My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 84

Enzo’s POV

“Was it the same men who attacked you before?” I asked, trying to get my mother to calm down a moment to talk to me.

“Yes, I believe so,’ she said, shaking her head with dismay written all over her face. “I need to heal everybody…”

“You don’t have your abilities anymore,” I said. “But I know someone who can help.”

My first thought was to talk to Lila and see if she could get down here, but then I thought against it. It would probably be better if I didn’t involve her.

Instead, I decided to talk to Bastien instead.

“Enzo?” Bastien said into the phone.

It was very late, so he was most likely in bed at that point. I knew Lila was probably sleeping as well so I didn’t need to worry about her hearing this conversation.

“I need a favor…” Enzo began into the phone.

After explaining the entire situation and giving Bastien his location, all he could do was wait.

He went around and tried to place the injured together and out of harm’s way. His mother was shaking as she attempted to heal those around her, but she had none of her abilities left. She was mentally and physically drained. She had some bruises on her skin from the abuse of those awful men who wished to cause her harm.

Volana’s weren’t safe in this world. His mother and Lila weren’t safe in this world. Regardless of what he does to fix it, they aren’t going to be safe until every last one of his father’s men were gone from this planet.

It only took about 20 minutes for Bastien to arrive; surprisingly, he brought Selene with him.

She had large, worried eyes as she stepped into the rogue town but once she saw my mother and others, she gasped in shock, covering her mouth with her hands as she took them all in.

“They’re all Volana’s…?” She whispered, staring up at Bastien who had a mournful eye.

“Yes,” I answered for them all. “At least, they used to be. They took a poison that took away their Volana abilities. That way they could blend in and be normal. But it didn’t work…. my father’s men still know about them and still want to hurt them.”

“Oh, my goddess…” Selene breathed. “I knew it was bad… but I had no idea to what extent.”

“They’ve been hiding here this whole time?” Bastien asked, shooting his eyes in my direction. “How could you not tell me about this? They don’t belong in rogue territory.”

“It’s our home…” my mother said stepping forward. “We’ve lived here for a long time after I left Blaise with my baby boy, Enzo. We created a home here and met others just like us. Others were hiding because of their fear of what Blaise might do. Now that he’s gone… his men have gone wild and are harming any Volanas they get a whiff of.”

“We knew his men were still out there, hunting for our kind,” Selene said, stepping toward my mother. “But we had no idea that other Volanas have been in hiding because of it. We didn’t know things were this bad. We hardly ever see Blaise’s men.”

“That’s because they won’t go to Elysium,” I explained. “They have a fear of you and Bastien because you were able to defeat my father with ease. So, they refuse to go anywhere near you. However, they’ve been watching me for a long time now. Waiting for me to fuck up; they use my mother as a punching bag because they know they can get to me that way. I won’t stand for something like that again.”

“You’re wanting to protect them? The Volana wolves?” Selene asked, curiosity piquing her tone.

I nodded once.

“Yes,” I answered. “That’s my goal in life. To climb my way to the top so I can protect all Volana wolves. I want to protect those like my mother and—”

My voice trailed off. I was about to say “Lila” but stopped myself quickly.
