My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

Chapter 191

Lila’s POV
I was taken aback by Professor Xander’s cruel words. I never expected him to go easy on me so for him
to assume that’s what I wanted was upsetting. If anything, I liked the challenge. I’ve never been one to
shy away from a good challenge and I wasn’t going to start today.
Xander smirked.
“I’m changing the rules for you, Miss Lila,” Xander continued as he measured me with his eyes. “I’ve
heard about you. Ah. Yes. I’ve heard everything about you and what you can do. I also heard about your
incident with a student last year. Let me be clear… that won’t be happening again this year.”
I furrowed my brows together; was he talking about the incident with Becca? How did he even find out
about that? It was supposed to be kept quiet.
“Your training will be different than the other students. Your training won’t include your wolf. If you shift
into your wolf, you will be penalized. All of your combat will be done in human form.”
“I can’t shift?!” I gasped, staring up at him in disbelief.
He can’t just take away my ability to use my wolf. This was a combat class, but this was also a shifting
class in a shifting academy.
“It’s a shifting class,” I spoke my thoughts out loud. “How do you expect me to pass the class and not
shift?”
“Your lessons will be solely on combat. We will be using various weapons and hand combat,” he
explained, keeping his tone even. “The usage of your wolf is forbidden. Am I understood?”
I stared at him for a moment longer, Val grew incredibly uneasy at the sound of his words, but she kept
quiet.
I managed a head nod.
“Good,” he said, turning away from me and walking toward the back of the arena.
I took that as my cue to follow him; he was my partner for the semester after all.

Once we were away from everyone else, he turned toward me and placed his hands behind his back. He
stared at me with a blank expression.
“Hit me.”
I rose my brows.
“What?” I asked, unsure if I heard him correctly.
“Hit me,” he said again.
I stared at him for a moment longer, his expression unchanged and his body unmoved.
“I’d like to see the method you use and your body language. I haven’t seen you fight before so I’d like
you to hit me.”
“I could hurt you,” I said to him.
He was a tall and broad man who towered over me, but I’ve taken down men his size before. I was
confident that I could hurt him and the thought of hurting a professor left me feeling unsettled.
“You won’t,” he said, sounding very sure of himself.
For some reason, that made me want to hit him.
I got into my usual fighting stance and lifted my clenched fists; he remained unmoved, and his eyes
were on mine.
I swung my fist in the direction of his face and just as I was about to make contact, my fist hit nothing
but air. I nearly fell as he dodged the attack, quickly and with ease.
Once I got my footing, I stared up at him.
“Again,” he ordered, taking his place.
My heart was pounding in my chest, and I swallowed the lump in my throat. I repeated the same
motion, attempting to hit the side of his face, but this time I actually fell to my face as he dodged the
attack.
Xander moved at lightning speed.
“How are you doing that?” I asked as I sat up on the ground.
“The first rule of combat is knowing your opponent’s next move. Yours are predictable. With your feet’s
placement and the movement of your body, I know exactly where you are aiming, and I can time when I
to move out of the way. You are typical.”
“But I’m…”
I was going to tell him that I’m usually fast, but before I could get a word out, he was grabbing my arm,
twisting it, spinning me around, and burying my face into the ground. The motion was so fast, I didn’t
see it coming and I certainly wasn’t expecting it.
I felt his knee digging into my back and his hand remained on the back of my head, keeping me pinned
and unable to move.
“Ah!” I yelled as he put more pressure on my body. “You are hurting me,” I whimpered.
“Never let your guard down,” he murmured against my ear, and I felt his hot breath on the side of my
face, making my stomach turn. “You were unprepared, and it showed in your body language. Made it
the perfect opportunity to attack you.”
He grabbed my hair and yanked my head off the ground while keeping his knee dug into my back. Pain
was instantly shooting through my body; Val was desperate to emerge and help me, but I kept pushing
her further into my mind. If wasn’t allowed to use her and if I did, I’d get penalized.
