PAcing around the room, I thought hard, contemplating on whether or not I should go there. The thought of stepping out of this room alone was torture and I didn’t know if I was ready for that. Biting my lower lip, I paused, taking a deep breath.

My vision aligned with the framed photo of Brian at the top of the bed and it stirred a sensational wave around me, my skin tingling for his hold. As much as I missed the physical touch, honestly, I missed talking to him. It had always been nice to have someone to share every useless detail of my life with, over text or in-person, but he wasn’t even responding to my texts anymore. This was clearly his bedroom, but he had never been here again.

I stepped out of my bedroom, and once again, no one paid attention to my presence. It made me feel a strange unsettling feeling in my gut, but it erased and was replaced with something heavier by the time I arrived in front of Brian’s office.

A huge, tall, black, wooden double door stood in front of m

    Watching the clock tick from the umpteenth time was starting to become a hassle. I hugged my feet to my chest, my butt sinking deep into the softness of the bed. ‘He’s not coming,’ Maya admitted. I sighed in defeat and laid on the bed, hugging a pillow to my chest. A few minutes passed when I heard the door click, then it was quietly pushed open. I heard silent footsteps, like tiptoes. My eyes closed as I listened to the sound of the steps approaching the bed, waiting till it got closer. The steps stopped beside the bed. My eyelids complied and stayed shut. A weight dropped to the bed beside me, something hovering over my face as a familiar sweet scent of bourbon vanilla, mixed with mint and oak filled my nostrils. I felt fingers brush my hair, and from the sparks that coated my skin, I immediately knew who it was. I turned and felt him jerk from the bed. When I opened my eyes, Brian was standing by the nightstand, pretending to be taking something out of it.I bit back a smile

    A simple ball, I had read. It was just going to be a small parlor event, I had assumed. I didn’t need to dress too fancy, I had thought. Wrong, wrong, wrong! Tell me why we just arrived at a ginormous building, filled with couples in outfits that seemed right off the runway, people in makeup that could compete with plastic surgery. Yet, here I was, in the same outfit I had worn on my first date withBrian. It wasn't ugly, but maybe a little too underdressed for this. “Are you nervous, kitty?” Brain asked, gently squeezing my hand. “Uh?”I jerked my neck to him.“Your palm is sweaty,” He pointed out.“Oh, I’m sorry.” I quickly took my hand from his grip. “Don’t be ridiculous. I don’t care if they’re sweaty.” He grabbed my hand again, flashing a smile at me. I smiled back. “You’re obsessed with me, even my nasty sweat is therapeutic for you.” I joked to soothe my nerves down. “You’re not wrong. I wouldn’t even mind if you rub them down my body, all the way to places unreachable to no

    What?”I half chuckled, hoping they were lying.“YEs, so what the hell do you want?” Emily snapped. “We're trying to move on and start over in a new pack. Don’t try to ruin it again.” No, no, no, no, no! This couldn’t be happening again.“No, you can’t be the Alpha. It just can’t happen. Find a different pack or anything else, just not here.” I shook my head. “Why do you care? WHy are you—” She gasped mid-sentence, quickly taking her phone out of her purse. “Baby,” she pulled her phone to him. “Is he the one?”“Yes,” he said and she gasped again. “You’re dating the Fisher family, so you’re here to take the Alpha position from us. No way!”“What?” Roger frowned. “You’ve crossed the line now. Why? Did you know all along that he was a rival of my granduncle?” “Why would I bother to know? I’m not in any way obsessed with your lives.” I frowned, yet my heart was pounding harshly, my thoughts racing through how I was going to explain this to Brian. Emily scoffed. “YOu stupid pretender.

