The Alpha Professor and His Mate Chapter Twenty-Five
Lucas had felt Marcella as soon as she got into the library that Saturday morning, thanks to the growing bond between them. Resolving to avoid her as he still felt guilty about the way he had treated her earlier that week, he quickly moved his things from the second floor to the fifth floor and picked a secluded spot to continue working on the quiz he was going to give her class the next Monday. He also noticed that a certain group of teenage girls who had been on the second floor had also changed positions and followed him, not so discreetly but he chose to act oblivious to their presence, shaking his head at the thought that humans could be so superficial. His escape however was short-lived when he felt Marcella drawing closer to his location a few minutes later until he caught a faint whiff of her scent from behind him.Shit.He was going to ignore her but his wolf had been giving him a hard time all week since their last interaction. He didn't know how to let his stubborn wolf kn

As she arrived at the café, Marcella saw that there was a small line already forming outside. She rushed inside and quickly started her shift, taking orders and making the coffees as quickly as she could. It was a busy morning, and Marcella knew she didn't have a moment to spare."Good morning! What can I get for you?" Marcella greeted the first customer, a regular who always ordered a latte with extra foam."Same as usual," the customer replied, smiling."Coming right up!" Marcella quickly prepared the order and handed it over.The next set of customers were a group of teenagers who ordered different types of frappuccinos. Marcella made their drinks with a smile, enjoying their youthful exuberance.As the morning rush continued, she started to feel the pressure mounting. She was working as fast as she could, but the line just kept getting longer. Also, her coworker Ruth was yet to arrive and she felt a little irritated at her tardiness. She was working on a cup of hot coffee for a l

As they walked towards the ice cream shop later that afternoon, Gina looped her arm through Marcella's and grinned. "You look like you've had a rough day, and I've got just the thing to make you feel better then you can tell me all about it."Marcella managed a weak smile in response. She was still feeling a bit upset about not getting enough time to write way more than she could have for the quiz, and the events at work had left her feeling dejected. She had also later found out that Professor Lucas apologised to the class before the quiz for his intolerant behaviour in his last class. Apparently, there was a gift for whoever scored the highest in the quiz and she was optimistic. They entered the ice cream shop, and the sweet smell of waffle cones and freshly churned ice cream hit her nostrils. Gina led her towards the counter and told her to order whatever she wanted. Marcella felt a little better as she perused the flavours, finally settling on a small scoop of chocolate and a

Marcella saw Emily's lips trembling as she fought back a sob. She couldn't believe that Samantha would leave without telling Emily of all people, they were practically like sisters. "Why wouldn't she just say so then? I tell her everything and we were even going to rent a place together," Emily said, her voice shaking."I don't know," the girl said with a shrug as she went to start getting dressed. "Maybe she didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. The dude could be married and if word got out of her involvement with him, the backlash on her would be brutal…" she trailed off.Marcella went to comfort Emily who was crying out loud now. As much as she didn't get along with her, she knew it would be painful to lose a close friend. "I just wish she would have said something," Emily said quietly.Esmeralda also came and put a comforting hand on her shoulder. "I know, Emily. It's tough when someone leaves without warning. But you'll get through it. And hey, maybe we can plan a night out soo

Lucas already knew Marcella wasn't in class before he opened the door and stepped into the classroom but he still scanned everyone's faces briefly and found her usual seat empty. Feeling a knot form in his stomach at her unexplained absence, he tried to push back his concern. There must be a very good reason why his best performing student wasn't in class yet. If she was in mortal danger, he would know, thanks to the bond. He had experience in that regard after all. Clearing his throat, he began to list out the instructions for the quiz as he tried to push his worry aside but as he went on, he couldn't help but notice that the students seemed a bit subdued today. They were usually a bit more lively and engaged, but today they seemed to be holding back. Lucas couldn't blame them, he had been short with them in the last class, and he felt guilty about it. Their scents all had varying levels of fear mixed in and they looked tense, as if they were waiting for him to snap out at them a

Marcella woke up the next morning, feeling more tired than usual. She wasn't looking forward to going to work at the café, where she'd been treated poorly by her boss for so long. She had considered taking Esmeralda's advice and quitting but knew she needed the money to pay their bills.As she got ready to leave, her thoughts kept returning to her boss's harsh words and how she was tired of being treated like she didn't matter. She wondered if there was any point in staying at a job where she wasn't respected or appreciated. She didn't know what awaited her and who knows, maybe he was even going to fire her.When she arrived at the café, her boss was already there, preparing for the day. There were no customers in sight because the sign still said 'Closed.' That wasn't a good sign because he always opened extra early. Feeling even more apprehensive, she stepped inside and was shocked to see her boss in an apron, cleaning the counters. Yup. She was definitely fired. He looked up at h

Lucas practically burst through the door to his penthouse apartment, his heart pounding in his chest and then seeing Anna lying on the floor, unconscious and covered in blood, his worst fears had been confirmed. He threw away the bags in his hands as he rushed to her side, falling to his knees as he gently lifted her head. Her white blonde hair had red streaks in them and she looked really old and weak, which was her real true appearance while her body was cold and clammy. He could see the gaping wounds on her chest and abdomen where she had been attacked. Claw marks. He clenched his jaws as he tried to remain level headed. The sight of her injuries made his wolf growl deep within him, the urge to seek vengeance consuming him as he tamped down his rage."Anna!" he called out, shaking her gently. "Anna, can you hear me?"There was no response, and his heart sank. He knew that if he didn't act quickly, she might not survive. He automatically checked her pulse even though he could hear

The air in the meeting room was thick with tension as Bolton's eyes narrowed, and his jaw clenched. The silence was deafening as his lieutenants waited for him to speak.Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, he slowly rose up from his seat at the head of the long table, his fists clenched so tightly that the veins on the backs of his hands bulged. His lieutenants sat in silence, eyes downcast, as he glared at all of them furiously."How could you let this happen?" he spat. "We had a hundred and twenty recruits and they were all taken out by one female werewolf?!"The room was tense as his lieutenants looked at each other, unsure of how to respond. Finally, one of them spoke up from his left, "S-Sir, we believe she may be a lone werewolf, not affiliated with any pack. She seems to have been operating under the radar for a while now."Bolton's lip curled in disgust. "A lone female werewolf? Can you hear yourself? A lone female werewolf attacked and wiped out the new recruits with
