Resting her palms flat against my chest, Blake looked at me and mumbled, "Mr. Fang, why ain't you doing anything, and just looking at me. Don't you want to touch me too?"
"Hey," I uttered, frowning at her. "What do you think you are doing now!"
"Huh,"
"Trying to dare me, uh?"
Noticing the look of confusion in her ignorant eyes, I drew upward towards her face and said, "I have never felt this way before, especially to a woman because it shouldn't be possible. What did you do to me?"
"What? Huh?"
Nothing happened for a moment as I lay still, staring at her while she pouted at me.
But when I finally relaxed, I suddenly felt Blake's fingers slowly stroking against my stomach as her other hand pulled up my shirt.
Then when she reached for my trouser button, I hastily grabbed her hand and shifted her to the bottom.
The smell of Blake, the feeling of her so close against me, and the way her fingers traced against my bare skin made me lose it completely.
Relinquishing control of my wolf for a moment, I took the blazer off her and gazed at the sleeveless sheer crop top on her that revealed the shape of her breast and swallowed hard.
Even though I wanted to stop there, I found myself wanting more, and I wriggled my hand into her blouse, brushing against her nipple as I pressed my face against her stomach and inhaled her scent deeply.
The sound of her soft moan made my wolf go wild and I slid my other hand into her pants, making her wail loudly from the movement of my fingers as they caressed between her legs.
"Professor Fang," Blake softly moaned.
Her voice caused me to take back control for a moment, and when I gazed into her wet eyes, I felt guilty and yet tempted.
Heated by Blake's look, my teeth started to shift, and I leaned towards her neck, really to mark her. But realizing that I was acting out of lust and not true emotions, I stabbed my fangs into my palm instead, tasting my blood on my tongue.
“Why did you stop,” Blake whispered in my ear as she embraced me tightly, sniffing my neck deeply.
Her pheromones are becoming too damn strong for me to continue controlling myself in her presence.
At this point, sweat was now dripping down my forehead, and I felt like Blake was emotionally and mentally bending me to her will.
Knowing I couldn't mark or claim an omega that I had no interest in keeping, I felt that it was unfair to Blake to mark her just to reject her in the end.
So I removed from on top of her and hastily rolled off the bed, dropping hard to the floor. Then I jumped to my feet and ran outside, slamming the door shut behind me.
"Professor Fang!" Blake's voice echoed out from the other end of the room.
Listening to her soft cry, I rested my head on the door frame and mumbled, "I'm not your alpha! You are just confused because I was the first thing your wolf saw when it awoke and got in heat!"
As time drifted by, Blake's moaning began to fade until it suddenly got quiet, and when I realized that she had finally calmed down, I slowly turned the knob and opened the door.
After closing the door behind me, I walked over to the bed, gazed at Blake's calm, sleeping face before heading to the couch and taking a seat on it.
It felt like fate was playing some kind of twisted trick on me, making me meet her the moment I arrived in the state, even though it knew why I was here and why I have never claimed anyone as my mate.
A while later, when I finally swayed my gaze towards the wall clock, I realized that I had been sitting in this exact spot for hours, just staring at her.
Then I dragged my gaze on Blake and saw her hands brush against the sheets, and then her lashes repeatedly blinked.
Suddenly, her eyelids rose, and I sluggishly rested back on the couch, feeling relief that she was back to her normal self.
“Where am I?” Blake shakingly mumbled.
The only thought that crossed my mind after hearing those words was that she had a memory loss and didn't recall anything that happened to her after the accident.
Suddenly, Blake gazed my way, and when our eyes met, I was about to speak when she screamed forcing me to clap my hands over my ears.
“Seriously,” I mumbled, scowling at her.
Then I stood from the couch, hardening my face, and walked towards the bed, gazing intensely at her.
“Professor Fang, I...” Blake whispered, barely able to get her words out.
"Do you remember everything that happened today?" I calmly asked, sitting beside her on the mattress.
Darting her eyes away from me, Blake remained silent. But when her cheeks turned red, I already had my answer. Yet, I wanted to hear it from her.
Finally, Blake slightly nodded and mumbled, "All of it."
Both of us didn't utter a word for a while. But after a couple of silent minutes had passed, Blake suddenly looked deep into my eyes and asked, "What do you think happened to me?"
