My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

Chapter 0499 “8 pm? Why so late?” She asked.

“We have a vampire on the committee, and it works better for her,” I answered.

This time, Sarah did laugh, but it was dry and humorless.

“You convinced a vampire to join the student committee?” She asked, “How’d you manage that?” “Actually, she wanted to join. She wanted to make a difference and show the school that she isn’t just looks,” I answered. Then I leaned in closer as if I was telling her some juicy secret. “It’s Skylar Barnett. As in— » “The Barnett Fashion Franchise?!” Sarah gasped, finishing my franchise.

I nodded in response.

“Yeah, she’s kind of a big deal and she joined the committee,” I said simply. “It’s pretty cool.” I knew I was saying this stuff to convince her, but I also truly meant it.

She glanced down at her yoga pants.

“I'm wearing their sportswear,” she said, and I could feel her growing excitement. “I knew their daughter went to this school. But vampires

are rarely seen.” “I know,” I said in return. “So, can I expect you tonight?” She was quiet for a moment, the excitement in her simmering. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“Why do you want me there so bad?” She finally asked after a short silence. “Why do you want to help me after what I did?” Now it was my turn to fall silent as I thought about how to answer her.

I decided to just tell her the truth.

“Idon’t,” I answered simply. “But Brody does, and I trust and value his opinion.” Her cheeks flared red, and she quickly looked down.

“I'll just tell him that you’ll think about it,” I said, turning away from her. She said nothing as I walked away from her to join Becca who had just finished dressing in her clothes.

“Did you ask her to join the committee?” Becca asked.

I nodded.

“I guess we will see if she shows up,” I said, shrugging. “I did what I could.” I glanced at Enzo who was watching me intently; I could see the worry that was in his eyes, and I wondered if it was because he overheard my conversation with Sarah. I knew he didn’t trust her either, but I needed him to trust me on this. So, I gave him a bright smile, and he

soon returned it with a small smile of his own and then a wink before he turned to the other students who had just finished their laps.

Enzo looked so good standing in front of everybody that I could hardly keep my wolf in check. He wore bagging sweatpants and kept his shirt off, showing off his incredible body and his mouth-watering abs. He had some scarring on his chest from past battles that hadn’t fully healed due to the silver weapons used, but it only made him look extremely manly.

I'wanted to rub my hands all over his body; just the thought made heat flare on my cheeks and my heartbeat rapidly against my ribcage.

Everybody got with their partners, Enzo was my partner. As he approached me, it took everything I had not to throw myself into his arms.

We both got into our battle stance, and I was the first to attack. We always started in our human forms. Enzo was fast and dodged a lot of my attacks, but I also managed to dodge most of mine.

Last year, he used to go a bit easier on me, but when he returned this year, I asked him to not do that. So, now he goes much harder, and I really appreciate it.

It felt like it’s been so long since I felt his hands on my body and feeling him touch me at this moment sent heat to course through my body. He lifted his hands so I could punch each hand with my fists as if we were training for a boxing match.

I “I’ve been wanting to talk to you about something,” he said in a low tone for my ears alone.

I glanced up at him, not wasting any time in punching his hands.

“I’m listening,” I said, proud that my voice didn’t come out squeaky.

“It’s about Rachel...” he said, making my entire body freeze.

I looked up at him, meeting his very concerned eyes.

“What about her?” He glanced over to the far distance of the battlegrounds with a frown, and I followed his gaze to the distant bleacher; they were empty. I looked back up at him with a curious frown and he met my eyes again.

“She was here,” he said. “Watching.” My heart fell into my stomach upon hearing his words. I didn’t have to see her to know he was being truthful; I believed him wholeheartedly.

I didn’t have to say anything, he spoke again, and his question sent a nervous chill down my spine.

“Have you noticed anything strange about her lately?”
