Chapter 10

ALEXIS POV

Ping ping. My phone notification sounded, making me squint my eyes.

Checking my phone, I noticed it was from the college forum.

‘Hey, the founder of the university has come’

‘He is pretty handsome’

I read, rolling my eyes before scrolling to the last notification.

‘My professor told me he will be visiting the biotechnology department first because he is very fond of it’

‘I can't wait to meet him. My friends say they had entered the corridor’ was the last comment in the thread and I couldn't help but pause in my steps

Biotechnology department? What will a murderer like him do in the biotechnology department?

‘Wait. Don't tell me he is sponsoring some wolfsbane project in the name of invention’ I thought, my eyes going wide with the thought of it.

Whatever he was doing, I'm sure he's up to no good.

But the main question is, should I go and take this lecture or wait for him to exit the department?

Why? Because I was studying Biotechnology. It was my favorite course and I loved it.

I was standing in the middle of the corridor contemplating if I should enter the next corridor that would lead to the biotechnology department or not when I smelled it.

The scent of wolves.

Lifting my eyes from my phone, I looked at five pairs of eyes that were looking my way with a mixture of confusion and suspicion.

Can I get a second chance at life, please? Or can someone make me go 20 minutes back in time so I can run away from here?

‘‘No sweetie, none can happen. You and I both need to face this,’’ Ariana said, making me roll my eyes at her.

‘‘Well, thanks miss obvious,’’ I said, before at the front again.

SABASTIAN POV

‘‘Alpha, we are ready to go,’’ I heard my Beta's voice, making me nod at him before I turned to check my reflection one last time.

‘‘Does your reflection matter when you are going to do nothing? Either kill him or lock that lawbreaker ‘were’ in the dungeon,’’ my wolf said, making me roll my eyes at him.

What will a wolf like him understand? He is not the one who has to look presentable at all times. Going around naked without a shame in the world.

‘‘I am going there as the founder of the university, not a rogue killing alpha, remember?’’ I scoffed.

Checking my reflection one last time, I nodded to myself before wearing my shades and exiting the room.

Honestly, I don't know what I'll do to this werewolf, or criminal to be precise. For a ‘were’ to live amongst humans was unheard of. And if he is living with the humans for so long, then he must have his reasons for that. But we can't deny the fact that he indeed broke the law by committing such a thing. Living with humans? I will surely teach him a good lesson today.

However, the thing that amazed me more than the fact that even though our pack's patrol had been visiting this university from time to time, no one was able to identify the smell and recognize him. How is that possible?

A werewolf can hide its scent in only three ways. First, if he is associated with witches and a witch helped him hide the scent. Second, if he's a lantern with no werewolf qualities, i.e., a human born among werewolves. Or if he has the scent pendant that hides a person's scent.

Since it was a member of the council who gave me the tip about werewolves living among humans, the third one can't be possible because only council members have the authority over those pendants.

According to me, the second possibility seems more feasible than the first one. Maybe he was born a human, and thus, he didn't want to live with werewolves and came to live with humans.

No matter which way he's using to hide today, he's dead.

‘‘Alpha, we are here,’’ Blake said, pulling me out of my thoughts.

‘‘Okay,’’ I said before getting out of the car, looking at the university that was found by me under my parent's name. It's been a long time since I last visited this.

Turning around, I looked at the guys before nodding at them.

Along with me and my Beta, my third in command, Luke, Jason, Alex, and Peter were here.

‘‘Let's go,’’ I said before moving into the main hall of the university, where the chancellor was probably already waiting for us.

And just as I guessed, he was standing there with a large bouquet and a larger smile on his face.

Well, at least someone was happy with our random visit. However, I would like to see how the werewolf would react when he sees me.

‘‘Mr Sinclair, what honor did we receive your surprise visit?’’ He said with quirked brows.

‘‘No occasion. I just wanted to see how the uniwis doing. It's been three years since I last visited, right? I also wanted to see the biotechnology department today. I want to know how the equipment is doing and if they are well used or not. They are my loved ones,’’ I said, remembering how my mother was always busy with research and other things related to different herbs.

‘‘Sure, why not? How about we first talk about the progress of the departments, then I'll guide you through all the departments, starting with biotechnology?’’ He said, making me shake my head.

With that, I immediately started moving to the biotechnology department with the chancellor tagging behind me. I am here to catch a werewolf, I came to waste any time.

The reason why I had come here myself and found the hidden werewolf was that being the strongest alpha out there, my senses were ten times stronger than the normal alphas. Even the slightest change in a person's scent was enough for me to detect the species of that person. A thing that I was naturally gifted with. Let's see what magic, pendant, or qualities will save the wolf from me.

Walking towards the biotechnology department, I stopped midway when I smelled a weird scent wrapped with lavender and roses.

The scent of a werewolf.
