ISABELLA’S POV

Rain lashed against the window of my cramped room, the patter a restless echo of my churning thoughts. I lay on my creaky bed, the thin mattress sagging under me, the musty air pressing against my skin. My heart hadn’t stopped racing since Sebastian dropped me off. The memory of his lips brushing my forehead, his protective grip against Lucas’s threat, warred with the sting of my brothers’ cruel words.

But it was Caleb’s betrayal that cut deepest. Two days ago, he’d asked me to be his girlfriend, his eyes soft, his voice earnest. I’d turned him down, admitted I cared for someone else—Sebastian. Now, Sebastian’s warning rang in my ears: Caleb and Vanessa wanted me dead. My best friend, Mia, lay in a hospital bed, broken because of them.

How could someone who’d smiled at me, who’d flirted and fought for me, want to kill me? Was it because I rejected him? Or was there something darker, tied to his identity as a werewolf? If that’s the case then Sebastian should be aimin

  • The Professor’s Mate: The Moonborn Legacy   Chapter 76: Fading Pulse

    ISABELLA’S POV I woke up reaching for him, my hand sliding across cool sheets where Sebastian should have been. The bed felt too big and empty without his warmth pressed against me. I blinked in the dark, heart already picking up speed as I sat up and scanned the room. Moonlight slipped through the curtains, painting silver stripes on the floor, but he wasn't there. There was no silhouette in the bathroom doorway, no quiet breathing beside me. Just silence."Sebastian?" My voice came out small and scratchy. I threw the covers back and swung my legs over the edge, bare feet hitting the cold hardwood. Worry crawled up my spine as I grabbed his oversized shirt from the chair and pulled it on. He had slipped downstairs for water hours ago, right after we fell asleep tangled together. He should have come back by now.I padded to the hallway and flicked on the light.“Sebastian?" I called out louder this time, echoing down the stairs. Nothing answered me, no creak of floorboards, no soft

  • The Professor’s Mate: The Moonborn Legacy   Chapter 75: Chains and Truth

    CALEB’S POV I paced the narrow cell again as my boots scraped over the same patch of filthy stone for what felt like the thousandth time. The air hung thick with damp rot and old piss, clinging to my skin no matter how many times I dragged my sleeve across my face. My stomach cramped hard like a vicious twist that made me double over for a second before I forced myself straight. Thirst scraped my throat raw, lips cracked and bleeding, but I refused to beg for water. They wanted me weak. I would not give them that satisfaction."Guards!" I slammed my fist against the bars, the clang echoing down the empty corridor. "I need to see my father, now. Tell Marcus his son has urgent news."Nothing. Just the faint shuffle of boots and a low chuckle from one of the bastards posted outside. They had been ignoring me for hours, maybe longer. Down here, daylight never reached, so time melted into one long stretch of shadow and torch flicker. I shook the bars hard, muscles straining, veins poppin

  • The Professor’s Mate: The Moonborn Legacy   Chapter 74: Breaking Point

    SEBASTIAN’S POV The taste of her lingered on my lips like a forbidden elixir—salty from the sweat of her exertion, sweet like the honeyed essence of her desire. Isabella's body quivered beneath mine, the final tremors of her orgasm rippling through her like aftershocks from a storm we'd unleashed together. I captured her mouth in a kiss that was deep and languid, pouring every ounce of my hunger into it, letting her feel the rigid length of my arousal pressing insistently against her thigh. She made me so damn hard it bordered on pain, a throbbing need that demanded satisfaction. Her hands explored my back with a feverish urgency, fingers digging into the fabric of my shirt, clawing at it as if it were an obstacle standing between us and ecstasy. With a swift, desperate yank, she pulled it over my head and discarded it somewhere into the shadows of the room. Those green eyes of hers locked onto mine, smoldering with a raw, unfiltered need that mirrored the inferno blazing throug

  • The Professor’s Mate: The Moonborn Legacy   Chapter 73: Ghosts and Fire

    ISABELLA’S POV I woke up suddenly with my heart racing and the sheets tangled around my legs. The room sat dark and quiet but something pulled at me hard like an invisible string around my ribs. Sebastian wasn’t beside me, the pillow still held the dent from his head and the sheets carried his warmth but he was gone. I sat up fast as I rubbed my eyes and glanced at the clock. Barely an hour had passed since he tucked me in. Where was he? I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and the cool air hit my bare thighs. I wore only his black button-down shirt and it hung to mid-thigh. My feet hit the hardwood as I padded toward the door and down the stairs without turning on lights. Halfway down I heard voices, low murmurs and one of them made my blood freeze. I stepped into the living room and saw Sebastian standing at the intercom panel with his back rigid and shoulders tight. The screen glowed blue and showed the lobby feed. A man stood there in a dark coat with silver hair catchin

  • The Professor’s Mate: The Moonborn Legacy   Chapter 72: Dead Men Knock

    SEBASTIAN’S POV I shut down my office at four-thirty sharp and slung my leather satchel over my shoulder and headed for the parking lot. The sky already bled purple and orange and the wind carried winter teeth. Students scattered across the quad like startled birds when they saw me coming as they had their phones lifted and their whispers followed. But I didn’t care. Let them talk, let them choke on it.My Maserati sat alone in the reserved row and I tossed my bag across the back seat and leaned against the driver door and waited for her. Isabella. My mate. My everything. The day had dragged like hell because every second away from her felt borrowed.Minutes crawled as I checked my watch, I pulled my phone and dialed. It rang twice.“I’m coming,” she answered breathlessly and laughed a little. “I’ll be down in two minutes. I promise.”I smiled despite myself. “I’m not going anywhere, baby.”I hung up and slipped the phone in my pocket and scanned the main doors. Students poured out i

    CALEB’S POV The cold bit into my palms where they pressed against cracked concrete long after her footsteps faded. I stayed on my knees like some broken statue because moving felt impossible. Isabella’s voice kept looping in my head, sharp and final.You watched me beg.I did. I stood in that stinking basement with the silver chains clinking and her blood dripping on the floor and I did nothing. I told myself it was my duty, I told myself that Dad would be proud, I told myself she was just a job.Lies taste worse when you have to swallow them twice.My phone kept buzzing against my thigh. It was my father, Marcus, again. I let it die in my pocket.Eventually I dragged myself upright. My legs felt like wet sand. Students streamed past the courtyard arch and shot me weird looks but I barely saw them. I walked toward class on autopilot because if I stopped moving I’d have to feel everything and I wasn’t ready for that.I never reached the door.A hand clamped my shoulder so hard bone cr