Then she slowly lowered her gaze and mumbled, "Because to be honest, I feel attracted to you in a way that I can't explain."
"Your wolf imprinted on me!" I said, realizing the moment that those words escaped my lips that things were never going to be the same again.
Biting down on her bottom lip, Blake nervously glanced at me. Then she dropped her gaze to the bed and mumbled, "So what are we?"
"Other than our relationship as a student and teacher, we are nothing." I firmly uttered.
Those words were way too harsh, especially after everything that just happened between us. But they were the words she needed to hear to move on because love wasn't something I could offer her or anyone.
Clutching her fist, Blake looked hesitating, and then she softly intoned, "I thought you said,"
"That your wolf imprinted on me?" I asked, frowning slightly. "Blake, I can choose whether to accept you as my soulmate or not and honestly, whatever, you feel for me, I don't feel it for you."
Pressing her lips together, Blake raised her head and fixed her sad eyes on me.
Then she slowly swayed her gaze towards the left and mumbled beneath her breath, "And I'm getting rejected already. Haha, how pathetic can you get, Blake?"
There were a lot of things I was expecting her to say to me, but what she said wasn't what I was expecting to hear and I felt some sense of remorse.
Striving to smooth the tension between us, I sighed softly and said, "It's not about rejecting you. But…"
"I get it! You don't want me! So don't deepen the wound by trying to make me feel better!" Blake whispered, clutching onto her blouse.
"You are still young…"
"I'm nineteen! According to the law, I'm an adult!"
"Do you even know what you want!"
It was no doubt to me that she was now pissed because she threw her hands in the air and shouted, "I don't know! But apparently, my wolf believes it's you because it has me having all these stupid feelings for you!"
"Why do you think your wolf chose me?" I asked, meeting her eyes as I tried to understand what the connection between us was so I could break it.
It grew silent, and only the sound of our breath could be heard as both of us stared deep into each other's eyes.
"I don't know," Blake mumbled.
“Think about it carefully for a moment,” I calmly said, placing my finger under her chin and lifting her head to meet my gaze.
"Why me, Blake?" I whispered,
"Because among them all, you are a lesser douchebag," Blake said as she raised her lashes, gazing into my eyes. "You are the first person to show me some kind of kindness."
Staring into her anxious gaze, I felt a bit nervous, not knowing what to make of what she was feeling or what she said.
Then I withdrew my hand away from her and said, “I'm a teacher, Blake. Being nicer to my students is a part of my job."With a touch of anxiety in Blake's eyes, she shrugged her shoulders and asked, “Okay, so what does that mean?!”
Silent fell between us, and even though I had not uttered a word, her tears had already begun to pour down her face, and her eyes became dull with sadness.
"I'm indifferent to you. I shouldn't feel uninterested when it comes to my mate." I said, standing from the bed. "I don't feel what you feel, Blake. That's what it means."
When I looked into her teary eyes, the first thought that crossed my mind was to clarify why I felt that way, and yet, when I opened my mouth, no words came out because I didn't want to keep her hope up.
"I hate this moment with everything in me!” Blake whispered, her voice thick with anger.
“You should get some rest,” I said, turning away from her. " If you want to freshen up, I have some large shirts in my closet. You can wear any of them."
As I was about to walk away, my wolf instinct kicked in, and I hastily turned around and caught the pillow that she threw at me.
“Why does my wolf have to bound itself to you! I hate your face and you!” Blake screamed, sniffing aggressively as her tears escaped her eyes.
“That's good. Hate me. That's what best for both of us.” I said with a straight face, tossing the pillow back on the bed.
The room fell silent as Blake stared at me. Then when she didn't utter another word, I walked away, and as I was about to close the door, she screamed, "What an ass!"
Something about the way Blake said those words sent a dull throb through my heart as I slammed the door shut and let go of the knob.
'What kind of sick joke is fate playing on both of us!' I thought, gazing at the door before walking away.
