Semua Bab My Professor, My Enemy, My Mate: Bab 71 - Bab 80

Chapter 71Lessie's POVGuilt.That had been all that had churned through my chest, choking me like smoke in the air. I'd spent hours on the side of my bed, staring at the wall like it could tell me something. It didn't, it bore only upon it the hurting, crushing knowledge that it was mine.I shouldn't have been here.If only I had obeyed my father and never tried to escape, Alpha Duaine would never be where he is now. He would not be hearing rumor in council halls, would not be seeing his throne rocked, would not be having his name splattered by scandal.Maybe the moon goddess did steal our souls, but the world didn't care. It just stood there and did nothing while a nineteen year old woman was about to bring down an alpha.How selfish am I? I wanted to be free. I wanted to be free to choose love. But all I've done is pulled him down with me.I needed to see him, I just could not remain here without doing anything while his entire life was falling to pieces because of me.I moved

Chapter 73Lessie's POVI slept longer than I should, when I opened my eyes and touched the place where Alpha Duaine had slept, it was empty. The blankets were cold to the touch which showed he'd been gone for awhile, but his scent still lingered. I took up the blankets in my hand, wrapping myself around it more so I could perceive him well. I stood up after a moment to check if he was anywhere in the room but Alpha Duaine wasn't anywhere around here.Last night memories had come back to me, I remembered the taste of his lips, the weight of his body on mine.A flush spread over my cheeks, and it was spreading fast, before I knew it, I was face-down in the pillow, hugging it tightly with a stifled groan. What have I done? I asked myself. And not that I regretted it, of course I didn’t. Not for one moment. But everything seemed bigger now. More ominous.I slowly sat up, the sheets enfolded around my legs. That was when I noticed the note on the nightstand. My trembling hands went fo

Chapter 75Duaine's POVThe whole leaving the throne talk was crawling under my skin like a cockroach I couldn't find a way to dislodge. It’s been since the council, and they were still echoing in my mind, every sentence boring deeper, biting harder into me.How was I unfit to be Alpha. That she is too young for me. They threatened me to break the bond or lose the throne.They thought they could take from me what I had bled and fought to keep. I looked at the stack of books on my desk, the morning lesson plans I had made out. Teaching was my haven, I loved it. It always reminded me why I had fought so hard to protect this pack.But today, I couldn't bring myself to go to a classroom. I had skipped my own classes for the first time in years. That alone was a sign to me of how horrible things had gotten inside my head.I rocked back in my chair and covered my face with my hand, sighing loudly.Nathan.His name was bitter to even say it.He was now closer than ever before to getting

Chapter 77Lessie's POVThe following day, I woke up early to prepare for school, it felt as if a shadow was looming over me. The moment I got to school and was walking along the hallway heading for my class, I heard whispers all around me. I tried to ignore it initially. Maybe their glances and whispers was all in my mind. Maybe I was paranoid due to what had been happening between Alpha Duiane and the council members all because of me. But then I heard someone say it clearly."She's the reason he could lose the throne." Someone whispered. "She's wicked. I don't understand what spell she must have done to him." Another said."Have you ever heard of an Alpha trying to loose his throne over some woman."Those words they said, each of those words felt more painful than the last. I felt rooted to the spot, I wanted to run back home. To hide in my room and never come out again. But what would that get me? It would get me nothing. They'd just have something else to talk about, maybe t

Chapter 79Lessie's POVDave's words kept ringing in my head, "The only way you can lessen Alpha Duiane's worry is by taking care of yourself." He'd said.The tone he'd used, so final, so abrupt had registered in my head as almost threatening to me. Or dismissal? Was he hinting that I was to stay here was for a short period of time? That one day I'd have to leave this pack?My chest tightened with anguish. That was what he really meant.I stared at him for a moment, trembling hands at my sides but firm tone. "Dave, what do you actually mean? Are you saying I would not last long here that’s why I need to take care of myself? Or because you just can't get along with me?" I asked him.He turned to me immediately, his eyes wide with shock. "What are you saying?" he asked."So you heard me," I said to him moving so close to him that we almost were nose to nose, I was looking at him with the best scowl I could manage. My heart was pounding in my chest, but I was not going to let fear stop m
