My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 80

Enzo’s POV

“Today, I’ll be teaching you how to shift in the air,” I announced to the class of students. “It’s all in the legs. We kick off from the ground and then begin the shift right when the legs are being pushed off the ground.”

I demonstrated with ease, and I was met with applause.

“This is used mainly for sneak attacks. I want you to try and sneak attack your partners. Trade-off each round.”

Everyone went with their partners to a different section of the arena for some space. Lila stood in the distance, waiting for me because I’m her partner.

We hadn’t spoken since my confession at the art show, and I was hoping we wouldn’t have to talk about this again. It was a moment of weakness on my part, and it wasn’t something I was going to allow to happen again.

Connie was right the other day when she said I needed to stay away from Lila. It was for her own good.

But her tight yoga pants and a tank top that she wore, hugged her body and fit around her every curve so perfectly that I found it hard to resist her.

Plus, I promised I’d be her partner for the remainder of this semester because I’m the only one who could handle any power overload she may have.

“I’ll keep my back turned, you can attack me,” I said to her, turning my back toward her.

I could tell she was gazing at me and frowning, but I wasn’t going to give in to her wishes. I had to brush the thought of her out of my mind.

Before I could think anymore, I felt the weight of her wolf pushing me to the ground. It caught me off guard and I fell to the ground quickly.

I turned around to face her wolf and saw her pure white wolf snarling at me. She pressed her paws to my chest and kept me pinned. I felt the warmth of her wolf’s breath on my skin, causing goosebumps to form on my flesh.

I was so surprised by her that it took me a moment to register what had just happened.

Then, I saw the humor in her odd eyes as she shifted back into her human form.

She chuckled.

“Did I scare you?” She asked between a fit of giggles.

“No,” I said, shaking my head as I stood to my feet. “You just caught me off guard.”

“Oh, is that so?” She asked, rolling her eyes but the humor never left her face. “Then I guess we should do that again then.”

“I guess we should,” I said in return.

This time, I wasn’t going to let her catch me off guard. I rose one brow up at her and gave her a smirk as I turned my back toward her.

I counted each step she took; she was taking her time, tiptoeing around me almost. I could hear her light breathing and the chewing on her bottom lip as she contemplated her next move.

Soon, I sensed her leaping and shifting. I quickly turned my body to face her wolf just as she pushed me to the ground. I would be honest, I was trying to counterattack, but she was able to get to me first.

I didn’t fight her as I went down though. Her wolf was back to breathing heavily in my face. I saw the humor in her eyes just as she shifted back into her human form.

She was laughing.

“I got you again, Professor,” she laughed as she got off me.

I sat up, gazing up at her.

“It appears you did,” I said in return. “You are getting quite good.”

“I guess I have you to thank for that,” she said, a faint smile playing on her lips.

The class was almost over, and students were starting to get their things ready for leave for their next classes. Lila took her time collecting her own things and soon, it was only the two of us left in the arena.

I wondered if she had planned it this way.

“Can we talk for a minute?” Lila asked, stepping toward me as I grabbed my own belongings.
