My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

Chapter 0512 They haven't always been this dark which worried me.

«I was mainly wondering if you smelled it too. Or maybe you saw something?” «I didn’t see anything,” she said, her voice firm. “If that’s all you wanted, I'm very tired and would like to sleep now.” Without another word, she shut the door in my face.

I looked at Becca who was pale in the face as she met my eyes.

«Something’s wrong...” she whispered, her voice trembling. “She’s never been like this before.” I nodded; knowing exactly what she meant. From what I knew about Rachel, she was never this rude or closed off; she I wasn’t a cold person.

«1 would keep your distance for a bit,” 1 told Becca, turning away and walking toward the door. “Just stay in your room and if anything happens call me.” “Okay...” she said, shakily. “I'm assuming we are going to be trapped in the dormitory for a while. Can you have Lila call me tomorrow?” “yeah, I'll tell her,” I said. “Just be safe, Becca.” “You too, Professor,” she said in return and then I left the door.

As promised to Eileen, I did a quick head count of the other students, allowing them each to shut the door after I was finished. I went back to Eileen who was speaking with Alex downstairs in the living space.

“T appreciate your help, Alexander,” she said to him, giving him a kind smile. “I'm not entirely sure what's going on out there, but I feel safer knowing we have a

Nova pack gamma here.” He surprisingly smiled back and nodded at her.

“I’m happy to help. Just let me know if there’s anything else I can do for you. I rested plenty for today, so I'll patrol around and make sure everyone remains in their dorms and is safe.” 1 approached them, interrupting their conversation.

«I should get back to my house, but everyone in this section is accounted for,” I told her, handing her the list.

She smiled at me, but I saw the worry and fear still lingering on her face.

“Thank you, Professor,” she said, bowing her head. “If you find out any information, would you be able to come back and tell me? I just have this nasty feeling in the pit of my stomach that 1 can’t seem to shake.”

“Twill,” I told her.

It was clear that Merida wasn’t a part of this dormitory, thankfully. But whoever dorm she belonged to would notice her not being there; therefore, they would soon figure out she was the student who passed away.

My stomach clenched at the thought.

I nodded my head at Alex to thank him for sticking around; not that I gave him much of a choice. Then, I left and headed back to the police and Headmaster Prescott. Alpha Jonathan was also still with them.

“I’m taking my daughter home with me. I don’t feel safe with her being here,” Alpha Jonathan announced to them.

“That's fair,” Prescott said. “I'll alert Eileen and have Sarah get her things.” “I was just there, Alexander offered to keep the students safe and patrol. I'm

sure he will escort Sarah to you if you'd like,” I said to them.

“Oh, yes. Thank you, Enzo,” Headmaster Prescott said, nodding.

Alpha Jonathan just looked at me with a strange expression.

“Why were you in the girl’s dorm, Professor?” He asked.

“T wanted to make sure every student was accounted for in case I missed any on my patrol. I spoke to each dorm advisor and got the report that their students are in fact present,” I answered without missing a beat.

“And everyone is in their dorms?” Prescott asked.

I nodded.

“Yes,” I answered.

“Oh, good. Thank you for your help. I might need your help again tomorrow

I during the investigation. But you can head back to your house and get some rest.” I nodded to them again before leaving and going back to my house where Lila remained. As soon as I opened the door, Lila appeared at the entrance of my bedroom. She wore one of my T-shirts that covered half her body and revealed her sexy bare legs. Her dark curls were tied up in a messy bun and she peered up at me with a small smile on her perfect lips.

“Welcome back, Professor,” she said flirtatiously.

A low growl escaped and emerged from my throat as I fought to take control of my wolf who desperately wanted to have his way with our mate.

Goddess, she was beautiful.

Seeing the hungry and lustful look in my I eyes, she bit her bottom lip to stifle a

giggle, but it only made me want her more. I went toward her, but then the color drained from her face as her eyes shifted to behind me.

The stench of an Alpha was potent, and I froze as well. I turned and saw the doorknob turning and the shadow of Alpha Jonathan shined through the window.
