Chapter 0089
uch attention Rik is giving me the rest of the day. He is there after every class and insists on carrying my bag for me, walking me to my next class. I don’t know if he realizes how many people are watching us, but I do, Maybe it’s because everyone has figured out that he was my mystery man. It was a very public claim.
It’s very flattering that his attention, when he’s with me, is solely on me. The arrogant Alpha that I’ve seen all my life is gone. This man is something I never expected. He’s all in, and he’s making sure I know it.
“Well, he’s not all in, but he could be.‘ Artemis purrs seductively.

‘Maybe?‘ She snickers.
I push her out and refocus on the conversation at lunch. Chase seems to be hitting on Lacey and she’s not biting. In truth, she and I have always been in agreement when it comes to men. We have no interest in being anyone’s bed warmer or a notch on a bedpost. Chase doesn’t exactly have a good reputation when it comes to being with women. If I had to guess, I’d say he has notches on all four of his bedposts and is probably running out of room for more. He’s barking up the wrong tree with Lacey.
When Rik walks me to my car at the end of the day, I turn to him intending to tell him how much I appreciate his attention today. Instead, I realize that he has
