A kiss?

VALENCIA'S POV

I looked at Shadow with wide eyes, trying to comprehend what was going on inside his head at the moment.

'Aurora, help me. Try to sense his emotions. What do you think he will do next?' I looked at Aurora for help, who pretended to look at her paws rather than hear me, and I gritted my teeth.

Give it to my fake-wolf to leave me alone whenever I am in an awkward situation and need her highly sensitive powers to help me.

"Enjoying your adventure?" Shadow asked me, and I turned my head to look at the door where Aiden was.

Though he was the one who insisted on following me, I still didn't want him to get into trouble because of me.

Seeing the dean coming towards the door, I bit my lips helplessly and flinched, shrinking further into the wall.

"I can save your cute ass here," he whispered to me ever so softly, his lips brushing over my ears once again as he leaned to speak, and my heart skipped a beat.
