Chapter 6: five

“Harry…Harry…Harry!”

I could hear a distant voice chanting my name, awakening me from my perfect dream. I tried to block out the sound as much as I could, wanting to stay in my dreamland for as long as possible.

“Harry Edward Styles.” The same stern voice spoke, yanking my pillow from underneath my head and smacking me straight in the face with it.

I groaned in annoyance, rolling over on my stomach so I could hide my face in my mattress. I pulled my sheets up over my head so I was cocooned under all the blankets.

“Why the fuck did I tell you my middle name?” I rasped out in my morning voice, still staying huddled up in my bed. I could feel the intruder attempting to pull my sheets out from under me, but I wasn’t going down without a fight.

“Don’t make me get my bucket.” The noise I now identified as Greyson, warned.

I rolled my closed eyes, squirming in my sheets to find a more comfortable position. A hammer couldn’t even get me out of this bed.

“Fine.” He huffed, releasing my sheets after one final tug. I knew he wasn’t trying that hard to get my blankets off. He’s an Alpha. I know he’s way stronger than me and could be able to rip off my blankets in a second if he was trying. He’s probably just as tired as I am, and doesn’t think it’s worth the effort. Good choice. “But don’t come crying to me when I come back and you realize you missed your first day of Uni.”

My eyes shot open, my mouth falling slightly agape, “What!?” I flung my covers off of myself, scrambling to get out of my small bed. “Why didn’t you say that sooner?!”

“I tried! You were just so out of it, you weren’t even paying attention.” He rolled his eyes, crossing his muscular arms over his chest and stepping a bit away from my bed so I could get ready.

“How much time do we have left?” I asked hurriedly, throwing off my pajama shirt and tugging on a new one from my closet.

“About a half an hour. Give or take a few minutes.” He shrugged, strutting over to his side of the room and plopping down on his unmade bed. I quickly took notice that he was already dressed, with his knapsack waiting by the door. “Rhys should be here soon so you guys can walk together. He told me you guys have the same first class.”

I knitted my eyebrows in confusion, trying to rack my brain for when I ever told Rhys that I had the same first lesson as him. “I don’t remember ever telling him that.”

“Oh, well maybe I did then.” He pursed his lips in thought, shrugging his shoulders after a couple of minutes. “I don’t know. I might have mentioned it after I showed you around campus to all your classes.”

I nodded slowly, shimmying into my black skinny jeans after having taken off my sweatpants, “And you know all of Rhys’ classes?”

He gave me a look that simply says ‘duh’, “Of course I do. He’s my mate. I need to know where he is 24/7.”

I lifted my eyebrows at him, taking my stick of deodorant and applying it to my underarms beneath my shirt, “Don’t you think that’s a bit obsessive?”

He shook his head, still giving me look as if I were stupid, “Not compared to other Alphas. Some Alphas would have someone physically bring their Omega to each class. Rhys is lucky I only wanted to know what classes he has and where.”

I sent him a look of disbelief, grabbing my toiletry bag and walking over to the dorm door. I motioned for Greyson to follow me and then we both set off to the bathroom down the hall. You see, in this dorm building, the bathrooms aren’t attached to each and every dorm room, there’s only three for the whole floor. The one closest to our room is at the other end of the hall, near The Tops’ dorm room.

Before I could get any closer to the restroom, I felt Greyson grab my arm so I would stop walking. I turned and gave him a questioning glance, my eyes flickering down to the tight hold he had on my upper arm.

“Uh…” His eyes were wide, looking past me and down the rest of the hall. I hesitantly turned my head to see what he was staring at. All he seemed to be looking at was The Tops’ dorm room door.

“What?” I asked impatiently, seeing nothing wrong with the situation except for the fact that he’s making me more late by wasting time standing in the hallway.

He shook his head to rid him of his thoughts, clearing his throat and then turning his attention back to me. “Nothing.” He spoke reluctantly, releasing my arm and starting to take off his sweater

“What’re you—“

“Put this on.” He instructed, handing me his overly large University sweater.

I cocked an eyebrow at him, eying the article of clothing with a skeptical look, “Why…?” I spoke slowly, in a questioning tone.

