My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 120

Lila’s POV

Out of all the times for my mother to call, it had to be right now?

I stared at the phone with a racing heart.

“Are you going to take it?” Enzo finally asked, putting the phone on mute so my mom couldn’t hear.

“Should I?” I asked, raising my gaze to meet his.

“You probably should. I don’t think you called her when we landed.”

Oh, my goddess.

Enzo was right; I completely forgot to call her, and we’d been there for hours. I grabbed the phone from him, scrambling out of bed. For a moment, I forgot that I was completely naked, and it wasn’t until Enzo’s eyes trailed downward that I remembered.

I grabbed my clothing off the ground and attempted to cover my body but to no prevail. He smirked at my attempt, which caused my face to redden.

Turning away from him, I quickly went into the bathroom and took my mother off mute.

“Hey, Mom,” I said, trying not to sound suspicious.

“You didn’t call me when you landed,” she immediately said. “You promised me that you would, and I was worried.”

“Sorry, I had a lot going on as soon as I got here. Also, you failed to tell me that Alpha Enzo would be joining me,” I said in return, trying to keep the annoyance out of my tone.

Not that I minded that Enzo was here; my wolf was certainly pleased.

“It was your father’s idea. You know how worried he gets,” she explained.

“I’m not a weak little girl. I can fight my own battles and take care of myself,” I said, sighing.

“Neither of us doubt that, Lila Bean. But with these recent attacks on Volana wolves and the fact that you have recently been kidnapped and targeted at the art gallery, we just want to make sure that you are safe. I couldn’t bare it if anything were to happen to you. You know we love you so much.”

“I know…” I said in return. “And I love you too. I just wish I wasn’t blindsided. You could have given me a heads-up.”

“We were worried you would refuse his company if we told you. This might be good for you both; it’ll give you a chance to get to know him. Who knows… you might like him.”

My face grew warm.

She had no idea that Enzo was my mate, and she certainly didn’t know that I just lost my virginity to him.

I couldn’t believe I had sex with Enzo.

He’s my professor.

I wondered if he regretted it yet.

“Just give him a chance,” my mother said after a breath of silence.

“Okay,” I agreed. “I wish you and Dad could be here,” I said, changing the subject. “It’s so beautiful. You would love it.”

“Maybe next summer we can go as a family,” she replied. “I’ve always wanted to go and I’m sure the twins would have fun.”

“That’s a great idea. I’m sure they would too.”

“I’ll let you enjoy the rest of your day. Call me tomorrow?”

“Yes, I’ll call tomorrow,” I assured her. “I love you.”

“I love you too,” she said just before the line disconnected.

I finally let out a sigh of relief; she didn’t suspect a thing.

As I looked into the mirror, I saw how red my face was.

I heard a knock on the door, and Enzo’s voice brought me back to the present moment.

“Your phone is ringing,” he said from outside the door.

At that moment, I remembered that I was currently on Enzo’s phone. I quickly finished dressing before leaving the bathroom and grabbed my phone from Enzo’s outstretched hand.

It was Cassidy-Ann.

She probably wanted to tell me what the plan was for the evening like she said she would.
