ALPHA PRINCE’S FORBIDDEN DESIRE 51| LENORA
I decided to call in sick for the next three days while I figured everything out.Technically, it wasn’t a lie—I was sick. Sick to my stomach, staring at the picture of Jessie, bruised, battered, and covered in blood. I stared at it for a long time, as if, if I just kept looking, the image would shift, distort—until suddenly, I’d realize it wasn’t really her.But no matter how long I sat in the middle of my living room, gripping my phone so tightly my fingers ached, the picture never changed. If anything, the longer I stared, the more I became convinced that the woman in the image was Jessie. And the sicker I felt.I tried texting the number back several times, but none of my messages went through. The number was private, untraceable—I couldn’t call it, nor could I get someone else to track it.I was lost.And after exhausting every option I could think of, I realized I had only two left.One: I could give up, return to Marcus, and face whatever punishment he had waiting for me.Or tw

This might be the longest week of my life.The days dragged by, each one slower than the last, as I counted down to Saturday. Every morning, I woke with the same thought: One day closer. And every night, as I lay awake staring at the ceiling, the same questions turned over in my mind. How was Victor planning to get Jessie out? Would he even follow through? And what would he want from me once he did?I was relieved he’d agreed to help—I had no other options, and I knew that without him, Jessie’s fate was sealed. But that relief was laced with unease, a steady undercurrent of anxiety that never fully left me. I owed him too much already. The only reason I was still here, still breathing, was because of him. How much more would he demand?I could imagine the possibilities. Maybe he’d ask me to keep an even closer watch on Elijah, to report on more than just his grades. Maybe he’d expect me to use my position, to influence people on his behalf. Or maybe it would be something worse—somethi

After assuring Morgan that I was fine—and mostly unaffected by what I dismissed as a childish attempt to rattle me—she reluctantly let it go. She muttered one last string of curses for the “unfortunate bastards who thought they were funny” before heading home.I watched her go, a small smile tugging at my lips despite the tension still coiled in my chest. I wasn’t used to having someone stand up for me so openly, to have someone express their anger for me instead of at me.The only person who had ever looked out for me before was Jessie. But even then, her concern had always been cautious, hidden beneath careful words and fleeting glances. Our friendship had been something fragile, something that could only exist in stolen moments—moments when we were sure Marcus or his people weren’t watching, when we knew we wouldn’t be punished for it.Outside those moments, Jessie could only watch with pitying eyes as I was yanked around and abused.Long after Morgan had left, I remained at my des

The ball blurred in my vision, bouncing erratically, almost as if it had a mind of its own. My hands felt disconnected from my body, slippery and uncooperative. My heart pounded, not with adrenaline but with a frantic, disjointed rhythm that made my chest tight and my breathing shallow. The stadium air felt stifling behind my helmet, the lights glaring down like a spotlight on my every mistake. My legs were heavy, like they were sinking into the polished wood floor. My head swam, the edges of my vision darkening as I struggled to focus. “Move, Elijah!” Lukas’s voice cut through the haze, sharp and commanding, but it sounded distant, as though he were shouting from underwater. Move. Move, I told myself. We were a few seconds away from winning or losing and with one right move, I could change the odds. I always did that, it was something that I was good at. But not right now, not in this state. I forced my feet to respond, to push forward, to do something. But my body betray

“Who the hell plays football high?” Lukas’s voice boomed through the locker room, ricocheting off the metal walls. He was pacing like a caged animal, his eyes blazing with frustration. I rubbed my temples, the remnants of the game still pounding in my head. I certainly wouldn’t have played football high, but there was a meeting with my father the day before and I needed something to numb the emotions. “Keep your voice down, man.” “Don’t ‘man’ me,” Lukas snapped, spinning to face me. “Do you even know how bad you looked out there? You cost us the championship, Elijah! You put the whole team at risk! What if you’d gotten tested before the match?! What do you think your father would have done? What the hell were you thinking?” “I don’t need the lecture,” I muttered, slumping onto the bench, I rolled my shoulders back, the weight of Luka’s stare digging into my back. “And I’m not high.” “Are you fucking kidding me? You’re actually trying to lie to me?” He took a threatening ste

