Tame This Bad Boy, Professor
“What did I promise would happen if you threw another punch, Artemis?” Professor Lucian's silky tone hardened into a dark fascinating baritone.
“Let me see…” Artemis licked his lips with a menacing smile, his cold dark eyes piercing through the professor's oceanic ones. “You said you'll bring me to my knees but something tells me I'll do more than just begging.”
The air in the room shifted as the older man took a step closer.
“Hit me, Artemis,” Lucian took another step closer. “Every second you hesitate, your punishment doubles.”
Artemis lips curled in a smirk as he stepped closer. He raised his hand slowly to the professor's lips but the older man caught it before it could make contact.
An amused chuckle rumbled in his chest.
“Twenty seconds gone, Professor. You better punish me hard,” he smirked.
*******
Artemis McAlester was feared for two reasons. His ability to break anything and his power to own everything. Kingston College was his playground until a red-haired professor with oceanic blue eyes and a dangerous intolerance for spoiled bullies.
Not only did Lucian defy every rule he set, but he was also the one thing Artemis couldn’t own. And that defiance? It was the sexiest thing of all.
Except Lucian wasn't someone he could break. To own the blue-eyed professor, Artemis would have to do the unthinkable. Submit. Break. Let himself be owned.
As long as the only thing between them was desire and pure unadulterated hate.

Chapter: The Stakes Are RaisedChapter 20 The Stakes Are RaisedThe roar of the crowd, the thud of Artemis hitting the canvas - it all faded into a dull thrum in Lucian's ears the moment Artemis uttered Laura's name." Professor, your girlfriend is pretty.” The words as casual as they were landed like punch to the gut. All the color drained from Lucian's face, leaving him cold. He'd known that Artemis was acting too suspicious. Suddenly disappearing from college and now reappearing and saying the most out of pocket things." I don't know what you're thinking but this is between you and I. You'd better leave Laura out of it!” Lucian's growl was low as he warned.Artemis merely hummed, rather amused. “ Hmmphh... So that's her name. Lovely.”He spun on his heel, mounted his bike and with a final, chilling smirk thrown over his shoulder he sped off into the night, leaving Lucian standing alone, the lingering scent of exhaust fumes mixing with the bitter taste of fear.Lucian's mind raced, thinking of the infinite poss

Chapter: A Deadly ComplimentChapter 19A Deadly Compliment One full month, no sightings, no communication, nothing. And now, he just casually waltzes into an underground fight club to challenge him?He wasn't even going to try to reason how Artemis' figured out his true identity.Lucian's lips pressed tightly as he was torn between being relieved and crashing out. Surprisingly, the crowd didn't boo. They were just silent. They knew who he was of course. Who didn't know Artemis McAlester?Apparently, he wasn't just a menace to Kingston but to society as well, but the silence was mostly because of the fear they harboured for his father. Trevor McAlester. If there was a devil in human skin, it was that man and no one wanted to cross him. Even for a reason as petty as booing his son. Artemis entered the ring, without breaking eye contact with Lucian. He pulled off his tank to reveal the lean defined torso covered in sultry tattoos, that stretched down to a slim waist with that tempting v-line in view. Those bla

Chapter: RumorsChapter 18Rumors It had been almost a month and there was still no sign whatsoever of Artemis. Lucian buried himself in work and gym sessions to get his mind off things. Kingston was a bit bearable now. He had taken upon himself to punish any student he caught bullying another and they all returned to their little shells. If the man could deal with Artemis so much that he completely disappeared, then he was capable of making their lives a lot worse. Those were the rumors. That professor Lucian had singlehandedly forced Artemis to drop out. Lucian didn't debunk these claims. As long as the staff and board of directors knew the truth, he couldn't bother himself with convincing a bunch of snorty teenagers and young adults.His office door opened and Laura entered with a bag. Over the past two weeks, she had made herself a regular. Yeah, she did bring something for everyone, every single day, but while she gave others cakes and waffles, she made him an entire course meal. And she li

Chapter: She's CuteChapter 17She's Cute?The next day, Lucian headed to work looking like a corpse. His eyes were drowsy and his head was banging with a wicked migraine. It was a miracle he was even able to move at all. He was headed to his office with his briefcase, a coat draped over his shoulders and a bottle of vodka. He was extra cranky too and might have unconsciously glared at every student that made eye contact with him. It was a relief when his office door came into sight, his name pasted boldly on it. Lucian struggled to get his keys out of his pocket for a few minutes and when he did, it was hard to get the right key to fit in the key hole. “Dammit to hell!” He cursed, ready to throw the stupid keys against the wall when a soft feminine voice came behind him. “Perhaps I can help you with that?” It was the same voice from last night but back then, he had been too absentminded to pay any special as attention to her and now, he was pissed as hell, ready to crash the fuck out and she just

Chapter: A New CrushChapter 16A New CrushLucian headed to the underground club for his fight. He couldn't get Artemis off his mind, so it was going to be the perfect distraction.He pulled on his mask and stepped out of the car. His fans immediately spotted him and crowded him in an instant.Lucian cursed under his breath. He had been so distracted that he forgot he wasn’t supposed to wear his signature mask outside.“Oh my God, it’s Black!!”“Please, sign my gloves!”“What do you think about the match tonight with Colton, the three-time champ?”A flood of questions rained on him as camera flashes lit up the back alley like a red carpet premiere.He pushed through the crowd, jaw clenched. What the hell was Copel doing letting this many people linger out here? The whole point of being a “ghost club” was that no one outside the inner circle was supposed to know who walked through the back door.If cops got wind of this? It wouldn’t just be arrests. It would be bodies.Still, he didn’t have time to care.

