Lahat ng Kabanata ng My Professor, My Enemy, My Mate: Kabanata 231 - Kabanata 240

Chapter 231Lessie's POVThe very next day, the air in Dylan's pack at dawn was strangely silent.I totally did not sleep, my brain was literally running in circles the entire night long, full of unease and distrust.When Lena softly knocked on my door at the break of dawn, almost inaudibly, and said, "It's time," I did not wait.We moved quietly along the hallway, like cats. The packhouse was still and silent, except for a few guards at the door."Just remember, you search and I stand watch. If anyone approaches, I'll occupy them."I consented with a nod and gripped the minute key that I had. I was still uncertain what it opened but I was sure it was something significant.We had come to the study door. Lena pressed her ear to it, listened carefully, and then gave me a sign. "He is not in."I inserted the key and twisted it, while the lock made a faint clicking sound. Then the door slowly reopened with creaking."Be careful," I mouthed.Lena acknowledged and made her way to the entra

Chapter 233Duiane's POVI had barely put down the last paper on my desk when Dave walked into my office, his walk quick, his breath a little bit tired. He was holding an envelope tightly in his hand and his expression spoke of urgency."Alpha," he placed the letter down in front of me. "A young woman from Dylan's pack brought this. She said it was for you, personally."My face twisted in displeasure and my eyebrows came closer together. "From Dylan's pack?""Yes, Alpha. She insisted she came alone and by her own will. Said it was a matter of life and death."I reclined in my chair and my suspicion began to rise instantly. "And you let her through the borders?"Dave replied with a nod. "She was checked thoroughly. No weapons found. Also, no sign of dishonesty, just determination and fear.""Then bring both the letter and the girl," I said, after a pause. "Let’s discover the kind of message she carries."After the whole episode, Dave exited with a bow. My sight was fixed on the letter

Chapter 235Lessie's POVI was so anxious that I paced back and forth in my room, as soon as I heard the soft knock, I hurriedly opened the door, and there she was, Lena."Lena,” I took her hand as soon as she was in and closed the door. "Did you give it to him?"She nodded. "Yes. I gave it to him face to face."I became rigid and tightened my hold on her wrist. "Face to face? You mean you really met him?"She nodded again. "I did."I swallowed hard."What did he say he was going to do when he was done reading it?" I asked.Lena was watching the floor. "He said he would be coming for you soon."I was still stunned and could only blink. "For me?" "Yes. Those were his exact words."Lena took a seat next to me, her face showing a mix of understanding and fear even. "I am not sure what he has in store, Lessie. But one thing I am quite sure about is that he was serious. His eyes,” She stopped, looking for the right word. “They did not look a man wanting revenge. They looked like a man wit

Chapter 237Lessie's POV"I do not consent to this marriage." Alpha Duaine repeated.After that, Alpha Duaine took a step forward. Gradually, Each his step was full of the power that made even the whispers that had begun to spread among the people silent. "I said," he continued, his voice calm but lethal," I do not approve of this wedding". He passed me a fiery look that lasted for a few seconds that rendered me motionless. “Because she is going to tie the knot with a person whose love for her is non-existent and because she is my mate, I will just not allow that to happen.”I was caught by surprise and could not articulate my thoughts. He had just done it, he had called me his mate in front of all the Alphas and Lunas. His mate? A cold feeling invaded my body as I realized that I was motionless."What do you think you are doing here, Duaine?" Dylan hissed, stepping closer, his voice quivering with suppressed fury. "You dare barge into my territory, mess with my ceremony, and now you

Chapter 239Lessie's POVThe return trip to Alpha Duaine’s pack was rather taxing and hot. My dad spoke to me in private, and Alpha Duaine did not say anything throughout.Whenever I looked at Alpha Duaine, sitting on the opposite side from me, I couldn't possibly know what he was feeling by his expression.I was so eager to understand why he saved me. What more than his hesitation after everything I've done, the stabbing and the torture, would he be for me? But, I could not articulate how I felt because my throat was too tightly closed. Perhaps, he was only polite or perhaps this was his way of silencing and punishing me.My father sat next to me, not a word, occasionally placing his hand on top of mine just to let me know I wasn't alone. But he was very much present in the whole experience. He had seen death, seen Dylan die and then he realized how stupid he was to have trusted the wrong people and so he cried.The moment we reached Alpha Duaine's pack, I was caught off guard by the
