Chapter 91

There they stood, arguing like a couple.“That is none of your business, Professor… Are we close? Why are you showering me with your nonsense questions?” Isabella shoved his hands away, trying to steady herself. Then she grabbed his collar, pulling him closer until their lips were only an inch apart.“You left that day just like that and ignored my existence. What do you even think of me?” She babbled, her words spilling out unfiltered. A small smile appeared on Zephyr’s lips. She had been the one to draw the line, yet her heart clearly betrayed her.“It’s you who didn’t want to see me, Bella…” Zephyr tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, his fingers brushing her cheek. Isabella leaned into his palm, instinctively seeking the warmth.“Gosh… I’ve missed this…” Zephyr’s eyes widened slightly at her soft pur, his gaze darkening as his wolf stirred beneath the surface. Her wolf, too, seemed to bask in his presence, something she had always refused to acknowledge.“Oh, sweetheart… yo

“You don’t have to hide in the darkness, warrior.”There was no response from the direction he was looking at. But a moment later, a figure emerged from the shadows and stepped into the dim light, coming to a halt before him.“Marcus Van Harl… a warrior wolf who has never been bound to any pack. My greetings.” The man spoke calmly.Yes, it was Marcus who had stepped out of the darkness. A mocking scoff slipped from his throat.“And I didn’t expect Zayan Knox to be a hunter wolf.”Marcus’s eyes darkened at his own words. A loud guffaw filled the space as Zayan laughed, as if it were the most amusing joke he had heard. Marcus rolled his eyes—Zayan looked like a complete maniac at that moment.“You know me… that’s interesting. I didn’t expect you to know me, Harl.”Zayan shrugged and began gathering the bodies. Without another word, Marcus joined him, helping load them into the van. As they dragged the bodies over, Marcus kept stealing glances at the older man, curiosity flickering in hi

As Isabella caressed Zephyr’s hair, the grip around her waist tightened, stirring something deep within her. Her heart raced, and her face flushed.She tried to loosen his hold, but she couldn’t. He had been picking on her and her friends from the day he first saw them, constantly lingering in her thoughts ever since. When had her hatred turned into something else? She had no idea. Thinking of their constant bickering only made her feel embarrassed. She had never imagined that one day, she would fall for this professor.“Done admiring me?” Zephyr opened his eyes, locking his gaze with hers. A deep blush spread across her cheeks.“Who is admiring you?”Isabella tried to shrug off his hand and get up from the bed, but her struggle was in vain when Zephyr pulled her back down, resting his head on her chest. Her heart pounded wildly, the sound echoing in her ears.“Why are you so nervous? I’m not doing anything, am I?” Zephyr turned his face, looking straight into Isabella’s eyes, not loo

“So… something happened between you two?”Eira caught on immediately, making Isabella second-guess her decision to reveal everything to her friends. But it didn’t matter, they would find out sooner or later. As they walked toward their class, Isabella decided to tell them.“Yeah… something happened. But not now… it was a one-night stand, and he marked me temporarily.”“What a jerk! How could he mark you like that?” Eira grumbled, clearly annoyed. The thought of a temporary mark pulled her back to her own memories, her heat, the loneliness she had felt when Mateo left her alone. Even though they had reconciled, the old wound still lingered in her heart.“No… he wanted to take responsibility, but I refused. You know, it’s normal in the era we’re living in…”“So that’s why you wore the patch that day…” As Amethysta spoke, Isabella gave a small nod, and Eira could only gasp. How had she missed something so important?“Last night, I was drunk, completely wasted. I met him in an alley… we a

“I didn’t expect the Dempseys to be here,”Eira muttered, though she didn’t like the fact that the Dempsey twins had been in contact with Amethysta. Still, she could clearly see how happy Amethysta looked. As far as she knew, she could tell Amethysta would be heartbroken sooner or later.“And I didn’t expect your fiancé and professor to be here...” Amethysta looked at Eira and Isabella.“Shut up... I don’t even know why he’s here. He should’ve already gone home. Look at them, drawing attention, and don’t even get me started on those videos those crazy girls are taking…”Isabella adjusted her hair, trying not to get caught by Zephyr’s gaze, while Eira and Amethysta were more than happy to see their men.“Why not, darling... look at him... just waiting for his college belle...” Eira teased Isabella, who only rolled her eyes in response.“I don’t like getting attention from them at all.” Isabelle grunted. “Go for it, girl... don’t regret it later.”Amethysta encouraged her, but Isabella

Chapter 96

“Why trouble yourself, Mr. Nicolas, when we’re already here to pick her up?” Icarus spoke smoothly, a subtle smile playing on his lips. Yet somehow, that smile only intimidated Eira and Amethysta even more.“And I don’t trust my pack omega’s safety with a murderer’s sons.” Mateo’s words instantly crossed a line he never should have touched.A low growl rumbled from Isaias as his eyes flashed gold, his fangs beginning to elongate dangerously.“One more word about our mother, and I’ll rip your throat apart.” Isaias was about to lunge at Mateo, but Amethysta quickly stepped between them, stopping him. Mateo had gone too far by bringing up something so sensitive, something that had happened decades ago.Amethysta could clearly see the hurt in the twins’ eyes. Even Eira realized that Mateo had crossed a line. She knew him well enough to understand that he normally wouldn’t speak like that, yet here he was, throwing around hurtful words without thinking.“Isaias... stop...”With just a sing
