Chapter 3

I wasn't expecting to meet my mate that night at the rec center. I knew that when our eyes met that there was no turning back. From this moment forward I needed to be with her, she is my other half. She is beautiful but something was off with her. She didn't seem like a human but she didn't have a wolf scent to her either. 

I wasn't allowed to be at the rec center that night, but I wasn't going to miss out on a party. I knew that the party wasn't going to be just freshmen anyways so I saw that there was no harm in showing up. My wolf was also restless and now I know why. I didn't get to introduce myself to her as she turned and walked right back out. I tried to look for her outside the billing but I had no luck finding her. I couldn't even smell her scent so I couldn't follow her.

That night I couldn't get her off my mind, sleep was not an option. I need to find out who she is and why I am having a hard time detecting what she is. My wolf said she is a werewolf but I can't smell her wolf on her at all. Shadow thinks that she has no clue what she is. He also thinks that she was never part of a pack as we can't detect any pack scent on her either. Witch I guess would have made scents on why she has no wolf yet if she has never been around our kind she would develop at a much slower pace than the rest of us. 

When class started the next day I was glad to see that I didn't have to look far for her. We are in the same English lit class. God, she was breathtaking and I couldn't help but stare at her. She was sitting up in the far corner of the classroom looking uncomfortable and nervous. I was incapable of keeping my distance from her any longer. I walked slowly up to where she was sitting not wanting to scare her. I looked into her bright green eyes that looked so innocent as I asked her "Is it okay if I sit next to you?" I saw how her breath caught in her longs when our eyes meet. I was glad that she was affected by me as much as I was by her.

"Um...Of course, you can." Even the sound of her voice was so gentle as she spoke to me with shyness. She is going to be perfect for me once she realizes that I am her soulmate. I smiled at her as I sat down next to her. "Good morning beautiful my name is Atlas." I enjoyed seeing how red her face became with my choice of words.

"G...Good morning. My name is Tamara." I can see that she was nervous as she spoke to me. But god she was amazing already. The only thing that I know about her so far is her name. 

Tamara POV

Having this sex god man sitting next to me was overwhelming. There was something about him that loved how close he was to me. I think it was the way he looks at me that has me a nervous wreck. This is different behavior for me as I am used to people treating me like shit every chance they get. The professor walks in with a grim look on his face. 

"Hello, new and old students. If you do not know already, I am your professor. You can call me Mr.White or Sir...Now, let's get on with today's lesson. The person that's sitting next to you is going to be your partner in all shared activities. So for the rest of the week, you are going to get to know each other better as you will be working together a lot this semester. So get used to seeing each other often. I want you all to pick something that you learned about your partner and find a way to express the emotions you felt about what you have found out. You are all dismissed until Monday of next week."

I don't know how to feel about this project. I don't want to share my past with some stranger that will use the knowledge in bad ways to torture me. So I look at him with a small smile "I am going to use the restroom. I'll meet you in the lounge of phase 3. Okay?"

He gives me a smile in return that I know has worked on other women. But god only knows that smile could get me to agree to anything he asks of me. I get up and walk out of the classroom with my heart racing with the lie that I just told. why did I just do that? He is going to know that I lied to him when I don't show up in the next fifteen minutes.

I walk into phase 3 housing with a rush to the elevator so I can get to my floor without being seen by Atlas. The elevator opens quickly as I step in I press floor 0. Thank god I made it without being seen.  This was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. When I got to my room I unlocked my door with my school ID. I push the door open and I almost had a heart attack with the site before my eyes. He was in my room waiting for me on my bed. How did he get into my room anyways? 

"Hello, gorgeous! surprised to see me?"

"Yes...How did you get in here anyways?" 

"Your lovely roommate let me in."  well that explains it I'll have to talk with her later about leaving strangers in our room unsupervised. 

"Um...well let's work on this project then. Tell me about yourself."

"Well gorgeous what do you want to know?"

"Anything that you are willing to tell me." 

"Okay let's start with my full name. My full name is Atlas Kai Whitlock. I am 23 years old. I am in my junior year of college. I have a 13-year-old sister that drives me crazy. I have a family dinner with my parents every Saturday. I am majoring in business so I can take over for my dad in a few years. But I would love to major in English lit as I find it more interesting. My mom and I are close. She was my best friend for a while when I was longer. My dad's and my relationship is stable but we also see things differently so we sometimes argue with each other. My favorite color is warm green, much like your eye color. I am a dancer when I am not in classes or with friends and family. Hints my glorious sexy body you see before your eyes. I am very protective of the people that are closest to my heart. I will do anything to protect them from a dangerous situation. I love fast American cars, yeah I know such a man thing to say but it's the truth. Anything else that has not been covered yet that you want to know?"

 "Umm...Not that I can think of right now."

"Okay, so tell me about yourself?"

"I wish I could but I have to go to my next class right now. I am sorry I tell you about myself next time I see you." I grab my bag and my ID off my desk before I walk to the door. I hold the door open so he gets the hint that he needs to leave. He walks out the door and waits for me. He bends down to my ear and whispers "Don't think that you got out of telling me about yourself gorgeous!" Then he just smiles down at me and walks away like he owns the world.
