Semua Bab A Baby For My Professor : Bab 51 - Bab 60

CLARISSA I had finally found a comfortable position after what felt like an eternity of tossing and turning, trying to accommodate the stubborn curve of my baby bump. Curled on my side, one leg drawn up and an arm tucked beneath my head, I let out a slow breath, the cool sheets offering a small moment of relief.I was dressed in a pair of joggers and a bralette. The simplest things felt like a chore tonight.Across the room, I could hear the sound of the shower running. My thoughts were a mess. If Callum hadn't reminded me of the consequence of getting involved in the silver gauntlet, I might've truly stayed ignorant until that day. My gaze wandered to the glass door of the bathroom. Steam had heavily fogged up the glass, but I could still see Jaxon's silhouette.My gaze trailed up his strong legs and thighs, my cheeks heating up when I noticed his firm ass.The ridiculous urge to smack him hit hard. But knowing Jaxon, I'd probably end up over his knee.The tattoo on his back

CLARISSA Three days passed after the silver gauntlet and the celebratory feast arrived. The academy was decorated beautifully to celebrate Jaxon's win. Still, there was an unease constantly twisting in my guts. I knew that the silver gauntlet hadn't gone very smoothly. But I had a feeling that the struggle was not over yet."You shouldn't be wandering around like that," I heard a deep voice say behind me. Callum.I'd been roaming the schoolyard in search of Nina. I hadn't seen her since the event kicked off.Letting out a sigh of exasperation, I turned to face him. He looked wrecked. Dark circles hung under his eyes, and his face was deathly pale. Despite the elegance of his tuxedo, he looked out of place."Jaxon might've won the silver gauntlet, but the war is far from over," he said."Is that a threat or a warning?" I droned, and his gaze hardened."Join me." His voice was low, laced with a quiet menace. "When I become Alpha, I want you at my side. As my Luna."I stared at h

CLARISSA Jaxon turned to look at me with eyes that gleamed like coals. The chaos unfolding around us meant nothing to me at this point. All I could see was the stranger wearing my mate's skin."Hey," he drawled as though he was just seeing me for the first time. And I knew...I knew that it was an effect of the void."Who are you? You're not my Jaxon," I said, and he beamed, his eyes sparkling with delight."Smart girl," he purred, taking my hand in his, his fingers colder than ice. His gaze roamed my features with unnerving amusement. "I see why he's crazy about you."I frowned.Was he talking about himself or..."You're right. I'm not him." He sounded so smug, I wanted to slap him on the face."Who the hell are you?" I demanded, and he pulled me towards him, leaning over to whisper in my ear."Technically, I'm a creature born from his dark consciousness and the hollow king's consciousness." His voice dropped by an octave. Hearing those words from him sent chills down my spin

CLARISSA A little while ago, I'd always known that this day would come. I just didn't think it would happen like this. The blue-eyed jerk standing in front of me was none other than Aaron, and behind him were his lackeys and...Nina. Poor Nina. She'd been beaten so badly, her face was a swollen mess. She was kneeling on the floor, and one of Aaron's lackeys had a hand on her hair, pulling her hard at the beautiful strands. It was obvious that this was a trap. This was Aaron trying to get back at me for humiliating him. Bastard."Get your ugly fingers off her," I hissed, and they exchanged glances before bursting into laughter. My blood sizzled in my veins.Every few seconds, I would see an image of a bloody and bruised Tara, and the burn in my heart worsened."She has nothing to do with you, why are you doing this?" I said through gritted teeth.Aaron blew a puff of cigarette smoke in my direction and flashed a cocky grin at me. "She's a bottom feeder. Besides, I got bored

CLARISSA The instant I saw him, I knew something was wrong. My mate was seated on a couch in the sitting room, staring at the TV with vacant eyes. There was a horror movie on screen, but Jaxon didn't seem to be paying attention to it. He was lost in thought.Lowering the tray of sliced apples—which I'd brought from the kitchen—on the coffee table, I moved to sit beside him, resting my head on his shoulder. The action seemed to jolt him out of his thoughts. He placed an arm around me, pressing a kiss to my head."Is something on your mind?" I asked, and he heaved a sigh, placing a hand on my baby bump."Do you think I'm going to be a good dad?"I blinked, surprised.Where was this coming from? I wondered."Of course. I know so," I replied.He went silent for a moment, and when he spoke, his voice was tight with tension."My mum came over to see me today."I winced. Whatever was troubling him must've stemmed from her visit."What did she say?"He sucked in a sharp breath. "Many...t
