Chapter 4

• I stared at Ryan. There was an amazement in his eyes as if he had just caught me red-handed.
• He raised a brow. "What?"
• I averted my gaze from him and looked around to see if anyone had heard him. Everyone was looking at us while whispering to each other.
• He was not loud enough to be heard. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
• I opened my eyes and looked up at him.
• "Can you just move?"
• "Why?"
• "What do you want, Ryan?"
• "Why didn't you tell me about yourself when I asked you who you were?"
• I rolled my eyes. "I didn't find it important to tell you about myself. And we are not that close anyway."
• He was silent. I glanced at him, thinking I might be a little bit rude.
• But I was so wrong! He was smirking. I wanted to smack his smirk.
• "Ryan, what are you doing with her?"
• I heard a voice and looked behind him. It was Sophia. She was our pack's Delta's daughter. Everyone knew about her identity, and that was why she roamed around our school like a queen. Her first target was Ethan; however, he never gave a damn about her.
• Ryan moved back from me and turned around.
• "Nothing, Sweety. I thought I needed someone to show me around the school."
• "What? You should tell me that. Let's go. I will show you around." Sophia said happily. A few girls looked interested too.
• I felt sick looking at them. How could they like a boy like Ryan? Unless they were also up for a one night stand like him.
• Ryan turned to me.
• "And you."
• I looked at him. I was afraid he would tell everyone about me.
• "Nice to meet you, baby." He snickered and winked at me.
• I was dumbfounded. He turned around and walked to Sophia. He wrapped his hand around her waist, and they headed to see around the whole school.
• Everyone was still looking at me. I felt so angry that I could not explain it. I was fuming. He just gave others a reason to pay attention to me, which I did not like from the start.
• Teresa rushed to me. "Is everything okay?" She asked with a worried face.
• "What would happen?"
• "I saw Ethan and Julie. Then I saw Ryan and Sophia coming out from this side. Now everyone is staring at you."
• "Nothing happened. Ryan was annoying me."
• "He what? Why?"
• I shook my head and opened my locker again.
• "What are you all looking at?"
• I heard Teresa yelling at others. Everyone looked away from me.
• Teresa had an aura to shut anyone down, I must say. She was a beta female.
• She also took out her books, and we went to our classes.
• When it was the last class, it was a combined class with all-year students.
• Schedule-wise, Teresa was not in the class with me today.
• I was not friendly with others, so every time, I had to attend the class alone.
• However, Ethan was also in this class. I looked around and saw there were two empty seats at the back, beside the window. But then I saw who was sitting in front of those seats.
• Ethan and Julie were sitting there.
• I bit my lips nervously and walked ahead. I did not look at Ethan. The way he insulted me last night was enough to make me avoid him, and he had a girlfriend again. So I should retain myself.
• I sat on the seat behind Julie. I tried to avoid looking in front.
• I looked outside from the window. The sky was clear today. It was a sunny day. Sunlight fell on my bench from the window.
• "Mr. Iversen, you are late."
• I heard Professor William's voice. I turned my head and saw Ryan standing at the door.
• "Well, I was busy roami- I mean looking around, Professor." He replied carelessly.
• Professor William was tough. He did not even treat Ethan like a king, so Ryan was not special to him either.
• "It's your first class, so I'm letting it go. Next time, don't be late. Otherwi-"
• "Otherwise, give me detention or cut my marks. It's okay, Professor. Take it easy."
• The way Ryan interrupted Mr. William, it made others shock.
• Ryan looked around, and his eyes met mine. His infamous smirk came back to his face.
• "Look how hot he is!"
• I heard some girls. How could they whisper so loudly!!
• I tried to hide my face with my hands from Ryan immediately.
• Ethan turned his head to me as if he saw who Ryan was looking at.
• I did not look at Ethan. Why would I? Didn't he say I was not his type?
• "Stop hiding, baby. You are not even hiding properly. Come here. Let me hide you in my jacket."
• Everyone heard Ryan and laughed.
• I moved my hands from my face and glared at Ryan, who was now standing beside me.
• "ATTENTION, EVERYONE."
• Professor William shouted at everyone. I glanced at the other girls. They were glaring at me as if I had committed a crime.
• 'What? Do they think I am with him? He just came back yesterday. What's wrong with them??'
• "Focus, focus. Or do you want to go on a detention with me?" I heard Ryan again.
• I closed my eyes and tightened my fists.
• This boy was getting on my nerves.
• Why was he even talking to me? We did not know each other that well.
• Well, I sometimes went to the pack house with my mother when I was a kid. So I saw him for quite some time. That was it. Or we played one or two times, maybe, not more than that.
• I avoided him and tried to give my attention to the class.
• "Please try to understand everything, and I will not repeat it again." Professor William said this and turned to the projector to show something.
• However, my eyes were on Ethan. He did not look okay in his seat there. His face was gloomy. I did not see Julie talk to him in the whole class.
• Another thing I noticed was that these two brothers never talked to each other. There was a rumor that they did not like each other. Why was that?
• I somehow got lost in Ethan's side profile. He was the only one for me. No matter who came in front of me, I would choose him without any second thought. However, his face also reminded me of what he said last night in the club.
• Suddenly, I felt a breath in my right ear. I almost gasped loudly but prevented myself when I heard Ryan.
• "I see. You are in love with him."
