Chapter Twenty-five Thalina I matched to the long table like a royal, I took my seat, my eyes scanning through the luxurious dishes beautifully laid out in front of me. It was like those kind of presentations made by professional chefs that you only see in TV shows. Every dish on the plate looked too beautiful to eat, but I wasn’t going to waste this opportunity. What if it was going to be just this once? I took my chance. I started slowly, savoring each bite, making sure I tasted every dish, from the savory meats, the sea foods, to the delicate pastries. The flavors were incredible and juicy, so rich and indulgent. I had never tasted anything like that. I continued until I was completely full and no longer had space for any other food, feeling like I had experienced a small piece of heaven. The flavors were incredible—juicy, rich, indulgent. Each bite was like something out of a dream. I had never tasted anything so decadent in my life. By the time I finis
Chapter One Thalina “Don’t forget everything I told you, and make sure you send back reports of your progress every week,” Father said. I nodded at him and looked out of the window. I could already see the school, and my reality became clearer than before. I was being sent on a mission for my pack—a mission that could either take my life or the life of the most powerful person in the kingdom, the Alpha King. He was the ruler of all ten packs, and our pack was one of them. “He has been traumatizing us for years; we need to put an end to it.” Ever since Father told me about this mission, I had been wondering why I was chosen for such a significant task. I always knew Father didn’t care much about me, and he always blamed me for Mother’s death, but I couldn’t understand why he had to send me on this dangerous journey, especially when I just experienced the biggest heartbreak of my life. “Ember and Fenris will be getting mated soon,” Father said, and I immediat
Chapter Two Thalina When I got close to him, the first thing I noticed was how tall he stood—well over six feet, towering above me and making me feel so small beside him. His presence was so overwhelming and commanding, I could tell he was pthe kind of man who commanded a room without saying a word. I couldn't take my eyes off his face. He was clearly older, maybe a decade or two my senior, but that only made him more attractive. God! How could he be so hot? Everything about him from his head, down to his cock was one to die for. The lines around his eyes, the touch of gray at his temples, and the soft groan that escaped his lips—all of it screamed experience. The kind of experience someone like me—innocent and untouched—needed. I knew this was wrong. He was a stranger, I just met him. Above all, he was a professor, someone I shouldn’t even be thinking about in this way. But the magnetic pull I felt towards him was irresistible, stronger than anything I had ever felt. It
Chapter Three Thalina “I want to fuck this these tits…” He stopped and squeezed my boobs, his fingers roughly pinching my nipples through the thin fabric of my shirt. A low, guttural growl escaped his lips as he tugged on the sensitive peaks, making my body arch into him. God! No man has ever touched me this way. He knew just where and how to touch me. "These perfect tits," he murmured, his breath hot against my skin as he lowered his head, brushing his lips over the fabric. "I’m going to devour them." His growl was followed by a sharp snap of his teeth, sending shivers through me, my whole body trembling with pleasure. In one swift motion, he ripped open my shirt, buttons flying across the room, creating sounds that only added to sparks flying around. His hands moved to cup my bare boobs, squeezing them firmly as his mouth latched onto one of my nipples, sucking hard while his other hand teased the opposite one, rolling it between his fingers. Fucking hell… This was it?
