Rain’s POV.
“Hmmm…” I whimper as toss around the bed. A blissful sigh leaves my lips.
I feel so good in the right places, like my nipples and my cunt.
What the hell happened? I've never felt like this before.
Scratching my closed eyes, I slowly open them to take in my surroundings.
“What the hell!?” I yelp, propping up on the bed. How did I end up here? I ask myself, darting my eyes around the room.
My blinds are closed but because it’s transparent the sun beam shines in my small bedroom.
What the heck? How come I ended up in my bedroom?
I wrack my mind rapidly and I remember what occurred at school with Killan and Nadia.
I went to the bar and I had lots of shots. I remember being with the stranger in the alley.
Aside from these, I don’t remember much again.
So? Who brought me home?
“Grrr!” I groan when I feel the banging headache. Fuck, I’m having a hangover.
As I’m about to recline back on the bed, my personal servant calls out. Nadia and I have different people serving us.
Being the preferred daughter, she has hordes of me serving her but I only have one.
I still don’t understand why my father hates me so much he prefers Nadia.
“Rain! You’re already late for school!”
Oh, crap! I have three-morning classes. How the hell am I going to cope with this shitty hangover?
I leave the bed with hiss, heading to the bathroom but Mrs. Sinai pops her head into my room.
“You sure wanna go to school today?” She asks, looking at me through her big eyeglasses.
“Yes, Mrs. Sinai. I just overslept!” I smile to cover up my lies. I don’t want anyone finding out I went to the bar much less having a stranger between my legs. My father will kill me if he finds out. I venture swiftly into the bathroom.
Once I shut the door, I sigh. Mrs. Sinai didn’t act like she knew what happened last night because she and her husband are the only ones that stay here with me on the south wing of this huge manor house.
Does that mean she doesn’t know?
Fuck, I have to find out! I conclude with my brows furrowed. I quickly brush up and take my bath.
Twenty minutes later, I’m down in the dining room. Mrs. Sinai’s husband, Durand is already devouring his food while sitting on the head seat.
“Hey,!” I greet, lowering my school bag to the seat across from his.
“How are you, Rain?” He asks, watching me as I join his wife in the kitchen whipping myself a cup of coffee.
I need this coffee to help stop this bad hangover.
“I’m pretty good, Mr. Durand..” I say, perching on the sink as I look at them.
“You ain’t gonna eat the sandwiches?” Asks Mrs. Sinai and I shake my head.
“I need something light,” I tell her, joining her husband back in the dining.
“How was the school dance? Did you enjoy it? Killan came over last night with Nadia looking for you.”
What? How dare they come to my quarters after what they did to me?
“Uh…it was…good.” I let out slowly. Then. “Why did they come?” I cock my brow at her.
“They didn’t say anything to me. I guess your father wanted to see you.
I swallow the bile rising in my throat at the thought of what they told my father for him to request my presence. Dread crawls through me as I squeeze my cup of coffee hard.
“That reminds me, where were you last night? We didn’t even know when you came in.”
Oh, my God. I wobble inwardly at
So, they don’t even know when and how I came in?
If they were here when Killan and Nadia came looking for me that means they were already back from vineyards.
So, how in hell did I end up in my room? Strange gooseflesh fills my body. However, I give them both a cheeky smile.
“I was with Kylie last night. I only came back later in the night.”
They both nod and silence clouds us until a knock sounds on the front door.
“I’ll get that. I’m sure it must be Kylie.”
I rush to my feet quickly and hurry over to the front door. However, I guessed wrong because standing in front of the door was none other than Nadia.
She walks in with a smug look on her face. Behind her are her guards in dark suits.
She ignores my servant's greetings and daggers me with glares.
“Where were you last night?” She cock a harsh brow at me, commanding me to speak.
“Do I owe you an answer to that?” I crease my brows too, wanting to show her I’m not afraid.
She’s nothing but a slut, stealing people’s boyfriends. I just have this strong urge to rip her throat out.
