Chapter 46 FOURTY SEVEN
ROMAN’S POV
Roman stumbled back from the kick to his chest, he grunted in pain, holding on to the railing to keep his body upright.
Mr Castor wasn’t going easy on him at all, one would think it was a fight to death, rather than a training class.
He clenched his jaw, rubbing his aching chest before taking his stance. If the man wanted a serious fight, then Roman would give him one. Lord knows, he needed an outlet for all the pent up anger inside him.
Roman’s eyes were focused, following each movement Mr Castor made. He dunk down, just in time to miss another kick. Quickly, Roman stood up, taking Mr Castor by surprise as he kicked his other legs out, making the man stumble to the ground.
He jumped on him, punching wherever he could as Mr Castor tried to block him. The time out bell sounded, stopping their aggressive fight. Roman got up from the man, spitting out blood as a result of his split lips.
He glared at Mr Castor, wondering what the man's problem was. Did he recognize him? Was that why he wanted to fight him personally? Roman sighed, the answers to his questions were unclear for now.
Mr Castor announced the end of the class, glancing briefly at Roman before walking out.
“What was that back there?” Richie asked, as they opened up their locker, packing up their bags.
“What do you mean?” Roman asked him, confused about what he was asking about.
“I mean the fight between you and Mr Castor,” it was like you guys were fighting seriously and not training.
Roman didn’t say anything for a while, he made sure everything he needed was in his backpack, before strapping it over his shoulder.
“Look, I don't know what you mean.” It was just training for me, sure he might have gone harder than expected, but it’s nothing I can’t handle.
Richi glanced at him, before nodding his head.
They both walked out of the locker room, exiting the school building. Roman was tired, all he needed right now was to get to his dorm and relax.
They got to their dorm building, and coincidentally, Richie’s dorm room was right beside his. Roman simply rolled his eyes at the wide grin on Richie's face, before entering his own room.
He took his shower, brushing his teeth, before laying down on his bed. All he needed was for sleep to come.
Roma tossed and turned on his bed, before deciding to go down to the school library. Sleep wasn’t coming, no matter how exhausted he felt.
The best thing was to do something productive. He needed to find out more about having a double mate, hopefully, the school library had what he was looking for.
He dressed up in something simple, before leaving his dorm. Roman got to the library, stunned at how big it actually was. He groaned, where was he going to start from.
He browsed around for a while, before going towards the counter where an old lady was sitting behind.
“Please can I know the section where I could find books related to mate bonding?”
The woman whose name tag said Aliya, glanced up from the book she was reading. She regarded Roman for a while, before directing him to the section he could find what he wanted.
He walked around, briefly browsing into other books that might have caught his interest. Finally he found about three books talking about mates.
Roman took the books, signing them out, before walking back to his dorm room. He didn’t want to read them in the library, he wasn’t yet comfortable around, and didn’t want anyone knowing of his research.
By the time he got to his dorm room, Roman was bursting with anticipation. He hurried into his room, locking his door, before laying on the ground, the book he had gotten from the library in front of him.
Roman sighed for the upteenth time, everything in the two books he had read were all something he already knew. He picked up the third book, hoping that he would find answers in it.
Roman skimmed through the book hurriedly, he paused, returning back to the previous page he had passed. Something had caught his eyes, a picture of a female who was standing in between a lot of men.
Roman scanned the picture, before reading the words written under it.
It talked about a true Alpha, they were a stronger wolf, some saying they had been blessed specially by the moon goddess. They were given incredible strength and healing abilities, and apart from all this, had the ability to be mated to more than one person.
Roman sits up, resting his back against his bed as he reads more.
Another picture was by the side, it was an old drawing of a half turned wolf. Roman had seen Emily turn into something like this.
Was Emily a true Alpha? Roman thought, recalling that night.
He glanced out of his open window, the sky was already dark, with the moon shining brightly. Roman had been too engrossed in the book he was reading, to notice the time.
He gathered all the books together, before changing into his short. There was no need to put on too much cloth, he needed to let his wolf out anyways.
The school had a big forest one could run in. With a school full of restless werewolves, it was very much necessary.
He walked out of his dorm, strolling into the big forest behind. Roman breathed in the fresh air, before exhaling out. He changed into his wolf, his ears, perking up at the cricket sound ringing through the forest.
He walks slowly, enjoying the dirt beneath his paws. After a few minutes, Roman took off running, cold air ruffling through his furs.
He stopped in front of a small stream, the rays of moonlight dancing around the surface of the stream capturing his attention.
Voices, alerted Roman. He hid himself behind a tree, the darkness masking him. He watched as two people came into his focus, one was Mr Castor, and the other was someone he didn’t recognize. He watched as they discussed heatedly, Mr Castor pacing around.
Roman moved back, whatever this was, he didn’t want any part of it. He stilled as he stepped on a branch, the sound echoing through the silent forest. Mr Castor and the other man snapped their heads toward his direction, whatever they were discussing cut short.
Roman took off running, urging himself faster as resounding paws sounded behind him.
From nowhere, a thick brown wolf flung itself on him, making the both of them roll around for a while, before stopping.
The brown wolf got off from Roman, while the other black wolf stood guard. They both changed into their human form, before facing Roman who was baring his canine at them.
Mr Castor folded his strong hands over his chest, spreading out his legs as he took on a strong stance.
Shift!! Roman he commanded, or I make you.
Shit!!!! “How did he know it was me?” Roman thought, before shifting back into his human form, taking a strong stance as well as they both stared themselves down.
