MY PROFESSOR IS MY ALPHA MATE - Season 3 Episode 72

Enzo’s POV

There were a few students still wandering the campus; they were looking at the cop car and ambulance

with large, frightened eyes, whispering to one another about what was happening.

“I hear somebody died, one of the girls said.

“Do we know who it is?” Another girl asked.

One of the boys was about to answer, but I didn’t give them to chance to speak.

“Everybody needs to get back to their dorms; right now,” I ordered.

They all frowned and looked at one another.

“We are vampires; our curfew doesn’t start until 7 am tomorrow,” One of the boys complained.

“Do I look like I care?” I asked through my teeth; annoyed they were questioning me. “Headmaster’s

orders.”

They all sighed and started back towards the dormitory. I shook my head at them and started to patrol

the campus, looking for any others that were wandering around. Besides the ambulance and cop cars,

the campus was a ghost town. Only the sirens could be heard, which was a relief.

I went into the dining hall and saw a few students eating at the tables; I knew they were vampires as

well.

“Bring that to your dorms; your classes have been canceled for today and everybody needs to report

back to their dorms right away.” I told them, trying to keep my voice calm.

They looked at one another, frowning. Clearly oblivious to what was going on outside.

“What’s going on?” One of the girls with long blue hair and bright blue eyes had to be the perkiest-

looking vampire I’d ever seen.

“Everything will be explained later but Headmaster Prescott wants everyone in their dorms, told them.

“We aren’t done eating.” One of the guys said; he had a darker appearance with his jet-black hair that

rested above his shoulders and tucked behind one of his cars and eyes that were so dark they nearly

looked black.

He sat close to the girl, so it was clear they were together.

My annoyance level grew, and I decided to address the entire dining hall at once. There weren’t a lot of

students in the dining hall, but there were a few sc attered around that I knew were vampires. All other

students were in their dorms because of curfew, most oblivious to what was happening outside the

academic center.

Then again, there were a bunch of students who saw the chaos unfold before them and probably told

their roommates and friends. I’m sure word had gotten around the dormitories quickly.

I stood on the table that these two were eating on, ignoring their frustrated grunts and complaints,

“Listen up!” I used my Alpha voice to boom across the dining hall, making everybody silent

immediately. I loved that this voice worked on Vampires as well; it pleased me that they were all silent

and looking at

me now with large eyes. “Everybody needs to take their food back to the dorms. Your classes have

been canceled for the rest of the day. Headmaster Prescott will explain everything else later, but she

asked for you to report back to your dorms.”

They were all quiet for a moment, looking at one another with curious frowns. It only took one student

to stand up, take her plate and beverage with her, and walk toward the dining hall exit.

Others stood as well, grabbing their things and scurrying out of the dining hall.

I stepped down from the table and watched as the boy and girl that just gave me attitude, grunted

annoyance before taking their own food and beverages and stood as well. The guy looked like he

wanted to say something more to me; his chest was puffed out like he was some kind of Alpha male,

making me roll my eyes.

But he chose not to say anything.

“Smart,” Max muttered.

I silently agreed with my wolf.

He helped his girlfriend to her feet and she quickly grabbed her stuff before following him out of the

dining hall. I just shook my head; G od d amn vampires, I thought to myself.

Now, I just needed to check the library and the student lounge. There probably wasn’t anybody in the

library at this hour, but I had to check anyway.

When I went into the library. I was relieved to see nobody there except for the night-shift librarian. On

this campus, we had day shift workers and night shift workers. I knew this particular night shift worker

not only from passing in the faculty neighborhood, which had a house for all full-time faculty members

but also from sometimes I enjoy late night reading sessions and come to the library often to pick out

new books.

“Hello Alpha,” she said, standing to her feet, bowing her head slightly in respect. She was part of Alpha

Jonathan’s pack and was trained to be respectful toward Alphas.

“I need you to make sure no student comes in here tonight.” I told her, without even greeting her,

making her frown.

“I’m sorry?”

“Someone was found dead tonight, Stephanie,” I told her, making her jaw drop.

“What?” She croaked. “Who?”

“I can’t disclose that right now, but with time I’m sure Headmaster Prescott will explain everything. She

asked me to go around campus and make sure all students were back in their dorms. If you are staying

here tonight, I suggest you lock the doors to the library. Or lock the doors and return to your faculty

house. It’s not safe out there.”

I could practically hear how quickly her heart was beating; she looked like she wanted to burst out

crying. She was very familiar with almost every student at this school, including those who go to school

at night. I’m sure the thought of one of them being dead broke her heart.

But she didn’t say anything; she shakily nodded and leaned against her desk for support.

I’m sorry I had to be the one to tell you,” I said solemnly.

“We need to hurry and get back to our mate,” Max whined.

I knew he was right, but I had a job to do as well. Without another word, I turned and left the library,

silently sending a prayer to the goddess that she watched over Stephanie the librarian because she

was going to need all the help she could get if she wanted to get through this without falling apart.

I went into the student lounge and only saw a couple of vampires sitting with one another. There was a

girl amongst them that reeked of wolf. I recognized her as Lydia; one of my students.

“You all need to get back to your dorms. There’s been a tragedy that happened this evening and

Headmaster Prescott is requesting everybody’s return.” I told them, but my eyes never left Lydia who

stared back at me with a red face and large eyes.

She had a couple of puncture wounds on her neck and one of the tall muscular male vampires had his

hand on her thin waist, keeping her close to him.

“Lydia, you shouldn’t have been here in the first place. It’s past curfew for you,” I told her firmly, raising

my brows at her dazed look.

“She’s with us,” the vampire that held onto her waist said, pulling her even closer.

She willingly went with him, pressing her body against his.

“You know it’s against school law to feed off students,” I said, narrowing my eyes at him. “You could get

expelled for this.”

“Relax, teach. She likes it,” he said, giving me a c ocky side grin as he leaned into her ear and

whispered. “Don’t you?”

“Yes, baby,” she purred in return. “I like it a lot.”

“That doesn’t matter,” I said, trying to keep my temper under control but they were really pis sing me

off. “It’s against school rules. Headmaster Prescott ordered everybody back to their dorms.” I paused

as 1 looked at them. “Your assigned dorms,” I added through my teeth.

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

“I’ll 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 ja clenched and then unclenched.

He backed down.

“I’ll 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 di ck,” 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.

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 cach dorm room had their own bathrooms with

showers, and a couple of tables with puzzle pieces and gameboards sca ttered 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 cr ackling 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.”
