“PLEASE.” I SAID. I cannot bear the pain anymore. Seems like I’m going to burst. I know he can heal me. He can’t be the descendant for nothing.

Then I feel his hand against my chest. The comfort is incomparable. Then I notice his face. He is concentrating at the same time, he is glowing beautifully. And his blue eyes-they are marvelous.

F*! What am I thinking? But his scent is lingering over me now, especially that he is standing before me. I could feel my body reacting. My heart is racing, and my wolf, that I thought I lost, is wagging its tail.

I was surprised with myself when I lost my temper just a moment ago. I just can’t seem to bear the thought of him having some intimate past with Tyler. Hell, I can’t bear him having an affair with someone else. It’s just like my irritation with Drake when I saw both of them so close together.

But I cannot get a hold of myself. I don’t want this life. I don’t like the idea of having a male mate, much more of having one which is actually my situation now. And yet, I cannot deny the fact that he is starting to affect me in any way.

Allen and I have a connection.

I don’t know what’s going to happen to me if he’s not here. I am afraid that I might become some uncontrollable monster like Raven. But I’m afraid the most is falling in love with him.

I’m not gay.

I stared at him and caught him staring at me. I realized my marks have retracted since I could feel no pain anymore. What I feel instead is the touch of his skin against my chest. And that slight connection is making all my insides crazy. My heart seems to pump faster than it should. And I cannot deny the reaction of my pet down there.

Allen has some scent that makes me want to sniff him all day long. It’s a mate thing, I guess.

I clear my throat just to distract myself and of course to hint him that he has been caught staring. And I was right since the sound of it made him looked away and removed his hands. And somehow it left me wanting to have his touch against my skin again.

The sight of him walking away is making me feel empty. But I have to fight it.

…

“GET YOURSELF READY, were going to enroll you in a University.” I heard him say through a mind link.

I didn’t bother talking back. I’m still pissed off by how unthoughtful he is. I just shut him off and got myself ready.

A few moments later and I heard him knock. With my envelope, I went to the door. He was there, standing. No one could tell that he is a douche with that face of him. Well, he’s a douchebag only to me anyway.

He’s got the most intelligent eyes yet, humble. His lips are red and manly. He’s got this jaw with some traces of beard.

He was there so close, yet so far.

I took the stairs and head out first. It was an awkward silence between us.

He opened some garage and revealed a white BMW car. I’m impressed. Just how wealthy are these people?

We made our way for the University which is currently where he is enrolled. I was sitting beside him despite my insistence of sitting at the back. But what can my resolve do? He’s my alpha after all.

So here I am, suffering the discomfort brought by his proximity. I cannot breathe properly because if I do, I won’t be able to contain myself. My wolf is restless. And considering I have to hide my erection.

What a day. I thought as I rolled my eyes.

After a short moment, we finally stopped and I saw the façade of the Institution. Yeah, it is huge. And I could tell there are a lot of trees surrounding it. But I caught a glimpse on Kendrick and I cannot be mistaken in seeing the undeniable bulge in there which left me wondering if it’s surrounded with some “trees.”

“So have you decided?” He suddenly broke the silence and I fidgeted. Given by the fact that my thoughts were quite unhealthy.

“Uh-What?” I asked, barely containing myself as I swallowed several times. If not for the air con, my body would have been soaked with sweat by now.

“Your course.” He said.

“Biology.” I said. “Botany major.” It came out immediately. Since I wanted to be a biologist since High School.

“That’s good.” He commented.

I nodded and was about to open the door when he stopped me.

“Allen.” He uttered softly, more like a whisper but enough for me to hear.

I looked at him, curious.

But I was taken aback with his expression. “Did you and Tyler really have a past?” He asked.

I sighed. “If we had a past, well it’s all about him pestering me throughout my high school. Nothing intimate.” I said.

“Okay.” He said

I paused for a moment, waiting for him to talk again because I don’t know what else to say. But it never came until I was about to open the door again.

“I know it’s going to be hard but,” he was staring ahead then looked at me, “can you please give me a chance to have this mate thing work?” He asked.

I’m not sure how I answered. I just remembered that he said thanks. I opened the car door and found him standing there, waiting.

On the corner of his lips was a curve of a smile. Then for a split of a second, he moved and kissed me on the forehead.

I may have not been able to think clearly but I’m sure, I was smiling like an idiot.
