"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? .. When her parents rejected each other, Helanie went from being her daddy's angel to a neglected and forgotten child. But on her eighteenth birthday, things took a dark turn. When her body went into heat, she attracted a group of alphas. Instead of rescuing her, her secret alpha boyfriend ran away. That night changed Helanie’s life forever. Accused of consenting to the attack, she was sentenced to execution by her own pack. Desperate, she fled, determined to find her mother. What she didn’t expect was to find her mother preparing to marry a rogue king with four dangerously handsome and beastly sons. Things turn even darker when she felt a mate bond with her bully stepbrothers, will she be able to escape their claws or their seduction will ruin her life to next extremes? .. Facebook - Alexis Dee

I drove to the shelter, not keeping the time or the rain in mind. Since Kaye refused to talk about Helanie's perfect dream, I wanted to ask her myself. Something must have happened in that dream prison that changed Kaye so much. He looked so lost.
"I have a very bad feeling about this. What will you even say when calling her out of the shelter at this time of night?" Xim questioned, showing his reluctance to support my idea of confronting her.
"I will say we brothers decided to ask her one last time if she still wants to be part of the tests after what happened—" I paused mid-sentence, "I'll just make up some excuse. It's not like anyone can dare to ask me any questions."
I was growing impatient; my veins felt like they were about to explode. Why wouldn't Kaye want to talk about what happened in the dream prison? Did he really not remember anything like he claimed? If that were true, then why the change of heart?
