“So?” I look at Liam, did I miss anything?

“So?” I raise on eyebrow, he sighs.

“Do you want to be my mate?” I stand up and sit on one of the chairs. I wasn’t expecting that. I close my eyes and sigh before looking at him.

“I want to be your mate but I still need to time to process all of this. The fact you’re an Alpha, Edward being a problem…. I just need to regroup and actually think about what exactly I’m getting myself into because I can fight. I’m just not sure if I can lead with you. It’s a huge responsibility but I know I’d have made an informed decision by the end of the week. So, Mr Alpha, are you willing to wait?”

Liam shakes his head and chuckles.

“Cant I persuade you in any way to not break my heart? I can be very, very convincing”

I look at him, if you were to step in, you’d think we are in a staring contest. He smiles at me, I smile and shake my head.

“Not happening, Alpha Liam. I’m twice as convincing as you will ever be. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to call my friends before they butcher me.” I take his phone and dial Luana’s number.

Luana:”Monday is tomorrow, remember that. No bunking school missy or else I’ll have your head. By the way, we’re having dinner at Kate’s place, I’ll send you the address. Hopefully you come back markless?”

“What about you, how’s paradise?” she knows I’m referring to her mate

Luana:”So I met up with him and we spoke about the incident that shall not be named, yeah I guess we’re okay. He’s being super loving and all that and there’s a bet between which one of us will be marked and mated with first. I’m totally not allowing him near me until you and Mr Mafia Lord get together. Like officially.”

I can’t help but laugh.

“Well my dear friend you’re definitely gonna lose because I am very competitive. I will definitely not let anything happen between us until you and your mate do something about your single status”

Luana:”Bye loser!”

“It takes one to know one, byeee” I hung up and laugh before handing Liam his phone back.

“So there’s no hope for me?” He pouts, I laugh. It’s not everyday you see that!

“At least I’m giving you hope that something will happen someday, Mr Mafia Lord.”

“How did I even get that nickname?” Oh yeah, I never actually told him.

“Well Luana made it up after you came to pick me up looking like a gangster of some sort. Also because you magically got my number, how did you get my number?” I ask him because I’ve been meaning to ask him.

“Well, let’s say I have my ways. On a serious note though, it was kind of easy because almost everyone knows your name at campus because you’re the mysterious ninja spy girl afterwards I just got your number from the school records.” That’s my nickname, how? “Before you ask why, it’s because you intimidated everyone because of your aura and looks.”

“Should I be flattered or not?” Liam shrugs.

Why is my nickname so ridiculous compared to his?

….

Liam and I are walking together towards Kate’s house. My instincts are telling me not to go in but what could possibly go wrong?

Liam and I are both dressed in a casual white T-shirt and skinny jeans with sneakers and white jacket.

“I can’t believe you actually copied my look. What happened to being original?” Liam looks at me with a smirk.

“You stole my look, dear mate. Remember, you’re the one who took hours getting ready while I was watching TV after getting dressed.”

“Oh please, spare me your lies!” I knock on the door while he laughs. Nobody answers so I open the door and enter with Liam.

Why do I have a bad feeling about this?

“Your Queen is here!” I instantly freeze at the kitchen entrance and drop my phone.

Liam steps in and notices.

“Kass, we need to talk” Luana says calmly, I look at her and slowly shake my head. I can’t believe this. Why is he here? Why?

“You allowed him here? You called me here yet you knew he was here?”

“Yes, I did but he wants to apologise, give him a chance.” Luana takes a step towards me, I shake my head and take a step back.

“Micheal’s best friend, Tyler Gordon is here. The same guy who ridiculed me. He would whip me just because he could. He would inject me with wolfsbane and expect me to still serve him tea. He’s a monster! He even… you’re unbelievable, Luana.” I step out of the room but Luana follows me
