She's the luna I want novel Chapter 15

AMARA.

I had never changed clothes as fast as I did today. I knew how much Jace hated waiting, as Catherine told me about the many times he left her when they needed to be somewhere because she was taking time to fix herself.

And as much as I wanted to look extra beautiful for our ‘first date’ I was left with no choice but just to apply a sheer lip gloss and put my hair down after slipping into regular jeans and a midriff top.

As much as I wanted to show some skin today, I didn’t want to push my luck too far. It was enough that he was taking me out to eat somewhere.

And that he picked up from school.

And that he allowed me to call him my boyfriend — even if this was all an act.

I rushed out of my room and bumped into Amber, who was about to head to the room she shared with Cassidy.

"Hey! Why are you in a hurry?" She blocked my way, so I had no choice but to stop.

"Jace is waiting."

"I knew it. I saw his car. So are you heading to the packhouse? Can I come?"

"No. We will eat out!" I placed a soft kiss on her cheek and was about to go when she grabbed my arm and pulled me.

"Can I come? I hate eating dorm food." A mischievous smile played on her lips.

"No!" I glared at her before she burst into laughter.

"Oh, Goddess! You should see your face. Now tell me this is just a game, Amara Grace. Because I’m one hundred percent sure you’re crushing on Alpha Jace." She spoke in a hushed tone before letting my arm go.

"Whatever you feel, keep it to yourself. Like how you keep your feelings for Zach a secret." I kissed her cheek one more time before I walked and ran toward the stairs, not waiting for any response from her.

"Curfew is at seven." She ran after me as if I didn’t know this.

"I know. I got ample time to head back." I waved at her one more time before I disappeared at the stairs to rush out, only to see the daughter of the Moon Lake Alpha, Alice, also living in the dorm, talking with Jace.

She was outside the car, and Jace just rolled his window down, but the way she was holding on to the window frame just ignited jealousy in me.

I tilted my head up and smiled at the other females I met along the way until I got to where Jace’s car was waiting.

"Hi, Alice!" I greeted her, but I didn’t look at her.

I went directly to the passenger’s side and opened the door. I heard her say hi back then, but I didn’t acknowledge or look at her this time.

"You’re back. That was fast." Jace smiled at me as I sat beside him.

"Because I know you don’t like waiting," I answered him, as I buckled up.

"Thanks." He said this before tilting his head to look at Alice again while turning his engine on. "Lady Alice, we have to go now."

"Sure," she responded sweetly and stepped back. "We can catch up some other day, Alpha Jace."

Jace just nodded his head before he rolled up his window and began maneuvering the car out of the dormitory ground.

He didn’t say anything, and I wanted to show him that I was irritated with Alice, but I couldn’t keep myself from talking.

"Do you like it when females address you as Alpha Jace?"

"What’s with the question?"

"Why have you never addressed me as Lady Amara?"

He chuckled before he turned his head to look at me. His forehead creased, but a smile was written on his face. And for some reason, I was under the impression his good mood had something to do with Alice.

"What’s with your weird question?"

I didn’t answer.

"Would you rather I call you Lady Amara than Kitten? Than brave heart? or simply Amara? I can do that… Although I like kitten better. It suits you better than Lady Amara."

I rolled my eyes and kept my focus straight ahead with my arms still crossed on my chest. I had no right to be jealous, but I couldn’t help it. I was sure if I opened my mouth, I would sound like a brat, so I tried to shut it for now.

"Hey, is my girlfriend jealous?" He asked after a while.

And although a smile was tempting to crack on my face, I did my best to remain with a poker expression and ignore him.

"Lady Amara… Nah, I don’t like the sound of it."

Silence.

"Come on, if you don’t talk with me. We’ll turn around, and I’ll drop you back to your dorm." He was still chuckling and having fun with this.

"Kitten. Come here, purr at me."

That was it, a smile slipped and curled on my lips, and no matter how I kept biting my bottom lip, I couldn’t help smiling.
