Bound by a Dangerous Fate to my Student: The Prophecy
"You are my mate, Sarah," he confessed, his voice trembling with pain.
"I knew it before I even spoke to you that night at the club. I lied when I said it was a joke because I was hiding who I really am, and because I’ve always believed having a mate is a weakness..." His voice dropped to a whisper, his gaze locked on mine.
"Until now."
I should feel excited to eventually meet my mate, but confusion clouded my mind.
******
Sarah’s life is already in shambles. At 26, she’s a teacher struggling to survive as an ostracised witch.

The last thing she needs in her life is Anderson, a cocky and arrogant 18-year-old student.
But what begins as forbidden attraction turns dangerous when lust gives way to something deeper, while her life becomes entangled in a series of murders and disappearances that all lead back to her.

Chapter: Chapter TwentyAnderson's POV I stood outside Sarah’s apartment complex, gripping the two bags of groceries in one hand. Most of the items inside matched what she had dropped last night when that panther shifter attacked her—different brands, of course. I did not want her to get suspicious.If you’re wondering, yes—I was the lycan who saved her last night and killed the panther shifter before he could finish what he started. If I had let him live, he would have returned to finish what he started once he had healed because I sense the bloodlust in him, driven by a personal vendetta that coursed through his veins to avenge his useless son's death. That was why I had to step out of the shadows last night.I had been following her ever since she left her ex-fiancé’s house that night. I was actually surprised when she revealed to the panther shifter that she knew he had been secretly following her. Only if she knew it was me. Well, she wouldn't, because I had make sure to be extra careful henceforth.

Chapter: Chapter NineteenSARAH'S POVCall me heartless, but I didn’t care—I was relieved to hear the panther shifter’s body had been found far from my street the next morning. I had gone for a walk early that day to confirm if the lycan had killed him and if it did, if the body would turn up closer to my apartment. While wandering the streets, I overheard two people murmuring about a dead body discovered nearby. When I finally reached the scene, the panther shifter’s body was sprawled on the asphalt in a corner. Deep claw marks ripped through his chest as if a feral beast ravaged him. Well, lycans were feral beasts. Clearly, those who believed lycans had gone extinct were wrong since the poor old man—the panther shifter—recognised it.I was convinced a person like him who I expected to have more knowledge on the supernatural world and existences would not be mistaken.Even though I felt a flicker of pity for him, relief outweighed it. At least I was not going to be dragged into something I had nothing t

Chapter: Chapter EighteenSARAH'S POVMy heart hammered wildly, and I froze in place, unable to tear my eyes away from Anderson’s piercing gaze. His smirk deepened, a predator’s grin that sent shivers crawling up my spine.“Why is your heart beating so fast, Sarah?” he drawled."I can hear it... loud and clear.”He snapped his fingers rhythmically, matching his words. "Thump, thump, thump.""It's almost like you've been running from a predator." He added with a sly grin.My shoulders sank, confirming my worst fear.Panic surged through me, tightening its grip as I fought to steady my breathing. From what I knew about Lycans, they could not just hear your heartbeat; they could feel it! That thought alone made it even harder to calm down.“Why?” The word came out in a shaky whisper, barely audible over the pounding of my heart.I hated how powerless I felt, but there was nothing I could do about it."Why are you always after me? What did I ever do to you?" I asked, my voice trembling despite my best effort to so

Chapter: Chapter SeventeenSarah's POVTurning the knob, I swung the door open, but to my shock, no one was there.My heart raced, panic hitting me hard for a split second, until I caught a shadow from the corner of my eye.My heart nearly jumped out of my chest as I let out a startled scream. "Oh God!"But just as quickly as the fear set in, it fizzled out, replaced by irritation when I realised who it was. Anderson! He was leaning against the wall like he owned the place, hands stuffed in his pockets, that stupid smirk plastered across his face."Anderson?" I whispered in disbelief, my eyes widened."Hi, Miss Cole," he smirked."Were you the one who have been knocking?" I demanded, my voice sharp and accusatory.He smirked like he knew secrets about me. "Yeah. Took you long enough."Relief flooded through me instantly, concluding that I was not the lycan’s target like I had been dreading."Were you hoping I’d get tired and leave?” He added."Did cat get your tongue before now that didn't make you reply when I

Chapter: Chapter SixteenSARAH'S POVMy hands were shaking as I fumbled with the lock, my heart pounding wildly in my chest. I did not even know if I was breathing right. Once I slammed the door shut behind me, I bolted it fast, as if that would keep whatever nightmare I had just escaped from. My breath was ragged, almost choking me as I stumbled toward the small window, throwing it closed and tugging the curtains shut. I gasped for air as I collapsed onto my bed, burying my face in the sheets."What the hell just happened?" I muttered. I sat up, my hands running through my tangled hair, trying to get a grip. My mind was a mess. The thought of being connected to another murder—hell, if they thought I was involved again—made me sick.However, I could not quite figure out if I was just a witness to the murder or if I was the actual target. The way the lycan locked eyes with me before attacking the panther shifter had me second-guessing everything. My body tensed as I recalled that instant. "Was it really a

Chapter: Chapter FifteenSARAH'S POVThe faint sound of footsteps trailed behind me, just out of sync with my own, tapping against the pavement as I walked home with grocery bags in my hands. My skin prickled as though invisible eyes were burrowing into my back, watching and following me again.It started days ago, right after I left Joshua’s house for the last time. I had told myself it was just paranoia, but tonight was different.“Who the hell is this creep?” I muttered, my voice barely louder than the rustle of the wind.Then, I stopped abruptly and glanced over my shoulder.Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a flicker of movement under the streetlamp before it retreated into the darkness. That and the footsteps were enough to erode my doubt.I smirked, tilting my head. Whoever it was, I will find out tonight."Alright, let’s see who you are,” I muttered under my breath. I resumed walking with feigned nonchalance.Every few steps, I threw a glance over my shoulder, trying to catch the figure slipping

