104. Letting Go

Albert

Two days.

That’s how long it had been since I arrived at Still Waters, and every hour felt like standing on the edge of a cliff, waiting to see if I would fall… or if someone would catch me.

The mansion was beautiful, almost too beautiful. Every room I walked through gleamed with effort, from polished banisters to freshly hung curtains, each detail whispering of Edward’s care. For me. That thought both warmed and unsettled me.

But even with all the soft bedding and warm meals, my body betrayed me. The morning sickness clung to me mercilessly. My stomach turned without warning, dragging me to the bathroom at odd hours. I tried to mask it, smiling when Cess checked in, forcing steadiness when the house staff asked if I needed help. But the truth was, I felt fragile… like glass too thin to hold its shape.

And through it all, my wolf kept whispering.

Edward…

Sometimes it was no more than a sigh in the back of my mind, sometimes a sharp tug in my chest when I caught his scent in the

  • Our Little Secret: In Love With My Professor    103. Shadows and Shields

    AlbertThe grand doors of the mansion shut behind us with a soft thud, sealing me inside a world I didn’t feel ready for. The air smelled faintly of fresh polish, plaster, and cedar, mixed with that undercurrent of Edward’s scent that was woven into every stone. It wrapped around me like a net, tugging at something primal in my chest.I had told myself that I was ready for this, for the bond, for the reality of living here, but already, my chest felt tight.“Welcome home,” Cess said again for the umpteenth time with a grin as he nudged my shoulder, trying to lighten the air. His voice was warm, unbothered, and it helped a little. He had always had that effect on me, like a shield that bent the sharpest blows.Edward’s presence, on the other hand, was heavier. He walked a few steps ahead, silent, but every move was purposeful, commanding. He wasn’t just leading us deeper into the mansion; he was staking a claim with every stride. And I… I felt caught between being proud of him and ter

    AlbertThe heavy doors of the mansion swung open with a groan, and for a moment, I just stood at the threshold. The scent of polish and fresh paint hit me first, layered over the subtler fragrances of stone, wood, and something unmistakably wolf. Beneath it all lingered Edward’s scent: strong, grounding and impossibly familiar.My chest tightened.It wasn’t just a building. It was a statement.The polished floors gleamed as though scrubbed only this morning. The hall stretched wide, filled with light spilling through tall windows. Rugs softened the stone beneath our feet, woven with intricate patterns I didn’t recognize. Everything here whispered of wealth and power, but also of care. Too much care.I swallowed hard, my throat tight. He did this for me.Edward’s hand hovered at the small of my back, not quite touching, but close enough to guide me forward. “Welcome home,” he said, again, quietly.The words lodged deep inside me, like a hook that I couldn’t shake free of. I glanced at

  • Our Little Secret: In Love With My Professor    101. The Weight of Arrival

    AlbertThe helicopter blades slowed, their roar fading into a heavy thrum that seemed to echo inside my ribcage. The moment stretched taut, every second dragging like an eternity as if the universe itself was reluctant to push me forward.Cess was already halfway out the door, his grin as bright as the sun overhead. He leapt to the ground with the unshaken ease of someone who belonged here, who carried Still Waters Pack in his veins. His hand shot up, waving, his voice loud and confident as he greeted those waiting below.But I stayed frozen in the cabin, my breath shallow, my fingers clamped so tightly around the seatbelt buckle that my knuckles had gone numb.I wasn’t ready.The truth punched through me harder than the desert wind. I wasn’t ready for the eyes, the whispers, the scent I could already feel tugging at me, pulling me toward something I both longed for and feared.“Al,” Cess called, turning back. His hand extended toward me. “Come on.”I shook my head before I even reali

    AlbertThe roar of the helicopter blades was deafening, yet inside the cabin, I felt strangely cocooned, as though the world had shrunk to this rattling, vibrating space. Every shudder of the machine climbed into my bones. I pressed my feet harder into the floor, but the thin soles of the shoes the villagers had gifted me offered little buffer. My chest thudded as though my heart wanted to leap out and find freedom of its own.I sat wedged between Cess and the window. Cess was grinning, his face alight with excitement as though this were a grand adventure. For him, maybe it was. For me, it felt like a march toward judgment, toward a fate that I had tried again and again to outrun but I had failed to succeed.I pressed my palms against my knees until my knuckles went white. Out the small window, the desert stretched endlessly below… burnt earth and scattered brush, villages nothing more than fading pinpricks. The place I had called refuge was shrinking into the horizon, and with it, th

    EdwardThe clang of hammers and the scrape of timber echoed across Still Waters Pack, and for the first time in years, the sound didn’t feel hollow. I stood in the middle of the training ground, arms crossed over my chest, watching as wolves worked together to raise the new sparring posts. Sweat gleamed on their brows, dust rose in the air, but there was purpose in their movements again. Not the despair that had clouded this place when I first returned.“Make sure that the ground is level,” I called out to one of the younger warriors. “If the foundation isn’t steady, you’ll regret it the first time you take a hit.”He nodded quickly and set about correcting his mistake. My gaze swept the field, and I made a mental note: these wolves needed proper drills, not just half-hearted skirmishes. They needed to be sharp. Strong. Not just for themselves, but for the future… for our future.Because Albert was coming home.The thought filled me with a heat that burned brighter than the midday sun
