My Professor, My Enemy, My Mate chapter 159
Chapter 159Lessie's POVI was sad. But why?The question burrowed in my chest, a weight that fluttered on the wings of a bird awakened in a nest. Alpha Duaine's words lingered in my mind, each syllable heavy as though it would not be wiped away. He had said it, openly and without shame, to killing a life, no, to having killed many lives, not all of them on the field. He had killed because he was ambitious, because he did not want to appear weak, because he wished to appropriate to himself what he thought was his own. I could not express the torrent of feeling within me. Disappointment, naturally, but confusion, and sadness, and a curious kind of pity which eluded me. Before he was a gentle lover and, in some manner that didn't make sense to me, a figure in my life, someone I relied upon, someone who instructed me. He was the kind of Alpha who fought wars and never even flinched at violence. The kind of Alpha who would murder to get what he wants and then sit up straight on the thr
My Professor, My Enemy, My Mate chapter 158
Chapter 158Author's POVIt was a chilly and miserably cold night.Outside, the winds whistled softly, shaking the palace room windows, as the heavy shroud of cloud hid the moon. The fire had dwindled to reluctantly orange embers and the wall shadows flickered weakly.Lessie and Duaine were sprawled out on the bed but worlds apart in spirit. She lay on her back, gazing up at the ceiling as if searching for hidden stars. He was curled over beside her, his broad shoulders against the wall, his face toward the opposite end of the room. His breathing was even, but not the kind of man that was sleeping, it was deep, the kind brought on only by big thoughts.She could feel it.Something was gnawing at his mind.For days she had noticed the way his eyes stayed a little too long on nothing in particular, or the way he would scrunch up his lips and pull them in tight as if biting back words. He smiled less, laughed less. And now that their silence burst between them, Lessie's heart ached for

Chapter 157Duaine's POVI was where I could see her.Lessie was out in the courtyard, near the flower bed that had begun to bloom again since the rains. She was speaking with her maid, I could hardly hear what she was saying but easily imagine. The movement of her lips, the sparkle in her eyes when she smiled, it tightened my chest.She was smiling. Really smiling.Her happiness was a light that seemed to light even the most shadowed corners, here. She tipped her head to one side as her maid said something witty, and her laughter, though I was distant was distinct enough that my heart tightened with pleasure and pain.She was so beautiful. So free.What if I am the very reason for her losing that joy?The idea gnawed deep within me, would not release.For I had had the truth.I'd murdered her brother.And she, innocent, sweet, naive Lessie had no clue. She'd smiled at me, leaned on me, allowed me through the gates of her heart, and she'd had no clue that the son of her father's pac

Chapter 156Lessie's POV"Aden," I cut him off harshly, stopping him once more from another frantic bid for escape. My voice was harsher than I'd intended. "You're lying to me."He stilled, the muscles along the line of his shoulders contracting into a hard knot under his skin as if it hurt him that he'd spoken them. He turned to look at me again, reluctantly, his face a cloak of assumed innocence."I am not lying to you, my lady," he answered in reluctant guarded voice.I glared. "You don't think you're going to get under my skin, Aden. I've been looking for you on pack grounds, training grounds, stables, even kitchen staff for two days, and no one's seen you since yesterday. And you think I'm going to believe you've been 'training' the entire time?"His face turned rosy bright. His eyes dropped, his fists unclenching over his ribcage. "I didn't mean"I was breathing hard then urged him again. "I'll only ask you once, Aden. Once. Where were you?"There was a charge between us, thick
My Professor, My Enemy, My Mate chapter 155
Chapter 155Lessie's POVIt has been two days since I hadn't heard from Aden.I blamed myself first. Guards were kept busy on their hands by assigned tasks to them. They rotated shifts, trained one another, or ran errands for commanding officers. But Aden was no ordinary guard, he is my guard. He ought to be with me, or at call-distance away at least when I needed him. His disappearance was already making me bite my lips.By the second morning, I couldn't get over it. I paced my room wildly, tugging on the curtain and looking out at the courtyard below as if he somehow would appear among the men striding. But he didn't.My maid was folding freshly laundered linens when I turned to confront her in a flash. "Have you seen Aden today?" I asked.She looked up, her eyes snapping with alarm at the stiffness of my voice. "No, my lady. I have not laid eyes upon him since yesterday afternoon."I scowled and bitten my lip. "Go and ask around. Check if anyone has seen him. And don't just talk to
My Professor, My Enemy, My Mate Chapter 154
Chapter 154Author's POVThe council had just finished up, the elders rising one by one from their benches, their robes rustling as they talked quietly to each other. Their discussions had been long as they had arguments about security, mistrust, and the nagging tension of the killings that still hung over the pack like a dark cloud.Alpha Duaine, in the front row, had ridden it out. His mask-like face was its impassive countenance. His eyes darted over the backs going away, his mind already leaping over the niggling quarrels and into those that weighed upon his mind more immediately. He had heard, answered when he was called upon to, but otherwise lay uninvolved. That was his style, controlled, measured, deliberate.And as he stood to leave, a voice called him.Alpha," Nathan called smoothly, striding ahead before the hall began to clear. His presence, always commanding, had an edge to it that few ignored. "May I have a word with you, in private, please? It concerns the information I
