Aliyah's POV

My mind was reeling, a million and one different emotions passing through my mind at the speed of light. Tears started to prick my eyes again and I lowered my gaze from the blinding green pair that held mine.

"Damn!" Leah gushes from beside me.

"That's one hell of a snack," Becca added, voice dripping with reverence.

I could understand. I freaking shared that sentiment myself. My fingers found each other and wrung themselves together, my heart galloping in my chest as the weight of my decisions stamped a path in my mind.

Kelly added to the gushing. "How are the Deville men so freaking hot? I'll definitely snag that if he wasn't my professor."

Becca laughed at the comment. "You're done with Thurnbull already?"

That name gave me pause. Was Kelly interested in Jude?

She waved a hand like it was a nothing. "Oh, please. It's just a little fun." She paused for a second. "Wait, why does he look familiar?"

The words caused me to choke, and suddenly the air in the room felt too

    Aliyah's POV The weight of the phone in my hand felt like a brick. I looked toward the gym where Tyler was supposed to be finishing his drills, then back toward the History wing where I had just left Skylar. The warmth they had kindled in me just minutes ago was replaced by a sharp, biting feeling.If they weren't professors, then what the hell were they? Whyte had called Skylar an Alpha and Tyler a Beta, but I had assumed those were just titles within the "pack" culture. I didn't realize the entire curriculum, the offices, and the very ground I stood on might be a lie.I didn't go back to the apartment. Instead, I ducked back into the library just as the head librarian was locking up for the evening."Forgot my scarf!" I chirped, giving her a wide-eyed look I hoped looked like "I have amnesia."She sighed and gestured for me to hurry. "Five minutes, Aliyah. The night janitors are coming in."I bolted down to the basement archives. My heart was thumping against my ribs. I didn't need

    Aliyah's POV The morning air in Silver Haven was crisp, carrying the scent of pine. I stood at the iron gates of Rising Moon College, my fingers trembling as I adjusted the strap of my messenger bag.I couldn't go back to my classes. The doctors had been clear: the stress of trying to force my brain to remember complex literature or historical dates would only trigger more of the blinding migraines that left me curled in a ball on Tyler’s bathroom floor. But I couldn't stay locked in that apartment anymore. "You're just here to help with the archives, Aliyah," I whispered to myself, taking a breath. "Just paperwork. Just busy work."I walked toward the administration building, my eyes scanning the faces of students passing by. They looked at me with a mix of pity and curiosity. I was the girl who had forgotten her own life. "Aliyah! Over here!"I turned to see Tyler standing by the fountain. He looked breathtaking in a dark charcoal sweater, his black hair gathered in that familiar

    Aliyah's POV The coffee shop had been a disaster, a whirlwind of faces I didn't know and threats I couldn't understand. But Tyler’s apartment? Tyler’s apartment was a sanctuary. After a day of waffles, soft music, and a bath that felt like being wrapped in liquid silk, the world outside Silver Haven felt like a distant, fading dream.I lay in his bed, the sheets smelling of him, cedar and rain. My head was tucked into the hollow of his shoulder, and his heartbeat was a steady, rhythmic drum against my ear."Tyler?" I whispered, my voice thick with sleep."Yeah, baby?" He tightened his arm around me, his hand stroking my hair."Promise me tomorrow will be just like today."He didn't answer right away. He kissed the top of my head, a long, lingering press of his lips. "I’ll do everything in my power to keep you safe, Aliyah. Always."I fell asleep to the sound of his breathing, feeling more loved than I ever thought possible for a girl with no past.---The next morning, the sanctuary

    Aliyah's POVThe morning light didn't sting my eyes like it usually did. Instead, it felt soft, filtering through the heavy curtains of the bedroom. I shifted, expecting the cold, hard mattress of the dorm room, but instead, my cheek brushed against warm skin.I froze for a second, my heart doing a little jump, before the smell of cedar and rain filled my nose.Tyler.I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. The fear from yesterday, Dahlia’s sharp words, the way she looked at me like I was a broken toy, felt a million miles away. Here, under the heavy duvet, the world was just skin and heat.Tyler’s arm was draped over my waist, heavy and solid. It felt like an anchor. I turned slowly, trying not to wake him, but his grip tightened just a fraction."Stop thinking so loud," he rumbled. His voice was rough with sleep, vibrating against my chest.I giggled, tracing the line of a scar on his shoulder. "I'm not thinking. I'm looking.""It's too early for looking." He cracked one eye

    Aliyah's POV The bell above the door gave a final, sharp chime as Dahlia and her followers stepped out into the afternoon light. The silence she left behind was heavy, like a thick blanket that made it hard to draw a full breath. I stared at the door for a long time, my chin still stinging where her sharp nails had dug into my skin."Aliyah? Honey, look at me."I felt Kelly’s hand on my arm. She was shaking. I turned my head slowly, my eyes wide and my chest feeling like it was being squeezed by a giant fist."What is a Zeen wolf?" I asked again. My voice sounded small, like it belonged to a child. "And why did she say I was part of a sacrifice?"Becca reached across the table, her face pale. She pushed my cooling coffee toward me. "She’s just crazy, Aliyah. Dahlia has always been... dramatic. She hates you because you’re beautiful and because the professors actually pay attention to you. She’s just trying to scare you.""She didn't look like she was just trying to scare me," I whisp

  • FORBIDDEN FATE: MY PROFESSORS' MATE   Chapter 66

    Aliyah's POV The smell of roasted coffee beans usually made me feel warm, but today, it just felt like another thing I should remember but didn’t. I sat at a small, round table at ‘The Grind,’ a cozy cafe just off campus. My friends said it's our regular place to go before class. Kelly sat to my left, picking at a blueberry muffin, while Becca sat across from us, nursing a large chamomile tea."You’re doing it again," Kelly said, nudging my shoulder. She leaned in, her chocolate brown hair falling over her shoulder. "The 'Aliyah stare.' Stop thinking so hard, babe. Just breathe in the caffeine and enjoy the vibe."I managed a small smile. "I’m trying. It’s just... everything feels like a movie I watched a long time ago and forgot the plot to. Even this place. I know I’ve been here, but I don't know my favorite order.""Caramel Macchiato with extra foam," Becca said softly, her eyes kind. "And you always complain that it’s too sweet, but then you finish the whole thing anyway.""See?"
