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.

  • A Baby For My Professor    Twenty Seven

    CLARISSA I didn't know a lot about my mother. She died three days after I was born. My father rarely ever spoke of her, and whenever he did, his eyes would be clouded by grief. Staring at the framed photo in my hand, I wiped away the tears on my cheeks, trying not to get too emotional. Since my mother used to be a director at the academy, perhaps she'd been a powerful woman. I wanted to know more about her.I turned to look at my mate, swallowing past the lump in my throat."Did you—" I started to say. But then he pressed his hand over my mouth, gesturing at me to stay silent. As if on cue, the lights came on, and a loud feminine voice called out."Who's there?"I recognized it immediately. It was Professor Storm's.What was she doing here? I couldn't help but wonder.Slowly, Jaxon moved closer to me, shifting me into his arms. My breath caught in my throat when he suddenly lifted me off the ground in one fluid motion like I weighed less than a piece of paper.Footsteps inche

    CLARISSA Stefan was awfully pale. There were dark bags under his eyes, and he was visibly trembling. I stared at him in confusion, surprised to see how badly his condition had deteriorated."How did you know I was here?" I asked him, and he gave me a weak smile."It's the only place I could think of when I learnt you weren't in your dorm," he told me.I squinted at him, unsure of how to feel about what he'd just said to me."What's going on with you? You didn't look this bad last time we spoke," I pointed out.Letting out a sharp breath, he sat down on a slightly raised pavement by the gate.“I was born unlucky. I happened to be born on the night the void was open. It sucked a part of my essence, and there’s no way to get it back.”I frowned. “Quick question. What is the void?”“I don’t know much about it. It’s somewhere between life and death. It wasn’t meant to be exposed to humans or supernatural beings. But it was once forcefully opened by someone. Since then, it opens eve

    JAXON Clarissa Nightbourne. That beautiful young woman was quickly occupying my heart and smashing through my walls like she’d trained all her life for it. I wanted her so badly, it physically hurt. But what could I do? Until she was fully able to use and control her power, she couldn’t fix me. Even so, the idea of using her for that purpose just didn’t sit right with me. I wanted to pamper her and serenade her with my affection. I didn’t want her to be burdened by the thought that she needed to fix me. If I could exist side by side with her, it was already a blessing. I wanted to be selfish and claim her despite everything standing in our way. Nonetheless, each time I saw those brilliant purple eyes of hers, I was always overcome with the urge to keep her safe. And if safe meant keeping her away from me, I would do it. I was heading to my office when I saw her with the triplet elites. They were deeply engrossed in a conversation. I’d driven Clarissa to school earlier that mo

    CLARISSA I saw it in the way he looked at me. He was terrified. Worried, I breezed into his office, shutting the door behind me. I rushed to his side, my heart sinking when I saw how pale he’d become. Even worse, I didn’t know what to do to make him feel better. He trembled in my arms, his eyes rolling into the back of his head. One minute he was in my arms. The next, he was gone, vanished into thin air. Terror seized me, my pulse pounding in my ears.“Professor Hale?” I croaked, spinning around.He was gone. The truth hit me like a punch to my stomach.“No,” I whimpered, sinking to my knees.Where did he go?Was it the curse?“Jaxon?” I called out, tears blurring my vision. Was this the end?What about our child?“Jaxon!” I yelled, and all of a sudden, the air in the office shifted. And there he was, slumped in his chair. He was shivering so hard, I bolted to his side, pulling him into my arms.“It’s okay. You’re okay.” My voice cracked as I stroked his hair.I could feel eve

    CLARISSA It was the first time I was being asked to leave in such a bone-chilling manner. Therefore, it caught me off guard. I stared at the director with my brows deeply furrowed. Wrapping my head around what I'd just heard was proving to be quite a challenge. Was this a warning or a threat? I wasn't quite sure.He placed his hands on my shoulders, and I stiffened."I'm telling you this for the sake of my old friendship with your mother. Leave this academy and never return," he said, and I squinted at him, suspicious.What exactly was he hiding?Was my mother somehow related to it?Either way, I wouldn't get my answers if I let him intimidate me into silence. So, I lifted my chin and squared my shoulders."Why?" I demanded and he frowned in confusion."You're not afraid," he pointed out, and I smiled."If I was going to get so easily frightened by every threat, I wouldn't have come to this academy," I said.He clenched his jaw, irritation darkening his eyes."You're just like

    CALLUM I'd suspected it at first. But I didn't have any evidence. Now I did. Watching them from my hiding spot made me feel sick to my stomach. I'd believed I'd gotten through to Clarissa. I mean, I'd let myself get hurt for her, conjuring the shadow people just to make sure she felt something for me. Yet, there she was, leaning into his embrace like it was the most natural thing to her. I should've known that they were mates. Despite my prejudice against Jaxon, I'd always known that he was morally inclined and wouldn't take advantage of his student just because he felt like it. It was one of the many reasons why I hated him.I clenched my jaw, my claws pushing out of my fingers. They itched to taste Jaxon's blood. Clarissa was mine. Only mine. She was blessed with the power of a goddess, and I wanted that power. And if she refused to come to my side willingly, I would make her.This was just the beginning. It was high time I dragged her into my world. A world where white rose

    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 "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.

    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
