My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

Chapter 200

Lila’s POV
“Why do you think he’s going to propose today?” She asked, seemingly confused.
I opened my mouth to tell her about the wedding ring I found, but then Enzo returned to the kitchen.
“Ready for dinner?” He asked. “I’m starving.”
I looked at him briefly before looking back at Dee. She was staring at me with concern and curiosity in
her eyes.
“Thanks for your help, Dee,” I said softly. “If I don’t see you again tonight, I’ll see you in the morning.”
She gave me a smile in return and nodded.
I went with Enzo out of the kitchen and out of the packhouse. He kept his arm wrapped around mine
and I walked closely beside him. He was giving my body strength and even Val was awake and alert.
“I have a surprise for you later,” he said as we got into his car.
I tugged at my fingers nervously.
“A surprise?” I asked, peering over at him. “For what?”
“Do I need a reason to surprise you?” He asked, raising his right brow.
I shook my head.
“No, of course not,” I said, hoping the nervousness didn’t show through my voice.
It didn’t take long to get to the restaurant. When we were seated, he frowned at me.
“You seem off still,” he said, assessing my face. “Thinner even. Are you eating?”
I touched my face; I hadn’t realized I lost enough weight for it to be noticeable.
“I’m eating,” I told him. “Maybe not as much as I used to.”
“Why?” He asked, furrowing his brows together. “Are you dieting?”

“Not exactly. Professor Xander gives me these protein shakes that fill me up for most of the day,” I
admitted, knowing that I couldn’t lie to him.
His brows shot way too far up as he stared at me.
“What kind of shake?” He asked.
“I’m not sure what’s in it,” I said, shaking my head. “But he said it’ll make me stronger.”
“You seem weaker,” he said, cocking his head to the side. “Do you have any of the shake mix with you?”
“It’s in my stuff at the packhouse,” I answered. “I have to drink it every morning.”
“I’m going to run a test on it to find out exactly what’s in it. Don’t drink any more of it.”
Worry started to consume me. Would Xander go as far as to poison me? What was Enzo going to find in

this shake mix?
Professor Xander wouldn’t try to harm me in that kind of way, would he?”
“He did break your arm,” Val said slowly. “Max noticed my energy level is low. I have to agree with them;
something doesn’t seem right.”
A knot formed in the pit of my stomach at the very thought of it.
I wasn’t going to argue with her or Enzo over this matter. Enzo was watching me carefully, reaching his
hand out he grabbed onto mine and held it gently. My heart flipped in my chest, and I sucked in sharp
breaths as tingles shot through my body just from his touch alone.
I couldn’t help but wonder if he had the wedding ring with him right now.
“Oh, I never told you, I talked to Brody yesterday,” I said, meeting his eyes. “He didn’t confess to having
feelings for me, but he did tell me something else.”
Enzo rose his brows.
“What did he say?”
“He found his mate over the summer,” I told him, much to his shock. “It’s Sarah.”
“What?!” Enzo said, his entire body tensing as my words processed in his mind. I nodded, trying to keep
from laughing at his dumbfounded expression.
“Yeah, and she hasn’t sensed it yet because he used his magic to block his scent from her wolf,” I
continued.
Enzo furrowed his brows at me.
“His magic?” He asked.
I nodded.
“Brody is partly witch apparently. He doesn’t want anyone knowing,” I told him. “He’s not sure what to
do and needed my advice.”
“What did you tell him?”
“That he needs to listen to his wolf,” I answered. “The Moon Goddess works in mysterious ways,” I
shrugged.
“That she does,” Enzo said in return, fighting a smile. “He must have been losing his mind.”
I laughed.
“You have no idea,” I said in return, shaking my head at the very thought of Brody and Sarah together. I
couldn’t even imagine it. Sarah was a complete monster; she was selfish, spoiled, and just straight-up
rotten.
“Maybe they are the kind of opposites that will attract,” Enzo said, shrugging. “I don’t think the Moon
Goddess makes mistakes when choosing mates.”
I looked up at him and saw the love radiating off his features as he looked at me. I loved the way he
looked at me. I felt my face warming under the intensity of his gaze.
“I told him about us,” I blurted before I could stop myself.
His smile fell immediately.
“Lila—”
Before he could utter another word, we were interrupted by the waiter who brought the wine we
ordered and then took our food orders. Once he was gone, Enzo stared back at me with the same
alarmed expression he had given me before.
“I’m sorry,” I said, biting my bottom lip nervously. “I wanted him to know that he wasn’t alone. Plus, he
told me a secret, so I figured I owe him a secret.”
“What if he tells people?”
“He’s not going to,” I said quickly. “I promise. We can trust him.”
Enzo looked at me for a moment longer before a smile formed on his lips; his body relaxed, and he
nodded.
“If you trust him, then I trust him.”
I smiled in response, also relaxing.
“Are we still going to see my family this weekend?” I asked; as nervous as I was, I was excited to tell
them the news. I worried about their reaction though and I hoped it would be positive. But they
deserved to know. I also was excited to meet up with Bri and catch up on everything.
I definitely needed a girl’s night with my oldest best friend.
“Yes,” Enzo answered. “We will tell them everything, just as I promised.”
I took a sip of the wine just as the waiter brought over our food. Without saying much more, we began
to eat. I ordered a cob salad with grilled chicken and Enzo ordered a steak cooked rarely. He cut into
the blood-soaked steak and his knife went in with ease.