“Just do it, okay? Quickly.” He snapped, his eyes hardening while he pushed the sweater further into my arms.

“Okay, okay.” I muttered, immediately starting to haul the large sweater over my smaller frame. It was a simple grey sweater with the University name in bold black letters across the front. The hem of the material came down to below my butt, and it went about halfway to my palms.

He nodded once to himself, seeming satisfied with his instructions. I rolled my eyes at him, clutching the toiletry bag to my chest as I crossed my arms. “Can we go now?”

He nodded once again, biting his lip and then waiting for me to start walking. I shook my head at his weirdness, but nonetheless started walking the rest of the way to the restroom.

Greyson waited outside while I went into the washroom, looking just like a guard who was protecting some sort of secret passage way. I made him check before hand to see if there were any Alphas already in here because I didn’t want to have to brush my teeth while some huge Alpha was trying to get in my pants. He deemed it clear, and I hurriedly did my bathroom routine. I brushed my teeth, splashed some water over me face, and quickly ran a hand through my unruly curls. I didn’t need to do much since I didn’t feel like taking a shower this morning.

“Done?” Greyson asked once I opened the bathroom door and walked back into the hall.

I simply nodded in response, already starting to walk back to our dorm room.

When we arrived to the room, I quickly unlocked the door and waltzed in. Greyson closed it behind himself, going back to his side of the room and plopping down on his bed with his phone in hand.

“Rhys texted. He said he’s already waiting outside our dorm building.” Greyson informed, typing something on his screen while he talked. “So hurry up. I don’t want him being outside on his own for too long.”

I rolled my eyes at his overprotectiveness, throwing my needed binders and textbooks into my knapsack. “Why doesn’t he just come up?”

He gave me an ‘are you serious’ look, “You know I don’t like him coming up this hallway by himself. Its dangerous with all the Alphas, even if he is already bonded.”

I huffed, shoving the last bit of my supplies into my bag and dropping it on the floor near the door. “Okay, just let me make my bed and then we can go.”

Greyson groaned in response, hitting his head on his mattress dramatically, “Can’t you just do that later? We only have ten minutes now.”

I chose to ignore him; pulling the sheets that I had thrown off myself back on the bed and tucking them back into place. It didn’t take long considering the bed is so small, but it was necessary nonetheless.

“Alright drama queen, lets go.” I sighed, slinging my bag over my shoulder and opening our dorm door back up.

“Finally!” He cheered, picking up his own backpack and walking out the door with me. I locked the room once he was completely out, and we both started our way to the elevators.

When we made it there, Greyson pressed the down button that signaled that there were people waiting on this floor. It didn’t take long for the elevator to arrive, so we both slipped in silently.

Before the doors could close, I caught sight of four very familiar boys walking down the hall to this exact elevator. I heard Greyson gasp beside me under his breath, and not so surprisingly, when I turned to look at him, he was staring at the exact same thing as me.

The four Alphas immediately caught sight of us, their bodies tensing up in the process. I was in a trance with them, watching with wide eyes as they all simultaneously started charging towards the almost closing doors. I could hear Greyson repeatedly pressing the button on the panel to make the doors close, but I still couldn’t remove my eyes from the four huge handsome wolfs making their way to us.

Fortunately, the doors closed right before they could make it into the lift. I could finally remove my eyes from staring straight ahead so I turned my attention to Greyson. His eyes were blown wide as he breathed a sigh of relief, slumping back against the metal wall of the elevator.

“W-What was t-that?” I asked curiously and breathlessly, gulping in a huge breath of air. It seemed that I forgot how to breathe when I spotted those four Alphas.

Greyson jumped out of his trance as well, looking at me quickly before looking back ahead at the closed doors. “Nothing.”

“No, don’t tell me its nothing!” I snapped angrily, giving him a heated glare for his lack of speech, “That was clearly something and I know you know what was happening.”

“No, I don’t. They were probably just messing around.”

I sent him a look of pure disbelief, about to question him further when the doors opened back up and we were settled on the main floor.