*****************Luna POV****************** This mansion has never been so irksome and loud as it is tonight, and it is all because of my bastard sister. Since she decided to run away from school, my father has been acting up and having everyone's heart up in their ass. From the day I could remember, I never liked her. But now, I despise her even more and I don't care if she never returns home. That way, she would be doing all of us a favor. I mean, what's the use of having a useless sister who can't even transform like everyone else, even though her faults do me more good than harm. It grew silent for a moment. Then my father robust tone suddenly
*****************Blake POV****************** When the light of dawn shone on my face, I kept staring at the window, annoyed that it was morning already and I haven't fallen asleep like I wanted to do. Suddenly the echo of a soft knock drew my attention towards the doorway. “Come in,” I mumbled, focusing back on the window. A few seconds later, Nero walked into the room, gazed at me, and said, “Come downstairs to eat. I made breakfast.” After waiting for a few seconds, I threw the bedspread off me and got out of bed. Then I stopped in front
After walking over to the back of the class, I put threw my bag on the desk, sat down, and relaxed in the seat. Suddenly a frown surfaced on my face as I stared at Nero walking into the classroom. At that moment, my gaze rested on Karen as she sat in the seat beside me, and anger spiked inside of me while I clutched my fist. Suddenly, Karen turned around, gazed at me, and cheerfully said, "Good morning, Blake." “Have you lost your sense of shame, talking to me after what you did?” I harshly uttered, glaring at her. A pitiful look settled on Karen's face as she pouted and said, "Someone is moody thi
As I stared at Blake, I could tell that she was holding in her breath and fighting back her tears while she gazed back at me. But I said nothing as I kept gazing at her wet eyes, bruised lip, and bloodstained nose. Even if I wanted to, I didn't know what to say to her at such a moment. So I dragged my gaze off her and coldly uttered, "Blake, I think you and your father have disrupted my class enough, so maybe you should take a seat, or get out!" Feeling her eyes on me, I turned around, and the moment our eyes locked, I paused for a moment and then said, "Did you hear m..." "I did," Blake mumbled beneath her breath with her ga
******************Luna Pov*********** Avoiding the sunlight, I rolled over in bed, and kicked the blanket off me, pissed over the fact that Alaska suddenly ruined breakfast this morning to inform my father that he got news about Blake. Immediately, dad abandoned his food and left the dining hall like that bitch was worth something to him. Since he left the villa with Alaska, we haven't gotten any news yet, and it felt a bit odd since a couple of hours had passed already and he should have been back with his bastard by now. A sudden loud knock on my room door forced me to open my eyes, and I swear whoever was at the door, woke up and chose not to live another day because a second later, I heard, "Bang! Bang!" Enraged, I sat up, resting my back against the headboard as I turned my head to stare at the door. "Who is it?" I shouted, feeling hesitant to leave the bed. "It's me, James. Milady, Our Luna requested your presence in
*********************Blake POV*************Noticing the supermarket from a distance, I busily tapped Nero on his shoulder and shouted, "Can you stop at 'Greenland?!""No!" Nero shouted back, glaring at me for a second as though he was annoyed that I was distracting him from focusing on driving."Please!!""Why?"Saying the reason out loud in my head sounded a bit embarrassing. So I chewed on my bottom lip, darted my eyes away from him, and then mumbled, "Forget it,"Sighing, Nero suddenly made a U-turn and drove into the parking lot of the supermarket.Then he stepped on the brake before looking at me and blurting out, "Are you in need of Sanitary pads or something!?"Even though I wanted to chuckle, I suppressed my laugh and didn't look at him because from his voice I could tell that he was upset with me."No, that is not what I need," I mumbled, screwing my face into a frown. "You k
***************Nero Pov************As I walked past the living room, I screwed my face into a frown when Jason suddenly sped from behind me, crossed in front of me, and stepped in my way."You should go upstairs and freshen up. I will take these to the kitchen! Seriously! What the hell happened last night to get you two acting like mates?" Jason lashed out, frowning as I walked past him with the bags.But he kept walking behind me until we got into the kitchen and stopped in the doorway."Did you mark her?!" Jason blurted out. "Or did you fuc…"Frustrated, I sluggishly dropped the bags on the counter, turned around to stare at my beta, and said, "No, Jason, I didn't mark her, neither did I mate with her. She simply needs a place to