Chapter: Where Is ArtermisChapter 15Where Is Artemis?After that fateful night, a lot of things changed. Artemis disappeared and just like when he was suspended, Kingston had a little peace. It was oddly quiet, with everyone looking over their shoulders to make sure he wouldn't just show up and announce his next victim. But he didn't show up. Not today, nor the day after, not even three days later. And it worried everyone, because with Artemis, Kingston had only one demon but with his absence, other little miscreants began to surface and Kingston became a totally different hell.The most affected was Lucian. He couldn't concentrate on anything. The only thing on his mind was Artemis. What was the boy doing? What was he up to?What happened that night flashed in his eyes and he immediately felt guilty. It has been weighing heavy on him since that night and every time, he found himself questioning if he did the right thing. Using the boy's trauma against him was a very low move, even if Artemis deserved it.

Chapter: The DuelThe DuelKAII was panicking already. Today was the day I finally face my sister in battle before the entire MoonCrest academy. I could already see embarrassment staring me right in the face. Me, a wolfless, weak pathetic, wannabe “Lycan” prince against my brilliant, outstanding warrior princess. And of course, the better twin. It didn't matter how hard I trained in the last two weeks, it certainly didn't matter how much sleep I sacrificed. She would also be stronger and better than me. My palms were already getting sweaty.Every breath felt heavier than the last as I stood in the center of the arena, the cheers of hundreds of students echoing around me like thunder. I could feel their eyes on me, whispering, judging, waiting for the inevitable humiliation.“Don't worry, your highness,” Evanna took my hand with a bright smile. “Don't listen to what anyone has to say. I know you can do it. I believe you can do it. So go there and prove them wrong.” A small smile formed on my lips. “

Chapter: He's Different KAII never thought a day would come where I would see Erys like this. I didn't even think it was possible to see him openly hug someone like that. Affectionately too. For some reason, my insides twisted. I didn't understand why I was feeling this way. I was probably confused. Maybe because I have never seen him like this. “What's going on?” Evanna whispered to my ears. “Are you seeing this?” “I am,” I whispered back but my voice came out shaky and I found myself impatiently counting the seconds they remained in each other's arm. All Erys had ever done since we met was threaten and hurt me. Why… why was my chest feeling tight then at the sight of him breaking before another man. “I missed you so much, little brother,” Erys said and my body stiffened. Brother?The tighteness in my chest slowly evaporated. Erys had a brother? And this was… him?“Brother?” Evanna whispered beside me. “How? He is an Alpha wolf. I don't smell any traces of magic in him.” I knew I wasn't tripping. Th

Chapter: ReunionERYSI barely heard what they said during their so called mentorship. My eyes wouldn't leave the redhead. My brain was working overtime, trying to piece two and two together. I spent years looking for him. Everyone I asked told me that my father took him after the ambush. But I knew my father didn't like Rhys that much. He had never shown any form of affection towards him since mother died. In fact, the man was twisted enough to hate his own son for his wife's death. Who knows what he did to him? Hell, he might have even tried to kill him himself. Honestly, I didn't even know how I survived that attack. I just woke up in a pile of bodies, my frail little body covered in blood. Since then, it was just me surviving on my own, until a kind witch family adopted me. But even they were killed. By these heartless wolves. It was the very reason I hated them with every part of my being. They took everything from me. But seeing Rhys here, I wasn't even sure how to feel. Does he remember

Chapter: The Red Haired ManERYSI moved to the front row and as expected, every single person on it moved back. I didn't even care. They could do whatever they wanted. I just wanted to get this over with. On the stage, about six chairs were set around the long table. So we were expecting roughly six guests then. Not sure why they had to be that many but I had a feeling this was going to be the longest lecture of all time. Students continue filling the hall and the scent of wolves and witches mixed together. It was tolerable to an extent as long as it was balanced. From the corner of my eye, I saw someone sitting four seats away from me. On the same row. Gasps followed immediately and I sighed, already knowing who it was. His floral scent followed him everywhere. I glanced at him and those blue eyes were staring back at me. Out of nowhere, his annoying bodyguard sat between us, blocking my view of him. I didn't understand why she was so damn annoying, acting like I was going to jump him any minute. I did

Chapter: A command ERYSMoonCrest Bells woke me up from my sleep. I wasn't sure what they wanted this time but it was really annoying that they had to announce it so early in the morning. “All MoonCrest Students are expected to report in Hall C by 10 am prompt. We will be having important guests today so be on your best behaviour.” I scoffed as the intercom blew the information. Report in Hall C. That hall was only used for mentorship. So I'm guessing whoever these guests were must be really important people. Wolves probably. I rolled my eyes with disgust and fell back on my bed. The way I would prefer to skip this.About an hour later, I was out of bed and preparing for the so-called mentorship. I picked out a shirt and pair of jeans and ran my hands through my hair because I honestly couldn't deal with a comb right now. I opened my door to find Daisy waiting with a huge grin. Disdain curled in my chest but I averted my gaze instead and shut the door behind me.“Good morning, Erys,” she grinned. “

Chapter: The warning EVANNAI turned to her with a puzzled expression. “Were you following me?” I asked her and she rolled her eyes. “Why would I follow you? Don't think too highly of yourself,” she huffed. I furrowed my brows. “Really? Cause the last I remember, you were in the training grounds so it's kind of hard to tell what you are doing behind me now.” “Don't try to be the smart ass,” she hissed. “You have nothing worth following. I was going after Erys and you just happened to be in my way. Now I know you have no business with him so would you mind explaining why you've been following him?” I crossed my arms. “As a matter of fact, I do mind.”Her eyes darkened. She was getting irritated by my insolence. And I couldn't have felt any prouder of myself.“For a mere omega, you sure have audacity. You seem to be forgetting that i can tear apart, limb by limb and no one would question so stop letting your employment status get into your head. You are disposable!” She growled, stepping forward.
