Semua Bab The Professor's Forbidden Mate: Bab 21 - Bab 29

DelilahSabrina pursed her lips, rocking back and forth in my chair as she processed my lies.She stopped abruptly, tilting her head to the side. I maintained eye contact and kept my posture as relaxed as possible. The last thing I wanted to do was tip her off that I was nervous.“So…you’re telling me that you have a rich maternal great aunt who just popped out of nowhere and bought you all this shit?”“She passed away some time ago, but apparently she left me and my siblings money for our education in a trust. My parents surprised me today.”Sabrina narrowed her eyes suspiciously.“Why today? Why would they send you to campus with basically the clothes on your back if you had all this money coming to you?”“They didn’t gain access to the money until today, precisely six months after Aunt Elise’s death, as stated in her will.”“Uh-huh,” Sabrina replied carefully. She leaned in and whispered. “Be honest…do you have a sugar daddy?”I didn’t flinch.“Do you honestly believe I’d be capabl

EliasI bristled at Professor Draven’s declaration.“Ms. Hunt is staying—end of story, but since you’re so passionate about student safety, then you should channel your energy into coordinating an anti-bullying campaign since bullying was the catalyst that nearly led to Ms. Ashford suffering a broken nose.”Professor Draven’s face darkened, and his balled fists shook at his sides.“I’m honored that you would consider me for such a responsibility; however, my plate is full this year. Respectfully, I will have to decline.”“Disrespectfully, I don’t accept. Find the time.”“You are not the dean, Elias. I am only here as a courtesy due to the shitstorm that is about to come to our doorstep.”“I may not be the dean, but my last name is on your checks, and if you want to remain employed at Nocturne Academy, then you’d get with the program.”“Comply or be dismissed,” Augustus said from the background.Professor Draven smirked and started to take his leave when he stopped at the door and said

Delilah“Sooooo…you got under Anastasia’s skin,” Leighton mentioned as we stood around the pool table, waiting for Sabrina to take her shot. I shrugged nonchalantly and said, “She should let it go.”Ashton chuckled. “There’s no chance in hell she’ll let this go. You embarrassed the hell out of her,” he said. “Maybe Anastasia will think twice before bullying her classmates,” Julian responded, squinting as Sabrina scratched the ball for the fifth time in a row. “Hey. I’m with you. No one likes a bully. It’s the ultimate sign of insecurity. I’m just saying, Anastasia and her family have a lot of sway,” Leighton replied. “AKA, her parents are Nocturne Academy’s biggest donors. The dean won’t hesitate to protect his pockets over you,” Ashton commented. “Thanks,” I drawled, assessing the table. “Hey. I’m not trying to be a dick. I’m just saying.”“That’s enough about Anastasia,” Julian interrupted. “I agree,” Leighton said. “I’d much rather talk about the frat party next Friday. You

EliasMy ear twitched at the sound of soft footsteps, crunching on fallen leaves. My ear twitched again at the sound of a twig snapping. Delilah was near, made evident by her scent that was imprinted in my brain—a scent I couldn’t forget even in death.My fur raised in excitement and my wolf teetered on prey instinct, wanting to hunt before settling on somewhat controlled anticipation. But a challenge I never saw coming had my hackles raised. My instincts surged the moment she playfully whispered, “Come find me.”I crouched low, muscles tight as her laughter echoed through the woods.What is she thinking? Is she crazy?I caught sight of her, dashing between trees, and decided to be benevolent and give her a ten-second head start.I shot off after her, leaping over a fallen log, tracking the rhythm of her heartbeat.She was clever, trying to throw me off by doubling back, but she was no match for me.I rounded a tree and grinned when I saw her attempting to scramble up the base of a tr
