Chapter 507
Chapter 0507 I'wanted to go talk to Headmaster Prescott; I started to numbly move in her direction, but Enzo grabbed my arm, stopping me.
“Stay here and wait for me,” he told me firmly.
I'wanted to protest, but the look on his face quickly shut me up. I watched as he walked over to Headmaster Prescott and Alpha Jonathan, both of whom were continuing their conversations with one of the police officers.
“Every student needs to be investigated,” I heard Alpha Jonathan saying to the officer; the officer was part of his pack, so it was only right that Alpha Jonathan was the one telling him what to do.
“Yes, Alpha,” the officer said. “We are collecting evidence as we speak and once we gather enough, we will pull students and speak with them individually.” “Start with the wretched vampires,” Alpha Jonathan seethed, making me flinch.
“We can’t stereotype,” Prescott said calmly, clearly trying to keep herself calm. “There are a lot of students here and—” “Her blood was drained,” Jonathan hissed. “We are starting with the vampires.” “There weren’t any fang marks on her neck,” the officer said, staring
down at his notes with a timid frown. “But it seemed as if her body was torn into.” “So, what are you saying? A wolf did this?” Alpha Jonthan asked, narrowing his eyes.
“I’m not saying that either...” The officer began to say but was interrupted when Enzo approached, and Prescott took notice of him.
“Oh, good. Professor Enzo. As you can see, things are a bit messy tonight. I might need your help getting students back to their dorms safely. Whoever did this, is still out there and worried for the safety of everyone else.” “Iwill,” Enzo assured her, nodding his head. “I just wanted to see if there was anything else I could do to help and find out a bit more information. Do we have any leads?” “None of yet,” the officer said, still staring at his notes. “We are going to spend the night investigating and then pull students in for questioning. I think it’s wise if we cancel classes for the rest of the night and probably the next few days.” “T agree,” Prescott said, glancing at Alpha Jonathan.
He looked questionable at first, but then eventually nodded as well.
“What student was it?” Enzo asked; I shouldn’t have been surprised by his boldness, but I was.
“Merida Scott,” Headmaster Prescott answered grimly.
My heart tugged painfully in my chest; I knew her. She was a wolf in my grade, and she was also in both my art and werewolf history classes. She was an incredible artist; she’s been contributing a lot to the mural with her share of pictures.
I couldn’t believe she was gone.
Hearing her name made me dizzy and I had to lean against the wall for support. E Alpha Enzo was quiet, obviously recognizing the name as well.
“Alpha Jonathan, will you be staying with me again tonight?” Enzo asked, his voice oddly calm.
“No. I need to return to my pack tonight. I have a business to take care of. But I'll be back tomorrow to help with the investigation,” he answered.
Enzo nodded in response and turned to Headmaster Prescott, bowing his head slightly in respect and remorse.
“I’1l make sure students are back in their dorms and safe,” I assured her.
She looked grim but she nodded and gave him a small smile.
He said nothing more as he turned away and walked back to me. I was in an area where they couldn’t see me, not that they were paying attention anyway. They were quickly turning back to one another and speaking in low tones when Enzo reached me. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
“I’m taking you back to my house,” he told me gently. “Then I’m going ot make sure everyone else is back in their dorms.” I nodded, feeling unwell.
“Can you make sure Rachel and Becca are safe?” I asked.
“Alex should be there with them, but yes. I'll make sure they are safe as well,” he assured me.
I gave him a grateful smile and allowed him to lead me out of the dark corner of the building and toward the faculty housing. Most of the faculty were already inside; Enzo checked the perimeter before walking with me down the walkway and toward his house.
His house was the most hidden, so I wasn’t worried about anyone seeing me enter his house. But I was worried they’d see me walking toward it. But he checked the perimeter first and then walked in a way that I was covered as we walked down the walkway and into his house.
His house filled me with warmth and love when I picked up his scent, but it also filled me with a nauseated sense when I also picked up Alpha Jonathan's lingering scent. I felt my stomach clenching almost instantly.
He turned to me, giving me, a loving look and he wrapped me in his arms, holding me close.
“Lie down and I’ll be back in a few,” he assured me, bending down, and pressing his lips gently against mine, sending electric chills
throughout my body. My entire body tingled at his touch as I breathed him in.
Inodded but just before he pulled away, I grabbed his arm.
“Enzo...” I said in a low tone. “Please be careful. Whoever did this...
whatever monster killed Merida... they are still out there, and I have a feeling they will kill again.”
