Author's POV:

Kai's pulse was hammering in his ears, drowning out the chaotic shouts and shrieks from the crowd. Every instinct in him was telling him to move, but his gaze was locked onto Asher.

Asher, who was more like a blur of rage and shadows at this point, his silver blade gleaming under the torches.

It wasn't just a dagger– rather, it was a definite death sentence for any werewolf. And right now, the target was Fynn.

Kai knew that Fynn was looking away from them at the moment, and shouting to alert him would be completely useless.

The noise from the crowd was absolutely deafening, like they were standing at the foot of a waterfall as the voices crashed together in an uncontrollable wave.

And even if Fynn heard him, he might not be able to dodge in time.

His mind raced for a solution, scanning the arena… until he found it!

Just outside the boundary, his eyes caught on a thick log of wood lying on the ground. It was probably a fragment of a wooden pole, which had broken o

  • Oops! My Twin Mates are my Professors   Wounded Alpha

    Author's POV:Screams tore through the crowd as Asher morphed into something far beyond human or wolf… far beyond the limits of ethics or morality. “What the HELL!! This is forbidden!” “How dare he bring something forbidden into the Arena! Doesn't he fear the Moon Goddess?!” “Has anyone even seen something like this before!?”“This is madness!” But despite the protests, nobody actually called a stop to the duel, shocked and intimidated by the form they had seen him take… and Asher was the last one to care. His body was shaking, too weak to control the raw power running through his veins as his blood magic strengthened his muscles. And then, with a guttural snarl as his only warning, he lunged. Kai stood his ground, keeping his grip loose around the iron blade to avoid tiring himself out. He tuned out the uproar around him, the frantic cries of the spectators, and focused only on Asher. He adjusted his stance. He had to stay focused, especially since Asher's limbs were mov

    Kai's POV:Darius’s roar shook the Arena, his fury so unbearably feral that even the audience members flinched in their stands. His eyes, bloodshot and wild, locked onto me with nothing but pure hatred.I didn't make a move to stop or provoke him, I could see the sorrow reflected in them. Despite everything, he was a father who had just lost his child. My eyes followed the older Alpha as he circled me, as if he was sizing me up before the attack. “I will tear you from limb to bloody limb! And then you'll see why you shouldn't have challenged a Blackwood!!”His voice was hoarse with rage, but I remained still. My muscles tensed up in anticipation of an attack, but I kept myself locked in my stance. He was acting on emotion more than reason, and that made him unpredictable… this could go either way, and I needed to conserve all the energy I had left.

    Vienna’s POV:“Happy birthday! When are you going to cut the cake?”A cheerful voice broke through the noise, and I looked up to find a girl standing in front of me. Her face was vaguely familiar, but I couldn’t remember her name. "Thanks," I gave her a quick smile. “I’m just waiting for Asher.”“So when will he be back?”“Umm! Wait, let me look for him. He told me he'll be back by now.”“Okay, enjoy your birthday!" The girl adjusted her glasses and smiled at me. I slipped past the crowd, stepping out into the corridor.Asher was my boyfriend, the one who had organized this whole party. All thanks to him, our college cafeteria looked completely unrecognizable, and half the student body was here to celebrate my birthday. But even though everyone else seemed to be having fun, my eyes were searching for him. Where was he…?The noise of the party faded behind me as I walked past a classroom next to the cafeteria, towards the basketball ground. My feet paused when I heard Asher's laug

  • Oops! My Twin Mates are my Professors   Homecoming

    Kai’s POV:I started the car and checked the time on my wristwatch— 11:45 AM. I still had plenty of time; the engine vibrated softly as I turned the wheel, backing out of the driveway. A notification from the navigation app popped up on the dashboard, but I declined it with a quick swipe. I didn’t need an app to get around this city, I knew it like the back of my hand. This was my territory, even though we had been living halfway across the world, in Cape Town, until last week. My jaw clenched as I thought about our sudden move here. I would’ve stayed in Cape Town with Fynn and Mom, if it wasn’t for him… Alpha Griffin. My knuckles started to turn white as I tightened my grip on the steering wheel, trying to keep my focus on the road ahead.My father, Alpha Griffin Maddox– the world knows him as the former Alpha of the pack. But we know him as the drunkard and philanderer he really is, because he was the reason we had left our Azuremist pack in the first place. Ten years ago, whe

  • Oops! My Twin Mates are my Professors   Homewrecker!

