The Night Wolf novel Chapter 52

Felix groaned from the backseat, but like the third wheel that he was, he was ignored, making him regret that he didn't choose one of the other cars to drive.

"Do you want it to go away?"

Willow was taken aback. Did she? No she didn't. It felt like he had left his mark on her, as if he had claimed her. It felt so intimate. "I-no."

Rowan smiled one of his 'I'll make you pregnant just by lifting my lips' smiles. "Then it won't."

Willow felt her heart skip a beat. "Okay." Willow rubbed at the bite mark, she swore that she felt tingles over it.

"That is a mark. You mark your mate, to make the mate bond deeper than it already is, it also makes others known that you have a mate, and would also keep other unmated males away."

Willow stayed quiet, she wanted time to take everything in.

And just like that, in minutes Rowan was pulling up at Onyxscar High.

Willow was a nervous wreck, she felt anxiety bubbling up inside her as she stared at her school in front of her and the students moving around it. She did identify most of them, they were her tormentors. She felt a chill run up her spine when she was reminded of the past year and its horrors. She wanted to do nothing but ask Rowan to take a U turn and go back home.

Rowan, as if feeling her nervousness, took her hand in his. Willow felt herself relax but what happened last spring still stayed fresh in her mind. "You'll be fine, I'll be there beside you the whole day."

Willow wanted to tell him that they won't be able to stay together the whole day, but she couldn't bring herself to ruin his fantasies. So, Willow just nodded.

Felix groaned from the backseat before shuffling out of the car. Willow felt more anxious when the majority of the people in the parking lot, turned to stare at Felix before turning to stare at them, since they still weren't out yet. Willow doubted they could recognize her, from the car.

"Hey," said Rowan cupping her cheek and drawing patterns on her hand. "Relax, breath in, breath out."

Willow opened her eyes to find Rowan staring at her with a smile on his lips. His lips, were redder than usual making Willow want to kiss him again. She wondered if her lips were equally reddened and swollen, when she smiled back at him, she did feel that her lips were stiff. Her already flushed face blushed some more.

"Sorry, I couldn't help myself." Said Rowan.

"You don't have to." Was out of her mouth before she could stop herself.

When Rowan was going to kiss her again he stopped before sighing. "Felix wants to kill us."

Willow looked out the window to see Felix glaring at them, making Willow blush. But she remembered that the windows were heavily tinted, so she was sure Felix couldn't see them.

Willow moved off Rowan's lap when she finally took notice of their position. Clearing her throat, she shouldered her bag. Rowan grinned before pecking her on the lips before getting out of the car, before Willow could open her door, Rowan was already standing outside and was pulling the door open.
