What is wrong with me

SABASTIAN POV

She left

Her long brown hair waved like long waves of the ocean, and I couldn't help but look at them mesmerized. I was mesmerized by her out-of-the-world beauty. 

What is this? Do I have a fetish for long hair? But then again, her body figure was no less appealing if I didn't know better.

Was she a witch? A witch who was living under the disguise of a lantern. But if she was, why the hell would she come here to live out of all the places? She was not a witch, that was sure. But how was she that appealing and beautiful? That to be without her wolf?

I have seen my share of beautiful women, and there was no doubt about that, but the thing that was confusing me right now was the fact that I was feeling enchanted with her. 

If I hadn't found my mate, then I would have thought she was my mate. But now that I knew my mate was dead, this kind of attraction towards another she-wolf was lethal to me. That is when I knew she might be somewhere waiting for her. The pure faint scent on her body was a sign that she hadn't mated to anyone, which means she is yet to find her mate. 

''What kind of problem have I gotten myself into?'' I groaned aloud to myself. 

''Alpha, alpha,'' I heard voices around me, making me look at them with a quirked brow. 

''We have been calling you for long. You were not listening. Don't tell me you plan on taking my name as yours forever. It's not the case, right?'' Blake asked, making me look at him blankly. 

Honestly, even though I don't know why I made up this name, it was like an impulse.

An impulse that I could control and that wanted to find out more about that girl. 

Apart from this weird attraction towards her, there was something else that was quite unnerving

If she is a lantern as she said, then her scent would've been very faint in comparison to other wolves. 

What does she need a pendant for?

I know that the council had been helping lanterns these past few days because their occurrence was really rare, and were afraid they'd be bullied. 

But why would they go to the extent of giving a lantern a scent pendant to hide its scent? Does that mean that Mark guy knew about this lantern that is living among humans under the disguise of being a human herself?

And if yes, who was that guy who gave us the tips about her?

If the council was helping her, then why would they want to expose her cover at the same time?

Many questions were surfacing in my mind and the only way to know the truth was from either the lantern Mark. 

''Mr Sabastian, why did you stop suddenly? The biotechnology department is this way. Let me introduce you to our students. Their class must be starting soon,'' the chancellor whom I had forgotten, gushed, making me look at him briefly.

If he introduces us in front of everyone, then he'll use our real name. And even if he doesn't use my real name, he will at least tell them that I am the founder of the university, which means my power will be exposed today itself.

Who doesn't know that the founder of the university is called Sabastian? And the lantern will surely get alerted when she knows about my real identity. 

If I want to know the truth about her, then I need to make her believe I am not an alpha and I won't hurt her.

I can't let my cover get blown just like that.

''Don't,'' I commanded, making the chancellor stop I'm his tracks before he looked at me with a questioning gaze

''Don't introduce us. I don't want the students to feel alerted because of us. Just tell them that we are from the side of the founders,'' I commanded. And though it was clear that he didn't understand my explanation, he complied with my command nonetheless. 

Entering the class, my eyes searched for the lantern that had been questioning my sanity for the last few minutes. It was mt long before I spotted her sitting in the farthest corner of the room with a guy who seemed like he was talking to her about something.

Her focus was on that boy right now, I don't think she noticed us being there. 

As the chancellor started his introduction, I looked at her eyes shifting from that boy to me before her eyes became wide.

Her widened eyes with the agape mouth were so cute that I couldn't help but smile inwardly. I don't know why but the panic in her eyes was kind of unsettling me in a good way, and I felt like I needed to enjoy more of that.

The way she squinted her brows as if thinking hard while her gaze focused on us was so cute that for a moment, I wanted to go over there and pull her cheeks, or maybe grip her neck to make her panic even more.

I was enjoying the fear and panic in her eyes when I saw her gaze shifting from me back to that boy who had placed his hand on top of hers, making her smile before she nodded her head at me.

She smiled at him reassuringly. Don't tell me this lantern is not only breaking laws by studying in a human school but is also dating a human.

Dating a human? Was he her mate?

Was that the reason why she was living among them without a care in the world? If that was true, then why would she panic seeing me? There were no rules about dating a human if he/she is a mate of the werewolf.

But then again, her scent was still so pure, which indicated she had still not been intimate with anyone. 

And if he was not her mate, then why would they be so intimate?

The girl was so full of unpredictable questions, and she was already giving me a headache even though we just met a few minutes ago.

Looks like I need to settle here for some time.

''Alpha, the chancellor has been looking for you for some time now. He wants you to speak at the podium,'' I heard my Beta's voice through the mind link, making me look at him with a nod.

Improving my expression, I looked at the chancellor, nodding in agreement.

Going near the podium, I took the mic in my hand, my gaze focusing on the girl I was aiming for before I started speaking.

''Hello students, I am Blake, the right-hand of the founder of the university and also a co-founder. I know our visit today was a surprise for all of you and not all of you were happy with it because the chancellor had threatened you with a points demerit if you didn't attend, right?'' I asked, making the chancellor who was standing beside me, cough loudly, and that lantern, hiding her face behind her notebook, as if knowing I was aiming at her.

''Well, I am sorry for that. I will surely scold the chancellor for putting on such a strict rule. However, studies are as important to you as other things, no?''

''The biotechnology department has always been one of my favorite departments,''

''To help you guys with your academics and check that you guys are studying properly, I'll be taking your lectures from time to time, and I want the same strength of people as today in all my lectures, is that clear?'' I asked.

''Alpha, what are you doing?''

''Alpha, please think before you speak,''

''Alpha let's discuss this first before we make any decisions,''

''Alpha, what about the meeting with__''

My mind link was filled with my friend's questions. And I couldn't help but curse inwardly when I realized what the hell I just did.
