Cole Cotter
The wolf inside him howls, silently, in triumph.
Cole knows Ava's not happy about the newfound arrangement, him helping to teach the class for the next few weeks. But, at least, it will give him the opportunity to find out why she ran from him - why she's still fleeing.
Her flight reflex has only sparked his inner hunting instinct even further.
The untamed beast inside him yearns for a chase and wants to take off in pursuit. From prior experiences, when the wolf sets eyes on something or someone, it usually gets what it wants. And right now, his inner wolf craves Ava.
In the locker room, she tosses a studio T-shirt and sweats at him.
"I'm charging you for these. So, bring your own gear in the future."
"So, there is a next time."
Ava turns to face him and narrows her eyes. "You're an ass."
"So, you've said, but what I don't know is why."
"Something tells me, you already know that?" She pushes past him and walks toward the door.
