Dylan POV

stared at the districts soon to be beta and frowned, I was unable to read him, however I know for a fact the same couldn’t be said about me. My facial expressions were giving away everything. He slowly lifted his hand up and reached it out in front of him silently asking for a hand shake.

To share his scent caused unease and nausea to sweep through me. Instead in true fashion, I turned around to face them and shrugged my shoulders, trying to feign
