Her Miracle Mate novel Chapter 9

There were two students other than Sven and the red-headed girl.

The girl came closer to Starke and touched his cheek. Starke shuddered at her touch. They were mates. I probably felt the happiest for him.

Just admit it. You didn't like the way he looked at you, Rayne.

I just smiled and ignored the stupid thoughts in my head.

He slowly wrapped his arms around her, as if testing unknown waters, then touched his forehead with hers and smiled when she did too, breathing out softly in relief.

The boys around started howling and clapping, congratulating the new pair as I joined them.

At least someone found their soulmate.

It was later during lunchtime when Sven properly introduced to us his fellow 'transfer-students'. The redhead girl who now sat with Starke and was giggling and whispering to him nonstop, was Kelyla. The other two boys reminded me of Fred and George from Harry Potter.

They did put a ton of salt in Starke's chocolate milkshake so...

Uriah and Alessio were built like Sven and sported tattoos with similar designs on their neck and arms. They seemed pretty cool but I still had no clue as to why they're all here.

I knew it has something to do with Sven. With his warning. Or with something else I don't even know about yet.

I really need to talk to him.

I turned in front of me to face Sven.

As if hearing my thoughts, Sven looked at me from across the table and gave me a hard look.

I immediately looked down at my lunch tray to avoid his knowing gaze.

The food here is much better than the stereotypical cafeteria food. On today's menu was a grilled chicken sandwich with fries and a brownie.

It looked really good but I couldn't bring myself to eat anything yet with so many questions running in my head.

"Are you gonna stare at it for eternity, or are you going to eat that?" Sven asked, clearly amused.

I immediately took a huge bite out of my sandwich and stuffed fries into my already almost full mouth.

He won't be stealing my food again.

"Yes. Very lady-like, Rayne," he said chuckling.

We were then joined by Hayes, Carson and Wyatt. Hayes had probably filled them in about the new students because they greeted each other pretty well and there weren't any introductions either.

"What took you guys so long?" Starke asked his packmates.

Wyatt laughed and said, "Not everyone has a remarkable tolerance for the Liet at their university. We were just, 'handling the situation'."

My eyes went wide at his words.
