All Chapters of Mated to My Alpha Bully : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

DRAKE'S POV I drove my fist into the heavy punching bag again and again, each punch harder than the last. Sweat dripped from my forehead down to my shirt. I had been training like this for days. Anything to keep myself in check. Ever since the marking, my emotions had been all over the place. One moment, the mate bond made me restless, fucking horny and painfully aware of Chloe. The next, I was angrier than usual, irritated by the smallest things. I had been dealing with this for the past two weeks, and I was slowly reaching my limit. That was why I was hiding out here. The main estate gym was far enough from the Heir's Residence that I could train without having to see her. It was the only place I could burn off my frustration, especially with university starting tomorrow, which meant being stuck with Chloe more than ever. I fixed my focus on the bag again, and finished with a hard hook that sent it swinging several feet away. "You'll hurt yourself if you keep going so ha

CHLOE’S POV “That mark means nothing!” I snapped. My voice cut through the night, fueled by all the anger I had been holding inside. I quickly pulled my jacket back over my shoulders and stepped forward, refusing to back down as I met Drake’s eyes. “I barely even remember it’s there. And besides, I can do whatever the hell I want!” The corner of Drake’s mouth lifted slightly, but I refused to let his reaction intimidate me. I closed the remaining distance between us, jabbing a finger against his chest. “You know what? The very first thing I’m going to do when we start uni tomorrow is go find someone else to fuck!” For a moment, Drake simply stared at me. He didn’t move. He simply stood there, watching me with that infuriating calmness that made me want to scream. Then his lips twitched, and a humorless laugh escaped his throat. “Go ahead. I don’t give a single fuck who you sleep with, Chloe.” His dark eyes stayed locked on mine. “Just don’t fool yourself into thinking you w

CHLOE’S POV The excitement bubbling in my stomach was impossible to ignore as I finished getting dressed. After years of dreaming about university, I was finally going to Sterling Heights! I paused before the full-length mirror, smoothing down my tailored espresso-brown skirt and crisp white button-down, checking my hair’s soft waves and light makeup. For a second, I could barely recognize myself. So much had changed in the two weeks since I arrived at the Dawson Estate. Between Joyce’s relentless political lessons, endless interviews with Drake, and Alpha Victor’s guidance, I’d been thrown headfirst into a high-society life I never could have imagined. And now, I was about to walk onto the campus of Sterling Heights as an official student. A Heightsman! A genuine smile tugged at my lips as I left my room and took the private elevator downstairs. When the doors slid open, I found Drake already standing inside. I stepped in, and the atmosphere shifted instantly, his tall frame

DRAKE’S POV I had barely stepped outside the orientation hall when my phone buzzed, letting me know Marcus and Julian had arrived. The moment I spotted them crossing the plaza, a grin broke across my face. "Well, look who it is... Mr. Dawson!" Julian teased. He pulled me into a hug, clapping me twice on the back. Marcus stepped up right behind him, grinning. "Man, I've missed you." Marcus pulled me into another solid hug. Julian stood at six feet three inches with dark brown hair in a crew cut and deep brown eyes that fooled strangers into thinking he was the brooding, serious type. He was my primary sparring partner—the only guy who could keep up with my wolf in a fight without holding back. Marcus was slightly shorter at six feet, with long, wavy light-brown hair and bright hazel eyes. He was the smooth talker of the group and had the most social connections. The three of us had been friends since our freshman year of high school. Kingsley was supposed to be where we st

CHLOE’S POV “Figured you’d be jealous.” Drake’s words from last night still lingered in my mind as I hurried across campus. Jealous of what? If anything, I was annoyed that Prisca, Marcus, and Julian had somehow found their way into my new life at Sterling Heights. I’d barely settled in, and already, their presence was a reminder of the mess I’d left behind. I didn’t want their drama following me here or making my first few weeks at Sterling any harder than they needed to be. I took a slow breath, pushing the irritation aside. I wasn’t going to let them ruin my day before it had even started. I told myself to ignore it and focus on getting to class. I was already late for the special orientation for Medicine majors. I had gone to the wrong building before a security guard sent me running back across campus. By the time I found the right door, I was out of breath. Kristal wasn’t here because she had a different major, so I looked for Sophie, who was also majoring in Medicine
