My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

Chapter 264

Third Person POV

Rachel walked the narrow hallway of the academic center as the sun began to set on Sunday night. Blood had stained her lip, and she used her thumb to wipe the remainder of it off before leaving the building and returning to her dorm.

She felt the darkness within her wiggle with delight as the blood it just consumed filled and strengthened it. Rachel didn’t understand her sudden craving for blood; as a bear, they didn’t drink or desire blood. But the sudden urge was too much for her to ignore and she would stop at nothing to satisfy the craving.

The warm pool of blood from her victim made the darkness inside her excited. Once she started, she couldn’t find the willpower to stop. Not until the heart of the victim had stopped beating and she stopped struggling against Rachel’s hold.

She had died and Rachel buried her deep in the basement of the academic center; somewhere nobody goes.

As she rounded the corner and pushed open the doors, a girl ran into her coming from the opposite direction, making Rachel’s head spin and the darkness swirl around her in fury.

“OH! Sorry, Rachel. I didn’t see you there,” the girl, Rachel recognized as Mckenzi in her bear–shifting class, said.

Rachel glared at the girl and as soon as the girl looked into Rachel’s eyes, her smile immediately dropped. Rachel’s eyes were dark and becoming inhuman; Rachel couldn’t help the anger she felt despite her desperate efforts to keep her cool.

The girl gasped but tried her best to hold her composure. Though her body trembled, and she took a step back the girl said in a low tone, “I’ll see you later.”

She turned on her heel and began to run in the opposite direction. Rachel hissed an animalist and snake–like sound. She was about to run after the girl and have her for a late–night lunch, but she soon got a terrible migraine that made her stop in her tracks. She leaned against the building, panting for breath, trying to regain her rattled brain.
