Even more embarrassed

Lucian stared at the girls for a few more seconds and said," Get in, there is nothing to confirm.... accept one thing" His words were cold and indifferent as he turned around and returned back to his position.

Ariana and Julianna heaved out a sigh of relief and quickly entered the class and took their seats respectively.

Lucian resumed the class and went on teaching while his eyes examined the students attentively.

Ariana's words kept replaying in his mind. 'Some leech tried to bully them' those words itself made him puff his chest proudly as he came to notice one thing about Ariana and that was she wasn't scared of anyone.

Soon the class got over and Lucian turned to leave but stopped and turned his head in Ariana's direction.

"Ariana, I would be waiting for you in the parking" With that he walked away leaving everyone around speechless.

Ariana could only cover her face in embarrassment when she felt everyone's eyes on her. She didn't think Lucian would specifically come to tell her that he will be accompanying her home and that too in front of his students.

'This is so embarrassing' she cried mentally when someone poked her arm and she jerked out of her awkwardness.

Julianna smiled at her cute reaction as she watched her blink her eyes in confusion.

"Aren't you leaving? I would suggest you don't delay much before Professor Donovan comes and take you out of the class" Julianna playfully teased her as she helped Ariana pack her back and drag her confused soul out of the class.

While the two girls were happily leaving, there were four more people who weren't happy with their smiles.

Griffin who noticed everything that happened in front of him sneered. He didn't like the way Lucian looked at Ariana or vice versa and that made him hate them even more.

He tried to approach the girl but she left him hanging which made him feel humiliated. No girl had ever turned their back on him. He had always got what he wanted but this one particular girl left him dejected by her straightforward behavior.

Getting up he was about to leave when someone blocked his way and he looked at the person with fierce eyes. "Why is your mood so down Griff" Remy asked as she stood in front of him.

Her eyes bored into his fierce one and she let out a playful chuckle," Was it the new girl who rejected you right on your face" her words made Griffin boil in anger.

"Get the hell out of my way Remy. I am in no good mood today" Griffin stated and took a step to walk but was stopped when Remy held his wrist.

"If you want I can ease your mood just for old-time sakes" running her finger through the side of his face, she smirked sensually.

Everyone knew Remy and Griffin dated each other briefly until he lost interest in her and both parted ways. But for Remy, she was still open to giving him the care he needed.

Griffin jerked her hand from his face and shot a glare at her. "I don't need your favor" declaring, Griffin pushed her aside and left the room in anger.

The smile on Remy's face faltered as she balled her palm into a tight fist and her eyes turned dark.

"We need to take care of the girl as soon as possible. She is threatening my territory" Remy sneered and turned at the two girls who bobbed their heads in agreement.

After bidding her goodbye to Julianna, Ariana reached the parking area where she saw Lucian's car. Tucking the strap on her backpack tightly she marched towards the car and quickly hopped in.

Looking outside the window, she heaved out a sigh thankful that no one saw her. She was already facing tremendous attention since morning. Though she tried to ignore them everything got worst when Lucian openly told her about him waiting for her after college.

"Thank god"

"For what?" the familiar voice made her flinch in her seat, almost dropping her heart into her stomach.

Her head shot in the direction of the voice as she watched him turn to look at her.

With one leg crossed over the other and both his palm joined together resting on his lap, he looked like a king. But what made him look more fierce was his deep blue eyes that stared at her without blinking.

Ariana blinked her eyes as she forgot why she praise the lord and quickly composed herself. "N-Nothing..." she lied and quickly averted her eyes from him

Lucian's eyed narrowed on her reaction but he didn't raise another question and asked his chauffeur to start the car.

Mathew on Apollo's orders rushed to the university when he left the Donovan mansion furiously. He didn't want his son to go berserk letting the entire world know about their existence.

Luckily everything was under control and their alpha hadn't caused any trouble.

On Lucian's order, the man started the car and they drove out of the gates.

Ariana embraced her backpack close to her chest and stared out of the window watching the passing view. Her first day of college left her with mixed feelings. She was happy that she was finally able to complete her education but on the other hand, she felt obligated with the attention she had been grasping the entire time.

While her mind was busy recalling her day, she didn't realize when they reached the house. It was only when Lucian spoke that she snapped out of her thoughts.

"Who were those people who bullied your friend" His unexpected words caught her off guard and she cough. "Ahem..."

Ariana didn't want to expose their identities yet kept Julianna's fear in mind. She knew there was something, she was trying to hide from her, or else why would she let this slip away?

Thinking for some time, Ariana looked at Lucian and said," I didn't see who they were but by the looks, it appeared to be intentional" Her words made Lucian frown.

He could sense that Ariana was trying to hide something from him. His eyes still fixated on her face as he tried to read her mind but he couldn't so he dropped the idea and bobbed his head.

"Hmm.. let's get in. You must be tired" saying he opened the door and stepped out of the car and they both entered the house.

*****

Dragging her swollen leg, Julianna entered her house, but before she could take a step closer to her room, a stern voice stopped her from behind.

"How was your day Julianna" the voice send a shiver down her spine and she froze on her spot.