“What’s a beautiful woman like you doing alone in a place like this?” The man’s voice was smooth, low and confident. I rolled my eyes and turned, ready to shoot down another hopeful suitor when my words got thoroughly stuck in my throat. He was younger than me—barely in his mid-twenties, I guessed—wavy black hair that fell over his forehead and just nearly brushing over his eyelids, his face was beautifully sculpted, high cheekbones, sharp jaw, slender nose all joined together to create a masculine and yet somewhat feminine look. Beneath his oversized hoodie, I could tell he was well built and even with the multicoloured lights bouncing about the walls of the bar, his gold eyes managed to shine even though it was faintly. But it wasn’t his good looks that got to me, it was him, as a person. Something within me stirred at his presence, I wanted to get closer to him, I wanted to know everything about him, my body seemed to burn from him and there was this movement under my skin

The room was dark, the soft hum of a distant city filling the silence. I stirred slowly, my body aching with a dull, persistent ache. My head throbbed as my memories began to surface—vivid, haunting, and unmistakable. The bar. The music. The dance. Him. The weight of it all pressed down on me, suffocating and relentless. I opened my eyes, my breath catching as they settled on the man next to me. His golden eyes were closed, his dark hair tousled, his expression soft in sleep. He looked peaceful. Elijah. A jolt of panic ran through me. What had I done? What had we done? I sat up quickly, the blanket slipping from my shoulders. My heart pounded in my chest, my breath uneven. I grabbed the edge of the blanket, clutching it tightly around me as though it could protect me from the memory, from him. My memories of last night were vivid, but it felt like I was watching someone else do all those things. The conversation, the dance, the desperation I felt, the need, the sex, the way

I woke up to an empty bed and an even emptier feeling in my chest. Ignoring the pounding headache hammering against my skull, I sat up and scanned the room, searching for any sign of the woman I’d spent the night with—Lenora. Flashes of her came rushing back: long, curly black hair, hazy green eyes, soft lips, and breathless moans. I groaned, dragging my hands down my face. I wasn’t surprised she’d left before I woke up. Hell, I half-expected it. But the disappointment that settled in my chest was deeper than it should’ve been. This wasn’t just post-hookup blues. It was… something else. Something I couldn’t make sense of. Lenora. I didn’t even know her last name. No idea where she worked or lived within the pack. Just a beautiful mystery who’d crashed into my life and left before I could begin to understand why she’d felt so important. Her scent still lingered faintly on the sheets—a mix of citrus and wildflowers. It teased me, fading by the second. My wolf stirred, claw

I spent the entirety of the day before high as a fucking kite, which meant I’d woken up this morning with a splitting headache and a mouth as dry as sandpaper. But still, by six a.m., I was up and ready for today’s bout of succession training—which included a sparring session with Luka and an “opportunity” to sit in on a council meeting. Or, as I liked to call it, a front-row seat to corruption in HD.The council was meant to be a system of checks and balances, a governing body that ensured the Alpha and Luna didn’t wield absolute power. In theory, they were supposed to be the voice of the people, holding leaders accountable, ensuring justice. But that only worked when the council wasn’t rotten to its core.Most of them were deep in my father’s pocket, their loyalty bought with power, fear, or the simple promise of indulgence. They turned a blind eye to his worst atrocities, some even partaking in them. I’d seen their faces at his events, standing in the shadows, sipping expensive whi

