LESSIE

By the time I got back to Professor Dante’s house, I felt like my veins were carrying fire instead of blood.

Everything inside me was trembling — anger, betrayal, confusion, pain.

I didn’t even wait to calm down. The second my foot stepped into the room I had once called mine, the storm inside me broke loose.

I yanked my bag off the chair and threw it onto the bed so hard it bounced back onto the floor.

My chest heaved as I paced the room, staring at the walls, at the desk, at the shadows that had witnessed too much.

I couldn’t breathe. Everything was happening so fast!

The photos! Ethan and his glowing hands, his whispered promises of some truth that chilled me to my core.

Everyone was hiding something. Dante. Ethan. Even Kieran, with his steady eyes and guarded words.

And I was just supposed to sit there? Be their pawn? Pretend I wasn’t breaking apart?

“No!” The word ripped out of me as I grabbed the lamp on the desk and smashed it against the floor.

The crash was deaf

    LESSIE“No, no, no!” My voice tore through the forest like a wailing banshee as I fell to my knees, clutching Kieran’s lifeless body to my chest. My hands shook uncontrollably as I pounded his chest, tapping, begging him to wake, to open his eyes, to move. My tears fell in hot, searing streams, smearing across the dirt-stained skin of his face.“Kieran! Please! Wake up! Don’t leave me! Please!” My sobs shook my entire body. I could feel the weight of him pressing against me, the stillness in his chest, and a surge of fear I’d never known before gripped me like iron chains. My wolf roared inside me, aching, furious, helpless.The world seemed to narrow, everything beyond him fading into shadow. My fists pounded the earth, the air around me shimmering with raw, unstable power. Rage coiled in me, pure and white-hot. My eyes flared with fire, violet and silver light mixing into an untamed storm. I could feel the heat radiating from me, the earth trembling beneath my fury.I stood a

  • The Professor, My Mate   Chapter 25

    LESSIE The altar burned beneath my back, stone cold and yet alive with magic that bit into my skin like fire. My wrists strained against the glowing chains, but every time I pulled, the runes tightened, searing me deeper. I screamed as the witch’s spell crawled through my veins, scorching from the inside out. Through the haze of pain, I caught sight of them. Dante. Kieran.They fought like men possessed, blades flashing, claws raking, fangs bared. MyMy heart split at the sight, the two men I loved in different ways, bleeding for me, dying for me. Their healing was slow, their bodies already scarred, yet neither yielded.“Stop!” I screamed, thrashing against my bonds. “Stop hurting them!”Celeste’s laugh cut through my cries. She loomed over me, dagger glinting in her hand. Her eyes shimmered with madness, her lips curved in that cruel smile.“Why?” I shouted at her, choking on tears. “Why are you so wicked? Why do you watch him bleed when you claim to love him? Does his life mea

  • The Professor, My Mate   Chapter 24

    PROFESSOR CELESTE The forest swallowed us whole.I carried the Moonborn in my arms like an offering, her limp body bouncing against my shoulder as I strode deeper into the forbidden woods. The trees here grew thicker, older, blacker than any elsewhere. Their twisted limbs knitted overhead, blotting out what little light the blood moon gave. Even the wolves would not step foot here. Their howls stopped at the border, leaving only the sound of my boots crunching dead leaves and Lessie’s ragged breathing.She stirred once, coughing weakly, and a small trickle of blood slid from the corner of her mouth. I smiled to myself. Perfect. The ritual had already begun to take hold.I reached the ruin just as the clouds parted. The moon was out already, and I was deep red as fresh blood poured over the temple’s cracked stones. Its pillars had long since crumbled, yet the altar still stood, black granite etched with runes older than the coven itself. Power thrummed here, a pulse beneath my s

  • The Professor, My Mate   Chapter 23

    PROFESSOR DANTE “No!!” Kieran’s roar tore through the chamber, shaking the stone walls as he hurled himself toward Celeste.But she barely flicked her wrist. A wave of raw magic shot from her palm, and he was blasted backwards like a rag doll, slamming against the far wall with a bone-crunching thud.The chamber erupted into chaos.I lunged. My body moved before thought, before pain, before reason. My claws unsheathed, my wolf snarling, I intercepted her strike, forcing the knife away from Lessie’s chest. The blade pierced my skin too deep.Agony seared through me as steel tore across my flesh. My blood spilled over the floor, staining the runes beneath us.“Dante!” Lessie’s voice cracked, and it gutted me worse than the blade.But I forced my jaw tight, ignoring the burn. I couldn’t afford to falter and let her know I was in pains.Behind me, Kieran dragged himself to his feet, shaking his head as if clearing the daze. His eyes burned like wildfire when they locked on Ethan.“You,”

    PROFESSOR DANTERage devours. It claws through your ribs, roars in your veins, and leaves no room for reason. That was me. A storm barely contained inside flesh. My mate had been stolen from me, dragged into the dark by a traitor I once allowed near her, and every second she was gone mad I almost ran mad.Warriors crowded around the table, their voices a chaos of suggestions and protests. None of it mattered. None of it was fast enough. Lessie was out there and I was trapped listening to men argue.Then Kieran opened his damn mouth.“I’ll lead the rescue,” he said with a steady voice, jaw locked. His eyes met mine, blazing with the same feral fire I felt.It was the last thread snapping inside me.I slammed my fists on the table so hard the wood cracked, and before anyone could breathe, I kicked it. The heavy oak slammed against the stone floor, then smashed against the far wall, splintering into jagged shards. The room froze. My chest heaved, power spilling out of my veins.“Wat

  • The Professor, My Mate   Chapter 21

    LESSIE I came to with a scream already lodged in my throat, but it died before it could find an exit. The world opened in a burst of white pain that hammered behind my eyes and pulsed through my skull like a bell. Every breath was unbearable. My mouth tasted copper and old rain. For a dizzy second I couldn’t remember my own name.Then the light focused and the room sharpened into awful, precise detail.I was lying on a cold stone. My wrists and ankles were bound with bands that hummed faintly and glowed with a pale, sickly blue. Runes crawled up the bands like living ink. The chamber around me was carved so deep into the earth it felt like the inside of some giant bone. Candles burned in iron sconces, and the wax smelled like rosemary and ash. The walls were covered in glyphs that pulsed softly as if they were breathing.My arm.I tried to move and the shock of pain made me gasp. Machines — ancient-looking, brass and glass and ropes of silver tubing leaned over me, and tiny nee
