NOAH'S POV

I stood frozen in place, watching as Professor Rex pulled the new lecturer away.

His hand gripped her wrist firmly but not forcefully, leading her through the hallway with a sense of purpose.

There was something off about the way he held her—possessive, yet distant.

And then I remembered.

Before he took her away, he had said something. A word so faint I almost missed it.

"Mate."

My brows furrowed.

Mate?

Were they former classmates? Old acquaintances?

Something about the word didn’t sit right, but I shook it off. It wasn’t my business.

At least, it shouldn’t be.

So why couldn’t I stop thinking about the way he held her?

Like she belonged to him.

The thought left a bitter taste in my mouth.

I exhaled sharply, shaking off the ridiculous feeling creeping up my spine. This wasn’t jealousy. It wasn’t.

It was just… curiosity.

Yeah, that’s it.

Pushing the thought aside, I made my way back to my friends.

Penny was already waiting, her arms folded, a teasing smirk plastered across he

    ARES’ POV I was sitting in my office, lost in thought, when someone walked in. Lifting my gaze, I saw Birdy. "Someone finally decided to pay me a visit," I said, leaning back in my chair with a smirk. "Is it true?" she asked, skipping the pleasantries altogether. I raised an eyebrow. "Is what true?" I played dumb, though I already knew what she was talking about. She rolled her eyes. "That you found your mate." I exhaled through my nose, tilting my head slightly. "How did you find out?" "News spreads like wildfire among wolves," she answered smugly, folding her arms. I gave a slight nod. "It’s true." Birdy’s face immediately lit up. Her eyes gleamed with excitement as she leaned forward, nearly bouncing on her feet. "Really? That was quick! You know, when they said the Moon Goddess finally gave you a mate, I didn’t believe it at first. But now, this is amazing!" she gushed. I shook my head, amused. "You still haven’t changed, Birdy." Her smile dropped into a scowl. "I’ve to

    NOAH'S POV The moment my eyes met Professor Rex’s in the crowd, he winked at me. I grinned, unable to help myself, before turning away and stepping off the court. The game was over anyway, thanks to that weird, out-of-nowhere incident. As soon as I exited, Penny and Nathan rushed toward me, their faces painted with worry. "Oh my God, Noah! Are you okay?" Penny practically shrieked. "That ball was coming at you so fast! I thought you were going to get hit!" Nathan frowned, arms crossed. "That was definitely intentional. I swear those guys threw it on purpose." "I'm fine, guys," I reassured them with a small chuckle. "Seriously, you worry too much." Penny huffed. "Of course we worry! You could have been hit! Do you know how much your pretty face is worth to me?" I rolled my eyes. "Let’s just go." As we walked down the hallway, still chatting about the bizarre moment on the court, we turned a corner and bam, nearly collided with two figures. Professor Rex. And the new lecturer,

    ARES’ POV A strange, buzzing energy coursed through my body, making me feel more alert than I had in a long time. I sat up, running a hand through my hair. This was… odd. Yesterday, after using my time-freeze ability during the game, I had been completely drained. That power always came with a price—crippling weakness, exhaustion that left me barely able to move. The last time I used it, I couldn’t even leave my suite in the castle for three days. It was the reason I rarely used it. As an Alpha, showing that kind of vulnerability was a disaster. But now? I felt fine. No, not just fine, better than fine. What the hell happened? I tried to piece things together, but my memory was hazy. I remembered being weak, barely able to stand. But how had I even gotten home? I didn’t remember mind-linking Jason or any of my men. Was it Birdy? No, it couldn’t be. She didn’t even know where I stayed when I was in the city. A faint scent lingered in the room, something familiar yet strangely unre

    ARES’ POV The moment Birdy and Jason locked me in, I knew there was no getting out of this without giving them exactly what they wanted, or at least making them think I had. My body was still thrumming with frustration. Not from Elsa, not even from my traitorous wolf who seemed too eager, but from the deep-rooted uneasiness I’d been battling since I first found my mate. I exhaled sharply, pushing the thought away. I needed to clear my head. Without sparing Elsa another glance, I strode to the bathroom, stripping off my shirt as I went. The cool marble tiles barely registered beneath my feet as I twisted the shower knob, letting the scalding water cascade over me. Bracing my hands against the wall, I let my head dip under the stream, willing the heat to melt away the unrest inside me. My muscles were tight, my mind restless. What the hell is wrong with me? I hadn’t touched a woman since I learned about my mate. Not because of morals—I was no saint. But something about the bond m

    NOAH'S POV I walked through the bustling campus, the crisp morning air doing little to clear my drowsy mind. It was still early, and I hadn’t fully woken up yet. Beside me, Penny practically bounced on her feet, her eyes twinkling with barely contained excitement. "You’re way too happy for a Monday morning," I muttered, stifling a yawn. Nathan, who walked lazily on my other side, snorted. "That’s because she had a very eventful weekend," he said, rolling his eyes. Penny giggled, tucking a strand of honey-blonde hair behind her ear. "You're just jealous, Nathan." Nathan groaned. "I’m jealous of my peaceful, sex-free weekend? Hard pass." I raised a brow, intrigued. "Okay, spill. Why are you glowing like you won the lottery?" Penny dramatically clutched her chest. "Because I did win the lottery—the orgasm lottery!" She let out a dreamy sigh. "Spent the entire weekend with my fiancé, and we had lots of crazy sex, let’s just say… multiple pent-up orgasms were finally set free." I ne

