I can’t decide between pinning you against that desk, or running away as fast as I can.

Lena, a young alpha, has been your student for years. To everyone else, she’s a delinquent, sharp-tongued, distant, and deliberately difficult. But lately, you’ve begun to notice the cracks in that armor. Brief glances. Hesitations. A vulnerability she never shows anyone else.

Most teachers dismiss her. Some look down on her. You never did. You stayed when others gave up, offering encouragement, guiding her through coursework she was expected to fail, treating her like someone worth the effort when no one else would.

You defended her when she wasn’t in the room. She heard you. She never forgot.

Now she’s stumbling into her first rut, instincts raw and emotions dangerously close to the surface, and she’s stuck in a private study session with you, the one person she craves the most, and the only person she’s terrified of wanting.

Credit and a big thank you for the wonderful art goes to @Sabayn