Chapter: Chapter Seventy-oneMirabella's povFor days, I hadn’t given much thought to my conversation with Lucy and Caesar. I had been too caught up with Jayden—spending time together, going on dates, and having sex. But one evening, after dinner, he took me to what everyone believed to be his study room.At first, I thought he was taking me on another date when he mentioned earlier that he had a surprise for me until we stopped in front of the door.At first, I was not sure what I was looking at as the warm glow of a chandelier hanging from the ceiling slowly illuminated the space before me, revealing a breathtaking sight. Floor-to-ceiling shelves lined the walls, packed with books. A large wooden desk sat near the centre, between two chairs. But what truly caught my breath were the artworks. Framed paintings and sketches hung meticulously on the walls. Scattered around the room were more canvases, some stacked against the shelves, some propped up on easels as if abandoned. A scent of aged paper and faint t

Chapter: Chapter SeventyMirabella's povI woke up to the soft golden glow of sunlight spilling through the blinds, warming and painting stripes of warmth across my skin.My body instinctively craved a stretch to shake off the remnants of sleep, but just as I began to move, a voice cut through the stillness. “Stop.” It was sharp, yet calm, and it made me freeze mid-motion. Slowly, I turned my head toward the voice, my gaze landing on Jayden.There he was, perched on a stool by the window, a streak of sunlight catching in the messy strands of his hair. A faint smile curved his lips, but his eyes were sharp, focused on the canvas before him. In one hand, he held a brush, dappled with shades of vibrant color, and his other rested lightly on the edge of the easel. The brush danced effortlessly over the canvas, his wrist flicking with confident precision.“Don’t. Move,” he repeated, softer this time, his smile widening ever so slightly.“What the hell are you doing?” I asked, my voice groggy with sleep. H

Chapter: Chapter Sixty-nineAuthor's pov"So, you're saying he asked you what she likes?" Caesar smirked, the neon lights of the Aphrodite Club’s VIP section casting a glow on his face as he spoke to Noah, Mirabella's father.Helen had tipped Caesar off that Jayden had asked her for Noah’s contact info and address a few days ago.Curious about why Jayden was interested in meeting Noah, Caesar called him over to figure it out.When Noah confirmed the details, Caesar’s grin widened. "This is getting interesting," he mused, clearly entertained.After giving Noah a stack of cash and telling him to report back the next time Jayden reached out, Caesar dismissed him.Caesar could not stop smiling all through as he watched Noah leave. "This is it right? Since we've confirmed that asshole's weakness, it's time we strike." Levine snarled, a smirk playing on his lips.Helen, who had been sitting beside Caesar cut in, scoffing. "Has he really fallen for her? Even if he has, which I still can’t believe, her of all people?"

Chapter: Chapter Sixty-eightMirabella's povThere was nothing more I had prayed for than to find a home—an actual home where love did not feel like a transaction or a weapon. Now, I had it. Jayden, our adopted son Lucas, and Eunice had become my everything. For the first time in my chaotic life, I felt like I belonged somewhere.The room buzzed with warmth as I sat in Lucy and Caesar’s luxurious living room, gushing about my life with Jayden. I spoke with a wide grin, my hands animated as I described Jayden's hilarious antics and his sudden obsession with baking cookies for me. But something was off. Her silence had been gnawing at me for minutes. She usually had this infectious energy that lit up every conversation, but now, she sat stiffly, her hands clutching the hem of her dress like it was the only thing holding her together. Her face was swollen, bruised, and far too quiet. My words faltered mid-sentence, the grin melting from my face. “Lucy, what happened to your face?” I asked.Her eyes darted away

Chapter: Chapter Sixty-sevenMirabella's povI left the hospital with Jayden and the boy, Lucas, whom he had adopted. To my surprise, Jayden was not just changing towards me—he seemed different overall, especially with how friendly he had been to Lucas since we left the hospital. The man who once seemed cold and distant now wanted to take a little boy on a tour around the house. “Are you sure the kid isn’t your long-lost son?” I raised an eyebrow and smirked.It was so unlike him that I could not resist teasing him about it. His face scrunched in confusion. “I don’t know what you are talking about.” “Have you forgotten how you used to barely tolerate me?” I shot back, crossing my arms. "And now here you are, ready to give Lucas the grand tour.” He let out a scoff, shaking his head in disbelief. “Don’t tell me you are jealous.” “Me? Jealous?” I shrugged nonchalantly, though my smirk gave me away. "Please. I’m just stating the obvious.” That was all it took to flip the switch. His gaze darkened as he bega

Chapter: Chapter Sixty-sixMirabella's povJayden's voice dropped low. "You probably should have figured it out by now that you were operated on while you were at the club, like so many others in your position."He paused, his eyes fixed on the floor."A tracking chip was implanted in your arm to monitor your movements in case you tried to escape. It’s still there, and it’s how I’ve been able to keep track of you.”The fact that he was finally telling me now... stripping himself bare just like he had been doing of late was the final confirmation I needed that he's now changed and loved me dearly like he had been claiming.Slowly, he raised his gaze, his eyes meeting mine for the first time since he started speaking."You didn’t know, did you?" His voice barely above a whisper.He hesitated, then stepped closer, just two small steps, as if unsure of how close he could get. "I’m sorry for keeping this from you until now," he said, his voice cracking with emotion."I—""It’s okay," I said, cutting him off gently
