Marcus POV As I glanced at Cassandra's sleeping figure, a smile crossed my lips as I gently stroked her hair. "You're beautiful," I whispered, pressing a kiss to her lips before getting out of bed I wanted to make her happy before heading off to college. The joy in my heart was unparalleled the moment she finally confessed her feelings for me. For five long years, I had anticipated those words, longing for her to voice what we both felt. I took decisive steps to make it happen; I got involved with Lilith, knowing it would spark jealousy in Cassandra. Damien warned me repeatedly about the risks, but I was certain in my approach. I knew Cassandra would be reluctant about admitting her love. In the end, I turned our table in my favor, and I succeeded in making her admit she loved me.I heard a voice coming from the entrance of my room, so I stepped out to see what was happening. As I opened the door, I found Damien and Lilith engaged in a heated argument.“What’s going on here?” I dem
**Lilith POV** Once again, Marcus rejected me for that woman. Anger surged through me as tears streamed down my face. Despite the pain from my injury, I made my way back to the mansion. I could barely move, but I was determined to get home. I didn’t even remember how I entery the mansion; I simply collapsed onto the couch. My body ached intensely. Never in my life had I witnessed something so infuriating. His banishment was meant to break him, to make him feel vulnerable, yet with each full moon, he seemed to only grow stronger. I didn't want him to return to me, but despite my resolve, I found myself drawn back to him.“Ahhh!” I yelled, forcefully tossing the glass of water the maid brought me. She trembled in fear, falling to her knees as she scrambled to pick up the broken shards of glass.I’ll get another glass of water for you,” she said, starting to turn away, but I stopped her.“Did I say I needed water?” I demanded, locking eyes with her. Her head drooped in silence, but th
CHAPTER ONECassandra's POVThe dull thud in my head was relentless as I groaned, dragging myself upright. My body felt foreign, like a puzzle with mismatched pieces. Even my throat felt dry and scratchy. I blinked against the early morning sunlight and tried to make sense of my surroundings. Instinctively, I reached out to the other side of the bed, expecting to find Nate, my boyfriend.My hand met warm skin. But it was not Nate's.I froze, my heart lurching in my chest. Slowly, I turned my head to see a man I didn’t recognize. His face was calm, peaceful even. But it was undeniable—he was devastatingly handsome. Messy and curly black hair framed sharp cheekbones, and his full, slightly dark lips were slightly parted in sleep.Oh, fuck no!I scrambled out of the bed, clutching the sheet to my chest as memories of the previous night came flooding back. The party. The drinks. Nate hadn’t been able to come, so I’d gone with friends. But... how had I ended up here? With him? What the fuc
Cassandra's POVThe contract in my hands felt heavier than it should have. I stared at the words on the page, but the words didn't make any more sense to me. Across the desk, the professor leaned back in his chair, his sharp gray eyes fixed on me.“Sign it,” he growled. I lifted my gaze in surprise, meeting his. “Excuse me?”“You heard me,” he said smoothly. “Sign it. I won't repeat myself, Cassandra!”God, it was on with the way he said my name again! His arrogance was infuriating. I couldn't allow myself to be swayed by this arrogant hulk of a man, regardless of the fact that he had done things to my body on that fateful night two weeks ago. Things that still played over and over in my head, no matter how many times I pushed it aside. With a burst of indignation, I slammed the contract onto the desk, the sound echoing in the small office. “Oh, you’ve got some nerve, professor!" I roared. “Do I look like I'm someone you can coerce with threats and a loud voice? I’m not signing anyt
Marcus' POVI sat under the full moon, the silver light pouring into my study through the wide-open balcony doors. The faint chill of the night air brushed against my skin as I swirled the amber liquid in my glass. A malicious smile curled on my lips as I tipped the glass, letting the burn of the liquor seep into my veins.This wasn’t the life I was destined for. No, I was meant to be great—a king among wolves, ruling with strength and honor. Instead, here I was, exiled and cursed, all because of a betrayal so deep it still made my blood boil with anger.I ran my fingers through my hair, staring at the moon as if it could offer some answers. Why me? The memory of that night—the night my life crumbled—was like a foggy dream, slipping through my grasp every time I tried to piece it together. They had accused me of killing a descendant of the Moon Goddess herself. Me, a loyal Alpha who had only ever sought to protect his pack.But the evidence, or rather the lack of it, worked against me
