My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 85

Lila’s POV

The woman sounded frantic like she was in danger. I could tell she was crying, and my first instinct was to get rid of Rachel.

“Go back to the packhouse,” I said quickly. “Wake my parents and tell them somebody is in trouble.”

“What about you?” Rachel asked.

The woman’s voice grew louder and this time she was screaming as she cried. I could hear the muffled sounds of nearby men as well and my heart sank further into my stomach.

“Just go,” I ordered. “There’s not enough time. I need to help her!”

I turned away just as Rachel started yelling something behind me, but I ran so fast that her voice became distorted until I couldn’t hear it at all.

I wasn’t worried about getting into a fight. But I worried about who I was getting into a fight with.

in the distance, I saw a woman running down the street. Her features were stained in tears and sweat as she continued to run. Her red fiery hair was practically illuminating in the moonlight, and I could feel how frightened she was.

She was running quickly and glancing behind her periodically.

That’s when I saw a few men chasing her down. They were large and they were all in their human forms but telling from their dark eyes and their strange auras, I knew they were wolves.

I also knew they were dangerous. I got a chill down my spine from looking at them and I wasn’t sure where that came from.

I shook the fear out of my body and ran toward them. At that point, the woman saw me and I saw a flood of relief across her face as she ran toward me.

“Please help me!” She cried. “They are trying to hurt me!!”

“She’s not even a Volana wolf,” I heard one of the men growling. “That bitch promised there’d be tons of them here.”

They were looking for Volana’s?

Nobody ever hunts for us in Elysium. They wouldn’t dare cross my father.

The woman continued to cry and to plead for them to stop chasing her. I managed to get to her just in time and step in front of her, blocking her view from the men’s.

“Get out of our way girly. This beef has nothing to do with—”

His voice trailed off as he took in a whiff of the air. His already dark eyes darkened even more, and a glimmer of a smile appeared on his narrow features. Then, he narrowed his eyes at me, and his aura darkened even more.

“I can smell Volana’s blood on you,” he breathed, hungrily. “She was right…”

“Who was right?’ I asked, narrowing my eyes at him. “Who sent you here?”

“Doesn’t matter,” he sneered. “What matters is she promised us a Volana, and now it seems we got one.”

“This girl isn’t a Volana.”

“No… but you are,” he said with a widening grin.

I took a step away from him, I was getting an unsettled feeling in the pit of my stomach. I knew a fight was going to happen.

“You smell even better than I thought you would,” another chuckled. “Must be all the magic.”

His chuckle was dark though, and it made my skin crawl.

“Go,” I ordered the woman who remained behind me. “Leave this place quickly.”

She was hesitant for a moment, but soon she ran away. The men just laughed as they neared me.

“Why don’t you be a good little wolf and come with us,” the leader of the group said with a large grin.

I kicked off the ground and did a backflip away from them. They looked surprised at first, but then I shifted into my wolf form and lunged toward them. I used the moves that Enzo had taught me in class.
