"I can give you what you want, professor," I said, my gaze trained on him. He moved closer to me until my back hit the wall. Then his gaze dropped to my lips, his golden eyes taking on a crimson hue. "And what's that, Miss Nightbourne?" He said, his voice dropping to a heart-racing whisper, sending shivers down my spine. "Me." ... Drugged and forced into a premature heat, Clarissa ends up in bed with Jaxon, her fiance's uncle. And eventually, she discovers that she's pregnant. Betrayed, branded a traitor, exiled, broken, and alone, she soon discovers a dangerous secret-her bloodline is more than just powerful. She is the last heir of the Lunar Throne. To uncover her potential, she must attend the Werewolf Academy. At the Academy, she must fight for her birthright while facing ruthless enemies, dark prophecies, and the forbidden pull of her mate-now her professor. Will she be able to find the justice she so desperately seeks?
view moreJAXON I shouldn't have done it.In my desperation to silence her, I'd panicked. And in that split second, I'd let my control slip."What the hell was that?" she snapped, her voice sharp with disbelief.I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. Damn it. I should've had a better excuse ready. Something logical. Something that wouldn't make me look like the reckless, selfish bastard I felt like.Her lips had been softer than I expected, her breath warm and unsteady against mine. But the second I'd pulled away, reality had crashed down on me like a cold bucket of ice water.Against my better judgement, my desire had clouded my senses. Even now, I could still feel the ghost of her lips on mine.This wasn't right.Although she was my mate, she was still my student, and we were still within the walls of the academy."Really? You're just going to toy with me like that?" she demanded, stepping back as though I physically repulsed her."You were yelling." The words spilled from my lips b
CLARISSA "She can't be here... not safe... for her baby..." Muffled sounds reached my ears as I slowly regained consciousness. I forced my eyes open, blinking against the glow of the medical bay's overhead lights. The scent of antiseptic lingered in the air, a sharp contrast to the smell of cigarettes that had assaulted my nostrils earlier. I was lying on a bed with a white blanket draped over my body, and there was a dull ache in my bones.Through the haze in my vision, I could see someone standing by my bedside with his back to me. He was speaking to a middle-aged woman who was wearing a medical coat.His companion walked away and left the room. Without glancing my way, he started to leave. But then, I reached out to grab the sleeve of his pale yellow shirt. His head whipped around, his eyes widening when they met mine."You're awake. That's a relief," he spoke softly, lowering himself onto the chair by the bedside."Thank you for...earlier," I croaked.He heaved a sigh,
A While Ago,CLARISSA "Hello there, Stray!" The mocking voice cut through the air, pulling me out of my thoughts. I froze, my grip tightening on my backpack.A few feet away stood a group of students dressed in expensive-looking designer clothes. From where I stood, I could tell that they were nothing but trouble. They reeked of arrogance and entitlement. It was too early to get into trouble, especially since it was still the first day of school. I was already upset because of my mate's rejection.Could my day get any worse?Clenching my fists, I kept my head down and veered in the opposite direction. Maybe if I ignored them, they'd leave me alone.In the blink of an eye, they were standing in front of me. They sneered at me, eyeing me from top to bottom like I was nothing but vermin."Running already? That's not nice. We just wanted to get to know you," one of the guys said, a mischievous smirk tugging at his lips."Look, I don't know you, and I certainly don't want to. I
JAXON Her offer was tempting. Too tempting. I didn't want to turn her down, especially since I could see beyond her mask of confidence. She was desperate. It could've been easy to say yes to her, but I couldn't bring myself to. Not when my fate was bound to my curse. Not when choosing her meant dragging her into the darkness that chained me."You're going to be late to class," I said with an impassive voice.Her expression faltered, hurt flashing in her purple eyes."Is this you rejecting me...and your child?" She demanded, angry tears filling her eyes.I could've made it clear to her without hurting her feelings, but I was afraid she wouldn't give up.Turning away from her, I moved towards my seat and sank into it, a heavy weight pressing down on my chest."You refused to listen when I warned you not to involve yourself with the Academy," I deadpanned. "Whatever happens from this moment on... it's on you."She let out a bitter chuckle, her fingers trembling as she wiped away a
CLARISSA Probing stares lingered on me as I stepped into the spacious school grounds, clutching at the straps of my backpack. I could hear them whispering to themselves, probably gossiping about how shabby I looked and how someone like me had sneaked into the Academy.That's right.I'd somehow made it to the Werewolf Academy after my bargain with my mate.He'd tried to talk me off my decision, but this was a matter of life and death.Lifting a hand, I knocked on the door of the registration office. A high-pitched voice responded, urging me to step in.When I strode in, I was greeted by the sight of a plus-sized red-haired woman. She wore thick-framed glasses and a red dress. On her table was a polished nameplate with the name 'Lauren Philips.'She eyed me from top to bottom with a look of barely concealed irritation."Are you lost?" She asked, her voice laced with impatience."I'm here for registration," I replied, and she frowned."Where's your invitation?" She asked.I froze.