Cassandra's POVLast weekend was one I wished I could erase completely. If only I’d known what kind of man Marcus was before signing that ridiculous contract. A professor, sure, but also something darker and more twisted—a psychopath, no doubt about it.The thought of him made my mouth go bitter with bile. I hated how his presence seemed to take over my life, how he controlled my every move. I hugged my books closer to my chest as I walked into the campus, trying to shake off the memories, but they clawed their way back in.Three weeks ago, everything had spiraled out of control. I’d barely spoken to Nate since. Not that I hadn’t tried; Marcus had taken my phone, cutting me off completely from the outside world. He didn't even let me reach out to Lauren! It was weird, but I hadn’t dared to push back. His threats were always filled with a sinister calmness that made me wary of him.I hurried toward my class, my mind drifting to Nate’s calls—calls I couldn’t answer, even if Professor Ma
Alpha Marcus Pov..The iron gate creaked open, groaning like it had secrets to spill. I stepped inside, humming a soft, offbeat tune that echoed in the narrow corridor. The air felt damp with years upon years of decay. The space carried a chill, the kind that seeped into your bones and left a lasting imprint.With a snap of my fingers, the lights flickered to life, revealing the room in all its grim glory. Chains hung from the walls like grotesque ornaments, and in the center sat Nate, bound to a chair, blood trailing down his face and staining his shirt. He looked up with wide eyes that found mine, and gasped. The sound was delicious."Professor Marcus?" he stammered with a voice that quivered like a reed in the wind. "What is this? What... what do you want?"I allowed myself a smile. "Ah, Nate. Always the one with questions." My eyes moved to the guard standing beside him. The man bowed slightly, awaiting my command.Nate started to breathe faster. He struggled against the ropes, ma
Cassandra’s POVLost in my thoughts, I stood in the shower, letting the cold water blast against my skin. This wasn't the life I envisioned—I felt suffocated, trapped in a contract with a psychopath. Just the thought of Professor Marcus’s twisted actions sent a shiver down my spine.“Who should I blame for my foolishness?” I said aloud, realizing just how long I had been lost in my reflections. Suddenly, a cold draft wiped through the bathroom, sending a jolt through my body.Oh Goodness!I quickly reached for my towel, only to find it was missing. Determined not to catch a cold, I rushed out of the bathroom to dry off. To my shock, I found Professor Marcus sitting in the corner of the room, his gaze locked onto me with a predatory intensity.Darting my gaze from him to the tower lying on the bed, I thought to myself. “If I move faster, I could get it".I quickly swerved towards the bed to grab my tower, but it seemed luck wasn't on my side; I felt His grip on my waist as he forcefull

Cassandra POV "I missed you Cassie" He murmured the words against my throat, He smoothed a hand over my skin, taking his time, savouring every millimetre of my flesh with the tips of his fingers. His hands, so firm and confident, slid up my body and settled just above my waist and I gave a soft gasp as he dragged both thumbs over the tips of my breasts. I felt my nipples strain, seeking his attention, and he chuckled, seeing how he was slowly stirring my body. Then he slid his fingers inside the soft cloth.The atmosphere pulsed with a heat that was almost unbearable and I gave a low moan as the burning in my body intensified to almost unbearable proportions. I felt as though the desire would burn all the way through my body."I want you Cassie" He groaned, desire thicken his words and his accent. "So beautiful." Maybe I was. I was parched with desire."Marcus..." Consumed by a desire so intense that it was almost terrifying, I lifted a hand to his cheek and he turned his head to ki
Cassandra POVTime stood still as Marcus locked eyes with me, as he had a mix expressions. He drew me closer, his gaze intense and searching. “Say that again,” he insisted. I could feel the weight of his anticipation. “I love you, Professor Marcus.”A smile broke across his lips as he leaned in closer, whispering firmly into my ear, “I love you too, Cassie. But you should know, you have to be punished for taking so long to sort out your feelings.”The force of his words left me speechless for a second. "Punished?" I whispered."Yes." He replied. And with one sweep of his arm, he lifted me in the air and placed me to sit on the sink.Kiss me! I screamed in my head with a strange, unfamiliar need, completely captivated by him. I was staring openly at Marcus's mouth now, utterly mesmerized, and he was looking down at me, his gaze hooded, his eyes darkening. He was breathing harder than usual, and I had stopped breathing altogether. I’m in your arms. Kiss me, please, I pleaded inside
