CLARISSA

The blade was still inside me, and I couldn't scream anymore. I coughed up blood, pain shooting through my chest. The whole place tilted, and I collapsed to the ground. The cold seeped into my lungs, numbing the fire in my blood, slowly stealing the strength from my limbs as well as my consciousness.

Zion's face hovered over mine while my version blurred at the edges.

I reached for him, my fingers trembling. "Don't—" I tried. But the word didn't make it past my lips.

And then... everything fell away into darkness. At first, everything was bleak and empty, but then I saw him.

It wasn't the man I loved now but the boy he used to be. He could be fifteen, maybe sixteen. He stood at the edge of a crowd, watching the others train, his shoulders set in rigid defiance. He waited for someone to offer him a place among them. But they didn't.

Only then did I realize I'd been sucked into Jaxon's consciousness.

They kept their distance, watching him with eyes that spoke volumes of h

  • A Baby For My Professor    One Hundred

    JAXON The world outside was blanketed in snow.Thick snow flakes fell in slow spirals, coating the pines in white. Inside the house, the fireplace crackled low.I stood near the window, both hands wrapped around a steaming mug of chocolate. Clarissa made it earlier. She said it was tradition. It tasted so good.The warmth from the cup soaked into my palms, and I stared down at it as if it held answers.Stefan was gone. The Hollow King was defeated. Zion... my son—gods, my son—was finally safe. We were free in every way we never thought we could be.And still, I didn't know what to do with the quiet. I didn’t know how to let go of the war in my chest.I heard her footsteps before I felt her.Clarissa's arms slid around my waist from behind, and her cheek pressed to my back. I went still, just for a second, appreciating her warmth."You're quiet," she murmured. Her voice was softer now. "Everything okay?"I set the mug down and placed my hands over hers."I don't know how to be o

  • A Baby For My Professor    Ninety Nine

    ZION The second we stepped through the fractured veil, I felt it. The aura of magic that felt wrong. I saw him then. My father. Dorian and Dante had him pinned to the ground, but barely. He was thrashing under their grip, but he wasn’t being fuelled by anger. Mum choked out a cry when she saw him. His body was fighting itself the way a wolf does when rabies takes hold. Only this…this was the aftermath of something worse. Void rot combined with the power of the eclipse wolf wrestling under his skin. He was so strong. Ordinary people wouldn’t have lasted this long. Like hell would I let him end in misery."Get off him,” I barked, already moving.The twins hesitated just for a second. Just long enough for me to see the fear in their eyes, and it pissed me off."He's not your enemy," I snapped. "He's my father.”Dorian growled under his breath, but they released him.And I dropped to my knees.He was trembling, black veins crawling up his skin. He was much paler than I’d ever seen

    CLARISSA Jaxon was burning up again. His skin radiated heat as I brushed my fingers across his forehead, tracing the edge of his hairline. His jaw clenched and a low moan escaped his lips as he tossed against the sheets. Fever dreams had claimed him, and it killed me to see him like this.I stroked his damp hair, gently pressing a kiss to his temple. "I'm sorry," I whispered against his burning skin. "I have to save you... even if it costs me everything."His body tensed as if he'd heard me, and for a moment I stayed still, watching the frown settling in between his brows. He was fighting so hard even in his sleep.A hesitant knock broke the silence and the door opened before I could respond.Dante.He stepped in slowly, his body tense with anxiety. His eyes darted over to Jaxon, then to me, and the worry etched deep into his face mirrored my own."How bad is it?" he asked in a hushed voice."Worse." I didn't sugarcoat it. I couldn't afford to. "The Eclipse Wolf is pressing i

    JAXON The morning light seeped in through the frostbitten windows, illuminating the living room. My fingers twitched at my sides as I stared at the paper stretched across the coffee table glistening with the ink I'd used to translate the scroll.“You’re saying you were able to read it the moment you opened the scroll?” Clarissa asked, and I nodded.Giving me a smile, she picked up the paper and read its contents aloud.“To sever the power of the hollow king, one must willingly bind their soul to the entity, allowing it to be drawn into mortal flesh. From there, the anchor must wield their power to cast it into the Void."She let out an exhale. And then she said it."I'll do it."I blinked slowly, in disbelief."What?" I asked in a low voice.She met my gaze. "It has to be done. I can hold him. I can draw it in. I can survive it."Her statement hit me like a fucking freight train.No.No. No. No.I slammed my hand into the wall. The sound cracked through the silence like a gunshot

    CLARISSA The palace was too silent. There was not a single shuffle of guards. It felt like we were stepping into the graveyard. I pushed the heavy double doors open, my heartbeat pounding in my ears, unsure of what sight to expect.But what I saw stopped me cold.The Alpha King lay sprawled on the polished marble floor, his throat torn wide open, blood pooling beneath his unmoving body like a black halo.And Callum stood over him, his hands soaked scarlet. His eyes... they were pitch black, and there was not a hint of remorse or humanity.Annoyance blazed inside of me."Welcome, children of fate," he said, but it wasn't his voice.The Hollow King.I tensed up, and Zion stepped forward protectively, his shoulders tense.The Hollow King—wearing Callum's body like a borrowed coat—smiled. But his eyes stayed dead and emotionless."I'll save us all some time," he said, stepping over the corpse as if it were nothing but a broken piece of furniture. "Hand over the scroll."I kept my ch