    ~ RAINA ~ Pacing around the bathroom of the bar, I stopped and concluded: Tone was hiding something from me, and I knew it. He was always running off in the middle of the night to do whatever heavens knew. He would leave at intervals to answer multiple phone calls, and he had some physical changes that weren't normal, like his eyes changing colors. It was too confusing. Plus, I didn't like it. Exiting the bathroom, I made my way to the counter to order a glass of margarita when my gaze trailed off to Blade. "Hey!" I waved frantically. "How are things going between you and Lyric?" He shrugged. "Bad. She's not talking to me anymore. I think she blocked me." What in the world? Why'd she do that? "Can you please talk to her for me?""I would, but she wouldn't listen to me either. She's not gonna answer my calls or texts if I call." I sighed, taking a sip of my drink. Lyric was such a hard puzzle to solve. My phone buzzed, and I lifted it, seeing a call from Tone. Answering it, I gri

    The hag stared at me and began to laugh. “What do you mean? What gift? How do I activate it?” I wondered. She stepped backwards then gazed into the confusion of my eyes before bursting into another fit of laughter.“ What? Do you think discovering such a unique gift would come by for free? Oh no, darling, no darling. You've got to pay and it's going to cost you a huge amount.” It was at this moment that I knew she was nothing but a scam. I glared down at her. “Get the hell out of here.” Her eyes widened and she stared at me and attempted to hold me but I stepped back. “No, darling. I know you might think it's a scam but I promise you you're missing out on a big opportunity; it's just going to cost you a lot because whatever we're going to need to activate this is going to be super expensive.” She flashed a yellow toothy grin.Scrunching my face, I stepped back. “I don't care and I'm not interested, so get out.” “Child , you're making a big mistake.” “I said I don't care!” I

    ~ BRIAN ~ (I know, I know, we finally get to see things from my perspective). Today represented the peak of my life. I had put up the challenge to the Alpha and Beta family, and J was ready to take over and finally satisfy and reclaim the desires of my past generations.I was fully dressed, my body was now quoted in my full armor for war. Just then my gaze trailed over to the most amazing, most gorgeous being sleeping in my bed. It felt like time stopped by just staring at her. Every day of my life, I questioned how I got lucky to have someone this gorgeous as my mate, as mine, mine to claim, mine to have, mine to hold, and mine to love. If anyone had told me that I would ever fall in love with anybody like this, I would have argued, because since I found out about the curse, it had ruined my passion for romance, filling me with the idea that I would never experience the joy of having a mate.However, upon finding out about Lyric, she had been a dream I looked forward to since th

    ~ BRIAN ~ “No, Mom. Stop it. This is not the time to start your nonsense. I know you don't like Lyric, but it's not the time to make accusations.” I snapped at her. “Oh, so now I'm making accusations? When I told you that girl was ill-fated, I told you you had the opportunity to change your mate and request for someone else, but no, you just had to stick with that thing.” As she said that, my hands balled into fists, a wave of heat rushing up to my head. “I don't know what the heck you saw in her, but look at what she's done. She already messed things up for you. That filthy—”“Mom, be quiet.” I growled and glanced around at the confused faces of the people. “this is not the place and this is not the time for this. I have claimed the Alpha power; it is an important part of my life and we need to figure out what went wrong. Lyric must be missing.” Shuffling sounds came from behind me and I glanced in the direction to see Roger begin to move, coughing. His eyes opened as he cough

    ~ LYRIC ~ It had been 42 hours, I thought to myself, glancing at the wall clock on the broken wall across from me. I had six hours left. I knew I had to hurry. If those six hours passed and Brian couldn't kiss mee, then he’ll be defeated. The entire scheme would be a waste. Heaven know what would be on his mind right now, I found out Emily had snuck in to clear my closet out to make it seem like I had run away instead. Brian must hate me so much. I glanced at the rectangular block by my feet, something that once bubbled with lively videos and text messages,now laying at my foot, dead. She had also turned my phone off to avoid any communication.I stared around the room, and it was obvious I had been dumped in an abandoned barn that looked like it had been built in the twentieth century. Suddenly, I noticed a knife. My eyes widened. I immediately hopped with the chair andI grabbed it with my feet. It took a while till I successfully passed it to my hands, slicing through the rope

  • 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