    ARES’ POV The moment the students left, I took a deep breath and stepped closer to the girl’s lifeless body. The stench of blood was thick in the air, the metallic scent filling my lungs. Her body was mangled beyond recognition, deep claw marks tearing through her flesh. The sight alone made my wolf, Rex, restless. "This wasn't a rogue," Rex growled in my head. "This was something else." I was about to examine the wounds more closely when a voice—his voice—interrupted my thoughts. "An investigation will be carried out, right?" I turned around sharply, surprised to see Noah still standing there. His stormy gray eyes were locked onto mine, unreadable yet filled with curiosity . I arched a brow, silently questioning why he hadn't left with the others. "There will be an investigation, right?" he repeated, completely ignoring the unspoken warning in my gaze. I exhaled slowly. "An investigation won’t be necessary. It was probably a bear or some other wild animal," I said, though deep

    NOAH'S POV I stuffed my hands into my pockets as we strolled across the campus grounds, Penny still ranting about how hot Professor Rex was. “I mean, did you see the way his shirt hugged his arms when he rushed in? That man was made for sin,” she gushed, practically bouncing with excitement. Nathan rolled his eyes. “You need help.” Penny scoffed. “Coming from someone who once confessed to his lecturer on her last day here.” “That was a long time ago!” Nathan hissed, his ears turning red. “And I was drunk.” “Your first semester, actually,” Penny teased. Nathan groaned. “I thought that was supposed to be a secret.” “Yeah, which is why I didn’t post the video on the school blog.” Penny grinned mischievously. “Besides, there are no secrets in our little circle, except for Noah.” My head snapped up. “What? Me?” “Yeah, you.” Penny pointed at me. “We know you’re hiding something from us, but we’re not going to push until you’re ready to tell us.” I blinked, staring at them before q

    NOAH'S POV I rushed through the hallways, dodging students as I made my way toward Professor Rex’s office. My heart pounded, but not from exhaustion—excitement fueled my every step. Just as I reached the corridor leading to his office, I spotted him ahead, walking with that same composed, intimidating aura, with students drooling from afar, since they're too scared to get close. "Professor Rex!" I called out. He paused but didn’t turn immediately. When he finally did, his golden-amber eyes locked onto mine with mild curiosity and something else. "You love chasing after me, don’t you?" he mused, his lips curling slightly. I barely stopped myself from running into him, catching my breath. "There’s going to be an investigation," I blurted out. "I found evidence!" I expected his face to light up with interest. Instead, he simply shrugged. "Okay." Okay? That’s it? "That’s all you have to say?" I questioned, stepping in front of him to block his way. He raised a brow. "Was I supp

My legs knew the way by heart...to the massive oak tree, my little sanctuary, where Penny and Nathan usually waited.But today, it was just Nathan, leaning against the tree like some K-drama lead...arms crossed, sunshine glinting off his brown curls, and a smirk playing on his lips like he knew all the world's secrets.Perfect opportunity.I tiptoed up behind him, bit my lip to stop a giggle, and pounced—wrapping my arms around his neck from behind. "Gotcha!"Nathan didn’t even flinch. Ugh. Why is it so hard to startle this guy?He merely smiled, reaching up to pat my hand like I was a puppy. “Have Penny successfully initiated you into her crazy acts?”I swung around in front of him, flipping my hair dramatically. “Who knows… she does have irresistible charms.”He chuckled, those signature cheek dimples flashing.

That alone seemed to have scrambled his brain and instincts. Hilarious.I stepped fully out of the water, droplets sliding down my skin, glistening under the filtered light that peeked through the trees. My tight black shorts clung to me like a second skin, and I raked a hand through my wet hair, shaking off the excess water.Cute brat. Always skittish, always flushed, like a tiny mouse caught staring at a lion.I reached for the towel I had left hanging on a low branch and began drying myself off, deliberately slow, enjoying the silence of my sanctuary. This wasn’t just any ordinary place...it was mine. A hidden slice of the world untouched by chaos or duty. I discovered it long before my father died… before the weight of the crown descended on my shoulders. Back then, I hadn't cared much for fairy

    NOAH’S POVAt long last, the hellish French class ended. I swear, if torture had a language, it’d be French conjugation. Penny, Nathan, and I finally stumbled out of the room like war survivors. Nathan and I looked like we’d been run over by a farm truck, while Penny had this annoyingly bright sparkle in her eyes, as if she’d just stepped out of a Parisian fairytale.Nathan turned to me, brow furrowed, finger raised like an overdramatic mom. “Don’t. Do. This. Again,” he warned with mock seriousness.I snapped to attention, saluting him. “Roger that, captain.”Penny let out one of her signature fairy giggles. “Honestly, you guys are just dramatic. I actually enjoyed it!”Nathan and I exchanged a mutual eye-roll so powerful it could’ve triggered a minor earthquake.“Okay, buddies! Time to hit the cafeteria!” Penny squealed, grabbing both our arms like we were heading to Disneyland.But then her tone dropped into a venomous growl. “But that hulk of yours is not coming with us.

