Our Little Secret: In Love With My Professor

Our Little Secret: In Love With My Professor

Bound by Fate, Torn by Love Albert is a teenage omega who wears his heart too openly and it costs him everything. When he falls for Edward, his mysterious and much older alpha professor, rejection becomes a cruel lesson. But nothing shatters Albert more than finding Edward kissing his own brother. Heartbroken, Albert runs, straight into the arms of Emon, a kind human who offers him peace, healing, and something like love. For a while, it's enough. Until Edward comes back. Now, Albert discovers a devastating truth: he and Edward are fated mates, bound by an unbreakable bond. But Emon refuses to lose Albert without a fight, even if it means turning to dark magic. Love, loyalty, and destiny collide in this emotional tale of forbidden bonds, shattered hearts, and the painful path to finding where you truly belong. In the end, only one man can win Albert's heart, but will it be love or magic that decides?

Chapter: 189. Five Years Later
EdwardFive years.Sometimes I wake before dawn and it still feels unreal, like if I blink too long, the forest will take it all back. The quiet. The warmth. The steady pulse of life around me that no longer feels borrowed.I lie there now, listening.Still Waters breathes differently these days. The land hums instead of groans. The trees no longer recoil from my presence, they lean in, roots settling deeper as if reassured. Even my wolf rests easier, no longer pacing the edges of my mind like a creature waiting for the next blow.These past five years havebenea blessing I never foresaw after Athena died. But Albert, Cess, Apollo and Theo have done that.I turn my head.Albert is awake.He always wakes before me now, as if his soul is permanently tuned to the world’s shifting rhythms. Since he became a fully fleneced engineer, he has more to do than all of is.He’s sitting against the headboard, loose robe falling off one shoulder, eyes unfocused but alert, listening to something I ca

Chapter: 188. What Endures
AlbertA year later, I still woke up tired and I wished that the night was longer so that I could sleep more.This was not the bone-deep exhaustion of fear or grief or magic tearing me apart, but the quiet, ordinary kind that came from chasing two toddlers down marble corridors before sunrise and for a whole day.“Al,” Edward called gently from the doorway, amusement threading his voice. “They’ve escaped again and I swear I can't put up with them anymore. Cess is always able to handle them but he went to town for the cake.”I laughed despite myself, breathless as I crouched and scooped our son into my arms before he could toddle straight into the council chamber like he always does when unwatched. His brother followed his lead with identical determination, his dark curls bouncing as he ran, Edward’s eyes, my stubbornness.“They are plotting,” I said solemnly.“They always do and their tacit understanding is amazing," he said as he crossed the room and took our son from me, pressing a

Chapter: 187. Blood Does Not Make a Brother
AlbertA month later…The hall was silent when they brought him in.Not the expectant silence of a crowd waiting to be entertained, but the heavy, suffocating stillness of judgment. The kind that presses against your chest and forces you to breathe carefully, as though even the air itself is listening.Aiden Hughes, my big brother, walked between two guards, his wrists bound in silver cuffs, his head held high in defiance. He looked thinner than I remembered, sharper around the eyes, the arrogance stripped raw into something desperate and feral. But he did not look remorseful.That hurt more than I expected. He should have showed remorse at least and for our parents, I would have saved him.I stood beside Edward at the front of the hall, my hand resting unconsciously over my stomach where Aiden had ripped my babies out of me.The babies lying in the cot stirred faintly, a reminder of what had almost been taken from me. Edward’s presence was solid at my side, steady and protective, but

Chapter: 186. Ash and Light
AlbertThe forest knows me now.It opens when I step forward, branches bending, roots sinking deeper into the soil as if bowing. The air hums with restrained power, thick with magic that does not belong to any witch or fae alone anymore.It belongs to me. I am the god of reckoning who's going to give Bibi Kamwe her dose of the medicine she served me back.Edward moves behind me, silent as a shadow, our first child cradled against his chest. The baby sleeps, blissfully unaware of how close death once hovered over all of us. Edward’s presence is steady, not whole yet, not as strong as he once was, but enough. More than enough.I feel the second child before I see them. It begins as a pulse, a cry that doesn’t reach the ears but splits the soul. My hand tightens.“She’s close,” I murmur.Edward nods. “I’ll stay back. I don't want to hond you back,” he says.I glance over my shoulder, meeting his eyes. There is no fear there, only trust. Absolute, unshaken trust. I smile at him and touch

