Chapter 9
Victor's POV
I woke up with smile on my face, Yesterday's events playing in my mind. The words that Mia spoke about us made me blush. After a stressful and tiring week, it felt amazing to sleep with my mate in my arms. It helped me to heal even faster. I stretched my arm to get Mia near me but the bed was empty. I looked at my mobile, it was still 7 am in the morning
She must have not left for school yet. I sniffed to get her scent, she was not in the room. I was getting worried, when I heard front door open. I went outside to check and there she was at door with tray full of breakfast
I sighed with relief and went to hug her. She was taken aback with my gesture and tried to balance the tray
"Hey! Careful, you will hurt yourself." She said worried
"I am almost healed. Where were you?" I asked with concern
She went and placed the tray on the table
"I went to make breakfast downstairs"
"You could make it here itself"
"How can I make whole pack's breakfast here"
"What do you mean, why you made breakfast for everyone?" I asked with frown
"Because I am assigned to do so" she said getting plates from kitchen and serving food in them
I was not able to process what she said. She was assigned to make breakfast??? Then it struck me. All Omegas are assigned some work in pack house
"You didn't tell me about you assigned duty?" I asked
She just shrugged
"I will talk to Stella"
"About what" she asked
"You don't need to do it. I will ask her to relieve you"
"Nooo Victor. I...I like to do it, its ok"
I went and hugged her from backside. Keeping her close to me
"You have pack duties, trainings, than school, job; where do I fit in?"
"As if you are free yourself, Head Warrior Kentucky" she said pulling me in front and making me sit on chair, indicating me to eat
"Well; I have a solution for that" she said with mischievous smile
I raised my brows to her
"Why don't you train me." She said casually
"But you are already getting trained by Killa. She is good" I said, concentrating on eating my food.
She eyed me
"Yes she is good. But what the point in having head Warrior as your mate, if he can even train you" she said picking up the empty plates and going towards kitchen
My little mate is getting bold. I chuckled at that thought
"Let me warn you miss Mia, that I am a very Strick trainer. I don't go easy on my students." I said pushing her aside to wash the dishes myself.
"And let me assure you, Warrior Kentucky, I would not want it any other way" she said pushing me and taking plates from my hands
"Well it depends on what I get in return"
"You get to spend time with me, while doing your favourite thing."
She was right actually I would love to train her and spend some time with her. But I doubt, how much of training we will end up doing
"Are you going to school?" I asked her following her outside in living room
"Are you taking off today? You need to rest"
"I am healed totally, but I am on leave today" I said removing the bandage.
"I will take leave too then." She said and looked at me with horror in her eye
"Hey what are you doing?
There was just a faint thin red line at the place of wound. Lex had healed me
"Ohh! Its healed" she exclaimed, running her finger across the scare
I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her close
"So when do you want to start training?" I asked
She looked at me with her innocent big eyes with smile spreading in them. She beamed with joy and threw her arms around my neck and pecked me on my lips
"You will train me, really?"
I was pleasently shocked at her boldness. She had never initiated any thing like that before. She was smiling whole heartedly, I wanted to capture that smile with mine. As leaned forward, staring at her luscious lips, there was a knock at the door
Jace.
Mia POV
I was so happy, Victor agreed to train me. We were having a moment for ourselves, when there was a knock at the door.
Victor sighed as Jace peeped inside. I tried to break free from Victor but he held me tight.
"What do you want" he asked Jace, annoyed.
"Mia, you are not ready yet for school?" Jace asked ignoring Victor.
"She is taking leave today" Victor replied, before I could say anything. Why is he being rude to Jace.
"You promised me that you will help me find my mate" Jace told me.
"Did I?" I asked not remembering when I promised.
"Yes. You. Did. Now go and get ready." He said pushing Victor aside. Freeing me.
"Ok, I will get ready." I said going inside looking at Victor. He nodded towards me.
We were roaming around school with Jace trying to pick scent of his mate. Scent that will mesmerize him.
I was already late for my class, so there was not point in attending lecture. As if I was interested.
It was almost lunch time and we had still not found her. Perhaps Jace's mate is not in school. Jace suddenly halted in front of ladies washroom, sniffed hard.
"It's her, It's her I can smell her. She is inside" he said excitedly and started walking inside. I hold his hand.
"Hey! Stop. It's ladies washroom, and you still need to look at her to be sure." I told him.
I sniff
"Jace, she is..."
"Human!" Jace completed my sentence.
Having a human mate is a bit... complicated.
"Is she crying?" He asked getting angry.
He again started to go inside.
"Let me go in and check"
"Please be quick." He was getting agitated.
I went inside and saw a girl standing at the sink and putting some ointment on a really bad bruise on her hand. I looked "Bianca!"
She flinched looking at me.
"M..Mi..Mia.."
Bianca was the most troubled girl in the school. She always kept to herself, never made friends and was always scared of something. I had tried to talk to her many times but she never reciprocated. She was bullied by everyone in school.
She is Jace's mate?
I looked at her hand.
"What happened? Are you ok?"
"Ya..ya I..I am ok. I..I just fell."
Ya, that cliched answer...
"Umm lets get you checked, I.."
This is gonna be very difficult. I just pray for Jace.
"Ok! Its almost lunch time. Will you come with me for lunch?"
"NO I.. I am fine" she said getting scared.
She nodded and grabbed her bag. We went outside. Jace was pacing in the corridor. He stopped as he saw us and kept staring at Bianca.
Bianca scooted near me seeing Jace.
"Thats my cousin Jace and Jace this is Bianca." I introduced them.
She looked at him and said 'Hi' which was hardly audible.
Jace took a deep breath and went stiff. I knew, what that meant. They were indeed mates
We went outside in a cafe to eat and talk. Bianca was reluctant and almost backed out after knowing Jace was coming with us, but agreed in the end to my relief. She was hardly eating anything and kept stealing glances at Jace. Was she able to feel the bond? Do humans feel the bond? Jace somehow had gone unusually quite after looking at her bruises. I cleared my throat to say something.
"Bianca, I know you didn't fell. You can tell us what happened."
She looked at me with horror and started crying. I hug her patting her head
"It's ok, we are here. Don't be afraid." I told her looking at Jace. He was clenching the fork in his hand. He was having hard time controlling his wolf.
"My..my.. stepmom... She and my stepsister harass me and make me do all the house work and if I make any mistakes...they... they punish me."
Ohh goddess! We have our very own Cindrella. But not to worry her prince charming is here now.