“Don’t forget, you’re below me, Rain. And I’ll always put you in your place.”
“That’s the least you can do, isn’t it?” I bark, breathing heavily.
She snorts, squaring her shoulders over her crossed hands.
“I can do more, Rain. Just watch me ruin your life completely! Killan was so much fun you know. And guess what? Our father has reached an agreement with his parents to betroth us to each other.”
My heart singes with pain at what she just revealed. Now I know what my father was looking for me.
He only wanted to inform me about Nadia’s betrothal to Killan.
Tears burn at the back of my eyes but I rein it in. I can’t cry over this. No.
“Very well then. Congratulations. Now, get out of my way.” I bark in anger.
Trying to shoulder past her, Nadia grabs my arm, pulling me back.
“Don’t walk out on me you bitch!”
“Let go of me!” I cry out, trying to push her away which is impossible given she’s stronger than me.
The guards do nothing only throwing their faces away but luckily for me, Kylie comes out, pushing Nadia away from me.
“Stop it!” She barks at Nadia, daring her to move forward.
Of course, Nadia knows her strength doesn’t match Kylie’s. My best friend is well-trained in combat.
Nadia snorts under her breath and walks away.
Turning to me, Kylie shoots forward. “Are you okay?” She asks, holding me. Her face creases with worry but I nod even though I don’t feel okay.
Kylie and I squeeze into her SUV and drive off while she begins ranting about the escapade last night when she notices I don’t want to talk about what went on between Nadia and me.
I bet Kylie’s used to seeing us fight always she doesn’t bother asking questions again. She knows just how much Nadia hates my guts.
Regardless of what she’s saying, my mind drift away.
All I think about is my boisterous sex with a stranger in an alleyway and how I ended up in my room without remembering how I did so.
My heart thuds and I feel my core still tingling.
His touch and kisses felt so right. Right now, I feel like seeing the man all over again.
“Earth to, Rain!” Kylie’s loud voice snaps me away from my reverie and I swallow, turning to look at her.
“I’m sorry. What were you saying?” I ask Kylie, trying to keep my face void of the bliss I feel.
“I was telling you a story about the party. Wait, what were you thinking?”
“Nothing!” I rasp, facing front again.
“Are you keeping secrets now? Tell me how was your first sex with Killan? Tell me you loved it.” Kylie chirps, excitement rippling through her.
I take a moment to breathe before responding. “Killan and I didn’t do it, Kylie.”
My friend’s brows crease as she looks at me. “What do you mean? You said yourself you’re gonna do it…”
“Killan is a cheat, Kylie! I saw him with my sister making out. Turns out they’ve fucking behind my back.” I snap, interrupting her.
Kylie hits the brake quickly, making my heart jump out of my chest.
“What the heck, girl?” I snap, swallowing. When I manage to throw a glimpse outside, I see someone who looks a bit similar to a stranger walking into a café.
“Omigod!” I rasp under my breath and unfasten my belt. With a start, I open the door and cross the road without thinking twice.
“Rain! Where are you going?” Kylie calls out, coming after me. However, as I venture into the café I end up not seeing the man except for the woman sitting by the corner, alone.
Was I seeing double? I wonder in deep thought until I feel my friend tugging my hand.
“What is going on, Rain?” She rasps, running short of breath.
“Nothing. I was just…” I trail off.
How do I tell my friend that I’m looking for the man I had my first sex with? I’d recognize him anywhere.
Kylie and I get back into the car and I tell her the story about how I caught Killan and Nadia at the schoolyard.
Kylie expresses her shock while we park the car in the school garage.
The both of us had the same class this morning, hence we walk to the classroom together.
Upon walking into the class, I see Nadia and her minion sitting in the front seat with a dirty smirk on her face when she looks at me.
My heart sings with anger. The urge to wipe off that smirk from her face fills me, but Kylie guides me to the back seat and we settle there.
