My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

Chapter 296 Gathering My Friends

Lila’s POV

What did Scott remember that he wanted to tell all of us? Did he remember who manipulated his mind and tried to frame him for murder?

This could be huge; he could potentially save Rod from a horrific fate if what Enzo suspected was true. It didn’t want to believe that Rod was guilty of murder and truly tried to kill Rachel out of his own free will. The thought didn’t sit right with me. I had a nasty feeling in the pit of my stomach every time I thought about it.

I wished I could talk to Rachel and find out what happened between them earlier. Why was she even there in the first place? She never expressed any interest in vampires before.

None of this made any sense.

I couldn’t help but feel like we were missing huge parts of the puzzle.

The drive back to campus was quiet; I knew we were all thinking the same things. We were wondering what Scott had to tell us and if it would put together the missing pieces.

When we pulled into the parking lot, my father was waiting for us with Alexander. I was glad that it was only the two of them, but I wondered where Alpha Jonathan was.

“Alex is going to take you to your dorm and speak to help you collect your friends,” my father said. “Make sure they all pack a bag to last them until Sunday. You will be brought back here Sunday evening.”

I nodded, but I didn’t move from in front of him.

“Do you know what Scott wants to talk to us about?” I asked, my voice coming out unfamiliar.

He shook his head, glancing at me then at Becca, and then back at me.

“I don’t,” he said gently. “But whatever it is, I’m sure it’s important. Thankfully, he’s being released from jail today so he will be at Enzo’s packhouse this evening.”

The sun was about to go down, so this evening was arriving quickly. The more the sunset, the tighter the knot in my stomach got.

“What’s going to happen to Rod?” I found myself asking, looking between my father and Alex.

They were both quiet for a moment, each looking at one another.

“We aren’t sure yet. But once we know, we will let you know,” my father said, giving me a reassuring smile. “In the meantime, the lockdown remains on campus. I already spoke to the board about you and your friends, so you are free to get your things and meet back here in the parking lot.”

I looked up at Enzo, worry clear/in his eyes. Or maybe it was my worry reflecting on me.

“I need to speak with Enzo for a few. Alex will take you to your dorm.”

I didn’t want to leave my mate and Val certainly didn’t want to walk away, I could tell from his face that he