“Greyson!” I shouted, once I noticed he already started walking out of the elevator and to the main doors. “Greyson!” I repeated, hiking my bag further up my shoulder and picking up my pace so I was beside him again. “Would you slow down and tell me what’s wrong?”

“No.” He snapped simply, glaring in front of him the whole time and not even sparring me a glance. “Leave it, Harry.”

I shook my head, looking away from him as well and just focusing on my pace of walking. Soon the carpeted lobby turned into the cement stairs as we made our way outside. I immediately spotted Rhys, and I guess he spotted us as well because he was already skipping over with a large grin plastered across his face.

“Hey!” He greeted happily, hugging his boyfriend tightly and then turning his vision to me. “Hi, Harry! Long time no see.” He giggled, bringing me into one of his bone crushing hugs as well.

I offered him a small smile in return, still sensing the thick tension between Greyson and I from what we had experienced in the elevator.

Rhys seemed to have noticed it as well, because he began to question us with a worried look now painted on his boyish features, “What? What’s wrong? Why do both of you look so frustrated?”

“Its nothing.” Both Greyson and I said in sync, sending Rhys a reassuring smile. It didn’t look like he bought it, but he kept his mouth shut anyway.

Greyson slung an arm around his Omega’s shoulders, crushing him into his chest and smiling down at him, “C’mon babe, you guys should head to class so you’re not anymore late than you already are.”

Rhys nodded, extending an arm towards me, “You ready, H?”

I nodded a little, hesitantly taking his outstretched hand in my own and walking up beside him. It was a silent walk between the three of us, all of us probably off in our own little world.

I was still confused as to what those Alphas wanted with me. I mean, I’m seeing them everywhere now; it’s hard to stay away. Almost every time we make eye contact, they start chasing me like I’m some sort of prey. It freaks me out to be honest. Thank god I’m never alone when it happens. I don’t think I’d get away as easily if I were to ever face them on my own. I would really like to get a better look at them though. I’ve never really paid attention to their features in that much detail. I always ended up frozen in shock every time I’m with them. I should really make a mental note to study them next time I see them—or if I ever see them again. Oh who am I kidding? I’m definitely going to end up running into them one way or another.

“Okay, this is where I’ll have to leave you two.” Greyson announced, stopping at the end of some street that I’m not too familiar with. I know I’ve seen it before when Greyson was showing me around, but I can’t be sure. There are so many streets. “My class is down this street, and yours is just down there.” He pointed not too far along the side of the street we are already walking on.

Rhys and Greyson quickly shared a quick hug and kiss, “Be good, babe.” The Alpha of the two said in a stern but loving tone of voice.

“Aren’t I always?” Rhys teased, giving one last kiss to his boyfriend before pulling away.

“Later, H.” Greyson nodded towards me, obviously still feeling the somewhat little tension between us.

I nodded at him, pursing my lips and averting my gaze to somewhere else. Greyson left us both quietly, walking down the opposite street that we were on.

“Alright, we only have two minutes left! Let’s go!” Rhys laughed loudly, linking our arms instead of grabbing my hand again and started jogging down the street to our class building.

I trotted along beside him, my curls bouncing on my head. Suddenly, my eyes widened as they darted behind me to see that Greyson was already long gone.

“Shit.” I swore under my breath.

“What?” Rhys asked curiously, obviously sensing my discomfort.

“I forgot to give Greyson his sweater back.” I sighed, glancing down at the large University sweater that was still loosely hung around my frame.

“Oh, I don’t think he’ll mind. Just give it to him later.”

I nodded in response, still feeling a little guilty because we did kind of get into an argument before and yet I’m still wearing his hoodie.

A/N: This was supposed to be longer but I have a math text to start studying for…bleh :(

Anyways,

Just a little head up:

I’ve been getting a lot of messages asking me when I’m going to update this story and stuff so I just thought I’d tell you how I normally update my books.

I update the book that I haven’t updated in the longest. So basically, this can’t get updated until I update the rest before this. However, if I get like this huge blast of ideas I might update a certain book sooner. Idk it’s rare.

But yeah! So, I really like when people message me about what they like about certain stories of mine or what they think is going to happen…it’s really sweet! Message me if you have any questions about my books or their stories :)
