I Kissed My Professor And He Liked It novel Chapter 306

Ella’s POV

“She’s mine!” Alex growled, which shocked me to my core.

“You rejected her,” I seethed, glaring at Alex. “She is not yours anymore.”

“The mate bond is still there,” Alex growled. “She’s mine until I say otherwise.”

Bri couldn’t take her eyes off Ethan. When I looked at Ethan, he was no longer looking at Bri, but glaring at Alex. I could have sworn I saw smoke coming out of his nostrils.

“Bri, come with me,” Alex proceeded to order, reaching out to grab her.

“Don’t you dare fucking touch her!” Ethan growled, rumbling the entire ground.

Brianna looked terrified; I thought she was about to cry at any moment and my heart was hurting for her. I couldn’t imagine what she must have been thinking right about now.

I grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the way just as Ethan shifted into his large orange wolf and lunged at Alex who had also shifted. The two growled loudly as claws swiped at one another, drawing blood that I couldn’t figure out which wolf it came from.

Brianna screamed for them to stop, tears finally flooding her face as all her emotions came out at once.

Ethan dug his teeth into Alex’s collarbone, making his wolf yelp in agony. Despite Alex being a gamma, Ethan was a lot bigger and much stronger. Ethan had spent a lot of time with Jake and helping him train other gammas, so he knew a thing or two about fighting. I shouldn’t have been surprised considering he was Colton’s beta.

The growls and snarls terrified Brianna; tears poured down her face and her entire body trembled.

I grabbed onto her arm, trying to get her attention, but she wouldn’t look away from the fight.

The metallic scent of blood invaded my nose, but I couldn’t be sure who it belonged to. They were both getting decent strikes in, Alex with his claws and Ethan with his canines. There was blood pooling on the ground as they tackled one another. Neither of their wolves submitted or backed down.

They were furious.

A gamma and a Beta. Things were getting majorly dangerous. Bri shouldn’t be seeing any of this stuff. I turned to my other friends, and I saw that Luis had already taken Becca inside. I heard her whimpering moments ago, and now they were gone.

Kay stood staring wide-eyed at the fight, her body trembling. She wasn’t a wolf so if they were to attack her in the crossfire, she wouldn’t be able to protect herself. The magic she has is mainly for the forest.

She was a forest fairy after all.

I’m sure she’s never been this close to a wolf fight before.

A loud howl echoed through the night, and I turned to see that both my father and Alpha Jonathan were now shifted into their wolf forms. My father’s wolf was huge and ran as fast as he could toward the fighting wolves. Alpha Jonathan wasn’t far behind him; between the two of them, they shook the earth when they ran.

“Get her inside!” My father screamed through our shared mindlink.

I finally willed my feet to move, and I tugged Brianna’s arm, trying to pull her with me. I heard the low growl of her wolf in her throat; she didn’t want to leave. She wanted to stay here with her mate; whichever one she chose.

But telling from the distant look in her wet eyes as she stared at the fighting wolves, I knew the human in her didn’t know what to do.

“Bri,” I said softly. “Come with me.”

She stood her ground, staring and lightly growling at the scene before her. It was like I wasn’t even.

“Bri?” I said again, this time with a question.

Her growls only grew louder and that was when I realized Brianna wasn’t there at all; her wolf was there. I needed to speak to her wolf.

“Amira…” I said to her wolf, trying to keep my tone as calm as possible. “Amira, please… let her go. Your mate will come to you when he’s ready.”

Brianna’s breathing grew shaky, but the growling had lessened. I knew I had her wolf’s attention and I needed to tread carefully if I wanted her wolf to give her full control again.

“Your mate will come to you, Amira. But you need to protect Brianna right now. You need to release her so she can get to safety. It’s what he’d want.”

“Mate…” Brianna whispered; except it wasn’t Brianna. It was her wolf, Amira.

I understood that and I respected it.

“Yes,” I said softly. “He’s your mate. He will come to you. Protect Brianna…” I repeated slowly. “Protect your human, Amira.”

Brianna blinked and then her eyes found mine.

“Ella…” she whispered, her voice cracking.

I knew she was back; I hadn’t realized I was crying until I blinked, and tears were released down my cheeks.

We all turned to see Luis and Becca standing in front of us. It was Luis who had spoken, and his words took us by surprise.

Of course, I had heard of a second chance mate. But they were extremely rare.

“A second chance mate?” Kay was the one who asked, sitting on one of the love seats.

Luis nodded.

“It’s possible,” Luis stated simply. “I don’t know much about the situation, but Miss Brianna has two wolves fighting over her. Both claiming to be her mate.”

“I thought the mate bond had to be severed before a second chance mate is granted,” Becca asked, furrowing her brows together.

“Not always,” Luis said, glancing at her. “If the moon goddess feels it's deserving, she can grant it earlier than that.”

“She is the goddess,” I shrugged, glancing at Bri’s pale face. “She can do what she wants, and it does seem like she gave you a second chance mate.”

“But why not take away the mate I already have?” She asked, her voice quivering.

“Perhaps she wants you to choose for yourself,” Luis suggested. “Or rather, wants your wolf to make the choice.”

A thought came to me at that moment.

“My mother always told me to trust my wolf because my wolf will never steer me wrong. You have to trust Amira. She knows what’s best for you both. She loves you and wants to protect you. She wants to protect her mate as well; she already knows who her true mate is. Just let her tell you…”

Bri looked at me for a long while; she blinked away some of the leftover tears before swallowing hard.

Then, her eyes hardened, and she nodded as she stood to her feet. I stood with her, ready to fight whatever battle she wanted to fight. But before we could say anything more, the door swung open, turning all of our attention.

“Hey, guys.”

I stood, staring at the person in the doorway with my mouth practically on the floor.

I couldn’t believe who was standing in front of us.
