Chapter 111

Lessie's POV

I could feel it in the pit of my stomach, the weight of something unsaid, something he was holding tight under his piercing glance and suave voice.

Whenever I looked at him, whenever I drew nearer to him, I could feel he was withholding something. He was not sharing everything with me. No, not even that, he was not sharing anything tangible with me.

And that was something that troubled me.

The reason he doesn't speak to me so much is that he's hiding a secret. And I was sure of that.

I smacked my hands together in front of my own bedroom wall, and my mind would not rest. If Alpha Duaine believed in me as much as he said he did, then why was he not truthful with me? Why did he treat me that mixture of love and restraint, as if protecting me was a case of protecting me from information?

The questions kept lingering in my mind.

Does he think that I would despise him if I were to find out the truth?

I clamped hard onto my lip. I was his mate. There was suppose

  • My Professor, My Enemy, My Mate   chapter 127

    Chapter 127Dylan's POVThe moment I opened the front door of my house, the scent of cedar and worn stone enveloped me.My home was lightyears away from Duaine's fortress, built for intimidation, mastery, and allegiance. Mine had been built for power and decadence. Walls appeared to narrate tales of carnage, conquest, and cruel excess. I threw my coat on the arm of a chair, the tension of relaxation seeping through my muscles as I stretched my arms out to either side of me.I was given less than a couple of minutes' respite before my Beta materialized in front of me. He had large eyes, was dressed in his impeccable finest as ever, and stood ready to bow before me. He bowed his head and spoke to me in his suave tones but underlying that a hint of eagerness."Alpha," he began, "today was fine. We have been able to put a mole into Alpha Duaine's pack."I leaned forward, not breathing, my eyes locked on him. "Already? That fast?""Yes," he answered, his shoulders set. "One of the new memb

  • My Professor, My Enemy, My Mate   chapter 126

    Chapter 126Duiane's POVWhen I heard Dave's voice behind the door had his voice taut with every syllable, my chest tightened up. I'd been with Lessie, she was safe and close as we were together but duty poked me again.I despised it. But as Alpha, I knew better of all that commitments had a tendency to crack in even in the most intimate, vulnerable moments.I sat up in bed so softly after a peck on the forehead in a hurry. My hand automatically went out to smooth the shape of her cheek before I pulled back completely, my heart uncertain but my mind preparing myself for whatever Dave was going to tell me.I flung the door open and Dave stood waiting there, usually impassive but hardened soldier's face creased in deep consideration. His head nodded respectfully, yet his voice remained professional as he spoke to me."Alpha, I didn't want to wake you so early, but this has to be done now."I arched an eyebrow, my voice still on the verge of anger. "It'd have to be really good to wake me

  • My Professor, My Enemy, My Mate   chapter 125

    Chapter 125Lessie's POVI woke up from the warmth that wasn't the blanket that was covering me. I had thought it was a dream, my brain was still fuzzy from the disappointment of the evening before. But opening my eyes and adjusting to the gray morning light coming through the curtains, I knew what had happened.Alpha Duaine was stretched out next to me.My heart raced. His arms were clasped around me tightly enough, nearly restraining me in fear of losing me if he let go in his hold. He was weary, even sleeping. But there was something else in addition to that too, something fragile.I wished for a moment to feel that he relied on me so urgently.Gently, I tried to roll over. I did not wish to wake him, I just wanted to roll quietly away. Perhaps fetch my glass of water, perhaps clear my head before I dived into the typhoon of feeling that burst forth when this close again to him.But the instant I moved, his arms clamped down more tightly and his eyes snapped open."Where are you

  • My Professor, My Enemy, My Mate   chapter 124

    Chapter 124Lessie's POVThe house was too still, the kind of still that felt like it pressed down on me, weighed over me, heavy. I was huddled in the sitting room.It was already nighttime and Alpha Duiane still had not come home.I went on calling him again and again but he was not picking up. With every call, that uneasy stench in the pit of my stomach was increasing.Something was off. Alpha Duiane was a planner, the type of person who always tied up loose ends. If he was running late, he'd call Dave, and Dave would let me know. But not tonight. No phone calls. And he was not answering.What if something had happened to him? I thought.I looked at Dave who had walked in, he had his arms folded across his chest, his expression steadfast as usual. I swallowed and finally gathered the nerve to say something."Dave, what if he had been hurt?" My voice shook, and the fear I had fought so hard to keep hidden surfaced.Dave looked at me, as if he was holding his breath for the question.

  • My Professor, My Enemy, My Mate   chapter 123

    Chapter 123Duaine’s POVI stood where Dylan had left me, his last words still lingering in the air like smoke that refused to clear. When I’m done with what I’m cooking, Lessie will come running to me herself.The haughtiness of the boy was pleasing to me, yet I also resented it. He was a child playing at a game far too big for his hands. It was not my time to waste going on conversing with him. I did not wish to be talking to a puppy that is acting like a wolf.The real thing loomed a few feet in my direction, imposing and towering, weighed down with the remnants of years and guilt, Shane. Her father.The man who had pushed her into a life of obligation she never desired, and the man who had just had the temerity to ask back for her like something owing to him and not even have the decency to listen to his own daughter.I clenched my teeth together and strode towards where he was standing. I didn't care who else remained in the room of the Alpha pack. Let them see. Let them hear. Th

  • My Professor, My Enemy, My Mate   chapter 122

    Chapter 122Dylan's POVThe tension in the Alpha Pack great hall remained palpable even after the meeting had ended. Some of the council members were leaving already, their voices hushed and cautious as if fearful that the very walls of stone would eavesdrop. I, however, stayed behind. My senses were heightened, my instincts grasping at me as though some concealed reality hung on the verge of discovery.I took a deep breath and let my wolf rise to the surface for an instant. The smells blended together, I perceived the far-away smells of cedarwood, leather, sweat, and dominance from having dozens of alphas and council members around. But beneath them all, there it was.I perceived something I had caught whiff of before.That smell.I looked at him, my nostrils flaring as understanding seeped deep into me like a knife. The scent was the same one I'd caught, in Shane's pack, on the same day I had come to his pack. I recalled it well, the acrid mix of pine and smoldering coals, carried
