LILLIANA

After submitting our last few assignments for the semester, we all took a moment to sigh out of relief—one thing was over.

"See you girls next semester!" Professor Johnathan said, smiling at us and warning that he was going to suck the lives out of us in the next semester which was going to be in September, we were still a few months away from it.

"I might just die, Professor so there are very few chances I'll show up for next semester," I said to him in a jokingly manner.

He turned concerned. "Why is that, Lilliana?"

Cora leaned closer to him and whispered, "She found her mate and it's someone no one wants to know about."

"Oh, that's great! Congratulations!" Johnathan said, believing my mate was a Prince Charming. "Is he from the pack?" He began questioning.

"No. He's from a nearby pack," I wasn't supposed to tell anyone but obeying the beast was getting so difficult when I hadn't seen him in the past four days.

"Oh, well, I hope everything goes well."

I gave him a nod and then dragged Cora and Ann out of the university. We left the campus and drove back to Far Waters. Elk Creek University was just a twenty-minute drive away and I loved it especially since it was so near to the town. We were jumping into our third year next semester.

I drove Dad's car back to the town while Ann and Cora danced on a song that played on the radio. When it finished, we were back into being bored.

"Still no response from your Daddy?" Cora teased, pushing a finger in my stomach.

I choked on my breath but still managed to drive, "Daddy?"

"I mean your mate,"

"Nope, nothing yet. Been waiting for four days but it seems like he has disappeared," I shrugged, and then took a breath to calm my nerves. I wasn't going to panic until there was something to be worried for.

"Oh, it seems like he doesn't want you. Did you tell him something last time? When are we going to meet him?" She asked, curiosity in her tone.

"Cora, I have met him only twice, all right?"

"Still, you're the first one to find a mate among us. Look at us, still waiting for someone to come and mark us." Cora grunted, leaning against the car seat.

"Right!"

As we entered Far Waters, I stopped the car in front of a restaurant so we could treat ourselves with something nice after slamming our heads into the walls to complete the last few assignments we had.

"Beef burger, God, I love that shit!" Ann said, looking at the menu and then glancing back at the server who noted our orders down.

Once we were done with ordering, we waited, for a very long time.

"So, you're coming for the training on Friday?" Ann asked me as she folded her hands across her chest.

Aah, training!

"Yeah, I'm going to start training. Alpha Richard told me I could start from this week so expect me there on Friday," I winked at them both.

Cora's gaze ran over my face. "What if your mate comes and takes you away?" She asked out of nowhere, leaving everyone at the table surprised.
