"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?

"Unfortunately, your kindness has led you into my trap," he drawled, and I clenched my fists, rage simmering inside of me. Half an hour ago, I'd received a message from an unknown number, telling me that my friends were in danger. I'd been overcome with worry, so much that I'd dived right into danger without reaching out to my allies. Jaxon would definitely be pissed off if he knew what I'd just done.I heaved a sigh, already feeling a headache coming on. "What do you want, Stefan?""How are you still standing? You should've been sedated by now," he said, his voice laced with disbelief."It's shocking how you've learnt nothing, even after everything that happened between the two of us. Are you really that hungry for your own death?" I droned.He shrugged, his gaze roaming over my features with an unreadable expression on his face. "Marry—"I cut him off instantly
JAXON Clarissa held me in her arms as I shivered under the blankets, my teeth chattering. I'd just stepped out of a freezing shower, hoping the shock would numb the fever clawing through me—but it hadn't. If anything, it had made things worse.My breathing came in short, strained gasps, my eyes squeezed close. Yet, even in my agony, Clarissa's sweet scent kept me grounded and prevented me from slipping. She didn't know this, but I'd been at the verge of entering the void. But the moment she'd rushed into my office, her presence had held me back. And now, the whiplash was beating down on me with an intensity I'd never experienced before. It felt as though I was dying."Stay with me, Jaxon," Clarissa whispered, running her hand over my bicep. She pressed a lingering kiss to my burning forehead.After a while, I stopped shivering. I was drenched in sweat now. And at the same time, I was as weak as a newborn kitten...which was a first for me.My mate gently lowered the blanket and p
CLARISSA My mind was reeling, my thoughts overwhelming. I couldn't wrap my head around everything I'd just heard."Surprisingly, the three players your friend mentioned are somehow connected to the academy," Zoey said, and I swallowed hard. I turned to look at Jaxon, who was watching me with a worried look on his face."What about Professor Storm? You mentioned something about looking into her personal information," I told him."About that..." his expression faltered.A few minutes later, we were standing inside his basement. A basement I didn't know he had. The stone walls were cold and unnerving. The space itself sent unwelcome shivers through me.It struck me then how much I still didn't know about my mate.And yet... I wasn't afraid of him.Not truly.There was darkness here, yes, but not the kind that made me want to run. His darkness didn't threaten me—it shielded me. I didn't need to know all the pieces of him to understand one truth: he would go to terrifying lengths
CLARISSA I was all alone in my bed when I awoke. The sheets smelled faintly of my mate, a scent I couldn't quite get enough of. I stretched, pushing myself out of bed, and made my way toward his closet, my fingers brushing against the smooth fabric of his shirts. I pulled out one of his white ones, the material soft and comforting against my skin.A smile tugged at my lips at the memory of the way my mate had touched me the previous night. The mere thought of it had me growing wet. So I headed to my room and made a beeline for the bathroom. I'd just finished brushing my teeth when I looked up to examine myself in the mirror.My cheeks were rosy, and my purple eyes were full of life and vigour. Slowly, I took off my nightdress.I brought a hand to my belly, my smile widening when I recalled the way Jaxon had tentatively pressed a kiss to my baby bump.My boobs were a little fuller than usual. A sigh escaped my lips as I closed my eyes, I could almost feel the sensation of Jaxon
JAXON I stepped out of my bathroom, steam clinging to my skin. The twins had left earlier after the discovery of General Vael's involvement in Clarissa's father's death. Apparently, he was only just a representative. A representative of the Alpha King himself. This meant that even the royal family was involved in this feud. General Vaal was one of my father's close acquaintances. He was also the one who'd advised my father to exile me. Bastard.Shutting the glass door behind me, I looked up only to see a silhouette in the dark. Clarissa. She was sitting on my bed. It was raining heavily outside. Therefore, my window was only slightly open. Plus, the room was blanketed in darkness."Clarissa?" I called out, surprised. She gave me a soft smile, rising to her feet. "I almost got lost trying to locate your room," she said to me, and I smirked.What was so important to her that made her want to come to my bedroom? Did she have any idea of the implication of what she'd just done?My
DANTESeveral Years Ago, "Kill them! Kill them!" The chants grew louder around my twin brother and me, fear gripping us in its clutches. Was this really the end? We were only eighteen. We were yet to experience a lot.Dorian clutched at my wrists, his breathing shallow and uneven. Blood trickled from the corner of his lips, and even though he couldn't speak, his eyes told me everything.Let me go. Leave me behind.He was offering himself up so that I could live.But how could I?"That demon brought a curse into our pack! He killed his mother and father! We can't kill one twin and spare the other. They both have to die!" The town elder said, brandishing a flame torch at us.Tears crawled down my cheeks as I held my brother to myself. He was too weak to move."Die! Cursed ones! Die!"My arms tightened around Dorian, shielding him with my body as rocks began to fly at us. Pain exploded across my temple—once, then again—and blood oozed down the side of my face. Still, I didn't mo
CLARISSA "Hey," Jaxon's voice was soft and laced with genuine concern.I felt the bed dip beside me, then the weight of his hand resting lightly on my shoulder through the fabric of the jacket he'd draped over me.I forced out a smile, running my fingers along the length of the white wolf pup figurine which Tara had given to me. The memory of that night was still fresh in my mind, and so was the grief and simmering rage.I don't quite remember what happened after Tara's death. But, according to the others, I'd turned into a killing machine. Sometimes, I could still smell the blood and hear the sick crunch of bones I'd shattered without mercy.They'd barely managed to save one of the lives of the mercenaries just to get information from him.The academy had been on lockdown for the past week. I wasn't sure if they were grieving the loss of the lives that had been lost or just scrambling to bury the scandal.Now, I was back in Professor Hale's home because I had nowhere else to go
CLARISSA "The window's open," Gwen suddenly said, and I turned to look at her, understanding what she meant instantly."Let's go!" I whispered, grabbing Nina's hand. We hurried towards the window and quietly crept out of our dorms. Together, we ran through the distance from the dorm to the main schoolyard. The noises had grown louder and more violent. The mere sound of it sent shivers down my spine."We should go to the sculpture room. It has double doors," Nina said breathlessly."Not so fast." We spun around to see a group of students with clubs and knives."Run!" Gwen yelled, and they went after us as we took off into a sprint.While we were running, we nearly bumped into another group.A fight broke out."Behind the statue!" Gwen shouted.But before we could change direction, fists flew at us and weapons were swung at us.Nina swung a heavy stick she found, catching one of the students in the ribs. "Back off, freak!"Just when we thought we were outnumbered, three girls ca
CLARISSA Was he trying to kiss me? My stomach tightened into knots as he drew closer, leaning towards me. I knew he had feelings for me, but attempting to kiss me like this just wasn't right. Jaxon's weary eyes flashed in my mind, thickening my resolve. Before Callum's lips could touch mine, I jerked away from him, rising to my feet. He stayed still for a few seconds, his shoulders slumped."I'm sorry," I said, and he looked up at me with an empty look in his eyes. For a moment, I caught a glimpse of his true self. The one Jaxon had warned me about....Flashback..."You'll let me know when you're feeling better, won't you?" I said to Jaxon, and he gave me a small smile."I will."His eyes were heavy-lidded now, his grip on my hand loosening. I smiled, moving him to sit with his head leaning on the other window on the passenger seat. His eyes fluttered close, and I looked out the window on my side of the seat, gesturing at the beta twins to enter the car.Quietly, they settled
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 mish...