stay for two weeks…""Two weeks! You are allowing Hayes's daughter to stay here for two weeks! What is wrong with you!" Jaso
********Blake POV*********When I pushed the guest bedroom door open and walked inside, Nero's eyelids immediately raised and he swayed his gaze to the right, staring at me.As our eyes locked, my lashes fluttered, and I froze, losing touch with reality for a moment.What happened last night was extremely embarrassing now that I'm back to my senses.Knowing that he was on the other side while I moaned that loud made me want to bury my face in a pillow and scream on top of my lungs."What is it?" Nero asked, tossing the sheet off him.Then he got out of bed, and as I watched him walk over to the closet wearing only a boxer my words faded from my lips, and I swallowed hard, unable to draw my gaze away from him.His burly physique left me speechless, and my entire body jerked to a standstill unexpectedly as my heart pounded and my mind went blank."Blake," Nero called out to me, frowning as he looked back at me."Huh!" I su
As I descended the stairs, the smell of fresh coffee greeted me. Jason was in the kitchen, pouring a cup for himself. He looked up as I entered, a warm smile on his face."Morning," he said, his voice gentle. "I made coffee.""Thank you," I replied, taking the cup he offered. The warmth of it seeped into my hands, a small comfort. "I appreciate it."We stood in companionable silence for a moment, sipping our coffee. The morning light filled the kitchen, creating a peaceful atmosphere that contrasted sharply with the frenzy inside me."Blake," Jason began, his voice hesitant. "I know I keep pushing this but you have been restless since yesterday... I can feel it without you telling me... every second, every time you block me out of your head, you can't stop me from feeling what your heart is going through. Are you sure you're okay? I mean, okay?"I met his gaze, the concern in his eyes evident. I wanted to reassure him, to tell him that everything was fine, but I couldn't bring myself
Blake's POVI woke to the pale light of dawn streaming through my curtains, casting a soft glow on my bedroom walls. I stretched, feeling the comfort of my warm bed cocooning me, reluctant to break free from its embrace. As I sat up, a sharp knock echoed through the quiet room, pulling me from my sleepy haze."Blake? Are you awake?" Jason's voice, laced with urgency, came from the other side of the door.I threw back the covers and reached for my robe, slipping it on hurriedly as I padded across the room. My heart pounded a little faster. Why was he here so early? I opened the door to find Jason standing there, his expression a mix of concern and frustration."Jason? What's wrong?" I asked, tightening the belt of my robe.He ran a hand through his disheveled hair, a sign that he'd been restless. "Blake, you've been blocking your mindlink from me. I can't hear your thoughts, and it's driving me insane. I can tell something's troubling you."I hesitated, looking away. "I don't know what
Nero's PovThe terminal's buzz of activity faded as we stepped out into the brisk evening air. My business partners, Victor and Raymond, chatted animatedly beside me, discussing the upcoming meeting at the resort. I nodded along, only half-listening. My mind was elsewhere, stuck on the strange encounter with the boy named Nicholas.We piled into a sleek black SUV waiting at the curb, and I slid into the back seat, the leather cool against my skin. Victor took the front passenger seat, continuing his conversation with Raymond, who was driving. They were both seasoned businessmen, used to these trips and the high-stakes negotiations that accompanied them. I should have been focused, mentally preparing for the discussions ahead, but I couldn't shake the feeling of familiarity that had struck me when Nicholas had looked up at me with those wide eyes.As we drove towards the resort, the cityscape gave way to more serene surroundings. I stared out the window, trying to piece together why
Blake's POVI stepped off the plane, the cool air of the terminal a welcome contrast to the stifling cabin. Nicholas's small hand gripped mine tightly, his eyes wide with excitement and curiosity. We maneuvered through the crowd, making our way to the immigration counters.The lady behind the counter looked up as we approached, her eyes scanning my passport. “Bella Greene?” she called, her voice smooth and practiced. “Yes,” I replied, my heart racing slightly. The name had become second nature, a part of the disguise I had maintained for years.The woman smiled warmly and then glanced down at Nicholas. “And who is this handsome little fellow?”“This is my son, Nicholas,” I said, returning her smile.She leaned forward slightly, her gaze softening. “How old are you, young man?”Nicholas beamed up at her, his pride unmistakable. “I’m eight.”The lady chuckled, handing back our documents. “Well, you have a very charming boy, Bella. Enjoy your stay.”“Thank you,” I said, taking the passp
