My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

Chapter 273

Chapter 273 Head Count

Enzo’s POV

With a shaky voice, Eileen Carter turned to the trembling and frightened students.

“Everybody, get to your dorms and get some rest. When I find out more information, I’ll let you know,” she said, trying to maintain her strong composure, but I could see her fear shining through and I’m sure the students could too. “I’ll be going to your dorms and taking a head count,” she added.

My heart fell into my stomach; if she went to Lila’s dorm, she was going to see that Lila wasn’t there. There was no way in hell I would have Lila stay in this dorm; I needed her with me where I knew for certain she was safe.

The thought of her being alone in my faculty house right now left me feeling uneasy and I needed to get back to her as soon as possible.

“I can help you with that,” I told her. “I can take one section and you take the other. Just give me the list of students. There’re how many rooms in this section?”

“30,” she answered, “Dorm rooms are upstairs.”

I knew Lila’s dorm room number was room 112.

“I’ll take rooms 100-115, 1 told her.

She nodded and gave me half the list.

Thank you, professor,” she said.

I went up the curved stairs and reached the second floor. The doors were parallel to one another down a wide hallway. Students were walking into their dorms and keeping the doors open for the headcount.

All doors except for room 112; Lila’s room.

I knocked on the door at first and I heard scrambling around and whispering. I also heard Alex’s firm voice at the door, making me roll my eyes.

“Just open the door; they are going to see she’s missing regardless,” I heard him saying.

I heard other, softer, voices as well but I paid them no attention. I didn’t bother knocking again, I just opened the door and stepped inside; they went from terrified to relieved in seconds,

“Oh, thank goddess Becca breathed, sitting on the couch like she had just run a marathon. “I thought you were Miss Carter. Lila isn’t here-”

“I know, she’s with me,” I assured her. “I left her in my faculty house.”

“Is she okay?” Becca asked, peering up at me with a worried expression.

I nodded.

“She’s safe. But I’m keeping her there with me,” I told them.

“Look, if she’s going to be with you, then I’m going back to my pack. I don’t need to remain here and—”
