Semua Bab FORBIDDEN FATE: MY PROFESSORS' MATE: Bab 91 - Bab 100

Aliyah's POV I woke up that morning feeling a little lighter than usual, the sun filtering through the thin curtains of my new dorm room at Lunar Royal. It had been a couple of weeks since I settled in as Liona Travison, and honestly, it was starting to feel okay. No drama, no whispers behind my back, just classes and quiet nights. Aiden had texted me last night after our coffee chat, asking if I wanted to grab dinner tonight. I said yes–why not? He was easy to talk to, no strings, no pressure. Just a nice guy in a world that had thrown too much crap my way.I grabbed my phone off the nightstand to check the time, it was still early, I had plenty of time before my first class. But as I unlocked it, a message popped up from Becca. I tapped it open."Hey girl, hope you're settling in okay wherever you are. Just a heads up, Tyler and Skylar are flipping out looking for you. They've been asking everyone, even came by my place yesterday. They're not giving up. Stay safe, okay? Miss you."

Aliyah's POVThe next morning came way too soon. I woke up to the beeping of the monitors and the faint hum of hospital activity outside my room. My head felt clearer, no more fuzziness from the sedative, but my body ached like I had run a marathon. The doctor had said I'd be discharged today, and honestly, I couldn't wait to get out of here. Hospitals always made me feel trapped, like the walls were closing in on me. But there was this weird mix of relief and nervousness bubbling inside me. My Zeen wolf was back, fully awake, and I could feel her strength pulsing through me, making everything sharper–sounds, smells and even my emotions. It was like I had been living in black and white and suddenly everything popped into color. Still, I wasn't ready to dive into what that meant for my messed-up life.I shifted in the bed, pulling the thin blanket up to my chin, and glanced over at the chair where Aiden had been last night. He wasn't there now, but his jacket was draped over the back,

Aliyah's POV My heart slammed against my ribs as the stranger's words hung in the air. "We need to talk. About your real identity." His voice was low and gravelly, like he had smoked too many cigarettes. He had a sharp jaw, his graying hair peeking from under the hood, and eyes that pinned me in place. My wolf growled inside, ready to shift if things went south, but I forced myself to stay calm. Who was this guy? Did he know I was Aliyah, not Liona? Panic bubbled up my stomach.Aiden tightened his grip on my arm, stepping half in front of me. "Hey, back off, man. Who are you? You can't just creep out of the shadows like that."The man ignored Aiden, his gaze locked on me. "Liona Travison. Or should I say, the girl pretending to be her. We have mutual friends who sent me."I swallowed hard, my heart racing against my chest. Mutual friends? Leah? Or someone from back home sniffing around? I couldn't risk Aiden hearing any of this. He was already looking at me funny with worry creasin

Tyler's POV I woke up that morning with a knot in my gut that wouldn't loosen, the kind that made every breath I took feel heavy. Aliyah had been gone for weeks now, vanished from Silver Haven like smoke, and it was eating me alive. She was my mate–our mate–and without her, everything felt wrong. The pack was fraying at the edges, and I couldn't even perform the ritual to pull us back together because she was the key, the Zeen wolf we needed. She was not going to be used like a sacrifice for the ritual, just the energy of her Zeen powers, but she was out the door before I could even explain.But I had given up on that idea anyway, using her like some tool wasn't right anymore. Not after what she had told me about Skylar's real plans.I headed straight to the pack house, my boots thudding against the dirt path. The air was crisp, but I barely noticed. My mind was on her, where she could be, if she was safe. As Royal Beta, I had held the Blood Bane pack together for years while Skylar

Aliyah's POV I stared at the door, my heart pounding like a drum in my chest. The knob rattled slightly as Chase knocked again. "Hello? Come on, open the door. I’m not here to cause trouble. I just want to talk."My mouth went dry. Panic surged through me, making my fingers tingle. I glanced around the room, spotting the burner phone on the bed. I snatched it up and typed out the code Leah had given me: "Red moon rising." I hit send to the number in the envelope, my hands shaking so bad that I almost dropped the phone. Please, let Dale and Calvin be close. Please let them get here fast."Liona, I can hear you in there," Chase said, his voice was calm but firm. "I know you're not the real princess. Leah sent you, didn't she? To throw me off her trail."I backed up until my legs hit the bed. Fear twisted in my gut. How did he know? Had he been watching me all day? I thought I'd been careful, sticking to classes and avoiding the rink. But here he was, right at my door. My wolf growled l