“Rain…” Kylie starts to speak amid the chatter going on in the class.
However, a deep baritone voice cuts through the noise in the class, startling everyone.
“Good morning, class!”
We all turn to the direction of the voice and my heart sinks into the pit of my stomach before the butterflies there begin to flutter their wings.
Standing before the whole class with gleaming silver eyes, brunette hair, and brawn shoulders is the man from last night.
The very one between my legs, devouring me.
Stunned into silence, I pin my eyes on his. As if by some magical force, his eyes find mine and lock.
A knowing glint crosses in his eyes as he says in a sexy baritone voice to the class.
“I’m Professor Logan Pierce. Your new history teacher!”
“Omigod!” the words echo in my ears but it takes me a while to realize I’m one that saying it.
The stranger from last night is my…professor?
Hell, I’m doomed!
TBC.
Rain’s POV.“So, since you all already know my name, I’d like you to familiarize myself with yours too.” Professor Logan says, his sharp eyes taking in everyone in the classroom.I feel my whole body shaking at the revelation that the man I had tasted last night was my professor.Other students are already on their feet, introducing themselves as he had demanded. But I was so lost in thought that I did not realize it was already my turn for the introduction until Kylie bumped her shoulder into me.I gasp, staring at my friend to scold her but Kylie whispers, “The professor…”“The red-haired! May I know your name?” The professor’s voice intercepts Kylie.I feel a ripple of shivers down my spine and I manage to get up on my feet, swallowing the lump in my throat.“Uh…professor.” I stutter, my body jittering Why the hell am I shaking? Peering at him, I notice the intense way he's looking at me like he’s studying me.My whole body prickles with a strange kind of awareness under the weigh
Rain’s POV.Looking into Professor Logan’s eyes, my breath stalls in my lungs at the way he's peering at me like he's looking into my soul.I don’t know why I feel like he followed me here deliberately. Is that even possible?Gosh, my mind is a mess right now as I’m standing right in front of him, lost for words.I wasn’t aware the rector was calling me only for me to tour professor Logan around the school.How convenient? Being with the man I’m forcing myself to stay away from?Then the man chuckles, the baritone so deep it coats my skin with tingles. I get lost in his mesmerizing eyes.He shoulder passes me, putting some distance between us.“Lead the way, Rain Hanks.” Is what he says, cocking a brow at me. He knows what that look he's giving me does to me that’s why he keeps glowering at me that way.Embarrassment mottled my cheeks red when he says. “I simply don’t prioritize stalking my students, Rain Hanks. So, I advise you to get past that thought.”He adds a gear in his stride,
Logan’s POV.I shouldn’t be here with her!I shouldn’t be feeling the satiny flesh of her skin with my palms.Despite how much I tell myself that, my wolf insists on being by her side.To touch her. To kiss her.Fuck! It’s all messing with my head, burning my soul.Blade roars inside me, ordering me to spend more time with her. Then I ask her to hold my hand so we can wander into the woods.She said it’s a forbidden part of the school. Students aren’t allowed there but I know better.That’s the place it all started.My wolf purrs in my head when Rain knit our palms together and we begin to venture deeper into the woods. My nerves are frayed with an unbridled need to be inside her.The wagging of my wolf’s tail, the purring of my balls and the ripe tension I feel coming from Rain muddles my mind.When she mistakenly stumbles and falls into me, I give in.I pull her into my thighs, assessing her foot to see if she obtained any injury. Though I see none I keep caressing her foot.My fang
Rain’s POV.Whimpers of bliss vibrate from my chest, mixing with the pains I feel.But with each passing moment, he kisses me, crowding me with the heat of his body, I notice the pain isn’t there any longer.How’s that possible? Is all ponder on. Professor Logan tights his mouth on mine, holding the sides of my face.I give in, my legs parting to welcome him in between my legs fully. Tension uncoil in my belly as I savor the kiss.Wow! Hmmm. This is so good! I rasp.When he pulls back, his harsh breath washes over my face. Then… “Does it still hurt?”I wrack my mind to check if I still feel pain but I don’t.Strange, I ponder, ogling at his face through the dark.“Rain…” He chirps and his husky voice sends chills down my spine. “We shouldn’t have come here.” Echoes his voice.Professor Logan zips up from me, facing away as if he’s battling demons. But I know he's only battling his attraction for me.I refuse to battle mine for him anymore, certainly, not after that sizzling, mind-mush
