"Roger? What the hell are you doing here?"

"Wow. You look great." He smiled, scanning me from head to toe. If I didn’t know better, I'd have thought he was admiring me.

"You’re not fooling anyone. What do you want?" I snapped, my hands balling into fists. I knew Emily was in town, but I had totally forgotten that it meant this idiot was in town as well.

“I’m here for a while and realized you go to school here.” He smiled, scratching the back of his neck like old days. “I was wondering if you want to grab a drink or something.”

“Did you hit your head in an accident? You’ve got some nerves to return after six years and ask for a drink. Are you mad?”

“No, Ly baby.” he said and my face scrunched up. The rage that rose in me was beyond words could comprehend. All I could think of was: another minute with him could mean I’d be sentenced to life imprisonment if I took the volume of my fury out on him. “Leave.” Turning to take my leave, he grabbed my hand and scurried to stand in front of

    Ten Minutes until ten pm, and I had already fled downstairs. A burst of energy exploded from the depth of my insides, almost like butterflies in my belly. One would think I had just won a million dollar lottery, but no, I was just meeting my professor/mate. I watched the clock (aka, my phone) tick at every second till it was finally 10pm. "Yay! Anytime from now." Grinning, I lifted my head, eager to see that annoyingly pretty face. Brian's eyes, jawline, his damn gorgeous abs… these images playing in my head and my eyes wanted to behold them again. This past week had been filled with texting Brian back to back, and unlike Roger, he was a quick texter. He also texted me first most times, not making me seem like a desperate loser.The clock kept ticking and ticking till the giddiness in me died and was soon replaced with fury. "What the hell? It's 11pm!" I spat, causing a girl walking to the dorm to flinch. One hour, yet he hadn't showed up. No call, no text, nothing! I wanted to st

    "You want me to sleepover?" A familiar burst of energy overtook me. "Yes, but it's your choice. I mean, you don't—" "What if that strange attraction happens again?" "We'll deal with it, but i promise it doesn't happen all the time.” He assured me, then a smirk grew on his lips, “except you overfantasize about me." "In your dreams." I rolled my eyes. "I'm starving." "So you'll stay?""Since you insist, yes, I'll stay over." I started walking towards the kitchen and he followed behind him. "Great! I have a spare bedroom perfect for you, then we can watch a movie after?” “Sure, sounds good.” A text popped up on my phone. “Hi, beautiful. This is Blade. I’m so sorry for not texting in such a long time. I lost my contacts, but just retrieved them. Do you wanna grab lunch with me sometime next week?’ The idea of grabbing lunch with another man felt so illegal and nasty. It shouldn't, right? Lifting my head to glance at Brian, he flashed a millisecond smile that made my heart feel

    His kiss was gentle, yet stung with passion. It erased every embarrassment from me. As I tasted the flavor of his mouth, sparks corroded my internals and he did a great job in making the moment moderate enough for public view. I wanted to hold him, to explore every inch of his mouth, but he pulled away, clearly to avoid things getting heated. "Let's get going." He smiled and rose up. It re-dawned on me that I was in public and a few people had cast glances at us, and I swear, I wanted to be swallowed into the ground.When we took our leave, my lips still pulsated from his kiss, the sparks not leaving me. Dang, he was a good kisser. We got into his car and I prayed he'd keep the journey silent; he did everything but remain silent. "Your cheeks are red," he teased me over and over again. My mind didn’t stop racing through the effect of his kiss, so my cheeks remained heated. When he didn’t stop teasing me about it, I hid my face. "Where are we going now?" "You'll find out." *** M

