My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

' Chapter 0417 I gazed up at the small window above my head; it was high enough that I couldn’t \ reach it without standing on something.

The light that peered through was fading, I which meant it was becoming dusk i quickly. I knew once night fell completely, I'd be in even more danger. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

That’s when the creatures of the night start lurking around because they can blend with the shadows. Like evil rogues, dark witches, vampires, and other rogue shifters.

My heart was pounding at the very thought; it wouldn’t be long before they could smell me and come looking for me.

I doubt Professor Xander properly sealed this barn before he left. Why would he? The whole point of this is to kill me without getting his hands dirty.

I pressed my lips together angrily; I was stupid to try and investigate him by

I should have told Enzo of my ' problems with him from the beginning, Maybe he could have helped me, and I [ ' wouldn’t have ended up in this position, ) 1 fought to stay awake, though it seemed like a losing battle. I was so exhausted, I and felt so weak. I knew something was wrong with me, but this was a feeling I never had before, and I wasn’t sure what to do about it, I'took a deep breath and closed my eyes, focusing on my senses though they weren't particularly strong. If I could just figure out where I am, I might be able to find my way out of here, As I gathered my senses, the strong smell of Hay and mildew consumed my nose, making me want to gag. But then I heard something that made me freeze entirely.

It sounded like footsteps coming from outside; I could also hear the rustling of trees from the wind, but these footsteps fell in line with one another, so I knew

I they belonged to more than one person.

Or whatever creature it was. Fi But maybe it could be someone who could I help me. As my hopes began to rise that I was about to get out of there, the words I of Xander played in the back of my mind.

“Trust no one... even if you think they can be trusted, when it comes to your life...

think survival.” At the time, it didn’t make sense as to why he was giving me this lesson, but as I lay in this barn, caged in and weak, I realized that there was nobody around to help me in this situation besides myself.

Whoever was approaching this barn was not a friend and I needed to be careful.

The footsteps grew closer and soon, I was starting to hear the murmuring sounds of voices. It sounded like a guy and a girl and once they neared the barn doors, the scent of rogues invaded my nose.

’ Wy 7'YBVZWa I I quickly scurried to the farthest corner of ! the cage, engaging myself with the I shadows that lurked nearby. I might not ~~ § I have the ability to manipulate the shadows, but they still worked in my I favor, and I knew I was safe within them.

I The doors of the barn swung open; as predicted, Xander didn’t even bother locking them. I saw the figure of a guy walking into the barn. He was shirtless with a pair of ripped jeans and he was barefoot. His hair was on the longer side, resting just above his shoulders and it looked wet from rain. I hadn't even realized it was raining... or maybe it was sweat? His back was turned from me so I couldn’t get a good look at his face, but I saw deep and gnarly scratches on his back, making me wince. I'm sure that must have hurt; it's strange how he hadn’t healed from that, but maybe it had just happened.

I Behind him stood a young girl; she didn’t } look much older than me. She had long blonde hair, which was also wet, and she I I wore a bra with a pair of jeans that looked I almost designer. She had a nice figure and bright features, though she reeked of rogues.

Unlike the guy, I was able to get a look at her face and I was shocked to see that her eyes were tinted red, and she looked like a mix of pissed and worried.

She looked around the barn for a moment with a look of disgust.

“Are you sure nobody is here? It smells like shit,” she muttered, staring up at the man.

He looked around as well, and that was when I also saw his face. I had to stifle a gasp when I realized who he was. I covered my mouth with my hands and kept myself buried in the shadows.

They were part of Paul’s clan.

I They were Volana hunters.
