My Professor, My Enemy, My Mate chapter 137
Chapter 137Lessie's POVOnce Aden finally stood up and walked away, closing the door slowly, I simply sat down on the edge of my bed, staring at the wooden floor as if the swirling patterns of the grain somehow could reveal to me with the truth I was seeking. There was something in what he did say that irritated me, not what he said, but what he wasn't saying. I could feel almost to the walls he put around himself each time his mother was in the picture, and although I did want to move further ahead, I didn't.Gradually, I turned to my maid, hanging the last of my dresses. She walked silently with determination, her small fingers ironing the material as if the minute detail monopolized all her attention. I hesitated for an instant, wondering if it was even fair to burden her with my question, but the silence descended around me.Tell that to me, I said softly, breaking the silence, "do you find Aden strange? I mean, do you find it strange that he just doesn’t want to bring his mothe

Chapter 136Lessie's POVI glared at Aden, smoldering just below the surface. I did not understand him, not by a long shot."Why on earth would you refuse something so important?" I inquired cautiously, my eyes scanning his face for even the slightest response. "Other individuals would murder to have the opportunity. So why you?"His face didn't change. He stood in the doorway, stiff and as straight as a stone soldier statue. His gaze didn't drop but nor did it change."My lady," he said, his voice even but just a little too controlled, "I am not in a place for my mother to live with me in the pack."I frowned. "What kind of position?" You're one of Alpha Duaine's fighters. And aside from that, you're a responsible one to guard me. Aden, that's something. That is to say, you're already proven. A jaw muscle twitched, but the voice was level. "In any case, Alpha Duaine may not want that."I nodded, bent forward across the arm of my chair, my brows furrowing. "Don't worry about him. I'l

Chapter 135Lessie's POVBreakfast that morning was eerily quiet.I put a piece of bread onto my plate, not being hungry. Usually, even if I had eaten alone, I might at least catch sight of Alpha Duaine in the morning at least, just to watch him go down the hall to make himself a cup of tea before he set off to work.But today, nothing. Not even a glimpse.It was like he dove into his never-ending work, drowning in the weight crushing the pack. I couldn't blame him. Following the death of the maid and subsequently the murder of guard too, I, and everybody else, was aware of how much weight lay on his shoulders. Everybody was speculating. Everybody was waiting for him to act as the Alpha.And yet. I missed him.I sighed and sat back against my chair, watching the maids move quietly around the room. The meal on my plate still remained untouched. Finally, one of the older maids felt it necessary to ask if I might have something else prepared, but I shook my head."No, I'm okay," I said
My Professor, My Enemy, My Mate chapter 134
Chapter 134Duaine's POVThe sun had already passed over the mountains when I was alone in my study, looking down at the reports on my desk. My hands were pressed flat against the cool wood as though the weight of my hands could soothe the storm raging out in my brain.We were no closer to capturing the killer.The maid's face that had been suffocated visited me every time I shut my eyes, her body stretched out cold on the ground, her bulging eyeballs frozen into a contorted expression. I had seen many deaths, many corpses, but the way of her neck-bent body etched into memory an image which would not fade.I myself had gone there to settle her family. It was not something that an Alpha would personally do, but presented it to them. The girl had passed away in my home, in my care, and nothing could ever soothe that hurt with money or words.Despite that, I had to try.I remembered the tears of the mother embracing my hands, the father's weight of grief-silence. I promised to provide

Chapter 133Lessie's POVI didn't leave school that afternoon like the others did. I waited around listening to the now too familiar sound of the footsteps that had been shadowing me for so long. And of course, Aden was by my side before I even thought the thought.His eyes were serene, watchful, too serene in fact, like still water over foul stuff and evil beneath.We returned home silently, the stamping of our feet on the stone pavements that reminded us of our way back to the mansion.In any other situation, I would have tried to break the silence with small talk, but that afternoon, I was tongue-tied. Trent's gentle comment to me in class that morning had been brewing in my head like an upset bird. He doesn't resemble a guard. He resembles an assassin.The word assassin haunted me. It brought to mind the day Aden appeared in my room sweating, the day the maid was assassinated. I had not yet shaken off the terror the day brought.Even before we could reach my chambers, my maid had
My Professor, My Enemy, My Mate chapter 132
Chapter 132Lessie's POVI sat in silence at my own table. I was making circles on the cold surface using my fingers, my thoughts a million miles away from where I sat.I said nothing, I took deep breaths, I even fantasized that individuals threw hostile looks my way and it meant something. Paranoia was no longer the issue. Something was wrong.Trent sat beside me, his expression graver than usual. He always entered with a joke or a wisecrack to lighten the moment, but today, not yet. The air that stretched between us were like a tightrope, and I felt his hesitation as though he wrestled within himself how to speak and how not to.I bent slightly towards him, my voice low. "You're quite subdued today. Something bothering you?" I asked him.He exhaled a deep breath, his eyes fluttering for an instant before returning to me. "I heard something yesterday," he said hesitantly."My father and Alpha Duiane were talking. They were talking about the maid who was." He couldn't complete the sen
