She watched me leave like a complete creepo, flowers blooming slowly on her head, shrinking to give way to a new wave.
                          

                          
I wondered if that was automatic, like she didn't notice it, because it seemed like it took effort.
                          

                          
I don't know. I didn't deal in that elemental magic bullshit.
                          

                          
It didn't matter to me either way.
                          

                          
As expected, Mrs. Block went ballistic when I showed up. Late. Again. Goddess damn Cerie.
                          

                          
I apologized a bunch, assured her that I would try harder to get here on time, and took my seat.
                          

                          
What a great start to the day.

 I was itchy and hot. What the straight hell? Why was I so bloody uncomfortable?
                          

                          
I was practically praying for the clock to tick faster. I wanted to get home to Lottie. Maybe not having her by my side was my problem.
                          

                          
“For homework, go to page 158. Do 1-15 all the even problems and 23-49 the odd problems” Mrs. Block instructed, her voice rising over the sound of frantic pencil marks.
                          

                          
I wrote down the homework, scratching my neck and forearm.
                          

                          
Why the hell did I feel so uncomfortable?
                          

                          
I took a quick look at the clock and mentally groaned.
                          

                          
I had half an hour left and another class after that.
                          

                          
To distract myself, I thought about the day before. After I found Lottie peeping on Dean, the scent of her arousal nearly unbearable, I put my food aside and took her to bed.
                          

                          
I was so close to having gotten inside her but she put a stop to it.
                          

                          
Of course she did. I had been too eager.
                          

                          
Instead, she wanted to talk. About us and our future. She shared her plans to make a little house for herself, which had me and Dean growling in protest.
                          

                          
She quickly proposed that we all live together and make this a little more official. After all, we were practically doing that already.
                          

                          
I wasn’t too comfortable with the idea of living with her and the cocky Alpha but I couldn’t bear living without Lottie. I could hardly go through the school day. I ached to be close to her.
                          

                          
So we agreed to it.
                          

                          
We were officially in a relationship now. I was a committed wolf. And it was fucking weird thinking it, that I now had a girlfriend. And well, I guess she had two boyfriends.
                          

                          
There wasn’t a way in hell I was ever touching Dean though. I knew we had some sort of weird threesome arrangement but no. I was never going to touch Dean.
