Chapter 239
3rd Person’s POV
Lylah fell asleep first. The exhaustion claimed her completely, her body surrendering the moment everything was over. She lay curled against the sheets, breathing soft and even.
Ezra didn’t sleep.
Not right after that, when night fell, not even when dawn crept in again. He remained beside her, watching.
Finished
A quiet, almost reverent stillness settled over him as his wolf stirred beneath his skin, no longer restless. It had found its home.
Ezra exhaled slowly, the corner of his mouth twitching with a mix of awe and unease as another thought surfaced.
Yesterday, his body had moved with such instinct. As if something ancient had awakened within him. Every thrust, every grip, every shuddering breath had felt too perfect, too right.
Not learned. Remembered.
“Good morning.” His voice was low when Lylah finally stirred.
Her eyes snapped open, and she jolted upright.
“I have to go to the academy!” she blurted, panic flashing across her face. “Is it already the next day? Why didn’t you wake me p>
A chuckle rumbled from his chest. “I didn’t want to disturb your sleep. There’s no need to go. I can inform Grimwood to grant you leave for the day p>
“Don’t.” Lylah pushed herself up quickly. “There’s an important project today. I have to go p>
She froze mid-step.
A faint wince crossed her face as a dull ache pulsed through her lower part.
Ezra moved to her side in an instant, his touch careful now. “Let me,” he murmured, lifting her effortlessly and helping her prepare.
Lylah slipped out of the penthouse as soon as she was ready-much sooner than Ezra would have preferred.
By the time she reached Lunar Grace Academy, she had composed herself-but not without effort.
A high turtleneck concealed the marks scattered along her skin, though the faint scent of him still clung to her, impossible to fully hide.
“Lylah!” Iris’s voice rang out from the corridor of the Healing Department. She hurried over, eyes bright with curiosity. “Why are you dressed like that? Are you sick p>

Her words cut off abruptly.
Her gaze dropped to Lylah’s hand.
“Oh!” Iris’s eyes widened, sparkling with excitement. “Is that your mating ring? From Alpha Ezra? It’s so beautiful p>
Lylah’s fingers curled slightly around it. “Thank you p>
A mischievous grin spread across Iris’s face.
“Ah, so no illness, then,” she teased. “I think I understand the sweater now p>
Lylah stiffened, her eyes widening in realization.
“Okay, that’s enough. Stop teasing me because we’re already late.” Before Iris could continue, Lylah quickly caught her hand and pulled her along-
Only to nearly collide with someone.
They stopped short.
The air shifted.
Professor Corvin Vale stood before them, his expression sharp, his presence pressing down with quiet authority.
“You,” he said, his gaze locking onto Lylah. “I heard you returned to Blackfang a few days ago p>
“I did,” Lylah answered evenly.
“My student Coraline went there as well.” His tone hardened. “She has yet to return.” His eyes narrowed slightly. “And yet you’re here, Lylah p>
The unspoken accusation hung thick in the air.
“My next project is starting now,” he continued. “And if Cora fails to appear, there will be consequences p>
Lylah felt Iris tense beside her.
She could say it.
She could tell him everything-what Cora had done, the chaos she caused, how she ended up in the
treatment center.
But she didn’t.
“I don’t know what happened to Cora, Professor Vale,” Lylah said calmly. “Since she’s your student, perhaps you should ask her yourself p>
She dipped her head slightly. “Excuse me p>

Without waiting for a response, she took Iris’s hand and led her away.
Behind them, Vale’s face turned cold. His wolf stirred sharply, agitation rippling through him.
Finished
‘Has Cora truly become so careless that she would risk my MDT project over trivial matters in her mate’s pack p>
His jaw clenched.
Without hesitation, he pulled out his phone and dialed.
In the Blackfang Pack Treatment Center, Cora sat between her parents. Eldric and Daia had come to visit, their presence heavy with concern.
Her phone rang.
She glanced at the screen and immediately straightened.
‘Yes, Professor Vale p>
But the moment she answered, his anger bled through the line.
Even from afar, the old professor’s rage carried weight. And then he spoke, his words striking hard, sharper than anything Cora had ever heard from him.
