JAXON

The eclipse wolf was getting louder. I clenched my jaw and stared at the wall, willing my pulse to steady even as my vision swam. My fingers dug into the edge of the kitchen counter. The ceramic mug I'd been holding slipped and shattered against the floor.

Great. That was the third thing I'd broken today.

'Weak. You're letting them see it.'

I squeezed my eyes shut, ignoring the thick voice twisting through my skull. It sounded like me, but it was wrong, distorted and crueler.

"Not now," I muttered under my breath, wiping the blood from my nose with the back of my hand before anyone saw.

But Clarissa was already turning towards me from where she stood near the stairs. Her eyes flicked to the crimson smear and narrowed.

"Jax—"

"I'm fine," I cut in, quickly. "Just a headache."

She didn't believe me. I saw it in the way her lips parted slightly like she wanted to call me out on it but didn't know how hard to push. Instead, she let it go. For now.

  • A Baby For My Professor    Ninety Four

    CLARISSA I could feel Jaxon's trembling hands on my shoulders, holding on to me and anchoring me to this world when I was seconds from vanishing into the one inside my mind.I had nearly drowned in that illusion. But his voice had cut right through it and snapped me out of it. But what I hadn't expected was the next words that he uttered."Marry me."I wasn't even sure I had heard it right at first.The chamber was still trembling with magic, and dust was swirling in slow, unnatural spirals in the air. Zion was hunched beside us, his breathing ragged, his eyes wet and unfocused now. But all I could see was Jaxon.He was kneeling in front of me, his eyes red-rimmed and raw.For a second, I couldn't speak. The words wouldn't come."Jaxon," I breathed, his name trembling from my lips.He didn't back down."Clarissa," he said in a hoarse voice. "I don't know if we will make it out of here. I don't know if I will win this war inside me. But I know this. I love you. I've loved you

    CLARISSA The hum of the car was the only sound between us. Jaxon's hand gripped the steering wheel, his knuckles pale. But his gaze kept flicking toward me."You've barely said a word since we left the meeting," he said.I stared out the window, gazing at the orange sky. "I didn't want to say anything until I was sure I wasn't hallucinating.""Clarissa." His voice turned firm. "Talk to me."So I did.I told him about the voice in my head. The way it called me Evie and the way it had begged for help.Jaxon didn't interrupt. Not once.When I finished, I let the silence fall between us again.Then he reached over and rested his hand on my knee."You won't do this alone," he said, his gaze fixed on the road. "Not now. Not ever. We fight this together."Emotions clogged my throat.I reached over and gave his thigh a gentle squeeze. "You're too good for me.""No," he said without missing a beat, flashing me a small, sideways grin. "I'm exactly what you deserve."Gods, I loved him.I

    CLARISSA Lilith screamed.Her blood painted the stone walls of the basement in thick crimson splashes, the sound of her agony echoing off the iron pipes. I didn't flinch. I wanted her to scream. I’d chopped off her hands for daring to touch my baby, and now I would bleed her dry. She deserved it.General Vale lay twisted in a pool of his own gore, his chest carved open like the monster he was. He died too quickly. He should've suffered. But I made sure Lilith felt every second of what she’d stolen from me and my family.Power pulsed at my fingertips, white-hot and blinding, webbing across the floor. Lilith's limbs jerked, and she screamed as my magic scorched her nerves from the inside out."You don't get to die easily," I growled. "You don't get mercy.”Her blood-coated lips moved, mumbling something. A plea? A curse? It didn't matter. I wasn't listening.It was at this point that I felt the warmth that accompanied my mate’s presence.Jaxon. He was here.His hand slid around my

    ZION The moment I saw Lilith holding the child version of myself, the dreadful memories from my timeline filled my head.She had no right. No right to be near him. No right to breathe the same air as him. Not after what she did in my timeline. Not after she butchered children with a smile or when she and her brother dragged my mother's corpse to the Hollow King and made her a bargaining chip.Not after they turned my world into a graveyard.My grip tightened on the doorframe. They should be thankful I wasn't in top condition. But that didn't mean that I would let them have their way. So I moved, faster than they could've predicted.And then I was in front of her. Lilith. My claws sliced through the delicate column of her throat like it was paper. Her eyes widened, and blood spurted across my arm. She tried to scream, but all that came out was a wet, gurgling rasp.I caught the infant—my younger self—before he hit the floor. He blinked up at me with innocence and trust, oblivious

  • A Baby For My Professor    Eighty Nine

    CLARISSA Morning came like a thief after a sleepless night. I hadn't really slept, not with Callum's voice still echoing in my head. I had just breastfed my baby, and he was now sleeping in his grandma’s arms. So I headed out of the room in search of Jaxon."I'm trapped in here, Evie. Please save me."Even now, the words made my skin prickle.Evie.No one had called me that in years. Not since I was a girl with scraped knees and a wild laugh. I shook the thought away and walked down the hallway. Zion's room was just up ahead.The sound hit me first...the sound of his ragged breathing.My pulse spiked.I turned, my heart leaping into my throat, and found him doubled over by the wall, one hand gripping the edge of a dresser for balance. His chest rose and fell heavily like he was trying to ride out his pain. Only one sleeve of his shirt was on, the other was hanging off his sculpted frame. His muscles were straining, sweat sliding down his temple.Jaxon's shirt.I recognized the fabr
