My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

Chapter 0471 Lila's POV : Hazel was in her hospital bed when we arrived at the Calypso Pack Hospital. It only took us about 25 minutes to get there from the city. We wasted no time. She was looking for a lot better than when I last saw her.

Hazel's wounds were healing nicely, and she didnt look as thin and wasted away. She was I still hooked up to a couple of different machines; one was monitoring her heart rate and the other was pumping her with a liquid fluid. The heart monitor had a steady rhythm, which was definitely a good sign. As we entered the hospital, her assigned doctor was the first to greet us. “She will be able to return home in the morning, Alpha. She's going to need plenty of rest and to keep up her hydration. But she's looking good,” he said, glancing at Hazel with a fond smile. “Thank you for caring for her, Doctor,” Enzo said in return. “You look exhausted,” I pointed out, sitting by her bedside. She gave me a faint smile. “l was given some medication yesterday that kept me asleep all evening last night and

day today,” she said. “I haven't been sleeping much because I've been so worried about the village, and they thought it would help me. I don't think they anticipated I'd be asleep this long.” “You mentioned on the phone that you can feel Jazzy’'s magic,” Enzo said, stepping toward her. My eyes widened at his words. “ What?" I gasped. “It's true... I can feel her dark magic at play. But it's more than that,” she said, her eyes darkening. “I can feel darkness.” “Darkness?” I asked, furrowing my brows together. “I've only felt this once before,” she explained. “A long time ago. Jazzy has conjured it before.” “She conjured darkness?” Enzo asked. “How is that possible?” “It takes a very dark heart and a sacrifice to do it,” Hazel explained; her expression was grave. “I don't know what she could want with darkness though. The first time it was only to cause mayhem to let out the anger she felt when our parents died.” “Mayhem...” I breathed; it wasn't a question. I grabbed Enzo's arm as the thoughts of the mayhem at school yesterday surfaced in my mind. “Enzo, could it have something to do with what happened at the election yesterday? “What happened?” Hazel asked us quickly, looking between us. “We

were having an election for President of the student committee, and during this election everybody who has magic became powerless,” he explained; her face turned mortified as he explained the events that unfolded last night. I thought, for a moment, that she was going to jump out of bed and run from the room. I had never seen anyone look quite as terrified as Hazel felt and it made my stomach twist into a tight and unsettling knot.

“That sounds like the mayhem she would cause, yes..." She said, shaking her head with a worried expression. “He has returned to our lands; but for what reason, I am unsure.” “He?” Enzo asked, furrowing his brows together. * Darkness is a person?” “It takes the form of a man; though, it can take many different forms.

as her slave?” Enzo asked. “She can control it?” “Nobody can truly control darkness; but if they have a common goal, he will work with her and do as she

will need to sacrifice again soon if she wishes to keep him even longer. Like a payment for his deeds.” “Why would they make students at the school powerless?” Enzo asked, shaking his head. “It's not making sense.” Hazel was quiet for

I never understood it myself, but something happened that hurt him enough to slither back to wherever he came from.” “If Zagreus really has returned to our land, what are we going to do?” I asked, staring up at Enzo who had a grave look on

to let anything happen to you,” he said, wrapping me in his arms. “That's a promise.” Hazel looked uncertain and worried. “We will return tomorrow to help you home,” Enzo assured her, grasping her hand gently. “Get some rest.” “I will,” she said. “I can't wait to get back to my village and to my own bed. I'm sure Luna Selene is doing a fine job at keeping them protected, but with this new knowledge that darkness has been conjured, I worry for them.” “l understand,” Enzo said. He took a hold of my hand. “See you tomorrow,” I said to her as we left the
