I Kissed My Professor And He Liked It novel Chapter 272

Colton’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,” I 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 ears 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 scattered 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; God damn 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?”
