My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

Lila’s POV
Having Enzo here at the Nova packhouse was not something I wanted. But I wasn’t going to argue with
my father about it. He was keen on having him here to thank him for helping me in the fire.
It’s not like I could tell my family the reason why I didn’t want him here. Now I just had to hope that
Enzo would decline the offer. I don’t think he wanted to see me either. I thought he would try to avoid
me at all costs.
My father went to call Enzo while my mother and I talked a little more in the kitchen.
“Did anybody get seriously hurt?” She asked. “I heard the host was in critical condition.”
“Ryan…” I told her sadly. “Rachel’s boyfriend. He was the host.”
She gasped, covering her mouth with her hands as she peered over at me.
“Rachel as in your roommate?” She asked, eyeing me carefully.
I nodded once.
“We don’t know if he’s going to be okay. But we are hoping for the best. She won’t leave the hospital
until she knows for sure. I stayed with her last night and Becca is staying with her for the next couple of
days. She told me I needed to rest too,” I explained.
My mother’s eyes showed such sadness that it tugged at my heart. She walked closer to me and
wrapped her arms around my body.
Val was instantly relaxed from the comfort of my mother. She liked my mother and enjoyed being
around her. She knew that my mother meant so much to me and being near her meant home.
“I’m so sorry,” she breathed. “I’m sorry you had to go through all this and I’m sorry your friends are
suffering.”
I wiped away the tears that strayed from my eyes and held her even tighter, not wanting to let go.
“I was so worried that I was going to lose them all, Mom,” I breathed between my tears. “I thought for
sure more would get worst injuries. But I managed to get some out…”

“Of course, you did,” she said in return. “You are incredibly brave, and I adore that about you. I hope

you know how much I love you.”
“I do,” I said to her. “And I love you.”
“Good news!” My father said, walking into the kitchen. “Enzo will be here in a few hours!”
My heart dropped into the pit of my stomach.
Enzo was coming?
I couldn’t ignore the excitement of my wolf; she was running laps in my mind’s eye at the sound of our
mate being on his way to us. I tried to calm her down, but there was no use. She was far too gone and
way too excited to hear the reason.
“That’s great,” I lied, forcing a smile. “I’m just going to go to my room and get a bit of rest before he
gets here,” I told them as I walked past the kitchen and toward the door.
I was feeling unwell and plus, I really was exhausted. But maybe I could try to avoid him, at least until
dinner.
I went up the stairs and to our apartment in the packhouse. Corinne and Flynn were sitting on the
couch when I walked through the living room. They were both frowning at me and that’s when I saw
they were watching the news.
They were talking about the fire that happened at Ryan’s parent’s house last night. I didn’t want to see
anything about it, but I couldn’t help but pause when I stared at the television.
“Many were injured and remain at the hospital. The host of the party, who will remain unnamed for the
time being, is currently being treated for critical injuries that may have caused his life. Pieces of the
stove broke off and plunged into his body, leaving him incredibly injured and fighting for his life.”
I almost vomited at hearing the sound of that. It wasn’t until that moment that I knew what had caused
him such injuries. He must have been near the oven when it exploded and then the silver parts of it
struck him.
Silver was incredibly lethal to werewolves; I was surprised that nobody else got hit with the shards.
I shuddered at the thought.
“Were you there?” Corinne asked, eyeing me carefully.
“No,” I lied, turning away. “But I had friends that were.”
“I told you she wasn’t stupid enough to sneak out of the academy to go to a house party,” Flynn said to
Corinne, shaking his head with a frown on his face.
Corinne rolled her eyes and turned away from me.
“She’s so lame,” she muttered, folding her arms across her chest. “She never does anything fun.”
While the two of them continued to gossip, I went into my room and slammed my door shut. I just
wanted to close my eyes and shut myself away from the world for a little while. I’ve missed my bed
terribly and I felt like I was wrapped in my own little cocoon.
I finally felt comfortable enough to fall asleep.
And I did fall asleep.
I didn’t wake up until Val got a whiff of Enzo from nearby. I was groggy when he arrived, but Val was
wide awake and going nuts due to his incredible smell.
I had to admit that it was practically mouth-watering.
My heart was beating so heavily in my chest that I could barely contain myself. I thought about Enzo
and his lips on me; the way he kissed me in the past left me in complete turmoil. I wasn’t sure why that
was all of a sudden in my mind, but I couldn’t stop thinking about it.
A smile tugged at my lips as I thought about his mouth trailing down the nape of my neck and nibbling
every corner he could get to. I could physically feel his fingers on my flesh, pulling down my clothing
until I was revealed to him fully.
The way he felt pressed against me and the way I felt his bulge against my pelvis was mind-blowing.