Chapter: 185. One Down
Albert stood in place and then let go of Edward's hand that he had been holding.“You… you… how…?” Adrian tried speaking but no words could come out and Albert just stood there looking at his brother. His face was so calm that it was giving Adrian jitters.Not able to withstand the pressure anymore, Adrian made as if to run away as he held the baby tightly in his embrace.Albert moved with a speed and grace that made the air shimmer, his golden eyes locked onto Adrian and held him in place. Behind him, Edward, pale and hair now white again from the ordeal, steadied himself, but his gaze was sharp and unwavering. Both were alive, focused, and radiating a power that Adrian could feel in his bones.He stumbled backward, still clutching the swaddled baby, his mind scrambling to comprehend the impossible. How had they found him? How had they anticipated his every move? How had Albert survived because Adrian could swear that he had killed Albert? The forest air felt heavy, almost electric,

Chapter: 184. The Shadow’s Reckoning
Bibi Kamwe’s footsteps were silent over the cracked pavement, the soft crunch of debris beneath her boots drowned by the distant hum of the forest they had left behind. She had buried Albert and made sure to cast several wards so that no one would ever find his grave.In her arms, she carried a small bundle, one of the two babies she had taken from the chaos earlier, swaddled tight against her chest and a backpack containing the placenta and the umbilical cords. Beside her, Adrian… or Aiden, as he liked being called, moved with measured grace, eyes sharp and calculating. He was halfway through his plan and all that remained was to show up before Edward, beaten and half dead, crying and telling him how he was able to save one baby from Bibi Kamwe who had taken Albert. He was sure that Edward didn't know that Albert was carrying twins.He wasn't worried because the two of them, Adrian and Bibi Kamwe, had survived chaos that would have broken most. They had outmaneuvered enemies, evaded

The Alpha's Human Dancer (An Erotica)

️ DISCLAIMER — EROTICA CONTENT WARNING This novel contains 60%–70% explicit sexual content, dominant/submissive dynamics, supernatural intimacy, and mature themes. Reader discretion is strongly advised. ×××××××××× Edric Vale is broke, desperate, and out of options. With eviction days away and his sister dying, he takes a job at Luna Noir, a secret underground club that pays dancers a fortune. But the moment he steps on stage, Edric realizes Luna Noir is not human and neither are the hungry eyes watching him. His dance awakens something ancient, drawing predators to him… especially Alpha Leon Blackthorn, the cold, ruthless owner of the underground club and Alpha of the Blackthorn Wolves whose wolf reacts violently the instant he sees Edric. Leon sets the rules: Edric dances only for him. No touching. No flirting. No escape. Because Edric belongs to him, whether he understands it or not. But Edric refuses to be controlled. Until rival Alpha Luka Drazan discovers Edric’s dormant power and tries to claim him for a deadly ritual. Leon saves him brutally, then forces Edric into a contract marriage to protect him... and to keep him close. Soon Edric learns the truth: his bloodline carries magic that can break curses or crown kings, and every time Leon touches him, that magic awakens: hot, wild, and dangerously seductive. When Luka uses Edric's ex to kidnaps him to steal that power, Edric finally unleashes the force inside him. He is not prey. He is destiny. Now, with an ancient threat rising and a prophecy whispering his name, Edric must choose: Run from the supernatural world… or rule beside the Alpha willing to burn it down for him. But what he knows is that his power sings every time Leon touches him.

Chapter: 52. Specimen
EdricWord traveled faster than I expected.By the next morning the entire pack house seemed to know. Conversations stopped when Leon and I entered the dining hall. Eyes fixed first on my face, then dropped unerringly to the side of my neck where the bond mark sat above the collar of my shirt. Some looks held reluctant respect. Most held open disbelief or thinly veiled disgust. A few of the older wolves stared as if I had grown a second head.Aria felt the shift too. She stayed closer to me than usual at breakfast, her earlier cautious curiosity replaced by quiet protectiveness.The summons arrived before midday.A formal notice, sealed with the council’s mark, requested the Alpha and his… bonded companion… to appear in the council chamber at once. The deliberate pause before “bonded companion” was impossible to miss.Leon read it once, jaw tightening, then looked at me. Through the bond I felt a flare of cold anger mixed with steely resolve.“We go together,” he said. “Stay beside me

