Chapter 62 CHAPTER 62
SERA'S POV
My lips tingled as I headed to the Cafeteria, nearly skipping in excitement.
My breasts were heavy and my nipples were so hard I had to put my hands in front of me.
I know everyone could smell my arousal but I didn't care. I'm full-blooded now, and I have a mate so I've got nothing to be ashamed of except how I got here.
When I got to the food court, Naomi was already there and she handed me a tray.
"You're still feeding me?"
"Oh because you joined the cool kids now, you think I'll stop?"
"I'm sorry, keep being my momma, you're doing a great job at it."
We giggled like little kids and then found a seat.
"Okay, I like it here but I don't think it'll give us enough privacy to talk and you know we have to talk."
"What about going back to class, your own?"
"You want to run into... him?"
At first, I frowned, I didn't know who she was talking about and then I suddenly did.
Like a slap in the face, Mr Valkori's scent roared around me, and I shut my eyes.
It was overpowering and pulling me in the direction of the werewolf teacher's area.
"He's not in there. Let's go."
It physically hurt to move but I kept putting one foot in front of the other until we settled back into my former seat.
"You miss us?"
"So darn much. We don't learn anything there except when Fabian is in class."
"With how hot and intimidating he is, would you blame them? Sorry though."
"It's no biggie, I know exactly what you mean. I look at him and I want to kneel for him to do all of those BDSM things you keep talking about and on the other hand, I want to dry hump him in front of the class. Blame my wolf for those images."
Naomi's lips went slack.
"Sera Voss!"
"No, Sabrina. That's all from my wolf, not me," I whispered the last part out even though I was giggling.
"He's ruined you for me. Too much!"
"What? We didn't even do anything!"
"Girl you know I have eyes right? Even though you've nearly finished your food, the sign of his lips sucking yours empty is still there. It's like you got a lip job! Was he trying to eat you?"
"No but I want him to."
"Okay, I'm not even gonna think about all of that. I'm so darn happy you're out of that dark place Kane put you in. I was going crazy thinking about how to pull you apart from his psycho ass and although things went crazy, I'm happy you're with a better man now."
"Aww Naomi, I'm so sorry I was such a hot head. I should have listened to you."
"No, your experiences made it impossible for you to think straight. Don't blame yourself. Now back to the main topic. Where have you been!!"
She didn't tell or anything, just stretched the last word again and again and demanding answers I couldn't give.
"So, you know how the council keeps saying I'm some special person or whatever?"
"Yeah, did they give you a mission?"
"You can call it that..."
"Well?? What was it?"
"I'm sorry Naomi but if I tell you, I might never speak to you again or you won't or... Just let it be."
She looked at me and something changed in her eyes.
"I understand."
"I'm really sorry, I want to be open but so much has been happening and it's all happening too fast and I'm struggling. I just... I don't want to get you too involved for your own safety."
"You don't have to apologise Sera. You've done something most people won't do. You trusted me with your secret and opened my eyes to this new, exciting world. My life must have been a dull grey before now but you've trusted me with a very important part of your life and I'll take what I can get. All I want is to be there for you and for you to have somewhere you can be your full self. Because from what I've seen, you're not fully with them and you're not human anymore but with me, you can be both versions of yourself without holding back, okay?"
"You know, I think we should get married."
We laughed so hard my stomach hurt but the relief I felt was palpable.
She wasn't throwing tantrums or complaining about me abandoning her for a new world or something.
She knows that things have changed but she refused to change with it, being an anchor for me.
We were rounding up our food and back to talking about Fabian's hot body when I felt that scent drawing closer.
"I have to go," I said, immediately gathering my things.
"Why? What's wrong?"
"He's coming."
"Mr Valkori? Do you need me to call anybody?"
"There'll be no need for that Naomi, I just want to talk to her."
I turned to the door and there he was.
My saviour and my destruction.
He had me wrapped around his fingers and didn't even know it.
Why wasn't I angry? Where was the repulsion I should feel for him?
He tried to kidnap me so his brother King could kill me.
He wiped my memories more than once even though it would have endangered my life.
The longer I healed, the clearer the memories and I can feel that dilemma grow inside of me.
"She doesn't want to talk to you sir," I blinked to see Naomi standing in front of me, defensive.
"Let her tell me that by herself."
He was wearing a simple jeans and shirt outfit with the sleeves rolled up and his chest bare to see.
Instead of getting pissed, I was getting horny.
Awesome.
"What do you want?" I tried to steel my voice but it came out weak.
Too weak.
And he saw it, I could see it in his eyes that he was planning to take advantage of this bond.
But I wasn't scared of him any longer and mate bond or not, I have a mission to accomplish.
"I just want to talk. I know you must hate me now but just let me speak to you."
"You tried to kill her!" Naomi snapped, her fingers folding and unfolding by her sides. "If she were buried in the ground right now, who would you be talking to??"
He took a step forward into the class and my friend nearly stumbled to the ground.
"Naomi, let me talk to him."
"What?"
"He'll be stupid to try anything here besides, I'm not that weak girl anymore. He'll have to put in more effort to get me to die. Besides I don't want to get you mixed up in this. It's too dangerous."
"You are sure you'll be fine? I can go get Tori."
"She's just going to make a big deal out of nothing and school will close unnecessarily. He just wants to talk. If it becomes anything more than that, I'm screaming."
I said all of this whole looking at him, threatening him with my eyes.
He got my message and nodded his head.
"Fine, but finish your food. You'll need your strength to fight him."
"Thank you so much. I'll text you."
"Don't forget. In fact, call me once you're done so I know he didn't get his fangs into you, okay?"
Why did that idea sound erotic now?
Fuck.
"I'll do just that. Thank you, babes."
I hugged her before letting her go.
And then it was just the two of us.
