My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

Enzo’s POV

“Who was on the phone?” Lila asked with a small frown when I entered the room.

Her face was still a little red which made a smile tug at the corner of my lips. I suppose I had myself to

blame for that. She looked gorgeous in her thin nightgown and her hair flowing messily around her

face.

“It was Dr. Todrick from the pack clinic,” I answered. “He might have found something in that protein

mix Xander had given you.”

Her face paled.

“What did he find?” She asked, her voice soft and nervous.

“I won’t know until I go there,” I told her, trying to keep my voice calm to not alarm her. “I’m going to

head there once I’m done getting dressed. I’ll meet you at the school later.”

When I finished getting dressed, Lila was finishing cleaning from breakfast and grabbing clothes for

herself. When she saw me, her frown deepened.

“Do you think he’s trying to poison me?” She asked, her voice cracking.

I furrowed my brows at her. I was wary about what the shake was made of, but poison was not a thing I

thought about.

“Why would he try to poison you?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at her.

Was there a reason she thought he would be trying to poison her?

She was quiet for a moment before answering.

“Well…when I drink it, my throat hurts and my lips burn…” she said, lowering her gaze. This was news

to

me, and my heart fell into my stomach. “He said it’s supposed to happen and that I’ll get used to it. But

Val doesn’t like it either and told me not to drink it anymore. I only drank it twice and each time it

makes me feel weird.”

“Why didn’t you tell me that before?” I asked, trying not to sound like I was scolding her. But I didn’t like

the fact that kept this from me.

She shrugged.

“I didn’t want to upset you,” she said, biting her bottom lip and chewing on it nervously.

I sighed and sat beside her on the bed.

“If you feel like something isn’t right about anything, you need to tell me about it, Lila. I need you to

trust me,” I said softly, running my fingers down her face. She leaned into my touch, closing her eyes.

“I’m sorry,” she breathed. “He’s a little tougher on me than most students.”

“What?” I asked, Max grew furious almost instantly. “What do you mean?”

She was hesitant.

“He…” she stopped and took in a deep breath as she met my eyes. “He broke my arm…”

I stood to my feet quickly.

“What the hell do you mean he broke your arm?!”

“He claims it was accidental,” she explained. “He tackled me to the ground and kept telling me to push

him off, but he was on my arm. When I moved it, he applied more pressure and then I heard it snap…”

“Lila…” I said, trying to maintain my temper, but it was hard. I knew the eyes of my wolf were probably

evident to her. I could feel Max pushing to the front of my mind.

“It’s okay… I healed quickly. I’m a Volana so it’s hard to hurt me,” she explained, trying to calm me.

“Why didn’t you tell me about this?!” I asked through my teeth; I was trying very hard to keep my wolf

under control.

“I didn’t want you to be angry and do something stupid,” she admitted. “Plus, I have a feeling he’s after

something. Like he has some kind of vendetta against me. So, I agreed to private lessons so I could

figure out what it is he wants.”

“I don’t want you anywhere near him,” I growled.

I started walking toward the door as fury consumed me. I heard her getting up from the bed and I felt

her worry, but it wasn’t enough to calm me.

“Please don’t do anything stupid,” she pleaded.

But I hardly heard her. I ripped the door open and slammed it behind me.

…..

I got to the clinic soon after and Dr. Todrick was in his office. He was staring at his computer with a

deep frown.

I was going to the school to beat the living shit out of Xander, but I knew without actual proof of foul

play, it wouldn’t end well for me. So, I decided to go to the clinic first and find out what Dr. Todrick

found in that shake.

“What did you find?” I asked as soon as I barged into his office.

“You can see from this chart over here that there’s some kind of chemical reaction but when I ran the

report, it came up inconclusive,” he explained.

I glared at him.

“So, you didn’t find anything??” I asked, feeling annoyed.

“It wouldn’t have this chemical reaction if there wasn’t anything in it,” he explained, shaking his head.

“But none of my reports can figure out what it is. Whatever it’s mixed with is masking it and messing

with my testing.”

“How is that possible?” I asked through my teeth; this was getting ridiculous.

“Let’s forget about proof,” Max whined. “I want to rip his fucking head off.”

I was starting to agree with my wolf, but I knew it wouldn’t end well for me.

“That’s what I’m trying to figure out. Once I figure out what’s masking it, I could probably work around

it. But, Alpha, tell me… does Lila have any strange symptoms when she drinks this?”

“She told me when she drinks it she feels a bit weaker than she usually does. She also just informed

me

that it hurts her lips and throat,” I answered.

“Almost sounds like wolfbane,” he said, narrowing his eyes at me. “But that would have shown up on

my

tests.”

“Unless it’s being masked by something,” I said through my teeth.

“For Wolfbane to not show up on my testing, it would have to be masked by something very strong…”

Dr. Todrick said, deep in thought. “Like magic…”

“Magic?” I asked, staring at him in shock. “Where would he have gotten magic?”

“That’s a good question,” Dr. Todrick said, shaking his head. “But if that’s the case then the only way to

get rid of it would be a witch. Or an antidote.”

I stayed quiet as I processed what he said.

“Do you know a witch that could potentially help us?”

I nodded; I did know a witch. Well, kind of. My mother knows a witch; I’m sure she could help us in this

situation.

“Yes,” I answered out loud. “I’ll reach out to her and see if she can help us.”

“In the meantime, I’ll do more testing and see if I can find out more information.”

Lila’s POV

Dee and Beta Ethan came with me to the school to help set up the bake sale. Ethan even recruited a

couple of gamma warriors to keep watch over us during the sale for extra protection.

Once we got there, Ethan and the gammas got to work building the bake sale stand and cases while

Dee and I made signs to place everywhere.

“Lila!” I heard my name being called from nearby and when I turned to look, I was pleased to see

Becca

and Rachel coming toward me.

“Hey girls,” I said with a bright smile.

“We came to help,” Becca explained. “What can we do?”

“You can help make some signs,” I said, handing them each a marker.

They sat on the ground beside me and started to help with the signs right away. We only had a couple

of hours before the bake sale started. I already sent a memo to each student reminding them of the

sale at 1:00 p.m.

It only took Ethan and the gammas about 45 minutes to set up the stand and the display cases. Once

they were finished, they set up a few tables for seating.

Only 10 minutes before 1:00 pm, I heard a familiar musical sound in the distance, causing me to freeze

and frown at my friends who also heard the same familiar sound.

I turned around and my mouth felt open when I saw an ice cream truck nearby.

“Isn’t it a little out of season for ice cream?” Rachel asked, her brows furrowed together.

I nodded as the ice cream truck got closer and soon; it was parking close by.

“What’s it doing here?” Becca asked, equally confused.

I didn’t have an answer.

After a minute the doors of the truck swung open, and we soon got our answers.

Sarah stepped out of the truck with a couple of her followers.

Upon seeing her, my heart fell deep into the pit of my stomach and my mouth nearly fell to the floor.

“What the hell is she doing here?!” Rachel asked through her teeth, and I knew she was furious.

Before I could say anything, one of Sarah’s friends began sticking signs on the ice cream truck that

read

in big bold letters: Free Ice Cream.

Is she serious?!
