Fated to My Professor Chapter 80 : An Announcement
AstridThe festival had continued the next morning just as Solomon promised, but it was obvious by the increased guard that something was going on. The visiting Alphas and Lunas had arrived that morning at the packhouse demanding answers, and Solomon was the one to give them. He explained that the threat had been neutralized and that he gave his personal guarantee that there wouldn’t be any other issues. He offered to arrange a guarded escort for anyone who wanted to leave early. After a private conversation with Slade, it was decided that everyone was staying. I didn’t ask Solomon about what else was said, I was just glad that he was able to handle it. That night, while the party raged in town, I met with Solomon and dad alone. I wanted Tristan to be with me, but I understood why he couldn’t be there. Having Solomon there was going to have to be enough. I sat alone in the chair across from dad’s desk. Solomon was standing near me with his arms folded tightly across his ches
Fated to My Professor Chapter 1 : Meeting the Professor
AstridI never intended to return to my hometown, and if it weren’t for my mother’s unexpected death, I never would have. I watched through the car window as the scenery around me became more familiar. I was ten years old the last time I was here—that was 17 years ago. I sighed and turned away from the window. The closer we got, the more I regretted my choice. “Doing alright back there?” the driver asked. “I’m fine,” I said softly. I felt bad. Victoria drove for hours to pick me up early this morning and bring me home, but I was having a hard time carrying on a conversation with her, despite our relationship. My dad was the Alpha of the Bridgewater pack, and Victoria was the Gamma. She was close to my mother—almost like her right hand rather than my dad’s. My dad convinced me to come home to take over the duties of my mother until someone else could be chosen to take on the role of Luna. I didn’t want to, but he insisted that he needed me. I agreed eventually, and he
Fated to My Professor Chapter 2 : Fated to my Professor
AstridI felt like a fool staring at Tristan so blatantly, but I could hardly believe what I was seeing. Back in the hallway, I was so flustered that I hadn’t really looked at him. I was too shocked that he was there. I didn’t think that I would see him again, and I never thought that I would see him here. Somehow, he grew up to be even more attractive than I remembered. His soft, boyish features were sharpened into a strong jaw and defined cheekbones. He looked like he could be a model rather than a college professor. I understood now why most of the students in the room were female. While he was focusing on getting the projector set up, a girl with long dark hair scurried from her table and sat next to me. “Hi,” she said softly. “You looked lonely sitting back here alone.” I wasn’t sure what to say to that. I was really hoping that I would be left alone, but that wasn’t going to happen. Before I could respond, Tristan started to talk. “I’m Dr. Tristan Ward, and I’m going
Fated to My Professor Chapter 3 : A Thousand Gazes
Astrid The room was quickly descending into chaos. People had turned in their chairs to stare at me and their voices were steadily increasing in volume. I glanced towards the door. I could be out of the room before anyone registered that I was moving. If I left now and never came back, maybe I could avoid the rumors and the judgment. My heart rate was increasing rapidly. I had to make a choice. Tristan cleared his throat and the whispering of the students around me quieted, but didn’t stop. He slammed his hand down on the podium and the resounding thud that it created was enough to cause everyone to snap their heads forward, including me. There was a warning in his eyes as he glared at each of the students one by one. A few mumbled apologies, but most just fell silent. “Can I finish?” he asked with irritation clear in his voice. “Yes, sir,” a few students said in unison. Their immediate reactions and deference spoke volumes about the reputation Tristan had on campus. No
Fated to My Professor Chapter 4 : She'll Never be My Mate
TristanI normally didn’t lock my office door, but I really didn’t want anyone bothering me right now. I was uncharacteristically flustered, and I wouldn’t allow my students or coworkers to see me in this state. Once Lillian left, I moved quickly from the classroom to my office.I let out a long suffering sigh and shook my head. I dropped my bag onto my desk and collapsed into my chair. I had tried so hard to keep my composure during the lecture—even more, my authority. But I could feel it crumbling under her gaze. Her wide-eyed gaze…What the hell just happened? I leaned back and glared up at the ceiling. I must have angered the goddess in some way for her to do this to me now. I couldn’t think of anything specific I had done, but there was no other explanation for the painful tension in my chest. I had found my mate, and it was...my student. Astrid Fleisher. The last time I had seen her, she was a stick thin and freckle faced kid. I never imagined her growing up to be so
Fated to My Professor Chapter 5 : Reunion
Astrid My heart was racing, but I wasn’t sure if it was from anger or the pull. Either way, I didn’t like it. I hurried out of the building and directly to the parking lot. Victoria was waiting for me just like she promised. I got into the car and slammed the door behind me. “I need to talk to my dad,” I said breathlessly. “Are you alright?” she asked with concern. “Did something happen?” I saw the worry in her eyes through the rearview mirror, and forced myself to look away.“No, just get me to the packhouse, please,” I replied. I wanted more than anything now to go home. It was a huge mistake to come back here. I couldn’t deal with this. Just seeing Tristan again made me feel like I was losing control. If I stayed in Bridgewater, I ran the risk of losing everything that I worked so hard to achieve for myself. I wouldn’t do that. “Sure,” Victoria answered, knowing better than to press. She pulled away from the curb and headed towards the packhouse. It was going
Fated to My Professor Chapter 6 : The New Luna
Astrid I heard the sound of someone clearing their throat. I lifted my head from my dad’s shoulder and saw Solomon standing in the doorway that dad had just entered through. His dark eyes met mine coldly. There was no emotion that I could read from his expression. His dark hair was slicked back and, other than some fine lines at the corners of his eyes, he looked exactly the same as he did the day I left. “Tony, I’ll be in the study when you’re ready to get back to work,” he stated. His voice was carefully neutral. He inclined his head towards me just slightly, then turned and walked away. Dad didn’t acknowledge him at all. He sat me down on my feet and smiled at me. “We have so much to talk about,” he began. “I’m so glad that you came. I can’t tell you what it means to me to have your help. Besides, I want to hear all about your life and how you’ve been doing.” “Is there somewhere we can sit down to talk?” I asked. I wiped the last of the tears from my eyes and took a deep
Fated to My Professor Chapter 7 : It'll Take a Village
Astrid The rest of dinner passed with periods of awkward silence and small talk. It was pleasant, for the most part. Although, it was obvious that we were both afraid of saying anything wrong. After dinner, dad told me that my bags had been brought up to my old bedroom. I wasn’t exactly thrilled to know that I would be staying in my old room, even though it made sense for me to do so. I followed behind him as he led me up the stairs. Everything still somehow felt so familiar, yet so foreign at the same time—like I was in some kind of dream. We walked past the door to my parent’s room. It was slightly ajar and I smelt my mother’s scent drift into my nostrils. My eyes welled, but I bit back the emotion and continued forward. Thank the goddess dad didn’t notice.He opened the door to my bedroom and let me walk in first. It looked just like how I left it. I must’ve had an expression on my face as I heard his voice say, “Is it like you remember?”I nodded as my hand grazed the bedpo