“Alright, that’s it for today,” I announced, closing my textbook with a decisive snap. The room filled with the familiar sounds of rustling papers and scraping chairs as students gathered their things. I let out a small breath of relief, it was a miracle in and of itself that I’d managed to complete today’s class without passing out in fatigue. I didn’t get a wink of sleep last night, my thoughts had been occupied by a certain golden-eyed Alpha Prince and the bruises that marred his body. I let my gaze sweep across the room and found him in the same place he sat in yesterday. A front seat, tucked away in the corner of the class, like the others he was shoving his materials back into his book bag. Unlike the others, his movements were just a little bit jerky, a small indicator of the horrifying wounds hidden beneath his sweater. I gave myself a moment this time, trying to figure out what my actions would look like to him. But no matter how I tried to push it aside, my actions s

And then, without another word, he turned sharply on his heel and stormed out of the cafeteria. No one moved. No one spoke. I didn’t realize I had already made my decision until I was already on my feet. Morgan shot me a look, but she didn’t say anything as I grabbed my bag and followed. — “Elijah!” My voice rang through the empty hallway, but he didn’t stop. If anything, he picked up his pace. I hurried after him, weaving past stray students lingering near their lockers, my heartbeat quickening as the distance between us grew. He was fast—too fast. It was like he didn’t even hear me, or maybe he just didn’t care. “Elijah, wait!” I nearly tripped as I rounded a corner, my breath coming in short bursts. My pulse pounded in my ears as I caught sight of him again, but then— He was gone. I skidded to a stop, scanning the empty corridor. Silence pressed down around me, thick and suffocating. For a moment, I thought I’d lost him completely. And then I felt it—something subtle, a

By the time lunch rolled around, I still hadn’t shaken the feeling.I sat in the cafeteria with Morgan, pushing my food around my plate, only half-listening as she talked about something that had happened in her morning class.Around us, the cafeteria was nearly deafening—louder than usual, especially on the students’ side. It was as if Elijah’s presence at school had amplified the gossip, and I still had no idea why.See, I wasn’t usually one to dwell on things, but for some reason, Elijah’s complete and utter dismissal of my presence refused to leave my mind.It shouldn’t have mattered. It was clear that something had happened to him this past week, something that had knocked him completely off his axis. I was the one who had insisted I was nothing but his professor. He didn’t owe me anything.And yet… I was hurt that he hadn’t even looked at me.I was a fool.“Good afternoon, Professor.”I looked up at the sound of Sophie’s voice.She stood with her tray in hand, an awkward smile p

The entire school was in chaos.Whispers filled the halls, rippling through every corridor like an unstoppable current. Students huddled in small groups, heads bent close, murmuring in hushed, urgent tones. The energy in the air was restless, charged with something I couldn’t quite name—excitement, fear, maybe both.I noticed it first thing in the morning when I walked in and caught the way people turned toward each other, leaning in as if sharing a secret too heavy to speak aloud. Then again during my classes, where I practically had to raise my voice just to cut through the distraction. Even in the faculty lounge, tucked away in a corner with Morgan, I watched the professors speak in quick, animated bursts, their hands moving wildly as if the words alone weren’t enough.They couldn’t stop talking. And yet, I had no idea what they were talking about.I wouldn’t call myself nosy—I never cared much for gossip, not that I’d ever had anyone to gossip with before Morgan—but there was some

He took a step forward, shoes crunching against the dry grass and then… his fist met my face. I stumbled back, the full force of an Alpha’s blow wasn’t someone anyone could stand least of all me in my intoxicated state. I rubbed a hand over my jaw, I was half sure it was broken and I could taste a metallic tang of blood in my mouth—the only reason I wasn’t sure if my jaw was broken was because I was numb somewhat, pain didn’t make sense and I could barely pinpoint the sensations in my own body. “I apologise, Father,” I spoke, not because I was genuinely sorry, but because it was a reflex at this point. I looked up at him when he gave no reply and found him standing a few feet away, staring at me with absolutely no emotion on his face. I struggled to focus on his features, it was like when he’d hit me he shook about the fog that was clouding my thoughts. The world was still thick with Vellum’s haze, dulling the edges of my reality, but not enough, not enough that I couldn’t feel t
