My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

Lila’s POV
We walked the rest of the way to the cafeteria quietly. Connie kept her head lowered and stayed hidden
behind Enzo, afraid that she might run into her mate once again.
My heart went out ot him because I knew what it was like to feel rejected. The look on his face I would
never be able to get out of my head and Connie didn’t seem the least bit remorseful toward him.
I felt awful.
I wondered if Enzo felt awful too or if this was just normal for them both.
I don’t think I wanted to know.
Once we got into the cafeteria, I went to sit down with Connie at one of the tables while Enzo grabbed
us some food.
“Aren’t you the least bit curious?” I found myself asking once we were alone.
She raised her brows at me.
“About what?” She asked.
I furrowed my brows together; did she seriously forget what we were talking about moments ago?
“Your mate,” I clarified, stifling an eye roll.
She shook her head without hesitation.
“Nope.”
“How can you say that?!” I nearly shouted; I was feeling heartbroken for this man.
“He’s a male nurse,” she said shaking her head in disgust. “Not to mention omega. I can’t be with an
omega wolf. I have Alpha blood.”
“But he’s your mate…”

“I’ll reject him when I’m better,” she said. “I just need my wolf to get over her initial shock over the
situation.”
“It would destroy your wolf if you rejected him. Not to mention destroy his wolf,” I argued. ‘
“Why are you pressing this?” She asked, folding her arms across her chest, and pressing her lips firmly

together. “Is it because you’re afraid I’m going to take Enzo away from you?”
“It’s because I know what it’s like to be rejected by your mate,” I said in return, eyeing her carefully. “It’s
not a good feeling.”
She looked like she wanted to say something but refrained from doing so. For a moment, it even looked
like there was remorse on her face.
“My pack would laugh at me if I came back with an Omega as a mate,” she said, shaking. “I can’t…”
I wanted to argue more with her because it wasn’t right what she was doing to him, but Enzo returned
moments later with a few plates of food.
“Finally! Food,” she cooed as she started to eat. “My wolf is healing me quickly and it works up an
appetite.”
“Eat up,” he said to her. “You’ll need your strength. He then looked at me and motioned for the plate in
front of me. “You need to eat too. You’ve barely eaten today. Don’t think I haven’t noticed.”
I nodded and ate some food, but I noticed Connie had paused eating and her entire body was tense for
a moment.
I furrowed my brows together, wondering what was wrong. Her eyes looked voided over and she was
looking in the distance. I followed her gaze and saw her mate standing at the doorway.
He looked like he was avoiding her eyes again, but then accidentally scanned the room until his eyes fell
upon hers.
He looked like he had seen a ghost and she looked like she was about to jump up and sprint in the
opposite direction. He looked around for a moment before turning away and leaving the room.
now, Connie was finally able to relax for a few minutes.
She breathed out in relief.
“What is wrong with you?” I asked, standing to my feet quickly.
“Lila…” Enzo began to warn.
“No, she can’t treat her mate like that. It’s wrong. His feelings and wolf matter and you are treating him
like they don’t just because he’s an Omega wolf. It isn’t fair to him and it’s certainly not fair to your wolf.
How could you act so carelessly?”
“Lila, that’s enough,” Enzo said, his tone lowering in hopes to get mine to work as well.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t stand by and watch you hurt him. It’s not fair…”
I wasn’t sure what I was expecting, but I certainly wasn’t expecting her eyes to start filling with tears. For
a moment, I thought maybe she was just doing that as a show to Enzo, but as tears left her eyes and ran
down her narrow features, I was beginning to think I was wrong.
Maybe she did care after all.
“I’m sorry,” I said, sighing and lowering my tone. “I didn’t mean to upset you…”
“No, you were right, I’m being selfish. It’s not fair to him and it’s not fair to my wolf. She’s so upset with
me, and I can feel her pain potently. I really hate it…”
“Then why cause her to suffer?” Enzo asked, raising his brows.
“Because he’s a male nurse and an Omega. I couldn’t be with someone like that.”
“What they do for a living doesn’t matter and their ranking on the wolf charts also doesn’t matter. If
your pack can’t understand that, then there’s nothing you need to say to them.”
“I think I just need to sleep on it,” she murmured. “Can you take me back to my room? I’m going to get
some rest.”
“Yeah, of course,” Enzo said, standing up.
When I didn’t move with him, he frowned down at me.
“Are you coming?” He asked.
“I’ll catch up with you in a little bit. I need to clean up,” I told him. I didn’t like the messes on the table
and wanted to clean before I left.
Enzo seemed to understand that and nodded as he turned and left with Connie.
