“Do you mean how much load he shot out that day?”
She glared at him. “Stop twisting my words.”
“Then stop forcing me to talk about my brother’s love life.”
“When do you think you’ll propose to me, Professor?”
The sudden question had him choking.
“When you do, you must be as romantic as your brother—-ah!” All of a sudden, Alessandro was down on one knee in front of her, and Kassia’s breath caught when she saw one of the professor’s hands was hidden behind his back.
Was this it,Kassia wondered, fearful and excited at the same time. It had been two years since they had started going out, and every new day always seemed to manage to be better than the last. Life wasn’t perfect, of course. There was her mother, incarcerated and still unwilling to cooperate. And somewhere in this world, her mother’s mysterious lover, Mel, still lurked. But even so, she couldn’t remember being this happy—-
“Kassia?”
The professor’s husky, accented voice made her heart race, and her entire body trembled as their eyes met. “P-professor?”
The professor pulled out something from behind him.
Her eyes widened.
It was...nota ring.
SWAT!
“Ow,” Kassia exclaimed as the professor swatted her forehead with his paper scroll.
“That’s for your disgusting hero worship of my brother.”
“But he’s—-oww!”
“That’s for filling your head with nonsense when you’re about to fail another subject.”
She made a face. “It’s not my fault that horrible teacher wants to fail me—-”
“Pass your subject and we’ll see,” the professor murmured.
She continued hotly, “I honestly think she’s jealous and...” She stopped, the professor’s words only sinking in just now.Pass her subject and they’ll see what?She turned around, but the professor was suddenly nowhere to be found.
“Are you actually playing hide and seek with me?” she demanded. Hurrying towards the table for a clue, Kassia had the fright of her life when she saw the professor in his Lyccan form, hidden under his desk, green eyes gleaming.
“Oh my God, you keep wanting to give me a heart attack,” she accused.
The wolf nodded.
She was about to berate him when the wolf lifted one paw up, and that was when she saw it.
A box.
She sank to her knees.
The wolf pushed the box towards her.
She opened the box with shaking hands, and she had no words to say, her mind a complete blank when she saw the ring inside it.
“Oh God, Professor.”
Stepping out from under the desk, the wolf nuzzled her face as if asking the most intimate of questions with whispered words from its heart.Will you marry me?
