Chapter 13: Push Me, I’ll Burn You.

Lessie’s Standpoint

I rushed out of the hall, left Trent back there with a puzzled look and his hand half up. I didn't stop to tell him why. I just couldn't. Not with the fire in my chest and the tears coming to my eyes.

The cold air hit me hard, but I took it in. I kept going until I got to the back yard of the school away from the loud songs, the sound of glass, those proud faces... and him.

My shoes sank into the small stones as I moved back and forth.

I didn’t care.

I didn’t care about the dirt or the cold or the fact that I had practically abandoned my date.

I was done.

“Lessie, calm down,” my wolf whispered, but I was past calming.

“I can’t believe him!” I hissed under my breath, throwing my arms in the air. “He really brought a woman to that event. Just to make me jealous? I mean, who even does that? He's a whole Alpha, not a teenage boy!”

“You’re the one who walked in with Trent.”

“I was proving a point!”

“And now you’re hurt because your own

  • My Professor, My Enemy, My Mate   chapter 31

    Chapter 31Lessie's POVI just stood there, my heart was pounding furiously in my chest.Lena had just turned and left, leaving her scent around me like syrup glued on me. Her voice was still ringing in my head, and I did not even know what I was angry about, her knowing that I am indeed living in the Alpha's house or her misinterpreting that I was doing stuffs with Alpha Duiane.I hadn't told anyone else that I had left the dorm and moved in with Alpha Duine. Not even Trent.Now here he stood before me. Always tall and imposing, his eyes were on me like they were waiting for an explanation I wasn't sure I could give him. I squinted my eyes, I had no idea on where to start, I didn’t even know if I wanted to explain things to him.Lena’s words still hung in the air like putrid perfume. "Either you're something to him… or you're a pawn." Those words kept ringing in my ear.What did she know anyway. She knew nothing about me.I shook my head and started towards where Trent st

  • My Professor, My Enemy, My Mate   chapter 30

    Chapter 30Lessie's POVI knew I should not have gone into that garden. But I didn't require a lecture or an official rulebook to understand that.But Alpha Duiane did not have to talk to me the way he did. He sounded cold and harsh as always. Like I'd committed some awful crime against the manners of his residence. Like I was a nuisance and not a guest he'd invited to his house.When I went back to my room, I still wasn’t able to get much sleep that night. I laid back on the bed, beneath the heavy blankets that smelled of jasmine still my mind was not at rest and I kept turning around restlessly. I kept staring at the ceiling as if I was waiting for it to reveal something to me but nothing was forthcoming, and it did nothing to calm my heart.He could have simply told me not go there again calmly or he could have pulled me aside and explained it to me, but he treated me like I did not exist and spoke harshly to me.Finally, sleep came and overtook me after a few hours.I w

  • My Professor, My Enemy, My Mate   chapter 29

    Chapter 29Duiane's POVThe moon was above us, hanging in the black sky like a sentinel over secrets.But I didn’t feel like sleeping. Not tonight.Not when the tension in my chest pressed against me like an unwilling mountain that refused to move.I was surrounded by my own personal garden. Glowing fireflies danced around me, tiny lights in the dark, like splinters of reality that I'd been holding back from myself for too, too long.The truth.The one thing I couldn't explain to Lessie.The truth that I, Alpha Duiane, killed her blood.I hadn't meant to. It hadn't been personal at least. I didn't even know his name when I delivered that final blow. I was just doing what I'd been trained to do, secure my position, eliminate threats.I found refuge here a lot.The garden.Not any part of the estate, but this part. A place no one else dared to go into. Not Dave. Not the housekeepers. Not even council officials who thought they had a right to every part of my life.This was mine.

  • My Professor, My Enemy, My Mate   chapter 28

    Chapter 28Lessie's POVOnce Alpha Duiane had laid out his rules, he stood up, adjusted the cuff of his collar like he'd just explained rules to me that treated me like a child, and left without comment.He closed the door softly behind him as he departed.I just stood at the side of the bed for a moment, I was ensuring I got everything. His words continued to echo itself in my head.No going outside the estate without permission.No questioning his judgment in any way.I had understood the warning, but the manner in which he'd spoken to me, as if I were some savage he needed to lock up before it destroyed his neat-put-together world, it made my chest constrict.I sat on the plush mattress, gazing up at the pale cream ceiling. It was late. Most likely after midnight.But tonight, sleep was not for me.I rolled onto my side, onto my back, into a ball and tried to sleep again. My mind would not calm down. Maybe it was the new room or the silk bed sheets, or the faraway hum of the genera

  • My Professor, My Enemy, My Mate   chapter 27

    Chapter 27 Duiane's POVImmediately I stepped out of the council chambers, I popped the top of my shirt open and let out a loud sigh. Politics was dull. It was a never ending parade of self serving voices, self-serving ideas, and power games masked in civilities. This day was no different. The talk about border patrol, waste, and reinforcing or not reinforcing the western wall was all tossed around with the same sloppy condescension.But my head wasn't in that room or anywhere close to the meetings. My mind and head was filled with thoughts of her.Dave messaged me as it went down. Just one sentence.She's here and that was all I needed to know.I had told him beforehand, if she comes, he does it all alone because I’ll be occupied. The room should be set and neat. A Private maid booked, food laid on the table, the bed heated up, the windows open to let in fresh air and new towels.She was to be cared for, whether or not she had yet learned to believe it. She is a princess.A

  • My Professor, My Enemy, My Mate   chapter 26

    Chapter 26 Lessie's POVI zipped my second suitcase with a final yank and stepped back, looking back the chaos of suitcases and a half-lived life in this dorm room I was just about to leave. The very same one that had witnessed weeks of sneaking around carefully, the fumbling tension, and one too many blowouts.My body was holding me back. Not just the bags or the lack of sleep, but all the rest that had built up since last night’s Mate Selection Social.I'd decided. Trent. Not because he was flawless, not because he'd come after me or begged but because he'd asked me first. Because he'd done something for me and held his breath for it. And no, I wasn't going to deliver him in person like a prize to Lena to just to keep the peace. I'd come to terms with the fact that I was not here to be liked. I was here to live my life the way I wanted.I grabbed my backpack, then I pushed my small roller bag towards the door.That was when Lena stirred then woke up.I didn’t want her to wake u
