Ravenna’s POV.

I didn’t know what changed. One moment I was about to leave his office. Next, I just knew.

It felt like a part of me had been sleeping all along, and now it was wide awake.

“You’re a Lycan,” I said again, quieter this time, but firmer. “I can feel it. I don’t know how, but I can.”

His face didn’t move at first. Then something flicked through his eyes, a flicker of panic. He blinked once, then it was gone. He straightened and crossed his arms like nothing had happened.

“You’re imagining things,” he said, his voice cold again. “That’s not something to joke about.”

“I’m not joking,” I replied. “And I’m not imagining it.”

“You don’t have a wolf and you aren't my mate,” he shot back. “Only my mate can tell what I am. How could you possibly know what I am?”

“I just do,” I said. “I didn’t feel it before, not even when we were alone together that night. But now I do. Something has changed.”

He stared at me for a long time. The silence stretched until it felt like it was pressing on my chest. He wasn’t denying it anymore. He was just… calculating.

“There’s a law,” I said quietly. “You know what happens to a Lycan if they’re found here. The pack would kill you.”

“Then why are you still talking to me?” His voice was low and careful.

I stepped closer. My heart was racing but I didn’t back down. I didn't mean to take it to this level but I had to because of how desperate I was.

“Because I’m not going to tell anyone,” I said.

“I’ve spent my whole life waiting for this moment. The priestess said a Lycan mate would be the one to awaken my wolf. I’ve waited, and now I know. It’s you.”

He looked at me like I had completely lost it.

“I want you to claim me to awaken my wolf and then train me,” I said, “so I can become stronger. So I can protect myself. So I can stop being the weak, unwanted girl that everyone walks all over.”

He held up a hand.

“Stop.”

I stopped, not because I was afraid, but because his voice made me.

“You think this is some fairy tale?” he said, like he couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “You think just because you found me, everything’s going to magically change for you?”

I didn’t answer right away. I was shaking, but not from fear.

“No,” I said. “But I know what I felt. I know what you are. And I know what I need. I’ve spent my whole life being helpless, and I’m tired of it.”

He didn’t say anything. His jaw worked like he was trying to decide between yelling or walking out. I could see the war was happening behind his eyes.

I took another breath.

“You don’t have to say anything now,” I said. “I’m giving you a week. One week to decide. Help me… or I’ll have to tell the pack what I know.”

His brow lifted slightly. “Is that a threat?”

“No,” I said. “It’s a choice. You know the penalty. I don’t want to expose you. I want your help. But I’m not going to keep waiting forever.”

He didn’t speak. His expression didn’t change, but I saw his jaw clench.

I turned and walked out.

My legs felt weak the moment I stepped into the hallway, but I didn’t let myself stop. I kept walking, even though my chest felt like it was squeezing itself from the inside.

What had I just done?

I had confronted him, pushed him, and challenged him. I could have kept quiet, I could have played it safe, and pretended I hadn’t seen anything. But something inside me said this was it. This was the only chance I had. And I had to take it.

I didn’t understand how I knew he was a Lycan. But I did. And it was just like my mom said once—the priestess had said that when I met him, I would know.

But he hadn’t admitted it, which made it harder. I didn’t have proof, I didn’t have anything except my word in case he still refused and I had to expose him. No one would believe me. Not the pack, not even my mother. They would think I was crazy or desperate.

I was still thinking about that when I turned a corner and nearly crashed into someone. My stomach dropped as I looked up.

It was Lucas, his expression changed to that of anger as our eyes met.

I tried to keep walking past him, but he blocked my way.

“You’re really starting to piss me off,” he said, grabbing my arm.

I yanked it back, but he shoved me. My back hit the wall, and I flinched as he stepped in close.

“You ruined everything,” he said. “Do you know what those rogues did when they came back? They said someone attacked them. Beat the hell out of them. Took you right out of their hands. Then they made me give back their gold.”

I stared at him. My mouth opened, then closed. I didn’t know what to say.

“Who was it?” he asked, voice low. “Who showed up? Who saved you?”

I didn’t answer.

He grabbed my jaw, forcing me to look at him. “You were screwing around, weren’t you? That’s who you went to after the ceremony. Some other guy.”

“I wasn’t yours,” I said through my teeth. “You made that clear when you humiliated me.”

