I Kissed My Professor And He Liked It novel Chapter 238

Chapter 238

Lila’s POV

I wasn’t going to lie; I was hurt. I was hurt at the fact that Enzo, the one who was supposed to be in my corner and have faith in me, was telling me I needed the help of gammas to keep me safe. I trained alongside gammas my entire life; I trained alongside my father.

There wasn’t anything a gamma could do that I couldn’t. Anyone of them could have gotten taken by Xander. He gave me something that made me pass out; it could have happened to any warrior. It doesn’t make me weaker than them. If Xander hadn’t been poisoning me slowly and then given me a large dosage of wolfsbane, then I would have been able to fight him with no problem.

I understood that Jazzy was the most powerful-dark witch to exist and that she was dangerous, but I doubted a gamma could protect me from her.

It wasn’t fair to me that this was what his conclusion was.

But I loved him so much and looking into his eyes at that moment, I felt our mate bond stronger than ever. My wolf was pulling me into his and I wanted so badly to wrap my arms around him and kiss him, despite knowing how risky that was in the middle of a school day. I knew he had a class soon and it wouldn’t be long before students began to pile in.

I, unfortunately, didn’t have his class today.

He looked as defeated as I felt and neither of us had any more words to speak. He reached his hand up to touch my face and I stood still, bracing for the very touch that I craved so much. It’s been torture not being able to feel him. I knew he felt the same way.

Just as his hand neared my cheek, I heard someone clearing their throat from behind us.

“Am I interrupting something?”

My entire body froze, and I turned to see Alpha Jonathan standing before us. My entire heart fell deep into my stomach as he stared between the two of us with a questioning look. He didn’t look angry, but he didn’t look particularly pleased as well.

“Alpha,” I said a little too quickly, bowing in respect.

Joseph bowed his head slightly, but not too much. He was an Alpha too and they were both part of the same committee. Just because Alpha Jonathan had a lot of money and owned a lot of businesses, including this school, it didn’t mean that he was above Enzo.

Technically, my father was above him considering he was the head of the Alpha Committee. But that was a detail Alpha Jonathan refused to acknowledge.

“I came here to speak with Alpha Enzo, but it seems he’s preoccupied. I can come back later and-

“I’m not busy,” Enzo said, sounding way calmer than I felt. “Lila was just leaving.”

I swallowed the lump in my throat and without looking back at Enzo I gave Jonathan a small smile and bowed again.

“I’ll let you talk,” I said, proud that my voice wasn’t shaking. I wasn’t sure why I felt so nervous around him; he just intimidated me so much. Maybe because he was Sarah’s father? Or because he owned this school? “It was nice seeing you,” I managed to say to him just as I walked past.

“You as well, Lila,” he said; I could feel him staring at the back of my head.

I walked out of the arena feeling more than embarrassed.

Enzo’s POV

“A little young for you, don’t you think, Enzo?” Jonathan asked just as soon as Lila walked out of the arena. “Also, she’s a student and-”

“I’m not sure what you’re talking about,” I said, stopping his flow of words. “We were just talking about her recent assignment when you walked in.”

“Is that so?” He asked, raising his brows with a bit of humor lingering in his eyes. “Then why was her face all red and your hand nearing her cheek?”

“She had something in her hair; I was simply getting it out for her,” I came up with, hoping he would buy this lie. The last thing I needed was for Alpha Jonathan to suspect anything was going on between Lila and me.

“I noticed at our recent Alpha meeting that you were a bit happier than you’ve been previously,” Jonathan said, narrowing his icy blue eyes at me. “Is there a reason behind that?”

“Because I got my job back,” I said, tilting my head at him.

It took a lot to keep my wolf under control; he made it painfully obvious that he didn’t like or trust Alpha Jonathan. I couldn’t blame him; I didn’t trust him either. “You mean the job you quit without a second thought?” Alpha Jonathan asked, raising his brows.