    Vienna's POV: I finally reached the classroom and sat down in my seat with a thump. It took a few more minutes for my shaky breaths to become stable. And as the anger that had been boiling in my chest slowly started to simmer down, it left me with a horrifying realization. ‘What have I done?’I had kissed someone. Not just someone, but a complete stranger… in public! My cheeks started to burn, and I quickly laid my head down on the desk. ‘Although I have spent the last twenty one years as a werewolf, today is the first time I have behaved more like an animal than a civilized human!I was getting secondhand embarrassment from myself… I had kissed him without consent, and I didn’t even know if I had apologized to him after. “Maybe it wasn't so bad. He did kiss you back, you know?”A voice echoed in my mind, trying to console me– but I crushed it within seconds. Whether he liked it or not, it didn’t change the fact that I had crossed a line. I sighed in frustration. It was my firs

  • Oops! My Twin Mates are my Professors   Misunderstanding?

    Vienna's POV:Gemini and her friends left the cafeteria like they had seen a ghost and wanted to escape the haunting desperately. Meanwhile, I remained standing there, rooted to the spot in complete disbelief. Did he just… threaten them with expulsion on my behalf? Did I hear it correctly…?My mind was still trying to catch up when he turned around, looking at me with concern in his eyes. “Are you sure you aren’t hurt anywhere?”His voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I blinked up at him, surprised.Oh, God. My heart is doing that weird flutter thing again. “No, I’m good. Thank you for stepping in to help me, though.”The words felt strange coming out of my mouth. Showing gratitude to someone wasn't something I was used to. I was five when my mom passed away, and I had been doing everything on my own since then– no matter how important, or how insignificant the task was.I had never relied on anyone, I had never felt gratitude towards anyone for taking a stand for me…I swallowed

    Vienna's POV:Shock and embarrassment washed over me as I realized my mistake.By the time I could process the whole "twin" thing, the door swung open, and in walked someone else.My eyes widened.The new arrival strolled in, laughing as if he had heard the entire conversation. He glanced from me to Kai, while I blinked, completely taken aback. If it wasn’t for the fact that Kai had just told me about the existence of his brother, I would’ve thought I was losing my mind. "So, I take it you’ve met my twin already?"He said, his voice carrying that same smooth tone Kai had, though with a little more seriousness. I stared at him, trying to figure out if he was joking or not. "Fynn, meet Vienna," Kai introduced me, his lips curling into a small grin. "I think there’s been a bit of confusion.""A bit?" Fynn smirked. "She looked like she was about to interrogate you on hot coals! But I'm curious, did you seriously think we were the same person?"I blinked again, feeling the heat rise t

    Vienna's POV:I stood in front of my dresser, holding the mascara wand in hand, trying to perfect my smile. I practiced again in the mirror, although it felt more like a forced rehearsal. Today was supposed to be a milestone birthday, but so far, it was turning into a day of endless embarrassment. But as much as I wanted to spend the rest of the day rotting in my bed, I couldn't skip the gala.I had to get ready for the ancient rituals that were going to be held later. As I swept the mascara across my lashes, coating them evenly, my gaze drifted to the small open box of opal earrings sitting on the dresser. My father’s customary birthday gift… I snapped the box shut, feeling a pang of annoyance as I tucked it away into a drawer filled with identical boxes. Fifteen of them to be precise, stacked neatly beside one another. Every year, without fail, he tossed the same earrings at me, probably considering that it was a thoughtful gift. He didn’t even care to remember which ones he ha

    Author's POV: Every breath that Asher took, depleted his body of its remaining energy, costing him a lot more than it should; but he barely noticed. Still, the pain in his body was nothing compared to the fire burning in his mind. His fingers twitched, as his heart pumped out the last reserves of his energy through his veins. But even in this state, every fibre of his being was screaming at him to get up. This wasn’t over. Not yet. Not until he decided so!Supporting himself with his left arm, he gritted his teeth, trying to fight through the pain. At the same time, he slipped his right hand into the folds of his pants, where he had hidden a silver dagger… his last ditch effort to seal the result of his competition. His fingers wrapped around the hilt of the blade as he exhaled. All his life, he had been preparing for this moment. Every practice session, every duel till now, every drop of sweat he had shed in this Arena, it had led him here. And wasn’t about to let this chan

