All Chapters of My Professor, My Enemy, My Mate: Chapter 221 - Chapter 230

Chapter 221Lessie's POVLena got up from her dressing table and headed towards the door first. I watched her in silence, curious about what she was doing.She spoke nothing and turned the key in the lock. She unbuckled the mounds of jewelry lying about on her neck and wrists."I can breathe now," she said with a small smile, glancing back at me over her shoulder. "I hate these things sometimes. They sit so beautifully, but they are like chains."I smiled uncertainly, though my head was reeling with jumbled thoughts. She did rise and sit down beside me on the bed, which groaned faintly beneath her."I'll be honest with you about Dylan," she began quietly. "But you have to promise me something first, Lessie. Don't speak until I've finished." It isn’t an easy story for me to recount. "I promise," I said quickly."Dylan's father. he was a monster and an Alpha.""He ruled his pack through fear, not obedience. He murdered for money, for fame, and even sometimes just for the twisted pleas

Chapter 223Lessie's POVCould this really be the case? Was she really saying the truth about Alpha Duaine?I was in the dark hall, feeling the need to cling tightly to myself and doing it at the same time, swinging back and forth, my thoughts split between suspicion and faith. The packhouse that night was very quiet with the soft noise of dishes being washed in the kitchen and the rare crackling of the floorboards underneath me that accompanied my anxious walking.If she had lied then she would have said something negative about Alpha Duaine. At one point, she was after him; she even confessed it.Any woman who was still feeling sad about a romance that she could not have would take every chance to tarnish that man's reputation. But she did not do so. Instead, she protected him, thus her words became stronger.She had no reason to lie, I kept telling myself stubbornly.Then there was her father, the beta of Dylan's father, a man who was the existence and the work of the rule of Dylan

Chapter 225Duiane's POVThe trip to Trent's dad's pack took a while, the road winding through forest thick with mist and silence.The moonlight dripping reluctantly through the archway, creating silver streams on the curved brown trail. The longer I traveled, the more the memories came back, memories of the days I had been on Alpha Henry's side, Trent's dad, when I was still discovering how to be an alpha. He was one of those rare Alphas whom I had a certain respect for, smart, strong, and not willing to sugarcoat and tell a person the truth even if it was painful.As his massive pack gates came into view, two guards stepped out, sniffing the air quickly as they caught wind of me. Their hackles rose almost immediately, and both of them bowed low."Alpha Duiane," replied one of them."We weren't expecting you to come tonight,""I haven't come to waste words," I replied, opening the car door. "Inform Alpha Henry that I'm here. I'll be waiting in his hallway."The guard nodded hastily a

Chapter 227Lessie’s POVThat day I woke up so early and the first thing I noticed was the nonstop knocking on my door that finally made me aware of my surroundings. There was a pack guard at my door with a face that showed anxiety but at the same time was perfectly respectful.“My lady,” he said, bowing and at the same time slightly turning his body, “the Alpha has come back. He has just arrived.”I was just there for a moment, hanging, unsure whether to take a breath or not. Dylan was back.My heart was beating rapidly and sharply. The day before I had been hoping for this in the first place, waiting, thinking, worrying, and going through my father's lessons. And now right in front of me was Dylan, and a flood of questions rushed into my mind all at once, and just one was the strongest. Where was he?“I’m coming to him,” I said in a hurry, getting up from the chair that I had felt like I had been occupying for ages.The pack house was strangely silent. Every security guard I met on

Chapter 229Duiane's POVI just opened my study door slightly when I instantly sensed that something wasn't right.My senses are always on alert. It was Dave.His figure was at the other window, still and upright, with his hands hidden behind him in that military manner that he always managed to keep. I was there just staring at him for a short while, the sunbeam catching the very edge of him, the tightness of his shoulders, the soft thumping of his pulse that my wolf could sense instantly. Something was off.I finally said, "Dave," and moved further into the room. I made loud noises with my boots on the floor wax as I reached for my desk. "You are early. You were meant to be with Nathan."He slowly turned himself and looked at me with a very hard face. "I was, Alpha. However, there was something that could not wait."He remained silent and in return, he put an old, wrinkled sheet of parchment on the desk between us. It had the crest of a person I recognized on it and the wax had the
