"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? ..

Norman:
I received a call from Maximus, so I put all my work on hold and rushed to my car. As I glanced at the sky, I realized I would have had to return home soon anyway. The storm was already beginning to set in.
The deadliest storm.
But right now, there seemed to be an even bigger issue at hand. When Maximus calls, it means all hell has broken loose.
In a very dramatic way.
After parking the car in the driveway, I let the guard take it to the garage while I sprinted into the mansion. Maximus' words from the call still echoed in my head:
"By the time you come home today, I will be gone."
With that playing in my mind, I rushed past the living room and slowed down when I noticed my stepsister and her mother having a conversation. For a brief moment, I saw Helanie lift her head, and our eyes met before I disappeared from her sight.
