My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

Chapter 277 She Craved Blood

Lila’s POV

“I was with my mother,” I told him quickly, which wasn’t a lie. I was with my mother and a few others,

including Enzo, doing the protection ritual and summoning the guardian of the earth. But I wasn’t going

to say that to the detective and Headmaster Prescott.

“With your mother?” He asked, raising his brows.

I nodded my head, leaning back in my seat.

“Yes, sir.” I answered as confidently as I could. “I was with my mother. She was in town visiting and we

enjoyed the day together.”

“Lila’s mother is a very powerful Luna for the Nova pack in Elysium, Headmaster Prescott explained to

him. “Her father is Alpha Ba stien. He’s the leader of the Alpha Committee so he’s often traveling

around and checking out neighboring packs. He’s very close allies with your Alpha as well, detective.”

Detective Sanchez tensed at the mention of his Alpha, whom I’m assuming was Alpha Jonathan. Most

of the authorities and emergency services in Higala were from the Crescent Moon pack, which was

Alpha Jonathan and Sarah’s pack.

“I see,” he said, clearing his throat. “Then I suppose that checks out.”

“If I need to call my mother, I would be happy to do so, Detective,” I said, giving him a coy smile.

“That won’t be necessary, Miss Lila. I appreciate your time. That’s all the questions I have for you.”

I nodded and stood to my feet.

“Ga mma Alexander, would you please escort Lila back to her dorm?” Headmaster Prescott asked

kindly.

I had almost forgotten that Alex was standing nearby; he was so quiet during all that questioning. I’m

glad. he didn’t scoff at my obvious lies or make any grunting sounds to show his disbelief and

annoyance at my

answers.

“Yes mam,” he said politely. “Should I return here once I’m done?”.

“I’ll let you know the next student to escort here once we discuss it,” Headmaster Prescott informed

him.

He nodded and turned toward the doorway; this time, he walked first and trailed after him.

Once we were outside, I noticed he was walking in the direction of the dorms.

“I have to go back to Enzo,” I told him.

“I’m not getting in trouble for you,” he muttered. “If you want to go back there, you have to sneak back

yoursell

I frowned at his back, but he did not attempt to stop or turn to look at me. I just rolled my eyes and

turned in the opposite direction.

“Fine,” I muttered and then I walked further away until I reached the faculty housing

If I was spotted on my way back, nobody made it known. But as soon as I got to Enzo’s house, the

door

swung open, and Enzo stood before me with a look of sincerity and worry. He looked very pleased to

see me, but he also looked distressed and worried.

-He sighed relief when he saw that I was unharmed and smiling up at him. I flew myself into his arms

and.

he pulled me into his house, closing the door behind us.

“How was it?” He asked, kissing down my temples and across my cheekbones.

“Intense.” I admitted. “He was asking me how close I was to Merida and how she was as a student. I

didn’t really know how to answer him. I wasn’t that close to Merida.. but everything I said made it look

like I was purposely shunning her.”

“If he knew anything about you, he’d know you’d never shun anyone,” Enzo said, peering down at me..

“You are the most compassionate, caring, and loving person I know.”

I smiled up at him, standing on my toes and kissing him gently.

“I love you,” I said to him.

“And I love you,” he said in return, wrapping his arms around me and pulling me toward his chest.

His kisses trailed down the nape of my neck and across my shoulders. I closed my eyes, soaking him

in and basking in his incredible scent. My heart was thudding rapidly against my chest to the point

where I thought it was going to explode from my chest.

It was incredible the effects of a mate bond, well after it’s been established. Every time I’m with him is

like the first time and it was a feeling I never wanted to go away.

I couldn’t fathom the thought of ever losing him; I’m fairly certain it would literally kill me and my wolf. -

We would never be able to recover if anything happened to our mate.

As he continued to kiss me and tear my clothes off my body, ravishing me in my true form and making.

love to the human outside the wolf, all I could think al was, “I will protect him until the day I die.”

Third Person POV

Fear consumed Rachel as she barricaded herself in her room. Her entire body trembled as tears fell at

a rapid speed down her pale features. She sat on the floor in the darkest corner of her room with her

knees pressed to her chest and her head lowered.

Her windows and curtains were drawn, keeping out the sunlight that desperately wanted to seep into

her

room.

Her roommate and close friend, Becca, had knocked a few times to get her to come out and eat

something. If was obvious that Becca was worried for her, but Rachel couldn’t bring herself to get up or

face reality!

She had killed someone.

She was the reason for this lockdown, and she was the reason for the interrogation. It would only be a

matter of time before they realized this and imprisoned her.

She hadn’t wanted to kill anyone; she could hardly even remember the events that led up to that poor

girl’s death. All she remembered was feeling ravenous and having such a strong craving.

Chapter 277 She Craved Blood

The craving.

She craved blood.

