My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

Lila’s POV
“Did my father put you up to this?” I asked, staring at him with such shock.
Val was instantly in a better mood as she cooed “I told you so.”
“He might have mentioned not wanting you to go on this trip alone,” Enzo admitted.
“I can’t believe he would do that,” I said, feeling a little hurt.
“He cares about you and was worried,” Enzo said with a shrug.
“You’re busy enough. He didn’t need to pull you away from your duties this summer to babysit me.”
“I was probably going to go anyways,” he said, sounding disinterested as he looked out the window.
“What? Why?” I asked, peering over at him with raised brows.
He sighed before looking back at me.
“Do you really have to ask?”
We stayed silent for a moment longer; staring at one another. I felt like the breath was taken right out
of my mouth and my heart was beating rapidly against my chest.
At one point, Enzo looked down at my lips and I thought that maybe he would kiss me. Part of me was
hoping that he would.
But he didn’t.
The stewardess returned with a can of Pepsi.
“Here’s your soda, mam,” she said, handing it to me.
I thanked her kindly while she went to check on everyone else.
Enzo rolled his eyes as I took a sip.

“Those aren’t good for you,” he muttered.
“They calm my nerves,” I told him in return.
He glanced at me sideways.
“Are you nervous?”
“Aren’t you?” I asked, raising my brows at him. “We are going to be incredibly high in the sky.”
“I’m sure the pilot knows what he’s doing,” Enzo said; I think he was trying to be reassuring, but his tone
wasn’t very comforting. Although Val was in sweet bliss listening to him.
“Maybe so… but still…” I said, staring down at my hands. “I’ve never flown before.”
“That doesn’t surprise me,” he muttered, looking out the window.
“What does that supposed to mean?” I asked, folding my arms across my chest, feeling slightly
offended.

“You don’t seem like the type to ever leave your hometown or your pack.”
“I went to Higala for school,” I pointed out.
“A whole hour,” he said, shaking his head.
I ignored that remark.
It’s been a while since I’ve been able to talk to him and I’ve been meaning to. But something always
seemed to happen whenever I tried to.
A tight knot formed in my stomach as I thought about Connie the other day when Enzo was in the
shower.
For Val’s sake, I didn’t want to think about such a thing anymore.
“I’ve been meaning to ask you…” I found myself saying slowly. “Why did you choose me to be your top
student?”
He was quiet for a moment.
“Because you earned it,” he answered. “You kicked ass in that final; even when you were shoeless.”
“Is that the only reason?”
He glared at me and the way he looked at me made me feel small at that moment.
“My personal feelings have nothing to do with how I grade my students.”
“That’s not what I meant—” I tried to say.
“Then, what exactly did you mean?”
I wasn’t sure how to answer that, so I remained quiet. Only the sounds of my rapid heartbeat could be
heard. Along with the light murmurs of the other passengers.
Soon, a voice sounded on the loudspeaker, making me jump.
“Good evening, everybody; this is your pilot speaking. We will be departing shortly so make sure you
listen to your stewardess as she walks you through the emergency protocols. This flight is a direct flight
to Monstro and takes about 16 hours. We will be serving meals and snacks throughout the hours of the
ride, along with beverages of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. There seem to be clear skies and not
much on the radar for turbulence, but we will keep you updated as we are updated. If you have any
questions, please see the stewardess, and thank you for flying with Harmony. Sit back, relax, and enjoy
the flight.”
Once he was done speaking, the stewardess went over the basic safety protocols and showed us the
equipment. The more she spoke about possible dangers, the more nervous I got.
“Will you try to relax?’ Enzo muttered from beside me. “It’s going to be a long flight and I’d rather you
not fidget beside me the entire time.”
I pressed my lips together.
“I can’t help it,” I whispered in return. “What makes you so confident about flying anyways?” I asked
him.
“It’s not my first time flying,” he answered.
“How many times have you flown?” I found myself asking.
“Enough times to be confident.”
I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at him as I looked away.
I nearly jumped out of my skin as I felt the plane jerk forward. I quickly grabbed onto the armrests, not
realizing that Enzo’s arm was right there, so I grabbed onto his arm firmly.
He stared at me with a wary expression for a moment, but he didn’t say anything as I continued to dig
my claws into his arm.
Soon, the plane was going faster and faster and it took everything, I did to not scream in fear.
“Will you just relax?” Enzo muttered from beside me.
He reached into his bag on the ground and pulled out a neck wrest pillow, along with some earbuds
and an eye mask.
Was he seriously about to take a nap right now?
That selfish jer—
Before I could finish my thought, he was putting the neck pillow around my neck and shoving the
earbuds into my ears.
He started playing some lovely classical music on his phone.
Then he put the eye mask over my eyes so I couldn’t see anything. I was closed in my own little dark
world. Nothing could hurt me, and Val was feeling incredibly relaxed as well.
“Finally…” Enzo muttered. “I can get some peace.”
His voice faded out as the music grew louder; I wanted to scold him for treating me like a child, but I
felt incredibly relaxed so I couldn’t be too mad.
I felt the plane lifted into the air, but I couldn’t see anything.
