My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 102

Enzo’s POV

“What the hell did you do to her?!” Alpha John asked as I brought Bethany into their home.

I still had her cradled in my arms; she was a drunken mess and singing a song I didn’t recognize, along with laughing wildly at nothing in particular.

“She drank too much,” I answered, but I knew that wasn’t true.

She only had one glass of wine.

Something must have slipped into her drink. I took her up the stairs and into her room. Her father was trailing behind me, asking me a bunch of questions I was ignoring.

“She can hold her liquor! You did something to her!” He accused, anger clear in his eyes.

Max was at his limit; he was already annoyed that I chose to have dinner with her and not our mate, now we were being accused of something ridiculous like drugging her.

I placed her in her bed and put the blankets over her body. She was half asleep at that point, murmuring things that I also ignored.

“Get away from my daughter!” Alpha John hissed, stepping in front of me to shield Bethany.

“Gladly,” I muttered.

“If anything happens to her, it’ll be your head on the stake,” he threatened as I turned and left the bedroom.

I’ve had enough of this bullshit. I was at my limit, as was my wolf, and all I wanted was to return back to campus.

I got into my car and peeled away from Alpha John’s pack. Thankfully, his pack was inside Higala and near the school, so it didn’t take long to get back.

As soon as I parked the car and got out, Max was on his toes, sniffing the air hungrily.

“Mate…” he breathed.

He was right; it was the scent of a honeysuckle.

Lila’s scent.

I knew she went shopping this evening with her friends, but it was late, and she should have been back hours ago. She shouldn’t be outside right now.

The faculty housing was on the opposite side of the campus, but I wanted to walk by the dorms and see if she really was outside for whatever reason.

I wasn’t prepared for what I was about to see though.

Her scent grew stronger as we neared the dorms, so I knew for a fact that she was outside; I also sensed that she wasn’t alone.

Her emotions were high; I couldn’t tell from the mix what she was feeling at the moment. I could sense a little grief and sorrow, maybe some heartbreak. But I could also feel her being pleased and comfortable.

Whoever she was with, made her feel comfortable.

I soon saw who it was she was with.

It was Brody.

I watched as he leaned down and pressed his grimy lips against her cheek. Her face illuminated red as she smiled up at him.

I stood in shock as I felt my wolf nearly snapping; it was a struggle to keep him inside of me.

Soon, her eyes found mine and they widened.

Brody said something more to her before going inside the dorms.

I stood frozen, staring at her.

She had tears in her eyes, and I couldn’t tell if it was from beforehand, or current. But she stared back at him like a dear in headlights.

I turned away from her despite my wolf begging me to go to her and find out what was happening. She didn’t follow me; maybe it was a good thing she didn’t follow me. Whatever I had to say to her would have hurt her feelings.

I returned to my house in the faculty section of the school and Connie came out of the kitchen with a couple of teacups.

“How was your date?” She asked, walking over to the couch and placing the cups on the coffee table, motioning for him to sit with her.

“It wasn’t a date,” I muttered, feeling a headache brewing.

I sat down beside her and grabbed one of the teacups.

“Woah… Enzo. I was kidding. I know it wasn’t a date. What’s wrong with you?”

“Nothing,” I said, shaking my head, trying to dismiss the thought of everything that happened that evening.
