My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

Chapter 281 He Still Won’t Talk

Lila’s POV

“Where?” I asked, quickly standing to my feet. “Where is this darkness?”

“I cannot say,” she said, a quizzical look in her eyes. “Darkness is such a powerful force that it feels as if it is everywhere, and yet nowhere.”

“But you are sure that it’s here?”

“Yes,” she answered. “As sure that I am that you and I are here.”

“I thought the purpose of the barrier was to keep darkness out,” I said, shaking my head with frustration. “I don’t understand how it can be here.”

“My mother explained that we cannot banish or destroy darkness. If darkness was already here before the barrier, it will remain. Maybe not be as powerful, and it might feel a bit of discomfort being within this barrier, but it will not be destroyed. If given the right tools, it can be strong again.”

“The right tool? What kind of tool are you talking about?” I asked.

“There are many,” she answered. “The most powerful is the moonstone.”

My heart fell into my stomach upon hearing her words.

“I thought the moonstone was for protection?” I asked. “How can it give darkness power?”

“The Moonstone is a powerful tool that could protect or destroy. Depending on who wields it and who what it’s used for.”

I rubbed my bare wrist; my mother had given me a moonstone bracelet on my 16(th) birthday; it was supposed to be meant to protect me. I took it off days ago and stored it in my jewelry box, forgetting to put it back on.

I rushed to the jewelry box that sat on my dresser. Opening it, I began to rummage through it.

“Where is it…” I murmured to myself.

The bracelet… it was gone. I could have sworn I put it in here.

Shaking my head, I stumbled away from the box.

“I mustn’t stay in this form. If I’m gone from the barrier for too long, it won’t remain, and dark magic will be able to enter.”

“You are able to keep dark magic away?” I asked, looking at her. My heart was racing as the realization that my moonstone bracelet had gone clouded my brain.

She nodded her head once.

“Dark magic cannot enter the barrier and the magic that was here previously has been banished. But darkness itself remains.”
