The Professor's Mate Clause CHAPTER 136
FREYA’S POV Ten years after completing our bond, I wake to Adrian watching me. It isn’t unusual anymore. Somewhere along the years, we developed a quiet habit of existing like this, stealing the softest parts of mornings before the world demands anything from us. Before children burst through doors, before pack responsibilities settle like weight across our shoulders, before leadership turns us back into Alpha and Luna instead of just Adrian and Freya. But this morning feels different in a way I can’t immediately name. His gaze is steadier than usual, quieter, like he is remembering something instead of simply looking at me. “What?” I murmur, my voice thick with sleep. “Just thinking,” he replies. “About?” His hand finds mine beneath the covers, fingers threading through mine with the kind of familiarity that no longer needs effort. “About how different everything would be if I had never met you,” he admits softly. “If I had stayed the kind of Alpha who kept everyone at arm’s len

ADRIAN'S POV Aurora is seven when she asks the question that changes everything. We're in my office, her doing homework at the small desk we set up for her, me reviewing territorial agreements. It's become our routine, these quiet afternoons where she works beside me, content in companionable silence. "Daddy?" She looks up from her math worksheet. "When I grow up, will I be Alpha like you and Mama?" I set down my pen, giving her my full attention. "Do you want to be Alpha?" She considers this seriously, as she considers everything. "I don't know. Maybe. But what if Kai wants to be Alpha? Or Ember? Do we fight for it?" "No fighting," I assure her. "Being Alpha isn't about bloodline or birth order. It's about capability, desire, and the pack's needs." "So any of us could be Alpha?" "Any of you. Or none of you. You might choose different paths entirely." I move to sit beside her. "Why are you asking?" "Tommy at school said I have to be Alpha because you and Mama are. He said it's

FREYA'S POV The invitation arrives on a Tuesday morning, completely unexpected. I'm reviewing pack supply requests when Clara brings in the mail, setting a formal envelope on my desk with raised eyebrows. "This looks important," she says. The return address makes my heart skip. The North American Pack Leadership Summit. An annual gathering where Alphas share knowledge, younger wolves learn leadership, and new ideas are debated. I open it carefully, unfolding thick paper embossed with an official seal. *Dear Alpha Freya Reed-Metcalfe,* *The North American Pack Leadership Summit cordially invites you to serve as keynote speaker for our workshop on Modern Pack Dynamics and Equal Alpha Partnerships. We believe your unique perspective would provide invaluable insight to the next generation of pack leaders.* *The summit will be held at the Eastern Territories Conference Center in six weeks. We hope you'll consider sharing your story and expertise.* I read it twice, emotions tangling

Chapter 133 ADRIAN'S POV Six years. Six years since Freya marked me and completed our bond. Six years since we rewrote pack law and changed everything. Six years of marriage, partnership, and building a life that still amazes me every morning I wake up beside her. Our anniversary falls on a Saturday this year, which means the kids are home, demanding, and completely unaware that today is supposed to be about us. "Daddy! Aurora took my toy again!" Kai's voice carries from the playroom. "Did not! It's MY toy!" Aurora counters. Ember, not to be left out, starts crying in sympathy with whoever she thinks is wronged. Freya groans beside me, burrowing deeper under the covers. "Make them stop." "They're your children too." "Not before coffee they're not." I laugh, pressing a kiss to her shoulder. "Happy anniversary." "Is it happy? Because it sounds chaotic." "Chaotically happy." I slide out of bed, pulling on sleep pants. "I'll handle the children. You sleep." "You're my favorit

Chapter 132 FREYA'S POV Aurora's first day of pack school arrives with more drama than I anticipated. She's been excited for weeks, talking nonstop about learning with other kids, making friends, showing off her shifting abilities. But this morning, standing in her new clothes with her backpack almost as big as she is, my brave daughter is terrified. "What if they don't like me?" she whispers, gripping my hand. I kneel to her level, brushing dark hair from her face. "They'll love you. You're smart, kind, and interesting. What's not to like?" "But I'm different. I shift faster than other kids. Dr. Chen says I'm advanced." Her golden eyes, so like Adrian's wolf form, shimmer with unshed tears. "What if different means weird?" My heart breaks a little. Five years old and already worried about fitting in, about being too much or not enough. I recognize this fear intimately. I lived it for years before Adrian. "Different means special," I tell her firmly. "It means you have gifts ot

Five Years LaterFREYA'S POV"Mama! Kai took my toy!"I look up from the lesson plans I'm reviewing to see Aurora standing in the doorway, hands on hips, indignation radiating from every inch of her five-year-old frame. Behind her, I can hear her younger brother's laughter echoing from the playroom."Did he ask first?" I inquire."No! He just grabbed it!""Then go tell him he needs to ask permission before taking your things. Use your words, not your claws."Aurora huffs but heads back down the hall, her voice rising in bossy instruction. "Kai! Mama says you have to ASK!"I smile, returning to my work. Aurora has her father's sense of justice and my stubborn streak, a combination that makes her formidable even at five. Kai, our three-year-old son, is quieter but mischievous, always finding creative ways to push boundaries.And then there's Ember, our youngest at eighteen months, currently napping upstairs but likely to wake soon demanding attention and snacks.Three children in five y

FREYA'S POVI wake up to sunlight and the weight of Adrian's arm around my waist. The mating mark on my neck tingles. Fresh. New. Permanent. A constant reminder that we're bonded now. Officially. Completely. Forever.The bond itself is different. Stronger. More vivid. I can feel him even though he'

ADRIAN'S POVI watch her walk away. Watch her choose herself. Watch her leave me because I couldn't be what she needed. Couldn't see her properly. Couldn't treat her as equal. And every step she takes feels like death. Like losing the only thing that ever mattered. Like watching my future disappear

FREYA'S POVSomething is wrong with Adrian.He came back from those three days different. Colder. More distant. Like he's already started pulling away. Like he's already decided we're over but hasn't told me yet.At first I think it's guilt. Shame over what he almost did. The near-marking. The loss

FREYA'S POV Adrian appears at the top of the stairs. He looks at me. At Clara. At my bags. Understanding dawns on his face. "You're leaving. Now. Tonight."Yes." I force myself to meet his eyes. "Don't try to stop me. Don't make this harder than it already is. Just let me go.""I read your letter.
