My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 175

Enzo’s POV

My mother sat in the backseat with bruises and cuts occupying her face. Her hands and feet were bound together, making it impossible for her to move, despite her desperately trying. Her mouth was also covered in tape, so she couldn’t speak but I heard her screaming through the tape.

I saw fucking red.

I shifted without another thought, growling so loudly that the earth shook.

Ethan and my head gamma, Jack, were also shifted into their wolves; they were ready to attack on my command.

Paul slammed the door shut, blocking me from my mother.

I lunged toward Paul, ready to bare my teeth into his flesh and rip him apart, limb from limb. He remained unmoved, a hint of a smile playing at the corner of his lips.

It didn’t take me long to realize why.

Soon, a shooting pain hit my head and I was falling to the ground in mid-air. The shoulder of my wolf hit the hard ground and we howled out in pain as the feeling intensified on our heads. It felt like my brain was about to explode. Nausea came quickly after, and spots clouded my vision.

I managed to sneak a peek at the men around me and saw they were too wailing on the ground.

I saw Paul's shoes stepping in front of me and he knelt in front of me. I howled out as the pain grew worse, gritting my teeth as I glared up at the bastard.

Behind him stood a small-looking woman with white hair and eyes that looked avoid.

Telling from her aura, I could tell that she was a witch.

This pain was her doing.

I wanted to rip her throat out, but I was nearly paralyzed by the pain.

“Have you met my friend Cecilia… CC for short,” Paul said, his tone kept casual, which pissed me off immensely. “She’s quite good at what she does,” Paul chuckled as he stood to his feet.

He turned back to the car, the car they were keeping my mother inside and he opened the door. I got a glimpse of my mother with tears in her eyes. She saw me lying on the ground and I heard her muffled screams through the tape. She struggled against their hold, wanting to get to me.

Paul slid into the car beside her, forcing her further into the car. CC got in after him. She had released her hold on our brains just as the door of the car slammed shut.

My head still hurt, but I was able to perch myself up and try to steady myself.

“Where is that fucker!!” I growled, ignoring the shooting of my head.

“He’s gone,” Ethan said from beside me, he was rubbing his head, trying to recover from that pain. “They have a witch on their side.”

…

Lila’s POV

I stared after Enzo, curiously. Ethan had pulled him away so suddenly and my stomach tightened.

I knew something was wrong; I could feel it in my bones.

Part of being marked was being able to feel the emotions of the other mate if we were in the range of one another. I felt his anxieties and worry when Ethan whispered into his ear. It was a feeling that soon turned into a fury that bubbled in my stomach.

Someone was outside with them.

“We should get to our mate,” Val agreed with me. “Max feels angry.”

What could possibly be happening outside that could cause Enzo and his wolf to feel this much anger? It was a rage I had never felt before and yet it wasn’t my own. I didn’t know having a mate would feel so intense.

Just as I stood, pain shot through my body, making me buckle in my steps. My head was throbbing, and it felt like my brain was about to explode. The pain only got worse, and this time, I let out a whimper.

“Lila?” I heard my name, but it sounded distorted. “Oh, my goddess. Are you okay?”

I couldn’t respond, I couldn’t speak. But soon, a warmth washed over me, and the scent of my mate filled the air. The pain in my body began to lessen and I relaxed. His arms embraced me, wrapping me in his warm and soothing arms. I pressed my face into his chest and breathed him in, taking in his every scent.

“What happened?” Enzo asked.

“I don’t know,” I whispered to him. “I felt your emotions and I was going to come to check on you. Then I felt this shooting pain in my head.”

Enzo frowned and looked around my face.
