Thalia “You are a slut.” The tiny nagging voice in my head judged me. I lost count of how many times it has judged me in the past week. Not like I disagreed with her or anything. If I am being honest. I might be a slut. Yeah, why else would I have slept with two different men on two different nights within a week? Scrap that, within two nights! It still felt like a surreal experience for me and if I didn’t have the marks on the bridge between my neck and shoulder, I would have concluded that I dreamt it. “It wasn't a dream. It really happened.” I whispered as I put the finishing touches to my makeup. It was the first day of the new school year and honestly, I just want this year to run through so that I will be in my finals. I am so tired of school and just want to run away but I can’t do that. “You can’t afford to not graduate.” I told myself. If I ever don't graduate, I am damn sure my parents will disown me. They have been hinting at it for years now. The only thing still
Thalia I looked away and swallowed, trying to clear the lump that formed in my throat. Fucking hell, my new professor is one of my lovers. What in the world? I spared him a lot again and he was still looking directly at me. fuck, he remembers me. I looked away again and tried to get my heart to stop beating fast. I hoped to meet him again after the night we had but I never thought it would be like this. At my school. I didn’t want him to be my professor because that would make him off-limits. The school has a rule that students and professors can’t date as long as the student still attends classes within the school. I didn’t want him to be off-limit. Lucas. I finally know his name but at what cost? “Lia, the professor is talking to you.” I heard Emily whisper and I looked toward the front. He smiled and my heart skipped multiple beats. Holy fuck. This wasn’t part of my plan today. “I am sorry, sir, can you please repeat what you said? I was a little distracted.” Good, Thalia, g
Thalia “I am sorry sir,” I said, bowing my head. The last thing I want right now is to be in my new professor’s bad book. “See me in my office after class, Miss Thalia. Sit down.” “But sir,” I stopped whatever I was about to say and took my seat. Bloody hell, it wasn’t looking good for me. Maybe I should have stayed at home today. I made a mistake already and it was just the first day of the school year. I really can’t afford to be on a lecturer’s bad side. I don’t want a bad grade because of spite. I let out another sigh and listened as he introduced the course outline for the semester. Each time I look in his direction, I always catch him looking at me. “Maybe you are just paranoid.” The tiny voice in my head whispered. Maybe I was seeing things that weren't there. He might not even remember me. The thought of him not remembering me kind of made me feel sad but if he doesn’t remember me then why did he single me out? He didn't ask any other students to introduce themsel
Thalia “Please, please, please.” I pleaded, wishing for it all to be a dream. It would be better if the whole of today was some kind of dream. I don’t want the men to be off-limits. Not when I wanted a repeat of what happened. Not when my body craves to be touched and taken by them again. “Thalia? Are you okay?” He called my name out loud. Fuck, he remembers my name. But doesn’t he think the other student will find it weird that he knows my name when it was just his first day? Hell, I have better things to be worried about. “Steve drop your phone while I am talking.” He said before I could respond to his question. I realized that he didn’t actually remember my name, he just knew the names of the students in his class and probably their faces too since he could tell who Steve the Course rep was. “I am sorry sir,” Steve said out loud. “Thalia still looks out of it. I know that I am hot but you don’t have to look so taken by me.” My mouth opened and closed in shock. The class
Thalia I stood there for a moment wondering if I had imagined what I had seen in their eyes the seconds they turned to me. It was a split second but I was damn sure I saw their eyes lit up. Yes, their eye color was different. I was close enough to see it even though it disappeared in the next seconds. “Thalia,” Cross said my name. A shiver ran through my body. I tried to shake off the thought of their eye situation earlier. It might have been my eyes deceiving me. “I came to see Professor Lucas.” I managed to say. “Yes, come into my office.” He said and I was about to do that when Cross stopped me. “No, she can’t. I told you to see me in my office.” “Yes, But he asked for me first. I had his class this morning. Once I am done, I will come over to your office if you can point me in that direction.” I told him. It kind of felt weird to stand outside of my professor’s office, addressing the two of them as “Professors” when they both made me beg for more during our intense, stea
Thalia“The marks.” I whispered to myself, my fingers itching to reach and touch them. Fucking hell, it couldn’t be. No way I carry the marks of these men who might be beasts. Werewolves? Vampires? Which one could they even be? And since when did I start to believe that those things were real? No way.“What are you guys? Werewolves? Vampires?” I couldn’t help asking. They both looked at me and each other before Cross spoke.“Wolves.” I gasped and tried my best to stay put. Werewolves. I fucked two werewolves and now carry their marks. What the fuck did I get myself into? No, I refuse to believe it. There must be a mix-up somewhere, someone was playing tricks with me. “Yes, Lia, we are wolves and you are my mate.” Lucas told me.“No, she is my mate. I am not about to do this with you.” Cross fired at him and I watched as they both started going at each other while stood there, going over what they said multiple times, trying to make sure I didn’t hear wrongly. Mate?“What are you
