Harper Winters always believed in facts, not fairy tales. As a top anthropology student in Crescent Falls, she's more interested in ancient myths than in dating or fitting in. But when she enrolls in Professor Adrian Blackwood's class on folklore, she's drawn to the mysterious professor in ways she can't explain. His dark eyes hide secrets, and his presence sends shivers down her spine. What Harper doesn't know is that Adrian is hiding more than just a passion for history-he's the Alpha of a powerful werewolf pack, sworn to protect the supernatural world from lurking threats. He's also harboring an agonizing secret: Harper is his fated mate, bound to him by forces neither can control. But if he reveals the truth, he risks unleashing a deadly prophecy that could destroy them both. When Harper's research into the town's legends leads her into the heart of a deadly conspiracy, she finds herself caught in a battle between rogue wolves, ancient curses, and her own growing powers. Her mother's cryptic warnings and Harper's vivid dreams reveal a hidden lineage she never knew existed-and a destiny she can't escape. With the vengeful rogue wolf Marcus threatening to tear Adrian's pack apart, Harper must decide if she can trust the one man who's been keeping her in the dark. As danger closes in, and the lines between friend and foe blur, Harper and Adrian are forced to confront their unbreakable bond and the dark forces determined to destroy them. In a world where nothing is as it seems, Harper's only chance for survival lies in embracing the wolf within her-and the Alpha destined to be by her side. But some bonds come with a deadly price...

ALPHA'S LESSON: My Mate In Disguise. Chapter 1 ENIGMATIC PROFESSOR

The air buzzed with anticipation as I stepped into the lecture hall, my heart racing at the thought of what lay ahead. My senior year at Crescent Falls University had begun, and while my peers seemed settled in their paths, I felt like a restless wave, crashing against the shores of uncertainty. I had always known I was different-my obsession with the town's legends was just the tip of the iceberg.

I took a seat at the back of the hall, my fingers tracing the frayed edges of my notebook. It was filled with doodles of ancient symbols and scribbled notes about the wolves said to roam the forests surrounding Crescent Falls. My anthropology studies had ignited a fire in me, a thirst for knowledge that drove me to explore the mysteries of human history, but it was the whispers of strange creatures and forgotten powers that truly captivated my imagination.

As the clock struck ten, the lecture hall door swung open with a creak that echoed through the room. In walked Professor Adrian Blackwood, a man whose mere presence seemed to command attention. He was tall, with an air of confidence that cloaked him like a second skin. His dark hair fell just above his piercing blue eyes, which seemed to hold secrets too profound for mere mortals to understand. I had heard murmurs about him-the enigmatic professor who captivated students with his knowledge of myth and folklore.

The moment his gaze swept across the room, I felt a jolt of energy, as if the very air had shifted. I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to him than met the eye, an allure that drew me in despite my better judgment. As he began his lecture, I found myself hanging on his every word, each sentence drawing me deeper into a world of shadows and secrets.

"Legends are not merely stories," he said, his voice smooth and commanding. "They are reflections of our collective fears and desires, often rooted in truths we have long forgotten." His gaze landed on me for a fraction of a second, and I felt my pulse quicken. There was something intense in his expression, something that made me question if he was talking about more than just folklore.

The lecture progressed, but my thoughts were consumed by the mystery surrounding him. Adrian moved effortlessly between topics, his passion was palpable as he recounted tales of wolves that roamed the forests, protectors of ancient power. I couldn't help but scribble notes feverishly, eager to uncover the secrets hidden within these stories. The thrill of discovery was a heady rush, one that I craved more than anything.

With every moment spent in his presence, the restlessness within me grew. I leaned forward, eager to absorb everything he had to offer. But there was a tension in the air that I couldn't quite place, an unspoken connection that flickered between us. It was both exhilarating and terrifying, making my stomach churn with equal parts excitement and fear.

As class drew to a close, I was left wanting more. The bell rang, signaling the end of our time together, but I felt an ache of loss as he prepared to dismiss us. I caught his eye again, and the intensity in his gaze sent a shiver down my spine. There was a moment-a heartbeat-where it felt like the world around us faded away, leaving just the two of us suspended in that electrifying silence.

