Chapter 62Lessie's POVThe classroom felt silent as I walked in and took a seat.I remained quiet, not actually paying attention to the teacher as he wrote something on the board. My mind was only able to dwell on all of it, my dad's voice, Alpha Duiane's confession, and then the punch that had shattered me. "I only did what I did in order to save my student."I was that student.I had smiled initially. Initially, I'd thought, this is it. He'd finally gone and done it. I'd wished he was man enough to stake me, to claim me once and for all, protect me not as a student, but as his mate. And then in a flash, nearly as quickly, I'd been yanked back off of that cloud. His school cover story was so natural, so practiced, like nothing. Like I was nothing.My pen hovered over my notebook. My thoughts weren't on the lesson. I couldn't help but think about what I needed to do next.If I went back to my father, I knew I’ll be entering an arranged marriage. A place where I'd never be happy a

Chapter 64Author's POVThe council chamber was a grand room made of polished wood and marble, a symbol of wolf superiority dating centuries back. The agenda for the day was heavy, but the mood was heavier than its typical weight. Alpha Duiane, the most powerful of the Eastern wolves, didn't show up, and no one seemed to not notice. His chair, towering above the rest, ornately carved with crests of his lineage, was empty. a pronouncement, unspoken, that he had other business to take care of or wanted the council to rage in frustration.Dave remained where he was, his posture tense, jaw set. Standing up for Alpha Duiane was not foreign to him, but today there was a sense in his belly that bad things were brewing. He kept his poker face, even as his senses remained heightened, waiting for the storm to hit.And then on cue, Dr. Nathan spoke. Nathan was not an Alpha, but his influence was deeply rooted. He was a healer and master strategist, he came from one of the most ancient wolf cl

Chapter 66Duiane's POVAfter Dave left the office. Trent just stood there. I shifted my chair back slightly, crossed my arms over my chest, waiting for him to speak."Are you okay?" I asked. "You requested privacy, now you can talk."Trent swallowed hard, his Adam's apple jutting up and down before he took a calming breath. His blinked his eyes frantically for a moment. "Alpha. I have to ask you something. And I want the truth."That voice. That tentative, almost hostile voice. I nodded my head, my eyes narrowing. "Go on."Trent's hands hung from his waist, his fists curled tightly, and then after a moment, he spoke."Is Kayla really your mate?"The words had hit like a stomach punch. My body rigid almost instinctively, but I did not give in. I nodded. "Yes," I answered.Trent's eyes were on me and for a moment there was something in them before he asked once more. "Do you not care about her?"The question swept me completely off guard this time. My jaw fell open, then closed

Chapter 68Duiane's POVThe council room was stifling. Every member of the council seated there was a force unto themselves, powerful, savvy, and conservative like shackles they wore with pride.And now, their anger were directed against me.I sat in the chair at the far end of the table, my hands resting on the carved wolf heads that adorned the armrests. I was calm on the surface, but a storm was brewing inside me.As we started the meeting, I knew Nathan would make a fuss, he'd always been trying to do that for years. But this was more than I'd anticipated."Alpha Duiane," Nathan's voice pierced the room. He stood up. "The problem we talked about last session remains. And I hear your situation still remains the same."A hum of murmurs went around the table.Situation. That was how he put it. As if Lessie was an illness.I slumped back slightly, my face had a look of indifference. "What situation would that be, Nathan?" I asked.He snorted. "The one where the great Alpha Duiane,

Chapter 70Duaine's POVThe corridor stretched out in front of me, it’s walls felt like it was closing in on me as I walked its length. Each step a battle to keep my hold from crumbling. Her eyes were on me, hot, accusatory, demanding an answer I was not willing to provide.I remembered the sound of her voice and saying my name, she said it twice and I did not deem it proper to respond.I looked away from her, I was not strong enough to confront her. If I had turned back, I would never have known what to say or do. I would have maybe said something to her that I would never be able to take back, something that would shatter the two of us.Dave trailed behind me, a presence that cut through and was welcome. I knew he was waiting for me to do or say something, to tell him what had occurred. I did nothing. I was under no obligation to.We walked towards my own wing. Those corridors were less populated and quieter. Secure enough for Dave to talk to me."You know Alpha Duaine," he started
