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 immediately turned to him, my eyes wide. “Wh…what?” I stuttered. Ember was my stepsister, and Fenris was my mate. I had caught them cheating just a few days ago, and the pain was still lingering in my heart. I had tried every possible way to get those hurtful thoughts and that agonizing scene out of my head, but nothing was working. The only good thing about this mission was being away from Ember and Fenris, because just seeing them takes me back to the moment I walked in with excitement and joy to surprise him for the new job he got, only to be welcomed by sounds of moans and cries of ecstasy that tilted my world on its axis, leaving me breathless and confused. I had the widest smile on my face and my heart wouldn’t stop thumping with excitement. I had planned to finally have that first sex with him, one I had been looking forward to. I had watched so many videos just to learn how to do it the perfect way. I was waiting for the right time—waiting until I turned twenty-one—but soon realized I couldn’t wait any longer. I loved him so much that just the thought of waiting more months without being touched by him made my whole body heat up. I wanted him so badly, and that day felt perfect. I shook my head and sniffled, fighting back my tears as his cold words after I caught him rang in my ears again. He had said, “I Fenris Knight, reject you, Thalina Noir as my name,” and immediately, he turned to Ember and accepted her as his mate. Right there in my presence. Those words echoed in my ears again, and my lips shook. “Not again,” I murmured under my breath. I had spent the next few days crying and wishing everything I saw and heard wasn’t true, just as I desperately wished it wasn’t true when I walked in on them. The sight still makes my heart twitch with pain: how he was slamming into her and the cry of her body being filled with pleasure. How he was giving her every single thing I had imagined receiving from him. The way he groaned loudly and called her sweet names, ones he never called me. I was fucking stupid! I was stupid to have thought the small things he did were love. He did the bare minimum, and I assumed he loved me just as much as I did. But the fucking dunce was just playing games with me. How stupid of me not to have noticed! But I was sure I felt that spark, that tumbling and swirling of my wolf inside of me. I was convinced he was my mate. “They will be getting mated,” Father repeated, his voice harder and more serious than before. “You made a scene back there, and the entire pack now knows what happened. It is only right that we get them mated to protect the family’s dignity.” “Dignity?” I scoffed. Why was I the one being fed stories about family dignity? Wasn’t Ember thinking about the same dignity when she slept with my mate? And Fenris, the fucking dog who wouldn’t keep his cock in his pants and had to get down with my stepsister—I wish him hell! “You could have come to me to tell me what you saw instead of creating a scene,” he continued. “Ember and Fenris want to be together; it doesn’t ma—” “Father!” I chimed in. “Fenris is my mate. He loved me, he—” “He wouldn’t have done what he did with Ember if he truly loved you.” He shrugged. He was right about that. I needed someone to say that to me, someone to talk some sense into my head before it sinks in that Fenris never loved me. It was all a facade. “You will be sent the notice a few days before the mating ceremony. It wouldn’t be right for you not to attend,” he said, readjusting in his seat. “We are here,” he added. I looked up to see that we were right in front of the school, and my eyes fell back on him. He had that blank look on his face as usual, the one he always has when he’s with me. It was always different with Ember—smiles and laughter. I looked back at the school, and my heart sank. A mixture of fear and uncertainty gripped me, and I spent minutes wondering if Father was doing this for the pack or to take me out of the family. No one has ever seen the Alpha King; no one knew how he looked like. Yet, I was sent to kill him. That didn’t make sense to me at all, but I was a girl who lost the right to live for herself and make decisions when I lost my mom. Father doesn’t care about my well-being and safety; the only thing he was bothered about was getting the position he had been promised if I succeeded in killing the Alpha King as I was sent to do. “You are here now; do not get distracted and forget your mission,” he turned to me. “I am going to be the pack minister if you succeed in this mission. I am going to be wealthy. You can’t afford to fail.” I wasn’t sure if that was a threat or encouragement, but I just nodded at him. It was the only thing I could do. I pushed the door open and was about to leave when he grabbed my hand and pulled me back. I was expecting him to say something nice and wish for my safety, but he cleared his throat and said, “You must attend Ember and Fenris’s mating ceremony when it’s time. Those two are in love.” I didn’t say a word. I pulled his hand away and got out. My bag had already been dropped by the driver. I grabbed it and headed for the school gate, with Father’s words ringing in my head. Thinking about it, they had many reasons for sending me on this mission where they knew it was eighty percent guaranteed that I wouldn’t return. If I were back at home, I wouldn’t let the mating ceremony happen. Ember and Fenris couldn’t live happily after they broke me like this. They couldn’t be together after they made a joke out of me. Silly me! I was so excited to spend my first night with him. I was happy and just couldn’t contain it. I had been looking forward to the day, but I wished I had never looked forward to it. If only I had known I would be welcomed with the most heartbreaking and painful scene of my life. Those scenes just wouldn’t leave my head; they wouldn’t fade away. How could he do that to me? “You have to drop your bags here, miss. They’ll be taken to your apartment later,” the man at the gate said to me, and I complied without saying a word. The only thing in my head was that scene of Fenris pounding into Ember with her moans filling my ears. “Scan that code and d******d the school app; it will help you through your stay here.” I scanned the code and downloaded the app as he had said. My mission was to find the Alpha King and kill him, but I was being sent to a school instead. I was also confused by this until it was explained that I could only enter the royal castle through this school. Every month, the top students in the class would take an excursion to the palace, and I would find the Alpha and kill him. Simple as ABC—those were Father’s words after he explained. “Take this,” the man handed a note over to me. “I hope you have your admission form with you?” I nodded in response. “Great! Find his office on the map and