Love knows no boundaries, but some lines are never meant to be crossed... Delilah Hunt never imagined her scholarship to the prestigious Nocturne Academy would lead her to her mate. At eighteen, she’s determined to focus on her studies and escape her modest upbringing. But everything changes when she meets Elias Grey—her enigmatic professor and the man fate has destined to be her mate. Elias is everything Delilah shouldn’t want: older, impossibly wealthy, and bound by the expectations of his family. As the heir to the powerful Grey legacy and the son of Nocturne’s intimidating dean, Elias knows the risks of pursuing Delilah. Yet the pull of the bond is irresistible. Stolen glances and secret conversations soon turn into clandestine meetings; however, their secret love is threatened when Elias faces mounting pressure from his father to marry Claudia Castille, a match that would secure his family’s influence but shatter his heart. Caught between duty, desire, and destiny, Delilah and Elias must decide how far they’re willing to go to protect their love. But in a world where everyone claims they shouldn’t be together; will their bond hold or will one be forced to reject the other? "Forbidden? Maybe. But if fate brought me to you, who are we to defy it?"

Chapter 1

Nocturne Academy

Delilah

“Look, girls. We have another poor one!” the raven-haired bully loudly announced as I approached the new student orientation table outside the gates of Nocturne Academy.

I’d barely stepped foot on campus with a warning from my parents to grow a thick skin, and I was already a target of bullying.

I stopped at the table and glanced at the heckling girls curiously. They were all so…stunning. They had clear, bright skin, shiny, voluminous hair, straight, white teeth, and facial features fit for high-fashioned magazines, and yet their cruelty made them ugly in my eyes.

I took in the details of their prestigious uniforms that vastly differed from mine. They wore a tailored black blazer that was finely pressed. The blazer had red piping around the collar and cuffs with our school’s crest embroidered on the left breast in gold. Underneath the blazer, they wore white blouses with lace trim around the neck and a deep red satin tie with a gold clip. They wore black pleated skirts with tights underneath them and shiny black shoes.

My uniform was a plain black sweater, a stiff white shirt, and a skirt that stopped at my shins. I was a scholarship student and didn’t have the luxury of wearing Nocturne Academy’s distinguished uniform. My mother attended Nocturne Academy years ago and admitted that the school was rampant with rich snobs and classism. She warned me not to attend, but she was my biggest role model, and I wanted to follow in her footsteps.

My mother grew up in a wealthy family but was cut off from her rightful fortune when she married my father—a rogue who’d finally found a legitimate pack to call home. My family wasn’t poor; however, we couldn’t afford the $50,000 yearly tuition and room and board. Thankfully, I took after my mother intellectually and landed a full-ride scholarship due to my perfect grade point average and testing scores, participation in student government, peer tutoring, various volunteer projects, and my high school’s field hockey team.

“What’s your name, poor girl?” the leader asked, returning me to reality. Her friends snickered around her, and as much as I wanted to ignore them and write them off as mean girls, their actions still stung. Would I have to face this ridicule for the next four years?

Someone snapped their fingers repeatedly.

“Hey! We don’t have all day,” a redhead impatiently exclaimed.

“My name is Delilah Hunt.”

The head bitch in charge rolled her eyes and scrolled through her tablet. She smiled gruesomely, and I wondered what calamity would come my way.

“Delilah Cunt,” she said with a smirk, sending her posse into a fit of laughter. “I’ve found you.”

“Hunt,” I repeated firmly, nearly growling.

"Ooooo," the girls taunted.

The raven-haired girl stood after discarding her tablet to the side. She rifled through a box of lanyards before finding mine.

“Welcome to Nocturne Academy, Delilah Cunt,” she said, emphasizing the word ‘cunt’ before tossing my badge onto the ground like I was a dog.

“Pick it up,” I demanded.

The titters immediately ceased, and the bitch folded her arms over her chest and stuck her hip out to the side.

“What the fuck did you just say?”

“You heard me…pick it up.”

Her cheeks flushed red, and her mouth repeatedly gaped open and shut like a fish out of water.

“Anastasia, are you going to let her talk to you like that?” one of her cronies questioned. The prodding from her friend seemed to snap Anastasia out of her stupor. She sneered and rounded the table to confront me. I didn’t move—I held my ground just like my father taught me.

She got into my face until we were chest to chest.

