My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

Chapter 259

Ella’s POV

Hazel instantly knelt to the ground and bowed her head low in respect to the guardian. The rest of us did the same.

The guardian, Aura, scanned us with her beautiful blue eyes with an expression unreadable, yet filled with serenity. She was beautiful and fierce at the same time; it was almost intimidating and difficult to look at her for an extended period of time.

“Guardian of Earth, thank you for coming,” Hazel said, speaking in a tone that was low and direct.

“You have summoned, we have come,” Aura said, looking down at Hazel. “Tell me, daughter. Why have you summoned-”

Her voice broke off and she looked off in the distance at nothing particular, as if something had just called for her. She breathed in deeply, closing her eyes while she floated to the ground until she was kneeling beside Hazel.

She pressed the palms of her delicate pearly white hands to the hard mass of the ground and took in another deep breath. It seemed like she was smelling something, or maybe she was just taking it in.

But what she was taking in, I wasn’t sure.

We all remained silent, not daring to speak while she intoned herself with the earth and felt the ground with her hands. Then her eyes opened, and she let out a gasp before floating back into the air and resuming her spot just above Hazel’s head.

“Darkness….” she whispered.

This time when she looked at us, I saw that her eyes were glistening with sadness and remorse. If she wasn’t already porcelain white, I would have thought she had gotten whiter, but that couldn’t have been possible. A single, sparkling, tear escaped from her left eye and washed over her cheek. It didn’t drip from her though, it disappeared once it reached her chin.

“The earth weeps with pain and agony,” she spoke in a tone so low I had to strain to hear her. “Darkness had touched down and it hurts the earth

in its core.”

We all remained silent, Hazel bowed her head lower and the rest of us