JAXONA few hours before,"Jax?!"Dante's voice cut through the fog in my head, laced with concern. His footsteps were urgent as he stepped into my office, glancing around. He couldn't see me—not at first.I was slipping. Again.My vision flickered between reality and the void, the cursed abyss where my wolf had been torn from me. The air felt thin, like I was being pulled under water. I gritted my teeth, forcing myself to hold on."Jax, come on, don't scare me."His voice wavered as he stopped in front of my desk, scanning the room."I'm here," I croaked, anchoring myself back into reality.Dante released a sigh of relief when he finally saw me."Are you okay?" He asked, and I grunted, pinching the bridge of my nose."For how long were you slipping this time?" He said as he poured me a glass of water and handed it over to me."Maybe thirty minutes?" I croaked, bringing the rim of the glass to my lips."It's getting worse. The old woman was right," he muttered.I didn't respond. What
CLARISSA "Clarissa, you're pregnant," the healer announced.I felt the world tilt.Pregnant.The word felt foreign, unreal. Yet, deep down, hadn't I already known? The nausea, the exhaustion, the way my body felt different... I'd ignored the signs, unwilling to face what they meant.Six weeks had passed since I last saw my mate. The man who claimed me and then vanished into the night. It's been six weeks since the guards captured me and threw me back into this miserable cell.And now this?"She's pregnant?" Kieran asked, his voice laced with disbelief.The healer nodded, and he stormed towards me, his palm colliding with my cheek."You whore!" He yelled, and I glared at him."That's enough, Kieran," Alpha Garrick hissed, redirecting his gaze on me."Who is the father of your child?"I bit my lower lip, unsure of what to say. I barely knew who my mate was. All I knew was that he had the brightest golden eyes I'd ever seen."Are you going to stay silent?" Kieran demanded, and I
CLARISSA I was thirteen years old when my father was assassinated. His beta took over his position, and my life took a terrible turn. Although my father's beta had promised to investigate his death and bring them to justice, nothing had been done. Kieran, the new Alpha's son, had comforted me during those times, and I'd been fooled into believing that he truly cared about me. And now, it was up to my new mate to save me or toss me to the wolves."Help me," I said to him, and he fixed his gaze on me for a moment before glancing at the street ahead. Silently, he took off his velvet jacket and placed it around my shoulders."You're better off not associating yourself with me," he said, placing a small dagger in my hand."Go left. There's a river close by. If you can make it past the river, they won't get to you," he said, and I swallowed hard, unsure of what this meant for me.Was he rejecting me as well? I wondered.However, there was no time to dwell on this; I took his advic
CLARISSA 'Mate!' Snow, my wolf, echoed in my head as a sweet scent flooded my nostrils. Tears of gratitude welled up in my eyes, and my heart started to pound a lot faster as I quickened my pace and followed the smell of my mate. It had to be Kieran. I was his chosen mate, and tonight, our mating ceremony was about to take place. My excitement went up a notch, and I broke into a sprint, hiking up my ceremonial red dress. All of a sudden, pain slammed into me so hard, I doubled over. With my eyes watering, I dropped to my knees. Whimpers escaped my lips as the pain continued to build, searing through me like a red-hot knife.I was confused and disoriented. I couldn't understand what was happening to me. I parted my lips to call out for my fiancé, but in an instant, I heard the sounds of his moans in my head.'Fuck, MIA. You feel so good,' I heard him say and my confusion swelled within me.Mia?My bully?That couldn’t be right. My mind had to be playing tricks on me. Maybe I mi
