My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

Chapter 291 Accepting The Invitation

Lila’s POV

“Do you think she could have been possessed?” I asked, worried.

Enzo looked at me for a short while before taking another look at the letter. I could see the worry and stress in his eyes, and it took everything I had not to reach out to him and wrap my arms around him.

He opened his mouth to say something, but the arena doors opened making me take a lengthy step away from my mate. When I looked at the doorway, I was relieved to see my father standing there.

I sighed.

“Dad…” I said, running toward him.

He held his arms out for me, and I flew into them. If I couldn’t hug my mate, at least I could hug my father. I felt like I needed a hug after everything that’s been happening. I felt so defeated and confused.

I nodded.

“I’ll do what I can to help,” I told him. “It’s hard to believe that a student at this school is capable of murder.”

“This school is made up of beings with great power,” Enzo muttered from behind us. “It doesn’t surprise me at all.”

“We don’t know what happened,” my father said firmly.

He was right; it could have been darkness. But I didn’t want to say those words out loud; if I said them out loud, it would make it real.

The door of the arena opened again, and Alpha Jonathan walked inside.

“I had to follow the stench of B astien, what are you doing in the arena-?” He began to ask but then his eyes landed on me, “Oh, hello, Lila. What are you doing in the arena?”

“I came looking for my professor,” I told him, glancing at Enzo. “I wanted to show him a move I’ve been working on.”

“I’m enforcing another lockdown for this school until we know for certain who the murderer is,” Alpha Jonathan stated. “I’ll be making an announcement in a few minutes. But I came to find Alpha B astien first.”

My stomach clenched.

Another lockdown?

We’ve already missed so much school from the last lockdown.

“Oh, but first; Lila, did you get my letter?” Alpha Jonathan asked, eyeing me carefully.
