Rhylor [The Ultima Manhunt B2]

Chapter 12 - An Alpha's Crush ~Part One~

ONE MONTH TIL BUNNY HILL ( THREE WEEKS LATER)

THE MILESTONE LIBRARY

"'Everything you need to know about the end of the world'. Are you serious? How is this even a book?" Harper complains loudly.

She throws the book across the room as Blade bends down to pick it up.

"Beats me. I bet the author of that book just wrote it to get popular. After all, what kind of name is Soren Greyson?" he bites back.

"Some idiot who only writes about men in the end." she scoffs then sighs. "Remind me again, what are we even doing here? The library is a place of learning is it not?"

"It is." Blade replies. "We're here for an assignment, surely you remember that."

Harper huffs. "Oh yes, the whole 'find a mythical creature and write a five paragraph essay about them' assignment." she mutters.

She reaches up to grab a book off the shelf, glancing her eyes down at it. "Say, Blade? What kind of mythical creature do you want to do?" she asks.

They are partners for this project, not that either of them complained. They're friends after all.

Blade turns the book he has in his hands around, depicting a flaming bird. "How about a Phoenix." he smiles cheekily.

"Oh, a Phoenix? I suppose we could do that." she agrees after a split second of hesitation.

"Great!" he beams. "This book here, tells everything there is to know about Phoenixes."

He waves the book around in the air happily as Harper snorts.

Almost everything.

"Shall we start reading?" she asks him.

"Yeah. The sooner we read, the quicker we get the assignment done." Blade says.

(ZEIDEN)

"Oo, who's that?" he hears Dawson say.

Zeiden gives her a raised eyebrow as she merely points to a brunette with chocolate colored eyes and the scent of a werewolf.

"She's cute." Dawson gushes. "I like that."

"Then go flirt. You know you want to." Zeiden deadpans.

Dawson turns and gasps at him. "Brilliant idea Zei! I shall go flirt with that adorably cute girl!" she shouts then makes a mad dash over to the brunette.

"Hello there! I is Dawson and you, adorably cute girl, are?" Dawson introduces herself loudly.

Zeiden moves his hand to his forehead and sighs quietly. He watches the brunette turn around and smile.

"Hi Dawson. I'm Rachel Syvler." the brunette responds.

"Did you know you are extremely cute? I must say, I really do like that fact!" Dawson grins as Rachel giggles.

"Oh, you're pretty cute yourself." Rachel whispers.

Great. Two lesbian females practically flirting with each other. Just what a guy needs to witness.
