A Baby For My Professor Nineteen
CLARISSA All of a sudden, the ceiling of the cave lit up, everyone gazed up at it in awe. There were creepers on the ceiling, but they were far from the ordinary. They had golden leaves that glowed brilliantly. My gaze met Stefan's, and he smirked. Then, he instantly took off. The others followed after him. Blowing out a breath, I followed behind. My feet came to a grinding halt when we were all met with a five-way passage. Instantly, I sensed that I'd seen this before. My eyes widened when I realized why. The map of the Golden Leaf Cove.I'd seen this exact same layout in it. This meant we were in the Golden Leaf Cove.According to the map, the moonstone was on a sword located in the third passage. This was an opportunity. Yes, this was good.Feeling my torn flesh mend, I sucked in a sharp breath and walked into the third passage, which was brightly illuminated just like the rest of the cave.Jaxon had told me that it was dangerous to go to the cove alone. Did he already kn

JAXONA While Ago, I had to get to Clarissa. It wasn't just instincts, it was a necessity. I could think of all the things that could go wrong in the hunt, and every single one of them involved her getting hurt.I moved in a blur of movements, making my way towards the Golden Leaf Cove. And soon, it was in my line of vision. I was close now. But then, shadowy figures surrounded me faster than I could blink. There were too many of them. It wasn't supposed to be possible. If they were gathered there like that, they must've been summoned through a blood ritual. I had a feeling this was strongly related to Clarissa's involvement with the hunt. Whoever had summoned the shadow people didn't want me to get to her.Curling my fists, I released a sharp breath, my claws making an appearance.Snarling, I slashed through the nearest figure, its form disintegrating into mist before reforming again. No matter how many I cut down, more took their place, circling me like wolves scenting blood

CLARISSA I felt the change within him before he pulled away. His temperature had spiked up and his body had gone stiff. Something was wrong.I reached for him, and he moved away from me, his gaze fixed on the ground in front of him."Jaxon—" I started to say, and he shook his head."Not now. Don't ask," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. His breathing was uneven, his fists clenched so tightly that his blood stained knuckles turned white.My heart sank. The last time I'd seen him like this was in his office, when he had tried to hide whatever was tormenting him. Now, it was happening again.I hated being clueless, and seeing him in this condition made me worry that whatever was affecting someone as powerful as him was much bigger than anything I could think of."Give me your hand," he said, and I swallowed hard, holding out my hand to him.Quietly, he slashed his claws across the inside of his wrist, and blood welled to the surface. Then he allowed his blood to drop on

CLARISSA I narrowed my eyes at Stefan, crossing my arms. "What do you mean?"His gaze dropped to the ground, his shoulders hunched."I can't tell you everything right now," he muttered. "But I need you to meet me in the school garden tomorrow night."A dry laugh escaped my lips. "For someone who needs my help, you sure are bossy."His head snapped up, panic flaring in his eyes. "I do need your help. I swear I'm not trying to set you up."I exhaled sharply, already turning away. "Then forget it.""You're wasting my time." I added, already regretting listening to him in the first place."I'm dying!" He blurted out.I froze."You're the only one who can save me. You saw it when we first met, didn't you?" He added, his voice laced with desperation.I halted, balling my hands into fists.The memory clawed its way back—the way he'd seemed lost in a poisonous haze, the way he'd been frozen in place. Something had been terribly wrong with him.A war raged inside me. I didn't trust h

JAXON I'd been slipping for three days. It was the first time I'd slipped for that long.And when I'd regained consciousness, the fever had struck me hard. Dante and his twin must've been scared shirtless. They'd asked Erin to take care of me. She was the one my father had wanted me to marry when I'd been in his pack. I'd tried to dissolve our engagement, but Erin wasn't going to have it. She claimed that she would kill herself if I ever went after another woman. Therefore, when she'd learnt that I'd met my fated mate, she'd grown irritable, desperate to rip us apart.I should've seen this coming.When she'd suddenly visited my office earlier that morning, claiming that she was worried that I was still not strong enough to return to the academy, she'd been acting strange.It turns out that she'd been waiting for this moment.I stared at Clarissa, a lump forming in my throat. I could see the unmistakable pain and anger in her eyes. She probably believed I'd played her for a foo

CLARISSA "Get back!" Professor Hale yelled at me, a frantic expression on his face. Confused, I turned behind me to see what was making him so worried. My eyes widened when I saw the approaching masked man. His ruby ring caught the morning sunlight and glimmered. Instantly, I recalled where I'd seen that ring. And when I did, my rage consumed me. Seven Years Ago, I was excited. Today was my father's birthday, and I'd baked him a birthday cake for the first time in my life. With the help of Gwen, my assistant, the strawberry cake had been baked perfectly. Now, it was time to present it to him. With a grin on my face, I knocked on the door of his study with my free hand. When I got no response, I pushed the door open and walked in. But the moment I looked up, I was greeted by the sight of my father slumped in his chair with a knife buried in his chest. Horrified, I dropped the cake."No, don't—" my father choked out, and from the corner of my eyes, I sa

