When they left the storage room, Nolan and Mia had already missed about fifteen minutes of their first class after the break.
Nolan knocked on the door and entered. Although the teacher looked at him angrily, he didn't dare complain. He and the entire class looked surprised to see Nolan holding hands with Mia.
Mia felt a wave of shame and despair through the bond that was now stronger than ever. Nolan squeezed her hand, pulling her closer, hiding her with his body, which quickly calmed her down.
“Um... are you two together now?” asked Raquel, one of Diana's best friends, with disdain.
Mia tensed, and Nolan said loudly:
“Everyone is aware that Mia is my predestined mate, and yes, we have decided to accept and confirm our bond.” He looked at Raquel and continued: “So don't forget that Mia is the future Luna of this pack, and I expect you to treat her as such.”
“If she deserves it,” Raquel muttered. Nolan was about to respond when Mia stepped out from behind him and said:
“I'll go.”
