One Night With My Alpha Professor by Eve Above Story

Chapter 236

Edwin

I watched in horror as the silver arrow tore through the air. Time slowed, and those moments felt like an eternity.

My body froze, every muscle locked in place by the icy grip of impending death. There was no escape. This was it. This was how I would die.

But in the blink of an eye, a blur of black and silver darted in front of me.

Audrey.

“No!” The scream tore from my throat, raw and broken, but I was too late.

The arrow struck her with a sickening thud, driving deep into her chest. The force of the blow sent her flying backwards, her body crumpling into a heap on the snowy forest floor.

The world around me dissolved into chaos, but it was distant, m***d, drowned out by the frantic beating of my heart.

No. Not again. I can’t lose her again.

“Audrey!” I roared as I leaped to my feet and stumbled to her side. My knees hit the ground hard, pain barking through my body, but I barely noticed. All I noticed was my mate’s limp body, curled up in the snow.

You idiot!” Axel snarled, whirling on Fiona. “You weren’t supposed to hit her!”

“Me?” Fiona’s shrill voice cut through the air. “It was your idea to shoot him to begin with! We had her, we-we could have just left!”

I blocked them out, my world shrinking to the figure laying in front of me. My hands shook uncontrollably as I reached for her and gently rolled her onto her back, terrified that her light had already gone out.

“Audrey,” I whispered, barely able to get her name past the tightness in my throat. “Audrey…”

Her eyes fluttered open, just a fraction, and for a split second, hope surged through me, a wild, desperate thing. But then my

fell to the arrow embedded in her chest, its gleaming shaft a cruel reminder of reality.

“No, no, no…” I muttered, panic setting in as I fumbled with her shirt, trying to see the extent of the damage.

I yanked the fabric aside, bracing myself for the sight of torn flesh, of blood staining her skin.

But what I saw… I never expected it.

There was nothing.

No blood, no wound.

Her skin was smooth, unmarked, as if the arrow had never pierced her at all. I blinked, my brain struggling to comprehend what I was seeing.

The arrowhead was shattered, the silver fragments scattered, broken against her as if they had struck steel instead of flesh. Audrey’s eyes met mine, and to my astonishment, a small smile tugged at the corners of her lips. She winked up at me. Alive. She was alive. And lucid enough to wink.
