Chapter 4: Connection

His face was still close to her after telling her something. He couldn't pull back when he smelled her scent. He was both drawn by her aura and captivated by her scent, he was trying to figure out her smell when she unexpectedly turned to him.

They were both surprised and weren't able to move, staring at each other, as if no one was around. He moved his gaze to her lips. He was still confused why he was acting like she was his mate.

Werewolves would know if they found their mate just by the smell of their scent. The wolf inside them would feel the mating pull the moment they see and smell its other half.

But his wolf wasn't reacting at all. He wasn't confirming nor denying the girl in front of him.

"Can you be my friend?" Zion asked again, not blinking or even backing off.

She curled her lips, thinking of the right words to say.

"Just a friend?" She blurted.

Again, she wanted to slap her mouth from asking something like that. He might think that she was not satisfied for just being his friend.

"Why? Would you like to be more than that?" He asked, looking intently into her eyes.

She suddenly got embarrassed when she realized how close they were, so she turned her gaze away from him. She looked around and was relieved that their classmates were focused on the lecture.

He was about to lose control seeing her face was just an inch away from him. He wanted to cross that space but she suddenly turned her face away. Then he heard her chuckle.

"My bad. Your offer seemed so simple." She honestly answered.

She was actually right. Werewolves were known for being possessive with women. In her case, she wasn't his mate but it was obvious that he was interested in her, plus the fact that they don't usually make friends with Terrans. Offering her a simple friendship was really unbelievable for an alpha like him.

"Just a friend." He simply answered.

She was thinking about Zion's offer. It won't hurt her to accept his friendship. She was really interested in the Moon Goddess but she couldn't find anything about her after the war. She sighed deeply and glanced at him, still blushing, she nodded and smiled.

"Okay. Friends." She whispered.

He was really happy with her answer. He reached out his hand to offer a handshake. She reached back to hold his hand.

"See you later. In the garden." He said.

She nodded. She was again looking into his eyes, trying to read what's in it. She could still see some loneliness but a part of it vanished. She could sense that he was glad she accepted his offer even though he wasn't smiling.

When he slowly released her hand, his fingers slightly brushed her palm. She swallowed her saliva when she suddenly felt something burning inside her. She didn't notice she let out a deep sigh.

Again, she was confused that a simple gesture from him would greatly affect her. She had three boyfriends before but she never felt something like that when she was holding hands with them. That was one of the reasons they broke up just after a few days of their relationship.

They told her that she was cold and too distant. She was physically present all the time, but her heart and mind were never there.

She couldn't understand the reason herself. When she agreed to date them, she was actually serious about it. They were her classmates and friends. She felt like she was in love with them, but she would always wake up one morning feeling nothing towards them.

One of them asked her for a kiss. She tried accepting it but when he was so close to her, she suddenly pushed him. That was the day she got dumped. She thought she would be hurt and cry, but she actually felt relieved.

After three failed relationships, she never dated anyone. There were a lot of guys who tried to ask her out. But she always rejected them.

Zion was different. They just met but she felt like she knew him for a long time, but she wasn't sure what it was that she felt towards him.

"Can you feel it?"

She was startled again by his voice. It was just a whisper, but she felt her body's temperature rise from the warmth of his breath brushing through her skin.

She frowned. Did he feel the same way? That feeling of connection between them, making her drawn to him. She thought inwardly.

When he let go of her hand, he really brushed his fingers to her palm to see her reaction. He saw her flushed and let out a deep breath. He slightly smiled, seeing her react just by a simple touch from him. He was satisfied. He thought he was the only one who was affected by her presence.

"Let's talk." He said.

"W-What?" Her eyes widened when he stood up.

The professor noticed that Zion stood up. She turned to him and asked.

"Yes? Do you need anything?"

"I need to go out for a moment. We need to go out." He answered in a firm voice.

Amaris became anxious. She didn't expect that he would want to talk to her now. She thought they would meet after class was over.

"Zion, what are you doing?" She murmured.

It was a whisper but she was surprised when her classmates turned to them, looking specifically at her. She bowed her head when she saw her cousin staring at her, confused.

He didn't say a word. He didn't even wait for the professor's permission.. He suddenly grabbed her hand, pulling her outside of the classroom.
