My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 146

Lila’s POV

I was in complete shock that Leroy was offering me a real scholarship to this school. He had a look on his face that made me believe every word he was saying. It was the sincerity that tugged at my heart, and I knew at that moment that I needed to make a real decision.

“I’m not sure what to say…” I breathed, staring at him with wide eyes.

“Just tell me that you’ll think about it. I think this could seriously benefit your future and I would love for this academy to be a part of that.”

“That’s a very generous offer,” I said with a light chuckle.

I still wasn’t entirely sure what to say. I looked over at Enzo who remained on the phone; except his face shifted into something different. He didn’t look happy and now I was seriously wondering who he was talking to and why it was so important right now.

“Lila?” Leroy asked me after a moment of pause. “Should I make another enrollment form?”

My wolf was still in pain after our conversation with Enzo the other morning, but she still wanted to try to mend things with him. The thought of leaving him brought a world of pain to her and I couldn’t bear that happening.

She hated the thought of being away from him.

I looked back over at him to watch him continue his phone conversation and my heart ached painfully in my chest.

He wasn’t paying much attention to me, but I could feel his energy and I knew at that moment something was seriously wrong.

I needed to go to him and I think going to this school and being away from him for 2 years was something that Val couldn’t even fathom.

“I’m sorry, Leroy,” I said to him, giving him a polite smile. “I really appreciate this opportunity. I honestly do. But I think it’s best if I passed on it. I have way too much to do back in Elysium and I can’t leave it just yet. I hope you can understand.”

He was quiet for a moment longer before he nodded.

“Yes, I understand, Lila,” he said, bowing his head slightly in my direction. “But if you change your mind, please come speak to me.”

“I will,” I said with a faint smile.

He turned away and left, just as I turned away and went towards Alpha Enzo.

Enzo’s POV

The only thing I could think of was getting Lila out of there, that is until I received a phone call that I didn’t think I would ever receive. Especially while I was in a different part of the world.

My mother hated phone calls; mainly because they could be tracked, and my father’s men could find her. But as soon as I saw her name appear on my phone screen, I knew something serious must have happened.

I excused myself from Lila for only a moment so I could answer that call.

“Hello?” I said into the phone.

“Oh, thank goodness, Enzo. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to get a hold of you.”

“Mom? What’s going on?” I asked right away, stepping further away so Lila wouldn’t hear me.

Although it looked like Leroy was preoccupying her time.

What the hell was he talking to her about?

Didn’t he do enough damage?

Just as I felt Max’s rising anxiety, my mother started talking quickly.

“I’m sorry to bother you. But I’m getting a nasty feeling about something,” she started to say. She had my full attention at that moment. “I was at the airport earlier because Connie asked if I could come pick her up—”

“I’m aware,” I said quickly, interrupting her thoughts. It bothered me immensely that Connie was asking my mother for rides.
