No. Way.
She swallowed. “Alessandro Moretti?”
The wolf’s familiar green eyes gleamed with amusement, as if asking if she knew any other Alessandro who shapeshifted, and Kassia’s cheeks flamed even as her head continued to spin with disbelief.
Alessandro Moretti had turned into a wolf.
The wolf staring at her now was Alessandro Moretti.
She pinched her arm, as hard as she could, just to make sure she wasn’t dreaming. It hurt, but it didn’t make the world around her waver.
This was real then.
She was in love with a professor who had turned out to be a werewolf.
Pain struck her head, as if the thought of the professor being a werewolf was too much for her brain.What if this was all an elaborate million-dollar prank, Kassia wondered wildly. Maybe, if she asked him to do it again, the professor would be forced to reveal the truth.
Yes, that was it. This was a prank. It had to be.
“Change back,” she blurted out before she could think better of what she was asking.
The wolf inclined its head to the side, as if contemplating the validity of her request. A second later, the wolf disappeared, and a completely naked Alessandro Moretti stood before her.
Kassia jumped back in terror. “Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.” She knew she was freaking out, but she couldn’t help it. “Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.” Had she really just seen that? No, she couldn’t have. She was imagining things. Heartbreak had made her delirious. Or high. Whichever. This couldn’t be—-
When the professor took a step towards her, she screamed again. “Stop!’
The professor stilled.
“Change back.”
The professor turned into a wolf.
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!
“Change back to a human.”
The naked professor returned.
She still couldn’t believe it, and she found herself ordering him to shift forms again.
Wolf, man, wolf, man, wolf, man—-
Alessandro had had enough after he changed for thetenthtime. “Dammit, Kassia, stop making me shift like you’re asking a dog to play dead.”
A nervous, shrill giggle escaped her at the unexpected words, and as she watched the professor bend down to pick up his clothes from the floor, her heartbeat gradually decelerated, and she started breathing again.
When the professor was fully dressed, appearing as handsome and elegant as he had always been, she almost felt like pinching herself again. Had it really happened?
Alessandro saw Kassia start to open her mouth, and his eyes narrowed. Just one look at her expressive face told him exactly what she was planning to ask, and he said immediately, “No.” He shook his head in exasperation. “I’m not a fucking Transformer.”
She choked back a laugh. “N-no. You’re definitely no Transformer. You’re more like a Wolve—-” She shut up when she saw the professor glaring at her.
“Try to say that one more time,” he warned pleasantly, “and I’ll bite a chunk out of you.Got it?”
She remembered his fangs and paled. “Yes, sir.” She couldn’t say it fast enough. She expected him to laugh or even just smile, but instead the professor remained silent, his gaze brooding but unreadable.
Never a patient man like his twin, Alessandro forced himself to stay still and wait. As the seconds passed, he watched Kassia’s nervousness visibly turn into unease, with the way her brown eyes darkened and she started biting the tips of her hair again. He could read her every thought as various emotions flitted over her face, and he knew the exact moment when the truth hit her, and the need to ask became inevitable—-