    Roger's eyes bugged out. "This has to be a lie. Lyric, come on. He can't be your boyfriend."He really thought I was an absolute loser. That made my brows furrow and I stepped forward, maintaining a fierce stance in front of him. "I swear you're pissing me off so bad.""I don’t care.” He had never cared. Turning to Blade, “You. Why are you pretending to be her boyfriend? I know she's too broke to have paid you, so why are you ...." He trailed off, a smirk crawling on his lips. "Oh, her body. I mean, she's gotten hotter so she must be better in bed." "Roger!" Blade walked past me and punched him in the face. It made Roger fall backwards, his hand falling on his nose. "Darn it!" He hissed and lifted his head with blood oozing out of his nose. He held his fingers up to scan the blood and hissed again. "Have you lost it?" "I should be asking you that." I spat, my nose scrunched up. "Six years is enough time for people to change. I'm not the same loser you know, but clearly you're sti

    Proud to announce that I had gone two days without responding to Brian. He had called me over a hundred times (no kidding), sent multiple texts, and voice-mails I didn't bother to listen to. I wasn’t going to let another man use me and think he could get away with it. I rolled off my bed and picked my phone up. I had two new text messages. One was from my brother, Tone. 'The mechanic said it might take a while.' Oh yeah, thank goodness, his car had broken down about 10 hours into the journey, so he couldn't arrive here. The joy that filled my soul was beyond comparable. The other message was from Blade: 'Good morning, sunshine. Did you have a goodnight rest?' Blade had been texting me constantly, and while I'll admit that it was a little too much, the annoyance from Brian's situation fueled my passion to respond to him. 'Good morning. I did, indeed.' I replied his text.A notification popped up, showing that I had an email from my student account. Opening it, I read the heading. '

    If anyone had told me I’ll be going to Maui for my thanksgiving break, I’d have laughed at and called them stupid. Well, here I was, on a private jet, with my mate, to Maui.“What are you thinking of?” Brain asked, walking toward me.“Uh? Uh?’ I blinked back to reality. He gave a lopsided smile and sat beside me, buckling his seatbelt. “Were you thinking about me?”“In your wildest dreams,” I rolled my eyes. The servers brought our meal and it was cooked and presented like those I had seen in movies of people with high-class. “This is a private jet. Brian, you're rich.," that realization just struck me. "I guess." He shrugged. So many questions flooded my thoughts, like why the heck was someone rich enough to own a private jet working as a professor. I guess that's what this trip is for; I was going to uncover everything about him. By that, I meant both abstract and physical.*** I had expected us to arrive at a luxurious hotel, but even better, it was a beach house; it looked sma

    Watching Brain stirring up breakfast made him look very hot. His arms moved in perfect rhythm with the music blasting through the mini speaker. This man didn’t know what wearing a shirt was, always showing us those fine abs. I wanted to run my hands over his chest all day. However, I fought the urge. Memories from last night's kiss flooded my thoughts and it made me bite down on my lips. It was just a kiss, I tried to convince myself, yet the sparks, the passion, and everything about the kiss still affected me greatly, confirming that it was not just any kiss. . He walked over to me. “Hey, kitty.” Ouu, that’s new. I like that one. “It's partially sunny. Do you want to sit outside after breakfast?: "Why not?" He flashed a smile then left to serve my breakfast. Once we were done eating, we stepped out and sat at the shore of the beach. The wind made my hair dance around, getting in my line of vision multiple times. The sand was so soft and a mix of cold and hot. The water kept tric

    Returning to the beach shore, Brian lifted an eyebrow. "You took a while. What happened?" "It's nothing. I just received a spam call." I tried to smile, but it came out forced. "Are you sure?" "Yeah, it's nothing." Nothing like being threatened by your ex's girl. "Okay, if you insist." Rising to feet, he stretched his arm to me. "Let's go to the store to get new clothes. I have a surprise for you.""You do?" That immediately filled me with a bubbly energy and I took his hand, rising to my feet. "What's the surprise?" "It wouldn't be one if I tell you.""A hint?" "No!" "Please…" I tried to look cute by pouting, but he just shook his head at me. Scoffing, I gave up and we both went in for a change of clothes. My brain calculated every possible definition of a surprise from Brian, but nothing could match it. Then, my eyes widened as a thought crossed my mind: 'was he going to officially ask me to be his girlfriend?' I internally squealed. I understood our relationship was going