CLARISSA I slipped in and out of consciousness so many times. There were times when I felt them dab my head with a towel. I could smell antiseptics and my blood. I could feel them prodding at me. The pain finally dulled, and I fell asleep. When I awoke again, the world was hazy, swimming in soft greys.There was a dull pressure on my hand. Someone was holding me. A lopsided grin curled my lips as I lifted my hand to touch his dark hair. He was sitting by my side, resting his head on the bed. He seemed to be asleep, judging from the way he didn't even stir when I stroked his hair. A strange peace settled over me, so fragile it felt like glass. I was too tired to speak, too fogged to think.So I closed my eyes and fell asleep once more. I stirred a few more times, pulled towards consciousness by soft voices or the gentle squeeze of his hand. He never left. Not once. Even if I couldn't speak, even if my mind was clouded, I felt him."Clarissa? Can you hear me?" A feminine voice

JAXON Ashlyn Torres. She was one of the students I'd once locked in my basement for daring to touch my mate. Clearly, she hadn't learnt her lesson. Students like her were insufferable nuisances who needed more than just one warning to put them in their place. I was sick of having to deal with this. I was too old—and too tired—for this.Even so, it was obvious that she was cooking mischief in her head. Desperate people made the easiest pawns."What do you want?" Clarissa snapped, her voice tight with anger. Her emotions had been volatile lately, and I couldn't risk her powers flaring again. Therefore, I needed to grasp the reins of the situation.So I took her hand and steered her behind me. Ashley's eyes sparkled with amusement."Sure, you must want to protect her since you're her baby daddy. But what would everyone else think when they find out?"Good. She didn't know that Clarissa was my mate. If that was the case, there was no need to get my hands dirty."What are you going to

JAXON They attacked from all sides, wielding silver blades. But I was more worried about Clarissa, whom I could no longer see, as a result of the thick fog. I hoped Zoey had played her part in securing my mate. I hissed in pain as the edge of a blade sliced through my forearm, the silver causing the wound to sizzle. Still, I was distracted, constantly searching for a way to find Clarissa while I defended myself against the attackers.'I've got Clarissa,' Zoey mind-linked me, and relief sank into me.The masked attackers surged toward me, but this time I was ready. I moved like a storm, my claws tearing through flesh and knocking blades from trembling hands. There was no hesitance.I cut them down as quickly as they lurched themselves at me.From the corner of my eye, I noticed a flash of movement heading for me.I barely managed to move out of the way just in time to dodge Callum's attack. I scoffed, not surprised that he was the one they'd sent to get rid of me."The rest of

CLARISSA I had finally found a comfortable position after what felt like an eternity of tossing and turning, trying to accommodate the stubborn curve of my baby bump. Curled on my side, one leg drawn up and an arm tucked beneath my head, I let out a slow breath, the cool sheets offering a small moment of relief.I was dressed in a pair of joggers and a bralette. The simplest things felt like a chore tonight.Across the room, I could hear the sound of the shower running. My thoughts were a mess. If Callum hadn't reminded me of the consequence of getting involved in the silver gauntlet, I might've truly stayed ignorant until that day. My gaze wandered to the glass door of the bathroom. Steam had heavily fogged up the glass, but I could still see Jaxon's silhouette.My gaze trailed up his strong legs and thighs, my cheeks heating up when I noticed his firm ass.The ridiculous urge to smack him hit hard. But knowing Jaxon, I'd probably end up over his knee.The tattoo on his back

CLARISSA My heart thudded madly in my chest, my attention focused on my mate. The silver gauntlet had just begun. Callum stood by Jaxon's side as his partner. They stood on a raised silver platform on the field. There were twenty-eight teams on the arena. According to Jaxon, the gauntlet was based on elimination. Only five teams would advance to the finals. And from there, the winning team members combat with each other for the silver gauntlet crown.I knew the rules. Once the Gauntlet began, there were no substitutions. No interruptions.But rules were made for people with nothing to lose.And I had everything to lose.The sound of an ear-splitting whistle cut through the air, and each team leaped from their platforms and took off into a sprint towards the obstacle course.I balled my trembling hands as I watched the obstacle course shift and transform.Jaxon leaped across platforms that vanished behind him, dodging enchanted blades that sliced through the air and manouevre

