My Professor, My Enemy, My Mate chapter 33
Duiane's POVI had needed the walk more than I was willing to admit.The school training ground was empty at this time, everyone was either busy or too exhausted to be at the training grounds so I was alone with my thoughts. My boots tapped out the rhythm on the gravel.It was the rhythm of the storm within me.It was always her. Lessie or Kayla now.The way she would not come after me after her classes. The way she stood beside Trent as if she didn't require my protection, as if she wasn't in my charge.It bothered me more than I could possibly describe.She didn't realize the weight I bore. the secrets I concealed. Maybe she never would. But that wasn't going to stop me from doing what I said that I would do which was to keep her safe, even from the truths that I know would destroy her.I walked for a moment and I turned and headed back to my office. I hadn't even made it inside my office before Dave walked to me, his eyes narrowed and body tense. That was never a good sig
My Professor, My Enemy, My Mate chapter 32
Chapter 32Duiane's POVShe left that morning without even glancing back. Without even a goodmorning. No goodbye. No even damn knock on the office door.I lingered at the dining room table that morning longer than I should have, I was sipping cold coffee while the maids walked around silently, clearly not wanting to make a sound. Dave had already left to make patrol and the silence in the house was more stifling than it had to be."She has left for class," her maid said to me when I finally asked, but I already knew."She dressed up and left quite early, before dawn broke." The maid told me.Of course she did.I'd blasted at her in the garden the night before, I couldn't blame her. I reminded myself I didn't mind. That it was best I did that in that manner. That she needed boundaries drawn. That she was the one who was off her territory.But the harder I tried to focus on the council reports that were all over my desk, the more my mind kept drifting back to her face, how it ha
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
