Each time I saw Raven,it got harder to keep my wolf in check. She wasn't even in the classroom yet but walking by her usual desk was enough to send an involuntary growl into my throat. She wasn't even sitting there but her scent still hung in the air.
I forced down the beast inside, maintaining control as best as I could. As we got closer to the wolf moon, I was struggling to contain it. I'd had to let my wolf run in the woods outside the school every night this week and it still wasn't enough.
The human part of me was exhausted and losing focus with each passing day as the power of my wolf grew. I just had to make it to the wolf moon. It was the strongest moon of the year. The one that gave us shifters the most power. Our creatures within were at their peak on that night and gained power leading up to it. Once I survived that night, I was in the clear. I could control myself. Control my wolf. But it wasn't easy.
We'd learned so little about mating bonds because it was rare. Most of us never came in contact with our mate. I'd heard the stories. Tales of forbidden love that usually ended in tragedy. I'd also heard how incredible sex was with your mate. Apparently, it was so amazing there was an ancient shifter word used to describe the orgasm that came with it.Furor. From the Latin word forFrenzy.
My wolf rumbled low in my chest and I knew what that meant. Raven was here.
I looked up to see her walking into the classroom, her backpack slung on one shoulder. She was in a white long sleeve shirt and a short black skirt today. All I wanted to do was push that skirt up around her waist and claim her.
But I had to resist.
My dad was still breathing down my neck and I knew he was paying at least one professor to keep an eye on me. If I made a move on Raven, he'd know.
And as much as I wanted her, I needed her to be safe even more. Especially since she was without her magic. Thankfully, Makayla kept me updated on her progress. Or lack of progress.
Part of me wondered if we could get away with hiding in a dark corner. But this was my mate, not some one-night stand.
She waved to me and smiled. It was a smile she didn't use anywhere else. It was my smile and I knew it. Despite my ignoring her, she hadn't stopped being kind to me. It made me feel even worse.
I inclined my head, acknowledging her but looking away quickly so I didn't invite her to come over.
A rush of her honeydew scent filled my nostrils and I knew she took her seat nearby. I didn't have to look up to feel her gaze on me. She was probably waiting for me to give in. Even if she didn't know what we were, she had to be feeling a pull to me. I was lucky she'd been raised in the human world and didn't know the mating bond when she felt it stir inside her. If she came to me, I wouldn't be able to stop myself.
My wolf growled again and my cock twitched, he wanted to claim his mate. And I couldn't blame him.
I'd have to run again tonight. It was the only way to try to wear down my wolf. Keep it distracted. Give it some freedom while denying the only thing both of us wanted.
Once class started, I risked a few glances at her. She was as stunning as ever. Her long red hair hung down to the middle of her back. I wanted to run my fingers through it. I wanted to grab it and tug her to me. I wanted to do everything to her.
Breaking myself away from the thoughts of her lips around my cock, I looked up at Professor Herd. He was droning on and on about portals and magic history. I couldn't concentrate. All I could think about was Raven.
The Wolf Moon couldn't come soon enough. I just had to make it through and then things could return to normal.
