Kael’s voice broke my chain of thoughts. “I’m glad you’re here.”
In his blue school jersey and shorts, he was looking beautiful. His hair was tousled and sweat ran down his face. “Hi!”
I grinned, a blush ereeping on my cheeks.
He blew a kiss to me. I caught it and brought it to my heart. He stared at me intensely before running away back to the game.
For the next hour, I watched him play, mesmerized by his movements. Every goal he made was met with a loud cheer from Tracy and her team.
At lunch, when I was collecting my things and stashing them in my purse, Tracy came to me.
“I didn’t expect you to come to Vegas after him,”
she remarked sarcastically.
I took a deep sigh. “Henson sent me to teach him math.”
She clenched her jaw. “Kael doesn’t need your tutoring. He is a brilliant boy. So you must have asked him to get you here!”
Surprised, I glared at her. Just a day back, she was begging me to forgive her. “He got a B in his test,”
I explained.
She scoffed. “Oh please! Even if he tries hard, he wouldn’t get a B. He is an Alpha heir. I highly doubt that. So tell me, what’s the secret?”
And doubt crawled in my mind. Did Kael fake his test to get a Bjust to call me here? But how did he convince Henson?
I swung the purse on my shoulder and said, “You may think what you want to Tracy, but that is the truth.”
Saying that, I walked out of the stadium, refusing to get shaken up by her.
In the evening, Kael returned with his team back to the hotel and he came straight to my room. “Why did demanded, his fists balled on his sides, and his eyes holding a storm to be unleashed.

Astrid POV
I stepped aside for Kael to enter my room. As soon as he was in, I closed the door behind me. With controlled anger, he sat on the bed.
“Why did you leave, Astrid?”
he asked, his voice low and menacing. “I couldn’t focus on my game because I always ended up finding you.”
I examined him closely as I walked towards him. There were bruises on his face and several on his arms and legs. “How did you get these bruises?”
I asked, worried.
He took a ragged breath. Without breaking his gaze from me, he said, “That’s not the answer to my question. Why did you leave?”
I licked my lips as I went and sat in front of him, parting his knees. I tipped my head up as he tilted his head down. His chest rose and fell when I touched him. I brought my hands to cup his cheeks. “Convince me how you got a B on your math quiz.”
He stared at me for a while and said, “Do you want to see my solved paper?”
“No, I know you are a brilliant student, but you got a B. So convince me you didn’t do it purposely.”
I stroked his cheek tenderly and he leaned in my hand as if savoring my touch.
“I skipped the steps of the fifth question. The answer was right, but the teacher wanted to see the steps, which I thought were a pain in the neck because I knew the answer. He gave me a B, citing the need for patient step writing.”
He lowered his head and placed a kiss on my forehead, as if unable to control himself. “If you wanted a reason for my B grade, you should have asked. Why did you wait till now? Besides, I won’t deny that if by getting a B, I’ll have you with me constantly, then I will get it again and again.”
I stared at him in disbelief. Tracy was right and wrong. My heart thundered not because of his shameless admission, but because this boy in front of me was going to do anything to stay with me. Even if that meant lowering his grades. “Kael!”
I breathed. “Please don’t do that to yourself.”
He held my shoulders and pulled me up to make me sit in his lap. Wrapping me in his embrace tightly, he let out a sigh of relief and buried his face in the crook of my neck. Inhaling my smell, he said, “I’ll do that for you, Astrid. I do not know why with you my world is calmer. Else…”
he shuddered at the thought of whatever was in his mind.
I curled my arms around his neck as I rested my cheeks on his head. “Kael, you have to go to a college after this. These grades will affect your GPA. I don’t want to be the reason for your downfall.”
“You’ll never be the reason for my downfall,”
he breathed. “Ever. He kissed my neck, and a shiver cruised through my body. “Who gave you the idea that I got a B on purpose?”
“That’s not important,”
I said, thinking that he would be really mad at Tracy this time.
But my intelligent boyfriend caught the gist of my words. “So someone did give you an idea.”
He looked up at me with his dark eyes that challenged me to speak lies.
I pursed my lips and looked away. He pinched my jaw and turnell my face to him. “Tell me, Astrid. Because if I find out, I’ll be seriously mad.”
“Tracy,”
whispered. “She said that even if you would try hard, you wouldn’t get a B.”
He narrowed his eyes. “She doesn’t know me well. How could you believe her?”
“She’s been your friend for a long time.”

“She was my friend,”
he said, emphasizing on the word, was. “So you better not listen to her, okay?”
I let out a soft laughter before I hugged him tightly. The anger in my chest was replaced with warmth and love. Kael also hugged me like he was clinging to life support. I really didn’t know what had gotten into him so fast. He grew obsessed and possessive of me. Honestly, I loved it.
“I think you should take a bath in your room,”
I said, removing myself. “I have a plan ready for you. Come over after dinner. Until then, I’ll be taking notes from Briana about our classes.”
“Why can’t I take a bath here?”
“Mr. Kael Hanks, get out!”
I said, getting out of his lap and standing up. I pulled him to his feet and pushed him out of my room. “See you after dinner.”
He made a long sappy face as I closed the door in his face, giggling at him. Gosh, those puppy eyes. I could swoon over them forever. As soon as he left, I went to the bathroom, splashed water on my face to feel fresh, changed my clothes and went to my table. In the next fifteen minutes, I studied my schedule and arranged the books on my table to ask Briana about updates.
Instead of passing me the notes, Briana was more interested in hearing about me and Kael. “Tell me everything!”
she grinned as she took the notebooks out of her bag. “Don’t leave a single detail, else I am gonna hunt you and choke you and shake you hard until you spill it!”
I shook my head as I laughed. “There’s nothing. All I did was to go to the field and watch him play. So now, if you don’t mind, please share the notes.”
She narrowed her eyes at me through the video chat. “Girl, I know you’re hiding. Your face is flushed and-“
she peeped behind me. “Who is there on your bed?”
I raised my eyebrow. “Stop fooling me and get on with the notes
“Hey, no!”
she said, her face turning serious. “Behind you, I can see someone’s legs dangling in the air.”
Shocked, I snapped my head behind. “You?”
I said, totally befuddled. “How did you come in?”
I squeaked.
Kael was lying on my bed on his stomach and watching me with a silly smile. “Through the stairs of the fire exit,”
he said, hooking his thumb behind his shoulder.
