My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 132

Enzo’s POV

“Are you ready to go?” Connie asked as she came out of the bathroom.

I turned to face her, still holding the pill bottle in my grip, she had yet to notice.

“What are these?” I asked, holding up the bottle for her viewing.

Her eyes adjusted to the bottle in her hands, and it was like the color had drained from her face. She opened her mouth to speak, but only air came out.

“I asked you a question,” I said through my teeth. “Connie, what are these?”

“I can explain…” she said, her voice coming out as nothing more than a whisper.

The tremble in her tone told me more information than her silence, but I wanted to hear her say it.

“I’m waiting.”

“Okay… before you get mad… I just wanted to say that I really loved you and I wanted you to see that you could possibly love me too… I thought maybe if I confused you then we could—”

“Confuse me? What are you talking about?” I asked, interrupting her rambling. “Just tell me what these are for.”

She stared at me for a moment longer, her entire body now trembling and her eyes visibly filling with tears.

“What did you do?” I asked her, a little louder this time.

“I might have drugged you tea the other night…” she finally said, tears falling from her eyes.

“Might have? Or you did?”

She was quiet for a moment longer and just as I was about to open my mouth to firmly tell her to answer my question, she said, “I did…”

I placed the pill bottle on the counter; looking at Connie, I felt nothing but disgust.

“You drugged me.”

It wasn’t a question.

A steady stream of tears continued to fall from her eyes and soak over her very pale freatures as she bit onto her bottom lip to keep herself from sobbing. But to no prevail.

“I’m so sorry…” she managed to sputter.

I was at a loss for words and it was taking everything I had to keep Max under control. Despite Connie being our oldest and best friend, Max wanted to tear her apart. I felt used and disgusted all over.

I also felt weak that I would allow something like this to happen under my own nose.

“You…” I went to say, but truth be told, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to say.

Had she drugged me and had her way with me?

This entire time I thought maybe I had drunk a little too much or maybe even consumed some of the drugs that Bethany tried to give me. But it was neither of those things; it’s been Connie this whole time.

“Nothing happened,” she finally said quickly. “I promise… we didn’t have sex that night.”

“I woke up naked,” I said, taking a step away from her. “You were naked too.”

She began to sob into her hands; I thought she was going to fall to the floor, but she remained on her feet.

“I set it up to look like we had slept together,” she finally admitted. “I wanted you to think that there could be something between us. I wanted to plant the idea in your head…”

“You did WHAT?”

I couldn’t help the fury that was boiling out of me; at that moment, all I was seeing was red.

“I’m so sorry!” She continued to cry. “I never meant for it to get this far. I thought I could convince you that your wolf wanted me… I thought….” her voice trailed off as she hiccupped.
