My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 164

Lila’s POV

“I wish you didn’t have to go back so soon,” Bri pouted as she watched me pack my things. “I’m going to miss you.”

“At least I’m not going to be across the world,” I told her, giving her a small smile. “I’m only a phone call away.”

“I know,” she sighed, lying across my bed, and staring up at me sadly.

It’s been a few days since I returned home from Monstro. Becca and Brody had gone back to their own packs to get themselves ready for this semester as well.

Still no word on Rachel.

I haven’t heard from Enzo at all since his love confession, which only furthers my suspicions that something is up and he’s not telling me the entire truth.

I have texted and called him a couple of times, but he hasn’t been responding or answering. Part of me almost wants to go to his packhouse and find out what’s really going on.

This semester didn’t start until Monday, and it was Friday, so I would have time to go there. But I was assigned a new room that I needed to settle into and plus they were doing an orientation tonight that I couldn’t miss.

I could find some time to go this weekend.

“Lila, are you almost packed? You should be leaving soon,” my mother said, poking her head through the door.

“Almost ready,” I said in return.

She smiled at me before leaving and I looked back at Bri.

“You have your mate now. You’ll be fine,” I assured her.

She sighed and nodded.

“Speaking of mate, have you heard from yours?”

I frowned and shook my head.

“Sadly, no,” I answered. “I called him a couple of times, but he hasn’t answered. I was thinking of going to his packhouse this weekend at some point.”

“Are you going to tell him you love him back?”

“Well, I still feel like he’s not being completely honest with me, and I would like to speak with him before I decide anything. His plan has always been to reject me after graduation. I’d like to find out for certain if he changed his mind about that.”

Brianna went with me downstairs where my family was waiting for me to say goodbye. Aiden had my car ready for me and parked out front. He was quick to grab my things and bring them to the trunk of my car for me while I hugged my family.

“Call me once you get to school,” my mother breathed as she held me tighter.

“I will,” I promised.

“If you need anything, don’t hesitate to call us, or mindlink,” my father said, hugging me next.

I hugged the twins simultaneously.

“Be nice to your sister, Flynn,” I ordered him. “Keep your friend in check.”

“I can’t control Justin,” Flynn shrugged. “He’s a wild card.”

Corinne only rolled her eyes, and I shook my head at him.

After a final round of goodbyes, I got into my car and pulled away from the packhouse.

It felt good to be in the driver’s seat again and I truly missed my little car. It took about an hour to get back to Higala, but I didn’t go directly to the school. There was someone I needed to see first.

Someone other than Enzo.

…

The jailhouse wasn’t far from the school. Scott was sent to jail in Higala for vandalizing Cassidy-Ann’s art studio. She returned from the trip a few hours earlier so she could deal with the aftermath of the situation.

The vandalism happened about a month before we left for Monstro, and she was able to clean up and fix most of everything. My father has been investigating this crime the entire time we were in Monstro. It seemed that most of the security cameras were destroyed. Except for the one street camera that they were able to recover footage from.

Once my father saw that it was Scott who broke into the art gallery, he was quick to arrest him.

Now it’s up to Cassidy-Ann if she wants to pursue a lawsuit and from the sounds of it, she wanted to do just that.

I wanted to see Scott for myself and get the entire story from him. I already knew it had to have been Sarah that put him up to a stunt like this, but Enzo was right when he told me regardless of if Sarah put him up to it, it’s not like we’d be able to do anything about it. She wasn’t at the scene of the crime, so she couldn’t be charged with anything.
