I watched Carter leave, a bittersweet feeling deep inside of . I was happy to have seen him, and happy to be continuing school, but I felt so bad for him right now. I wanted to help him sohow. Maybe I could figure sothing out. Eventually.

Right now, however, I was just still so happy about what Carter had told . I was excited for my exams, and glad that I had kept up on my assignnts, thanks to all my friends. I wanted to thank Reece. I needed to tell him how happy this made . And I had never thanked him for saving last ti either.

Just then I caught his scent. I didn't know if he was leaving or going back to his room. I had to hurry. I ran down the hall as fast as I could and was at the top of the stairs and the connecting hallway before I knew it. I saw him, walking toward his room, his tall broad back facing and growing smaller the farther he went down the hall.

Without thinking I ran after him.

"Reece!" I yelled when I was nearly to him. He was already turning before I called out to him, undoubtedly alerted by the sound of my running footsteps and my scent.

"Little Bunny?" He asked confused to see running toward him. I leapt the last step and threw my arms around his waist, not caring that I had just thrown a fit about him touching .

"Thank you."

"What's this about?" He asked confused, his hands held up as if he didn't know what to do. He was clearly not in 'the mood' right now because he was even more hesitant to touch than usual. It was completely different to how he usually acted when he was being his typical suggestive self. That's fine, I just wanted to thank him, I wasn't after anything more.

"I just wanted to say thank you." I told him as I pulled away. Seeing him there made want to laugh. But I didn't, that would have started another fight. He had both his hands held at about chest level, palms out, almost like he was facing down a criminal with guns drawn. It looked like the typical movie "freeze" pose, And the shock on his face.

"Thank for what?" His sense of what was normal must be coming back because he was getting his voice under control, he was talking in his usual clipped tone of voice.

"For working out my situation with the university. I know it must have been difficult. And I've been aning to tell you thank you for saving my life. I just hadn't gotten around to it because we always ended up in argunts." I was giving him what I hoped was a thankful smile. I could see his eyes darkening. I was wearing his patience down. I should leave before he gets mad at .

"I need to go. I have more things to do now than I originally thought." I smiled at him again. I nodded my head and ran off, smiling happily. "I'll see you at breakfast."

Reece

I could sll her the mont she opened her bedroom door. She was there with another man. I had to calm my wolf by telling him that I would settle it all soon and locking him in a ntal cage just to stop him from taking over. I knew the man with her was her cousin Carter. I had had a quick eting with him earlier after all. I knew he was going to co here. But my wolf was still jealous.

Soon after that I passed Carter on the stairs, he gave the cursory bow and mumbled. "Alpha." He was a good man, but he was completely on my Little Bunny's side. If push ca to shove, I knew that he would choose to help her over the pack. He loved his cousin and was fiercely loyal to her. Honestly, that made happy. She needed more allies on her side.

I was almost to my door when I turned around. I had heard her feet running down the hall, but at first, I thought she might have just been chasing after Carter. I thought he might have forgotten sothing. But her footsteps chased down the hallway, and her scent grew stronger. As I was turning around, I heard her call my na.

"Reece!" It was enough to stop in my tracks. The sight of her running toward so happily. I didn't know what to think.

"Little Bunny?" I asked confused, just as she threw her arms around my waist, slamming into with such force that I was rocked backward montarily.

"Thank you." Her voice was soft as she spoke the words, squeezing .

"What's this all about?" I asked her, confused. I held my hands up above her, not knowing where to put them. I wanted to hug her back, but after what happened earlier today, I didn't know if I should.

"I just wanted to say thank you." She repeated her words she had said once already, but I didn't know what she was thanking for.

"Thank for what?" I tried to remain calm, to make myself sound neutral. She pulled away and continued.

"For working out my situation with the university. I know it must have been difficult. And I've been aning to tell you thank you for saving my life. I just hadn't gotten around to it because we always ended up in argunts."

I couldn't believe my ears. She wasn't acting like the Little Bunny I had grown used to. But the sound of her voice, the feel of her body when it was pressed against , it made my wolf pant in my ears and beg for more.

"I need to go. I have more things to do now than I originally thought. I'll see you at breakfast." She spun around and ran back down the hall while I stood there, still dazed. Co back! My wolf whined in my head after she left. What am I supposed to do when she does things like this? First, she told off for touching her, then she literally ran into my arms and hugged . I was so confused. But maybe it was possible to move past all the things that had happened between us. I smiled thinking this as I finally walked into my room.