Chapter Four Thalina His words sent a shiver down my spine, and before I could respond, he dropped to his knees, setting my legs on his shoulders, his eyes locking onto mine with a hunger that made my heart race violently. A hunger I had never seen on anyone’s face—a hunger that made me quiver with longing, sending heat rushing through my core. His hands gripped my thighs, spreading them wide and resting them on his shoulders. God! He was so perfect. He was a professor, and this could put us in difficult situations afterward. I could be ruined if anyone found out that I did this on my first day here. But fuck that! I didn’t care. I wanted him more than I cared about the consequences. He buried his head between my legs, the heat of his mouth sending waves of electricity through me. I quivered, more wetness dripping down my thighs, and he chuckled. "Already so wet for me," he growled against my skin, the vibration of his voice causing my back to arch, pressing harder again
Chapter Five Talon Maverick Working undercover at a college with my kind of status could be tiring, boring, and sometimes overwhelming, but a few pussies here and there were all I needed to get back into the rhythm. And these women… they were always willing to give in to me. Who would taste my cock and not want to have it again? Absolutely no one. Jayden, my beta, and my right-hand man always did an excellent job finding ladies who knew exactly how to please me with every part of their body. But today’s selection was quite exceptional, I must say. She was perfect. She was everything I had been looking for. When I first saw her, I thought she looked too small, too innocent for what I had in mind. I don’t go easy on women I fuck... No. I was going to pay them for it, so why not take what I wanted, as hard as I wanted it? I thought she was too small for that. But she surprised me, taking more than I ever expected. The way her tongue wrapped arou
Chapter Six Talon Maverick She bowed gently, and moved to the only open chair, near the front. Of course. Of all the places to sit, it had to be where I'd see her every time I looked up. Where I couldn't avoid her. My chest tightened as she took her seat, flipping open her notebook like she had been here all along. I noticed how her lips parted slightly, as though she wanted to say something but didn't. Her presence was a reminder of the moments I let go, of the moment I lost my discipline. I just hoped I was seeing wrong. There was no way I buried my head between the legs of someone who was supposed to be my student? A lower ranked wolf. This wasn’t just going against the soothsayer’s instruction, but also against my rules. I had sworn not to ever get involved with any student, or anyone who could be lower ranked. But no matter how hard I tried to convince myself that I had made a mistake, I couldn’t deny the tingling of my breath and the sparkles that flies throu
Chapter Seven Talon Maverick “What the hell are you talking about?” I growled, fighting the urge to grab her and take what I wanted, what I knew she wanted, too. She chuckled, stepping closer, her hand slowly moving to the fabric of her clothes. My mind flashed to the last time, when I ripped the buttons from her shirt, unable to stop myself from feeling every inch of her skin. Now, she wore a sweater vest over that same shirt, and I knew if she took it off, if I saw those bouncy boobs again, there’d be no stopping me. I’d lose control all over again. I’d take her right there with the same force she was teasing me. I turned away, clenching my fists. “Stop!” I shouted, my voice cracking under the weight of both anger and the lust I was trying so hard to suppress. “What do you think you’re doing?” I growled, forcing myself to sound harsh, to remind myself this shouldn’t be happening again. The soothsayer had warned me about temptations on this mission, but no one had prepar

Chapter Twenty-four Thalina I swirled around in the bed; it felt so relaxing and calm, like a fish that had been confined in a small tank finally being released into the ocean. The coolness was a stark contrast to the soreness that radiated from my legs every few minutes. My eyes flickered open, one after the other. I’d been awake for a while, but I couldn’t bring myself to leave the bed—it felt like a comfort zone I didn’t want to abandon. When was the last time I had slept this well? Maybe before my mother’s death. Everything turned sour after my stepmother and stepsister moved in. I was forced into a smaller room with a bed I could barely fit in, while Ember took my old room. Father never complained. He said I was older and had to sacrifice for my sister. Well, I had sacrificed nearly everything—my room, my clothes, my happiness, my comfort, and even that bastard I once called my mate. Lying here now, it felt like all those worries and problems had been lifted, even if
Chapter Twenty-three Talon Maverick My heart pounded wildly in my chest, each of my breaths coming in ragged gasps as I ran. Sweat dripped down my skin, cold against the heat burning inside me, my legs carrying me as fast as they could, but not as fast as I needed them to be. And no matter how hard I pushed, no matter how fast I moved, I couldn’t escape the darkness chasing me. It swirled around me, suffocating, heavy, aiming to consume me whole. And it was her. The darkness was her. She was faceless, but has an aura that makes my heart leap into my throat. Sometimes it was in the forest, sometimes it was in an unknown place, being chased by a faceless woman with different kinds of weapons. This time, it was inside the same castle I believed I had power and control over, the usual faceless beast chasing me with a knife that has a sharpened edge that glowed under the lights. I ran through the corner and corridors of the castle, hoping to find a way out soon, but as I ran tow
