Elias

That word made Delilah go frigid as if someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over her head. In retrospect, I could’ve been more delicate, but there was nothing delicate about our situation.

“He wouldn’t be the only one to hate my kind,” she said, recovering from the initial shock. I grabbed her wrist and drew small circles on her creamy flesh with my thumb.

“My mother…she had her reasons for leaving, and for the longest, I despised her for not taking me with her. It wasn’t until I’d gotten older that my father drunkenly confessed that he refused to let her take me.”

“Because he needed someone to carry on his legacy,” she said.

“Precisely.”

“Did your parents sever their bond?”

I shook my head.

“He wouldn’t do it no matter how much she begged. Their bond was severed as soon as she allowed her new mate to mark her. Even though their bond was severed, he wouldn’t let her go. He planted spies in their pack to keep an eye on her and report back to him.”

  • The Professor's Forbidden Mate   Night Visitor

    DelilahThe walk from Elias’s home to my dorm took nearly an hour because I was constantly getting turned around. I failed miserably at maneuvering the unfamiliar campus and my thoughts simultaneously, and I couldn’t call Sabrina and ask for assistance because my phone was broken.At the moment, my biggest concern wasn’t my wishy washy mate, but how I’d explain why I was returning to the dorm at 2:00 in the morning wearing someone else's clothes. I had a gut feeling that Sabrina wouldn’t believe me.I punched in my student code on the keypad outside the main entrance. The keypad flashed green and the door unlocked. I entered the dormitory and was grateful that there weren’t any students meandering in the lobby or in the common area.Taking the steps two at a time, I quickly climbed the steps to the third floor.“Please be asleep,” I whispered, sticking my key into the lock. It tumbled open, and I slowly pushed the door open. I was relieved to find Sabrina’s bedroom door open and the l

  • The Professor's Forbidden Mate   Late Night Kisses

    DelilahI froze when Elias pressed his lips against mine. I wanted to feel his perpetually frowning lips on me since I first laid eyes on him; however, I didn’t think he’d have the courage to actually make a move. I wondered what kind of kisser he’d be. Would he be soft and take his time, or hard and ravenous. Shockingly, he was a little of both. I gasped softly when he pressed his body into mine, sending a bloom of anticipation and pleasure below. His tongue invaded my mouth, pulling a moan from me I couldn’t contain. His hand squeezed my hip painfully as his body brushed against my backside. I felt drunk when he nibbled on my bottom lip, and out of my mind when he brushed the end of the sweatshirt over my hips. His fingers burned trails into my goose-pebbled flesh as his hand explored my body. He dragged his hand up my abdomen and I cried out when he squeezed a breast and tugged the taut nipple. In a flash, I was on my back with Elias straddling me. He jerked the shirt over my h

  • The Professor's Forbidden Mate   Getting to Know You

    EliasWhat…the…fuck…was my wolf thinking?After not hearing from her for almost an hour, I went to check on Delilah. I knocked on the door several times, called out her name, and became worried when I didn’t receive a response. Against my better judgment, I entered without an invitation and found my mate sleeping peacefully in the tub.My restraint lasted only a mere second before my wolf decided to take a front seat and involuntarily made me a spectator, and like the moronic, primitive bastard he was, he asked if he could taste her.I was mortified, but simultaneously intrigued to know her answer. However, I was more impressed that she recognized it was my wolf speaking to her and not me and handled him accordingly.[Earlier]“Can I taste you?”Delilah gazed at us in shock and didn’t bother to cover herself until he licked his lips. Slowly, she brought her arms to her chest and brought her knees up.“It’s cold. Will you keep me warm instead?”“I will,” he agreed readily.“That’s so g

    Delilah“It’s late. You’re spending the night,” were words I never thought I’d hear from Elias Grey. Especially since he was willing to reject me less than ten minutes ago and toss me on my ass.But had he had a change of heart? Would he accept me after all, despite our age gap and my background?His thumb gently stroked my cheek, stealing me away from my chaotic thoughts. My eyes darted down to his lips, and the urge to kiss him and claim him as mine while that woman hollered from the other side of the door was maddening.“Don’t do it,” he whispered.“Don’t do what?”“Don’t do whatever you’re thinking.”“As you wish.”I abandoned the thought of kissing him and wrapped my arms around him instead. Elias stiffened upon contact, but relaxed when I pressed my head against his chest. He buried his nose in my hair and locked me into the embrace.“I do not know what to do,” he whispered.“What are you doing? Get your filthy hands off of me!” the woman outside screamed. “Elias! Elias! Let me

  • The Professor's Forbidden Mate   An Unexpected Guest

    EliasThe scent of her blood baffled me. It was saccharine and arousing, and my canines itched to sink into her delicate flesh.Saliva pooled in my mouth as I wondered what she’d taste like. Would I go mad and feed on her like some crazed vampire?Lust struck me when the fur blanket I wrapped her in fell to the floor as she completed half of the rejection ritual. The stained and tattered dress had fallen down her chest, stopping just in time to protect her erect nipples from my lascivious gaze.My wolf longed to taste her again, and I could feel the effects of restraining my wolf. The sweating, restlessness, and confusion were starting to set in, and if Delilah didn’t leave, I wouldn’t be liable for what might happen to her.She was right. I needed to reject her ASAP.I reached for the knife, but the doorbell rang before I could get my hand on it.I swore under my breath, hoping it wasn’t Augustus coming to check on me or my father being a busybody.“You need to hide.
