My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 104

Enzo’s POV

The waiter managed to get me the security footage from the night before and sure enough, as soon as I left the table, Bethany was sprinkling something into my wine glass. The waiter went over to the table and pretended to accidentally trip and spilled water on the table and on Bethany.

While she was distracted, he switched the glasses.

At least I was able to prove my innocence now, however, it was only one glass that she drugged. Which made me wonder what the hell happened to me last night.

“There’s no way we would have slept with Connie unless something happened,” Max agreed.

The waiter profusely apologized for not telling me sooner and I thanked him for his hard work.

I went back to the hospital with the footage, and once it was reviewed, all charges and accusations were dropped immediately.

“I have no words…” Alpha John said after his third time watching the video. “I am so sorry for not believing you, Alpha Enzo.”

“She’s your daughter and I understand that you care and worry about her. I don’t blame you for that,” I said to him, trying to sound compassionate considering the circumstances. “I’m sorry this happened.”

“I can’t believe she was trying to drug you. What was she thinking?”

“The only person who can answer that is currently in a coma,” I said, shaking my head with dismay written all over my face. “I’ll keep her in my thoughts until she wakes.”

“Thank you,” John said, lowering his gaze.

I glanced at the clock and realized just how late in the afternoon it was.

I was late.

Lila’s POV

I sat in the arena for a long while. It was 20 minutes past the time that Alpha Enzo said he was going to meet me there. He was supposed to help me practice for the finals next week, at least the finals for his class.

But he was late.

Or maybe he decided he didn’t want to show up.

He was probably too busy with Bethany.

Val was saddened by his lack of effort to help us. She was sickened by the thought that he was with another she-wolf when his mate was waiting for us.

“It just doesn’t make sense…” she said softly. “He’s supposed to want to be with us. We were chosen as mates by the moon goddess herself.”

“Maybe she made a mistake,” I suggested.

“The moon goddess doesn’t make mistakes, Lila. He loves us; I know he does. But I don’t understand why he’s choosing to be with Bethany over us.”

“That doesn’t sound like love, Val.”

At least not the kind of love I want to be around, I added silently to myself.

I practiced my stretching in the meantime; I was quite flexible, and this kind of exercise came easily to me. I was able to reach and grab my toes without bending my legs. It helped that I was wearing a tight, and stretchy, tank top and yoga pants.

Both of which helped me maintain my flexibility.

“Lila?” I heard my name from the entrance of the arena.

I glanced up to see Brody standing before me with a timid frown.

“Brody…” I said, standing to my feet. “What are you doing in here?”

“I was about to ask you the same thing,” Brody said, walking further into the arena. “Why are you in here alone?”

“I was supposed to meet with Professor Enzo,” I said, glancing over at the clock. “He was going to help me practice for finals next week. But he seems to be late.”
