My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 34

Enzo’s POV

Beta Ethan was right, their scent was strong in the forest that surrounded the Calypso pack. It reeked of outsiders, and I knew that scent all too well.

They were my father’s followers; at least a couple of them.

They had no reason to be lurking around my pack, they knew they weren’t welcome here. They knew I would tear them from limb to limb if I saw them with my own eyes.

But yet, their scent is fresh. They were staking out. Waiting.

But waiting for what?

A heard a twig cracking as I continued my search in the forest.

I’ve been out here for hours and haven’t come across a single wolf. It was becoming late, or early. It wouldn’t be long before the sun began to rise.

I’m not sure they would stick around in the broad daylight.

It was the night of the full moon so wolves were typically stronger when the moon shined down upon them. I certainly felt stronger.

Max wasn’t going to give up until we found those assholes though.

He was hot on their trail; sniffing and searching every corner of the forest.

We came across a dark cave; the cave reeked of outsider fur.

Max growled fiercely; his sharp teeth revealed in his long and narrow mouth. Fury was boiling through my body.

It was the same scent I smelled on my mother from after her attack.

This had to have been the hideout of these wolves.

“About time you showed up,” a dark voice emerged from the shadow region.

I lowered my head, getting ready to lunge if necessary.

“You have no right to be on our property,” I said through gritted teeth. “You know you are no longer welcome here.”

I recognized the wolf that came to greet me.

He was once a pack member but was told to leave once I came into power. He did the pack no favors and tried to turn everyone against outsiders such as rogues and Volana. I wasn’t going to have any part of that considering my mother was both.

“This was once my home if you don’t remember,” he sneered in return. “I have every right to be here like any other of your pack members.”

“You haven’t been a pack member in a long time, Bruce,” I said, trying to keep my temper under control. “Why have you returned?”

“Because I can sense my pack is in trouble. You’ve been bringing around a Volana wolf—”

“This isn’t your pack… it’s my pack. Whom I bring here isn’t any of your concern.”

“There are some wolves in this pack that I still consider family and vice versa. They tell me things, Enzo. They tell me that there is a young Volana that has been staying in your packhouse. They tell me they can sense her abilities and they fear for their lives. They asked me to run and take care of the problem.”

That didn’t make any sense. There was no way in hell anyone in his pack would reach out to someone who causes trouble. Someone of my father’s following.

Everybody in the pack seemed to love Lila. Even the children adore her.

Bruce had to have been lying.

“What are you really doing here?” I asked, curling my lips up in disgust.

“You don’t believe me? How else would I know to return here? Right when you bring that Volana around. How did you think I knew to be here, Enzo?”

I shouldn’t have been surprised; I knew bringing Lila around and being around her would put her in danger.
