The Bad Boy's Promises

The bond is stronger than you and I

Nova

Ever since I returned to Stanwood, Kendall and I have grown to have a bond. We couldn't stay away from each other if we tried. I was starting not to mind, but focusing on my studies made it more challenging.

Kendall refused to leave me alone. So, he had no choice but to sit with me while I was working on homework. "Are you almost done?"

I looked at Kendall while sitting on my aunt's couch. "I have to write a paper for English class. No, I'm not done."

"I can write it for you."

I held up my hand. "No."

"Nova, I want to spend time with you. I can't do that when your nose is stuck in a book."

"I missed school because of you. I need to make up my missing assignments to graduate and attend college."

"Why do you need to attend college? Once I mark you, you'll become my Luna."

"Because I still want to attend college. A girl needs goals in life besides becoming a Luna." I rolled my eyes at Kendall's audacity of having a linear viewpoint.

Kendall arched his brow.

Contrary to popular belief, I plan to accomplish my goals without depending on a guy.

"Nova, you'll run a pack beside me."

"And I need to understand how to do that."

"My mom can teach you."

"No. I'm studying business at school to become a savvy businesswoman. So, deal with it."

Kendall raised his brow.

I shook my head and focused on the English paper I was writing.

*******
Kendall

Since Nova wanted to focus on her work, I compromised and moved her to my lap.

"Kendall!"

"Focus on your paper, and don't mind me."

Nova grumbled while I wrapped my arm around her waist and held her in place. She could focus on her homework while I focused on her. Since I had to wait to mark and mate her until her eighteenth birthday, I found other ways to get close to her.

Nova wiggled her ass in my lap, making me groan. My jeans started to tighten with her movements. I had to stop her before I mated her right now. It didn't work as she shifted again. My mate was going to kill me before I could mate with her.

I leaned into her ear. "I need you to stop moving."

"Why?"

"Because you're making me want to bury my dick inside you."

Nova tensed but stopped moving in my lap. Grey was pacing around in my head in annoyance. He wanted to mark and mate with our mate. Unfortunately, I had to wait until she turned eighteen.

I rubbed circles on Nova's stomach while she worked on her English paper. The contact calmed me and my wolf down. It would have to suffice until Nova turned eighteen. If I marked and mated her before her eighteenth birthday, it would be disastrous on many levels.

Unfortunately, Ares didn't get the memo.

Nova's pencil stopped moving as she glanced at me. "What?"

"Nothing." I shook my head.

Nova turned partly in my lap and looked at me. "What is it?"

"I was thinking about when I mark and mate you."
