-HER-

“What was your reaction when he told you?” I ask Lisa while we are waiting for our classes to begin. Meanwhile, Lisa has bought us some coffee.

“I was surprised,” She nods. “And?” I press, “Didn’t you feel scared?” I ask further.

She giggles slightly before answering, “Well, you know how I felt about him since day one. You were the first person I told,” She takes a sip from her cup before continuing, “I wasn’t scared to be particular. Yes, I was somewhat overwhelmed initially but overall, I was very happy. I was already head over heels for him,”

I smile at her. I have seen their relationship develop but I never could have thought that this could have been a possibility. Sidonio is a really nice guy and I am very happy for Lisa. He is also great friends with me too. Now, when I think of him being a werewolf as well, I definitely fell a bit odd but I think I’ll overcome this soon.

“Er… when did you two mate?” I ask awkwardly. She blushes very deeply before answering coyly, “Just a couple of days later he told me about us being mates,”

I freeze and stare at her for a couple of moments in shock. She throws her head back and laughs at my reaction, “What?” I sit up straight, astonished by her answer.

“I told you I was mad for him. I just wanted him so badly. I couldn’t wait,” She adds coyly.

“How is it like… I mean how is it like after completing the mating process?” I ask, fiddling with my cup. My eyes are trained on her face while she blushes even deeper. I know that I might be making this awkward for her but I just want answers to some girly questions.

“It’s wonderful,” She breathes, “I love it,”

“Was it painful?” I continue to make it more awkward.

“Yeah, first times are pain-“

“I meant the marking. Was the marking painful?” I instantly correct myself. She bits her bottom lip before she bursts out laughing. I find myself joining her as well.

“Yes, it was but not too much,” She answers me between her laughs while I am wiping my tears from laughing hard, “Good to know,” My comment makes us burst out laughing again.

“Oh, goddess,” She catches her breath while wiping her tears as well.

“Have you met his wolf?” I ask after we are done catching up on our breaths and finishing our coffees, “Yes,”

“How was the experience?”

“It was wonderful. I love him so much. I feel so blessed,” She whispers while peering at me through her eyelashes coyly. I can tell that she is already daydreaming about him. This makes me think about him and I am soon checking my phone to see if he has replied yet.

My inbox is still empty. The disappointment that I had been feeling since yesterday intensifies instantly. I think this is what he feels when I don’t answer his texts or calls.

“What should I expect in this mateship?” I ask after a long stretch of silence. I check the time. Our classes are about to begin. We wouldn’t have time to talk after that.

“He’ll keep you very happy and always be around whenever you ask him to. He’ll never disappoint. In return, he could get a bit possessive and demanding. It might be a bit more intense in your case since he is a Beta and a hybrid,” She informs me.

I find that she is right about him again. He is already very much possessive and demanding. I don’t know if it could get worse.

“Don’t get overwhelmed,” She advises me, “Just trust your guts and instincts and act according to them. They’re always right,”

Her words somewhat make me feel guilty because I have always ignored my instincts. It was the only thing that gave birth to such a massive misunderstanding and created such a drama in our lives.

“Okay,” I mumble, “Did you ever fight with him?”

“Yeah, we fight now and then but we always talk it out. Communication is important in a relationship. If you ever feel anything just tell him. They’re generally very cooperative with their mates, but…” She trails off as she collects her bag and things.

This makes me check the time. Our classes are about to start. I mirror her actions before I follow her to our class, “But what?” I ask.

“I couldn’t stress this enough. They are very territorial. Sometimes, you’d find it hard to keep up with him but that’s okay. Never get overwhelmed, just tell him when it’s getting too much for you to take. That lad is mad patient,” She winks at me before we finally step into class.

I couldn’t hide the blush that creeps into my cheeks but I chose to ignore it as I busy myself with taking out my notebook and pen before the class begins. The rest of the day passes by in a blur. I am daydreaming in most of the classes.

“I have more questions,” I tell Lisa as we climb downstairs after our class is over. She smiles at me, “Save them for tomorrow,”

“So, you’re going to the pack?” I ask her and she nods, “Sid’s already waiting outside. See you tomorrow!” She leaves after that. I am about to head outside the main building when my phone rings up.

My heartbeats instantly shoot up as soon as I see his name flash on my phone’s screen. I take a deep breath before picking up his call, “Hello,” I croak impatiently.

“Are you still in class?” He inquires.

“They’ve ended. I am just heading out,” I tell him.

“I am in the office. Meet me there if you’re not in a hurry to go home,” He speaks. My feet instantly carry me to his office.

My already racing heart speeds up even more as soon as my eyes fall on him. He is instantly by my side and his lips are on me. He kisses me quite intensely and I forget everything instantly. Though, I soon remind myself to pull back.

“You never came last night,” I frown. He nods, “I got busy with some work. Did you miss me?” He asks expectantly. He’s looking at me fervently. I couldn’t help but melt instantly, “Yes,”
