My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 150

Lila’s POV

“You want to do what?” Enzo asked, narrowing his eyes at me as I stood before him. We brought Connie back into her room and she was resting for the evening.

Enzo and I stood in the hallway, and he was staring down at me like I was a rodent.

“I want to plan the perfect date for Connie and Tyler,” I repeated the same sentence I said only moments ago.

“Connie doesn’t want to date him,” Enzo reminded me. “We can’t force her.”

“He’s her mate, Enzo,” I said in return. “Of course, she wants to go out with him.”

He looked at me for a long while and I felt my face growing incredibly hot as I realized what I had just said. I basically admitted that I wanted to go out with Enzo because Enzo was my mate. But that certainly wasn’t what I meant, despite my wolf wiggling with amusement.

“Look, I’ve known Connie my entire life. She will hate whatever we have planned for her,” he said, shaking his head. “It’s better if we just let it go. If this mate bond is genuine, they will be pulled together naturally.”

“Unless they reject one another,” I pointed out.

Neither of them was Alpha, which meant they could reject each other at any moment. My heart ached at the very thought. Mates were chosen to be together by the moon goddess. As much as I hated to admit it, she doesn’t make mistakes.

Her reasoning for pairing me with Enzo was something I would never understand though. I wish I could just ask her.

“That’s not our business,” Enzo said as he turned away. “I’m going to say good night to her and then we can head back.”

“How long is she going to be here for?” I asked.

“Her wolf is healing her fast. She’ll probably be here for another day or so,” he answered.

“Will she be staying with us?”

That’s been a question that’s been on my mind for a little while.

“I don’t see why she can’t return home as soon as she’s released from the hospital,” he answered.

That made me feel a little bit better that she wasn’t going to be hanging around, but it made me sad for Tyler. He seemed to really like her and wanted to give things a chance. But she wouldn’t give him the time of day and that made me really sad for him.

Maybe it was because I knew exactly how he felt. His mate was rejecting him in the same way that Enzo was rejecting me.

It was painful and almost unbearable. But there’s also that little thread of hope that’s being dangled in front of my wolf, keeping her from going into deep depressive hibernation.

….

I stayed awake almost all night. Even though Enzo didn’t want any part of creating the perfect date for Connie and Tyler, I still really wanted to set something up. I would never forgive myself if I didn’t at least try to get them together.

This could be Connie’s happily ever after and she could regret this for the rest of her life.

I, at least, knew that Tyler would regret this for the rest of his life.

The next morning, I went back to the hospital with Enzo, and I sought out Tyler while Enzo was talking to Connie.

Tyler was cleaning some rooms and making beds when I found him, and he looked surprised to see me.

“I didn’t think I’d see you again,” he admitted with a sheepish grin.

“I told you I wanted to set you up on a date,” I told him, raising my brows.

“I didn’t think you were serious. She doesn’t want to go out with me.”

“She might change her mind,” I said with a shrug.

I pulled out my phone and went into the Notepad app.

“What’s your perfect first date look like?”

He raised his brows and looked like he was about to protest, but then he stopped himself and really thought about it.

“Watching the sunset at the park with a nice picnic,” he said fondly. “I’d get her some flowers too and definitely wine.”

I frowned and looked at him for a short while.

“The wine and flowers are nice, but the rest seems kind of boring. A date with Connie will require a little bit more than that,” I told him.

From what I knew about Connie, she would like something more dazzling. But I didn’t want to make her sound materialistic.

“How about I just come up with the perfect date and I will let you know exactly what I plan? I promise it’ll knock her off her feet.”

“Okay,” he said with a timid frown. “I trust your judgment.”
