My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

Enzo’s POV
“Something is wrong with our mate. She’s feeling an overwhelming sense of sadness. Her wolf is crying
out to me,” Max said with a strained tone.
I had anxiety boiling in my chest and I knew he was right. I didn’t stay around the packhouse for long. I
knew Lila was in the Calypso field with the local children, training them in combat.
As I reached the field, I saw exactly what was making Lila upset.
Or rather, I saw who was making her upset.
Bethany stood beside her with a smile on her face as she spoke words to Lila that looked wounding. Lila
lowered her gaze and for a moment, I thought she was going to cry.
I couldn’t explain the rage I was feeling at that moment. I clenched my fist and gritted my teeth. I knew I
had to remain calm; I couldn’t lose my cool in front of everybody.
Including these children.
The only thing I could think to do was approach them without making a sound. Lila, of course, could
sense my presence. She saw me before I reached them, but Bethany was completely oblivious.
I had told Bethany countless times to stay away from Lila and she refused to follow simple orders.
“What are you doing out here?” I asked, trying to keep my tone as even as possible.
Bethany finally noticed me, and she turned her attention to me.
“I’m sorry, darling. I was just bringing Lila and the children some cookies. I hope I didn’t make you
worried.”
I stared at her for a moment longer; who does she think she’s fooling?
She has got to be kidding me.
Lila looked like she wanted to say something, but I wanted to get Bethany as far away from her as
possible. There was no telling what kind of nonsense she was feeding Lila’s mind.

I would have to make it a point to speak with Lila alone later to clear up any misunderstandings. But
until then, I grabbed Bethany’s hand and pulled her away from the field.
Lila stared after us with a sad look on her face; a look that would be engraved in my mind for years to
come.

Lila’s POV
Evening came quickly; by the time the sun started to set, I had the children return to their homes as
promised.
I stayed away from the packhouse for a little longer though. The thought of returning to see Bethany
and Enzo gave me a sickened feeling in my stomach and Val wouldn’t be able to handle it either.
I decided to shift into my wolf form and sprint through the forest.
The rays of the moon lit up my path as I circled around the forest grounds. I would never get used to
being in this form. It felt so freeing, and I could sense everything for miles. All my senses were incredibly
heightened, and Val felt stronger than ever.
I realized quickly that I was channeling the light from the moon myself and basking in its warm rays as it
filled me with energy.
After a couple of hours, I decided it was probably time to return to the packhouse.
As I got there, I could smell the delicious food cooked in the kitchen. My stomach was growling loudly. I
hadn’t eaten since this morning, and I was excited to see what Dee had cooked.
I wasn’t surprised to see Bethany in the kitchen with her though. They were both laughing and dancing
around the kitchen just as I had done with Dee on my first night here.
My heart ached in my chest as I watched the two of them get along so well.
Dee stopped dancing when she saw me, and she gave me a kind smile.
“Oh, good, Lila, you’re here,” she breathed, rushing toward me. “We just finished cooking dinner. It’s
pork tenderloin. It was—”
“My idea,” Bethany said smoothly, interrupting Dee’s words. “It’s a family recipe. My mother used to
make it before she died.”
“I’m sure it’s delicious,” I said, forcing a smile of my own as I grabbed a plate of food.
“I’m going to bring a plate to Enzo,” she said, grabbing a plate for herself and then for Enzo before
leaving the kitchen.
I sat at the counter in my usual seat beside Dee and began eating the food.
I hated that it was delicious.
“I will be honest, I was surprised when Enzo brought her here,” Dee said as she ate next to me. “There
was no warning. Beta Ethan just brought her here and she made herself at home.”
“Enzo is a gentleman like that,” I said in return.
“He was always so against having a mate and dating. Honestly, I thought you would be the one to break
him out of that.”
I nearly spit my water out when she said those words.
“I’m his student,” I said quickly. “He could lose his job…”
“I thought maybe for a moment that you could have been his mate. You can’t help who your fated mate
is, and the school board would understand that.”
They might understand, but they wouldn’t allow him to continue teaching. But I didn’t want anyone to