Cassandra POVIt's been weeks since I last saw Marcus, and it’s clear he’s been avoiding me despite my efforts to reach out. Each day, my heart aches at the thought of how close he has become with Lilith. I refuse to let these thoughts consume me, but the pain of missing him is real—I love him. The time apart has only intensified my feelings, and I acknowledge how deeply I’ve fallen for him.I stand before the mirror, confronting the version of myself that feels like a mere shadow. I’ve struggled to eat and sleep, but I know that if Marcus were to show up, I would finally have the opportunity to address my feelings head-on.When I hear a knock on the door, my heart races with the hope that it could be Marcus. I quickly get out of bed and stride to the door, ready to take face whatever happens next. As I open it, I was taken aback to find Damien standing there.“Can I come in, Miss Cassandra?” he asked, still awaiting my permission. I forced a smile, but my mind was racing. What was he
Lilith POV My heart swung with happiness as I realized that Alpha Marcus had begun to accept me, but still, I held a massive grudge in my heart against him. For all the centuries, I've been rejected by him, treated like some piece of shit, despite knowing how much I loved him and was ready to worship the ground he walked on. However, he entirely ignored me. After his banishment, I felt sorry for him in a way, but then I was happy that he was gone. However, my heart still yearns for him, so why did they mean we're trying so hard to kill him? I took it upon myself to go searching for him just this one last time. Maybe he will accept me this time, and we will pretend nothing ever happened. But then I was wrong, realizing that he had moved on so quickly as my eyes held the young lady staying with him. I felt a surge of anger. The way he looked at her, I could feel how much he was in love with her. My heart broke into a million pieces. If only Alpha Marcus would look at me this way,
Cassandra POVI caught my reflection in the mirror and a c smile crossed my face as I noticed the hickey mark on my neck. The memory of last night surged through my mind, and I felt a flush of satisfaction. I headed to the dining room, the smile still present; I wanted to experience that connection every night. Marcus had a way of drawing me in, and I embraced every moment we shared.As I reached the dining room, I paused, taken aback by the sight of Lilith and Marcus having breakfast together. Was this some sort of joke? I wondered, but I steeled myself and approached them, my heart pounding with each step.I sat at the opposite end of the table, making a deliberate sound to catch Marcus’s attention. He, however, chose to ignore me, fixating instead on Lilith.“Miss Cassandra, what can I serve you?” Liam asked, bringing my focus to him. I shifted my gaze from Marcus to Liam and allowed a confident smile to form on my lips.“You don't need to concern yourself with me, Liam; I’ll hand
Author’s POV As his mouth sucked on her boobs, she let out a muffled groan that set his body on fire. He removed his mouth from her breast, staring at her luscious body.Slowly,he moved his mouth to her breast again but made a circular motion on them while stopping to suck on her nipple. She shivered at the feeling of being sucked. He smirked but continued moving down her flat stomach to her bellybutton.He stopped again as he let his tongue roll over her bellybutton. His finger was twirling around her left breast. He could feel her clasping the bed tightly. She was trying so hard to control her emotions.He chuckled knowing that his next move would make her scream his name in pleasure. Slowly, his tongue kept moving downwards until it rested on the mouth of her red and juicy p***y. She was dripping wet already.Positioning himself, he spread her legs widely and he can feel she thinks he was going to fuck her already."Not yet, cassie. I want to have a taste of you again " he whisper
Cassandra POV** What was happening to me? Why was jealousy consuming me? The sight of Lilith ignited a fierce rage in my heart. I didn’t want her around Marcus—no, I was determined to ensure I was the only woman in his life. Marcus had made it clear he had no feelings for her, so why was she still around, making me feel this way?My heart pounded in my chest as I battled the relentless thought of Marcus in the arms of another woman. “Get it together, Cassandra! Wake up and take control of your feelings!” I muttered, frustration coursing through me as I tossed myself onto the bed. Enough was enough—this was my time to hide my feelings. “Thinking about me?” Marcus' voice echoed in the room, making me shot up from the bed, startled, my voice raising in surprise.“Marcus!” “Easy there. I didn’t mean to startle you. I’ve been standing at the door for a few minutes,” he said as he walked into the room.“Why are you here? Let me guess, your fiancé left you?” I said, eyebrow raised, not m