    NOAH’S POVI stared at my reflection in the mirror and almost flinched.Dark circles ringed my eyes like I hadn’t slept in weeks. My cheeks were hollowed out, lips pale, and my usually shiny hair looked like a mop abandoned in a storm. I looked like a haunted raccoon. A very sad, smelly, rebellious raccoon.“This is what grounding does to a person,” I muttered to my reflection, dragging my fingers through my tangled hair. “Congratulations, Gavin. You’ve officially won the Worst Big Brother of the Year Award.”For the past two days, I had been locked in my room like a prisoner of war. Gavin was dead serious about the whole “you’re not leaving till you agree to my terms” threat. The jerk even camped at my door, literally. Lucas was the one delivering meals, knocking gently and slipping the tray in like I was some kind of feral animal. Not that it mattered; I hadn’t touched a bite. Hunger strike in full swing.I groaned and slumped on the edge of my bed, my phone in my hand. My thumb hov

    NOAH’S POVThe hallway was eerily silent, as though the entire building had fallen into a post-party coma. My heels clicked lazily against the tiled floor, echoing in the stillness. I was still in my girl outfit from the Halloween party. Penny had insisted we keep dancing long after the crowd vanished, and like a fool, I agreed. We danced until our legs gave out beneath us, drunk on sugar, music, and fleeting joy.Now, I was paying the price, every step felt like I was dragging a corpse, probably my own.As I turned the corner toward my room, a hand suddenly grabbed my wrist and yanked me into the shadows. I let out a startled gasp, my body slamming into a cold wall. The air left my lungs in a rush, and my eyes struggled to adjust to the dark. But I saw her.Elsa.Of course."What the fuck?!" I snapped, yanking my wrist from her grip. My eyes blazed with fury as I glared at her, trying to conceal the pounding in my chest. Not from fear. From annoyance.Elsa folded her arms across her

The air felt thick...tense...and not from the stench rolling off my shirt. No, this was something else.Lucas was pacing.And when he paces, something is seriously wrong.Only one person could make my ever-composed, stone-faced brother look like he was about to tear the place apart.Noah.Damn.I dropped my gym bag beside the couch and wiped the sweat from my face with the towel hanging around my neck. “Hey, Lucas. What’s up?” I asked, pretending like I didn’t already know the storm that was brewing behind his narrowed eyes.He turned to me so fast, his boots squeaked against the floor. His eyes...those infamous forest-green eyes...flashed with unfiltered rage. “Where the hell have you been?” he thundered. “I’ve been trying to reach you for hours!”I didn’t flinch. I’ve had years of practice dealing with Lucas’ temper. His anger wasn’t

Everyone else seemed to fade into shadows as Little Leister and I moved together, syncing to the slow, sensual rhythm. His slender waist brushed against my palm, sending unwanted shivers up my spine. His body fit against mine too perfectly.I could feel his heartbeat, fast and fluttering, through the thin material of his ridiculous gown.He lifted his gaze...those stormy-grey eyes locking with mine, searching, questioning, trembling with an emotion he couldn’t name."I never knew you were attending," he said softly, his voice delicate, almost trembling. The sound brushed against my senses like silk, igniting something dangerous inside me.I arched a

She was dressed in a sparkling Cinderella ballgown, her golden hair curled perfectly, looking every inch the fairy tale princess she aimed to be.Gatherings like this were never my thing. Too noisy. Too crowded. Too fake.But Elsa had begged me to come, her big blue eyes shimmering with hope. I could’ve easily said no....should have said no...but I was still trying to play the part of the dutiful mate.Tonight, I wore an all-black ensemble: black button-down, black slacks, a simple black mask covering half my face. The first three buttons of my shirt were left undone, exposing my chest, a sight that earned a few lingering glances from the female students and lecturers. I ignored them all.The second we stepped into the suffocating, over-decorated hall, regret hit me like a punch to the gut. Laughter, gossip, bad music, and even a makeshift strip show happening at one end. The air

    NOAH'S POVI stood frozen in front of my bed, staring at the shimmering black gown laid neatly across it. The fabric sparkled under the soft lights of the suite, almost as if it was trying to seduce me into wearing it.I chewed my bottom lip nervously. Could I really pull this off?Or more importantly... Should I?Sebastian must have noticed my hesitation because he sauntered over, his arms folded across his chest.“You know you don’t have to do it if you’re not comfortable,” he said gently. “Nobody’s forcing you.”I inhaled sharply, the tightness in my chest easing slightly at his words. But still, I shook my head.“No, it’s fine. I'll put it on.”If I'm going to do this, I need to commit.Just as I gathered the gown into my arms, a sharp knock rattled the door."I’ll get that," Sebastian said, already moving away.I turned my attention back to the mirror, trying to mentally prepare myself, but my thoughts derailed when the door swung open with an audible bang.Standing there was Pen
