My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 7

Third Person POV

It was easy getting into Lila’s party when Scott’s dad was there. Scott and Sarah didn’t even need an excuse to attend. Actually, Scott’s father insisted that he showed up.

Sarah spent the better part of her morning picking wolfbane from her personal garden.

She turned the wolfbane into a powder and placed it in a small vile she wore around her neck, tucking it into her shirt; hidden and out of sight.

Sarah wanted to destroy any chances of Lila getting her wolf on her birthday. Even though Lila was skilled in combat, she would still be known as lesser without her wolf. Sarah would remain superior in her wolf form.

As they got there, Lila was mingling with her guests and laughing. It annoyed Sarah.

She took note that Lila had a wine glass that was placed on the table before her.

“So, what exactly are we doing here?” Scott asked; she hadn’t told him her plan, other than to crash the party.

“We are here to support the birthday girl,” Sarah said with a pleasant smile.

“Why? We broke up. Remember? I left her for you.”

That wasn’t how Sarah remembered it.

Technically Lila was the one who left him. Though, the details didn’t matter that much. Sarah didn’t really have that big of an attachment to him. But Scott’s father was an Alpha, which meant Sarah could only gain from her relationship with him.

It also didn’t hurt that he was handsome and looked good on her arm.

“You’re going to be an Alpha one day, Scott. Lila is Alpha Bastien’s daughter. We are here for the same reason the other Alphas are here. To make a good impression and get ahead. Now go mingle with some of the Alphas.”

He rolled his eyes as he disappeared through the crowd.

Lila has yet to notice either of them there. She took a small sip of her wine before placing it back down on the table, turning her back to speak with someone behind her.

Sarah took that moment as an opportunity to spike her drink. She unplugged the vile of wolfbane as she walked toward Lila’s table. Lila wasn’t paying attention, nor was the person she was talking to.

Without even touching the glass, Sarah managed to tap a few drops of the wolfbane dusting into the wine, watching it dissolve instantly.

A smile played on her lips as she continued walking.

Enzo’s POV

“Get this cup tested for fingerprints right away,” I heard Bastien ordering his Beta. “I also want it tested for DNA.”

His beta slipped on a pair of gloves before taking the cup.

“I need a list of every guest here,” Bastien ordered one of the workers. “Nobody leaves without their names written on the list.”

“We need to go upstairs,” my wolf, Max, urged. “Our mate is ill and she’s going to need us.”

“Alpha Bastien?” I said, ignoring Max’s words.

“Oh, hey Enzo. I’m sorry, I can’t really talk—”

“Was it poisoning?” I asked before he could finish speaking.

Bastien narrowed his eyes at me.

“I believe so, but we won’t know until the doctor looks at her. He should be here soon,” Bastien explained.

“What can I do to help?”

“You can make sure nobody gets into her room,” Bastien suggested. “I have guards outside, but I need her door watched as well.”

“I’ll head upstairs right now.”

“You are a good man, Enzo,” Bastien said, patting me on the back before walking away.
