"Adrian? What do you need?" I ask, trying to ignore the way his eyes gleam sexily.

"Soph. I came to apologize again, really, I am killing myself over what I did. I had no right to  do that." As he spoke, Adrian closed the door and made his way over to me. He gently sat down on the comforter next to my knee.
