“Thanks, Renee” I thanked her and hopped off the car.
“Alright, pay attention in class or I’ll have Wymond spank your @ss later” she winked at me before driving off in a dangerous speed.
I took a few deep breaths before turning and heading towards the school gate, but someone suddenly jumped on me from behind -I already know who it was.
“Dolphin” I whined. “Get down, you’re hurting my wounds”
She hopped off without wasting time, then rubbed my back softly.
“I heard about how you dealt with those barbarians, it hurt me that I missed such a great show” she said in a regretful tone. “I shouldn’t have gone home” she added.
“Trust me, you didn’t miss anything” I consoled her.
Besides, I’m thankful she wasn’t there because she wouldn’t stand by and watch those wolves hurt me, which in turn would get her hurt too.
“Why is your face red?” she asked me and studied my face. “No, I’m wrong, you’re glowing” she said.
“I’m glowing?” she nodded. “How do you mean?”
She squinted her eyes and studied me for another few moment, then shook her head.
“I don’t know how to put it, but there’s a glow around.. like, you seem happier and healthier even though you’re still kinda injured -it’s like you’ve fallen in love with your mate, right?” she hit my wound and I grunt.
“Dolphin, do you wanna make yourself my enemy?” I growled at her playfully.
“Of course, I wanna know how it feels to be enemies with you” she joked along.
I chuckled.
“Oh my gosh, you’re so weird” I said.
“Of course and you’re even weirder” she pinched my cheek softly as if I’m a little bunny. “But on a serious note are you falling in love with your mate?” she asked.
“Falling in love…” I trailed off.
Honestly, I don’t know the answer to her question at the moment. I don’t know if this is love between us, or if it’s our mate-bond working, but is there any difference between mate-bond and love?
“You’re falling in love with him!” she shouted almost too loud, luckily not too many people are around us.
“Let’s not talk about me, let’s talk about you” I changed the topic quickly. “You still haven’t found your mate yet, aren’t you worried?”
She sighed and stared dejectedly at her feet, but shrugged her shoulders and quickly cheered up.
“I’m not worried at all, I might just get married to Arthur if I don’t find my mate -after all, I’ve been crushing on him since he was a pup” she said and laughed at the last part as thought it’s a joke, which I know clearly it’s not.
It’s true that she’s been crushing on Arthur since he was a pup, after all, my brother’s always have that devastating handsome face that anyone and everyone would fall in love with at first sight.
But it’s not true that she’s not worried about not finding her mate, she just doesn’t wanna make me worry too.
“You have a mate but just haven’t meet him yet”
She scoffed.
“Yeah, right”
“About you come live with me in the palace, different species do come to the palace to see and discuss their clan or pack issues with him”
“Hm-mm, what does that has to do with me?”
“I mean, your mate might not be a werewolf, who knows, he might be the dragon King or vampire King…”
She cut me off with a laugh, she threw her arms around me and kissed my cheek.
“Girlfriend, I get it that you’re worried about me, but you can’t let me be a homewrecker”
“Huh?”
“Those Kings have mates already” she said.
“Oh, well, you can be the dragon prince or vampire prince or elf prince’s mate -anyway, just come stay with me in the palace”
She sighed.
“I’ll think about it baby” she told me, then linked our arms. “But for now, let’s go to class” then she started pulling me towards our first class.
