Lycan's Mate (His Claim) Chapter 31

Fiona's POV

Nobody expected for that to happen. I mean, we all knew that it was extremely disrespectful for her to come up to you like that, but we never thought you would fire back. Who would've thought?

I rolled my eyes, nudging him with my shoulder as we made our way to homeroom.

"In all honesty, I didn't expect that either. I don't know what came over me."

He shook his head

"You still don't know, do you?"

I looked up at him in wonder. What in the world was Anthonio talking about

He let out a soft sigh as he slung his arm around my shoulder, making me stop on my tracks.

"Fiona, the goddess chose you for a reason. What you did today just showed exactly why she did. You have something in you that no one else has. And that little thing that happened back there, that was just a preview of what you were destined to do."

I pursed my lips, tilting my head to the side as I thought it through. I had to admit, that feeling that occurred to me was extremely new. I was a little frightened by it, but my body had immediately welcomed it. Was that what Anthonio was talking about? Was I finally realizing my power in this pack? I rolled my eyes heavenward. I sounded so idiotic right now. I mean, don't I sound stupid saying that? I have no power whatsoever. Maybe what I felt back there was simply all the stress that had been building up over the years. Cicilia just so happened to be the perfect target to let it all out on

I shrugged my shoulders.

"I guess."

He shook his head and let out a frustrated sigh.

"You'll see eventually, Fiona".

"Why does everybody keep saying that?" He lifted his eyebrow down at me.

"Okay fine, not everybody. But Sara told me that yesterday when we were at my house."

He chuckled and maneuvered us towards our homeroom as he spoke. "Because it's the truth. Don't worry Fiona, you'll be fine."

"Hey, where's all the confidence that you just had back there with my sister?

I nodded. "I hope.

"Back where your sister is probably looking dumbfounded."

He let out a loud laugh as he opened the door for me. I smiled in return and stepped inside, noticing that most of the people in the class were probably still standing outside near Cicilia. I sat down in my seat, sending a small smile at Anthonio as he made his way towards his own. It wasn't until we sat down that I noticed the rest of the class enter. Most of them sent me bright smiles while the others nodded respectfully as well as….was that admiration I saw in their eyes while they did that? Huh, I must be seeing things

I looked up at the clock above the teacher's desk, seeing that we still had one minute left before class began. I turned to my left, disappointed to see that Blake was still not here yet. Where in the world was he

I looked back at Anthonio whose eyes immediately met my own. He must have realized why I had suddenly looked back at him, seeing as I never really did since I was always distracted by Blake, and motioned with his eyes to the seat in front of him to his left. That was exactly where Cicilia would sit everyday. It wasn't until seconds later that it clicked in my brain where Blake was. At that exact moment, the door opened wide and with it emerged one of the most amazing guys I have ever laid eyes on. Is it normal to never get tired of seeing your mate? Every single time I looked at him, it was like the very first time I had ever encountered him. Is that weird?

My eyes remained focused on his form as he gruffly sat down on the seat beside me. I noticed that his arms were tensed beneath his black t-shirt and his hands were clenching and un-clenching above the desk. If he would've been clutching it, I would have no doubt in my mind that it would snap beneath his tight grasp. His eyes were a pitch black color and I knew that his wolf was close to the surface. Reaching out my hand, I laid it gently against his shoulder and his eyes immediately snapped to mine. I almost winced under their heavy gaze, but I kept my composure as I stared deeply into them

At that very moment, the door opened once again. I caught a brief glimpse of Cicilia as she silently made her way to her desk with her head hung loosely in front of her. I knew now that the reason for their tardiness was due to the fact that Blake was probably scolding her for our little episode earlier. Anthonio had probably informed him about it, or maybe even Black. Whomever it was, I knew that Blake wasn't going to let it go unnoticed

I felt his body tense once again, probably catching her scent as she passed by him, but I immediately squeezed his shoulder, trying to gain back his attention. Thankfully for me, it worked instantly. I could feel the sparks emanate between us and I tried my best to suppress a shiver. He must have felt it too because his eyes were still a dark shade, but they no longer held the tension of the confrontation he just had with Cicilia. I smiled reassuringly at him, pulling up my right hand and placing it above my chest where the wound used to be. He looked down at my hand, his eyebrow raising in question

"Thank you," I whispered, knowing that he could hear me despite how low I had whispered those words

His eyes seemed to brighten a shade as a broad smile filled his full lips.

