All Chapters of My Alpha Teacher's Pet: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

~ Kelsie (a few minutes earlier) ~I stayed in the hallway with my mother watching my mate and my father walk to the back door, heads turned to each other, their faces serious and protective and…“He’s a good one,” my mom sighed. “I can see it, Kelsie. I should have known you wouldn’t be fooled. I’m sorry.”I wanted to cry. “He is a good one. The best. He’s just like Dad, except for the wolf part.”My mother gave a little huff of laughter, wiping her eyes. “Oh, I think they’re more alike than you think,” she said, then cut me a sly look from the side. “There’s more than one advantage to having a male of the wolf variety. And… you know, the human part of that isn’t lost even if they give up their wolves,” she sniggered.

~ Cain ~Lauren turned away from me then as guilt and fear rocked through me. Hating myself, I hurried past her to the shelf in the back corner where I’d stashed the two final boxes of her things that I had brought with me, but not unpacked, because I couldn’t stand to look at the things, to smell her on them, but also couldn’t bring myself to throw them away.As she dug through them looking for clothes, I stood over her, looking up the stairs, knowing Kelsie was up in the living room whispering with her parents. They were too far away for me to hear the words, but I could feel her—feel her fear, and how this made her stomach sick, but also the stone-cold steel of her resolve as well.And if anything else had been happening, I would have howled—she was taking her Alpha. Stepping into her power. I could feel it. T

~ Cain ~ “Cain… get away from her,” Kelsie said, very quietly, but very sharply, her footsteps slowing, then stopping entirely while she was still on the stairs above me. I wanted to turn and look at her, to reassure her. But the expression on Lauren’s face was making me nervous, and I didn’t want her to have any opportunity to come at Kelsie around me. So I stayed facing my former mate, but spoke to my love. “Kelsie, I know how this looks, and yes, she’s upset. But that’s natural. She didn’t know about the claiming. But I’ve told her now, she just needs to understand—” “No, Cain. I’m serious. Get away from her. She’s not safe.” I risked turning to look at my mate, sending a rush of reassurance through

 ~ Kelsie ~ When I’d gone back to the bedroom to get Cain’s things I had been drenched in insecurity—reminding myself of all the wonderful things that had passed between us, trying to get my heartrate to slow. But my head kept throwing up all the reasons why I should be unsure of him, how little we knew each other, how short of a time we’d spent together. So I did my own battle on the inside as they faced each other. I yearned to talk to Cain, to encourage him, to strengthen him, but I was terrified of distracting him as the two of them clearly prepared to do battle. And then, in a blink, she threw herself into the air, shifting into her wolf. And a heartbeat later, Cain met her in the air, and two of them began to fight. Heart in my throat, I gripped the ha

~ Kelsie ~It was the strangest sensation. Utterly surreal. Seeing death come at me, knowing the heart and mind behind it, seeing the truth.If I’d had time, I would have laughed. She didn’t know. She didn’t have a clue.Even Cain was clueless, I realized, as it all became clear to me.My stomach clenched when she feinted and he fell—a flash of fear that she’d turn her attention back to killing him.But no… I should have known. I did know.She didn’t want Cain dead. She wanted him free. Of me