He slapped me. Not hard, but hard enough to sting.

My face jerked to the side. My skin burned, my eyes blurred for a second, but I didn't let him see how much it hurt. My fingers dug into my own palm as I tried not to flinch again.

“You think you’re clever,” he growled. “You think you can play games with me? Tell me who it was or I’ll drag you back to them myself. Let them finish what they started. And this time, I’ll stay and watch.”

Fear spiked through me. My chest went tight and my stomach flipped.

“You’ve got thirty seconds,” he said. “Talk.”

I could barely breathe. My mind raced, looking for something, anything, but I couldn’t think straight. All I knew was that I couldn’t let him take me back there. Not ever.

  • MARKED BY HER LYCAN PROFESSOR   00004.

    Greens' POV.The moment I stepped in, her face told me everything. Her eyes widened and her whole body stiffened like she couldn’t breathe. I could see the thoughts racing through her. I didn’t need to hear them to know what they were. She was panicking. She thought I had come to call her out, maybe punish her, maybe expose what happened between us.But none of that was my intention.I didn’t even know what I was doing there. I had told myself I would stay away from her. She was trouble—not the kind that caused scandals—but the kind that reached beneath the skin. The kind that made a man like me lose control.I had only stepped in last night because she was my mate.And she was burning.If I hadn’t done something, she might have lost herself completely. The heat was too strong for her to handle on her own, and I knew what it meant. After Lucas humiliated her, our mate bond had kicked in like a chain reaction. That was why I followed her. That was why I stepped in.That was why I gave

  • MARKED BY HER LYCAN PROFESSOR   00003.

    Ravenna’s POV.I woke up in a bed that wasn’t mine, my heart pounding as I sat up fast. The sheets were soft beneath me, the pillow still warm where my head had been resting, and beside me was a man. He was still asleep, his face calm and completely unaware that I was staring at him with a rush of panic building inside me.I pulled away quickly, clutching the sheet against my chest as memories from the night before came crashing down. I remembered the room, the ropes, the rogues, and the drug.I remembered his face, how he had come for me, how he had cut me free, and how I had clung to him, shaking and burning and begging.And then I remembered what I had done.I was the one who touched him. I was the one who kissed him. I had begged him to help me because my body felt like it was on fire and I didn’t know what else to do. I had pressed myself against him, had asked for comfort, for touch, and he had been gentle. He had held me and kissed me back.I covered my face with both hands, sh

  • MARKED BY HER LYCAN PROFESSOR   00002.

    RAVENNA’S POV.I woke up to a strange pressure in my arms, a dull ache pulsing from my shoulders down to my wrists, and when I tried to move, I couldn’t. My hands were tied above me, the rope biting into my skin, holding me up by the chandelier in the center of the room. The air was cold, but my skin felt flushed. As my eyes adjusted to the dim light, I realized I wasn’t alone. Several men stood around me, watching—some grinning like they were already enjoying a show I hadn’t agreed to be a part of.One leaned against the wall, twirling a blade between his fingers. Another adjusted a camera on a stand, humming under his breath. The third just stared, wide-eyed, like he was waiting for me to scream.Panic wrapped around my chest, tight and fast.“Please,” I said, my voice hoarse and trembling. “Please let me go. I don’t know what this is. I haven’t done anything to you.”One of the men stepped forward, his eyes trailing over me in a way that made my skin crawl. He tilted his head sligh

  • MARKED BY HER LYCAN PROFESSOR   00001.

    Ravenna’s POV.“Where’s Lucas?” I asked with a hopeful smile, looking around the room filled with pack members. The girl I asked gave a quick shrug and walked away, uninterested. I didn’t let it bother me. It was a big day, after all. The man I loved, Lucas—my fiancé—had just proposed to me the night before, and my heart was still floating somewhere high in the clouds.I finally spotted him in a corner, chatting with a group of his friends. I was about to go over when he suddenly stepped away from them and climbed up to the stage. He had a wine glass in one hand and tapped it gently with a piece of silverware.“Everyone, can I have your attention, please?”The chatter in the hall stopped immediately. Every head turned toward him. Being the Alpha’s son, people always listened when he spoke.“I have an announcement to make,” he said, his voice steady and proud. “I’m getting married.”I smiled, a rush of joy warming my chest. I could feel eyes on me—but I didn’t mind. I was happy to be h