"Anything for you, beautiful," he whispered back, leaning down and kissing the hand that still rested on his broad shoulder.I couldn't help but blush at the gesture as thoughts of him kissing me took over my conscious mind. I pulled back my hand and faced forward, pulling out my notebook in the process. I heard him chuckle beside me, which only made me blush even harder. He knew exactly what he was doing to me and he was enjoying it! I glared down at my notebook, only to have a smile spread across my lips. Damn him and his effect on me

Just then, Mr. Mason stepped inside the classroom, bowing his head in Blake's and my direction before he placed his briefcase on his desk. Without hesitation, he pulled out some papers, no doubt the essays we had done last class, before writing on the board the lesson for the day

I stared at the board, reading each word that he wrote before I felt a paper fall in front of me. I looked down at it, seeing his handwriting scribbled on top. I looked up at him, immediately meeting his eyes. He motioned for me to open it with his hands before looking back to the front of the class. I looked back down and unfolded it carefully, trying my best to not make much of a sound. Oh, who am I kidding? I am surrounded by werewolves who have sensitive hearing. They could probably hear the ants that are probably marching about in the classroom next door! Well, I'm not exactly sure how strong their senses are, but I'm pretty sure they could all hear me fidgeting with the paper in my hands

Are you okay

I wrote back to him as quickly as I could and handed him the paper. He read it quietly to himself, which wasn't much of a reply really. All I said was that I was perfectly fine and asked him why he was asking

From the corner of my eye, I saw him write down his response before he handed me the paper. I glanced up at the board, only to find Mr. Mason still writing as the rest of the class began their own conversations. I didn't bother listening to them. I had one of my own. Even if it was the old fashioned way

I'm sorry for what had happened with Cicilia. I had no idea she would do that. Then again, I'm not surprised either

Why

"Well, Cicilia has always had a crush on me for as long as I could remember. She would try way too hard so this whole incident she had with you wasn't a complete surprise"

My eyebrows pulled together as I read his response. My cheeks turned a bright red, and not because of embarrassment this time. I was furious

. How dare she throw herself at my mate? But then again, I wasn't exactly around when she used to do that. Thank god I wasn't because I would've probably ripped her head off or something. Not that I would've been successful because my strength wouldn't even compare to her own

Oh, well that's interesting

Anthonio.

But I must say, you handled it pretty well on your own

Wait, how do you know what happened

I turned around and found Anthonio staring at me with a wide grin on his face. He winked in my direction before his attention was focused back on Mr.

Mason I smiled at him, even if he wasn't looking, and turned back around to respond to Blake. He told you everything

Every single detail. I wish I was there though. Seeing my mate like that would've been extremely sexy.

My mouth dropped open at his last response and I could feel my cheeks burn a bright scarlet red. I suddenly felt his eyes on me and I was thankful to have worn my hair loose today. I turned away and allowed my hair to fall against my face, completely obscuring my cheeks. But it wasn't much of a success because I heard him chuckle beside me. I could feel a sensation erupt inside of me at the mere thought of him thinking of me that way. There was a tingling sensation emanating downstairs and I couldn't help but cross my legs just to contain myself. To say that I was completely distracted would be an understatement. My mind wasn't allowing me to concentrate as I continuously pictured his half naked form standing in the middle of my bedroom. What I wouldn't give just to be there right now with him that way. The things I would do to him in the privacy of my room. Wait, what the heck? Why am I thinking this way? Snap out of it Fiona!

