My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 218

Lila’s POV

“Are you sure there’s nothing more I can do to help?” I asked; we were almost at the school, and I didn’t like leaving the Calypso pack with everything going on.

Enzo reached over and took hold of my hand.

“The only thing I want you to do is focus on school,” he said softly. “Your father and I have everything handled.”

I sighed, but I didn’t argue with him. I trusted Enzo and I trusted my father more than anything. I knew they would be okay. We finally reached the school and Enzo parked the car. It was late in the evening and I’m sure by now most students were in bed. Curfew was in place, and I was late getting back; if I got caught outside my dorm area past curfew, I would get in trouble.

“What are you thinking about?” Enzo asked, peering over at me.

“I might get in trouble for coming back so late,” I told him, trying to remain serious and not smile.

He reached over and touched my face gently. Then, he leaned closer and kissed me. This time, the kiss wasn’t sweet and simple like it had been in front of my father and Dee. This kiss was filled with hunger and lust; I could feel his desire for me, and it made my heart skip a beat. He ran his fingers through my hair, and I felt it growing loose until the strands were released from the ponytail holder and fell around my shoulders lazily.

I smiled into his kiss, feeling the softness of his tongue circle around mine and exploring me curiously. His teeth grazed at my bottom lip and then he captured it between his teeth, pulling on it possessively.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, and he pulled me onto his lap, allowing me to straddle him as he deepened the kiss. His hardness only stiffened and grew underneath me causing my entire body to grow hot with desire. I knew he would smell my desires because his eyes darkened and his kiss grew hungrier.

A low growl escaped from his throat, and I couldn’t help but smile.

He broke his kiss from my lips as he trailed his lips down the nape of my neck until he reached the sweet spot that he had marked. His mark wasn’t covered with makeup, and it hasn’t been all weakened. I forgot to cover it when we left the packhouse, but thankfully my hair was long enough to cover it.

I hated having to hide such an amazing mark, but it was for the best; at least for right now. Once I graduated, I’d be able to wear this mark loud and proud.

But until then, nobody could know that Enzo was my mate.

His kiss sent a warmth throughout my body and goosebumps formed on my flesh. I knew the longer we remained here, the more trouble I was going to get into. But I didn’t care right now; it felt like an eternity since I was touched by my mate like this, and I was going to soak in every second of it.

It wasn’t until a pair of bright lights shining through the window, nearly blinding me, that we froze.

I turned around to see a car coming in our direction and I hurried off Enzo with a racing heart.

Who was pulling into the school at this late hour?

Did they see Enzo and me?

“They won’t be able to see us; it’s too dark,” Enzo assured me, breathlessly.

I nodded, relieved to hear that.

But then my heart stopped when the door opened, and Sarah walked out of the car. Her father also walked out of the car, looking tall and prouder than ever.

Alpha Jonathan: the richest wolf to ever exist. He was born into a rich family initially, but his early investments in life doubled as he grew older. He was also a great businessman and practically owned everything, including this school.

My father might be in charge of the Alpha Committee, but Alpha Jonathan signed the paychecks.

“I’m going to go inside,” I said quickly, turning to Enzo and giving him a loving smile. “I want to talk to Sarah.”

He nodded and kissed me gently on the lips.

“I love you,” he said against my mouth; I smiled into him. I was never going to get used to hearing him say that.

“I love you,” I said in return just before shoving the door open and leaving his car.

I waited until he was driving away before I ran after Sarah and her father who was trailing behind her.

“Sarah!” I said, watching as she froze and turned in my direction.

Her eyes widened.

“What the hell are you doing out here?” She asked, folding her arms across her chest.

When I got closer, I noticed how pale Sarah looked. She was a lot thinner than she had been when I last saw her. Which was only a couple of days ago at the bake sale.

“I just got back too,” I answered, stopping in front of her.

“Sarah, is that any way to speak to a fellow classmate?” Alpha Jonathan asked, staring at his daughter with a look of disapproval.

Her face flushed.

“She’s the competition, Dad,” she muttered through her teeth.

“She’s an equal,” her father corrected, then he looked at me and I saw the smile that spread across his lips.

Her father always gave me an uneasy feeling and I never really knew why.

“It’s nice to see you again, Lila,” he said, kindly.
