Chapter 136
Daphne's POV He's here again.
He shows up every day at the same time unfailingly. He stays by the window and peeps into the class for a few minutes. Then he leaves. It's the same routine that has been going on for a few days now.
I know he sneaks in when the gates are opened up for parents to pick up their kids. The only thing stopping me from reporting him to the security guard is knowing that he's harmless. I highly doubt that our Alpha will bring in someone she views as a threat into the pack. That's the only reason I pretend not to notice the holes he keeps drilling into my back. Not anymore though.
I've exhausted my patience and today, I'm going to find out what his issue is.
I stand up, forcing myself not to look towards the window where I know he is. With a fake yawn, I start a path to the bathroom located at the side of the room and then abruptly turn around at the last second and race to the door.
I push open the door and rush out to find his back is turned to me a s he tries to hurry away.
"Wait," I call out, standing by the opened door and watching over the kids who haven't been picked up yet. I won't be able to do anything if he decides to run, but thankfully, he doesn't.
His back stiffens as he turns around slowly.
For a creep, he makes a handsome one. I push that thought away and try to focus on what's important here -which is definitely not his impressive build or great looks.
Clearing my throat to get rid of the frog stuck there, I start my interrogation. "What do you think you're doing?" It's a simple sentence that has a lot of weight and thankfully, he doesn't pretend not to understand what I'm referring to.
He gives me a chagrined smile. "You noticed?"
It is hard not to notice a huge figure looming by the window every day. "You haven't exactly been slick," I deadpan.
He gives a nervous chuckle and reaches for the back of his neck.
"Will you believe me if I say I just love kids so much?"
I give him a dry look. I might not have any of the abilities that come with being a werewolf but I can smell bullshit from a mile away. "Try again."
He sighs heavily and walks back to me, stopping when there's a few feet between us. "I need to speak with you."
Confusion racks up within me. That sentence sounds so ominous and I can't wrap my head around why he would need to speak with me of al people. "About what?" | question, patting myself on the back for not sounding half as nerve-wracking as I feel. My words actually managed to come out even.
His lips part and I hold my breath. "We're-"
"Miss Daphne, I'm here to pick up Liam," a cheery voice says from behind me and I close my eyes as I hold in a groan.
