The Professor's Forbidden Mate
Love knows no boundaries, but some lines are never meant to be crossed...
Delilah Hunt never imagined her scholarship to the prestigious Nocturne Academy would lead her to her mate. At eighteen, she’s determined to focus on her studies and escape her modest upbringing. But everything changes when she meets Elias Grey—her enigmatic professor and the man fate has destined to be her mate.
Elias is everything Delilah shouldn’t want: older, impossibly wealthy, and bound by the expectations of his family.
As the heir to the powerful Grey legacy and the son of Nocturne’s intimidating dean, Elias knows the risks of pursuing Delilah. Yet the pull of the bond is irresistible.
Stolen glances and secret conversations soon turn into clandestine meetings; however, their secret love is threatened when Elias faces mounting pressure from his father to marry Claudia Castille, a match that would secure his family’s influence but shatter his heart.
Caught between duty, desire, and destiny, Delilah and Elias must decide how far they’re willing to go to protect their love. But in a world where everyone claims they shouldn’t be together; will their bond hold or will one be forced to reject the other?
"Forbidden? Maybe. But if fate brought me to you, who are we to defy it?"

Chapter: Predator and PreyEliasAugustus stood stock still as I hovered over him in my wolf form. I was told once or twice before that my wolf looked like the devil himself. They were exaggerating, of course, but from how my best friend’s face went deathly pale, I had to wonder if they were onto something.Saliva dripped from my maw onto his shoulder, and my breath warmed his face. Augustus’s eyes stayed planted on the forest floor as a sign of respect and submission.I growled menacingly just to be an ass for all the ribbing he gave me earlier about my mate.“E-Elias…don’t do this,” he begged, voice barely above a whisper. I let him sweat it for a couple of minutes before nudging his head with my snout.I shifted and couldn’t help but laugh when Augustus collapsed onto the ground.“That’s not funny, asshole. I thought I was about to be puppy chow.”“It serves you right, and see what happens to you the next time you call me a fucking idiot,” I said, leaning against a large boulder with my arms crossed over my

Chapter: PunchAn Hour EarlierDelilah“Okay. Don’t peek yet,” Sabrina demanded, forcing me to face away from the mirror. She spent the last two hours, preening me for the mixer I was being forced to attend against my will. I had plans to finish unpacking and curling into bed with a book, but my eccentric roommate and self-proclaimed new best friend had other plans for me. “Are you ready?”“I’m as ready as I’ll ever be,” I said anxiously.“You sound nervous, but you shouldn’t be. Trust me; I worked my magic and you’re now one of the hottest girls on campus.”I snorted and wondered what fantasy world she was living in. There was nothing extraordinary about my looks, and you wouldn’t see a guy do a double-take when he walked by, which was fine with me because there was nothing wrong with being average.“Okay. Turn on three. One…two…three!”Sabrina whirled me around and my breath caught as I stared at myself in the mirror. I was stunned speechless. My mouth moved, but the words never tumbled out as I s

Chapter: The MixerEliasI stared at myself in the mirror and curled my top lip in disgust as I tied my tie. “You’re so fucking weak,” I muttered, chastising myself for not being able to resist my student.Trying to keep my eyes off her during the assembly was grueling, and I was certain the mixer I was forced to chaperone wouldn’t be any easier. Personally, I thought babysitting adults was unfathomable, but a few mixers in the past had gotten out of hand when alcohol was involved, leading to young, destructive, entitled wolves shifting and tearing each other apart for the simplest infraction. A few years ago, a student was put in the infirmary for three days because he accidentally asked the wrong girl to dance. Her alpha mate was mate possessive and it took five guards to pull him off the poor kid. Lawsuits were filed against the academy: one by the victim’s parents for failure to protect to their son, one from the offender’s parents due to his expulsion, and another from the girl’s parents due to ex

Chapter: Meeting Sabrina BlackwellDelilahI pinched the bridge of my nose and sighed after examining the outfits lying on my bed. I was supposed to attend the Nocturne Academy’s Back to School Mixer in an hour, and feared that even my best outfit would look like absolute rags compared to the other girls. I could picture the girls wearing designer clothes and heels fresh off the runway, and toting handbags worth as much as a semester’s tuition.“I’m not going,” I sighed to myself.I tensed when I heard the front door to my dorm suite open.“Delilah?” a feminine, but firm voice called out. “D? Are you here?” A faint smile tugged at the corner of my lips. “Knock, knock,” the girl I assumed to be my roommate said after rapping her knuckles against my open door.I opened my mouth to greet her, but couldn’t find the words. She was just that…striking. She was slender and tall, with pale, delicate skin like a porcelain doll and bright amber eyes shrouded behind long, black lashes. Her smile was blinding, distracting me from he

Chapter: New Student OrientationEliasI sat on the stage with our most tenured professors and administrators as the new batch of incoming students began filing into the auditorium. I watched them carefully, taking note of how they carried themselves, their temperament, and who they conversed with.Augustus leaned over and whispered in my ear, “Are you looking for your little mate?” he asked teasingly.“Shut the fuck up,” I growled lowly, hoping our cohorts didn’t overhear him.“You’re drawing attention to us,” he said accusingly as if he weren’t the one who started it.Augustus had been my friend since our first shift, and he’d been nothing but a pain in the ass ever since. He was the worst kind of troublemaker and could charm himself out of any situation. He was quick-witted, intelligent, and vengeful when you pissed him off, but he was also fiercely loyal and insightful. He was someone you’d want in your corner when your back was up against the wall.“No, it is you drawing attention,” I replied, keeping my eye out

Chapter: The WarningDelilah“So, what do you think?” Julian asked after pushing open the door of my shared dorm suite. My mouth popped open in shock. I was surprised at how spacious the room was. “Don’t be shy; check it out,” he urged, pushing me gently.The suite was large and pristine, with a tastefully decorated living room and chic furnishings that appeared to cost a fortune.“This is so beautiful,” I whispered as I ran my hand over the back of the couch.“Your roommate took the liberty of decorating.”I left the living room for the kitchen and was amazed at the top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances. I opened the refrigerator and gawked at the abundance of fresh fruits, vegetables, and meats.“W-who is my roommate again?”“Let’s see,” Julian said as he typed away on his phone. “Ms. Sabrina Blackwell is your roommate. Ms. Blackwell’s family is one of the wealthiest families in the country because they own multiple mineral and precious gem mines worldwide. The Blackwells are the largest producers
