At Aurelius University, education works a little differently. For over a century, the prestigious institution has paired its students into carefully matched dominant and submissive partnerships, believing that structure, guidance, and trust help shape students into the strongest versions of themselves. When Reina Castillo, a determined biochemistry freshman, chooses to attend Aurelius against her family's wishes, she knows the Matching Ceremony will change everything. What she doesn't expect is to be paired with Matteo-the same intimidating man who found her alone in the woods the night before. Reserved, stubborn, and carrying the weight of her family on her shoulders, Reina struggles to adjust to both college life and the powerful presence of the dominant assigned to guide her. But Aurelius isn't just about academics. As the semester unfolds, Reina must learn to confront her fears, challenge her independence, and discover who she truly wants to become. This is the story of growth, trust, and the complicated journey of finding strength in yourself-sometimes with someone else guiding the way. Ongoing! Updates multiple times per week :D!

And you will respect that." The words struck like ice through my chest. My breath caught. "Wife? When did you propose? When... how..."
