My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 205

Lila’s POV

“Get a life, Sarah,” Rachel seethed, stepping beside me. “You can buy all the votes you want, but you’ll still lose.”

I stood frozen as the girls continued to laugh; I felt my face warming, but I wasn’t going to let them get the best of me.

I forced myself to laugh.

“I’ve been meaning to ask, Sarah… how’s Scott? Haven’t seen him since you left him rotting in jail. Heard he’s back at school,” I said coolly, turning away from her. “I’m sure I could count on his vote.”

I knew she was glaring at me, but I couldn’t care less. I walked toward Enzo having a conversation with Ethan, both looked very serious. I felt a knot forming in my stomach; I knew Enzo went to speak with Dr. Todrick before this and I wondered if they were talking about the protein shake.

What did they find in it?

I wanted to ask but now was not the time.

I went toward Dee who continued selling baked goods to a line of students. We were getting busier; there wasn’t any time to waste.

The bake sale went on for a while, and soon, Headmaster Prescott arrived.

“Lila, what a beautiful setup you have here,” she said with a warm smile. “I’m impressed.”

“Thank you, headmaster,” I said, returning her smile. “I can’t take all the credit. I’ve had a lot of help.”

I gestured for my friends who were working hard.

“I see that,” she said with a fond smile. “I’m glad you have their support.”

I smiled in return; I was still a bit hurt that she permitted Sarah to have an ice cream truck during my bake sale, but I decided not to say anything.

“Here, try one of my scones,” I said, handing her a scone I wrapped in a napkin. “It’s on me.”

“How thoughtful,” she beamed. “Thank you.”

“Of course,” I replied.

“How are the profits?” She asked, curiously, glancing at Becca who was given all the jars of money. I put her in charge of the profits because she was good at math and enjoyed accounting.

“We almost made our goal,” she announced proudly.

“We have about an hour left of the bake sale,” I said to Headmaster Prescott. “I’m sure we will make more than our goal by the time it’s over.”

“That’s impressive,” Prescott said proudly. “Keep up the good work!”

“Thank you, Headmaster,” I said, bowing my head slightly at her.

“I’ll leave you to it,” she said, nodding to me as she turned away. She walked toward Enzo and paused. “Don’t forget what we talked about, Alpha. Please think about it. I’m willing to offer you more.”

Val grew angry and a growl emerged from my throat; thankfully, nobody heard it. But Enzo met my eyes, feeling the tension of my wolf.

What the hell was she talking to my mate about?

I had to bite my tongue before saying something I’d regret.

The bake sale ended within the hour, and we sold everything. We made way more than our goal!

The warriors and Ethan stayed to help clean with Dee.

Sarah left with her ice cream truck just as Prescott arrived. She probably didn’t want the headmaster to know she was buying votes.

Once everything was cleaned, I said goodbye to my friends, hugging each of them. When I got to Brody, who had his arms open and ready for me to step into them, I heard a low and angry growl coming from Enzo’s throat, making me freeze.

Brody’s face paled when he looked at Enzo and his arms instantly dropped. He was the only one who knew about Enzo and me so I knew he would understand.
