A smile played on my lips from just sitting this close to Kael, coupled with the fact that I don’t have to worry about Damon anymore or being trapped in his forsaken room.

I still don’t know what changed my mother’s mind because Damon seemed pretty determined to use me to taunt Kael and wouldn’t let go that easily unless something happened. Whatever it was, I’m grateful for it, and I wished we could delay the journey to school just for a moment longer so that I could enjoy some more alone moments with him.

I stole glances at Kael, who had his attention fixed on his road. As always, I couldn’t tell what was going through his mind, he looked pretty relaxed, and I didn’t want to ruin that by getting caught staring at him like a creep, but I just couldn’t help it.

His muscles flexed against the wheel, and I couldn’t help but admire how hot he looked. My hands followed the veins that displayed on his arms, up to his face, only to find him already staring.

My breath caught, knowing he’d snap at me for staring at him. I didn’t want the car ride to end so fast, but it seemed I had just ruined it.

I waited for his harsh words to come, but instead, his eyes lit up, and I could have sworn I saw his lips curve up into a smile before they disappeared.

Kael smiling? That’s a rare sight that I’d love to see again. I have seen him laugh with his friends after winning a game, or when they make a joke, but this was the first time he’d smile at me, and if that didn’t melt my heart, I don’t know what else can.

He returned his attention to the road without saying a word, and my hands dropped to my tight. I knew I was pushing my luck, but I wanted to hold his hands so badly while he drove with the other hand, but I knew my limit.

The ride was silent, but it was everything I needed. I had forgotten how peaceful it was to be this free, without having anyone constantly telling me what to do or some bunch of kids, telling each other how they’d like to pass me around.

My stomach churned at the reminder of Damon and his friends, but I brushed it off before the thought could linger in my head. I didn’t want to ruin my day by thinking about that right now. All that mattered was that I was here with the one person I had been dying to see again.

I stuck close to the door, desperate not to piss Kael off because his mood was unpredictable, and I didn’t want` to do anything to have him kicked out like he had done a couple of times.

A dread settled in the pit of my stomach as we arrived at the spot he’d usually drop me, and I was hoping he wouldn’t stop the car, when he stepped on the brakes, and the car came to a halt.

I knew there was no way he could drive me to school, especially when he had just mated with Sabrina. My stomach twitched at the thought of her, and I was suddenly reminded of the mark she had on her neck.

I had been too distracted with Damon and my mother suddenly changing her mind to even think of how awkward it’d be to have her flaunting Kael’s mark around the school.

Inhaling sharply, I pushed the door open, knowing he was waiting for me to get off. He didn’t have to say it, and I wondered if a day would come when he wouldn’t be so ashamed of people seeing us together.

I took off my seat belt and was about to get down when Kael grabbed my arms, yanking me closer. My heart skipped a beat from the sudden pull. My heart drummed against my ear, and I couldn’t tell what was going through his head.

He held me in the same position, just staring at me, when he leaned forward gently. I stood still, unsure if he was reaching for a kiss or not. I didn’t want to act when I didn’t even know what he was reaching for.

His lips grazed over my hair, and he inhaled the scent as if he were trying to take in what I smelled. I stared at

him blankly, too stunned to even think when he placed a soft kiss on my forehead.

He released me after that, and for a moment, I forgot how to breathe. He didn’t ask me to leave, but I knew we couldn’t stay here for long.

My legs wobbled as soon as I stepped out of his car, and they almost gave out. He drove off without another word, leaving me standing in the middle of the road, dumbfounded, as I wondered what had just happened.

My legs could barely move, and I ended up dragging my foot to school, walking slower than ever, as I reminisced about what happened over and over again.

The bell rang the moment I stepped into the school, but I was too stunned to rush over to class or even think straight.

The hallway was unnecessarily crowded than usual today. I went to my locker, suddenly wishing Alpha Zane had extended the holiday for at least a day or two before school resumes again.

With a long sigh, I shoved the book I’d be needing for my next class into my bag when a group of girls standing next to me caught my attention at the mention of Kael.

I slowed down to hear what they were talking about, only to see them giggling, as they talked about his coming-of-age ceremony.

“Did you see how great they looked together? I was so jealous,” one of the girls whined. “For a moment there, I wanted to push Sabrina away and replace her.”

Another one sighed. “Lucky girl. Her parents are filthy rich, and now she is going to be our future Luna.”

“She has everything! That girl doesn’t know what it feels like to work for something. I want to be her so badly,” another one groaned.

“How about we get on her good side? No one can mess with her now,” another one suggested, and I’m afraid I’ d puke if I were to hear any more praises about Sabrina.

I closed my locker, walking past the other students, and thankfully, they were too distracted about the Kael and Sabrina mating ceremony to notice me.

I really hoped there wouldn’t be any more pranks because I had no single strength left in me. I wandered to class, unsure of which class we’d be having first. I didn’t check my timetable earlier, and I just wanted to make it through another day when I noticed the class was awfully quiet.

Everyone sat down nervously, too scared to make a comment, and I wondered what game they’re playing this early. Today is the first day of school, and they’re already pulling pranks?

I went to my seat, already pulling out my bag when my gaze fell on Kael..

My eyes widened as I blinked, trying to see if I wasn’t imaging things. Kael came to class early? That’s a first. Everyone’s reaction finally made sense. What is he doing in class so early? Didn’t he have practice or something?

Even on days he didn’t, he’d rather engage in other activities than sit in class and listen to the boring lectures, let off coming early.

He’d always walk in after the teacher like he owned the place because technically, he did. My gaze dropped to the open book on his desk, and I couldn’t help but glance at him.

He’s not planning something, is he?