“If I were you, I’d take a few steps back unless you want to give the student body the impression you have a crush on me.”

“Fuck you, half-breed.”

“You should save some of that anger for the plastic surgeon that did your nose.”

Anastasia reeled her fist back, and I was prepared to dodge her punch when someone caught her arm and jerked her back.

“Are you fucking serious, Anastasia?” he growled, yanking her away from me.

“Let me go! I’ll never let a fucking half-breed disrespect me!” she huffed, wrenching her arm out of his grasp.

“So you’d prefer to be expelled? You’d be packing your bags right now if Professor Grey hadn’t told me to intervene!” he yelled, pointing toward a man I quickly found in a crowd of blustering students.

He stood out like a lighthouse, guiding me at sea. The passerbyers blurred, becoming more and more obsolete as stolen seconds ticked by. He felt so far away yet so near. Despite the distance, I felt I could reach out and touch him.

His brown eyes collided with mine, and a cataclysmic reaction exploded deep within me. He deeply frowned, but that did little to quell the riot inside me. He was gorgeous—tall—maybe 6'4" with dark, neatly styled hair and baby blue eyes that, when the sun hit just right, sparkled like a diamond. He had a strong, straight nose that rested above lips that would haunt me in my dreams, and he hid his muscular physique beneath a black tailored suit that I wouldn’t mind peeling off him like the wrapper of my favorite candy bar. I wouldn’t stop until I reached the sweetness beneath.

I took a step forward but halted when he shook his head. He disappeared into the crowd, leaving me spiraling.

What the hell just happened?

“Here. I’m sorry about that,” the guy who came to my rescue said. I glanced up at him and nearly shaded my eyes from his blinding smile. He was about six feet tall with blonde hair that was messy but styled. He had sparkling green eyes and, like the mean girls, a face that belonged on a billboard.

And while he was objectively attractive. I couldn’t help but think he had nothing on Professor Grey.

“Um…thank you,” I replied mechanically as I accepted my lanyard.

“I’m Julian—Julian Lancaster, Secretary of Gamma Tau Silverclaw and Vice President of Student Affairs. Welcome to Nocturne Academy, Delilah.”

“Thank you for the welcome and for intervening. It probably would’ve gotten messy if you hadn’t.”

“No problem. The last thing I wanted was to spend my afternoon collecting hair extensions from the ground.”

I laughed at the mental picture and how he wagged his brows at me.

“I’m sure that as Vice President of Student Affairs, you have more pressing matters to attend to.”

He smiled devilishly. “You’re right. It’s my job to assist with greeting the incoming freshmen and giving tours. What dorm are you in?”

I retrieved a folded paper from my skirt pocket and scanned the page.

“It looks like I’m in Moonlit Grove Hall.”

“Awesome! That’s right next door to me. I’m in Crimson Moon Hall. I can take you there now,” he said, grabbing the handle of my suitcase.

“Oh, you don’t have to—”

I couldn’t even finish my sentence when he took off for the foreboding gates of Nocturne Academy.

I followed after him, passing the “welcoming committee.” One of the girls called me a whore, and the urge to bite back and say, “Your mother” was strong. Instead, I followed Julian and tried to keep up with his hurried gait while attempting to forget Professor Grey.

I can’t forget the man, even if I tried because there is a sliver of a chance that he is my mate.

My Barely Legal Mate
Elias“Fuck!”I snatched my computer monitor off my desk, ripping the cords from the wall. I was about to dispose of it properly when my plans were thwarted.“Do NOT throw that monitor out of the window. You could hurt someone!” Augustus exclaimed.I closed my eyes and swallowed roughly before abandoning the monitor. It fell to the floor with a loud clang, and I finally slumped into my office chair.My chest heaved up and down as sweat trickled down my forehead. My mind was scrambled—fighting with my biological urges and common sense and reasoning.My wolf…don’t even get me started. Holding him back was a fucking nightmare. They’d lock us away and throw away the fucking key if they knew the thoughts running through his head. Tracking down, marking, and breeding our barely legal mate were the only thoughts that consumed him.“Relax, Elias. It’s not the end of the world,” Augustus said, trying to soothe me.I gritted my teeth and kicked the paper shredder across the room. It crashed int

