The Professor's Forbidden Mate
Love knows no boundaries, but some lines are never meant to be crossed...
Delilah Hunt never imagined her scholarship to the prestigious Nocturne Academy would lead her to her mate. At eighteen, she’s determined to focus on her studies and escape her modest upbringing. But everything changes when she meets Elias Grey—her enigmatic professor and the man fate has destined to be her mate.
Elias is everything Delilah shouldn’t want: older, impossibly wealthy, and bound by the expectations of his family.
As the heir to the powerful Grey legacy and the son of Nocturne’s intimidating dean, Elias knows the risks of pursuing Delilah. Yet the pull of the bond is irresistible.
Stolen glances and secret conversations soon turn into clandestine meetings; however, their secret love is threatened when Elias faces mounting pressure from his father to marry Claudia Castille, a match that would secure his family’s influence but shatter his heart.
Caught between duty, desire, and destiny, Delilah and Elias must decide how far they’re willing to go to protect their love. But in a world where everyone claims they shouldn’t be together; will their bond hold or will one be forced to reject the other?
"Forbidden? Maybe. But if fate brought me to you, who are we to defy it?"

Chapter: New Student OrientationEliasI sat on the stage with our most tenured professors and administrators as the new batch of incoming students began filing into the auditorium. I watched them carefully, taking note of how they carried themselves, their temperament, and who they conversed with.Augustus leaned over and whispered in my ear, “Are you looking for your little mate?” he asked teasingly.“Shut the fuck up,” I growled lowly, hoping our cohorts didn’t overhear him.“You’re drawing attention to us,” he said accusingly as if he weren’t the one who started it.Augustus had been my friend since our first shift, and he’d been nothing but a pain in the ass ever since. He was the worst kind of troublemaker and could charm himself out of any situation. He was quick-witted, intelligent, and vengeful when you pissed him off, but he was also fiercely loyal and insightful. He was someone you’d want in your corner when your back was up against the wall.“No, it is you drawing attention,” I replied, keeping my eye out

Chapter: The WarningDelilah“So, what do you think?” Julian asked after pushing open the door of my shared dorm suite. My mouth popped open in shock. I was surprised at how spacious the room was. “Don’t be shy; check it out,” he urged, pushing me gently.The suite was large and pristine, with a tastefully decorated living room and chic furnishings that appeared to cost a fortune.“This is so beautiful,” I whispered as I ran my hand over the back of the couch.“Your roommate took the liberty of decorating.”I left the living room for the kitchen and was amazed at the top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances. I opened the refrigerator and gawked at the abundance of fresh fruits, vegetables, and meats.“W-who is my roommate again?”“Let’s see,” Julian said as he typed away on his phone. “Ms. Sabrina Blackwell is your roommate. Ms. Blackwell’s family is one of the wealthiest families in the country because they own multiple mineral and precious gem mines worldwide. The Blackwells are the largest producers

Chapter: My Barely Legal MateElias“Fuck!”I snatched my computer monitor off my desk, ripping the cords from the wall. I was about to dispose of it properly when my plans were thwarted.“Do NOT throw that monitor out of the window. You could hurt someone!” Augustus exclaimed.I closed my eyes and swallowed roughly before abandoning the monitor. It fell to the floor with a loud clang, and I finally slumped into my office chair.My chest heaved up and down as sweat trickled down my forehead. My mind was scrambled—fighting with my biological urges and common sense and reasoning.My wolf…don’t even get me started. Holding him back was a fucking nightmare. They’d lock us away and throw away the fucking key if they knew the thoughts running through his head. Tracking down, marking, and breeding our barely legal mate were the only thoughts that consumed him.“Relax, Elias. It’s not the end of the world,” Augustus said, trying to soothe me.I gritted my teeth and kicked the paper shredder across the room. It crashed int

Chapter: Nocturne AcademyDelilah“Look, girls. We have another poor one!” the raven-haired bully loudly announced as I approached the new student orientation table outside the gates of Nocturne Academy.I’d barely stepped foot on campus with a warning from my parents to grow a thick skin, and I was already a target of bullying.I stopped at the table and glanced at the heckling girls curiously. They were all so…stunning. They had clear, bright skin, shiny, voluminous hair, straight, white teeth, and facial features fit for high-fashioned magazines, and yet their cruelty made them ugly in my eyes.I took in the details of their prestigious uniforms that vastly differed from mine. They wore a tailored black blazer that was finely pressed. The blazer had red piping around the collar and cuffs with our school’s crest embroidered on the left breast in gold. Underneath the blazer, they wore white blouses with lace trim around the neck and a deep red satin tie with a gold clip. They wore black pleated skirts with ti