Thalia“Don’t come any closer,” I whispered and moved backward. He stopped moving. At least he listened. The heat inside me grew even though he stopped coming towards me. Fucking hell, why do I have to react to him? To them? Why can’t I be immune to them? It would have been easier to tell them off.“You can tell them off regardless, just think about graduating.” Yeah, my inner voice was right. I just need to think about graduating and not getting expelled because the school found out I slept with not one but two professors.If that ever happens, my parents will disown me and remove my name from the family register faster than they ever responded to any of my distress calls or attended anything related to me.I took a deep breath and reminded myself that no man is worth giving up what I have worked so hard for. Not even if they are my two hot lovers.“You are not in the place of accepting or rejecting, sir. As far as I am concerned, you both are my professors and I would like for it
Thalia“Ste—“ I stopped talking when he smiled and waved at me. I let out a sigh of relief when I realized that he didn’t hear anything and was just surprised to see me and that’s all that it was. I didn’t realize how scared and in shock I had been to see him until he caught me in his arms as I collapsed.I almost pushed him off but realized very soon that the professors were watching and the best way to make them believe that Steve and I were a thing so they could let go of the mating thing.“Can you take me out of here? I don’t feel good.” I managed to whisper to Steve.“Why? Did they hurt you? Do I need to report to the Dean of Students?” He asked with concern, lacing his voice. I shook my head. The last thing I want right now is for anyone in the school to be involved.“No, they didn’t do anything wrong. We were just talking and I suddenly felt sick. Can you just take me away from here?” I pleaded with him. He nodded and helped me steady myself. I held on to him and turned aro
Thalia “I told you before that he owns a booming business. They both do.” I told her again. she dropped her fork and widened her eyes. “I thought you were just saying.” “Girl, you literally searched for them, remember?” I reminded her. “Yeah, I did. Why did I forget that? anyway, you are one lucky girl. You are born into a rich family, got mated to two rich men and on top of that, you are a literal genius and a beauty goddess, honestly, I don’t know why you aren’t exploring your full potential. What’s stopping you? Remember that modelling job?” I rolled my eyes at her. now, she was back again with the same shit that I already told her that I wasn’t interested in. she wanted me to go into modelling. I asked why she didn’t and she said and I quote. “This is not about me, this is about you and using your beauty for the good of all.” as if that made any sense. It all started a month ago when I got stopped by a talent agency that wanted me to sign with them as one of their mod
Thalia “I am sorry,” I repeated when I finally found my voice. We hugged for a few seconds more before we broke apart and stared at each other. She cried. I could see the aftermath of tears in her eyes. I made her cry yet she didn’t not leave. “I couldn’t leave. I hate fighting with you but I couldn’t continue pretending that you weren’t hurting my feelings.” Emily told me. “I am sorry for how I have been acting. I promise that it won’t happen again. You were right, I need to work on my trust issues. It's not you. It’s me and I will work hard to become a better version of myself.” I promised her. “Thank goddess,” Elena said and we both turned to her. “Do you know that you both fighting will ruin the mood of our small friend group? Don’t do that again. I was gone only a few seconds and you guys broke up?” She let out and shook her head at us in disapproval. “Agree. One moment it was cool and the next moment, they both wanted to tear each other apart. I am just glad th
Thalia “It’s worrying because this is a no-drone area. No drone should be able to get close to the pack.” Now I was even more confused because I didn’t know there was something like that. She saw my confusion and explained. “Our packs, both the Silver-crust and the Rhae Blood Moon pack do not allow drones. We have an official permit from the government and all! Drones are not to be seen in the pack, especially around the woods, I don’t know what happened.” She explained, looking back the way she came from and looking up too as if looking for the drone that she had seen. I looked too but there was nothing. “I don’t know if it's a lost drone or if someone is deliberately sending drones in the direction of the pack to watch us.” Now it made sense. With everything that’s happening with the council, I hope it was a lost drone and not one sent to watch the pack. “I have to speak to the alpha and tell him what I saw.” Elena said in a hasty voice. She looked around again. I re