Rain’s POV.“Gosh!” I let out, trying to meet up with Professor Logan’s car.He’s speeding away from our vicinity, making it difficult for me to catch up with him.“Hurry up!” I whisper under my breath to my bicycle, riding fast while also making sure he doesn’t see me coming after him.I turn every corner he turns to. Much to my surprise, I realize he’s driving back to the school direction.What? Why is he going back there? I wonder.“Fuck!” I yelp and squelch my tires to a stop when I see him kill his engine before a man standing by the sidewalk.I watch them in the dim parts, trying to hear what the blond-haired man is saying to him but it’s totally impossible to hear them.The blond then nods and enters the car. Professor Logan quickly starts the car and they zoom away.Again, I try to stalk my professor but the blaring horn and my name coming out of someone’s mouth makes me stop.“Rain!! Come over here!”Kylie! I mutter inwardly, turning my gloomy face to my girlfriend. She obvio
Logan’s POV.Hiding in Rain’s bathroom, I peep at the older woman and wait for her to leave. She tucks Rain's duvet well, caressing her hair.Though it’s dark, I still make out her face and she looks the same as the picture Lester showed when I asked him to dig in deeper about Mr. Hanks's household.The woman struts to the dresser but I can’t see what she did there exactly before reaching the exit.I thought she had left when I pushed the bathroom door open, the hinges hissed and her voice echoed in the dark room.“Who's there?”My eyes go owl-wide immediately, my breath stalling.“I said who’s there?” The woman screeches and I hear her footsteps coming closer.Fuck! I curse, clenching back into the bathroom. I don’t know what I step onto but I suddenly find myself in a small walk-in closet, and into a heap of Rain's panties.“Dammit!” I curse, picking up some panties to stuff over my mouth.Jeez, what the heck am I doing placing Rain‘s panties over my mouth? I ask myself.Regardless
Logan’s POV.The blinds are drawn, allowing the morning sun to filter into my study. My footsteps echo as I head over to my bar nonchalantly, grabbing a bottle of margarita.Back behind my desk, I settle into my seat with a wince and pour the drink into my glass filled with three ice cubes.The two young men in the room watch me with curiosity. I know Lester watches me with worry given the slight wound I obtained earlier this morning.“Hmmm…” a hum escapes me when I take a drink, wetting my throat. Then I glare back at Tiago. “Let me guess, the rulers have notched up their security just to keep us away from this town?”Tiago swallows, a grit to his jaw as he nods. It actually amazes me how he manages to pretend to be human all these years while living under the noses of the four rulers. The four founders of Oakdale.Tiago literally works for Mr. Hanks, the highest and most powerful of the four rulers.He's Mr. Hanks' assistant. Tiago fell in love with someone and decided to stay human
Rain’s POV. I wake up with a startling gasp, panting as my heart pulsates. My wide eyes take in my room. Fuck, I feel like something strange happened here last night. Omigod, I sigh at the banging in my head. It usually happens whenever I wake up the way I just did. I need a drink of water, I whisper inwardly to myself. Pulling the duvet aside, I cast my legs on the floor. When I rise up, I stretch my back, bones cracking at the impact. I was just about to move into the bathroom when my eyes closed in on a clump of sand on the floor. “What?” I bite out, feeling a rising tremble in my knees. I crouch low and scoop up the sand. My fingers smear over it and one thought races through my mind. “Someone was in here last night.” I gasp, wondering who. If it was Nadia she must have woken me up when she came into the room. Besides, Nadia’s shoes are always spotless. She never leaves a dent. Nadia is out of the question now. It has to be someone else, but who? Emerging back on my feet,
