My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

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.”
“This is all my fault…” Rachel breathed, tears streaming down her face.
“Rachel—”
“If I hadn’t had insisted, we go get treats at the store…” she said, interrupting me. “This wouldn’t have
happened. I’m so sorry, Lila…”
“It’s not your fault,” I said to her, reaching out to grab her hand. “We couldn’t have predicted this would
happen.”
“It was so late though. I should have known it wouldn’t be safe and—”
“I agreed to go,” I said, interrupting her. “This isn’t on you. Don’t beat yourself up over this. I’m okay…
honestly.”
“What was Brody even doing with you?” Rachel asked, shaking her head with confusion clear on her
face. “Why was he in Elysium?”
“He was walking by and saw the commotion. He came to help me but got captured as well,” I said,
grimacing at the memory. “His grandmother lives here, and he was visiting her for the weekend. I don’t
think he knew I was here, but maybe he did…” I said with a shrug.
“He could have been killed,” Brianna said with a frown. “I saw a glimpse of him earlier… he looks very
beaten.”
I thought back to when I watched them beat Brody and I winced at the very thought. It wasn’t
something I ever wanted to think about again.
“I’m sorry you had to go through so much…” Rachel breathed. “I’m sorry I ran…”
“If you hadn’t had ran back to the packhouse, my father wouldn’t have known something was wrong,” I
reminded her. “You saved me, Rachel. So, thank you.”
She thought about it for a moment and then a relieved smile spread across her lips as she nodded. I
think she finally believed me because she relaxed and sat on my bedside.