Every fiber of my being screamed in agony as I reached out through the mindlink, desperately trying to connect with Blake. But she wasn't there. The connection was broken, severed by some unseen force, leaving me stranded in a sea of darkness, alone."Blake?" I whispered, my voice trembling with fear and desperation. But there was no response, only the echoing silence of my own mind.My wolf paced restlessly within me, its primal instincts urging me to break free from the chains that bound me, to unleash its fury upon the world. I fought against it, struggling to maintain control, but the bonds that held me were slipping, fraying with each passing moment."Nero, snap out of it!" Scarlet's voice cut through the haze of my thoughts, her words laced with urgency and concern. "You'll get yourself killed!"But I couldn't heed her warning. All I could think about was Blake. I had to find her, no matter the cost."I have to get to her," I muttered, my voice hoarse with emotion. "I have to fi
Blake POVMy body felt cold as I stood naked in front of Jason, opening the mind link between Nero and me. I felt his pain, and it was time for him to feel mine.Jason's jaws clutched, and I could see that he was fighting to restrain himself, but his wolf had always wanted me. Now that I was standing vulnerably before him, bare, his eyes darkened, his gaze burning with a mixture of desire and conflict. I could sense the tension radiating off him as he struggled to maintain control over his instincts. With the mind link open, Nero's anguish surged through me, his voice echoing in my head, "Blake, the guard took Jason away. What are you going to do with him?""Can't you feel it in my body, Nero... I am breaking our bond." I hissed back, the pain was so intense... I could hardly breathe. I could feel his fear, his anxiety, his fear of coursing through my veins."Jason... You and Jason... Blade, kill me before you do this. Blake..." Nero groaned in my head. "Please, just end me now. Don'
Jason's POVI was startled awake by the sudden commotion, the clanging of metal against metal echoing through the dimly lit cell. The guards burst in, their faces hidden behind stern masks, their intentions unclear. My heart pounded in my chest as they approached, their eyes cold and unyielding."What's going on?" Scarlett's voice trembled beside me, her hand reaching out in confusion. "Where are you taking him? Where's Blake?"Nero's voice joined hers, his tone sharp with concern. "Answer us! Where are you taking Jason?"But the guards remained silent, their grip firm as they yanked me off the chains that bound me. I stumbled, my legs weak from hours of confinement. Fear gnawed at my insides as I was forced out of the dungeon, the darkness of the cell giving way to the flickering torchlight of the corridor."Please," I pleaded, my voice hoarse. "Tell me what's happening. Where are you taking me?"But my words fell on deaf ears as the guards dragged me further away from Scarlett and N
As my grandfather's question hung in the air, I couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt creeping into my mind. What proof did Scarlett have? Could I trust her account of that fateful night? After all, my entire worldview had been shattered once already today."I... I don't know, Grandpa," I confessed, my voice barely above a whisper. "But something just feels off about all of this. I can't explain it, but I can't shake the feeling that there's more to the story than what we've been told."My grandfather nodded solemnly, his expression mirroring my uncertainty. "Trust your instincts, Blake. They will guide our family for generations after I am gone. So remember, as the next leader of our pack, you cannot afford to trust easily. There are those who would seek to deceive and manipulate you for their own gain."His words struck a chord within me. Was I truly ready to take on the responsibility of leading our pack, especially in the midst of such turmoil and uncertainty? Did I even want th
I stormed through the dimly lit corridors of the mansion, my mind a tumultuous storm of conflicting emotions. Each step I took echoed through the empty halls, a stark contrast to the chaos raging inside me. As I reached Loki's cell, I could hear the faint sound of chains rattling, and I scowled.Pushing open the heavy door, I was met with the sight of Loki, chained up in the corner of the room, bruises marring his once proud features. His eyes widened in fear and desperation as he caught sight of me, and he lunged forward, only to be yanked back by the chains that bound him."Blake, please, spare me," he pleaded, his voice raw with desperation. "I... I'm your father. I didn't mean for any of this to happen.""Okay," I said blankly. I didn't feel like hearing his pathetic apology. After everything that had been done to me over the years... what right did I have to pity him or offer even a tiny shred of care to anyone? Even to myself. And certainly not to him. Not after everything. Lok
