Mated to My Orc Professor: A Dark Academia Monster Breeding Short

Office hours were supposed to save her grade—not ruin her self-control.

When her Comparative Literature paper comes back with a brutal D-plus, one exhausted, overworked postgraduate student drags herself to Professor Dargan’s office to beg for extra credit. She expects a makeup assignment or a reading list, not eight feet of green-skinned orc muscle in tweed calmly reminding her that “real effort demands real commitment.”

She’s always noticed him in the sharp mind, the dry humour, the way his shirt strains over his shoulders. Alone with him in his cramped, book-lined office, that quiet fascination turns into something much more dangerous. One reckless decision during “extra credit” unleashes an ancient orc mating bond, flooding her body with heat and need she doesn’t understand—and only he can soothe.

Dargan has spent years keeping tight control over his orc instincts and his position in human academia. He never meant to claim a mate, let alone a brilliant, chaotic student who argues with his lectures and lights up his carefully ordered world. But once orc biology chooses, there’s no going back. His magic gradebook marks her as his, his body refuses to let her go, and the university’s rules suddenly feel very small compared to the pull of fate.

Trapped together in after-hours tutorials, she has to decide if she’s willing to surrender more than just her GPA. Because being mated to an orc professor doesn’t stop at one desperate night over his desk—it means lectures given while she’s secretly full of his magic, exams written with his claim still warm inside her, and a future where graduation might come with a very permanent “extra credit” project.

Mated to My Orc Professor is a darkly funny, intensely steamy monster romance short set in a modern university where magic and academia collide. Expect a possessive orc professor, an overwhelmed but enthusiastic adult student, an irresistibly intense mating bond, and a filthy-sweet happy ending that leaves her top of the class in all the wrong subjects.
