Trevor
A group of people in our level gather to play truth or dare and Lia goes to join them, so I follow.
"Rosalia, truth or dare" one of the people ask, Lia responds with "truth."
"Do you like anybody in our level?"
Lia pauses and looks around very briefly "no" she says and everyone boos. I realize I'm not happy with the fact that she doesn't like anybody in the level.
A few more rounds go off and Lia is dared to give a lap dance to any guy in the room. I'm half expecting her to come to me, but when she goes to another guy and gives him the lap dance, I'm boiling.
I remain mute burning holes through her face and I can tell she's avoiding my gaze.
"Trevor, truth or dare" a girl asks
"Dare" I reply
"I dare you to kiss any girl in the room" she says and with the way she's twirling her hair I can tell she wants me to kiss her.
I stand up and move to Lia "can I?" I ask. She seems taken aback and the moment she nods. I kiss her, the feeling is explosive, she tastes like strawberry, her lips are so soft.
I find myself pressing against her body, my hands going everywhere it can while kissing her like she holds my last breath. Her hand tangled up in my hair and I love how it makes me feel.
Someone clears their throats and I step back. Lia looks away, and I want to leave the building with her, I want to take her to where we can be alone.
I go back to sit down and pull out my phone to text Dave.
Dave: I've been telling you, she's your mate
Me: I'm not sure how that can be though
Dave: You can smell her, and sense her, that's about all the proof you need, but now you're feeling things too. You need to mark her as soon as possible, then bring her to the kingdom
I pocket my phone and look back at Lia, I don't think I can mark her, at least not now. I've heard of cases where a wolf tries to mark his mate when she doesn't love him and she ends up dying. I can't let that happen, if anything, I must make Lia fall for me.
Once the games become boring people start leaving. "Rae, I'm tired" Lia says and I mumble finally under my breath. It's already past 9, she's drunk. "Yeah well, you can go home with your bodyguard, I found a man I want to stay with" Myra says and I roll my eyes at being called Lia's bodyguard.
"I'll take her back" I say as I take Lia's hands and start leading her out.
Once we're out on the road she throws up and I keep patting her back. "You shouldn't have drank so much" I tell her even though there's really nothing she can do.
"You keep doing things that confuse me, staring at me like you like me, dancing with me like that, just keep hating me like you used to" she says
"I never hated you"
She looks at me obviously shocked "yes you did, we're academic rivals, you're always trying to beat me."
"I just love a good competitor and that's you, it doesn't mean I hate you"
She rinses her mouth as we approach the dorm. "So you like me?" She asks and I clear my throat
"Now that's a stretch" I say in a bid to make the mood lighter and when she laughs, I smile proudly.
"Today was nice" she replies as I unlock the room door, as I put out my hand to switch on the light, I feel her hand as she turns me to face her. I follow her lead not seeing clearly. The next thing I feel are her lips on mine. I falter a bit before holding her head and deepening the kiss. She's leading me to her room when I feel my wolf in me awakening, I can't control him all of a sudden, and my fangs are soon out. If I don't stop I'll probably bite her and I can't, at least not yet, so I push her away.
"Listen, I can't do this now" I say and before I can explain further, she's apologizing and scrambling inside her room.
I growl angrily at myself and walk to my room feeling extremely unhappy.
The next morning she's gone, I have no idea where she is and how I'd look for her.
