"Bye Winter, until next time." He says as his phone rings again and he walks away, while I watch him until I can’t see him anymore. It's like I can breathe again when he isn't near, being around him is like sinking deep in mud. I know I'm in way too much, as I let myself in the apartment, locking the door behind me.

I check my phone seeing no messages, and it annoys me how much I was hoping to see a message from a certain wolfman.

I hardly believe my own life anymore.

Chapter Nine

"Did you understand a word he just said? I swear that man talks in riddles". Alex says picking up her books off her desk next to mine, at the end of class. Honestly, I wasn't paying much attention when I should have today. My thoughts were on seeing Jaxson and then watching Harris in this class. I grab my stuff quickly, ignoring Alex and run down the steps towards Harris who is just leaving. I tried to get his attention throughout the class but he never looked my way.

"Harris," I shout and a few people glance at me. Harris clearly heard me as he stops by the door, waiting for me. Harris watches me a little wearily, as I get close.

"Hey, what's up?" He asks when I get to him.

"Can we talk? Alone." I ask, shifting my heavy bag into my other arm.

"Here give me that, and how about we get lunch?" He asks as I hand my bag over to him. I watch as he throws it over his shoulder like it weighs nothing, and it’s a sharp reminder that Harris isn’t just a college kid; he is a wolf with superhuman strength. I go to comment but Alex's voice behind me stops that.

"Jesus Win, don't run like that, some of us can't run like a horse who’s ass is on fire." She says, completely breathless.

I snort in laughter and Harris chuckles, running his hand through his spiked hair.

"Sorry Alex, Alex this is Harris." I point at him, introducing them both.

"Nice to meet you." Alex says looking him over and apparently likes what she sees as she winks at me. I go to tell her it isn’t anything like that but I can’t in front of Harris without sounding like a bitch.

"Shoot I have to go, see you tonight," she says before kissing my cheek and jogging out the room. I shake my head at her antics. Harris and me, start walking out of class after the classroom empties out a little. We cross over the field, not talking and into the university café.

Harris leads me to a table and chairs away from other people in the back, and orders two tea’s for us. We both order some sandwiches too.

"So what did you want to chat about?" He asks, leaning back in his seat.
