My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 46

Lila’s POV

“Enjoy the dance!” Megan said at the door as a group of students made their way past her.

I stood outside, watching as students made their way into the dance. Everybody was dressed up so beautifully.

I wore a long pink dress with noodle straps that went around my neck and hugged my body perfectly. I went shopping a few days ago with Rachel. She wore a red and black dress; it was a lot shorter and ended just above her knees, revealing her killer legs.

My dark hair was curled with an iron, thanks to Rachel, and put back with a pink headband that matches my dress.

“I hope you have a good night,” I said to the few students who walked past me.

“Girl, you look hot!” Rachel said as she walked up to me; she looked absolutely stunning, and Ryan was on her arm. He looked great as well.

“As do you,” I said in return. “You look great too, Ryan,” I added with a smile.

“Thanks,” he said, nodding his head at me.

Rachel tightened her grip on him and led him to the doors.

“We’ll see you inside!” She shouted after me; I can’t help but chuckle at my friend.

There were a couple of security guards standing outside and it made me wonder if Enzo was there yet. I could sense him, but that could mean that he was anywhere on campus. I had yet to see him walk past me.

He was probably with Connie anyways. It wouldn’t surprise me if they showed up here together.

A knot had formed in my stomach at the very thought of it.

Val was also feeling uncomfortable. I shook the thought out of my mind and turned toward the door.

It was time to go inside and enjoy myself.

…

Enzo was standing off in the corner for most of the night and he was alone. There was no sign of Connie anywhere.

That pleased me, but I paid him no attention. I spent most of the night with Rachel and Ryan.

There were a few girls that I was friendly with that wanted to join us in a group dance. The music was loud, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. I worried that mayhem would break out because we were all wound up. Some were shifting into their inhuman forms. There were bears and wolves running around, and it was starting to get a little rough.

Thankfully, Enzo was on it and put an end to anything that could be potentially dangerous.

I was right to appoint him as head of the security team.

I was glad when I saw that a couple of members of the board also attended the dance and they seemed to be enjoying themselves as well.

“You’ve outdone yourself, Lila,” Mrs. Laurence said with a kind smile. “I would be happy if you could keep the committee going forward and we can plan out more events in the future.”

“That would be great. Thank you so much,” I said in return.

This morning I had a text from Cassidy-Ann as well saying that my first official day will be on Monday. She agreed to wait until after the dance so I could focus on this instead of that. But now that I was going to be running the student committee and working as her assistant, I was going to be incredibly busy.

I probably won’t have time to even think about Enzo.

Which will be good because I didn’t want to be thinking about him. It was only a matter of time before he rejected me and took Connie as his chosen mate anyway.
