My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 50

Lila’s POV

What did she just say?

The woman Enzo is going to marry?

But what about Connie?

I wanted to ask, but I thought against it.

The woman seemed so sure of her words, and I had no idea who she was. Though I had to admit, she kind of looked familiar. It was almost like she didn’t want anyone to see her face because it was covered with giant glasses, and she had a hood over her head.

I must have looked as dumbfounded as I felt because she stared me over carefully and then started to laugh.

My face instantly started to warm, and I felt embarrassed for a moment as I turned away and continued to the academic center.

“Truth be told, we have yet to meet. But I’m sure once he meets me, he won’t be able to resist,” she said casually.

A knot formed in the pit of my stomach and suddenly, I wasn’t feeling so well.

I wasn’t sure what to say in response.

“How do you know about Enzo if you’ve never met him?” I asked, trying not to look at her; I didn’t want her to see the sorrow on my face.

“I saw him in a magazine,” she answered. “Plus, my father is an Alpha, so he told me plenty about him.”

“I see,” I said, keeping my tone even.

We finally reached the arena, and I was hesitant before opening the door. I was about to introduce my mate to his future Luna.

My heart ached at the very thought.

I swallowed the lump that had formed in my throat and pushed the doors open.

My breath nearly got caught in my throat when I saw that Enzo was shirtless and fighting hard in the arena. He was alone and he looked incredible.

My heart was racing as it often did whenever I was around him and our moments outside the dance invaded my mind. We hadn’t really spoken since then; it was like he was pretending that moment never happened.

Not that I could blame him.

I wasn’t the only one who noticed how handsome Enzo was, Beth was by my side instantly and gawking at him.

I thought for a moment that she was going to start drooling.

“Oh, my goddess,” she breathed. “He’s even better looking in person.”

That was an understatement.

I felt a growl escaping my wolf as this woman gawked at our mate; Val was not happy about this, and I didn’t blame her.

Enzo noticed us soon enough and he frowned when he saw me standing awkwardly at the doorway with a woman he has never seen before.

He dropped his fighting stick and strolled over to us; I bit my lip to keep from making any sounds. But my goddess, he was so hot.

“What are you doing in here?” He asked, staring directly at me.

I couldn’t even form the words to say, but thankfully, I didn’t have to.

Beth spoke for me.

“I apologize, I asked if she could bring me to you,” Bethany said, holding out her hand for him to take. He stared at it for a moment and then back at her face.

“And you are?”

She chuckled.

“The woman you are destined to marry,” she cooed.

At that point, she removed her hood, and took her ponytail out, allowing her thick and gloriously shimmering blonde hair to fall around her shoulders and down her back.

Then, she started to take off her sunglasses.

I gasped loudly.

That’s why she looked so familiar!