  • Mated To my Professor   EPILOGUE

    It was the day I had been waiting for, the day I had worked so hard to reach. My graduation day. I stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection as I adjusted my cap and gown. A sense of accomplishment washed over me, but it was mixed with bittersweetness. The road to this moment had been nothing like I imagined. The journey had been full of unexpected turns—love, loss, battles, and triumphs.In the early days after Brian’s coma, when I learned I was pregnant, I never thought I’d make it to this moment, let alone have my son with me by my side. The idea of balancing motherhood with my education had seemed impossible. But here I was, with my son, my husband, and my pack—ready to take the next step in life, even though I knew it wouldn’t be easy.I smiled softly at my reflection, adjusting my gown one last time. My son, only two years old now, was already napping peacefully in his crib, a reminder of how much had changed in such a short time. Brian had been there for me every s

    The first day back in classes felt so unreal. The energy of the students buzzed through the air—laughter, conversations, the occasional groan about assignments—but none of it truly reached me. Not with everything that had happened. Not with everything that still weighed on my mind.Brian walked beside me, his presence a steady force, but even he felt different. Stronger. More protective.As if he could sense what was coming.And he wasn’t wrong.'Goodbye, my love.' He said through mind link, causing my cheeks to flush red. 'Goodbye, my love.' I mind linked back and giggled loud, earning side eyes from two of the girls about to enter my classroom as well. The moment I stepped into my first lecture hall, Professor Jenna’s cold gaze landed on me.Jenna… jeez. How could I forget this witch?A woman who should’ve been nothing more than an ordinary professor, but she wasn’t. She had a fixation on Brian, one she had never hidden well. Before the war, before everything, I had ignored it. Br

    ~ LYRIC ~ The ray from the sun shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the pack house, casting golden light over the polished wood floors. I stretched my arms above my head, breathing in the sweet fresh morning air as I gazed out over the training grounds. Warriors were practicing, their movements sharp and precise, but today wasn’t about war or battles.Today was about something far more terrifying:School. Yup, you heard that right. I gotta go back to school. I had almost forgotten that the rest of the world hadn’t stopped when Brian was in a coma, when I was learning to rule, when I had been fighting to hold our pack together. But time had moved forward, and now it was time for me to return to the life I had before I became Luna.Not that I minded.I loved being Luna.I loved the power, the responsibility, the feeling of belonging to something greater than myself. The pack respected me. They trusted me. I had spent the past few weeks proving that I wasn’t just Brian’s wife—

    ~ LYRIC ~Two weeks had passed. It had been. Two whole weeks. Two gruesome weeks. Two weeks of Brian laying in the hospital with no medical diagnosis. No treatment possible because no identifiable problem. It had been Two weeks of ruling without him. Yes, on the bright side, the pack had completely defeated the enemy and wiped out all of them, thanks to my power (not to brag or anything), so I had been leading the pack as Luna completely, with help from Jordan. Poor Jordan was mourning the murder of his beloved. It broke my heart for him, but Anna got what she deserved. It had been two weeks of waking up alone, staring at the empty space beside me where Brian should have been.Two weeks of trying to be strong while my heart ached in ways I never thought possible.Brian was still in a coma. My mother, too.The healers said their conditions were stable—alive, breathing—but that wasn’t enough. Not for me.Every day, I carried the weight of my pack on my shoulders. I made decisions, I

