My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 91

Lila’s POV

I woke up groggily in a different bed than when I passed out in. I felt a stinging in my head, but it wasn’t anything I couldn’t manage.

I groaned miserably for a moment as I reached for my head and felt a tight bandage wrapped around it.

“Don’t move too much, Lila Bean,” I heard the familiar and comforting voice of my mother from beside me. “You’ve gone through the wringer and your wolf isn’t fully healed yet.”

I opened my eyes, wincing at the bright lighting of the room until my eyes adjusted and I was able to see that I was in a hospital. My mother stood at my bedside with worry clear in her eyes, but she also looked relieved to see that I was awake.

“Welcome back, sweetie,” she breathed, leaning down and kissing the top of my head.

“Mom?” I whispered hoarsely. “Where’s Brody?”

“He’s going to be okay. He sustained way worse injuries. But the doctors say he will make a full recovery soon enough.”

I felt an overwhelming sense of relief to hear that.

“Can I see him?”

She frowned and shook her head.

“You need to focus on your own recovery,” she told me.

“I’m a Volana. I’ll recover quickly.”

“But they gave you starlight; so, your recovery is being delayed a little. Once you are fully healed, you’ll be able to see him.”

I sighed and lay my head on my pillow. There was no use arguing with her and plus she was right; I wasn’t confident that I’d be able to get out of bed without falling over.

She gave me a soft smile and sat on my bedside.

“Alpha Enzo fought very hard to get you out of there. You’re lucky you mindlinked him before they took you.”

I felt my face warming and I knew it was as red as a cherry. I had no excuses to give her that moment, but she just chuckled and shook her head, staring down at her hands.

“Things have a funny way of working out, you know,” she said to me softly. “Take it from me when I say, timing is everything.”

I wasn’t sure what she meant, but somehow her words made me feel a little better.

“Where is Alpha Enzo now?” I asked, peering up at her.

“I think he went back to his pack this morning. You’ve been here since yesterday and he had some stuff he needed to take care of,” she told me.

I felt a stab of disappointment that he had left me here, but I tried not to show that on my face.

“Lila!” I heard the familiar coo of Bri as she ran into the hospital room with Rachel trailing in behind her.

Rachel had tears in her eyes and her bottom lip was quivering like she wanted to burst into tears.

“Oh, my goddess…” Rachel breathed as she came around the other side of my bed.

My mother gave them both kind smiles before standing to her feet.

“I’ll give you girls some space,” she said as she left the room.

Brianna wrapped her arms around me tightly and I couldn’t help but wince in pain.

“Sorry!” Bri said, feeling my wince as she released me. “I was just so worried about you. We all were! How are you feeling?”

“Lile I’ve been kidnapped and beaten,” I told her with a light chuckle. “But nothing I can’t recover from.”
