My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 48

Enzo’s POV

“Go back there and take what is ours!!” Max roared, fury boiling through him. He was desperate to have Lila as his and I wasn’t going to partake in such activities.

If I were to be caught, I could lose everything I had worked so hard for, and I wasn’t going to let that happen. I had big goals and dreams to fulfill in order to lock my future down and I wasn’t going to let a mate bond get in the way of that.

Plus, if I were to get too close to her, it’ll put her in danger. I’m always being watched and hunted by my father’s followers.

They nearly killed my mother.

I won’t let something like that happen to Lila too. ‘

Not while I’m alive.

I was careless and weak. I acted with my dick and not with my head.

I won’t let that happen again.

Though, I could still taste her sweet lips on mine and feel the softness of her skin pressed against me. It made me feel a way I had never felt before. However, I chose to ignore that feeling.

I returned to the dance because I had a job to do and I couldn’t just leave, but I made sure to avoid Lila for the rest of the night.

Which was easy because it seemed she had left with her friends.

Come to think of it… Brody was gone too.

…

I was the first to arrive, after Bastien, at the monthly Alpha committee meeting. Bastien had everything set up at each section of the table; mainly an agenda for what we are going to be discussing today.

“Enzo, I shouldn’t be surprised that you are early,” Bastien said as he motioned for a seat. “How is everything?”

“Good,” I answered. “Lila did a great job with the dance. It seemed everyone had a good time.”

“She chose a great Alpha for the head of security,” Bastien said with a head nod. “I appreciate you for keeping her and everyone safe.”

“Of course,” I said in return.

Before any more words were exchanged, more Alphas entered. They were already engrossed in small talk when they came into the room and took their seats.

“Help yourself to some coffee and donuts,” Bastien said, pointing to the counter across the room where he set up coffee and donut stations. “Once everyone is settled, we will get started.”

Bastien set up his laptop while he waited for everyone to take their seats.

Once everyone was seated, he began to speak.

“There are some concerns I wanted to bring up to everybody. There was an attack recently where a Volana wolf had gotten injured. We need to be wary of our surroundings and be on the lookout for anything suspicious. If we need to recruit more gammas in specific areas, please let me know and we can figure out a game plan to be sure your pack’s safety. Safety is the number one priority. I know from experience that Blaise’s followers are not messing around, and they will attack anything and anyone that’s different.”

Everyone was silent as they processed his words.

“In other news, the central bank will need a new bank manager so if anyone is up for the job, or if you know anyone up for the job, please visit the central bank and put in an application. I will be reviewing them all over the weekend and will decide on interviews on Monday.”

Alpha Bastien paused again as he glanced around the table and his eyes landed on Alpha Steven, the richest Alpha amongst them all.

Steven was an arrogant prick, and he always hated the fact that Bastien was in charge of the committee and not him. He wanted to be in control of everything and own everything, the committee was the one thing he couldn’t buy, and it drove him crazy.

“The Shifter Academy had recently created a new organization for students, known as the student committee. My daughter, Lila, will be in charge of that. They will be planning new events for students in the future,” Bastien said, still staring at Steven whose eyes had darkened.

“I didn’t approve of that,” Steven said through gritted teeth.

“You don’t need to approve it; the board already approved it.”
