Jaxon's POV

The sound of shattering glass from my father's office sent ice through my veins. Maya's power had exploded outward like a bomb, and now the entire pack house was plunged into darkness.

"Maya!" I shouted, rushing toward the office with Ronan close behind me.

"Don't move another step," my father's voice commanded from the darkness. "Or I slit her throat."

Emergency lighting flickered on, casting evil shadows across the walls. I could see Maya standing in the center of the room, silver light blazing from her eyes, her claws fully extended. Three guards lay unconscious on the floor, thrown back by her power. But my father still held that knife to Selene's throat.

"Dad, let her go," I said, stepping into the room with my hands raised. "This isn't you."

"Isn't it?" Damien laughed, and the sound was nothing like the father I remembered. "You have no idea who I really am, Jaxon. Who any of us really are."

"Then tell me," I said, moving slowly closer. "Explain why you're thr

    Ronan's POV "Maya, I've been teaching at this university for five years. I've never, not once, felt anything inappropriate for a student. But you..." I shook my head, frustrated by my inability to find the right words. "From the moment I saw you in that hallway with Jaxon, something inside me recognized you. The mate bond hit me like a freight train." "Professor Ronan..." "Just Ronan," I said softly. "When we're alone like this, you don't have to use my title." She bit her lower lip, a gesture that sent heat straight to my groin despite the inappropriate timing. "This is so wrong. You could lose your job. I could get kicked out of school." "I know all the reasons this is a terrible idea," I said, reaching out to take her hand before I could stop myself. Her skin was soft and warm; touching her sent electricity up my arm. "But I can't seem to care about any of them when I'm with you." Maya stared down at our joined hands, her breathing becoming shallow. "What are you saying?

    Ronan's POV Rage burned through my veins like liquid fire. The sight of Jaxon leaning over Maya, his hand cupping her face so intimately, made my wolf snarl with possessive fury. The books I'd been carrying slipped from my grip and hit the floor with a loud thud. "Get away from her," I growled, my voice dropping to the dangerous Alpha tone that made lesser wolves submit immediately. Jaxon straightened up but didn't back down, his own Alpha blood rising to meet my challenge. "She's awake, Uncle. I was just.." "I can see exactly what you were doing." I stepped into the room, letting the door slam shut behind me. The flowers in my other hand were getting crushed in my grip, but I didn't care. "Maya needs rest, not whatever inappropriate advance you were making." "Inappropriate?" Jaxon's blue eyes flashed with anger. "She's my mate too, Ronan. You don't get to decide what's appropriate for her." Maya looked between us with wide, frightened eyes. The heart monitor beside her be

    Jaxon's POV "I felt it the moment I saw you at the bar. Before I knew your name, before I knew you'd be part of my family. The Moon Goddess has a twisted sense of humor, doesn't she?" Maya bit her lower lip, a gesture that made my cock twitch in my jeans. "What does this mean for us? I mean, we're family now, even if we're not blood related." "I don't know," I admitted. "All I know is that I can't pretend I don't feel this pull toward you. I've tried, Maya. God knows I've tried to stay away, to treat you like a sister, but I can't do it." She was quiet again, but I could practically see the wheels turning in her head. The silence stretched between us, filled with tension and unspoken desires. "Nurse Patty said you've been here every day," she finally said. "I couldn't stay away. My wolf was going crazy not knowing if you were okay. I barely slept, barely ate. Dad was ready to have me sedated if I didn't calm down." "And Professor Ronan?" Something dark and possessive flared in

    Jaxon's POV My hands shook as I gripped the white roses tighter, their thorns digging into my palm through the plastic wrapping. Three days. Three fucking days of sitting in that sterile waiting room, watching the clock tick by like torture. Every time a doctor walked past, my heart jumped into my throat, wondering if this was the moment they'd tell me something was seriously wrong with Maya. The guilt had been eating me alive. If I hadn't been such an ass to her when she first arrived at the pack house, maybe she wouldn't have been so stressed. Maybe she wouldn't have collapsed on her first day of university, scaring the hell out of everyone. "You can see her now," Nurse Patty said, appearing in the doorway with that knowing smile she always wore. "But remember what I told you about keeping things calm." I nodded, not trusting my voice. My wolf had been pacing inside me like a caged animal ever since Maya collapsed. The mate bond made it impossible to stay away, even when the log

    Maya's POV Great. Just what I needed to be known as the crazy girl who hallucinated about werewolves on her first day. "But that's not the interesting part," Patty continued, her eyes practically sparkling with intrigue. "It's your visitors that have everyone talking." "Visitors?" "Oh honey, you should see the drama playing out in our waiting room. Every single day, like clockwork, two very handsome young men show up to see you. And let me tell you, there's been some tension." My heart started beating faster, and the monitor beside me began beeping more rapidly. "Two men?" "Jaxon Cross, that's the ice hockey player, tall and blonde with the most gorgeous blue eyes. Then there's Professor Ronan, dark hair, green eyes, looks like he stepped out of some romance novel." Patty fanned herself dramatically. "Thank goodness, that man is fine." Even in my weakened state, heat flooded my cheeks. The feelings I'd had for both of them in my dreams felt incredibly real. Too real. "They've

    Maya's POVWhite ceiling tiles stared back at me, each one perfectly square and boring. My head felt like someone had stuffed it with cotton balls, and my mouth tasted like I'd been chewing on sandpaper for weeks. Where was I?The steady beep of machines filled the quiet room. A heart monitor. An IV drip. The antiseptic smell that screamed hospital hit my nose, making me scrunch up my face in disgust."Oh good, you're finally awake!" A cheerful voice made me turn my head slowly. A nurse with kind brown eyes and graying hair smiled at me from the doorway. Her scrubs were covered in tiny cartoon wolves, which seemed oddly fitting given my recent... dreams?"Where am I?" My voice came out as a croak, barely recognizable."Blackstone University Medical Center, sweetie. You've been our guest for three days now." She bustled over to check my IV, her movements efficient but gentle. "I'm Nurse Patricia, but everyone calls me Patty."Three days? My brain felt foggy, like trying to see through
