Chapter 454: Chapter 509

Chapter 0509 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?” “I can’t disclose that right now, but with time I’m sure Headmaster Prescott will explain everything. She asked me to go around campus

and make sure all students were backin their dorms. If you are staying here tonight, I suggest you lock the doors to the library. Or lock the doors and return to your faculty house. It’s not safe out there.” I could practically hear how quickly her heart was beating; she looked like she wanted to burst out crying. She was very familiar with almost every student at this school, including those who go to school at night.

I’m sure the thought of one of them being dead broke her heart.

But she didn’t say anything; she shakily nodded and leaned against her desk for support.

“Pm sorry I had to be the one to tell you,” I said solemnly.

«ye need to hurry and get back to our mate,” Max whined.

I knew he was right, but Thad a job to do as well. Without another word, I turned and left the library, silently sending a prayer to the goddess that she watched over Stephanie the librarian because she was going to need all the help she could get if she wanted to get through this without falling apart.

I went into the student lounge and only saw a couple of vampires sitting with one another. There was a girl amongst them that reeked of wolf. I recognized her as Lydia; one of my students.

“You all need to get back to your dorms. There’s been a tragedy that happened this evening and Headmaster Prescott is requesting everybody's return,” I told them, but my eyes never left Lydia who stared back at me with a red face and large eyes.

She had a couple of puncture wounds on her neck and one of the tall muscular male vampires had his hand on her thin waist, keeping her close to him.

“Lydia, you shouldn’t have been here in the first place. It’s past curfew for you,” I told her firmly, raising my brows at her dazed look.

«She’s with us,” the vampire that held onto her waist said, pulling her even closer.

She willingly went with him, pressing her body against his.

“you know it’s against school law to feed off students,” I said, narrowing my eyes at him. “You could get expelled for this.” “Relax, teach. She likes it,” he said, giving me a cocky side grin as he leaned into her ear and whispered, “Don’t you?” “Yes, baby,” she purred in return. “Ilike ita lot.” “That doesn’t matter,” I said, trying to keep my temper under control but they were really pissing me off. “It’s against school rules.

Headmaster Prescott ordered everybody back to their dorms.” I paused as I looked at them. “Your assigned dorms,” I added through my teeth.
