Thalina

He moved closer, his eyes getting softer, more calm than they had ever been. The tension that had been burning between us seemed to melt into something deeper, something more intimate, something irresistible. He studied me for some minutes, his gaze piercing into mine but tender, making me feel exposed in ways I’d never been before.

"Why?" he asked in a very low and gentle voice. "Men must have thrown themselves at you. I’m sure of that.”

I swallowed the lump in my throat, shaking my head gently. "I didn’t want them," I replied, my voice shaky.

He tilted his head slightly, curiosity glinting in his eyes. "What have you been doing all these years, then?" He raised my head with a finger under my jaw, and when our eyes met, a gentle smile curled up his lips. He traced the contours of my face with his fingers, my legs shaking under his touch. “You’re too hot… too naughty to be a virgin. What have you been doing?”

I hesitated for a bit, my breaths hot a

  • On Her Professor’s Bed: Alpha’s Plaything   The Coronation Ceremony 1

    Chapter Eighty-three Thalina The morning sunlight filtered softly through the high glass panes, kissing the silk drapes with a golden hue. The chamber was warm, filled with the quiet hum of women preparing me for the day I’d waited my whole life for—even if I didn’t know it until I met him. My skin still tingled from last night. God. I closed my eyes as a gentle hand brushed a perfumed oil across my shoulder, and all I could feel was him. Talon. The way his body moved over mine, how he looked at me like I held every star in the sky. I had never known love like that—fierce and slow, burning and careful. I had never known a man who touched me like I was something divine. And now, just minutes later, I was about to be crowned Luna of the pack. The Luna of the entire kingdom. “Still dreaming about last night, aren’t you?” a voice teased with knowing laughter. I opened my eyes and met the amused smile of Vaelora. She was seated on the velvet bench behind me, her long sil

    Chapter Eighty-two Thalina The door clicked shut behind us, and for a moment, I just stood still—barely breathing. My heart pounded so loud I was sure he could hear it. My body was already aware, already aching. I hadn’t even looked at him, but I could feel his gaze all over me—possessive, tender, hungry. Then I turned. And I saw it. The chamber. Our room. Soft golden light glowed from sconces mounted on the stone walls, their flames dancing gently. The bed—large, luxurious, and wrapped in deep crimson sheets—sat at the end of a long path… a path lined with rose petals. Deep red, velvety petals scattered deliberately from the door to the bed, weaving a trail of devotion and desire. Around the corners of the chamber, scented candles burned slowly, their faint lavender and sandalwood aroma curling in the air like whispered promises. It was breathtaking. All of it. Not just because of the roses or the candles or the sheets, but because he had done this. For me. For us. A tremb

    Chapter Eighty-one Talon Maverick The maid stepped forward with practiced ease, cradling the wine bottle like it was something sacred. She untwisted the cage and gave the cork a subtle tug. A soft hiss slipped out first, like the bottle was sighing. Then came the pop!—sharp, clean, and just loud enough to draw a few glances. The sound echoed lightly through my chamber, a clear sign that the night had started. A wide grin settled on my face as I took the bottle from her and gestured for her to step back. She obeyed without hesitation, moving away quietly. “Let me do the honor of pouring you a drink, Father-in-law,” I said to Thalina’s father. I didn’t know why it felt this good—why sitting across from him in this moment felt so surreal, like something out of a dream. The truth was, I never saw this coming. None of it. For most of my life, I never thought about a mating ceremony. I never imagined sharing a drink with a father-in-law. There were so many things I never all

  • On Her Professor’s Bed: Alpha’s Plaything   The Mating Ceremony 2

    Chapter Eighty Thalina I knew this was a bad idea. Bringing this man here—my father—was a terrible decision I might end up regretting. He wasn’t the type to sit back quietly. He had his plans, always did, and he was going to carry them out no matter what. He wasn’t to be trusted. Not now. Not ever. But I felt cornered. I couldn’t stop it without revealing the real reason I didn’t want him here. And I had already said it—if I was going to tell Talon the truth, about why I came to this school in the first place, I wanted to be the one to tell him. Not let him find out on his own. And definitely not like this. Not with my father making another attempt to hurt him. And now Talon wanted to share a drink with him? It looked noble. Heartwarming, even—to everyone else. But not to me. I knew who my father was. I knew the kind of darkness that lived inside him, the evil that simmered just beneath the surface of that wide, charming grin. A man like him—so consumed by hunger for power that he

    Chapter Seventy-nine Talon Maverick They fastened the last clasp on my ceremonial tunic, a dark obsidian laced with silver embroidery, a garment only worn once in a lifetime. Sometimes that might change, it could be worn more than once, but that was for Alphas who wanted more than one Luna, but for me, this would be the last time. I was only going to wear it for this moment. For the mating bond that would bind my soul to hers. Thalina. It was either her or no one else. She was mine, she had been mine even before now, this was just a formality, a way to show everyone here that she belongs to me. Thalina. She was going to be my Luna today. Her name echoed in my chest like thunder—loud, unstoppable—striking down every last defense I’d once built around my heart. Every barrier I had carefully erected to shield myself from love crumbled. I used to believe love was weakness. That it was for the helpless, for the fragile, for those who didn’t carry the weight of kingdoms on their sh

    Chapter Seventy-eight Thalina My heart was still pounding hard against my chest as Vaelora gently led me out of the room, away from Talon’s touch and the burning intensity of everything that had just happened. I couldn’t stop looking over my shoulder, couldn’t stop clinging to the warmth of his words, the promise in his eyes. He heard everything. He saw my tears. And still—he chose me. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to laugh or cry harder. Vaelora squeezed my hand as we moved through the winding halls of the castle, her pace graceful, her expression kind and warm. “You’re safe now,” she said softly, as if she could hear the storm of fear and confusion roaring in my chest, as if she could see the uncertainty written boldly on my face. “You don’t have to be afraid here. We all here for you.” She smiled, a reassuring smile. But that was the problem—I was afraid. Terrified. I feared the consequences of this union. The words of the elders and the soothsayer wouldn’t stop ringing loud in my
