Claimed by My Bully Alpha

Chapter 114

Aurora’s POV

I felt my heart thrash uncontrollably in my chest at his offer. Was he serious? The mere thought of going back to scheet itself was terrifying bly

I honestly never had any plans on going to college all my life. When we were still living at my father’s house, the only though on my mind was to hell out of town as soon as I finished school and take Riley with me, so I could get a better job somewhere else, even if it was at a Metoriatds of Tast–food joint as a waitress or a cleaner, and hope that Riley had a better shot at a future than I ever did.

But now…with Caleb sitting in front of me, offering me a dream that had seemed impossible all my life…I didn’t know if I was capable of doing hur he

said.

Unconsciously, my hand went to my neck, the place where Caleb had marked me. The crescent moon shaped mark was now a permanent tation on my skin. but it was tiny, almost invisible to the naked eyes unless someone was paying close attention. But what it provided me was this constant feeling that i wasn’t alone anymore.

“Why didn’t you tell Riley you quit school?” Caleb asked suddenly, breaking me out of my thoughts.

“I’ve been avoiding telling Riley that I quit,” I swallowed past the lump in my throat, feeling suddenly vulnerable. “I didn’t want him to know that his sister didn’t even finish high school. He’s five, I’ll have plenty of time to tell him, but…I don’t know, Caleb. The last two years had been horrible; I hadn’t had the time to concentrate on school work since the debtors kept knocking on the door, and I had to start working at the diner. I had to teach Riley everything from scratch: how to read, how to write…and after everything, I just didn’t have time for me anymore. And now, my studied have suffered significantly and I don’t think I can get back my grades to finish school let alone get into college.”

I don’t know why, but opening up to Caleb felt natural. Safe. It felt like I could be myself with him without the fear that he’ll judge me for my weaknesses. Maybe it was a mate thing?

“I’ll help you.” Caleb reassured me, taking my hand to give it a gentle squeeze. “You don’t have to worry about anything else anymore, no debtors, no work and not dedicating all your time to Riley. I promise to be there with you every step of the way. We’ll get through this, Aurora…together.*

“That’s easy for you to say.” I frowned. “You and your heightened IQ and wolfy powers.”

Caleb’s eyes suddenly widened when he heard me say that, and before I could process what was happening…he burst out laughing.

“What?” I defended, even as my cheeks coloured in embarrassment.

But that didn’t stop the laughter. He all but fell back on the bed, clutching his stomach as he kept on laughing uncontrollably, the sound more amusing than mocking, and even though I felt embarrassed, I couldn’t help but smile at him either.

What was it? What did I say wrong? Did I say something stupid? Backtracking in my mind I tried to find faults in my theory but I couldn’t come up with anything. Werewolves did have higher IQ than humans…didn’t they? I mean…Caleb and all his friends were straight A students for crying out loud!

But as I watched Caleb finally try and catch his breath with a hand on his tummy, I realized that my knowledge about the supernatural was ever worse than my knowledge in organic chemistry and calculus, but it was a pleasure to watch Caleb laugh so openly.
