My Professor, My Enemy, My Mate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 91 - チャプター 100

Chapter 91Lessie's POVTrent and I fell into a strained silence after that, we just kept on discussing little random things, nothing profound, nothing about that conversation we had previously. We talked about the weather, how cold it was given that it was already summer, our teacher giving us useless homework last week, and even a new snack stand opening near the school gate. It was nice to let my mind drift to pleasant things far from the brutal storms that ruined my life.We half-smiled at a stupid joke that Trent told on one of our friends, and I had forgotten about the tension of the morning for a moment. Nearly.That is when I heard the loud, deliberate crack of a hand against our desk. It sliced through the room like a whip, and everyone was staring at us.Lena was standing there with a smug little smile creeping across her lips, her eyes shining with pleasure at commanding the entire room's attention. She didn't even glance at Trent, she was totally locked in on me."What,"

Chapter 93Author's POVLena was stretched across the floor, gasping, her palms pressed to the cold floor of the hallway. Her face ached where Kayla had hit her, and her scalp smarted where she had pulled at her hair. She was gasping and brimming with humiliation that enveloped her like a damp blanket.The commotion had already died the moment Alpha Duiane pulled Kayla away from her, but now that Kayla had disappeared, everyone's attention then shifted to her. She felt the burning rays seeping down the nape of her neck, each whisper cutting her. But the worst of it, the worst of it that brewed within her worse than the slap was that Alpha Duiane never glanced at her. Not even once.She had cried and turned over on the floor like some poor battered woman in distress, waiting for him to come to her, pick her up in his arms, and scold Kayla in front of the entire world. No, he had walked past her, his entire interest in that girl.She gritted her teeth and blew hard. He had the audacity

Chapter 95Lessie's POVI hadn't realized that I'd slept. One second, I was sobbing, tears streaming down my face, wetting Alpha Duiane's shirt as I clung to him, and then. It was dark. I'd slept the moment that my sobbing had stopped, his heart throbbing in my ear spinning me around, sweeping me into a feeling of peace that I'd not known for what had felt like an eternity.When I finally woke, I could view the rich orange color of sunset light reflected in the window.I pulled myself up slowly, still dazed. My head ached, and I rubbed my eyes. Already night? My heart beat a bit quicker. I shouldn't have slept this late. I never do, not where I am when I'm in Alpha Duiane's office of all places.And I glanced around the room and there he was.Slumped back in his chair, his face unreadable, sitting opposite me before his desk, was Alpha Duiane himself. He was the most handsome man I'd ever laid eyes on, the man who twisted my heart into a futile tangle of loss and desire. My mate.My l

Chapter 97Lessie's POVI don't know how long I remained there after Alpha Duiane departed, but the silence wrapped around me like some sort of strangling mist. At last I took a deep breath and headed to my room.I was restless as I got to the room, I kept staring at the ceiling. Alpha Duaine had a knack of occupying every possible space around me without knowing, to me it was like he was the center of the universe and the rest of the world revolved around him. Now he is out tonight for work.It shouldn't have bothered me that much. I wasn't a child who needed to be taken care of. I was old enough to take care of myself. And yet for some reason or another the mansion did feel emptier without him to me.I sighed loudly and ran my hand through my hair, I really needed to step out and get a breath of fresh air. I got up and walked towards the door, my bare feet making no noise on the highly polished wood floor.The hallway seemed to be quiet. But when I opened the door, I nearly ran in

Chapter 99Author's POVThe maid had gotten a bottle of water and she moved down the lane back in the direction she had come before previously, having left Lessie standing there by herself.Her step had been so slow at first, until she looked towards where Lessie had been and she wasn’t there anymore. She blinked and thought that she must have imagined it, but still she wasn’t there. “My lady?” she called, her voice sharp enough to startle a small bird from the low branches nearby. She moved in a slow circle, scanning left and right. “Miss Lessie, I’ve brought the water”.Still there was no answer.Her heart was pounding. She took a few hesitant steps, stooping down to look if perhaps Lessie might have wandered into the gardens. But the pathway stretched out in emptiness.The maid swallowed hard, a cold chill growing in her stomach. She shouted again, louder this time. "My lady! It's me, your maid! Where are you?" she asked again.She took in a deep breath sharply. She didn’t kn