Thalia “Em, I am so—“ She put a hand up to stop my apology. “No need! Don’t say sorry because I know that you don’t mean it! I should leave. As it stands, to you, u don’t belong here. Maybe I deluded myself too much.” Wow, things just went from back to worse and that’s not what I wanted at all. “No, I swear Emily! I don’t think that you don’t belong here.” I let out, trying my best to fix things but it seemed Emily was hell-bent on not believing my words and I couldn’t even blame her. “I get it! Okay? I get it and I am done. I am out of here and going back to where I belong! Calista please tell Elena I already left and I will talk to you guys tomorrow.” Emily told Calista who tried to stop her from leaving. “She said that she is sorry, can’t you let her off just this once?” Calista asked her. “No, I can’t! I can’t because this isn’t the first time that she doesn’t trust me! What’s the point of being friends with me when she doesn’t trust me?” Emily yelled at Ca
Thalia “Wow,” The only word that made its way out of my mouth after a whole minute of staring at Elena. The other side of Elena. Gosh, I don’t know what I had been expecting with all the descriptions and photo proof that she showed me from internet photos but what was in front of me beat all of those photos and the description that she gave me. Beautiful, so fucking beautiful. Why didn’t I even for once think that I would be scared of her wolf side? Of their wolf side? Seeing her like this and witnessing something so surreal gave me the confidence boost that I would be able to face my men and see their other side without running away in fear. It wasn’t scary at all. Elena slowly strolled towards me and I squatted and reached for her. She came close enough for me to touch her. And gosh! Her furs were so soft and delicate. “You are beautiful.” I told the pretty wolf who growled in response. I hugged her and it felt just as warm as hugging Elena. She didn’t feel any different
Thalia“Are you sure about this? I don’t mind if you change your mind.” I said to Elena. I don’t even know if I was trying to convince her to not do it or not. I don’t know. I just have reservations. I don’t even know how to describe how I felt. We were at the forest which wasn’t really a forest if I am being for real. It was mainly tall woods and it looked clean and peaceful. We passed a couple on the way here and they told us that they went on a date run. I didn’t even know that was a thing. Elena had to explain to me and the girls. Yes, both Emily and Calista wanted to see her wolf side too. We could have easily done it inside the house but Elena said that she was more comfortable transforming in the woods and it was safe to do it. Wolves have such easy and admirable lives. Like a simple date in the woods, being able to completely trust and believe in their mates. There’s no chance of them cheating unless the wolf is really bad. Loyalty.In that aspect, I consider myself lucky t
Thalia Being the darling that she was, she offered to show me hers first. That way, I will have an idea of what to look forward to. I already have an idea, okay? But no physical experience. I have been reading a lot about werewolves and the shifters' world. It became my newfound hobby to learn everything about them. Elena and my lovers also answered all the questions I had to ask them so when it comes to knowledge about the shifter’s world, I knew a lot but that doesn’t mean it will be easy to see the men I love and have been fucking as animals. “Did you hear me?” I realized I hadn’t said anything after he spoke. I nodded. “Yes, I know. You already told the class after the last presentation. We are ready for your exams.” I told him. I wasn’t even kidding. The man has a way with students. Everyone in my class loved him and throughout the semester, no one missed a single class of his. Even Lucas too. They have become the top two favorite professors for students in my depar
Thalia “Don’t worry, you won’t feel his absence while with me and you can call him whenever you want.” I scowled at Cross’s words. I wish it was that easy. I don’t want to disturb. He didn’t travel to play. He has work to do and that’s why he travelled. I won’t be calling him. Maybe a text that he can read and respond to when he is free. I blinked back the tears and wiped the strays off. I coughed to clear my throat before I spoke again. “I have to study for my exams and also hang out with the girls.” I said in an effort to stop being sad about my lover who just left. I heard the car drive out of the driveway and let out a deep sigh. I don’t think it will ever be easy to send any of them away even for the shortest of time. Cross made me look at him and I did, showing him all the sadness. He caressed my cheeks and my lips which were probably slightly swollen from Lucas’s kisses. “Will you miss me like this if I was the one who had to travel?” Was he out of his mind? Wh
Thalia “Lia!” Lucas’s voice shocked me and brought me back to the moment with him. I stared at him in confusion wondering what he said that I missed. Dang! This is why I don’t like thinking about my family in any kind of way. I always end up being lost in thoughts. “What are you thinking about? I feel like you are miles away.” I clammed my lips together guiltily. “What were you thinking about?” He asked again, reaching for me and pulling me closer to himself. I went to him willingly but I didn’t want to tell him. We haven’t talked about my family at all in the past two months and I intend to keep it like that for as long as I can. “Exams and the fact that you are not going to be back until next week. That’s one whole week of not seeing you and I don’t like it.” I lied. Okay, technically, I wasn’t lying because I didn’t like the idea of him being away. “Oh baby, I will be back before you know it. Also, you have him to keep you company.” I made a face. “I know
