ARIANA'S POV.
"Luke Howard. The Luke Howard we all know. The Lycan Alpha? Oh my God. Oh my God." She was going crazy staring into space like she wasn't even talking to anyone, but to herself.
"Alright, so we're in the middle of a project, and I'm sure Justina will do well to explain it to you. Previously, she had no partner as a punishment, and then everyone else got taken, so even after her punishment, she could find no one to partner with her. Now that you're here, you may as well partner with her. Like I said, she'll brief you on the details, and… Welcome." She held out her hand, and I took it.
Her palm was warm and soft. I felt like I could squish it forever, if permitted to.
"Thank you, ma'am."
"So here's your timetable. Everything you'll need is here. Just make references to it whenever you have questions, and if your curiosity isn't satisfied, you can ask Jasmine or me."
"Thank you so much, ma'am."