Chapter Twenty-two Talon Maverick “Watch and learn.” I managed to say, before my eyes flickered close. But instead of the usual rush of pleasure and the floating waves of excitement that coursed through my body whenever I have my cock in the mouth of these whores, all I could see was Thalina, and all I could feel was her presence. It was like she was there with me. I opened my eyes again, only to see the courtesans in front of me, one moving her hand through my chest and trailing invisible lines through my body, while the other kept moving her head, popping and pushing my cock in and out of her mouth with so much strength and vigor, yet, I couldn’t feel a thing. I closed my eyes again and all I saw was her—Thalina. That day in my office came rushing back, vivid and intense, replaying again, like she was right here with me, like it was happening once again. Even though these women were still on their knees, doing exactly what I’d ordered, all I could think about was her. W
Chapter Twenty-one Talon Maverick It just couldn’t be! There must be something this damn soothsayer wasn’t doing right. I felt the rage swell inside me, burning like wildfire. Before I could stop myself, I surged forward, gripping the old man by his neck and slamming him against the wall. "You think I gave you all this royal treatment, all this time, just for you to tell me there's no way out?" My voice came out in a low, dangerous growl. I could feel my wolf stir, the darkness of the curse feeding into my anger. "Do you expect me to live like this forever? Do you expect me to rule this kingdom cursed, without a Luna, without an heir?" The soothsayer gasped, his eyes wide with fear, clawing at my hand as I held him in place. He was frail, weaker than I realized, and that weakness only fueled my frustration. He should have been smarter, stronger—he should have had the answer I needed. “Please, my lord,” he croaked. “I… I will find a way. I just need more time!” I released
Chapter Twenty Talon Maverick “Arguing with your wolf again?” The familiar voice that always managed to calm my nerves echoed in my ears. I turned just in time for her to crash into me. “Brother!” Vaelora Maed Ashford, my seventeen-year-old younger sister. When I was younger, I used to wonder why the age gap between us was so wide. Mother would always say Vael was conceived when they hadn’t planned for another child. At first, I thought she was too much to handle, but now she was my solace. I had no worries whenever she was around. “I missed you, brother. Why won’t you let me into your estate?” she whined, adjusting her arms around my neck. “I was away from the castle on business, and it could’ve been dangerous. I didn’t want to put anyone in danger…” “What could be dangerous?” Mother joined us, her voice laced with suspicion. “Are you hiding something from us?” I set Vael down and moved to Mother’s side. “Of course not. I have nothing to hide from you,” I replied with
Chapter Nineteen Talon Maverick One more thing, Thalina was the first woman I’d fuck without imagining it was Seraphina I was fucking. To me, Thalina was just Thalina, nothing more, and it was the first. All my life, I had been stuck with Seraphina. Maybe, just maybe I could push her to my past by using Thalina. I got to my room and took a quick bath, dressing in a sharp black suit, I took one last look in the mirror. The image reflected back at me was one of power, authority, and control—exactly how I liked it. But no matter how much I tried to focus on the day ahead, Thalina’s face, her body, and the way she moaned for me crept into my mind. “Get it together, Talon!” I told myself. I wasn’t supposed to fuck her again, yet here I was, obsessed with her after only one day together. As I headed downstairs, I stopped the head maid. “Make sure Thalina’s comfortable when she wakes up,” I instructed her. “She’s going to be coming more often. You know what to do.” Normally
Chapter Eighteen Talon Maverick The best part of every sexual encounter I’ve had was watching women struggle to walk afterward. It was the usual outcome—no woman could walk after I was done with her. I don’t go easy on them, that’s not who I am. I take them with the force I want, watching their legs wobble as they struggle to move, and savoring every moment. I didn’t care if they fell or crawled—it was none of my business. But I couldn’t let the same thing happen with Thalina. I tried to look away, to distract myself with other thoughts so I wouldn’t break another one of my rules, but I did anyway. I rushed to her, holding her up before she could fall. Looking at her so closely now, she was stunning. God, it wasn’t just her body—it was her face. She was a beauty to behold. I could swear she was the most beautiful woman I had seen if I never saw Seraphina. I brushed the thoughts off and carried her to the bathroom, watching how her body lay limp in my arms, completely spe
Chapter Seventeen Thalina Professor Maverick’s hands slid over my wrists as he gently released the cuffs that held me in place. My body was still trembling from the intensity of our last round, but his gaze told me he was far from being done with me, and my trembling body still wanted more of him. "Get on the bed," he commanded, his voice as steady and dominant as ever, though now laced with a quiet intensity that sent shivers down my spine. I did as he said, moving slowly, my legs still shaking from the effect of his hard thrusts. The soft mattress beneath me felt like a safe haven for a moment as I laid on the bed, but I knew it wouldn’t last. Professor Maverick wasn’t the kind of man to let me rest easily, especially not when we were in this room where held so much power and control over me. He gets to decide what will happen, and what he will do to me, which makes it more fun and exciting. I could only imagine what he was going to do next, but I couldn’t really