get him to sign the last part. You can only be qualified as a student when it is signed,” he added and looked up at me with a smile. “Welcome to Wolfhaven College.” I flashed a smile at him, which faded the moment I stepped into the school. Following the map to the office I was directed to, I remembered planning to do a lot of things with Fenris—how I thought I would go to college with him and we would live our best lives. I thought he was as excited as I was, but he never really cared about me; he never loved me. Every single thing he showed me was just a facade, a game he played on me with Ember. He could have been real with me. He could have just told me he never liked me and not made me believe he did and look forward to spending that night with him. He could have told me the truth and not let me walk in on him like that. Would it have hurt less if he had told me? I wasn’t sure it would, but at least I would be free from the sounds that continued to haunt me—the loud moans and cries that kept ringing in my head. I finally reached the door of the office and knocked, but received no response. After standing there for several minutes without getting any reply, I tried to see if the door was unlocked, and it opened. I took a step in, stopped, and looked around, but I still couldn’t find anyone. I wanted to go back, but what the man at the gate said made me stop; I needed to sign the form before I could be considered a student. I took more steps further and halted at the sound of familiar, heartbreaking yet soothing sounds. I shook my head, thinking it was the constant sounds that had haunted me ever since I walked in on those two buffoons. But I was wrong, completely wrong when I saw him. He stood tall, his broad shoulders framed by a white shirt that was untucked and rumpled. His trousers were dropped almost down to his knees. His round and perfectly structured ass made me drool. I never thought a man’s ass could be so sexy. His back was turned to me, and he had one hand gripping the edge of the table for support, while his other hand stroked his cock. I could tell that just from the movement of his hand and the way his head swung back every few seconds, also the raw, guttural moans and groans escaping his lips. “Yes! Fuck!” he groaned, sending shivers of pleasure up my spine, a thrilling mix of anticipation and desire coursing through me. I felt my stomach tightening into knots. Oh! God, I had waited for days to have this moment with Fenris, to share this moment with him, to hear him moan and groan like this. “Oh! Fuck it!” His gentle moans echoed through the air. I instantly became breathless and aroused. The tightening in my stomach seemed to loosen, sending my pussy dripping with so much fluid that I struggled to pull my legs together, causing me to stumble over the table beside me. “Who the hell is that!” His commanding baritone voice filled every corner of the room. My spine tingled with fear, but it was instantly replaced with thrill and excitement when he turned and my eyes fell on his over eight inches long cock. My heart skip with delight and my stomach knotted in a burst of ecstasy, my legs became wobbly and shaky just with the thought of having that hard veiny cock deep inside of me. Fucking hell! I was dripping and fucking wet just by staring at him. This was what I wanted from Fenris but he had to choose Ember over me. “Why are you late? And are you just going to stand there?” He grunted in frustration, his hand still moving through the length of his cock, stroking it hard and fast like he was going to cum soon. His shoulder length dirty blonde hair was in waves, which was now messy from swinging his head back and forth while fisting himself. The scent of his strong cologne gripped me, sending more waves of wetness dripping down my opening and making all my reluctance and confusion vanish. He was a stranger and a professor in this new school, but I couldn’t help it, not with his hard and enormous cock that I just couldn’t take my eyes off. Fuck it! I wanted that in my mouth. I shuddered at the overwhelming pleasure that completely engulfed my body. I was confused about what he was saying, and wanted to speak, but I couldn’t. “Get on your knees and do your fucking job!” He growled. “Your lips are so sexy… I want to fuck it very hard!” I quivered. Was he really serious right now? Does he really want to do that to me because I was so fucking down for it. “I hate to repeat myself, baby-girl. Get… on… your fucking knees!” The dominance and authority in his words guided me to him, leaving me with no protest or reluctance. I thought it would take me forever to get over Fenris, I wasn’t able to do with the thoughts of him for days, but at this point, all I could think of was getting filled up by his glistening cock.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 Eight Talon Maverick "Take her! Right here!" my always-horny wolf howled. This was the only time it was super active after the curse. I shook my head, trying to block out the thoughts, but the demands of my body were louder, more insistent. This girl... this infuriating, desperate, hungry little girl had no idea what she was doing to me, and what she was getting herself into. She didn't understand what kind of fire she was playing with. She doesn’t know me. She doesn’t know what I was capable of. I wasn’t some boy to toy with, some harmless fling she could tease and manipulate. I was dangerous. And if she pushed me too far, I could break her in ways she’d never recover from. “Maybe I want to be ruined by you.” She continued, her hand now swaying down to my groin. The restraint I had been holding onto snapped. In a swift motion, I spun her around, pinning her against the wall. My body pressed against hers, my hand bracing the wall beside her hea
Chapter Nine Talon Maverick "I can’t keep my hands off you, your body is my party," I hummed to the solemn song playing in the background. But honestly, that wasn't right. It should be, I can’t keep you off my mind, your body is all I think of. Because ever since that encounter with Thalina, she’s been haunting my every thought. How could I forget the way she sucked my cock like it was the last thing she'd ever do? The way she drained me, taking every drop of my cum like it was hers to claim. Even now, with all the distractions around me—naked ladies swaying to the rhythm of the music I was playing, hired to help me clear my mind, courtesy of Jayden—all I could think of was her. It was like these ladies weren’t even there. Every curve, every movement they made only made me think of Thalina more, because deep down, I didn’t want them. I wanted her. I wanted her dancing in front of me, teasing me, waiting for me to take her like only I could. I clenched my jaw, frustrated t
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 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
