Chapter 151: Chapter 151
Louis’ baking class was interrupted by a knock on the door, he turned to the door, his class of seven doing the same.
His furrowed brow relaxed when Dio peeked his head in, his black locks in a top knot. "Dio! Are you here for..." He trailed off when Alois popped out from behind him, another Alpha peeking from around Alois’ shoulder... Was there an end to them?
"You said I could come for cookies," Dio stepped in and said, a serious expression on his face.
Louis stared down at him in disbelief, "I didn’t say you could bring along your entire club."
"I don’t know these people." Dio denied flatly, making a move to close the door.
"They literally came with you," He countered, watching his boyfriend struggle to keep the others out. "You know what? You can all come in," He allowed them.
"But..." Louis added, cutting off their cheering. "If you’re going to be having cookies, you’re going to have to help out." He announced sternly, "Grab an apron and take a seat."
All three obediently did as he ordered, having a brief scuffle over what apron to wear.
"Polkadots are badass, I want that one, Dom." Alois pointed.
"Too late, I already took it, take another." The Alpha that was spoken to immediately put on the apron in question, twirling around. "Oi, Dio, what do you think?"
"Shut up and take your seats." Louis interrupted them, looking unimpressed.
"I want that seat..." Alois started to make demands again.
"Oh fuck off, you want everything I take." Dominique sassed, plopping down on the stool. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Louis just massaged his temple, the mound of cookie dough on the board in front of him long abandoned. He couldn’t continue his class because the Alphas from the Archery club kept making a fuss, distracting his students.
"Oh, it looks like fun over there!" Cedric said from his side of the kitchen, already making his way over.
"No, stay right there." Louis nipped his plans in the bud. He already had a lot to deal with, adding Cedric to the mix was like dropping a matchstick in a bucket of fuel.
"Alright, where were we?" Louis drew in a deep breath, slapping Alois’ hand away from the cookie dough. "I’m going to show you all how to use the cookie cutter..."

They couldn’t visit the Volleyball club on the first day of classes so they had to settle for the next day.
"Where were you guys yesterday?" A scruffy looking Alpha walked over as soon as Valentin stepped into the indoor court. "We were two short because of you guys."
Valentin frowned at this, "We didn’t get any new applicants?"
The Alpha crossed his arms, "We didn’t, everyone wants to join the Horse-riding club now..." He trailed off and looked past Valentin and Audie to see someone else, "You guys brought someone new? Awesome, you’re forgiven." He quickly changed his tune, pushing both of them aside to get to Jacques.
Valentin just blinked in shock as he watched the President pull Jacques behind him to give him a tour of of the court.
Jacques was just as surprised but he let himself be dragged around although he had already been given a tour.
Audie on the other hand just walked over to the rest of the members who were lounging on the sofas provided in the seating area.
"I’m the president, Rafael and you’re welcome to the Volleyball club." The scruffy Alpha patted Jacques’ shoulder, he was a senior, judging by the dark green of his uniform.
"I’m in?" Jacques asked in surprise, "You’re not going to test me? What if I can’t play?"
Rafael looked unfazed by this, "Then we teach you. Come on, let me show you your uniform..."
The invitation was merely perfunctory because Rafael dragged him along once more. The Alpha had a lot of hidden wiry strength for his lanky build.
The game was merely them just having fun, seeing as there wasn’t even the appropriate number of members present for a proper game. They needed at least twelve but they were only eight including Jacques because they came to find out that a member left the club.
So Jacques seemed to show up at just the perfect time.
*i spent fifteen minutes familiarising myself with how a Volleyball match worked on wikiHow only to scrap the scene because I still didn’t get it*

Henri could finally breathe when Alexander hopped down from Moonlight, he half wanted to ride off into the distance with his horse but even more than that he wanted some privacy.
So while Pierre was busy handling the matter of the collapsed horse and Claude was saying something to Alexander, he used the moment of distraction to slip away.
Henri sighed as he made his way back to the main area of the college grounds. That was his chance at finally getting a relaxing ride all ruined.
Back at the Field, Claude and Alexander were left behind after everyone hanging around the stables went to take a look at the fallen horse.
"What did you do to Henri?" Claude demanded darkly.
Alexander lazily raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "Nothing."
A vein ticked on the side of Claude’s jaw, "And the horse?"
Alexander’s brow furrowed at this, a slight change in his expression. "I didn’t do anything to the horse."
Claude scoffed, "You’re a terrible liar, you-"
"Wait," Alexander stopped him with a finger, looking around. "Where is Henri?"
"Don’t try to change the conversation." Claude scowled.
"Weren’t you the one that said you’d keep an eye on him? He’s heading to his dorm room right now, all by himself." The Alpha Prince drawled. "Anything could go wrong."
Claude’s pale eyes narrowed at this but he couldn’t refute it. As much as the Alpha got under his skin, Henri was still far more important. "This conversation isn’t over," He jabbed Alexander’s chest with his finger before striding off.
"And don’t even think about following me." Claude added over a shoulder.
Alexander’s cold laugh trailed him, "Sure you want to waste time trying to stop me?"
Claude only cursed and picked up the pace.
