Chapter 119: Die To Date Them

"You have a meeting with Richmond?" Alaric asked with disbelief, as though the idea was entirely ridiculous.

"Yes, Richmond," Violet confirmed. And yes, it was the same Richmond, who was free to have relations with his students. Violet clearly remembered Mary’s words.

Alaric raised a skeptical eyebrow. "Like... right now?"

Violet glanced at her phone to double-check the message. "Yes, like right now."

"What a crazy coincidence, don’t you think?" Alaric said, his voice carrying a suspicious undertone.

Violet’s forehead wrinkled, her thoughts immediately turning over his words. Was Alaric suggesting the meeting had been scheduled intentionally? But why? And more importantly, who would go to the trouble of arranging..... ? Her stomach sank as the answer hit her.

Oh no.

It couldn’t be him... could it? Violet didn’t want to believe that Asher would take the time to comb through her schedule and notice the class she missed just to reschedule it. Surely, he wouldn’t go that far... right?

Except, the churning feeling in her gut told her otherwise. If anyone had the time, resources, and obsessive tendencies to pull it off, it was Asher. After all, he had done everything possible to get her into this school. Setting up a meeting for her would be child’s play.

Her eyes met Alaric’s, and she could tell from his expression that he was thinking the exact same thing. They hadn’t yet addressed how Asher’s influence and obsession with her might affect their fragile new relationship. Asher was a touchy subject they couldn’t unpack right now.

Alaric clearly thought so, too, because instead of voicing his suspicions, he chose to sweep it under the carpet as he rose to his feet instead and walked towards Violet.

He placed his hands on her shoulders, a wolfish grin on his face.

"Good thing Richmond has a reputation for being late to his appointments. That gives me enough time to send you off with a little goodbye gift." _{freewebnoveℓ.com}

From the dark promise in his eyes and the husky tone of his voice, Violet didn’t need to guess what he meant. Her heart skipped a beat, pounding in anticipation of what he had in store. Still, Violet wasn’t one to let anyone have the last word.

"Let’s hope it’s up to my taste, then."

Alaric’s smirk deepened into a slow, dangerous smile, the kind that made her stomach flip. In his eyes, Violet could see the glimpse of his wolf rising to meet her challenge. It was like he’d been waiting for her to say those exact words.

Before Violet could react, Alaric moved with inhuman speed, scooping her off the ground in one fluid motion causing her to yelp in surprise.

He carried her to his bed, the mattress dipping beneath her weight as she propped herself up on her elbows, her heart pounding. Alaric didn’t hesitate as he followed after her, his body caging her and his eyes locked onto hers with a smoldering intensity.

The air was taut with tension, the kind that made Violet’s breath hitch and her pulse to race. Unable to stand it anymore, she lifted her face to kiss him but Alaric looked away.

Instead, Alaric shifted onto his side, his hand resting lightly on her exposed thigh. His touch sent a shiver down her spine, and when he leaned in, his voice was low and husky. "We’ve kissed enough. For now, I want to feel your slickness."
