My Professor Is My Alpha Mate
#Chapter 225 A Close Encounter

Enzo's POV

"Something is wrong with our mate,” Max's voice came into my head while I was in the middle of speaking to the researcher.

We could smell the wolfsbane potently since Hazel broke the masking spell on it, but now he was generating some new reports to prove that there was indeed wolfbane in the mixture so I could present it to not just Professor Xander, but the school board as well.

I already called to schedule a meeting with Tiffany Prescott, and I was planning on going there first thing in the morning.

That is until Max spoke the words that left me frozen.

"What do you mean something is wrong?” I asked my wolf in return.

"Don't you feel it? She's nearby and something is wrong. I can feel her worries... her anxieties. A little bit of her pain as well. She's far enough away where it's not coming through clearly... but she’s close enough that I can just reach her...”

“She's at school; we aren't supposed to be able to feel her right now,” I said in return, wanting to ignore him and continue my conversation with the researcher, but his loud voice stopped me.

“I'm telling you, she's in range. She's around somewhere and she’s in danger,” Max growled, and I could feel just how serious he was.

“I don't understand,” I said, shaking my head at the thought. “What would she be doing this close to here?” Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“I don't know, Enzo,” Max growled. “But she is. We need to go to her.”

“Where is she?”

“I don't know.”

“Then how do we go to her?” I asked.

“I don't know..."

“We just want to make this world safe for our pup...” he said, his voice going a little too soft that I had to lean a little bit forward to hear him. “A Volana-infested world isn't safe.”

I heard her cry lightly and then she sniffled.

"What world is our pup going to be born into?” She asked in a broken whisper.

“A safe one... I will make sure of it."

My heart clenched at their words; Casey was pregnant, and it seemed that Charlie was the father. They were going to be parents and they thought a world of Volana wolves was a dangerous world. They feel threatened by us

But the reasoning behind that is unclear to me.

We weren't dangerous; at least, my mother and I weren't. Enzo’s mother isn't dangerous either and it didn't seem like any of those in her village were dangerous either. But none of them even have their abilities anymore, so hunting them didn’t make any sense.

Did that mean there were Volana wolves that weren't good? Ones that used their powers for evil instead of good? I didn’t want to believe such a thing, but it was the only thing that was truly making sense to me.

I bit my lip, trying to keep myself from crying.

“Ugh... it smells in here,” she whispered, and I could tell her face was pressed against his side. "Almost like wolfbane... do you smell that?”

My heart fell into my stomach.

Wolfsbane.

Was that what Xander had injected me with? That made me feel like my inside was on fire and made me pass out. Was that what they were smelling instead of my Volana scent?

“There's no one here..." he assured her. “But yeah... I smell that too. The flower could be growing somewhere around here.”

“Leave it to that stupid pack to have wolfbane flowers growing,” she murmured.

I could practically hear her eye roll.

“We are outside the pack so I doubt it's them,” he said in return.

“still...” she huffed. “It's weird that we couldn't smell it from outside the barn.”

“It's not dangerous unless we are injected with it. Smelling it won't do a damn thing. Just get some sleep,” Charlie pleaded.

“Fine...” she murmured, and soon, they both went silent.

My heart was pounding against my ribcage; they couldn't smell anything from outside so maybe Enzo couldn't smell me either. I glanced up at the window; the little bit of sunlight left was completely gone and the barn had gone completely dark.

After a few minutes, I heard the light snoring of both those rogues, and I smiled knowing they were completely out.

Quietly, I emerged from the shadows. There was a lot of hay left in the cage and I might be able to use that to my advantage. As quietly and slowly as I could I moved the hay piles to the window. A couple of times I had to freeze when I heard the snoring stop, but then it continued shortly after. Once the hay was piled up until it reached the window, I took a deep breath before willing my limbs to move and climb up the hay pile. I clenched my teeth as pain shot through me; I was incredibly weak and thought I was calling to fall at any moment, but I finally reached the top of the hay pile.

I could have fallen asleep once I reached the top, but I knew I needed to get that window open. I needed Enzo to smell me, or at least sense me. I needed this to work.

I was more than relieved when I saw that the window was unlocked. When I finally got it open, I wafted with the fresh breeze of the outdoors, and I soaked in the fresh scent of the earth.

But I also smelled something else, and my mouth instantly watered with desires.

Despite having my wolf asleep and hidden in the back of my mind, I could still smell my mate. Enzo was nearby.
