I left the cabin and walked to the shadow teachers, who were kind of volunteers for today.
They informed me that Professor Wilson was very busy, which meant that I could hand over everything to them. I did what they said and went back to my friends.
I worked really hard on my project. During each academic year, a chosen group of students were given the opportunity to exhibit projects that were intended to showcase their capabilities. After observing all of the presentations, the chief guest would select the one that made the most impression.
“Done submitting?” My other friend, Nolan, asked.
“Yeah.”
“Best of luck,” Sara said. Nolan nodded his head in agreement. I thanked them.
When I started to think about what I would say during the presentation, my mind started to wander. There was only one hour left before the event was scheduled to begin.
Right then, this was my life.
I studied hard so that I could have a happy future with my mother.
When it was time for the exhibition, everyone started to go to the auditorium.
It was a place that was approximately fifty square meters across. There was enough for close to five hundred students to sit there.
The auditorium had a superb layout and decor. The stage was connected to the light bridge, and the light bridge was connected to the rear wall. Ceiling and wall treatments reflect this. The huge stage was present, along with a sound box of superior quality and a well-functioning projector.
I sat down with my friends in the section on the left side.
The first few seats in the front row were vacant, and I couldn’t help but feel anxious as I looked at them.
However, to my surprise, my wolf started to howl for no reason.
I frowned. ‘What happened to my wolf?’
It brought back memories of the last time my wolf reacted in such a manner, which was when I found my mate.
Suddenly, my mind began to jumble together recollections from old memories.
In these six months, Alpha Bryan had never contacted me. I also did not tell anyone about our mate bond.
“May I have your attention, please?” A senior-year student spoke into the microphone.
I emerged from my thoughts and gazed at the stage.
Everyone focused their attention on the stage.
The dean of our university approached the stage and took the microphone to say a few words.
“I am pleased to organize this year’s presentation competition. May the best person win!”
Everyone began clapping. His speech was lengthy, emphasizing how successful our former students were after graduating from this university.
A few minutes later, he nodded his head as if someone mind linked him to inform him about something.
“Our chief guest has arrived at our university. He is on the way. He is the most powerful man with whom everyone wants to meet for once. So, I thought he’d be the greatest person to analyze you all. We are quite lucky that he accepted our invitation. We’ll be blessed to meet him.”
Everyone was taken aback as he spoke, as if they realized who he was talking about.
It sounded like the man really had great power in the business world. Otherwise, our dean was a really strict man. He did not even care about Bruce’s status and sometimes tried to discipline him, although he was from the royal family.
“Here he is! Please give a round of applause.”
I turned around to see who the successful businessman was that our dean was nonchalantly praising.
But the moment my eyes fell on the person, I was stunned.
Our dean spoke out once again, but this time with a shaky tone.
“Welcome to the Night Shade University, Alpha Bryan.”
My heart almost stopped beating. The aura this man had was something else.
With his well-built body, he was displaying a strong sense of authority. The black suit he was in fitted his body really well.
A power of dominance was screaming out of him!
Almost instantly, everyone stood up and bowed their heads to Bryan. While he was making his way to the front seats, his eyes, which were dark and sinister, were gazing around.
While they were bowing, the girls were looking at him with a curious glance. As they began to experience feelings of submission, a few of them narrowly avoided falling to their knees. During this time, the boys appeared to be terrified.
Bryan was not alone. He was accompanied by two other individuals, neither of whom I was familiar with. A large number of bodyguards were standing behind him. I wished for a little moment that I could meet my brother. However, he did not bring his gamma by his side. His officials were not working in his company. So it saddened me.
“Sophia, bow down hurriedly.” I heard a whisper from next to me.
I turned my head beside me. Sara gestured to me with her eyes.
When I looked around, I noticed that I was the only person who hadn’t yet bowed. Because I was in the corner, I was fortunate enough to go unnoticed.
I hastily bowed my head.
“Raise.”
I heard his voice from a little distance away. Everyone lifted their heads as their Alpha ordered it.
Everyone let out a sigh of relief at the same time.
On the other hand, I started to feel different. I was nearly tempted to sniff to get another whiff of his scent, as if it had just passed near me.
“Are you okay?” Sara asked me.
I closed my eyes tightly and gave her a nod.
‘Focus, Sophia. Focus,’ I reminded myself.
When I opened my eyes, my eyes immediately drew to the man who was my mate, but he never gave a glance at me for once.
His handsome face with a cold attitude made me remember how he spoke to me when he found out about our mate bond.
I wondered if his wolf reacted the same way mine was reacting.
Bryan did not get onto the stage to give any speeches. He sat directly on the seat that was reserved for him. His men sat beside him.
Suddenly, people started to whisper.
“So our chief guest was Alpha Bryan Morrison!”
“How could we not realize? We should have understood why Dean hid the identity of the guest. He was baffled about whether he would come or not.”
“I bet he came here for his brother Bruce.”
“But Bruce didn’t participate in this competition.”
“Ignore the reason. Just look at him. Dean told the truth. Being able to see him is a blessing. He is such a handsome man!”
“I just can’t seem to keep hold of myself. Make him at least take me as his slave. I can give him my whole.”
“He is single. I heard his ex-fiancee leave the pack when he broke the engagement with her.”
“I wish I could be with him.”
I was listening to the gossip that was being whispered by other girls behind me. My eyes remained on Bryan.
I did not know why, but I did not feel good when I heard other girls talking about getting close to him.
Why was I feeling like this? We had nothing between us. I used to date his younger brother. For what reason would I ever feel this way? For me, it was not a good thing.
“Let’s get started with our presentations,” Professor Wilson announced on the microphone.
One by one, students started giving presentations on their various projects.
Some of them talked about the marketing of products, some of them spoke of the new products, and some of them talked about the construction business.
