Chapter 139 – Library–2
–LIA’S POV–
“I don’t want problems,” I muttered. “I want a bit of school
stress.”
“Why on earth would you want that?”
‘Because… it feels normal.”

Zane took my chin, and leaned in, pressing his lips against mine. I closed my eyes and kissed him back, melting on the inside, my heart turning into mush.
He pulled away to stare at me. “What about this? How does this feel?”
I smiled. “Abnormal.”
Zane chuckled. “You remember how shitty normal was?”
“You mean when your Hounds had the guts to threaten and annoy me?”
He smirked, a proud glint in his eye. “I love how you worded that.”
I laughed. “Why?”

“You know they’re afraid of you now,” he said, amused.
I shrugged. “I mean, I am their future Luna, aren’t I?”
His gaze softened. “You are. Theirs, and mine.”

I leaned forward and rested my head on his chest. “You know, I thought I’d only ever study in the school library. I used to judge the people who came here to kiss and hook up.”
Zane snorted. “And now?”
“Now I’m the one doing it,” I mused.
“Really?” Zane asked, gently pushing me back to meet my eye. “Are we about to hook up, my little Lia?”
My eyes widened. “No… I just—I meant others.”
“You just said you’re the one doing it now.”
“What I meant–” I began, but he cut me off by crashing his lips against mine.
Without a second warning, Zane scooped me up into his arms and moved to the darker, secluded corners of the library. My heart thumped in my chest as I was pushed against a shelf of history books, toppling a couple onto the ground.
He pulled away, allowing me to catch a gulp of air.

“Zane–”

“Shh.” He pressed a finger to my lips. “Silence in the library, please.”
My face heated up as I blinked up at him, wide eyed.
Zane leaned in, his blue eyes looking grey in the darkness. “You‘ have always thought about doing it in here, haven’t you?” he whispered.
I lowered my gaze, feeling caught.
Zane tipped my chin up with his finger. “Don’t look away, love. Answer my ques–”
I put my hand over his mouth, swallowing hard. “Shh,” I whispered. “Silence in the library, please.”
Zane’s eye glinted with mischief as he lowered my hand from his mouth. ‘As you say, ma’am,‘ he mouthed, before pressing his lips to mine again.
Butterflies fluttered in my stomach, my heart flipping. His arms snaked around my waist and he lifted me up, gently slamming me against the bookshelf. I yelped, and he took the opportunity to slip his tongue into my mouth, deepening the kiss. My hands found his hair, tugging lightly, while his hold tightened around me. Zane broke the kiss to move downwards, towards my neck,

and my heart began to knock at my ribs.

“Lia Snow!” a high pitched voice rang, making us both freeze.
I squeezed my eyes shut, while Zane slowly lowered me to my feet, before turning to look at the one who interrupted us.
“And Zane Adams?” the librarian said in disbelief. “I had heard rumours swimming around about the two of you, but I didn’t believe it. Weren’t you two mortal enemies?”
Zane chuckled, as if he hadn’t just been caught making out.
“Not at all, ma’am. It was more like love at millionth sight.”
I sucked my lower lip into my mouth. It still tasted like him.
“Well, whatever it is, I never expected this from you, Snow.” The disappointment in her tone made me want to hide in a hole.
“Really?” Zane frowned. “She’s always wanted to do this.”
“No!” I shouted instantly, eyes shooting open.
Zane laughed, not a flicker of shame on his face.
“Lia,” the librarian flinched. “Silence in the library, please.”
A cry left my lips, and Zane snorted, before a fit of laughter took over him.

My cheeks flamed with shame, and I buried my face in my hands.

“Anyway, out. Both of you. Go straight to the office and confess to your… misbehaviour, at once.” She stepped further away from us, gesturing towards the exit. “Off you go.”
Zane backed away from me, and I pushed off the shelf, my head hanging low in shame.
“This normal enough for you?” Zane whispered in my ear.
“This is anything but!” I whisper–yelled at him.
“Wait,” the librarian called before reached the door. “Restack these books first.”
I groaned. “Now, that’s what’s normal.”
Zane chuckled. “Mission successful, then.”
A smile took over my lips, and I shook my head at him, before we returned to the shelf and got to work.
I couldn’t believe how I managed to score someone like him. Destiny or not.
