I could feel the stares of our pack members who dared to defy the Alpha and watch us out of the corner of their eyes. I gulped before I replied "No. That's not a good idea. I have to-" Bastian cut me off before I could say more by hurling me over his shoulder, caveman style. After the pure shock of his actions wore off I began kicking and hammering his back with my clenched fists. He would not budge so I smacked him as hard as I could on his ass. His steps faltered for only a moment before he returned the favor by smacking my ass. His audacity to spank me only fueled my rage. His steps never faulted again while he carried me through the trees at the edge of the parking lot. I look up to see the shocked gazes of the students staring back at me thrown over their usually ever calm Alpha and then finally meet the gaze of a smirking Lyra. She gives me a slight wave before blowing me a big sloppy kiss. I try and give her a dirty look but the tree line of the forest swallow us up. I see nothing but green trees and grass surrounding us. 

" Are you going to be good now?" He said. I could just sense the smile that must be planted on his face right now.

"No! Put me down Conan the Barbarian!"

"You're mistaken. My names Bastian. Yours is Rose."

I chuckle darkly. "Me Tarzan, you Jane. That's how you sound to me right now. Put. Me. Down. Now!"

"Fine!" He stops his progression deeper into the forest and I feel myself sliding down his body until my feet touch the ground. The places where his bare skin touched mind send electric sparks up my body and a shiver creeps up my spine from the feel of them.

He leans in close to me and whispers at my ear "But if you run I will chase you. Understand?"

"Fine." Another shiver starts running from my neck down to the core of my belly. Before I lose my head and decide to do something crazy like tackle him to the forest ground, I push on his shoulders to regain my sanity by putting space between us.

I walk in front of him so he doesn't see the blush warming my cheeks from my thoughts of me on top on him alone in the forest. My head head held high, we walk along a path to a clearing. This is the moment I realize we are completely alone together. I was pondering the thought of us being alone together when the wind picked up and blew his scent my direction. Another smell of sandalwood and pure man. My mouth began to water again for the second time in this last hour. I want a taste. My wolf piped up from inside me. My fists and jaw clench. No, No, No! Don't think about that.

I decided to fill the silence with questions to get my wolf's mind out of the gutter. "Why do you never talk to me anymore, Bastian? We used to be so close. What happened?"

He blinked in surprise at my question.

"What do you mean?"

"You haven't touched me since 8th grade, when I sprained my ankle, and you carried me to my house." The memory suddenly flashing to life in my mind. I fell off the monkey bars trying to impress that damn Jack Jones. But secretly I was trying to gain Bastian's interest not Jacks. Bastian was at football practice and saw me fall... to be honest I had felt Bastian's eye on me the entire time watching me do graceful flip, after graceful flip. When I saw Bastian looking at me, my hands slipped of the bar and I slammed into the ground. Jack of course didn't do anything but laugh at me while I tried to force air back into my lungs. I almost killed him for that.
