My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 214

Lila’s POV

“Starcove?” I asked as we made our way out of the tunnels to join my parents above the ground.

“It’s a place that isn’t very welcoming to wolves,” Enzo said, his tone going dark as he got lost in thought. “It’s a population of witches and humans.”

My eyes widened.

“Why would Hazel be there?” I asked.

“She was taken there; I’m assuming by the Ravenclaw Coven Master.”

“Coven Master?” I asked, swallowing the large lump that formed in my throat.

“Her name is Jasmine. I’ve never personally met her, but I’ve certainly heard of her. She’s the most powerful dark witch to ever exist.”

A chill crossed my entire body and I shuddered at the thought of someone being that evil and that powerful. I didn’t like the idea of it and I didn’t like the idea of Hazel being brought there. Most importantly, if this Starcove place didn’t welcome wolves, then how were we going to get her back?

Enzo grabbed onto my hand, holding it firmly in his as we made our way out of the brick safehouse and into the open outdoors. I could see the light haze of the shield surrounding the entire village. At least what was left of the village; it didn’t seem as if there was a lot left.

My heart tugged painfully in my chest; how many times were they going to have to rebuild this village? I was sick to my stomach just thinking about it.

I could smell the copper scent of blood seeping into the forest ground around me and knew it belonged to the many dead bodies that had fallen in the battle. There were a lot of injured men and women who stayed to fight against the rogue attack. There were also a lot that were dead.

My parents stood with one another with worried expressions on their faces and it was clear they were in the middle of a deep conversation.

“Aiden, Donovan, and a few other warriors are already on their way to meet up with your Beta and warriors at Starcove,” my father said to Enzo as soon as we approached.

“We should get there too then,” Enzo said to him in return; my father nodded too.

“I need to stay here and keep this village shielded and protected,” my mother said. “I’m sure they could use some healing as well.”

“There are injured wolves in the tunnels of the safe house,” I told her.

“My mother can handle those,” Enzo said, looking at my mother with serenity. “Focus on the ones that are above ground. They need help more than anything. Find any survivors.”

It was weird that he was barking orders to my mother, but it didn’t seem to faze her; she nodded to him and went to do just that.

“I’m coming with you to Starcove,” I said before he could start barking orders at me.

“It’s too dangerous Lila and you were so weak only moments ago,” Enzo argued.

I shook my head, staring up at him with narrowed eyes.

“I’m fine now. Being around my mother rejuvenated some of my powers. I can probably shift now too honestly. I feel fine. You need protection if you are going to a place like Starcove.”

He opened his mouth to argue again, but to my surprise, it was my father that spoke.

“She’s right,” he said quickly. “We do need extra protection if we going to witches’ territory. Jazzy is no joke.”

“Jazzy?” I asked, raising my brows.

“Jasmine. She goes by Jazzy,” my father explained. “We don’t have a lot of time to waste. We should go now.”

I nodded and hid behind Enzo so I could strip off my clothing and shift into my wolf form. It felt good to finally be able to shift again; I’m not sure why I was suddenly feeling strong and powerful again, but I wasn’t going to complain. Especially when Val came to life and howled into the night sky.

“It’ feels so good to be free again!” She cooed as the cold air hit her soft white fur.

My father and Enzo exchanged proud looks before shifting into their own wolves as well, joining me in the howl session.

“There’s no time to waste,” I announced. “Let’s get to Starcove!”

Third Person POV

“Jazzy! Why are you doing this?? What is it that you want??” Hazel cried as she struggled against the binding placed on her to shield her magic.

Blood dripped off her face from her recent building and she was fading in and out of consciousness. Jazzy had pumped her with so much wolfsbane, that she was amazed that her darling sister was still functioning enough to form words.

“I want what I’ve always wanted,” Jazzy said, narrowing her icy emerald ice at Hazel. “I want to wipe the entire Volana race off this earth and I’ll stop at nothing until I get just that.”