Logan's POV. “Alpha, the Luna is here to see you.” Lester's voice comes in through the mind link and I smirk. It's not been long since I teleported to Rain's room to keep the flowers I had gotten for her. I seriously wasn't expecting her to come here so soon but right now, that ignites my heart with joy. Oh, the best thing that happened to me today was coming across the relationship blog I saw today on the internet.That's where I learned that women love it when their man apologizes with a bouquet.” “Let her in,” I tell Lester as I brace myself for the sight of her. Swiftly, I drop my pen and emerge on my feet. Goddess help me, my heart is running a mile a minute! My cheeks expand with a smile. Even before Rain enters my office, her scent has already barreled into my nostrils. She smells so incredible. I'm well aware of the creases in my dress shirt and I start adjusting them, dusting off the speck of dust on my body. Then the door creaks open and I look up, threading my gaze
Rain’s POV. I run out of Logan’s office with my heart panting. I honestly thought I’d gotten over him but that’s a typical lie. It’s not as easy as I thought it’d be. He’s all I think about every minute of the day. The air I practically breathe. Gosh, what actually made me think I could ever get the hell away from him? I curse under my breath as I head over to the greenhouse. My fingers won’t stop grazing over my lips in the bid to feel those hot kisses he gave me just now. Staying two whole weeks without so much as a touch from him made me teeter toward the edge of insanity. Right now, my insides are burning up, scorching every corner of my being. Logan, gosh, you’ve really messed me up. I try to force myself to stop thinking about him but that seems like I’m pouring water on a damn stone. I can’t stop feeling things for him. Whenever I see him from a distance, my heart palpitates. The annoying voice in my head always seems to admire him a lot, whispering dirty ideas into my min
Logan’s POV.“What’s going on here?” I thunder just as I reach them. Rain practically gasps at the furious undertone of my voice.When she notices it’s me, her brows furrow slightly, you’d barely even know it’s there.“Nothing professor, Logan. We and Rain were having a nice chit chat…” One of the twins, Robin answers, quirking the corner of his up while glancing over at Rain.That adds to my fury. I sharply turn to them and sputter.“Flirting with a woman during lecture hours? Do you not know the consequences of your actions?” My voice is more high-pitched than I intended.Rain glowers at me, hating the fact that I suddenly brought up one of the rules and regulations of Oakdale High. From what I know, the twins were notorious in the university.“Professor, Logan. We were talking. There’s practically nothing lewd they said.” Rain chimes in and knowing she’s taking their side flares my anger. I know what she’s doing. She is trying to move on with her life and forget I ever existed. Li
Logan's POV. My goddess, I hum inside me as I take my mate's lips, kissing her within an inch of life. Hell, can I never get enough of her sweetness. Every fucking day, it increases. My whole body presses into hers while my hands scroll through the exposed parts of her flesh. My cock grows so hard with a vengeance. No matter how much my inner mind tells me to get a grip on my hunger and consider that Rain might still be hurt, it doesn't yield any effect. I just want to have her. Slipping my tongue out, I find hers with urgency and lock it tight. She moans low, endeavoring to meet the pace of my kisses. “Lo…gan…” She hums, but I don't give her the space to talk. I don't want to interrupt this moment of passion flowing between us. My hands grope for the globes of her ass. I fondle it as my hardened length burrows into her belly button. “We…are…” “Shhh, baby…just…let me kiss you…” I whisper to her and Rain's eyes glaze over. This time around, she's the one that initiates the kis
Rain's POV."I thought you would chicken away this time." Killan's words reverberated around the clock tower and I twirled my head around, searching for his face until I saw him. That instant, my blood curdled and I did nothing but tighten my grip on the dagger. I had come prepared. I swore not to allow Killan to mess with me so I got something to protect myself. Thankfully, I'm slowly becoming an expert in wielding weapons. Today wouldn't be any different. That had been my thought before coming for the laundry event. Well, upon setting eyes on the number of guys Killan came with, all the confidence drained from me. It was all I could do to still hold onto my source of protection. Distantly, cheers vibrated from the town members. They were all ignorant of the war I was waging with Killan. Even Logan too. I didn't intend to inform him. I'd fight this alone. However, everything changed when Killan pressed into my space and smirked down at me sinisterly. "You've done well, prett
