My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 152

Lila’s POV

Her eyes were golden and glowing as I had never seen them before. It was her wolf.

For the first time since knowing Connie, I was actually frightened of her.

So much so, I took a step back.

The fury that circulated around her was evident and I knew she was about to explode at any moment. She was angry and she wasn’t going to back down until we faced her wrath. The paleness of her face went away and now it was just pure red. Her eyes glowed even brighter, and her fists clenched so tightly that her knuckles grew white.

I thought her nails were going to dig into the palms of her hands as she glared between Enzo and me.

“You did what?” She seethed through her teeth.

She was fighting back the impulse of her wolf. Her wolf should be happy that we made a date for her and her mate. But I couldn’t help but wonder if I had made a terrible mistake.

“I just wanted you to have a chance with your mate,” I told her, keeping my tone low for her ears only. “I don’t want you to have any regrets.”

“You didn’t do it for me, you rotten bitch. You did it for yourself because you wanted me to leave Enzo alone. This was for selfish reasons, and you can't convince me otherwise,” she spat.

“I know you are angry right now, but if you can just calm down and listen—”

“Don’t tell me to calm down!” She growled; the canines of her wolf only grew as more fury rose within her. “I specifically told you I didn’t want to date that male nurse. I’m going to reject him. I don’t want him.”

“Connie—” I tried to reason, but she growled loudly at me, nearly shifting into her wolf.

I staggered backward, fearful of what he might do. Thankfully, Enzo was beside me and I felt his protective aura around me.

“I can’t believe you…” Connie said, lowering her tone. Her voice cracked slightly, and I saw the pain in her eyes as she looked up at Enzo. “You went against my wishes and deliberately did something you knew I wouldn’t like. You’re supposed to be my best friend, Enzo…”

She lowered her gaze just as tears filled her eyes.

“I did this because I care, Connie,” Enzo said, stepping towards her. “After what you did to me, I shouldn’t even give you the time of day. But having a mate is something special and you found your mate Connie. You shouldn’t give that up because your pride won’t let you date a male nurse.”

“He’s not an Alpha…” Connie said through her teeth. “I need an Alpha.”

“No, you don’t,” I found myself saying, peering at Connie with compassion in my eyes. “You don’t need an Alpha, Connie. You can be perfectly happy with an—”

“An Omega?” Connie spat. “He’s an Omega. There’s no way I’d be able to bring him around my friends or my…” her voice trailed off and I felt Enzo going still beside me.

I looked at him, confused, for a moment.

“Your what?” I urged, but they both remained silent, staring at one another.

I felt uncomfortable for a moment before Enzo finally spoke.

“When did they contact you?”

“Last year,” Connie answered, keeping her eye on Connie.

“Who?” I asked, staring between the two of them. “What are you both talking about?”

“My parents…” Connie muttered, turning away from us, and going towards the couch. I stood my ground, dumbfounded by what she had just said.

I don’t know much about Connie or her family, but I assumed she was in some kind of contact with them. I mean, they were her parents after all.

“You don’t talk to them regularly?” I decided to ask as Connie took a seat.

“Not all of us grew up in a loving household,” she muttered, shaking her head at me. “My parents are greedy, and they’ve always only wanted one thing, power.”

“I’m so sorry; I had no idea.”