JAXON We hadn't seen each other for more than ten years. Looking at her now, she looked much frailer and smaller than the fierce woman I used to know. Our resemblance was striking. We were mother and son after all. Beside her stood Dante, who had his head lowered. "I tried to stop her, but she insisted that I give her your address," he mumbled. This was how bad my relationship with my mother had become. She didn't even know her son's home. My feelings towards her were complicated. A part of me hated her for never speaking up for me or believing in me even before my sister's death happened. The other part of me felt sorry for her. She'd lost a child after all. Maybe my father had influenced her, convinced her to isolate herself from me. But seeing her now, I wasn't sure if my thoughts were wrong or right. "Jaxon," she said, her voice cracking. I blinked at her, a storm welling inside of me. Why was she here? Why show herself now? "Mother," I droned, and her grey eyes welle

JAXON I was a coward. I should've told her everything. I'd told myself I'd kept it from her to protect her, but that was a lie. I knew that the void played a big part in my growing negative emotions. However, I was also aware that some of it was all my fault. When Callum had forced me to raise questions about his involvement with the void, I should have confronted him head-on. But I had a feeling that many other people were involved. And I feared the truth. The knock on the door of my bedroom had me sitting up in bed. I could feel Dorian's presence behind it. "Come in," I said, and the door jerked open. Dorian stepped in, his gaze softening when it landed on me. "How are you feeling?" He asked, shutting the door behind him. I shrugged. "I've experienced worse." A sad smile ghosted over his lips as he moved over to sit on the edge of my bed. "I found what you asked me for," His voice was tight and brimming with tension. My chest tightened with unease. "The CCTV camera

CLARISSA Kieran visibly sized him up as he strode towards us, but Stefan didn't flinch or bat an eyelash. It was true that I'd somehow turned him into an errand boy, but I hadn't expected him to 'come to my rescue' like this. Stefan grabbed Kieran's wrist and pried his fingers off my arm. Then he pushed him away from me, moving to stand in front of me. Kieran's expression twisted into one of disdain."You whore. Is this another one of your boy toys?" Kieran spat, and Stefan folded his arms across his chest."Why? Do you want to sign up?" His voice was tinged with so much sass, I couldn't help but let out a laugh.Kieran's green eyes darkened with rage, and he lurched forward in a bid to strike Stefan. Unfortunately, Stefan kicked his legs from under him, sending him crashing to the ground."Stay away from her. I won't give the same warning twice," Stefan said and took hold of my hand. Then he walked me far away from Kieran."Thank you," I mumbled, and he snorted."You alrea

CLARISSA Something changed after Callum's visit. Though he didn't say anything concerning, the look on my mate's face had indicated that something was wrong. Still, no matter how much we asked him what was going on, he refused to speak. Instead, he decided to go home, saying he needed some rest.Jaxon's condition took a downward spiral from that moment.The days that followed bled into weeks and months. And worse, my mate began to spiral.He barely ate or slept. Instead, he seemed to be digging into some mysterious information.According to the book I'd taken from the archive, conjuring the twin moons was risky, and there was a high chance of me losing my life. Still, for Jaxon's sake, I wanted to try it. There was a good chance that I could be successful. But my mate wasn't having it.He stopped me from coming over to his house, and he also took the book from me. Little did he know that I'd taken screenshots just in case. And I was secretly practising and preparing for the r

JAXON My body didn't feel like mine. Even my thoughts were broken and disoriented, like they belonged on a shattered puzzle piece."...Jaxon?"I looked up, startled by the sound of a familiar raspy voice which had turned that way because of how much he used to smoke. Dorian.I blinked at him, wondering when he'd stepped into my office. Wait, what if he'd been here for a while already? What if my blackouts were getting worse?"Were you listening to me?" He asked, and I shook my head slowly.His gaze softened, and he drew closer to me. "You look...cold," he said, moving over to me. I zoned out as he picked up my coat from the hanger and placed it around my shoulders.I didn't realize how much I'd been freezing until I felt the warmth of the fabric."How long have you been here?" He asked, and he gave me a smile. "Barely two minutes. I just got here."Relief sank into me."What were you saying?" I asked him, and he sank into the seat in front of my desk."I was talking about the si

CLARISSA I was speechless, my emotions were clogging my throat so much that I could hardly breathe. Jaxon was mocking me. Why? Was it because I'd finally seen him for what he was? Clearly, he was no hero. I'd always known of his morally grey tendencies, but this...he was pushing it too far."Since you've got it all figured out, what are you waiting for?" He said, his eyes sparkling with mischief and barely restrained psychosis. "Kill me."I shook my head in disbelief, tears welling up in my eyes. This wasn't supposed to happen. He was supposed to assure me that his intentions were pure.He moved closer to me, a mocking smile tugging at his lips. "Do it."I brought a hand to his chest to push him away. "Stop it, Jaxon. Stop!" I screamed at him, my voice trembling. "Please..."He didn't flinch. He watched me, his head tilted, as if I were a puzzle he no longer cared to solve."This is not you," I croaked, and he arched a brow."And how do you know that? We're both strangers, don'
