CHAPTER 39 What's Going On With You

  Ethan

  I find solace in chatting with Mary, indulging in innocent conversations that serve as a distraction from the complexities of life. But deep down, I'm also using these moments to understand Autumn Clark better. Yeah, I am kind of using Mary to learn more about Autumn.

  Inside the library, I wait patiently, surrounded by the comforting scent of books. Mary is the only one permitted to interrupt this solitude.

  As she enters, her steps are soft. I greet her with a smile, eager for our conversation to begin.

  "What took you so long?" I inquire, curious about her delay.

  "I was with Autumn," she reveals, and the mere mention of Autumn's name ignites a flurry of emotions within me. My heart quickens its pace, and a strange sensation washes over me, leaving me feeling both flushed and vulnerable.

  "Come here," I beckoned, and she complied, settling beside me.

  "Are you not busy, Alpha?" she inquired, her tone laced with concern.