    ~ LYRIC ~I couldn’t speak— speaking was too much. I couldn't breathe. Brian’s body lay limp in my arms, his warmth slipping away with every second that passed. My hands were soaked in his blood, trembling as I pressed them against the wound that should have never been there. This wasn’t how it was supposed to end. Not at all. What was all that stupid prophecy of saving him about? I had tried all I could, summoned all the power I could find, yet I couldn't heal him quickly. A violent storm of emotions built inside me—rage, grief, desperation—twisting and churning until my body couldn’t contain it anymore. I wanted to explode. Watching the love of my life grow cold and pale in front of me was a sight that stabbed my soul. "I would not let this happen!" I growled and rose up, his pool of blood dripping from me. "No! I screamed."I would not let this happen. A throat wrecking scream tore from my throat, shaking the very ground beneath me. My power exploded outward in a bright

    ~ LYRIC ~I woke to the sound of gunfire.The sharp, jarring cracks destroyed the peaceful silence of the night, sending a jolt of terror through me. I sat up so fast that the blankets wrapped around my legs scratched my skin, my heart thundering in my chest.Beside me, Brian was already moving. Clearly, someone had experience in years of war and survival that had trained him well because he didn’t hesitate, he didn’t freeze, he didn’t seem fazed. He grabbed his armor and weapons from the bedside, his body tense with readiness.“What’s happening?” I breathed, throwing off the cover and getting off the bed to match his speed. His eyes were already scanning the darkened room, his jaw clenched. “We’re under attack.”Another round of gunfire exploded outside, followed by the distant shouts of warriors and the sickening sounds of metal meeting flesh.My stomach twisted. I was growing tired of this whole war nonsense and just couldn't wait for it to end . We barely had time to pull on o

    “They are here!” A guard announced.I didn’t have time to panic.My vision had given me an advantage, but that advantage would mean nothing if I didn’t act now. The enemy was coming, and they were coming fast.I stood straight ignoring the way my body still trembled from the strain of seeing through time. I forced my voice to be steady, authoritative. I was Luna. They needed to hear confidence, not fear.“Jordan ,” I said, my tone fierce. “Gather everyone. Now.”He hesitated for a while before nodding and rushing off to sound the alarm.Minutes later, the war room filled with warriors, guards, and pack leaders. Their eyes were wide, their bodies tense. They knew something was coming.I took my place at the center of the room, armed with full armor and a gun for myself. .“The enemy is on their way,” I announced. “They’ve taken Alpha Brian as a distraction, hoping we’d be too broken to fight back. But we will fight back. And we will win.”A murmur ran through the crowd as they digested

    ~ RAINA ~I never should have agreed to this crap. Fake dating Blade was supposed to be easy. A simple arrangement. No emotions, no expectations—just a mutual agreement to keep up appearances. He needed to make Lyric jealous, and I… Well, I wasn’t sure what I was getting out of it anymore. It was initially for the sake of research, but I had barely done any research here. It was all just war, war, war. . At first, it was fun. Blade had a way of making things exciting, always pulling me into his world of effortless confidence and easy charm. I told myself it didn’t matter that he was still hopelessly in love with Lyric. That his eyes always followed her when she was in the room. That I was just a placeholder in whatever game he was playing. But then, somewhere along the way, I started wanting more. I realized it today when I saw the way he looked at her, even when she was barely holding herself together. We were at the training grounds when he spotted her. Lyric stood off to

    ~ LYRIC ~I stretched my legs across the couch, letting out a satisfied sigh as I sank deeper into the cushions. The warm scent of my mother’s cinnamon tea spread through the air, blending with the soft crackling of the fireplace. It was one of those rare, peaceful nights—one where the world outside didn’t seem so chaotic, and all that mattered was the quiet comfort of home. Tone sat across from me, one arm draped over the back of the chair, his face relaxed for once. For some reason, tonight, he looked… happy. Maybe even at peace. Mom was laughing at something he said, her voice light and full of warmth. I didn’t even catch the joke, but I smiled anyway, just glad to be here with them. In the midst of the war, I could still sit and enjoy a nice family time. “This tea is perfect,” I said, wrapping my fingers around the warm mug. “Mom, I swear, you should bottle this up and sell it. You’d make a fortune.” She chuckled, shaking her head. “It’s not that big of a deal. I just use a l
