My mate, My exception novel Chapter 34

"Jen, I don't want to do this just for your body. I love you, as in all of you. Our wolf-side though craves dominance and power. That side makes it a chore to make us one. That side of me is what craves to do this. My wolf wants to know your safe as our mate."

I don't know if his words exactly comfort me but it kind of made sense to me.

"Why can't you just mark me now and I can move in with you when school is done?" Even with everything going on I couldn't leave school. I didn't want to nor would my parents ever allow it.

"Well Jen, once I mark you, you will go into heat. Once you go into heat, school is the last thing you will be worried about." He looks somewhat uncomfortable when he says this.

"What will I be worried about then?" I demand from him.

"Me. You'll desire me." He tells me intensely. I shudder.

I knew I was already falling in love with Jake. I knew I was attracted to him and even knew that I would get to the physical side one day. What I didn't know was if that day would be anytime soon. I was still intimidated by all things sex and intimacy.

Jake continue one in a technical tone to explain. "When a female is in heat they crave their mate. Their body feels as if it's on fire and they beg their mates to just mate with them. But the males can't."

"Why not?" I ask.

"I told you this a week ago." He kindly reminds me. "After a female is marked they must wait exactly seven days to mate. If the go a second earlier then the female could suffer. In the last, she-wolves have become infertile or permanently ill because of it."

"That's harsh." I say.

"Yeah, you also can't wait too long. You have about another week after those seven days to do it or same results."

I was taken aback by this craziness. Who the hell made these rules anyways?

"So then don't mark me until after school ends." I resolve for him.

He looks at me and I can read the internal struggle in his eyes. I sense that he doesn't like pushing me but is set on his thoughts.

"Jake, I have to finish my junior year. There are only a few more weeks left of school anyway. After that I can make up an excuse to my parents of going on vacation with my friends or something." I bite my lip hoping he accepts. He weighs the idea in his head for a few moments.
