Beep beep beep! Beep beep beep! Beep beep beep!

'Good morning honey' a soft peck landed on her neck as she woke up from sleep,

'Good morn...' she drew in a breath to scream,

'Don't you even think about screaming again' and she stopped, her mouth open as she slow breathed out. Taking a deep sigh, she stood up from her bed and went to the bathroom. Pressing goo of toothpaste on her brush, she placed it under the running tap and started brushing her teeth.

'You squeeze your toothpaste tub from the middle... I just knew it' he said from the door arms folded with on leg leaning on the door frame and she turned giving him the stink eye,

'knew what?'

'nothing, now please spit that out. Don't you feel shy with all that in front of me' he waved at her face and she shrugged,

'You are the one trespassing, so what you see is really none of my business' she spat into the sink and stared at him.

'speaking of things I see; I've being wanting to say this since yesterday night'

'hmm?'

'your nightie is black and sexy...quite... sexy'

She looked down at the chiffon black gown she wore... with absolutely nothing beneath and her eyes bulged, 'GET OUT!'

As she walked into school, more gossips were heard all about. There was the one of how a warrior found out his mate wasn't a virgin or how a gamma must have been repulsed to have an omega for a mate although he accepted her or the most talked about, of the shy alpha of Dark knight pack who was hardly seen, how he was quiet and rumor even had it that he was mistakenly bumped into and stepped on but he apologized to the delta who did it. He was known to hide in his room all day and only came out when there was the alphas committee meeting. Lucy sniffed the air as Susan walked past her to her seat in the teachers' office,

'Susan! I see you finally got yourself a boyfriend!' she gave an incredulous look and snorted, 'that's good, you shouldn't remain alone forever. Your mate might already be with another so just go with this one... he smells capable'

Susan looked around and sniffed herself only smelling the cherry perfume she used in the morning.

'he's not my boyfriend' she grumbled quietly knowing Lucy could hear her anyway and so could the other people present in the teaching staff room at that time.

'then... a one night stand?' Lucy raised an eyebrow and Susan noticed the whole room silenced immediately, all ears pointed in her direction, 'cause he really made sure to mark you with his scent. I can almost not smell you' she wrinkled her nose, 'didn't you bath this morning?'

Knowing she just made it to the list for gossip that week anyway, she went to class receiving taunts from Dylan and also throwing hers back.

... As long as she was still his teacher she had the upper hand.

For now.

................

The disappointment that coursed through her when she took in a lungful of air to rant at the stranger only to meet a silent, dark and neatly arranged house was unexpected and unexplainable.

Without her consciously knowing, she slept in the living room. Waiting for the familiar whining that in just two days managed to work its way into a corner of her heart.

................

Four days passed by painfully slow, and she began to miss the green eyed man who had brought noise to her quiet life in two days. Cruel jokes and whisperings were already been passed around school of how she had a one night stand and was dumped like trash afterwards. The female teachers gave her derogatory looks for not bothering to wait for her mate and the male teachers became bold and vulgar in their conversations to her.
