CHAPTER 242
~Valerie's POV~
Right after I confirmed who they were—Isla and our young, dangerously attractive Physics Professor—I didn't know what to think.
Shock coursed through me like ice and fire tangled together.
A part of me wanted to turn around and confront her, ask her what the hell she was doing, knowing this could put her in trouble, but another part… didn't want to know the answer.
My phone vibrated in my hand, yanking me out of the trance.
Ash:Hey, Val. Meet us opposite the East Wing courtyard, at the new renovated classroom at the back—project time. Don't run, either, we're waiting.
Of course. Physics project. With the Lycan Twins. Great timing, universe.
I closed the lab door just a little harder than necessary, making sure it swung shut with a noise loud enough to announce my presence.
I even coughed—lightly—just in case they were listening and needed a reason to pretend they hadn't been caught.