"Don't forget," he said, his voice low but clear, "the truth often hides in the shadows. It is your task to bring it into the light."

I could hardly breathe. Was he speaking to me? The sensation of being singled out in a room full of students ignited a mix of embarrassment and exhilaration within me. It was as if he could see past my restless exterior and sense the fire burning inside me, the insatiable need to unravel the enigma that was Crescent Falls.

As I gathered my things, I could feel his gaze lingering on me, an invisible thread tugging at my heart. I darted a glance back at him, and for a fleeting moment, the world around us ceased to exist. The other students filed out, laughter and chatter fading into the background. It was just me and the enigmatic professor, the weight of unspoken words hanging heavily in the air.

"Harper," he called softly, and my name rolled off his tongue like a spell. I froze, caught in the warmth of his gaze. "I sense a curiosity in you that goes beyond the ordinary. If you wish to explore these legends further, my office hours are open to you."

A mix of pride and disbelief washed over me. Was he inviting me to delve deeper into the very mysteries that haunted my dreams? My mind raced with possibilities, but just as quickly, doubt crept in. What did he really want from me? I felt the weight of expectation settle on my shoulders, and a familiar restlessness stirred within.

"Thank you, Professor," I managed to reply, my voice steady despite the tempest of emotions raging inside me. I turned to leave, my heart pounding in my chest, but just before I stepped out into the hallway, I risked one last glance back at him.

His eyes were focused intently on me, a smoldering intensity that sent heat rushing to my cheeks. At that moment, I felt both exhilarated and terrified, as if I stood on the precipice of something monumental, teetering between the known and the unknown.

As I walked down the corridor, I couldn't shake the feeling that I had just crossed a threshold, that my life was about to change in ways I couldn't yet comprehend. The weight of his gaze lingered on my skin, and I could almost hear the call of the forest, the whispers of legends waiting to be uncovered.

But as I rounded the corner, I couldn't shake the feeling that danger lurked just beyond my sight. A cold breeze swept through the hall, sending a chill down my spine. I brushed it off, dismissing it as nerves, but the sense of being watched clung to me.

In the distance, I heard a low, haunting howl echoing through the trees, a sound that sent shivers down my spine and made my heart race with both fear and exhilaration. I paused, uncertainty twisting in my gut, and realized with a thrill that I was on the cusp of uncovering the mysteries of Crescent Falls-if only I dared to follow where they led.

Just as I was about to step outside, I caught a glimpse of Adrian standing by the classroom window, his intense gaze fixed on the forest beyond. It was then I knew that my life was intertwined with the secrets hidden within those woods, and the enigmatic professor was just the beginning of a much darker mystery.

I sat in the gray, airless room of the New York State Department of Corrections, my knuckles white as the Warden delivered the news. "Parole denied." My father, Howard Sterling, had forged new evidence of financial crimes to keep me behind bars. He walked into the room, smelling of expensive cologne, and tossed a black folder onto the steel table. It was a marriage contract for Lucas Kensington, a billionaire currently lying in a vegetative state in the ICU. "Sign it. You walk out today." I laughed at the idea of being sold to a "corpse" until Howard slid a grainy photo toward me. It showed a toddler with a crescent-moon birthmark—the son Howard told me had died in an incubator five years ago. He smiled and told me the boy's safety depended entirely on my cooperation. I was thrust into the Kensington estate, where the family treated me like a "drowned rat." They dressed me in mothball-scented rags and mocked my status, unaware that I was monitoring their every move. I watched the cousin, Julian, openly waiting for Lucas to die to inherit the empire, while the doctors prepared to sign the death certificate. I didn't understand why my father would lie about my son’s death for years, or what kind of monsters would use a child as a bargaining chip. The injustice of it burned in my chest as I realized I was just a pawn in a game of old money and blood. As the monitors began to flatline and the family started to celebrate their inheritance, I locked the door and reached into the hem of my dress. I pulled out the sharpened silver wires I’d fashioned in the prison workshop. They thought they bought a submissive convict, but they actually invited "The Saint"—the world’s most dangerous underground surgeon—into their home. "Wake up, Lucas. You owe me a life." I wasn't there to be a bride; I was there to wake the dead and burn their empire to the ground.

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."
