My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

Lila’s POV
It’s been a few days since Enzo had given me that painting and I hadn’t said much of anything to him
about it.
The painting was absolutely beautiful and captured every detail perfectly. It even had the outlining of
my wolf shadowing behind me and we were surrounded with purple and blue flowers, bringing out the
coloring in my eyes.
Upon further investigation, I found out that one of my coworkers had painted it per request of Enzo.
This was only a copy of it; the real painting was going to be hung up at the art studio to replace the
painting that was destroyed.
The officers were still trying to figure out who vandalized the art studio, but unfortunately, the camera
system was entirely wiped clean.
My father was working alongside them and investigating things himself.
It was going to take them a while to figure out who it was, but in the meantime, I had to get ready for
finals.
I woke up early this morning so I could cram a little extra knowledge in my head before our first round
of finals.
“Are you ready for finals?” Becca asked as I joined her in the library bright and early.
“As ready as I’ll ever be,” I told her, but I wasn’t super confident; I hadn’t had a lot of time to study this
past week with everything going on.
But I knew I had to try the best I could if I wanted to move on to the next semester.
We began studying and we were soon joined by Brody.
“I’m nervous,” Brody admitted. “If I don’t do well, my pack won’t respect me when I become the Alpha.”
“You’re going to be great, Brody,” I assured him. “Just relax and do the best you can. Channel your inner
Alpha.”

He laughed and relaxed some.
Soon, it was time to get to class and start the finals.
My first round was incredibly easy. It was my math and writing classes; then I had Chemistry. Soon, was
my Shifter History course, which was a little challenging, but nothing I couldn’t handle.
By the end of those rounds, I was already exhausted. I wanted to pass out from the stress and

exhaustion, but I kept myself going. Thankfully, I only had one more round of finals left for the day. It
was the Shifting and Combat course with Professor Enzo.
Tomorrow was going to be my art finals and then by the end of the day, we will receive our scores.
Enzo was looking incredible as always with his shirt off across the arena with the rest of the class
standing nearby and waiting for orders.
Beside Enzo stood 3 very strong and incredibly talented fighters. All three of them specialized in
something different.
I recognized them from television, they competed in the Werewolf Olympics, and they were really good
at what they did. I learned a few of my own moves based on theirs and I was eager to fight them and
show them what I could do.
I couldn’t believe we were going to be fighting actual professionals.
“About time you showed up,” Sarah said as we joined the others. “He wouldn’t start until you got here.”
I felt my face redden at her words as I looked over at Enzo; he was eyeing me carefully, but he said
nothing.
We hadn’t spoken much since we last talked in the art room. I wasn’t really sure what to say to him.
“We could always thank him for the gift,” Val reminded me.
I knew she was right; I needed to say something to him about it.
But not here… not now.
Enzo turned to the Olympic champions and began talking to them in private. Then they all turned in our
direction and Enzo stepped forward.
“We are going to be fighting in three categories. Shifting combat, hand combat, and weaponry combat.
Hand combat is when you fight without weapons,” he explained. “You will be fighting each one in their
specialties and then the final battle will consist of fighting all three in any form you’d like. We will be
going one at a time and I’ll choose who goes first. The rest of us will be your audience. Once you knock
down your opponent, pin them with your foot for three seconds.”
Everyone stayed silent, but we nodded in understanding.
“During the final battle, as soon as the first two you knock down hit the ground, they will be out. The
third one will need to be pinned with your foot for 3 seconds. Manage to win all four battles, and you
will pass the exam.”
He turned to the opponents and said something to them; they nodded in understanding before Enzo
turned back to the rest of us.
“Sarah, you can go first.”
I was a little disappointed he didn’t choose me first, but it was fine.
I stepped back with the others as Sarah stepped forward.
She was confident, which was a good thing during this exam.
I watched as she did incredible work, fighting and shifting like she’s done this her entire life. She fought
so effortlessly, and she was able to pin each opponent with her foot quickly.
She finally got to the final battle and at first, I thought she was going to lose. They had the upper hand
for most of the fight; but in the end, she outsmarted them and ended up knocking each one down.
Everyone cheered excitedly for her.
One by one, Enzo chose other students to take their tests before me.
Soon, Sarah gasped and looked at me.
“Oh, I almost forgot! I have a gift for you!”
I frowned; I didn’t trust Sarah whatsoever, but she seemed genuinely excited about this. She grabbed
onto my arm, and I allowed her to pull me away from the others and toward the locker rooms.
She went to her locker and pulled out a large white box.
“What’s that?” I asked, uncertainty in my voice.
“Open it,” she laughed.
I opened the box and gasped when I saw the most gorgeous combat shoes I had ever seen. They were
white and pink; they were also bulky and perfect for all sorts of activities.
I rose my brows at her.
“These must have cost a fortune,” I said, eyeing her carefully.
“Pocket change,” she said with a shrug. “But it’s my token of apology for all the shit I did to you. I really
am sorry.”
“Really?” I asked, unsure if I believed her. After all, she was planning on running against me for the
leader of the student council, an organization that I created.