+15 Bonus

Bears don’t drink blood nor are they known for their brutality. But there was this thing inside of her that

needed it: this darkness was what craved that blood and that darkness is what killed that girl.

Rachel shuddered at the imagery of that girl’s dying face. She cried and begged Rachel to leave her

alone; she begged for her life. But Rachel wasn’t there; it was the darkness. All Rachel could do was

watch from the f arthest part of her mind as her body tore into that girl’s chest and took out her beating

heart. She was smashed against the wall, cracking her head, and making blood poor from her open

wounds.

When Rachel got her control back, it was already too late. She was sitting in a pool of blood in the

academic cemer and the girl was drained and dead in front of her. She didn’t know what else to do so

she locked the doors of the center.

Thankfully, it was after hours so there was nobody inside.

She quickly cleaned the mess as best as she could and hid the girl’s body in the basement of the

building. Nobody ever goes there; the likelihood of the girl being found was slim if Rachel hid her

properly. She tried to bury her in the dirt that the basement floor was made up of: I was unfinished, and

they hadn’t completed the flooring.

Once she was sure the body was hidden well enough, she went to her locker and changed into the

extra clothes she had stored in there a while ago,

She hadn’t expected to see Professor Enzo standing outside the academic center when she left. Her

heart was nearly beating out of her chest as she looked into his curious and yet suspicious eyes. It was

obvious. that he knew something was up, but she couldn’t tell him the truth.

She couldn’t tell anybody.

All she could do was hide and hope that nobody ever found out the horrific and hideous trath.

“You should have hidden the body better,” that voice returned to her; it was the voice of a woman, but

she also sounded animalistic. Hearing the voice horrified Rachel to the bones; she knew something

terrible was going to happen and she was once again going to lose control of her body.

“I’m sorry. Rachel managed to sputter through her tears. “But I’m not a killer.”

“Of course, you’re not, darling. You are a survivor. You do what it takes to survive.”

“But…but that girl.. she was harmless,” Rachel whimpered.

“Bur

you

needed her blood to live; without it, my pets would have died. If they die.. so, do you.”

“Your pets? Rachel asked, lifting her head, and looking at nothing in particular. “You mean the darkness

inside of me? The ones that take over my body and make me do awful things?”

“Some might call if darkness yes,” she purred. “But they are what makes you strong. Nobody can tell

you that a bear is weak again. Not with my pets living inside of you. You will be known as fierce.

Nobody will mess with you again.”She opened her mouth to protest, but she felt the claws of the

darkness inside of her. once again, attacking her brain and forcing her to remain silent and obedient.

She had lost the linle control she had over her body, and she was now a vessel again.

“Now, we are in quite a predicament; are we not? A detective is trying to find who murdered that girl.

We

can’t let them know that it was you, obviously.”

Rachel lowered her head and let out a small whimper, but she was restricted from speaking.

“But lucky for you; I have a plan for that,” the voice continued, much to Rachel’s horror.

Rachel found herself standing to her feet; she was now shoved into the back of her mind; unable to

control her movements, she went to the window and opened the curtains, and then she opened the

window itself.

She was on the second story of the dormitory, and she worried about what was about to happen. But

before she could fully grasp it, she was flinging herself out the window. She wanted to scream so badly

but the darkness that took her over wouldn’t allow her to.

When she landed, roughly, she heard a snapping in her leg, and then pain coursed through her leg and

up her entire body. Her body shuddered and jolted, and Rachel gritted her teeth. She wanted to cry out

and scream that her leg was broken and that she needed help, but the darkness wouldn’t allow her to

do that either.

It kept her still and pressed against the cold and hard wall of the building. Tears threatened Rachel’s

eyes; she stole a glance at her leg and saw that it was twisted in the wrong direction. It had to have

been broken.

But then, to Rachel’s utter terror, her leg automatically snapped back into place, sending a wave of pain

around her body.

It took a couple of heartbeats, but she could finally move her leg again and once she did, she was

standing and moving against the shadows of the building until she reached the front doors of the

dormitory.

She watched as her body opened the doors of the boy’s dorm and made its way inside. A few gam ma

warriors were standing by and when they saw Rachel, the darkness emerged from her, appearing to

her like snakes, and slithered towards the warriors who stood frozen and in shock.

The snake-like creatures wrapped around their necks and choked them until they had passed out

completely and bit into their flesh, tearing open their necks and drinking from their bodies.

The snakes returned to Rachel, slithering back into her body and nestling against her brain as they

were before.

Rachel turned and walked toward one of the boy’s sections of the dormitory. The living quarters were

vacant thankfully; Rahcel didn’t want anyone else to die who got in her path.

She made her way up the stairs and knocked on one of the doors to the boy’s dorm.

After a few minutes the door opened, slowly and hesitantly, and she came face to face with Scott.
