Fated to My Professor Chapter 27 : Killing Charles
Astrid“So, I’m guessing your ‘friend’ is actually that jackass Charles,” Eddie began as we walked out of the packhouse. “What really happened to prompt this sudden trip?” I shrugged. I was fumbling with the keys my dad had given me. He was loaning me one of his vehicles for the drive. I hit the button to unlock the doors and listened for the beep. It was a white hatchback. At least it looked spacious. We’d be driving for a few hours. “You’re just going to ignore my question?” Eddie asked. “What does Charles want?” I opened the driver’s side door and tossed my shoulder bag onto the floor of the passenger’s seat. I wasn’t sure I wanted to tell him about the letter. When I told Tristian, I felt like an idiot—a complete idiot for getting myself into this situation and letting it get this far. Plus, Tristan’s reaction didn’t help either. He wanted to murder Charles, and judging from Eddie’s conversation with him the other day, if he knew what really was happening, he’d go even f
Fated to My Professor Chapter 28 : Mistakes Old and New
AstridThe closer we got to the city, the less trees were visible, and more custom homes and farm life appeared. A strong pang erupted in my chest. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss it out here. Granted, I wasn’t eager for why I was returning, but I was excited to feel the liveliness of the city once more. “Can we stop?” Eddie asked suddenly, pulling my attention to him. My eyes flicked in his direction, then back to the road. “What is it?” I asked with concern. He grimaced. “Sorry, it’s just my legs are cramping.” I looked down at the clock and frowned. We had only been driving for a little over an hour. We still had an hour and a half left to go. I didn’t really want to drag today out any more than necessary, but I recognized that they weren’t used to being in a vehicle for so long. Travel within the territories was normally done in wolf form. There wasn’t a lot of use for vehicles outside of travel to the human world. “Sure,” I reluctantly agreed. “We can stop for
Fated to My Professor Chapter 29 : What's Next?
Astrid I moved closer to Tristan and deepened the kiss. His back collided with the car, but he continued to pull at me. I was flush against him as his fingers tangled into my hair. I wrapped my arms around his neck. ‘Why are we doing this in public?’ I thought helplessly. I could hear people around us muttering and somewhere nearby, a young man whooping in amusement. I felt my face flush, but I didn’t stop. Tristan held me close and pulled away just slightly. “This is a mistake,” he said out loud. “You started it,” I muttered. I pressed forward and kissed him again. He moaned slightly and bit my lip just hard enough to make me yelp. “The hell I did.” He gripped my hair firmly and pulled me away enough for our eyes to meet. “Okay,” I replied breathlessly. “I started it. You finish it.” He growled. “You have no idea what you’re doing to me.” “I could say the same to you,” I replied. He pulled me in for another kiss. I surged forward to deepen the contact. The so
Fated to My Professor Chapter 30 : Losing Control
TristanI kept my eyes closed as I sat in the back seat and tried to reign myself in. For the thousandth time, I cursed at myself for kissing her. My self control had never been this weak before. I’d never had difficulty denying my urges. Right now, I was barely holding myself together. I could see Astrid’s face in profile if I opened my eyes. I could smell her airy lavender scent. I could taste her… “I can’t believe you eat these,” Eddie complained. Astrid laughed at him. “I told you they were hot.”She popped another jalapeno puff in her mouth. “It’s not that they’re hot,” he countered. “I like peppers. This doesn’t taste like peppers.” “No,” she agreed. “It tastes like hot.” “That doesn’t even make sense,” he shot back. She shrugged. “So, eat your sandwich,” she said. “It’ll get the taste out of your mouth.” “Tristan, try one of these,” Eddie urged. I cracked my eyes open to see him shoving the open bag towards me. I caught a whiff of the puffs and wrinkled my
Fated to My Professor Chapter 31 : Kill For Me
AstridI parked the car and let out a slow breath. The car had fallen into silence a while ago. Eddie finally settled on a soft rock station and eventually, that was the only sound that we’d heard. The closer we got to the apartment, the more nervous I became. It was too much for me, and Eddie and Tristan both seemed to realize that I needed a few minutes of silence to prepare myself for whatever might happen when I saw Charles. I thought about texting him that I was on my way. I thought about calling him. I decided against it. I didn’t want to have any more contact with him than I absolutely had to. I didn’t feel like I owed him the courtesy of phoning ahead. I turned the key and shut off the engine. The radio faded out and we were left sitting in complete silence. “We’re here,” I said softly. Eddie got out of the car immediately and started to stretch. I stayed in the car. I looked up at the building with a mix of anger and sadness twisting in my chest. Not too long ago,
Fated to My Professor Chapter 32 : Unrestrained Anger
AstridMy shock at Tristan’s words left me unable to act. I was conflicted. I was frightened by how intense the situation had suddenly become, but I was also relieved to see that Tristan was having an impact on Charles. I was also more than a little dumbfounded that he cared enough about me to be pushed to this level. Tristan was so level headed and calm usually. This was almost surreal. Maybe Eddie was right. Maybe we just needed to scare Charles. I couldn’t imagine that he would continue with his threats after this. I saw movement from the corner of my eye and looked to see Eddie approaching Tristan and Charles. Eddie put his hand firmly over Tristan’s, which was still gripping Charles’ shirt and holding him a few feet off of the ground. I didn’t hear Eddie say anything, but I could see that he was applying pressure to Tristan’s hand. Slowly, Tristan lowered Charles back to his feet and released his shirt. Tristan glared at Eddie, but Eddie just looked back at him steadi
Fated to My Professor Chapter 33 : Strictly Business
TristanI sat stiffly in the back seat of the car as Astrid drove us back towards Bridgewater. I wanted nothing more than to be home. I was appalled by the way that little bastard had talked to her and I was worried that the slightest push would send me over the edge. My wolf wanted blood. It took everything in me not to rip that worm's throat out. If Astrid hadn’t touched my arm and brought me back to myself, I would have done it. Eddie wasn’t going to be enough to stop me. There was only one other time I could remember feeling this kind of anger and, back then, I was too young to do anything about it. After my father and older brother were killed in the Lunar Battle, my mother and I moved in with my grandmother. My grandmother was a tall, slim, soft spoken woman with big brown eyes and pure white hair. She was friendly with everyone and worked at the local library. She loved her job and I gave her a lot of credit for being the one to instill a love of learning in me. It
Fated to My Professor Chapter 34 : Distant Dreams
Astrid Once we were back in Bridgewater, I dropped Tristan off outside of his apartment. He was oddly quiet and avoided my eyes when he said goodbye. It left a sour taste in my mouth, but after how things went with Charles, I figured he just needed space to cool off. “It’ll be fine,” Eddie assured me as we drove back to the packhouse. “I know,” I said. I didn’t believe it, though. “Thank you for coming with me.” “No problem,” he replied. “I’m glad I could help.” It felt like something had shifted between Tristan and I during the long, quiet drive back to Bridgewater. Tristan had been so angry when we left the apartment. I had expected him to vent, or even argue with Eddie about what happened. Instead, he just looked out the window. I should have thanked him. I was kicking myself for not trying to talk to him about what happened. I was just shaken up by it. When we got back to the packhouse, Eddie insisted on carrying my bags back in for me. I didn’t argue. I just picked
