My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

Chapter 265

Ella’s POV

“Oh, my goddess; did you hear what happened last night?” Kay asked as she ran up to Becca and me in the dining hall.

I had a tray of food she almost knocked over in the process of grabbing my arm excitedly.

“What’s up?” I asked, trying not to sound too annoyed with her. Looking at her excited face though, the annoyance melted away.

“Everybody got their powers back!” She nearly screamed and on cue, others started clapping excitedly around her.

“Everybody?” I asked, raising my brows, and looking around.

“All the witches, and those with abilities,” she answers. “Yes!”

“That’s incredible!” Becca said, mimicking my thoughts. “Thank goodness for that.”

“Yeah,” I agreed, relieved that everything was restored to normal.

“Yup,” she said, her eyes twinkling with happiness. “And I know how it happened.”

I raised my brows at her as we made our way through the dining hall and toward an empty table, the only other table available.

“Do tell,” I said, sitting down beside Becca.

Kay sat in front of me and leaned in close, lowering her voice so only we could hear her.

“It’s the guardian of the earth,” Kay said, completely and utterly

surprising me. Of course, I knew that the guardian was involved, but how did Kay?

“The guardian of the earth?” Becca asked, looking at me and then back at Kay. “Who is that?”

“She’s our earth mother,” Kay explained simply. “She’s the protector of the earth; like the ground we stand on. As a forest fairy, we worship her like a goddess. We work closely with the guardian and her orb children. I can sense her magic a mile away and this is definitely her magic.”

“If she protects the earth, then why would she restore your magic?” Becca asked, taking a bite of her spaghetti.

Professor And He liked it s

I’m assuming whatever took our magic was also hurting the earth,” Kay Ki, shrugging. “Her earth.”

My stomach clenched; I knew exactly what was hurting the earth. It was darkness and I also knew the guardian wasn’t going to be able to keep darkness away for long. Even Aura said that darkness would grow and soon her barriers wouldn’t be strong enough to keep it out.

I wonder what was hurting the earth,” Becca breathed, and I could hear the worry in her tone.

“Whatever it is, the guardian is protecting us from it,” Kay said, a smile planted on her lips. “Thank goddess for her. I don’t know what we’d do without her. But I’m so happy that our magic is back!”

“That’s really incredible,” I said, trying to give her a non–bothered smile. I looked down at my own plate of spaghetti, suddenly not hungry. I was too worried about this darkness that’s been conjured. But I didn’t want to tell them this because it would only worry them and cause the school to go into a frenzy.
