Sylvia's POV:
I was floored.Shouldn't Rufus just be waiting for me in his place? As if he knew I was thinking about
him, Rufus turned to me.
When I looked into his eyes, I felt so much affection that it almost melted my heart.
Shy, I looked away and didn't dare to look back at him.
I was actually a little annoyed at how obviously he was looking at me in public without even bothering
to hide his emotion.
"Why is Prince Rufus looking at us like that? Are we in trouble?" Harry then touched his hair.
"Or do you think he's impressed by my new hair color?"
"Shut up, Harry.Your taste's been getting worse and worse, actually.Do you seriously think your hair is
a paint palette?"
Flora rolled her eyes.
"You just don't know how to appreciate beauty, Flora.Don't worry, I forgive you for that.Still, why is
Prince Rufus looking this way? It's making me uncomfortable."
Harry rubbed the goose bumps on his arms.
Flora didn't answer Harry's question and instead just looked at me knowingly.I propped my chin up on
my palm and tried to pay attention while only looking at the stage from time to time.
Even though I was nervous, my heart was touched.
"Well, at least someone's in a good mood today." Harry leaned over to me.
"Must you be this talkative every single day?"
Flora pulled Harry back on his seat.
"If you keep talking like this, I'm going to tell Blair that you go fishing in the woods at night, which you
know is totally against rules."
Harry widened his eyes and shut his mouth.
"Wow, Rufus really cares about you.He even came to class just to see you," Yana said sweetly.
I could imagine pink heart-shaped bubbles around her head.
"Nonsense, Yana.He's here to teach everyone,"
I deflected.
"Are you sure about that? By the looks of it, I think he's just here for you.This whole time, his eyes have
never left you,"
Yana teased.
"Ugh, he's too sweet.I can’t stand this."
I crossed my arms and pretended to be upset, even though I knew I was blushing.
"Why can't you just admit that you're happy he's here? There's no hiding that smile of yours."
As soon as Yana finished talking, Blair mentioned that Rufus needed a volunteer to come up on stage
and help him demonstrate fighting skills.
"Oh, Rufus is definitely going to pick you." Yana was certain.
"I don't know, maybe."
I watched as Rufus walked down the stage.
He wore a military uniform today, which made him look very handsome.
As Yana predicted, he stopped in front of me and looked at me with no expression.
"You."
I coughed awkwardly and obediently got up on the stage.
My mind ran with all sorts of sweet nothings.
What was wrong with this guy? I had class today, and he just had to find a way to see me all the way
here.
What if he deliberately let me win the demonstration? Will people see it as special treatment? I couldn't
believe we were doing this in front of so many werewolves.
It turned out that I had overestimated what was going to happen, as Rufus did not show me any mercy.
Stunned that he immediately went for an attack, I had to dodge and react to his moves in a hurry.
He looked so serious that I didn't dare think about anything else anymore but to survive this
demonstration.
Rufus' moves were so fast and smooth that I almost didn't even get the chance to fight back.
Unsurprisingly, he knocked me down with ease.
I had to awkwardly get up from the ground.
Fortunately, Rufus was kind enough to offer help, but I immediately stepped back from him defensively.
Even during a demonstration with his mate, he did not turn soft-hearted at all.
"If you observed, the way this student threw her punches was not correct.That was why her strength
quickly ran out.Class, you must avoid making the same mistake in a fight."
Rufus knocked on the blackboard, getting the attention of the students.
I looked at Rufus with confusion in my eyes.Did he just bring me up here to make me a bad example?