  • Oops! My Twin Mates are my Professors   Face-off

    Author's POV: The drumbeats echoed through the Arena, but their rhythmic thumping wasn't just supposed to mimic the heartbeat that was resonating deeply within the bones of every onlooker. Rather, they were also supposed to summon the spirits as witnesses of the Championship. And the chants of the crowd were rising to a crescendo as the first match of the championship was about to begin. Each face-off was a complete battle of strength, will, and heritage within itself. The fighters stepped into the circular ring, moving into their designated positions. The other purpose of the drums was to ensure that through the aura maintained inside the Arena, no one could completely shift into either pure human or pure wolf form during these fights. The sacred rules of the Arena were made to ensure fairness during the duels as the chants were being chanted by the shamans. The first pair of fighters stepped forward, their muscles rippling beneath their partially shifted forms. The fighters’ n

  • Oops! My Twin Mates are my Professors   Alpha of the North

    Author's POV: The Northern Pack of Hefternort had always been a mystery to outsiders. Famous for being extremely reclusive and bound by traditions, they preferred to keep to themselves, rarely mingling with other packs, let alone humans. They were probably the only packs which clung to the old ways of living like tribals, worshipping their forest gods alongside the Moon Goddess, and taking on the burden of preserving the ancient rituals long abandoned by modern packs. Known to be one of the powerful packs, they never cared about any competitions, and rarely even revealed themselves to anyone. They were invited to the Championship every year, but they never cared to show up. And that's why, people slowly started to believe that they were not interested in the Championship at all… but the assumption that they might show up one day was there in everyone's heart. Still, no one had actually expected them to enter the championship. The murmurs of the crowd grew as did the level of exci

  • Oops! My Twin Mates are my Professors   Skinwalkers?!

    Author's POV: Over the past week, all petty rivalries and long-standing clashes had been stashed away for later. The packs and pack members had set aside their grievances with each other, as all their focus had been narrowed to a single event: the Championship for the Supreme Alpha. Preparations had been in full swing for a while now, as volunteers from every pack had been sent to coordinate the efforts. A massive Arena had been constructed within a neutral territory outside of Camden Falls; for this, the vast central area of the woods had been carved out, forming a battleground designed to test the mettle of those who dared to claim the throne. But what was special about the Challenge for the Supreme Alpha was that, unlike other competitions where there was always a winner and a loser… in this Arena, there was no guaranteed winner. If the finalists Alphas ended up killing each other, then there shall be no Supreme Alpha for that tenure. And coincidentally enough, all the champ

    Vienna's POV: Orion’s face had gone pale, as sweat started to trickle along the sides of his temple. His lips were shaking with the effort of keeping his tears under control, but no words came out of his mouth. Probably, he still needed time to believe that the girl he had left at the mercy of Tessa and a few pennies in his house was his actual daughter, the one carrying his bloodline.The one who actually deserved his love, care and attention. While he had done the exact opposite of it, since he had given all his affection, care, attention, money and privilege to the one who wasn't even his daughter. He had really messed up big; all this time, he had been cherishing the stone while neglecting the diamond, and now when he had finally come to know the reality of his daughter… I have already decided to leave him. And that's not even my fault, I reminded myself. Old bonds were hard to break, but it was him who hadn't given me the place and attention I always deserved… and he didn't

    Vienna's POV:I could feel the tension in the air; and the awkwardness was thick enough to choke on, as Orion stammered, his voice barely above a whisper. "What... what are you saying... about Vienna?" Before I could respond, Tessa’s voice cut through the silence, dripping with frustration. “Gemini isn’t your daughter, you thick-headed fool!” “So stop thinking of ways to get her killed and beg Vienna to save her life. Or I won’t let you take a single breath in peace! I’ve done all this, planned all of this… just for my daughter’s sake! And I’m definitely not going to leave her fate in your hands, so that you can risk her life in a Blood Auction.” Tessa was definitely scared out of her wits, since she had gone from pleading with Orion to threatening him within minutes. And Orion didn’t seem to know what to make of it. He stared blankly at Tessa for a moment, still scrambling for some form of clarity, his voice shaky. “Vi… Vienna is my daughter… and not Gemini…” That was thw
