"Let me take a look." The handsome professor, with his broad shoulders and powerful muscles, lifted me effortlessly and placed me on the desk. His strong hands gently lowered the strap of my uniform to examine the bruise from training. "Helanie! Why do you always end up hurt?" His voice grew husky, sending a shiver down my spine as I struggled to catch my breath. I had to remind myself that he’s my professor... and my stepbrother. I shouldn’t be seduced by his touch. "If anyone bullies you again, come to my office and I will deal with them," he murmured, his beautiful eyes locking onto mine. Despite knowing he’s forbidden, I couldn’t help but wonder—should I tell him about the mate bond I felt the night he was drunk? ..

Helanie:
I was horrified by the sight of Kaye watching me being carried in the arms of Penn. I knew it looked bad, but why would it bother me? It shouldn't, right?
But it did.
The hurt in his eyes made me feel like dying in that moment. Oh, wait—I would die from the pain.
Penn only gave Kaye a brief nod before rushing past him to take me upstairs. I couldn't do anything; the pain was too much. Kaye, on the other hand, seemed frozen in place, as if he wasn't one for grand gestures anyway.
I closed my eyes because, at this point, I didn't even want to see what was going on around me anymore. I didn't want anyone to see me either.
But that was inevitable—we were spotted before we could even reach the elevator.
"Wait!"
A loud, gruff voice stopped us.
