All Chapters of The Professor, My Mate: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Ariana’s POV I didn't know where exactly I intended to go when coincidentally, I bumped into Beta Dan. “I’m sorry,” I said quickly, steadying myself. When I looked up at him, Beta Dan didn’t seem fazed at all. His expression remained calm—just quietly observant. “It’s okay,” he replied after a pause, studying my face. “Is something bothering you? Because I actually saw you coming, but you were so deep in thought, I didn’t even have time to call you before you bumped into me.” His tone carried a hint of concern. “Actually, something is,” I admitted, turning my head as the sound of footsteps echoed down the hallway. A few guards were heading toward the far corridor—probably to where Marco had assigned them. “Are you referring to the tighter security measures?” Beta Dan asked. “Not just that,” I answered. “Then what is it?” he pressed. “I wanted to see Alpha Marco, to discuss the outcome of the meeting and a few other things,” I said, sighing. “Intially I approached him aga

Ariana’s POV For the past five minutes, I’d been palm-slapping my forehead, replaying everything in my mind. Now that I thought about my actions, I realized—I had acted on impulse. But it still felt like I had played right into Mother’s hands, doing exactly what she wanted me to. The thought made me burn inside. It was a bittersweet thing—having the biggest proof that could expose her, yet my body refused to betray her. Some invisible thread between guilt and duty held me back. The weight of it all pressed against my temples, making my head throb. I didn’t know what to do anymore. My mind was empty of solutions. What could I possibly do now? *** When I turned toward the window, the moon’s faint glow fell across my face. I blinked in surprise—night had already come. I hadn’t realized I’d fallen asleep. I was thankful, in a way—rest was better than overthinking—but I was no closer to finding answers than before. My stomach growled, drawing my attention. If I didn’t ea

Ariana POV I felt the doorknob turn again with more force this time, fighting against my grip and my breath hitched. There was no point in hiding that she already suspected someone was behind it. I wished it was Marco who held the knob, but it would definitely not make sense that Marco would react this way. Even as my hand battled silently against her turning grip, my eyes searched Marco’s for answers. The next five seconds of silence made me dread what would follow. “Open it,” Marco commanded. I swallowed hard, it wasn't what I would have wanted him to say, but there was nothing I could do now, finally I stopped resisting. I released the knob and moved back to his side. Mother walked in swiftly, her eyes darting between me and Marco as she studied us both. Her gaze flashed with a mix of surprise, confusion, and disapproval before dropping to my lips, then to Marco’s face. From our positions alone, there was no point lying how we were earlier. She could easily piece togeth

Ariana’s POV I didn’t expect to see her here. For a second, I just froze at the door, my mind scrambling to catch up. Had she been here all night? “Mother?” I blurted, blinking fast. “What are you doing here?” She smiled—that knowing, deliberate smile that never failed to make me uneasy. “Quite the opposite question, honey. Why shouldn’t I be here?” My stomach knotted. Something was off. “Marco is supposed to be—” “Alpha Marco,” she cut in sharp, her eyes narrowing in quiet correction. The title rolled off her tongue like a warning, and my breath hitched. I was already making mistakes this early. “Alpha Marco,” I repeated, swallowing hard, “is supposed to be here.” “Well, yes,” she said, settling into his chair with an air of control, “but he had an outing he needed to attend.” “He didn’t tell me that.” “Yes, well,” she replied casually, “he told me after our talk last night. So tell me, what else did he tell you?” Her voice softened with fake curiosity— the kind that h

Ariana’s POV “Miss Ariana.” The driver’s voice pulled me back to reality. I blinked, realizing I’d been staring at the letter for who knew how long. My eyes darted around—we'd already gone so far from the pack. The road outside was unfamiliar, and for a moment, it felt like I’d been dropped here out of thin air. I hadn’t lifted my gaze from that letter since Mother handed it to me. As we left the pack grounds earlier, I’d read it over and over again—front to back, line by line—until I was certain there was no hidden trick buried within her words. Just a simple letter for alliance… or so it seemed. But for who? “Where exactly are we headed?” I finally asked, breaking the silence that had filled the car for nearly an hour. “Luna Ellen instructed me to take you to a nearby pack—the Halo Crescent Pack.” My head snapped up. My jaw slackened, eyes widening. “A whole other pack?” “Yes, Miss Ariana,” he confirmed patiently. I didn’t fully understand what Mother was sending me i
