My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 148

Lila’s POV

“Your mate?!” I asked, staring at her startled.

She was still ducking behind Enzo and from the looks of this male nurse across the hall, he was looking troubled by her avoidance of him. I might not have known him, but I felt for him. I knew what it was like to have a mate who completely ignored me and did not want anything to do with me.

Connie was making it very painfully obvious.

“Please, just get rid of him,” she begged.

However, by the time Enzo looked over at him to say something, he was already gone. My heart squeezed painfully for him. I knew he was probably hurting terribly.

“He’s gone,” Enzo assured her. “Connie, what is going on?”

Her brows furrowed together, and she lowered her gaze.

“I found my mate…” she muttered. “That’s all you need to know. Let’s get food. I’m starving.”

Third Person POV

The moment Enzo told Connie she needed to leave the resort and return to her pack, she knew just how serious he was. She had never seen him look that furious before and it was all her fault. She was incredibly stupid and hurt him in the worse way possible.

She betrayed his trust, and he was never going to forgive her.

But she still needed a ride home from the airport, so she called the only other person she knew who could come to get her with no questions asked.

Diana. Enzo’s mother.

She was practically Connie’s mother too, except not blood.

Before Connie left the resort, she attempted to book a flight home for that same day, but the only flight available was in a few days.

It was better than nothing; it would have to do for right now.

She booked the flight and changed her hotel to the one up the street for the next few days. In the meantime, she would have to lay low.

She spent the next couple of days at the hotel pool and ordering room service.

The day she was supposed to leave, the day of the flight, she picked up her things and called a cab to take her to the airport.

It arrived in record time; however, something terrible happened on her way to the airport.

Her wolf lost complete control.

They were on the highway going about 80 miles per hour with mild traffic when off in the distance she spotted the Monstro hospital overlooking the highway on one side and the Monstro mountains on the other.

It was one of the biggest hospitals she had ever seen and for some reason, she felt drawn to it.

Not as drawn to her wolf though.

“Stop the cab!!” Her wolf howled through her.

Connie had no idea what had gotten into her wolf, and she certainly didn’t like it.

Stop the cab right now!!” Her wolf continued to wail.

She desperately wanted to get to the hospital, but she couldn’t explain why.

“I can’t stop the cab right now,” the driver said, peering through the mirror to meet Connie’s eyes. “It’s too dangerous. I can get off at the next exit a few miles away.”

“By then it’ll be too late,” her wolf continued to cry. “I need to get to that hospital now!!”

“Are you injured?” The driver asked. He was completely unaware that he was talking to Connie’s wolf.

“I have to go. Please, stop the cab,” she tried to plead with him; tears forming in her eyes.

She was itching to get out of this cab and go straight to the hospital. This was something that Connie had never experienced before, and she didn’t specifically like it.

The cab driver still refused to listen to Connie, and this was infuriating. Out of desperation, Connie lunged over the seat until she was practically in the passenger seat, and then she grabbed the steering wheel.

The sounds of his screams pierced her ears, and she could feel his fear.

“What are you doing?!: He yelled frantically.
