My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

Chapter 0506 I Lila’s POV “They found somebody dead?” I asked in a hoarse whisper, turning to face Enzo who had a grave look on his face. I knew from his face alone that it was true and suddenly my heart hurt. I had to lean against him to support the weight of my body before I completely fell over.

“Yes; a student,” he finally answered, audibly swallowing.

“I'm not sure,” he said shaking his head. “I should have reported it sooner.” “You knew about it?” I asked, furrowing my brows together.

I stepped out of his strong embrace and peered up at him.

“I smelled something off earlier,” he admitted, meeting my eyes. “It smelled like rotting flesh; it was disgusting. Made me nearly throw up.
