Faye's POVAfter that day, I turned down all of Leander's secret invitations.He asked me aggrieved: Why.Why? Doesn't he know why? !I'm not going to tell him because he's too good. That night he f.ucked me so hard with his tongue and his fingers that I couldn't walk or get out of bed.I can only imagine Leander's arrogance. No way!Also, I really have a lot of things to do.Because I'm about to enroll in Silver Moon University.It's one of the things I'm most looking forward to. I've treasured the opportunity to go back to college since I tore up my college offer. Especially since this opportunity was given to me by my mother and Louis.By the way, my mother also helped me rent a small apartment near the school. The university is some distance from our home. I will always live in this small apartment in the future, especially when I am busy with my studies.Leander found me as soon as he heard the news.“It'll be easier for us to date, baby,” he whispered.I knew what he meant. I ro
Faye's POV"Liam, why is it you?" I exclaimed in surprise, forgetting where I was and standing up from my seat.The classroom erupted in a buzz of noise, and people started murmuring."Who is this girl? Why is she so rude?""She's Leander's fated mate!""Yeah, that's her... She's just normal. How does she deserve Leander?"I could hear all these comments, and my face felt like it was about to explode with embarrassment. I wished I could just disappear into the ground.Damn, this was so humiliating! What was I even surprised about? It's not the first day that I knew that Liam was a teacher at this university. But no one had told me that he was a chemistry teacher and that he taught the most popular elective course!"Excuse me, young lady, please don't disrupt the class. Take your seat!" Liam's voice, as cold as ever, echoed through the crowded classroom.His unfamiliar tone felt like a slap in the face in front of everyone. I slumped back into my seat, and Nathan, who was sitting next
Faye's POVLiam happened to turn around and saw me giving Ashley the middle finger.His expression darkened even more. "Faye! Please mind your language and behavior."I rolled my eyes. "That b.itch insulted me and falsely accused me. Why aren't you doing anything about her?""Who is she?" Liam asked indifferently. "If she were my stepsister, I would deal with her as well."Strangely, his words somehow smoothed over my anger.Hedy messaged me, asking if I was okay and whether Liam was going to punish me. For some reason, the word "punishment" made my heart race.I typed slowly on my phone, "No, he won't. He's my stepbrother. Don't worry."Hedy quickly replied, "That's right! But now we can't have lunch together (crying face). You go with the teacher, and we'll catch up in the afternoon!"I replied with an "OK" and then put my phone in my pocket. I obediently followed Liam as we left the classroom."Liam, where are we going now?""At school, please call me Dr. Sheffield," Liam said with
Faye's POVI took a sniff, and the scent of rain-soaked grass lingered on the tip of my nose.That's the one.I have to admit, Liam was indeed a great teacher! In the laboratory, there was no restriction to our identities, no past conflicts, just a teacher and a student, a relationship of guidance and learning. I also put aside any distractions and followed Liam step by step in the experiment.However, along the way, we would occasionally stop to exchange ideas or have some physical contact when we both reached for the same thing. At such times, tiny ripples would form in my heart.I shook the test tube in my hand, and the liquid inside gradually turned a light shade of green due to the chemical reaction."I'm done," I said, raising the test tube to show Liam.Liam also completed his final step. "I'm done too. Let's take a look at your creation first."He took the test tube from me and sniffed it. "It has a very fresh scent," he remarked.I eagerly anticipated him saying more. "What e
Liam's POVThat's when I found out I was a dark, shady pervert.The day after Faye's birthday, when I met Leander, I felt like he was moping.I asked him what was wrong.He says that because Faye is starting school soon, they will be spending less time together.“And...” he hesitated.I couldn't help asking. But Leander says“Nothing”.What he's trying to say, however, is that he has little chance of meeting Faye in the middle of the night.I patted him on the shoulder as a consolation, but I was about to go crazy with jealousy. As twins, why was Leander so lucky to be a fated mate with Faye when I wasn't?I've never hated my chaotic olfactory system so much, and if it hadn't been for that...That night, we slept in our room as usual. I took an early shower, and instead of using my own body wash, I used Leander's.I also used a reagent that I had prepared in advance, one that would mask my smell for 48 hours.After the shower, I purposely left my hair unkempt, letting it stretch more l
Faye's POVAfter running out of Liam's office, I wandered around the campus like a lost soul.It was my first day of school, and although I had visited the university a few times before, I was not familiar with the place. I dressed strangely, wearing an oversized shirt and ill-fitting men's shorts, which drew stares and whispers from onlookers.I kept my head down, hands shielding my face, trying to avoid the curious glances of strangers while hiding my tears. I didn't want to be here anymore, or more precisely, I didn't want to be in the same place as Liam.I had been wrong all along, repeatedly hoping that Liam would change his attitude towards me.I even fantasized that he would become my fated mate, just like Leander. But all I got in return was disappointment and pain. Everything he said in the lab had felt like a series of sharp knives cutting into me.At that moment, I was most grateful to my mom for renting that apartment for me. All I wanted now was to return to my little san
Faye's POVLiam and Christine appeared to be having an argument, and the situation seemed somewhat chaotic. Hedy noticed that something was amiss because Liam didn't even acknowledge her greeting."Are they... arguing?" Hedy asked uncertainly."I don't know," I tried to usher her away from the scene. "Couples have their issues. We can't really tell."Hedy nodded but still seemed hesitant. She glanced at me. "But...""Let's go," I took the lead, leaving the cafe.Before leaving, I faintly heard Christine say, "Is it because of her?"My heart skipped a beat, and I couldn't resist looking back at Liam. Our eyes briefly met and then quickly averted. Liam was holding Christine's arm and led her away. It appeared that Liam was afraid of me finding out something.I lowered my head and continued walking silently. I felt a sense of disappointment, but more than that, I felt a sense of calm. I knew I had been thoroughly disappointed.Before the end of the day, our professor assigned us our firs
Liam's POVWhen Leander and I were kids, we were both mischievous, and I was even more mischievous than my younger brother. One day, I sneaked into my dad's study.I rummaged through the study, finding nothing interesting, and soon grew bored. As I was about to leave, I discovered an old photo frame in one of the drawers.I looked at the photo inside, and it featured two people. One of them was my dad, Louis, who was the alpha of the Silver Moon pack. The other person had an arm casually draped over my dad's shoulder, and they looked very close. However, I had never seen this man before.I took the frame and went to ask my dad, "Daddy, who is this person?"Once my dad saw the photo clearly, he snatched the frame away and shouted at me, "Where did you get this?!"I was frightened and nearly forgot to cry as I stammered, "I found it in your study.""No more going into my study to play! Do you hear me?" My dad continued to yell.I sobbed, "Yes...""And remember, the person in the photo i
