My first class ended when the bell rang. I'm a little more excited to know about these creatures now. Mr. Ham might be an asshole but He is a great explainer.

He told us About many races like shifters, Witches, Warlocks, wizards, mages, Fae, Fiery, Vampires, and more. I found out that my new friend. Deren is also a vampire. She is a very chatty girl but I feel as nice around Darren as nice as I feel around Ariana. We both felt a little bad when we saw that because Mr. Ham has insulted Nora. No one was talking to her. So after the bell rings. we asked her to walk with us to the next class.

"Sure, You gurls are angels. I was bored to death alone." Nora said when we asked her.

We smiled at each other before walking out of class. But as soon as we reached the door. Jacob blocked our path.

"Where are you up to," He asked me with a raised brow before nodding to Daren as though they know each other.

Both Nora and Daren looked at me waiting for my answer.

I gulped hoping Jacob won't embarrass me in front of my new friends. "We still have fifteen minutes before our next class so Daren was taking us to chill somewhere" I explained hiding my nervousness.

"Ohh, Well Daren why don't you guys go ahead. Eva will be there after a few minutes. I need to discuss something with her" Jacob said with a bored expression.

Daren looked at me with my and when I nodded. Nora and Daren both of them nodded their byes and walked away.

I exhaled "What do you want Jacob?" I asked with a tired expression but I was a little happy to see him again.

He as ever didn't reply to me. Just took my hand and starts dragging me into a silent pathway and then into a classroom. I was about to ask why we are there but I have pinned to the wall again as soon as the class door shuts.

"You broke a rule" Jacob whispered.

"Well, I don't remember that I ever agreed to follow your rules but still which rule you are talking about?" I said sarcastically, but the truth is, I was very careful not to break his rules.

He smirked "You stared at another man and even with interest and that smile of yours." He said.

I raked my brain through all the events that happened today. I couldn't remember any time I did as he was claiming. "No, I didn't, "I told him.

"Yes you did," He said.

Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.

"N I didn't," I said again a little panicked now.

"Why wouldn't you?" He asked.

"Because You told me not to it was even one of your rule~" I was answering in haste that I didn't realize I accepted that I was playing on his rules.

He was smirking ear to ear when I stopped rambling " Oh sweetie that means you were following my rules" He said with a grin as he palmed my cheek caressing it.

A Blush crept from my neck to my ears. I'm sure I was red like To-mah-to.

I glared at him and tried to break free of his hold when he suddenly pulled me close by my waist and nuzzled my neck. All my anger dissolved as a tickling sensation works its way to the pit of my stomach. It was like his scent was enveloping me. He bites my neck softly careful not to break the skin. Still, My breath hitched.

"What are you doing!!!" I asked him in a soft voice.

He didn't look up at me or stopped biting but he answered anyway " temporary marking you"

My eyes widen as his words registered. From what Ariana told me, Marking is a way of keeping others away from your mate and making your bond with her permanent. "What!! Why?? I mean Haven't you said not to tell others about me being your mate???" I babbled as I was starting to panic. I can't let someone mark me who I don't know a bit.

He pulled away a little to speak while looking in my eyes "I changed my decision. I don't like anyone else sniffing around what's mine, and I'm not Marking you permanently. just marking you with my scent so people like Ferris stay away from you" He told. shocking me as to I don't know how did he know about Ferris.

Ferris is a wolf shifter. who was in our para history class? He was sitting behind me and continued flirting with me until the class ends. He was a good-looking guy but since I was following Jacob's rules I didn't even glance at him.

I gulped again. "I swear Jacob, I didn't even look at him let alone smile at him" I explained with a tense look on my face. I don't know why I was explaining to him but something inside me want him to trust me.

Jacob's expressions soften a bit. He made circles with his thumb on my cheek "I know baby that's why I was marking you. but it looks likes that marking you right now won't have any effect since you are on your PMs." He said as if he was talking about the weather.

My mouth formed an 'O' as my blush increased. I looked down at my thighs and found out he is right. Blood was staining a small part of my silver shorts. I knew that my periods are close but I didn't think it will be right now or all the time.

Tears of embarrassment sting my eyes. I palmed my face to hide.

"Hey, why are you crying? It's natural isn't it?" Jacob said soothingly as he removed my hands from my face.

"I can't walk around like this out there," I said not looking in his eyes.

"Look at me," He said firmly.

Eventually, I meet his gaze. He held my gaze for a few minutes without wavering a bit "It's alright. I will take you to your room. just stop crying like that" He said as he moved to pick me up.

I stared at him wide-eyed. "Jacob. What will everyone thinks of this!!" I asked when he was walking us out of the room.

"Well, They won't give it any thought. Even if they did. They'll surely think I'm your mate carrying you. Yk Shifters are known to be rough. Their mates can't even walk sometimes " He said his usual smirk was back now.

I blushed again when the meaning of his words registered. And sure enough when we walked out into the hall. everyone would glance at us before smiling and looking away as if they were sharing a private joke. This was more embarrassing than everyone looking at me leaking blood. For God's sake now everyone will be thinking that I was fu*cked until I could not stand.

God. What did I get into?.
