Chapter 140 – Detention–1
–LIA’S POV–
19 min left
We sat playing tic–tac–toe in detention for an hour after school, thanks to our little adventure in the library. Zane lost almost every single time, because apparently, ‘werewolves don’t play childish games‘.
“I will win what’s important, Lia,” he said, tone condescending. “Who cares about paper games?”
I shrugged. “I do. When I’m Luna of your pack, I will make it a point to introduce these to the kids.”
Zane smiled. “Really?”
“Of course.”
“What else will you do when you’re officially Luna?”
I tapped the back of my pencil to my lip. “I will take proposals.”
“Proposals? What kind?”
“The human kind. For marriage.”
“What?” Zane chuckled.
I clicked my tongue. “See—you told me some werewolves kidnap

their human mates and stuff. I will forbid that and as the Luna, go with my wolf to their human mate’s house with a proper proposal. I’ll offer them things they can’t refuse, in return for two simple meetings: One with their wolf mate, like a date, and one with me. In my meeting with the human, I’ll tell them our story, keeping all the gruesome details of course.”
Zane ran a hand down his face. “You’ve really thought this through, haven’t you?”
“Obviously. I mean, what’s the point in having a human Luna if I can’t make things easier for couples like yours and mine?”
“True.” He nodded. “Very true. What else?”
“What else?”
“Any other duties you’ve decided to take upon yourself?”
“I’ll look around.” I nodded. “See what fits me.”
“Sounds good, my love,” he smiled.
I grinned, proud that he liked my idea.
Then a thought struck me. “Although, if I turn into a huge, scary monster, I won’t do these things anymore.”
Zane raised a brow. “Why not?”

“Because, then it’s stupid. I want to fight for the pack if I have the power.”
Zane chuckled. “You don’t have to fight no matter what you become, my love.”
“But I want to.” I frowned. “I want to protect you like you protect me.”
“I don’t need protection, darling.”
“So you’re saying I’m weak?” I narrowed my eyes. “That’s why I need your protection and you won’t need mine?”
“I didn’t say that.” Zane laughed.
“You meant it.” I shrugged, rolling my eyes.
Zane chuckled, grabbing the bottom of my chair and pulling it towards himself. I gasped, butterflies filling my stomach.
“I don’t think you’re weak. It’s me who’s a bit too strong.” He winked.
I scoffed. “You wish. You can’t even beat me at a game of tic–tac–toe.”
“That’s a pure skill issue,” he said, insulting himself.
I laughed. “Oh yeah? Well, beat me at arm wrestling,” I

challenged.
Zane stared at me, waiting to see if I was joking.
“Really?” he said with a poker face.

I pulled up my sleeve slightly, placing my elbow on the table, my face full of determination.
Zane stared at my arm and then at me. “Oh you’re serious.”
“Obviously.”
He shrugged. “Okay.”
He stood up and walked over to the other side of the table, kneeling on the floor. He placed his elbow as well, then held my hand. Tingles shot through my skin, making me smile.
“I’ll count,” I said.
“Okay.” Zane gave a nod.
“In three, two–” I grabbed his face with my free hand, pecking his lips. His mind numbed for a second, and I used it to win the wrestle. “One.” I smirked, victorious.
Zane frowned, staring at me and then our hands.
“Wow,” he said. “Worth it.”

“Silence!” the teacher yelled, cutting the moment short. He’d just woken up a second ago.
“Good morning to you too,” Zane muttered under his breath, standing up and taking his seat again.
I suppressed a laugh.
The teacher glanced at the clock with tired eyes, and right on cue, the bell went off.
All three of us sighed in relief, immediately gathering our things and standing up. Zane took my bag from me and put an arm around me, leading me out of class. But we didn’t go towards the exit. Instead, he turned the other way.
“Where are we going?” I frowned, confused as Zane led me down the hallway.
Zane grinned. “You’ll see.”
I gave him a suspicious stare, but let him guide me. We passed the art rooms, the lockers, and the janitor’s closet. The hallway was mostly silent, except for the echos of our footsteps.
Then we stopped before the doors of the auditorium.

“What’s in there?” I asked. “You’re not about to surprise me with Blake’s dead body or something, right?”
He didn’t answer, snorting as he pushed the door open.
