My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 97

Lila’s POV

It was strange being here without Rachel. The dorm room seemed so big and empty. Most of her stuff was gone except for her purple and black bedding and a few minor accessories.

We were only going to be apart for a short time, but still, I missed her terribly. I was counting on her eye for fashion to help me pack for my trip to Monstro.

Monstro is a very tropical and beachy place, which is something I don’t have a lot of experience in. I have never been anywhere like that before. For most of my life, since I was only 3 years old, I’ve lived in Elysium.

Between Elysium and Higala was the farthest I’ve ever traveled throughout the werewolf kingdom.

Rachel was practically going to a whole new continent to partake in this detox program.

She was going through so much and my heart ached for her, but she was going to be incredibly happy when she heard Ryan’s voice.

I was still in shock that he was awake. But it was a good shock.

As I laid my head on my pillow, I felt my eyes growing even more heavy. It was only a matter of time before sleep took over and the rest of the world would fade to black.

…

The next morning.

I promised Becca I would study with her in the library. Finals were next week and with everything going on these past couple of weeks, I haven’t had a chance to study much. Between the fire at Ryan’s party and getting kidnapped, my head was a complete mess.

It was later in the afternoon when I went to the library to meet with her and I realized I hadn’t seen Enzo all day. The academy gave us the week off so we can study on our own time, so I wouldn’t have seen him in class.

But I wondered what he was up to.

We didn’t talk much since he saved me from being kidnapped and spent a lot of time at the hospital with me. Once they drained me of the starlight that was put into my body, Val was able to heal the rest of me fairly quickly.

Brody, on the other hand, was so injured that he had to remain in the hospital for an extra day or so.

At the time I was still a little weak and afraid of what using my powers would do, so I didn’t help him in the healing department, but I made a note to myself to visit him later this evening. I wanted to help him get out of the hospital as soon as possible so he didn’t fall behind on his studies.

“How are you feeling?” Becca asked as I sat down at the table across from her in the library.

I placed a few of my textbooks and notebook in front of me.

“A lot better,” I told her.

I wasn’t going to tell her that those rogues were still in my mind though. I managed to scare them away with my shadows, but they were still out there somewhere.

Cyrus was still out there somewhere.

He wanted my powers and he wanted to know how they worked. They would have done anything to figure out what gives me my abilities.

I shuddered at the very thought.

“Are you sure you’re able to study?” Becca asked, eyeing me carefully. “I know you’ve been through a lot these last few days. I couldn’t believe it when your mom reached out to me and told me everything. She said as your friend, I deserved to know. I wanted to come see you but she said the best thing I can do is stay here and wait for your return.”

“She’s right, there was no need for you to come to Elysium,” I assured her kindly. “I appreciate your offering though. The best place for you is right here. I hope you got a lot of studying done in the meantime.”

“I could hardly study with how worried I was about you,” she said with a frown. “I thought Elysium was supposed to be your safe place. Nobody would dare got to Elysium to hunt for Volana wolves.”

“Sssshhhh!” Someone from across the library shushed.
