Helena’s POV :

The weekend went by in a haze, and my mother did confirm that I had to marry my mate within 7 days of meeting him. It was after all tradition. I walked down the hallway but somehow I felt as though today was different. I smelled the same strawberry scent, and I could tell that my mate was nearby. Senses took over and soon, I found myself looking at a gorgeous Asian boy, whose skin was a bit pale. I looked at him more, but I could see that his expression was the same as mine, so I blushed. ” Hi,” he said, sending butterflies in my stomach. “H-Hi,” I answered. “Do you perhaps know where these classes are?” he asked, scratching the back of his neck whilst giving me a piece of paper.

It took one look at it to notice he had the same classes as mine. ” Uhm, we are in the same classes, so you can follow me,” I said not wanting to say the m word but oh, wasn’t he adorable. He wasn’t like all the other boys, there was a sense of calmness that he offered, like, ugh I’m bad at explaining. ” Would you honor me with your name atleast? ” he asked looking deep into my Hazel eyes with his piercing brown eyes. I almost got lost in them, once again I blushed. Oh, I might as well become a blushing mess. ” My name is Helena, you?” I finally said, trying to seem as calm as possible but he could already see that I was anything but calm.

” I’m Luke , nice to meet you Helena, I’m honored to know you,” he said. The bell rang, as if he couldn’t have had enough effect on me he held my hand , as I led the way. We settled for a seat at the back, but I could sense girls eyeing him, sooner or later, they were going to pounce like little cats, but I will protect what’s mine. ” I really hope the teacher doesn’t notice I’m new, I don’t like the attention I’m getting,” he said truly meaning it. Luckily for him, he didn’t have to deal with the introduction part. It was breaktime and Luke was still with me, and I didn’t feel annoyed about that.” Aw, princess, have you found yourself a boyfriend? Who you leaving me with? ” a boy said, and I immediately knew whom it was.

” Listen here stupidhead, I got my pretty boy and you just ain’t reaching his standards,” I hissed and looked at Luke, whom was smiling but Charlie just wasn’t done with what he was doing. Stupid human. He then held my chin and looked me in the eye, trying to flirt, before I could punch him in the face, Luke pushed him and looked at him with killer eyes. ” Pretty boy, she’s mine, now leave her cause I just don’t like sharing with anyone, especially family,” Luke said, but I could see the fury in his eyes. ” Oh come on farm boy, we all know you two haven’t even kissed. I’m pretty sure she can see who’s better, ” he said making the crowd of learners laugh.

” Unlike you, I’m a gentleman and I don’t go around kissing nearly half of the population, like I’m sure you did, ” Luke said sitting down but Charlie pulled him using his shirt.” See, everyone, farm boy is nothing but a good old speaker who’s got no strength. If I were you darling, I’d choose me, cause I’m the best. I also got the best kisses, ” he said blowing me one and I gagged. Within seconds Luke had pinned Charlie on the table and whispered words I could only hear.” She’s mine, and I don’t fight with attention seekers, ” he said and left Charlie a bit shocked. An embarrassed Charlie stood up, but not without glaring at Luke ” Watch out farmboy, cause I’m good at what I do,” he winked and went away.

I was partly expecting Luke to kiss me to prove them wrong but he just sat down, calming himself down. Looking up, he said “You want to go to the library? Cause I think you and I need some us time,” he said, looking at me with a warm smile, like nothing ever happened. ” Yeah, sure I mean we still have 45 minutes left,” I said really wanting to get out of the cafeteria. When we reached the library, Luke looked around, and saw that there was no one. With a swift move, he pinned me on the wall, and looked at me. My heartbeat had increased, as if it wanted to get out.

” W-What are you doing?” I managed to say between hard breaths. ” Asking for permission to kiss you,” he said smirking. So this was the real Luke, hardly could not believe how fast he could turn. ” N-not here, we w-will get caught,” I breathed out but he had other plans.” Don’t worry, I’ll wait til our wedding day, I’ll surely have to kiss you then, “he said leaning down to kiss my cheek, and he let me go. I turned pink and blushed, he looked away and as I peeked through I saw that I had the same effect on him, his cheeks were pink. He then gestured me to sit down and I did so. Before I knew it we were both chatting about our lives. I was shocked to find out that he was from Japan and not China.

I was a bit curious about his parents, which he did not bring up under any circumstances. Instead, I was the one telling him about my family history. I expected him to get bored in between, but he didn’t. All he did was listen carefully and I liked that about him. The moon Goddess really did a wonderful job with my mate. Sadly, all good things come to an end and breaktime was over. I was a bit startled to see both Lilly and Christian not at school. Whatever made them absent wasn’t at all good. Luke is quite a cool, nonchalant person. He is a bit mysterious though, I wanna know more about him. Everytime he holds my hand, sparks run through my body but mostly my hand.
