Chapter 314: A ssage
"You good?" Grayson asked
for the 10th ti ever since we started classes.
I just randomly mixed the chemicals and I wasn’t so sure I was listening to the instructions.
"Are you sure you know what you’re doing? No offense but don’t blow up this in our faces, it’s a total D minus or sothing if that happens, and not a good way to start this year"
I sighed, dropping the glass tube. "He’s not here, Grayson," I said looking towards the door with a slight hope he might co in.
"Hey, let " he took the glass from
and started mixing. "I will do the mixing and you write down the samples okay?"
I nodded and all of a sudden it was deja vu again, last year Dace was my lab partner and it was also the first ti we actually talked to each other, I could still picture him seating beside
as he gave
a random smile and asked
what my na was, how tense and I was and shy, shy to the point I couldn’t et his eyes, they were just too beautiful and then when he was cautious of not touching
and how hurt I felt by that.
But now I understand why, his body was already physically attracted to
and yearned for any feel of it, and then the accidental touch at the lobby, the heat I felt, and the electricity.
I sighed heavily as I closed my eyes, relieving those monts before I flush them open. Grayson was right I had to stay focused or else we might get a D, I made a promise to myself, a promise that I would start focusing more on my school life for the sake of my future, I was so caught up last year with all the supernatural happenings around
that I give little thought to school and that will change.
"Alright everybody let’s round this up" our teacher announced and I quickly got to work supporting Grayson as much as I could.

"So do you guys have superpowers?" Henry asked with a goofy smile on his lips disturbing Grayson as he ate his lunch. He has been rambling all sorts of questions in the past minute.
"Dude let him eat in peace okay?" Miles sighing.
"No we don’t, we just jump trees and stuff, have a good hunting instinct," Grayson said chewing on his apple
"Damn that’s so cool, to be honest, I thought you guys were extinct. It’s an honor seeing one of you"
"Well, he’s not completely a Venator," Owen said, shrugging. "He’s half warlock"
"So we have two halves now," Sarah mused.
"Hmm" Grayson only made a sound and I just ate my chips not in the mood to talk.
"So are you gonna like... attend night school with us?" Henry asked.
"Nope," Grayson said in a simple tone leaving no room for more questions.
"Is that allowed?" Sarah whispered to Owen.
I heard my phone vibrate and I slid it out of my pocket, my body instantly ran cold and I sat up with a start gaining their attention.
"You okay?" Owen asked with a worried expression.
"Yeah just have to use the restroom real quick," I said quickly rushing out.
I turned to the lobby and checked my ssage again, was I dreaming?
DACE: Co to the lab
Definitely not! Because after forever he finally texted , I should be elated, yeah I know but right now sothing was building within
and it was... anger.
I walked through the doors and slamd them shut the mont I walked in, the lab was completely empty and the blinds were closed, the only source of light was the sun’s reflection.
My eyes scanned the entire place until they settled on a figure standing at the end, he stepped forward and Dace ca into view with a smile on his lips, a smile that lted my very heart and how breathtaking it looked on those lips begging
to rain kisses on... how ssy his black hair was but suited him, it still didn’t stop the urge to walking up to him and running my hands through it until I arrange them.
But he gave
the ease when he ran his hand through them.
"Hey baby girl"
My knees went weak just hearing his voice, hell my panties were already a ss but... I folded my arms across my chest as I walked up to him and stood at a little distance from him.
"What?" he mused, spreading his arms, aren’t you gonna hug ?
"No hugs," I said sternly but I was dying to just throw myself in his arms and allow his broad fra to cover
up and shield
until I forgot the world itself existed and it was just
and him in a warm embrace.
He exhaled sharply as his hands fell to the sides. "I know you are angry with
for not calling and I’m sorry"
"This is not the first ti"
He took a step closer to
but I inch backward, and he frowned.
"You know how our relationship is, we barely see each but I thought we weren’t gonna let that stop us"
"I know baby, it’s just-"
"If it’s about what happened that day with your claw I told you I’m okay"
He opened his mouth again but I didn’t let him.
"Don’t bla yourself for hurting
or not protecting
enough, don’t torture yourself, if you torture yourself how do you expect
to feel"
"Emma"
"Talk to
Dace, what’s going on with you"
"Just let
hold you first"
I inched backward and I shook my head, the hurt beca more evident in his eyes, I felt it too but I pushed it aside.
"Talk to , Dace"
He exhaled again looking to the side before bringing his eyes back to . "I haven’t seen you for damn two weeks baby, and I’m losing my mind, you should rember you’re not just mated to "
"W-What?"
He closed the distance before I could blink and I drew sharply at my breath, the heat consud
to the point my brain went numb for a few seconds. A table was behind and I felt my back to it. Dace used that opportunity to cage
in with his hands on the table on both sides but he made no attempts to touch
yet.
"My beast misses you too," he mused.
