My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

Chapter 0352 Lila’s POV X 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.