The Warning
Delilah“So, what do you think?” Julian asked after pushing open the door of my shared dorm suite. My mouth popped open in shock. I was surprised at how spacious the room was. “Don’t be shy; check it out,” he urged, pushing me gently.The suite was large and pristine, with a tastefully decorated living room and chic furnishings that appeared to cost a fortune.“This is so beautiful,” I whispered as I ran my hand over the back of the couch.“Your roommate took the liberty of decorating.”I left the living room for the kitchen and was amazed at the top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances. I opened the refrigerator and gawked at the abundance of fresh fruits, vegetables, and meats.“W-who is my roommate again?”“Let’s see,” Julian said as he typed away on his phone. “Ms. Sabrina Blackwell is your roommate. Ms. Blackwell’s family is one of the wealthiest families in the country because they own multiple mineral and precious gem mines worldwide. The Blackwells are the largest producers

New Student Orientation
EliasI sat on the stage with our most tenured professors and administrators as the new batch of incoming students began filing into the auditorium. I watched them carefully, taking note of how they carried themselves, their temperament, and who they conversed with.Augustus leaned over and whispered in my ear, “Are you looking for your little mate?” he asked teasingly.“Shut the fuck up,” I growled lowly, hoping our cohorts didn’t overhear him.“You’re drawing attention to us,” he said accusingly as if he weren’t the one who started it.Augustus had been my friend since our first shift, and he’d been nothing but a pain in the ass ever since. He was the worst kind of troublemaker and could charm himself out of any situation. He was quick-witted, intelligent, and vengeful when you pissed him off, but he was also fiercely loyal and insightful. He was someone you’d want in your corner when your back was up against the wall.“No, it is you drawing attention,” I replied, keeping my eye out

Meeting Sabrina Blackwell
DelilahI pinched the bridge of my nose and sighed after examining the outfits lying on my bed. I was supposed to attend the Nocturne Academy’s Back to School Mixer in an hour, and feared that even my best outfit would look like absolute rags compared to the other girls. I could picture the girls wearing designer clothes and heels fresh off the runway, and toting handbags worth as much as a semester’s tuition.“I’m not going,” I sighed to myself.I tensed when I heard the front door to my dorm suite open.“Delilah?” a feminine, but firm voice called out. “D? Are you here?” A faint smile tugged at the corner of my lips. “Knock, knock,” the girl I assumed to be my roommate said after rapping her knuckles against my open door.I opened my mouth to greet her, but couldn’t find the words. She was just that…striking. She was slender and tall, with pale, delicate skin like a porcelain doll and bright amber eyes shrouded behind long, black lashes. Her smile was blinding, distracting me from he

The Mixer
EliasI stared at myself in the mirror and curled my top lip in disgust as I tied my tie. “You’re so fucking weak,” I muttered, chastising myself for not being able to resist my student.Trying to keep my eyes off her during the assembly was grueling, and I was certain the mixer I was forced to chaperone wouldn’t be any easier. Personally, I thought babysitting adults was unfathomable, but a few mixers in the past had gotten out of hand when alcohol was involved, leading to young, destructive, entitled wolves shifting and tearing each other apart for the simplest infraction. A few years ago, a student was put in the infirmary for three days because he accidentally asked the wrong girl to dance. Her alpha mate was mate possessive and it took five guards to pull him off the poor kid. Lawsuits were filed against the academy: one by the victim’s parents for failure to protect to their son, one from the offender’s parents due to his expulsion, and another from the girl’s parents due to ex

Punch
An Hour EarlierDelilah“Okay. Don’t peek yet,” Sabrina demanded, forcing me to face away from the mirror. She spent the last two hours, preening me for the mixer I was being forced to attend against my will. I had plans to finish unpacking and curling into bed with a book, but my eccentric roommate and self-proclaimed new best friend had other plans for me. “Are you ready?”“I’m as ready as I’ll ever be,” I said anxiously.“You sound nervous, but you shouldn’t be. Trust me; I worked my magic and you’re now one of the hottest girls on campus.”I snorted and wondered what fantasy world she was living in. There was nothing extraordinary about my looks, and you wouldn’t see a guy do a double-take when he walked by, which was fine with me because there was nothing wrong with being average.“Okay. Turn on three. One…two…three!”Sabrina whirled me around and my breath caught as I stared at myself in the mirror. I was stunned speechless. My mouth moved, but the words never tumbled out as I s