I heard a low growl beside me and I instantly knew where it was coming from. If my cheeks could brighten another shade of red, they definitely were now. I gritted my teeth, trying hard to even out my breathing and my now fast beating heart. Why in the world am I allowing myself to get this way? I'm pretty sure that Blake could sense it, and probably smell my arousal at the very moment, so I seriously needed to calm down before things got out of hand again.

Before I knew it, the bell rang and it was already the end of first period. I gathered my things as quickly as I could to get as far away as I could from him. Being this close to Blake wasn't helping me whatsoever and it felt like I was suffocating.

The second I stuffed my notebook in my bag and zipped it tightly shut, I felt a presence hover over me and I slowly looked up at him. I immediately noticed his eyes were pitch black and I silently cursed myself for getting out of hand in front of him. But looking into his lust filled eyes only made me want him even more. I knew exactly what was going on in his head and they were probably identical to what I was thinking of at this very moment

"Come with me," he said huskily, grabbing my arm and practically dragging me out of the classroom.

I didn't dare protest as I allowed him to lead me to some other place in the school. As I peered around his large form, I knew that we were heading to the section of the school where the library was, which was where barely anybody went. I could feel many eyes on us, but they didn't dare utter a word as we passed them by. I could briefly notice them bow our way before they continued to make their way to class

Next thing I knew, I was being slammed onto the wall beside the double doors that led to the library and pressed down by his larger body against mine. I seemed to be in this kind of a situation a lot more nowadays.

I didn't dare look into his eyes, afraid that by simply looking I would feel a lot worse. I knew his wolf was close to the surface and if I were to allow myself to get more aroused than I already was, there was no doubt in my mind that Black would have to struggle a lot harder with his wolf than he has already done before

I felt his lips press against my neck, making me involuntarily moan at his touch. That only made him press his body a lot harder against me, but I was surprised to find that I didn't feel uncomfortable under the pressure. Instead, I wanted him to push against me harder and close any small space that currently separated us. His lips traveled down towards my collar bone before I felt him nibble my skin. The second he did so, I let out a small yelp of pleasure and found myself gripping his soft hair with both hands. I could feel his friend downstairs harden and I tried my ultimate best to ignore the sensation it caused me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him. Taking in a deep breath, a small growl vibrated through his body as he pulled away to look at me. It wasn't until then that I noticed that we were both breathing heavily in unison. Apparently the small amount of contact made us feel like this. I wonder what would happen if we took a step further. Dammit, here I go again

I noticed how his jaw tensed and he closed his eyes, taking a deep breath. "You really need to calm yourself down, Fiona." His voice was low and husky, which only made me bury myself more against him.

"I'm sorry. I don't know…." my voice trailed off the second it hit my ears. I was surprised to find my voice practically matching his own. To me, it sounded extremely desperate and humiliating, but I guess it wasn't that way for him

"Why must you tease me like this?"

My eyes widened in shock. Wait, did he just say that I'm teasing him? I am actually doing that? It's kind of hard to believe when no guy has ever thought of you as being attractive before. So just the mere words caught me off guard

He shook his head as he stared down at my lips.

"You have no idea what you do to me, Fiona. Just your mere scent drives us insane."

I smiled, looking down at his chest and noticing how he was breathing heavily.

"I think I do," I whispered into the air between us

I felt his lips press against my forehead and I sighed contently at the mere touch. I wish his lips were somewhere else, but this would have to do. Seeing how both of us were, kissing wouldn't be the ideal thing to do right about now

"We should get going," I said, looking up at him as I heard the bell ring, signaling the beginning of second period

He let out a loud groan before he reluctantly pushed himself away from me. But instead of letting me go completely, he pulled me along and pressed me against him. My body flushed against his as we stared into each other's eyes. I truly couldn't believe that this guy is my mate, despite the fact that he is a werewolf and I am simply human. But I wouldn't argue with destiny. And besides, I knew for a fact that I will never allow for anyone to take him away from me. He is mine.
