My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 201

Lila’s POV

“I would understand if you don’t want to. But I wanted to give you the option,” Enzo went on to say, staring around my stunned face.

I could see why he would think it was something I wouldn’t want. I’ve been staring at him with my mouth hanging open for some time now, completely in shock. This was something I was not expecting.

He actually wanted me to go to his mother’s village and meet the other Volanas?!

“Of course, that’s something I’d want,” I said to him, resisting the urge to jump across the table and give him a big hug. “Are you sure it’s okay?”

He nods his head, giving me a look of love and admiration.

“It was her idea,” he told me with a grin. “I was reluctant at first because it’s still a rogue territory, regardless of the barrier. But you deserve to see others that are like you. I deprived you of that and I’d like to make it up to you.”

“When can we go?” I asked, hopeful and eager with large eyes.

He laughed.

“How about next week?” He asked; he began to eat his food.

I nodded with a large smile spreading across my face.

“I love you,” I breathed, making him look at me.

“I love you too, Lila,” he said with a grin. “More than anything.”

My heart was so full I thought it was going to explode; I didn’t know I could ever be this happy. Enzo was everything to me and Val; we loved our mates so much. Val was obsessing over Max just as I was obsessing over Enzo.

When we finished our meals, Enzo paid the bill and then we left. I was exhausted after spending most of the evening cooking and the morning at school. I couldn’t wait to sleep. I had to wake up early tomorrow to set up for the bake sale we are having on campus. Enzo wanted to come as well for support but he’s acting as if he needed to grab some things from his old office.

I wondered how he was going to pull that off, but I didn’t bother asking. I was just glad he was going to be there. I needed to be around him. Spending the entire week without him was torture to both me and my wolf. I didn’t want to spend another second away from him.

The next morning, I woke up to Enzo not being beside me. I frowned as I looked around the dimly lit bedroom. I could feel my mate in the packhouse, and I couldn’t help but pout. I felt cold when his arms weren’t around me.

I wore a thin nightgown, and my hair was thrown up in a messy bun before I fell asleep, so I had strands of hair loosely around my face. It was early enough that the sun hadn’t fully risen yet, so the moon was still casting its strong rays upon the Calypso pack and beaming into the window, lighting up the room only slightly.

I yawned, rubbing my eyes, as I slid out of bed. I went toward the bedroom door, but froze when I saw the doorknob turning, and in came my mate.

I felt a flood of relief upon seeing him and my smile only grew wider when I saw he was holding a platter of food.

“Oh, good. You’re awake,” he said in a low tone as if he was worried about waking someone up. He shut the door behind him and made his way over to the bed. “I thought I’d grab you some breakfast in bed.”

“You didn’t have to do this,” I chuckled, sitting down with him on the bed and crossing my legs Indian style.

“I wanted to,” he said with a twinkle of love in his eyes. He placed the tray of food in front of me and I couldn’t help but smile at him.

Breakfast consisted of eggs, bacon, toast with strawberry jam, a small bowl of chopped mixed fruit, and a cup of coffee made exactly how I like it with cream and sugar. There was also a pink flower in a crystal vase on the tray as well and it smelled beautiful.

“The flower is a nice touch,” I teased, beaming at him.

“I thought so too,” he said with a grin. “It was Dee’s idea.”

“She always did have a nice taste,” I smiled. “This is lovely. Thank you.”

“Once you are done eating, you can get dressed and we can load your car with all the baked goods. I’ll let you drive down to the school with Dee, and I’ll follow in my own car, so we don’t make anybody suspicious.”

I didn’t like the secrecy, but I understood why it needed to happen. I nodded in response and motioned for him to kiss me. He did so without hesitation; once his lips touched mine, it felt like I was transported into another universe. My entire body was on fire and my lips tingled, sending chills to course through my entire body.

When he pulled away, I had to keep myself from whimpering from the loss of contact by biting the inside of my cheek. He could see this on my face though and it made him chuckle.

“Aren’t you going to eat?” I asked, raising my brows once I noticed he didn’t have food in front of him.

“I ate downstairs with Dee,” he answered as he stole a piece of fruit from my bowl, making me laugh and shake my head at him. “I’m going to get dressed. You eat up.”
