My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 216

Third Person POV

Two outcomes were told by a prophet. The rise of the Volana population or the fall of the Volana population.

If the strongest Volana in the world continues to exist as she does, there will be a rise. However, if she ceased to exist, then there would be a fall.

Jonathan had known who the strongest was and he’d kept his eyes on her for some time. Typically, he wouldn’t have cared for her existence; it’s not like Volana’s had ever done anything to him and he was the richest man in the wolf population, so he had everything he ever wanted.

He rather liked Selene and he didn’t mind Alpha Bastien that much. It bothered him that Bastien was the one in charge of the Alpha Committee though, but Alpha Jonathan owned basically everything, so he couldn’t be too angry.

He even owned the very school that both their daughters attended.

Jonathan had a prophet in his family; his great grandmother who had sadly passed many years ago. But she had told him of a prophet that the strongest Volana wolf would rise from the product of true love between a Volana and an Alpha. If this Volana exists, the rise of the Volana population will be among us. But if she were to perish, then there would be a fall.

As soon as Jonathan met Lila during one of the Alpha committee meetings, he knew that she was the one that his great-grandmother had spoken of.

His great-grandmother also told him that she was going to be the one who cured Sarah of this curse.

The only way to cure Sarah of this curse was for Sarah to become the strongest Volana.

Since meeting Lila, Alpha Jonathan has had his eyes on her for some time. He knows that he’s not the only one who has had their eyes on her though. However, if his great-grandmother’s prophet was true, then all other attempts would fail and only his would succeed.

He’s been playing the long game and he’s been patient. He’s had eyes and ears all over the place. He’s had men posing as rogues to gather information. He has allies in other packs, watching and waiting.

He even has an ally of a different species.

“Why did you let that stupid rogue do all of that?” Raymond, a lowly bear, and the father of Lila’s good friend Rachel, asked. “You should have just killed him when you had the chance.”

“I knew he ‘d fail,” Jonathan answered simply. “His attempt was stupid. Plus, he posed as a good distraction. I’ve stayed under the radar for some time now, waiting and watching. It’s almost time for me to make my move…”

“I hope you know what you are doing,” Raymond said, shaking his head. “Just don’t forget about our deal. I help you get that Lila girl, and you give me land and fortune.”

Jonathan only scoffed at his words; bears were so easily bought. Give them a little money and land and they will do whatever you want. Simple creatures.

“I never go back on my word,” Alpha Jonathan assured him.

That conversation happened last night, around the time that word had gotten back that Paul, that rogue that was once a part of the Calypso pack, had died from Lila’s hands.

He wasn’t surprised. He knew how tough she was even without her abilities; this was what made her such a dangerous weapon and the strongest Volana to ever exist. With whom her parents were, it made sense.

“Do I have to go to school today?” Sarah asked as she struggled to get out of bed.

Jonathan knew she was in a lot of pain, and she was feeling incredibly weak. The weekend was over, and Sarah couldn’t afford to miss any more school. Especially if she wants to win this upcoming election.

Losing was not an option, not in their household.

The only reason she wasn’t feeling well was because she kept using her goddess-given abilities. He told her to ease up on the use of that, but did she listen? Nope.

“If you had listened to me, you wouldn’t be feeling like this,” Jonathan said with limited emotions in his voice.

He was hard on his daughter, but he did love her very much.

He wouldn’t be doing what he was doing if he didn’t love her. She was the only thing he had that was truly his. Since his wife died during childbirth, her last wish for him was to do whatever it took to protect their daughter. He kept his word, and he wasn’t planning on letting this “gift” kill her.

It was his fault that this was happening to her in the first place. If he hadn’t pissed off that one witch many years ago, she wouldn’t have put a curse on his daughter’s gift. Now every time she used her abilities, she grew sicker.

There was no cure to this curse, but there were medications that made her feel a little better and stronger. But it won’t fix her, and it won’t break the curse that’s been placed on her.

There was only one way to break this curse, she had to become a Volana wolf, just as his great-grandmother had told him.

“How do I turn her into a Volana wolf?” He had asked his great-grandmother while she lay on her deathbed.

Her eyes were closed when she spoke, and her voice was raspy. He had to lean in close to hear her; at this point, Sarah was only 6 years old, and he was terrified he was going to lose her.
