My Professor, My Enemy, My Mate chapter 139
Chapter 139Duiane's POVI had summoned Nathan, had ordered him to the throne hall. I estimated word would catch up with him in due time, my guards travel fast but Nathan being what he is, he would be taking his own sweet time. He always did. Not that he was negligent, no, Nathan was a stickler for details. He was the type of guy who figured cutting it close to being late was another habit that demonstrated he did as he pleased, not as anyone else wished. I should have been furious, but I wasn't. At least, not at the moment. With Nathan, I'd learned rebellion packaged as charm was something to look forward to. He enjoyed being not predictable even when I could tell him to his face exactly what he was doing. But I waited.I rested against the throne, tapping hands on the carved wood of the armrest. For an instant, my thoughts shifted back to Lessie, her worried eyes when she told me to speak to Nathan. She had been right, naturally. If anyone was ever going to figure out the malevole

Chapter 138Lessie's POVI awakened with the first impression that my pillow had gotten as hard as rock. My head was wedged against something hard and fixed where I had slept in soft pillows previously. My arm was also lying uncomfortably, locked tightly around a body which was neither warm, but neither cold either, yet somewhere in between.I blinked slowly, attempting to slumber through my eyelids. I gazed upon dark hair, slightly mussed, and the unyielding edge of a jaw that I could discern even in darkest night.My heart skipped upward in a jump.It was Alpha Duiane.For a moment, I was sure it was a dream. But when he changed position beneath me, rolling over, I knew it wasn't. He was actually here. He had come to take me after all."Don't move," he whispered. "Just remain like that for a moment."The soft order stopped me. Something in the way he spoke, hard but soft kept me from talking. I curled around the outline of his body, my ear up against the hard beat of his heart. It

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
My Professor, My Enemy, My Mate chapter 136
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
