I Kissed My Professor And He Liked It novel Chapter 292

Ella’s POV

“Good evening, students. This is Alpha Jonathan. I know you’re not used to hearing me on the intercom, but Headmaster Prescott is a little busy right now. Unfortunately, with new facts and evidence we are reopening the murder cases and I’m enforcing another lockdown until further notice. But the good news is you will not be missing out on any classes. I have purchased enough laptops for every student at this school and starting Wednesday you will be doing online courses until this lockdown is over. We are hoping by next week you will be back to in-person classes. Only authorized officials will be allowed to roam the campus and if any students for whatever reason need to leave their dormitories, I ask that the dorm advisors make sure that a gamma warrior accompanies them. As we know more information, we will update you. Until then, I thank you for your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience.”

As Alpha Jonathan’s voice faded away, leaving the crackling of the speakers, the entire campus had fallen silent. Rachel and I still stood outside staring up at the sky as if the voice came from the heavens above.

I knew this lockdown was approaching, but it didn’t make this announcement any less hard to hear.

“Get to your dorms,” I heard the gruff sounds of a gamma warrior saying as he walked outside of the student lounge. “Nobody should be outside right now. You heard the Alpha. Let's go.”

He motioned for us to go with him to the dorms.

I glanced at Rachel who looked pale but neither of us argued with the warrior. We went directly to the dorm and once we got into the living quarters of our section, a bunch of other girls were scrambling around in a panic.

Some were curled up on the couch and crying.

Eileen Carter was trying her best to calm everyone down, but to no prevail.

She looked stressed too.

I walked over to her, leaving Rachel’s side.

“Can I help?” I asked, peering at Miss Carter with a compassionate gaze.

She sighed and nodded.

“I just need them to relax,” she said, sounding just as exhausted as she looked.

I nodded in understanding and closed my eyes. I wasn’t used to this ability yet; I hadn’t practiced with it often. But I knew I could manipulate their minds and spread my own aura to those around me. I’ve never tried to do this at the same time though.

I imagined each student in this dormitory to calm down and relax. I imagined that they stopped crying and felt at ease. My bright aura shined even brighter and expanded from my body to touch each of them.

Without opening my eyes, I knew it was working. Their crying seemed to have lessened, and I heard some sighing in relief as their bodies relaxed.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that they were looking a lot more at ease, though they still had worry in their eyes and they appeared to be pale.

I looked at Miss Carter who seemed surprised but then she looked at me incredibly pleased.

“Thank you,” she breathed.

I nodded, giving her a faint smile.

I looked at Rachel who stood frozen, she still looked incredibly pale, and it didn’t seem my abilities had worked on her. She was very tense, and her body trembled slightly. I furrowed my brows at her; something was seriously off with her.

Colton was right.

She wasn’t acting like herself, and I needed to be wary of her. This pained me to think because Rachel had been my best friend from my very first day at this school.

“Are you okay?” I asked as I walked toward her.

She blinked a few times as if she was in some kind of trance and then she nodded, forcing a smile.

“Yes,” she answered. “I’m going to get some rest.”

On that note, she turned and ran up the stairs and toward our dorm room.

Third Person POV

“You were careless when you chose to murder at my school,” Alpha Jonathan growled; his ember eyes glowing as his wolf fought to take control.

He stalked toward Jazzy and Zagreus who stood near the cage that would soon trap that Volana wolf.

“We took care of it,” Jazzy said, folding her arms across her chest. “That nobody boy took the fall thanks to my love.”

She gave Zagreus a pointed look who only grinned in return.

“Yeah, well it wasn’t good enough,” he growled. “They are reopening the investigation because they refuse to believe he did it.”

That got Jazzy’s attention: she straightened her stance as she stared at the Alpha.

“What are you talking about? He confessed,” she said through her teeth. “Why would they reopen this?”
