Pack Adonis

Chapter 7

Rosalie

I walked sore into school. My tutor, Beth, was extra hard on me today. Maybe it was because I cursed at Ryder and his entire existence and she was the biggest fan girl alive. I know...that wasn't smart of me. But cursing his name made me feel a lot better.

Pack history was at the other side of the school and I had five minutes till the bell, I was never going to make it. The school was huge. And running wasn't an option all thanks stupid Beth. Oh, how hard I hated her. I'm not a person who believes you can truly hate a person, but this pack and some people in it made me change that thought. Naming Kyla in particular.

Skipping wasn't an option either, because Ryder gave that lesson, he would notice it. Maybe I could fake an injury or just explain the situation. The thing is I didn't know what would save my ass, because either way he would find a way to burn it and punish me again.

Reluctantly I arrived at the class five minutes too late. Taking deep breaths didn't help a bit so I just walked in. The room eyed me and I smiled embarrassed. Why can only I embarrass myself each time again and again?

"It's nice you've decided to show up for class, ms. Knight." Ryder crossed his arms turning to me.

I tried to find my tongue and get not distracted by his amazing biceps. But just they were really tan and muscular. And the shirt he was wearing really made them pop out. I parted my lips, but quickly stopped my tongue from wetting them.

"I was held back, mr. Lawson."

"How may that be?" He leaned against his desk.

Did I ever said his butt looks amazing? Well if I didn't, I'll do it now. It was fit and strong. And again I need to stop crushing on him!

"My training." I answered.

"Oh, did Beth go too hard on you?" His eyes stood playful.

"No, I'm very sorry for my delay." I said biting my inner cheeks. So it came out forced. But it was forced.

"Take a seat, Ambrosia." He said standing up in his full length.

I turned to go to my usual seat in the back, but he stopped me and pointed at an empty seat right in front of him. The grin he was wearing only made it worse and again I had the desire to curse his name.

"Right in front of me." He smirked.

Biting my lip I sat down and eyed my neighbors, who stared at me with wide eyes. I ignored it and grabbed my notebook. Ryder turned to the board explaining some old story and I went back to my drawing. Since I had this stupid dream over and over again, I tried to draw what I had seen. Now it was the back of a lovely woman. But I could never catch her face.

The bell went and I collected my stuff, but Ryder stopped me. He grabbed my notebook and flipped through it, I turned red. It was filled with drawings of the woman, each one different but still similar.

"I would rather have that you paid attention, than drawing in my class, Ambrosia", he commented.

"I'm sorry, I won't do it next time", I replied.

I tried to grab my notebook, but he held it away from my grasp. He flipped through it, calculating everything.

"Can I have it back?", I reached for it, but he tugged it away.

I fell forwards against his chest, the stupid sensation going through my body all over again. Ryder steadied me, but rested his arm around my waist.

"Don't draw in my class, do you want me to punish you some more?", he whispered in my ear.

"No", my voice trembled.

Screw this.

"Well, behave, I'm doing this for your own best", he let go of me.

Again I felt naked and lonely, eager for his touch. Gosh, this mate thing I swear...

"Hurry up, you'll be late for your next class", he warned me.

I came from my trance and grabbed my backpack, before hurrying out the classroom. I looked back at Ryder, who was grinning at the ground. Like he was replaying something in his mind, I had no idea what.

<~><~><~><~><~>

"Oh hey Jayden!", Rosalie hugged a handsome guy.

He had blond hair and blue eyes. He still had some baby fat, but a nice jawline and full lips. Seriously, I was jealous of them. I also like his dimples, they were really cute. But he was nothing compared to Ryder in hotness.

Oh, shit, I'm comparing him to an innocent guy. Amazing!

"Hey, Rosie! Who's this?", he asked looking at me.

"Ambrosia Knight, she's new", Rosalie introduced me.

I smiled and we shook hands, his grip was very tight.

"Oh, Ryders mate. Poor girl", he chuckled.

Rosalie laughed and nodded in agreement, I frowned. What was the deal between them? Rosalie never explained me why she hated Ryder, I just figured out she did.

"What did he do to you?", I asked Jayden.

"Exist", he replied grumpy.

"Oh, I get it", a touch subject.

"Let's not waste time on him. Tell me everything about you, new bff!", Jayden was funny.

Everybody at the table gathered around and I told them countless stories. They shared theirs and it was really fun. We grew a tight bond and I liked it very much.
