My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

Chapter 0510 They rolled their eyes and stood to their feet, but the large jerk still had his hold on Lydia’s waist.

“Pll make sure she gets back safely,” he said, but something about his tone, I didn’t trust.

I grabbed onto Lydia’s wrist, making her squeak in surprise.

“Try again,” I said as a low growl escaped my throat. “I’m heading in the direction of the dorms anyways, so I'll take her back.” He looked like he wanted to fight me and both Max and I almost dared him. I knew Max was on the edge of my mind, revealing himself through my eyes and making them glow like an ember. I watched as the vampire's jaw clenched and then unclenched.

He backed down.

“Ill see you later, Lydia,” he muttered before following his friends out of the door.

I released Lydian’s wrist, and she pulled it away quickly, rubbing it gently.

“You didn’t have to be a dick,” she muttered. This surprised me because I was her professor and no student had ever spoken to me like that before. It was almost like she forgot who I was for a moment, but when she looked up at me, her entire body froze. “Sorry, I didn’t mean

that.” “Let’s go,” I said through my teeth, not wanting to waste any more time with her.

She nodded and followed me out of the student lounge and toward the dorms. I walked with Lydia into the girl's section of the dorm.

«What dorm section are you?” I asked without looking at her.

“A,” she answered, staring at the ground shamefully. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

That was the same section as Lila, which was good because I needed to check on her roommates anyway. I was still having strange feelings about Rachel, and I wanted to make sure she was in the dorm as well.

Something about my encounter earlier didn’t feel right; especially because it was in the same area, I smelled that rancid flesh scent near the academic center.

I shuddered at the thought.

Just as we walked through the doors of Dormitory A, I was standing in the middle of a very clustered and frantic living area which had a few couches, a few televisions, a small kitchen, a community bathroom that only had a toilet and sinks because each dorm room had their own bathrooms with showers, and a couple of tables with puzzle pieces and gameboards scattered across them.

Students were everywhere though and they looked terrified.

The Dormitory advisor, Eileen Carter, was trying to get them to calm down. But it was hard when she had no answers. Before I could say

anything to her, I heard the crackling of the loudspeakers. Each dorm room and dorm living space had a speaker, so students wouldn’t miss announcements.

Headmaster Prescott’s voice was heard loud and clear, though it was obvious she was very upset by the strain in her voice, but as soon as she started speaking, everybody was silenced.

“Hello everybody; I know many are confused and I’m sorry to say that a student passed away earlier this evening. Her name and cause of death will not be disclosed at this time but rest assured that her family has been alerted and her close companions will be the next to know before the rest of the school does. The next several days are going to be very difficult, but I need everybody to be working together to make the best out of this situation. Nobody is to leave their dormitories unless it’s an emergency. As of right now, this school is on official lockdown. Thank you and be safe.”
