From Ikaris's POVArriving at Pi Alpha Sigma Tau, I went directly to the living room."Good morning, gentleman," I said to everyone as I walked toward the fireplace. Turning around, I glanced at the twelve members. All of whom had been hand-picked by Argos and me to uphold the Valerious values and traditions on campus and off. What had started as only six members over the years expanded to twelve, each possessing a specific skill set we would need in the event Alassandra arrived.However, everything changed when she turned out to be my mate. I had no idea what I would do, but one thing was certain: I needed to ensure that tonight's event went off without any problems."Gentlemen, tonight's event is to give you all a break and let you unwind. However, let's not forget that we have a goal as well. All of you need to recruit a new member, just as you were recruited. We need a total of six gentlemen; you know what we ask and what we look for. Remember, all those selected will have to reac
From Alassandra's POVThere was an intense throbbing sensation in my head as if a powerful force had struck me with a hammer. Instinctively, I reached up and applied pressure to my forehead, hoping to alleviate the excruciating pain that seemed to be emanating from deep within. As I sat up, a sharp, unexpected jolt of agony shot through my thighs, causing me to gasp in shock. My eyes darted downwards, only to discover that I was inexplicably clad in nothing but a T-shirt, a garment that did not belong to me. Hastily pushing the blanket aside, my attention was drawn to a small, tender bruise nestled between my legs. Tentatively, I gingerly touched the discolored mark, wincing as a surge of discomfort coursed through my body. Bewilderment washed over me as I struggled to comprehend how this injury had come to be. Glancing around the unfamiliar surroundings, it dawned on me that I was not in the comfort of my own room. Panic began to set in as I realized that my memory of the previous ni
From Alassandra's POVRing Ring RingThe sound of my phone jolted me from a deep sleep. Sitting up in bed, I noticed I was in my room. I was confused. Last I remembered, I was in Ikaris's room. I took a deep breath and tried to think about what had happened. I slowly began to remember the events of the night and the pleasure he gave me. Disbelief, grogginess, and disorientation flooded my eyes as my phone rang on my nightstand. I shook my head in an attempt to clear the fog and quickly grabbed my phone, looking at the caller ID to see that it was Lillian."Hello," I answered, rubbing sleep from my eyes."Ala, where have you been? I have been calling you for the past two days! Are you OK?" Lillian asked, her voice filled with concern."Yeah, I'm fine. Why are you so worried?" I asked, confused by her sudden concern for me."I need to talk to you. Where are you?" she asked."I'm on campus in my dorm. Why?" I replied.Knock knockThe sound of someone knocking caught my attention."Hold o
From Ikaris's POVLaying down with Alassandra after fucking her was the most satisfying feeling in the world. The touch of her hand on my chest as our naked bodies intertwined together was pure bliss. I never imagined that having a mate could feel this amazing. I wanted the moment to last a lifetime, but inside, I knew that our relationship would be the death of both of us. If we stayed together, I knew dire consequences would follow. Although I knew it would be better to end it, I could not do it. There was a possibility of death for one or both of us if we stayed together.Glancing down at my adorable mate, I took in her beautiful face and engraved every detail into my mind. Signing deeply, I slowly rose from the bed, dressed, and began gathering her clothes. As she slept, I began to dress her. My heart swelled with love and emotion. Leaning in, I kissed her forehead before carrying her downstairs. I held her tightly as we walked to the car.Driving to her dorm was the easy part. It
From Alassandra's POV Two days had passed since I last saw Ikaris. And Lillian had not responded to any of my text messages or calls. I had yet to look at the file she had left. As much as I wanted to know what was in it, I couldn't find it in me to open it. The memory of my parents flooded my mind at the mere thought of the file. It was all I had left of them. The idea of finding something that would tarnish their memories was unbearable for me.Vero had come to check on me, apologizing for not coming over sooner. In her defense, she said that since I had left with Professor Ikaris, she didn't think anything of it. I couldn't stay mad at her. If the tables had been turned, I wouldn't have thought anything of it."It's fine. I had a good time," I told her as we headed toward our first class. We chatted about our weekend plans before parting ways. Vero gave me a small hug goodbye before heading off to her class.I was excited to start the path to becoming a lawyer, only hoping that I
From Alassandra's POV"Professor Ikaris, it's nice to see you," I replied, glancing around to find some way to escape. Ikaris smiled as he stepped past me and pulled the door open."Just Ikaris, you need not be so formal," he winked, gesturing to me to enter the diner.The Darkroom, true to its name, was a dimly lit chamber adorned with opulent gold seats and crimson tabletops. The walls were adorned with a captivating collection of monochrome photographs, creating an ambiance of intrigue and allure. The bar, well-stocked with an array of spirits, added to the enigmatic atmosphere. From the moment I stepped foot inside, I was inexplicably drawn to this place as if it held a secret that only I could unravel. As I settled down at one of the tables, the mysterious aura of the surroundings both enticed and intimidated me, making me feel an immediate sense of belonging and fascination."Tell me, how did you come across this place?" Ikaris asked. A smirk appeared on his face as his gaze lin
From Ikaris's POVOur peaceful encounter turned into a chaotic scene in the blink of an eye. The waitress, who had just greeted us moments ago, suddenly burst into flames. It was a sight that left me speechless and in shock. Although Alessandra had spoken to her last, I couldn't believe it was anything more than a coincidence. However, as we made our way back to her car, I couldn't shake off the strange feeling that had taken hold of me. There was something different about Alessandra, something I couldn't put my finger on. It was as if she had an aura around her that I had never seen before. Although it piqued my curiosity, it also sent a chill down my spine.As Alassandra opened her car and turned towards me, she remarked, "Well, that was quite interesting." I nodded in agreement, curious to know more. "You never mentioned what brought you to that bookstore," I asked, crossing my arms.Alassandra tilted her head, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "I was strolling through the shoppin
From Alassandra's POVI was utterly scattered mentally. I found myself pondering things that I never imagined would cross my mind. What was supposed to be a peaceful trip into town quickly transformed into an enormous disaster when the waitress suddenly burst into flames. I couldn't comprehend how such a bizarre incident could occur. The echoes of her screams continued to replay in my thoughts, and the expression of sheer shock and terror in her eyes would forever haunt me.Then there was the bookstore. Ikaris' words left me with several questions. I found it incredibly difficult to believe that it had been closed for twelve years. I had been to the store and spoken to the owner; how was this even possible? As much as I had wanted to go back and take another look to bring peace of mind to myself after what happened in the restaurant, I knew there was absolutely no way I could return, at least not for a while. As I came to a stop at the stop light, I shook my head to clear my thoughts
