Semua Bab Our Little Secret: In Love With My Professor : Bab 171 - Bab 180

AdrianI had always known that power came at a price. You had to reach for it, claw for it, sometimes even take it from those too weak to defend themselves. But I hadn’t known how intoxicating it could feel to be promised everything I thought I wanted, to be handed a ladder straight to the top, and to have someone whisper that my deepest, darkest desires could actually be fulfilled.This woman's presence was like a shadow curling around me, elegant and dangerous. She moved like a predator, every step calculated, every glance a lure. Her robes swept over the marble floor of her lair, and her voice, soft, smooth, a silken temptation, filled the space. I should have felt fear, but instead, I felt hope.“You’ve been patient, Adrian,” she said, her eyes gleaming. “But patience doesn’t always get rewarded. Not in this world. Not unless someone guides you.”I nodded, my fingers tightening around the edge of the chair I sat in. The firelight reflected in her eyes, dancing like flames, yet she

EdwardStrength returned slowly, not in a flood, but in steady waves that left me grateful for every breath that didn’t ache. Every morning, Albert would check my ribs, my pulse, my shifting capability, treating me like a fragile vessel even though he tried to hide it. Every night, he held me close as if my disappearance back into the void could happen if he loosened his grip for even a second.Every day, he would feed me his powers even when I asked him not to. I was afraid that he would drain himself out but somehow, he kept going.But three weeks after the ritual, I could stand on the training grounds again.I could breathe without struggling.I could shift for a few minutes at a time.I could lead.And that morning, as dawn broke, I stood in the center of the training ring surrounded by the wolves of my pack, their expectant faces, their loyalty, their silent relief at seeing me upright and alive.Cess stood at my right like a proud sentry. His eyes shone with both pride and exhau

AlbertThe pain started slowly at first, like a dull ache deep in my gut. I barely noticed it as I tried to focus on the task at hand, trying to keep my mind busy with anything other than the knowledge that I was about to give birth and someone wanted me and my pups dead.But as the hours passed, it grew stronger. And then… unbearable.I was pacing the infirmary, trying not to make a sound, not wanting anyone to know how much I was struggling. But the pain was real, a gnawing, twisting sensation that felt like my body was being torn apart.I had never felt anything like this before, and the fact that I was a male Omega made it even worse. Giving birth wasn’t supposed to happen like this… it wasn’t supposed to happen to me.I stopped in front of the window, breathing heavily. The dim light from the outside barely reached the room, the night pressing close to the walls. My wolf felt restless inside me, pacing with me, as if it could sense what was happening, or maybe it was just trying

AlbertPain came in waves.Not the sharp, tearing pain I had been taught to expect, not yet, but the deep, grinding kind that curled inside my bones and dragged itself slowly across my abdomen. It tightened, eased, tightened again, as if my body were knocking on a door I refused to open.I lay on my side on the cold stone floor, knees drawn up, arms wrapped around my stomach. The air reeked of old magic, blood, ash and herbs that had long since lost their potency but still clung to the walls like ghosts. The chamber was carved deep into the earth, roots threading through cracks in the ceiling like skeletal fingers.I did not howl.That was the first thing Bibi Kamwe noticed.She circled me slowly, bare feet whispering against the stone, her bracelets chiming softly with every step. She had changed since the forest. She was now thinner, sharper and her eyes were burning with a hunger that had nothing to do with victory.“You’re fighting it,” she said mildly. “Interesting.”I breathed t

Albert“Albert, decide. For the sake of our familial ties, I don't want to hurt you. But if you continue being stubborn, you will force my hand,” Aiden said as if he was a saint.I looked up at him and despite the pain I was in, I chuckled.“Familial ties? Did you think about familial ties when you kidnapped me, brother? Did you think about familial ties when you colluded with this witch to kill me? Do mom and dad know what you did to me? Do they know what you are doing to me now? So, Aiden, if you want to kill me, go ahead but don't think that you and I are family. We ceased to be a long time ago and the fact that I didn't tell mom about what you did to me wasn't because I love you. It was because I love her and I would hate to see her get hurt,” I said and as I finished saying that, another contraction hit.This one was so intense that I stretched my body on the floor and writhed in pain as I felt my pelvic tear.“Mama, we can't hold on anymore," I heard a voice tell me but when I s
