I Kissed My Professor And He Liked It novel Chapter 342

Ella’s POV

The silence that fell between us was so loud. I tugged at my fingers nervously and kept my eyes on Headmaster Prescott who was leaning back in her seat with her hands crossed on her lap and peering at us like she expected one of us to start first. Except I wasn’t really sure what to say and telling from Colton beside me, I don’t think he knew what to say either.

Alpha Jonathan remained on his phone, typing away without a care in the world. He was engrossed with whoever was on the other end of his phone.

Headmaster Prescott cleared her throat, drawing my attention back to her.

“I wish you both would have come to me and tell me the truth,” she began to say, looking between the two of us. “Alpha Jonathan caught me up on most everything and I’d like to hear it from your mouths instead of a third party. So, whenever you are ready, you can tell me the truth.”

She looked at Colton when she said that last part.

He sat up straight and kept his eyes locked on hers.

“What you heard is true, Headmaster,” Colton began to say. “Ella is my mate.”

Headmaster Prescott clenched her jaw as she looked at me. I felt my entire body tense and I suddenly was feeling cold under the intensity of her gaze. I was waiting for the repercussions to come. For her to tell me that I needed to transfer schools or that Colton was fired.

“And you knew this since last year?” Headmaster Prescott asked; the question was directed toward me.

I managed to nod.

She sighed and shook her head with dismay written all over her face.

“I wish you would have told me. I understand that you can’t help who your mate is, but not disclosing it to the school board is against school policy. Keeping something like this from us is grounds for expulsion…” she glanced at Colton. “And termination.”

The entire world around me stopped moving; I suddenly couldn’t breathe.

This was it.

This was our punishment for lying and keeping secrets from the school board. It was all becoming a reality.

“We are going to wave it.”

My entire body froze.

That voice came from Alpha Jonathan who was now looking at us.

“Alpha?” Colton asked, frowning at Alpha Jonathan with suspicion in his eyes.

“I just finished writing an email to the council. I believe under the circumstances from the last few days, we can let a rule slide. It’s the least I can do considering you saved my daughter's life.”

My entire heart swelled in my chest as Alpha Jonathan stood to his feet. Colton stood to his feet too and reached his hand out to shake Alpha Jonathan’s.

Jonathan took it and the two of them shook firmly.

“Thank you, Alpha,” Colton said.

Alpha Jonathan nodded and then he glanced down at me.

“Should I tell Sarah to expect a visit from you at the hospital soon?”

I nodded happily.

“Yes, sir,” I said pleased.

Alpha Jonathan actually smiled and nodded as he glanced at Headmaster Prescott.

“Headmaster,” he said, nodding his head before he turned and left the office, leaving us staring after him in shock.

Colton took his seat again and we both turned back to Headmaster Prescott who was still staring between the two of us.

“That doesn’t mean things are going to return to the way they were,” she said, folding her arms across her chest. “You might not be in trouble, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to allow Professor Colton to continue teaching you, Ella.”

My eyes widened.

“What?”

“You’ll have to choose another course for the time being,” she further explained. “I can’t allow you two to be working in the same environment.”

I can’t take shifting and combat anymore?

I opened my mouth to say something, but Colton’s words stopped me.

“I agree, Headmaster. I wouldn’t want Ella in my class anymore anyway.”

It was as if I was stabbed in the heart. I stared at him with a gaping mouth, but he kept his eyes on Headmaster Prescott who only had her brows raised.

“I’m glad we agree, Professor,” she said, staring at him suspiciously.

He nodded.

“We are,” he said firmly. “The class is far too dangerous for her. Ella is pregnant and I’d prefer if she didn’t partake in any combat for a while.”

Headmaster Prescott’s eyes widened in shock as she turned her direction to me.

“Pregnant?” She asked me.
