Everything changed after that night. Both Tiana and I felt it and continue to feel it. But now, we call it what it is, the beginning of the mate bond. I’m thrilled that she has accepted it as easily as I have. Actually, in some ways, it’s made T an even greater competitor. She’s not only fighting now to get her name on the leaderboard, but she’s fighting to make sure she’s the best fucking Luna any pack has ever
seen.
And I love her even more because of it.
Alpha Dane and Alpha Ryan approached me early on because Tiana now wears a bruise mark on her neck every day. My wolf desperately wants to claim what’s his but knowing that we’re both too young to mark each other, I leave the only mark I can. Her family noticed and pulled me aside to ask me about it.
When I explained what we think is going on, they had looked at each other, as if deciding if what I was telling them was possible.
“Just be careful,” Alpha Dane said. “You won’t know for sure until you turn eighteen.”
“We know that,” I told them.
It wasn’t until I started helping Helen in sparring class that Tiana started leaving a mark on me as well. She didn’t say anything
outwardly, but I’m guessing her wolf was feeling the same possessive need to show that I’m taken. I don’t mind at all. I’ve noticed that Cassie

wears a bruise mark on her marking spot more days than not now too. I can’t wait to see if they are mates. If they are, then I’ll know without a doubt that Tiana and I are mates.
Honestly though, that will just confirm what I already know. And I’m so excited to finish the Academy now so I can start my life with Tiana.
“So, Helen finally defeated The Beast,” T says as we walk to the lunchroom. It’s been months since we decided we were mates. Every day, I feel closer to her, more drawn to her, and more desperate for her. I’ve asked Cole about his feelings toward Cassie and he’s feeling the same way. As we get closer to our birthdays, our desire to be with our mates grows more powerful.
Since I can never get enough of my mate, I’m currently nibbling on her ear as we walk.
“She did,” I murmur her against her neck, making her shiver.
“That was a good thing you did,” she says to me
“Good enough for me to get rewarded?” I growl, feeling her body shiver again.
“You were ‘rewarded‘ this morning,” she chuckles.
“That was hours ago. I need to be inside you again.” I swear every time we’re together, the bond between us strengthens, making it even more difficult to resist her.
A throat clearing from nearby has me pulling away from her neck.
“Nicholas?” Tiana asks, her voice about one degree above icy. Nicky hasn’t been an asshat since hell week, but he’s also been falling behind at the Academy. I haven’t paid much attention to him because he pissed

all of us off at the very beginning. If he says anything snarky to my girl now, I know I’d want to kill him. So, I’ve kept my distance.
“I, uh…” he begins.
I pull Sebastiana behind me, putting an arm around her to keep her there. That’s another thing that has increased tenfold with me. My need to protect Tiana is so much stronger than it used to me.