Chapter: 51. The Mark Revealed
EdricAria wanted to walk again.Two days after the bond had formed, the mark on my neck still throbbed with a low, constant heat. I had kept it covered with high collars and scarves, uncertain how to explain the permanent scar that was already settling into my skin. Leon had been almost unbearably attentive since then, checking the mark several times a day, sending quiet pulses of reassurance through the bond whenever my thoughts drifted toward anxiety.“You’re hovering,” Aria said as we stepped onto the gravel path behind the east wing. She was stronger today, color better, though she still moved carefully. “I’m not going to break just because I know what everyone here is.”“I’m not hovering. I’m… accompanying.”She gave me a look that said she wasn’t fooled. We walked slowly, staying on the nearer paths Leon had declared safest. The air was cool and carried the scent of pine and damp earth. For a short while it almost felt normal.That feeling ended when we rounded the corner near

Chapter: 50. What the Bond Means
EdricThe knot held us locked together for a long time.I lay beneath Leon, chest against the mattress, his weight a heavy, living blanket over my back. Every small shift sent another throb through the place where we were joined. The bite on my neck pulsed in time with my heartbeat. It was hot, sore, and strangely alive. I could feel something new under my skin, like a second pulse that didn’t belong only to me.Then the feelings started.At first I thought it was just leftover adrenaline. But the longer we stayed tied, the clearer it became. A low, fierce current of emotion that wasn’t mine kept brushing against the edges of my mind. Possessiveness. Protection. A deep, almost stunned satisfaction. And underneath it all, a bright, rising joy that felt completely at odds with the violence of the last hour.I inhaled sharply.Leon noticed immediately. “What is it?”“I can… feel you.” My voice came out rough. “Not just the knot. Something else. Like your emotions are leaking into me.”Hi

Chapter: 49. The Mark
EdricThe message arrived in the middle of the afternoon.I was in Aria’s sitting room helping her sort through a box of old books Leon had ordered when my phone vibrated. The number was unknown, but the preview made my stomach drop.>We need to talk. You’re in over your head with these animals. I can still help you leave. – MMarcus.I stared at the screen long enough that Aria noticed.“What’s wrong?”“Nothing.” I locked the phone and set it face down. “Spam.”She didn’t look convinced, but she let it go. I waited until I was alone in the corridor before I opened the full message. There were three more waiting.>He’ll get tired of you. They always do.>You saw what he did to me. You think you’re safe?>Answer me, Edric!My hands were unsteady when I deleted the entire thread. I should have told Leon immediately. Instead I stood there longer than I should have, trying to shove the old fear back down where it belonged.I never got the chance to decide how to bring it up.Leon found me

Chapter: 48. The Weight of Knowing
EdricAria did not sleep well that night.I knew because I barely slept either. Every time I closed my eyes I saw the fear on her face when I told her the truth, the way she had backed away from Leon before slowly, carefully, choosing to stay. When I finally drifted off, it was to the solid warmth of Leon’s body curved around mine and the quiet promise that we would handle whatever came next.Morning light was already filtering through the curtains when I woke. Leon was gone from the bed, but the sheets on his side were still warm. I found him standing near the window, already dressed, speaking in a low voice to someone on the other end of a call. He ended it as soon as he saw me sit up.“How is she?” he asked.“I haven’t checked yet.” I rubbed a hand over my face. “She took it better than I expected by the end. But she’s going to have questions. A lot of them.”Leon nodded. “Answer what you can. I’ll speak with her again if she wants. No pressure.”I dressed and went to the east wing

Chapter: 47. What We Are
EdricAria had been restless all morning.She had color in her cheeks again and enough energy that staying cooped up in the east wing was starting to feel like another kind of hospital. When she asked if we could walk the grounds, I hesitated only a moment. Leon had increased patrols. The private gardens and the nearer paths were supposed to be safe. I told myself a short walk in the open air would do her good.I was wrong about how quiet it would stay.We left through the side entrance nearest her rooms, following a gravel path that wound between old trees and low stone walls. The air was cool and clean. Aria linked her arm through mine and breathed it in like something precious."This place is beautiful," she said. "Even if half the people in it look at us like we're a disease.""Ignore them," I told her. "Most of them won't say anything to your face."I should not have spoken so soon.We had not gone far when a small group of younger wolves, three men and two women, came down the p
