Chapter 1

Penulis: Dream’s Dawn
When I said I wanted to end our bond, Trevor froze for a moment, standing in the doorway. His eyes darkened with displeasure.

“Lara, what nonsense are you spouting now?”

Behind him was his student, Rin. Her eyes shimmered with tears and her voice trembled as though she would shatter at the slightest touch.

“Luna, please don’t misunderstand Professor Vale. I just came back from the border. I have no parents, no home… nowhere to go. Please let me stay just for one night.”

She tried to bow to me, but before she could bend forward, she stumbled to the side, looking as if she might collapse at any moment.

I instinctively reached out to steady her. “It’s fine. I don’t mind. You can stay here for now…”

Smack!

Trevor’s hand came down hard, slapping mine away.

“Don’t pretend to be some saint. Weren’t you the one who caused all those injuries in the first place? And now you dare speak to her with that tone, like you’re being kind?”

He brushed past me, dragging her suitcase along.

The bond that once warmed me now felt cold as ice.

When he turned to Rin, his voice softened.

“Rin, don’t pay her any mind. You still smell of blood. Go wash up. Your wounds aren’t healed yet. I asked the healer to prepare a bath with moonflowers. It’ll help.”

She nodded obediently and slipped into the bathroom. Soon, her timid voice drifted out from the half-open door.

“Professor… I don’t want to be alone in here. I’m afraid my wolf spirit will collapse.”

“It’s all right,” Trevor answered in a low voice. His patience was so palpable it made me hold my breath. “I’ll wait right outside. Call me if you need anything.”

I watched him close the door behind her with tender care, only for his eyes to turn ice-cold the moment they met mine.

I parted my lips. There were a thousand words on the tip of my tongue, but in the end only one line came out.

“Trevor… let’s end our bond.”

A short, mocking laugh escaped him, like I had just told a joke.

“Lara, you made a mess of everything and think you can just walk away? If you hadn’t let jealousy cloud your judgment and sent her off, she never would’ve been attacked at the border. Do you even know what I saw when I found her?”

His voice grew louder, with every word lashing me like a whip.

“She was covered in wounds. Her clothes were soaked red with blood, even her wolf spirit was whimpering in weakness. How much more do you plan to torment her?”

The weight of his disappointment and blame made my ears ring. I had no strength left to argue.

Silence hung heavy until the sound of running water stopped. Then Rin’s voice rang out again.

“Professor Alpha, I’m done washing and I’m putting on the medicine… but I still can’t get to the injuries on my back. Could I trouble you again?”

My eyes widened in disbelief.

Before I could turn to see his expression, something struck my forehead with a dull thud. It was a jar of expensive healing salve.

Trevor’s brow was furrowed with irritation.

“Lara, what’s that look for? There’s nothing sordid between me and Rin. Go on. Help her yourself.”

He stormed off, leaving me standing there. It took several deep breaths before I forced myself to open the door.

Rin sat in the tub, a towel pressed to her chest and her back bare under the light.

My eyes fell on her skin. There were no burns or knife wounds, nor the vicious claw marks I had imagined.

Instead, scattered across her shoulders and back were red marks. Some were faint and some were deep.

Were those… Kiss marks?

My hand shook as I dipped my fingers into the cold salve.

I tried to be gentle, but the moment I touched the faintest mark, she shivered as though she was struck by lightning and let out a soft, stifled moan.

“Professor, it hurts.”

The words cut through me like a blade.

I remained silent.

When no reply came, Rin suddenly turned.

When she saw me, the look on her face changed. She bit her lip and shrank back towards the corner of the tub.

“Luna…? I thought you were resting… that’s why I called the professor! Please don’t misunderstand. There’s nothing between us!”

Her slight movement revealed more of her bare skin and the telltale signs of something far too intimate.

My gaze remained locked on her, unable to turn away. A painful suspicion clawed at my heart, but I did not even have the courage to say it aloud.

Finally, with a raw, hoarse voice, I forced the words out, “Tell me… has it always been Trevor who tended to your wounds?”

