ALPHA'S ENDLESS REGRET: After The Barren Luna's Leave novel Chapter 90

The stare down between me and Agnrs seemed to go on for ages. I didn't think I could hate someone as much I disliked Tina but she was coming in pretty close.

Her eyes which had raised in shock were now fixed on me, a warning glimmer fixed deep in them. Arthur seemed vaguely aware of the silent show down transpiring between us. After a while, he turned back to me and nodded.

With that, he took that as his sign to continue forward. The look on his face spoke volumes of indifference as he passed by Agnrs without so much of a glimpse.

I didn't bother stopping to look at her any longer, about to follow in his wake. Agnrs had come here for some reason, probably to achieve some twisted goal of her but it didn't mean I was going to give her that.

"Elder Arthur."

That got my teacher to stop. Agnrs came up to me, her gaze occasionally flickering to me before she turned back to him again.

"I want to talk to you about something important." She said to him.

Her gaze briefly flickered on me, indicating she probably wanted to talk somewhere private. Arthur didn't look too keen on moving any other place.

"Well, let's hear it then." Arthur put his hands behind his back.

Agnrs let out a breath before she pointed a finger at me. "This woman right here is unfit to work under the tutelage of someone as esteemed as yourself."

Arthur cocked his head. "And why's that?"

"Her character is too bad. I don't believe it's fit for the standards we expect in this Academy." Agnrs continued, her voice carrying the hate she had for me.

I wanted to butt into the conversation, possibly defend myself if I could. But doing that didn't seem all that good now. The confrontation I'd had with Agnrs in public was still there. It hadn't been long since that happened.

I was in school now. Any false misstep and I could be withdrawn. I'd already come a long way to let that happen now.

Arthur's gaze turned to me briefly. His eyes were dark and unreadable, leaving me with the nerves that were still eating at me without mercy. He turned back Agnrs.

"Is that all you have to say?"

I didn't bother disputing any of what he said. Truthfully, the school looked like it had been here for some time so what he said had a lot of meaning.

I stared at his back as we moved on. My mind trailed back to the conversation we'd had with Agnrs. I'd expected him to at least listen to what she'd said but he hadn't seemed keen on hearing any of her words.

A part of me wanted to ask why his relationship with Agnrs was so bad but I kept my lips screwed shut.

Now was not the time. And even still, it was none of my business. Meddling in my teacher's affairs wouldn't seem good for me.

I let out a breath and started making recordings of what Arthur was saying. Maybe if I got back home, I could listen to it. It'd be helpful in understanding the history behind the many areas in the Royal Academy.

The recording had taken all my focus that I almost didn't realize Arthur's wolf was there until he let out a growl.

My whole body instinctively flinched back. I'd been so close to stepping on him. The only thing I could hear was the sound of my heart beating fast.

Arthur simply laughed. "Careful now. Don't get to carried away and end up stepping on my poor wolf."
