My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 180

Lila’s POV

I wore a white sundress with little yellow flowers around the bottom hem. The straps of the dress went around the back of my neck. It didn’t show off too much cleavage, but it made my figure very known with how tightly it hugged my body.

It was a gorgeous dress though and complimented the paleness of my skin. I allowed my hair a little bit of freedom. I had it half up and half down; the part that was down was lightly curled and flowing evenly down my back, landing just above my waist.

My hair was getting too long; I was thinking about cutting it soon, but Enzo said he liked my hair. He enjoys nuzzling his face in it and taking in my scent.

I only wore a little makeup because I wanted a more natural look.

My heart was thudding against my chest rapidly as nerves started to get the best of me. Just when I thought I was going to jump out of my skin, Enzo opened the door slightly and peered into his bedroom where I stood in front of his standing mirror.

“Wow, Lila,” he said once he got a look at me.

He stepped further into the room and shut the door behind him.

“You didn’t have to get this dressed up, but you are breathtaking,” he breathed, his eyes showing so much sincerity. My heart began to flutter at the compliment.

I enjoyed this side of Enzo; this side of Enzo felt comfortable… it felt safe.

“I just want to make a good impression,” I tell him as he comes closer. “I’m a little nervous.”

“Why are you nervous?” He asked with humor in his tone. I could tell he was fighting the urge to laugh.

“I want your mom to like me. I only get one first impression and I need to make it count,” I told him, peering up and into his eyes.

His eyes were soft, and I could get lost in them forever. I loved the way he looked at me. Val wiggled comfortably as she settled in with our mate. Val had told me at one point that she and Max often speak to one another without Enzo and me.

Both our wolves are happy that we are finally together and marked.

“My mom is going to love you,” he said, wrapping his arms around me. “We are just going to the hospital, and the doctors say she’s not even awake yet.”

“But she could wake up at any moment and when she does—”

“She’s going to be exhausted and barely see you. Her eyes are so bruised and swollen. Her wolf is old and not fast at healing,” Enzo told me.

He took hold of my hands and spun me around to face him.

“I love you and my mom is going to love you,” he said in a soft tone.

I smiled and kissed him gently on the cheek.

I allowed Enzo to guide me out of his room and down the stairs of the packhouse. Ethan stood at the doorway, staring between us.

“The car is all set. Want me to drive you?” He asked.

Enzo shook his head.

“I can drive,” he answered.

I smiled my thanks to Ethan before following Enzo outside towards his running car. It only took us a few minutes to get to the pack hospital.

Enzo knew exactly where he was going so, I just followed closely behind him. His mother was on the second story in a private section of the hospital. When we got to her room, I took a steady breath.
