I Kissed My Professor And He Liked It novel Chapter 260

Ella’s POV

I was completely frozen and dumbstruck over this news. I was powerful enough to allow these strange orbs of light to protect us? They can feed off my powers alone? Will that drain me? Make me weak? Will I be able to continue feeding them for long?

I had just gotten my abilities back; what did she mean that I was the strongest in this group? I wasn’t stronger than my mother. I was just Ella. I wasn’t any different than a normal Volana; there had to have been a mistake.

She couldn’t be serious.

“So, as long as my daughter's wolf is okay, you’ll be able to protect us?” My mother asked, looking up at the guardian with hopeful eyes.

“Yes, that is correct,” Aura said, still keeping her eyes on me. “It is her power that will keep my children satisfied while they are not cocooned in Mother Earth.” There was a long pause before Aura added, “Tell me, Ella. Where shall I send my children?”

My eyes widened even more as I looked from Aura to my mother, and then to Hazel.

“I have to choose?” I asked, my voice becoming less confident.

“It is you they feed from,” Hazel said, giving me a head nod. “You must choose 4 cities or towns for them to protect.”

“This was a lot of pressure; I didn’t want to make decisions like this.

“Can’t we protect the entire world or nation?” I asked, sounding disappointed by this choice.

“It does not work like that,” Aura said, a frown appearing on her lips. “Protecting the earth, which is what we normally do, does not protect your people. We can only protect the earth by preventing darkness from harming it any further than it already has. When darkness was conjured, it cracked the earth. I must spend time nurturing her and putting her back together. I must breathe life back into her. I can protect her from further damage, but that won’t protect your people; darkness can still get to you. I am extending my children and allowing them the freedom to protect those who reside on the earth, but they can only protect so much at once. They can each protect an area, but you can’t expect them to protect much more than the city lines. Asking one of my children to protect more than one city at a time, is asking too much.”

“Butt they can protect more than one pack?” I asked for clarity.

“If these packs are within the same city or town, then yes,” Aura confirmed. “So, tell me, Ella, where shall I send my children?”

The orbs of light that danced around her glowed even brighter and their giggling grew louder, making Aura smile up at them. She whispered to them, and they seemed to be whispering back in a tone that I found difficult to hear.

Come to think of it, I don’t think they were speaking English.

“My children had told me your powers are quite delicious; they will be very happy here for as long as you need them,” Aura said, a twinkle of love in her eyes.

“They’ve already fed from me?” I asked, my face warming. “They didn’t come near me though hand I didn’t feel anything.”

“They don’t need to be near you to feed from you; your powers are strong enough to extend to them from a great distance,” she explained. After a moment of pause she added, “You need to not fear them. Your powers will recharge from the moonlight. My children feeding from you won’t be noticed by you. We respect you very much, Ella. We wouldn’t aim to harm you. You can trust us.”

I didn’t know her, but for some reason, I did trust her.

“I trust you,” I said, bowing my head to her.

She smiled, which caused her to glow even brighter.

“Where shall I send my children?” She asked again.

I looked at my mother and we locked eyes for a moment before I looked back up at Aura.

“Elysium,” I said firmly and proudly. “I want one of them to protect the town of Elysium. It is where my father’s pack is and I want them, along with all the other 5 packs in Elysium protected.”

Aura nodded her head once and turned to one of the glowing orbs. She whispered something to the orb and then to my utter amazement, she kissed it. As her lips made contact, the orb, her child, grew even brighter and then it flew into the air. We all watched as it swirled around the night sky and disappeared.

“You have 3 more,” Aura said, fixing her eyes on me again.

I looked at Colton and my heart skipped a beat when I saw the love and compassion in his eyes.

“The Calypso pack is in the town of Rostling. It is the home of my mate's pack. There are two other packs in this town as well; I’d like them all protected.”

Aura turned to another one of her orbs and whispered something to it; like before, she kissed the orb and then it flew into the sky, brighter than ever, reminding me of a star. Then, it flew off into the distance like a shooting star and disappeared before our eyes.

“You have 2 more,” Aura said with a fond smile as she looked back at me.

I swallowed the lump in my throat.

“The city of Higala,” I said firmly. “That’s where my school is and there are 3 packs that reside in that city. Including Alpha Jonathan’s pack. I might not like or trust him, but I would like his pack protected along with the others and that school.”

Aura turned to her second-to-last orb and whispered something to it; she kissed it gently and watched as it flew into the sky and twirled with excitement before disappearing.
