(Alexander)
I sat at the front of the classroom, trying to focus on the lecture I was supposed to be giving. But my eyes kept drifting to Selene. She was looking at me with that confident gaze of hers.
Her boldness in that boardroom today… it had gotten to me in a way I didn’t expect. I was proud of her, proud of how she stood up for herself. The way she handled the Deans, especially Thatcher, with nothing but confidence. It moved something inside me. Made me want to claim her even more, to make it known that she was mine, that no one could ever make her doubt it. I had always known she was strong, but today she made me see just how much. She wasn’t just a student. She wasn’t just a woman I was with. She was my mate, and I would make sure the entire world knew that.
