~Amara~"MATE!"My wolf Isabella said possessively when I locked our lips and I heard the excitement in her voice. I know Isabella was so happy because she has been wanting to be close to her mate for quite some time. I was the one who was holding her back all this time.Even though I had rejected Nicholas twice on the piece of paper and told him verbally.The mate bond was still taking a toll on me and it was hard to ignore it.It was so strong and I couldn't ignore it anymore.Whenever I looked into those green eyes, I couldn't help the fire igniting inside me. And whenever I saw him close to any female, jealousy got the better of me.Sometimes I felt like walking to him and grabbing his hand so that the fucking world could know that he was MINE!Nico froze in place when I walked to him, tiptoed and locked our lips. I know he wasn't expecting it but who cared? I just wanted to know how it would feel with his lips on mine.I just wanted to know why Sandra was so obsessed with Nicholas. I
~Nicholas~"Do you think I should tell her the truth?"I teased Amara through the mind link and saw fear in her eyes but she tried so hard to remain calm.For some reason,I felt bad that Amara and I were not that free like other mates."Amara was teaching me some biology practicals which I didn't understand. "I explained to my mother and a smile graced her lips.Only the goddess knew what we had done just minutes ago. How was I supposed to explain to my mother that it was heated in here before she knocked on the door?How was I supposed to tell Mother that I had kissed my Step-sister? That she was my mate?"That's great! Studying together and sharing your thoughts is a good idea."My mother said and her lips curved into a smile. I could tell that she was convinced by what I had told her.I looked at Amara and she nodded at my mother's words and smiled warmly. Damn it! That smile made me want to kiss her again but I exhaled deeply to hold back."I think I should get going," Amara said and
~Amara~I felt as though someone was watching me from the shadows. I couldn't help but turn my head to look at the window and there he was.Nico was watching me through the window,his long dark hair covered half of his face and I couldn't see him clearly.Nico brushed the dark locks away from his face and tucked it behind his ear carefully.His action made me swallow hard and it gave me an opportunity to have a clear view of his face.The corner of my lips curved into a smile and Nico smiled back at me.Isabella purred in my head and I could feel the mate bond getting the better of me.I couldn't believe that Nico and I had come this close over a short period of time.I recalled our first kiss yesterday night in his room under the bright lights from the chandeliers.It made me feel things that I couldn't explain.Just minutes ago, Nicholas kissed me again."Take care,"Nicholas told me through the mind-link and I nodded at him. I felt concern in his voice and it made my heart melt into a pudd
~Amara~My father was quiet when he heard my question and I couldn't help but get more worried.My heart pounded wildly against my ribcage but I took deep breaths to calm down."Did Mrs. Pamela refuse to lift Nico's suspension?"I asked my Dad in almost a whisper. The look on his face was enough to tell me that things didn't go that well and the hope that I had crumbled into tiny pieces.Dad's lips changed subtly into a smile, "She has agreed to lift the suspension."A sigh of relief escaped my lips when I heard my dad's words."Really? I thought that maybe the conversation didn't go that well because you looked so sad when you walked out of the deputy principal's office. I was so worried about everything because…I don't think it was fair for Nico to be suspended. He was just trying to help out."I told my father and he nodded at my words."You don't need to worry anymore because Nico will be coming back to campus tomorrow."My father assured me.We were still talking when my Dad's phone ra
~Amara~The door clicked open and there he was, his dark shoulder-length hair was a mess and I could tell that Nico had run his fingers through it countless times. His eyes were slightly red and he smelled of cigarettes that made me scrunch my nose since I didn't like the smell of it."Smoking again?"I complained and saw worry in his eyes. "I have brought you the schoolwork that you missed because of the suspension."I shrugged nonchalantly and tried as much as possible to remain normal. I could hear my heart in my ear thumping wildly against my ribcage because of the anxiety that was building up inside me.I decided to lie because I didn't want Nicholas to know that I had been longing to see him.That I couldn't stop thinking about him while on campus.I couldn't help but wonder if Nicholas missed me as much as I missed him. I didn't know if he wanted to see me so badly the same way I had been yearning to look into those emerald eyes. I wanted to ask him but…decided to hold my peace bec
~Amara~Patricia and I finished preparing dinner and we ate happily as we talked about random things.My Dad and Patricia talked to us and we promised them that we would try hard to stay away from trouble on campus.I just hoped that that bitch Sandra will stay away from us too because...it would be hard to keep the promise if she don't stop pestering us.We bid our parents goodnight and headed to our room to have a rest.I walked into my room and heaved a deep sigh. It felt so lively while having dinner and it reminded me of the old days when my father, mother and I would have dinner together.Heaving another deep sigh, I walked to the closet, picked up my nightgown and slid into it. I crawled under the warm sheets and curled myself into a ball.I tossed and turned on the bed as I tried to get some sleep.However…I couldn't bring myself to sleep. Nico's face was the only image that appeared whenever I closed my eyes.I was about to toss on the bed again when my phone on the bedside table
~Amara~"Do you think I would have allowed you to kiss me if I wouldn't have accepted you as my mate?"I asked Nicholas with a raised brow and the corner of his lips curved into a smile.I saw the happiness in his eyes, perhaps he thought that I hadn't accepted him. How would I resist Nico when all I wanted was to be close to him? I wanted to spend every second with him around me, I wanted to look into those green beautiful eyes. I wanted him to kiss me every single day.Without saying anything, Nicholas locked our lips and I gasped in surprise since I wasn't expecting it. I was stiff in the beginning but I pulled myself together and kissed back Nico, wasn't that what I wanted?I know I was not a good kisser but I wanted to kiss him and I didn't care if I was good at it or not.I was breathless when Nicholas broke off from the kiss, my chest rose and fell as I tried to recover the oxygen that Nicholas had just sucked from my lungs."I want to hear it from you, Amara. I would like you to
~Amara~Nicholas gritted his teeth when he heard my words. I was provoking him so that he would go to train with me. I just wanted Nico and Luke to be friends because I know they have never liked each other from the first day."Okay!"He said in a bold voice and stood up from the wooden chair that he was sitting on. He was wearing black pants and a loose shirt.My lips curved into a smile when I heard him respond since my plan had worked."What will you give me if I prove to you that I'm much better than Luke?"He asked with a raised eyebrow and the corner of his lips curved into a wicked smile. There was no doubt that whatever was going through his damn head was something…"That is a secret…"I winked at him and a deep frown settled on his face."Come on, we need to get going. I know Luke is waiting for us in the training field! I don't want to keep him waiting for that long."I informed Nicholas."Where are the two of you going?"Patricia asked us with creased eyebrows when we stepped foot
