My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 38

Lila’s POV

Enzo and Connie demonstrated a move together and it made me want to vomit on the spot.

She had her back turned toward him and he wrapped an arm around her waist to spin her around to face him where he kept her in a headlock. She swung her leg around and did a spin to get free.

They were so close to one another, and they worked so effortlessly.

She was incredibly beautiful.

I wondered how long they have known each other.

“Lila?” Becca said from beside me; I realized everybody was already performing this move and I was standing in the center of the arena, staring at Connie with a grimace. “Are you ready to try the move?”

“Oh, yes,” I said, pulling my eyes away from Connie.

However, I could still hear her laughing loudly as she placed an arm on Enzo’s bicep; he was saying something to her that was funny. Though he wasn’t laughing with her, she didn’t seem to mind it.

She stood close to him; her perfect figure was only inches from him, and she continued to speak and laugh.

I felt my blood boiling; I clenched my fists, trying not to let it get the best of me.

“Lila?” Becca said again with a worried frown. “Are you okay?”

“Yes,” I lied.

I turned to Becca who turned her back to me; I wrapped an arm around her waist to get ready to spin her when the sounds of Connie’s laughter made its way over to me once again.

I closed my eyes, trying to center myself and tune out the sound, but to no prevail.

I grabbed Becca’s arm and spun her around quickly, not realizing how much force I used or that she was already dizzy. She nearly tripped on herself as I put her in a headlock.

She said something I wasn’t listening to because I was too busy listening to Connie flirting with Enzo.

I also wasn’t paying attention to the surge that was beginning to pulsate through my fingertips. Just as I went to grab her again before she could get out of the headlock, the electricity escaped my fingertips.

It happened so quickly, yet it felt like it was in slow motion.

Her entire body lit up as the bolts shot through her; her screams pierced the arena, shocking everybody including Enzo and Connie.

I gasped as I released Becca’s arm and watched her fall to the ground; nearly paralyzed from being electrocuted.

The electricity was still bouncing off my fingertips.

Everybody was backing away from me with large and frightened eyes.

There were fearful murmurs from those around me, but I couldn’t hear them. Everything had gone silent. I couldn’t pull my eyes away from Becca who remained lifeless on the ground.

What had I done?

“Oh, my goddess….” I finally found my voice, though it came out as an inaudible whisper.

Enzo rushed past me and kneeled in front of Becca, placing his fingers on her neck to check for a pulse.

“Someone, call the infirmary. We need to get her there as soon as possible,” Enzo ordered over his shoulder.

Connie was standing beside me when she pulled out her phone.

I can’t believe this happened.

Becca…

Enzo was lifting her off the ground and walking with her out of the arena just in time for the tears to spill from my eyes.

The electricity in my fingertips was gone.

Connie turned away to talk to the infirmary on the phone when I noticed the others were still staring at me.

Did they see the electricity too?

They had to have seen it.

“What happened?” Someone finally asked, finding their voice.