Logan's POV. I move into the woods, desperation seeping from my every pore. I wonder what had happened to Rain. I've a feeling she's in danger. My wolf prowls around in my head, wanting to break out on the surface. I poke my nose in the air, trying to trace her through her scent.At first, it seemed difficult. The air is clouded with several other scents. Human male scents to be precise. Much to my surprise, Rain’s scent is mixed with those potent human male scents. Damning all consequences, I shift Into my wolf just so I can detect the direction the scent is headed to. The instant Blade takes off, he growls softly and his nose sticks into the air. Then I smell it. Rain’s elderberry scent is dipped in fear and something else. A coppery tang of blood. Noticing that, my nerves spike in unbridled fear and my wolf paws down the woods, following the scent. Every step I take deeper into the woods, I see a trail of blood. “What the hell happened? Where are you Rain?” I chant repe
Logan's POV. I chase after her, panting hugely. She went towards the back of the clock tower. Using my wolf eyes, I scan the place. Thankfully, it's scanty. I gear up speed, running towards my mate. Kylie has fallen into steps beside Rain, saying something to soothe her. “Rain, wait, girl!” Kylie's voice blares in my ears. She holds Rain's wrist once they've turned the corner, putting a halt to her movement.“Just let me be, Kylie. I promise I'm fine!” She snaps at her friend. I swear, I can hear her heavy, angry puffs of air. From this distance, I can feel the flames of her irritation and anger. Goddess, what in the sky have I done? I shouldn't have let the girls speak to me let alone flirt with me.I curse myself over and over again, running to meet up with them before Rain runs off again. I hope she forgives me for this little mishap. Rain can be a lot more dangerous when she's angry. Once I strut past the turf to turn the corner, I hear Kylie saying. “Believe me, Rain.
Logan's POV. The servants have gathered my clothes and Lester's that are due for laundry, taking them outside to our car. Today is the town's laundry day and everyone is expected to join. I was surprised to hear about it yesterday because this was our tradition when we were once here. Centuries ago, the event was held at the pack house. Pups and adults would be lingering around, dancing in suds while the musicians played very good music with their instruments. It's unfortunate the Slayers learned of it and adopted it. One of the many things they adopted from us. I put on my gray slack and a black sleeveless shirt before making my way out of the room. I try to call Rain but her number isn't connecting. During dinner last night, I had a feeling something was wrong. I hated that I wasn't able to reach out to her because her father was there. Yet, I can't help but feel worried she's in trouble. Something's eating up at Rain and I must know what. This is one of the reasons I'm goin
Rain's POV. Three days have gone by and I haven't met with Killan. What should I have done? I've been worried that Killan will expose me like he said he would but I've not heard rumors flying around. I did my very best to avoid coming in contact with him. I also didn't tell Logan. I don't know what he'll do if I tell him. Because of this problem, I've secluded myself inside my room for the past three days until this evening. Mrs. Sinai came earlier bearing an invitation for dinner from the manor. To say I was surprised was putting it lightly. This has never happened before. I've never had breakfast at the manor with my father. Was it him that brought up this idea? I worry my lower lip between my teeth. If my father were the one who organized this dinner, then I wouldn't refuse to show up. Once it was time, I dressed up and moved outside, heading to the manor. The smell of dough blasts into my nose as soon as I walk up the cobblestone stairs and into the manor. The servants
