Rivals to Lovers by Patricia Galindez (have you read this book TXT) 📕

see you tonight, my love." He kissed me fully on the lips. He broke the kiss, but I grabbed his neck with my hands, and kissed him deeper. After a minute, we pulled apart.
"I love you," he whispered. My heart exploded when he said those three special words to me. Hearing them just brought tears to my eyes. When one fell out, Indy noticed and wiped it way.
"What is the matter, Nova?"
"No one has ever told me they loved me that way. I'm just overjoyed that it finally happened."
"Then I'll take the pleasure of saying it over and over for you. I love you. I love you. I love

you."
"I love you too, Indy." I captured his lips with mine, kissing him with much need. He fell back on the bed with me on top of him. He then kissed my neck tenderly until he stopped at my shoulder. Pulling down my sleeve to reveal my naked shoulder, he continued to kiss me there. His lips were like magic, leaving trails of fire everywhere his lips go. I gasped as he started to lick my neck in a teasing way. I moaned softly when he nibbled the places he licked.
"Nova...I-I can't hold my wolf in much longer...it wants to claim you," he gasped.
"What do you mean by claim?"
"It wants to leave it's mark, to warn unmated werewolves that you are mine and no one else. I have to bite you."
I kissed him. "Then do it."
"I don't want to hurt you."
"You won't. Go on, bite me."
He leaned towards my neck, and gave it a small delicate kiss. Then he sank his teeth into my flesh. I admit, it really did hurt painfully, but I hold the pain in. When he let go of my neck, he licked the wound. He looked at me, and smiled when his eyes landed on my upper arm.
"Look, Nova. It's your mark," he said pointing at my arm. I looked to see the mark, and what I saw blew my mind. It was a tattoo like black and white wolf just like Indy. I looked back at him, "It's you." He nodded. "It's beautiful," I whispered. "Not as beautiful as you are."
"As much as I want to stay longer with you, I have to get back."
"Alright," I said sadly.
"Hey, we'll see each other tonight. No need to be upset, sweet heart." I nodded. He got off the bed as soon as I got off him. When we got outside, he shifted into his magnificent black and white wolf. I knelled down in front of him, and hugged him close to me. His fur was soft as a cloud, with the scent of rain and nature. I let go, and he gave me one last look with those silver eyes before he ran off.
"Nova! Nova! Where are you?!" shouted a voice.
I looked around to see who was calling me, but saw none. I followed the voice who calls me to a nearby a frozen lake. There I saw my sister calling me. She must of looked for me and saw that I wasn't there.
"Nova!" I ran towards her.
"I'm here Annabelle."
"My God, what are you doing out here? I've been looking for you everywhere. I searched your room, but you weren't there or the whole house. I searched the whole village, but nothing. Are you trying to trying to frighten mother and I?"
"NO! I mean of course I don't. I was just taking a stroll that's all," I explained.
"Then tell us before you go anywhere. You're only fourteen, Nova. You're lucky mother allows you to go out by yourself at all. But, we have to know, we can not lose you like we did with father. It would crush mother. Do you understand?"
I nodded. "Yes. I...I understand, Annabelle. I'm sorry," I said weakly.
She sighed. "Please, be careful and warn us next time." I nodded. "Come on, we should get back."
I don't know how much longer I can hide my secret meetings when Annabelle is getting hot on my trail. Would I one day tell her and he could be okay with it just like Indy's brother? But, I don't know if she can be as understanding with this situation I'm in. What could I do? I just need a sign.
