SEBASTIAN’S POV

Pain ripped through me, a jagged blade tearing my chest apart. I slumped over my desk in my office, my hands clutching the edge, my breath shallow and ragged. The curse struck hard, a familiar torment that hadn’t hit this bad in weeks.

My wolf howled inside, wild and frantic, clawing at my mind, not its usual steady presence but a beast gone mad. My vision blurred, my body numb, as if my bones were frozen, my muscles locked in place. Cold sweat drenched my shirt, my heart stuttering like it might stop.

Every nerve screamed, the agony a living thing, twisting, burning, suffocating. I couldn’t move, couldn’t think, couldn’t breathe. The room spun, the walls closing in, the air thick with an icy chill that seeped into my soul.

Then it came—a vision, sharp and brutal, slicing through the pain. I was in a trance, my office fading, replaced by a blood-red moon hanging low in a starless sky. Isabella stood alone, her white blouse stained with dirt, her eyes wide with terror

  • The Professor’s Mate: The Moonborn Legacy   Chapter 82: Shadows in the Quiet

    ISABELLA’S POV I tossed on the bed for what felt like hours, sheets tangled around my legs like they wanted to hold me down. The clock on the nightstand glowed 9 p.m., and the house creaked with emptiness, every little noise amplified in the silence. Sebastian's side stayed cold and untouched, his pillow still indented from where I'd hugged it earlier, pretending it was him. Loneliness hit me hardest at night, a heavy weight pressing on my chest, making each breath feel shallow and forced. I stared at the ceiling, shadows dancing from the streetlight outside, and wondered how much longer I could take this hollow feeling gnawing at me from inside.Memories crept in uninvited, pulling me back to those years with David and Karen. I saw David's red face yelling in the kitchen, his belt whistling through the air before it cracked against my back because I'd spilled milk on the floor. Karen stood by with her arms crossed, smirking as she called me clumsy and useless, telling me I'd never

  • The Professor’s Mate: The Moonborn Legacy   Chapter 81: Days in the Shadows

    SEBASTIAN’S POV I woke up on a hard cot in the healer’s hut, sweat soaking the thin sheet twisted around my legs. The air smelled like herbs and earth, thick and heavy, the kind that stuck to your skin and made breathing feel like work. My chest ached deep inside, the curse twisting like a knife every time I shifted. It had been weeks here in Blood Moon Pack, or at least it felt that way, but back in the human world it could be months already. Time slipped through my fingers like sand, and every second without Isabella carved another hole in me. I swung my feet to the floor and stood slowly, ignoring the way the room spun for a moment. The elders had promised answers when I arrived, but so far all I got was rituals and potions that burned going down and left me puking in the bushes. I pulled on a shirt and pants from the pile in the corner, rough fabric that scratched against my skin, then stepped outside into the misty morning light filtering through the tall pines.The camp buzzed

  • The Professor’s Mate: The Moonborn Legacy   Chapter 80: Shattered Pieces

    ISABELLA’S POV I shoved past Caleb without another word as I yanked the music room door open and stepped into the hallway where Mia waited with her arms already half-raised. The second she saw my face her eyes widened. She didn’t ask questions, she just grabbed my shoulders and pulled me straight into her chest. I crashed into her like I’d been falling for weeks. My knees buckled. A sob ripped out of me, loud, ugly, and unstoppable. Mia wrapped her arms tighter, one hand cradling the back of my head, the other rubbing slow circles between my shoulder blades. She smelled like vanilla shampoo and the cherry lip gloss she always wore. “Come on,” she whispered against my hair. “Let’s not do this here.” She steered me down the empty corridor, past the lockers and closed classroom doors, until we reached the old art supply closet nobody used anymore. She pushed the door open with her hip, as she flicked on the single bare bulb, and locked us inside. The second the lock clicked I slid d

  • The Professor’s Mate: The Moonborn Legacy   Chapter 79: Running Toward the Truth

    CALEB’S POV The guard’s key scraped in the lock like a promise. Marcus’ men didn’t even look at me when the door swung open, they just jerked their heads towards the shadowed corridor and muttered, “How the mighty has fallen.” I didn’t waste my breath thanking him yet. I slipped past as my bare feet landed on the cold stone and my heart slammed so hard I tasted copper. The dungeon air clung to my skin, damp rot and old iron, and I wanted it gone forever. The guard had slipped me a plain gray cloak earlier, with hoods and long sleeves. I pulled it tight around me and followed the faint glow of the single torch he’d left burning at the end of the passage. We hit the service stairs. He paused and placed his ear to the wall listening for patrol boots. But he heard nothing. “Go,” he whispered. “Take the east gate, the one near the old stables. Help is waiting for you on the other side.” I nodded once, then I ran. The stairs twisted up forever as my lungs burned, and my calves screame

  • The Professor’s Mate: The Moonborn Legacy   Chapter 78: Not Fair

    ISABELLA’S POV I barely made it up the stairs before the tears came hot and fast, blurring everything. My bare feet slapped against the wood, too loud in the quiet house, and I shoved through the bedroom door so hard it banged against the wall. The sound echoed like a gunshot in my skull but I didn’t care. I just needed to be somewhere small, somewhere the world couldn’t reach me for five stupid seconds.I curled into the middle of the bed, knees pulled tight to my chest, arms wrapped around my shins like that could hold all the broken pieces together. The comforter still smelled like Sebastian—cedar and smoke and the sharp salt of his skin—and that only made it worse. I buried my face in it and sobbed, ugly choking sounds that hurt my throat. The universe had finally given me something good. Something real. And now it was ripping him away.Why?Why did it have to be like this?I’d spent twenty-one years with nothing. No one who stayed. No one who looked at me like I mattered. Then S

  • The Professor’s Mate: The Moonborn Legacy   Chapter 77: The Truth I Couldn’t Keep

    SEBASTIAN’S POV I sat on the edge of the couch in the living room as I pressed my back against the cushions that still smelled faintly of hospital antiseptic even after four days at home. The discharge papers were folded in my pocket like a death sentence I’d signed myself. Doctors had called it a miracle. They’d poked, scanned, drawn blood, and scratched their heads when every test came back clean. No infection. No internal bleeding. No explanation for why I’d collapsed twice in the last week, why my vision tunneled black at the edges, why my chest felt like someone parked a truck on my ribs whenever I moved too fast.They didn’t know the truth. The curse wasn’t done with me. It had burrowed deeper than anyone realized, and the only place that could pull it out from the root and all was Blood Moon Pack. It wasn’t going to be some quick visit or a weekend trip. The time flow there didn’t match this world. A week in the Pack could stretch into months here. Years, maybe. And I had n
