All Chapters of The Professor, My Mate: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

PROFESSOR DANTE When I pushed open the heavy door to the auditorium, the first thing that hit me was her beauty.Lessie sat there alone, near the middle row, her back straight, shoulders tense, phone in her hand. She looked up the moment I entered, and her expression shifted in a flash of curiosity, recognition, then instant hostility.Her hackles went up like a cornered cat.“You?” she demanded, her tone sharp enough to cut. “How did you even get my number?”Her fingers tightened around her phone as though it could protect her.I shut the door behind me with a quiet click, the sound echoing through the wide, empty space. “You really should calm down,” I said, my voice level. “I’m not here to fight or cause trouble.”Her eyes narrowed. “That’s exactly what someone about to cause trouble would say.”I almost smiled at that. Her fire, that unyielding spark, always found a way to crawl under my skin.“I just want to talk,” I said.“Talk,” she repeated flatly, as if the word itself off

LESSIE The ritual circle shattered before I could scream. Silver chains burned into my skin as Celeste's laughter echoed through the clearing, his minions holding Dante down while blood soaked into the dirt beneath him. “Her wolf carries balance,” the witch hissed. “With it, we control the Moon.” Dante roared, breaking one arm free long enough to lunge toward me. “Don’t touch her!” The blade pierced him before he reached me, His blood hit the ground. Something ancient cracked open inside my chest. “No!” I screamed, throwing myself toward him, not caring about the runes slicing my skin open. The ritual flared violently. Light, then darkness. The witch shrieked, the ground split. . Dante’s hand found mine for one final second. “I’d choose you,” he rasped. Then everything went silent. I opened my eyes to endless silver. The Moon hung enormously above me and beneath it stood a woman carved from light. “You broke fate,” she said gently. My voice trembled. “He’s dying.” “He

Ariana The moment I finished reading my mother's note, I knew I was in trouble. A whole week alone in the same house with Marco felt like punishment from the moon goddess herself. I folded the paper, stuffed it back into its envelope, and shoved it into my dresser drawer as if hiding it would change anything. I told myself I’d be smart. I’d keep my distance. I’d eat when he wasn't around, stay in my room as much as possible, and wait until my mother came back. A week wasn't forever. I could do this. The first couple of days went according to plan. I barely saw him. I heard his voice a few times downstairs, deep and commanding when he spoke to other pack members on the phone. Once, I caught a glimpse of him walking through the garden from my window, his shirt clinging to him after what looked like a workout. I shut the curtains immediately, my heart hammering. It was childish, but I started living like a thief in the house. I made instant noodles at two in the morning, cre

Ariana The next day began with me avoiding anything that had to do with Marco. His outright rejection had cut through me to the point where I had nothing more but resentment for myself. I knew that it was remotely impossible to be completely out of his sight but after what had happened last night I would be damned if I allowed this to go on without putting an end to it. My mother would be returning soon and then she would find out that I had betrayed her in the worst way. A hollow feeling weighed on my chest as I looked around hoping that I would be able to find a balance and get a grip on my emotions. I was stripped of my sanity, but I had vowed to be in complete control of everything that had happened. Again, my stomach churned, "So, may I know why you have been avoiding me again?" A deep gravelly voice made me jump start. I had never expected that he was going to speak to me, especially just now. "What are you doing around here?" Marco's gaze fastened on me. "Ne

Marco's POV This little girl tested me more than anyone else in the world. Honestly speaking I was only keeping my cool because I didn't want anyone to suspect that we had a thing going on between the both of us but she kept pushing my buttons. The only thing I wanted to hear right now was the fact that she had finally surrendered. But that had to be done in such a way that nobody would figure it out or else it was going to be the top of the town and I hated such scenarios. "You are going to do whatever I say..." "And what if I told my mom what you did?" She fired back. "You wouldn't dare. Say whatever you like but you are not a person to expose yourself like that so I'm going to bank on that and make the best use of it. If you're ready, you can head on with it." I called her bluff hoping that she didn't go on with it. I had many things on my mind that I wanted to deal with but most importantly I just didn't want to start thinking about the worst things that could happen if h
