My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 226

Lila’s POV

“Well, Lila. You were given a large amount of wolfsbane but not enough where we need to drain you. I think with proper rest and water intake, it’ll take care of itself,” Dr. Ryan, one of the pack Doctors, said after he finished examining me.

He poked me with needles and gave me some antibiotics; he ran numerous scans and tests as well. By the time he finished, hours had gone by, and I was utterly exhausted. I wasn’t able to sleep much at the hospital because I was so worried about Enzo.

Enzo, Ethan, and Jake had gone to the academy to take care of the Xander problem. He had told me on our way to the hospital, that Hazel was able to uncover what was inside of the protein mix. It was Wolfsbane.

Which means Xander had been poisoning me this entire time; but for reasons I was unsure of. Until he returned, he told me to stay in the hospital to be monitored and get some rest. But rest wasn’t coming easy to me.

“Any word on Enzo yet?” I found myself asking Dr. Ryan as he drew a little more blood from me.

“Not yet. But I’m sure he’s fine,” Dr. Ryan said, glancing up at me. “He’s a strong wolf and can handle himself.”

“I don’t doubt that,” I said, shaking my head. “But I fear that Xander might have some extra power on his side.”

“Extra power?” Dr. Ryan asked, raising his brows.

How could I explain to this doctor that I had suspicions that Sarah, a mean girl at my school, can manipulate minds and that I think she’s helping Professor Xander for whatever reason?

I couldn’t.

I couldn’t explain that, and I wouldn’t, so I just sighed and shook my head sadly.

“He’s just powerful,” I said. “I don’t want Enzo getting hurt.”

“I’m sure he’ll be fine,” Dr. Ryan said gently. “I’m going to run another test with this blood. Do you need anything while I’m away? I can have the nurses bring you food.”

“I’m not that hungry,” I told him, wrapping my arms around my body like I was cold, but I wasn’t cold. Just a little uncomfortable and want Enzo more than anything. Wrapping my arms around my body was like I was holding myself together.

“I’ll have them bring you something anyway. It’ll be good if you ate, and Alpha will kill me if he returns, and you’ve lost weight.”

I smiled my thanks to him, though I knew it wasn’t going to reach my eyes.

I was soon left alone with only my thoughts to keep me company.

Enzo’s POV

It was early enough in the morning that the sun hadn’t woken yet, and early enough where no students were awake. Besides the vampires that is; but there didn’t seem to be that many at this school.

I was glad for that because I didn’t need an audience to witness what I was about to do. Ethan and Jake trailed behind me as we walked through the ghostly campus and toward the arena. There was a good chance he wasn’t even there; he could be at his faculty house. Or if he was anything like me, he’d get to the arena before dawn so he could train before he spends the day training others.

I was right; he was in the arena training with some practice dummies. He looked like a smug asshole and even when he saw me approaching, he didn’t stop.

“What can I do for you Al—”

Before he could finish his sentence, I swung at him and punched him square in the face. A trickle of blood left his lips as he glared at me.

“What the hell is wrong with you?!” Xander seethed. “You come into my arena—”

“This will never be your arena,” I growled, keeping my tone low and threatening. “After what you did, you’ll be lucky if you ever see the outside world again.”

“Are you threatening me, Alpha?” Xander asked with a little humor in his eyes.

I couldn’t help myself; I punched him again. I already called Tiffany Prescott to the arena, waking her from her sleep. I was expecting her to show up at any moment, but until then, I wanted to have a little fun with it.

“It’s a promise,” I growled.

“You can’t prove that I did shit,” he seethed through his teeth.

“Oh, really?” Ethan said, folding his arms across his chest. “So, if we go through your things we won’t find the same protein mix you gave Lila? The one that contains wolfbane?”

His face fell and I saw the color draining from his features.

“There’s a reason behind it.”

“As much as I’d love to hear it; I don’t give a shit what your reason is,” I said, a mocking laugh escaping my lips. “What I want to know is who the fuck you are working for and what they want.”

“I’m not working for anybody,” Xander said through his tightened jaw.

“I’d like to believe you, Xander… but frankly I don’t,” I growled. “Now, you are going to pay for what you did and if you don’t give up your leader, I will make you pay double.”

Before Xander could speak another word, Tiffany Prescott’s voice sounded through the arena.

“What is going on here?”

I turned to see her walking toward us; even this early in the morning, before sunrise, she managed to get fully dressed and appear as if she had just come out of a business meeting. I called her not long before arrived to have her meet us in the arena and it sounded as if I had just woken her.

She stopped in front of us, folding her arms across her chest and her attention was fully on me now.

“What is going on?” She asked again, tapping her foot impatiently.