  • The Alpha Professor's Regret: He Begged for My Return   Chapter 10

    A flash of feral malice lit up in Rin’s eyes.Every one of her deeds had been exposed across the entire alliance through The Wolf Tribune.The so-called rogue wolves’ ambush was nothing but a staged performance, with hired actors playing the parts. The alleged shattering of her wolf spirit was a trick of dark sorcery she had orchestrated herself.Even the research that had once left me in awe, it had all been stolen by her.From the very beginning, the entire thing had been a lie.Rin threw her head back and laughed. Her laughter was sharp, eerie and completely unhinged.“So what if I’ve played the highest-born Alpha’s Luna for a fool?“The little one in my belly? It’s his pup!”The moment she said that, the surrounding wolves erupted in chaos, and even I froze in place.The heart I thought had long since gone numb twitched painfully, betraying me.I had assumed that, no matter how blind he was, Trevor would never… go this far with an Omega.In an instant, Trevor shifted in

    The reporter from The Wolf Tribune had promised to release the story an hour before my flight.Now the scandal surrounding Rin had detonated across the entire werewolf network. Media outlets from every major pack were furiously amplifying what could only be called a historic scandal.However, I did not expect Trevor to pursue me to the airport.“Lara! Lara! Where are you? I was wrong!“Please don’t leave me!”The huge terminal echoed with his cries, raw with despair and pain.Other werewolves nearby recognized him and their whispers grew louder.“Isn’t that the Alpha of the Blackstone Pack? What happened to him?”“Didn’t you see the news? He kicked out his Luna, their bond witnessed by the Moon Goddess, for a fake Omega! I’ve never heard anything like it!”I pulled my hood low and hurried through the boarding gate.The guards followed protocol. “Lara Blythe? Please remove your hood for a wolf spirit signature check.”Someone behind me heard my name and shouted, “Lara’s ove

    Trevor forced down the agitating feeling in his chest and spoke to her in a gentle, soothing voice. He then brought out the calming potion prescribed by the healer, mixed it with warm water and handed it to her.However, Rin clenched her teeth and refused, “Professor… I have a pup in my belly. I’d better not drink it yet. I’ll be fine after a nap.”Trevor wanted to guide her to the master bedroom. It was warmer and better for the pup, but Rin seemed surprisingly sensible, heading toward the guest room on her own, as if worried that Luna might be upset if she knew.He regretted that he did not intervene when Lara had first suggested recommending Rin to the Neutral Territory Academy.Lara had insisted Rin was a rare genius who deserved a broader horizon.However, she had forgotten that Rin was just an Omega from a remote pack. Even with her excellent performance at the Pack Academy, her deep-seated insecurity and timidity could not match the wolves raised in elite households.How c

    He yanked me, and I stumbled. My gaze passed over his shoulder to see Rin sitting on the couch, quietly eating a rare Moonfruit.Her lower belly was slightly rounded. The moment she noticed me, she quickly rose to her feet and spoke timidly, “Luna… you’re back.”My eyes hesitated as they fell on her stomach. Werewolf pregnancies were short. By the looks of it, she was already nearly two months along.Tears instantly welled up in Rin’s eyes and she instinctively cradled her abdomen.“Luna, the pup is innocent. I-I want to keep it.”I paused for a moment then let out a bitter, hollow laugh. “You want to carry the offspring of those rogue wolves? Or… the Alpha’s heir?”The words barely left my mouth when Trevor’s guilt-stricken expression vanished, followed by a sharp reprimand, “Lara! How can you say that? I haven’t even touched her.“Rin lost her parents when she was young. What’s wrong with wanting to have her own bloodline?!“She’s done nothing wrong. The only one at fault i

  • The Alpha Professor's Regret: He Begged for My Return   Chapter 6

    Unlike many werewolves who awakened freely, every stage of my life had been tightly bound to Trevor.When I finished my studies and was about to accept a teaching offer from the Neutral Territory Academy, Trevor proposed a mate bond to me during the Moon Festival.Under the moonlight, the eyes of the entire pack were on us.I accepted his mark, became his Luna and, in doing so, gave up that chance.Though my years as Luna were filled with glory and sweetness, whenever I sat alone in the pack’s library, paging through old texts, I could not help but wonder what kind of life I would be living now if I had chosen a different path.However, once the wheel of fate began to turn, there was no turning it back.Thus, when I first met Rin, my instinct was to hand that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity over to her.Now, as I cut ties with my past and prepare to leave, that same opportunity had come back around to me.This time, I would finally get to choose for myself.I replied in a soft

    Meanwhile, files kept popping up on my phone. I scrolled through them one by one. The look on my face turned from stunned disbelief to a bittersweet sense of relief.“Lara! Professor Vale has been completely deceived by that fraud. You have to tell him the truth!”As I stared at the documents, the crushing weight I had carried in my chest for so long finally lifted.I did not shatter a genius, nor did I betray the calling of the Luna.I felt like a drowning person finally breaking free from the depths, gasping in fresh air.However, my breathing had barely settled when my mind dragged me back to that scene — Trevor, standing before the enforcers, chose to cast me aside.The ruthless determination in his expression severed the last fragile thread of our mate bond, leaving nothing between us.Whatever we had as mates was over.I whispered into the phone, “Mr. Lane, I’ll explain later.”After all, the people who framed me and tried to hurt me had to be dealt with first.
