My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 100

Lila’s POV

“Is that Professor Enzo?” Becca asked, stepping beside me, and following my gaze to the window of an incredibly fancy restaurant.

My heart clenched in a tight knot, and I felt Val lowering her head in sorrow as we watched our mate on a date with another woman.

“Yes,” I said, my voice sounding incredibly far away.

Brianna gasped as she also saw what we were looking at.

“With Bethany Rochelle?!”

“They are interested in each other,” I said, my voice now sounding strained.

“We should get out of here and finish shopping. We didn’t get nearly enough clothes,” Bri said, trying to avert my attention.

She draped an arm through mine and began pulling me away, but I couldn’t peel my eyes away from the scene in front of me.

This was too painful; it felt like someone had punched me straight in the gut.

“Are you okay, Lila?” Becca asked with a timid frown.

That’s right; she doesn’t know that Enzo is my mate.

“Yeah,” I said to her, but I knew she didn’t believe me.

They both stared at me for a moment longer before Bri pulled me even harder.

“Come on,” she whispered for only my ears. “You don’t need to see this.”

I wasn’t sure I had the heart to continue this shopping spree. Every time I blinked; I would see Enzo with Bethany. It just hurt too much.

Val was in such agony that I didn’t think she would be able to stay in control. Her heart was so broken and because of that, my heart was broken too. Even if I didn’t want Enzo as a mate, the mate bond was too real to ignore.

I was drawn to him whether I wanted to be or not. Val was drawn to his wolf.

I couldn’t explain this feeling other than sorrow.

We left the restaurant and went to another boutique. This one was filled with elegant gowns. I wasn’t sure there was anything in this store that would be fit for my trip, but both of my friends were incredibly eager to check it out.

Brianna picked out a gorgeous pink gown that she insisted I try on.

I have to admit, the gown made me feel like a princess.

I stared myself over in the mirror with a frown; the gown wrapped around my body so elegantly and pushed up my breasts to make them appear much bigger. It expanded in silky fabrics around my waist and fell naturally around my feet.

The dress brought out the blonde in my hair as I let it out of its usual ponytail and watched as it flowed evenly around my body.

“You look beautiful!” Brianna cooed as I stepped out of the dressing room.

“Oh, my goddess. That dress was made for you!” Becca agreed.

Even with their kind compliments, I found it difficult to smile knowing that Enzo was with someone else. But I tried my best to force a smile; a smile that Bri knew right away was fake.

“I don’t know when I’ll ever wear this dress,” I admitted; though, I liked it very much.

“It doesn’t matter,” Becca said with a shrug. “You’ll have it just in case.”

Once we were done in this boutique, I insisted that we went home. I didn’t have it in me to continue this shopping spree and besides, I had enough clothes.

“But we were having so much fun,” Becca said with a frown. “Something changed when you saw Professor Enzo. Are you sure you’re, okay?”

I opened my mouth to respond, but Bri beat me to it.

“She said she’s fine,” Brianna said, wrapping an arm around me. “You should go back to your dorm room. I’ll walk with Lila.”

Becca frowned, staring between the two of us. I said nothing; I knew Bri just wanted to be alone with me.

“Are you sure?’ She asked, raising her brows at me.

“I’d like to hang out with Brianna alone,” I admitted. “It’s been a while since we had quality time together with just the two of us.”

Becca sighed, but she didn’t argue.

“Okay…” she said with uncertainly in her voice. “I’ll see you later.”

Soon, it was just Brianna and me.

“I can’t believe your mate is on a date with some other she-wolf,” Brianna hissed, folding her arms across her chest.
