My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

Lila's POV

Enzo and Connie demonstrated a move together and it made me want to vomit on the spot.

She had her back turned toward him and he wrapped an arm around her waist to spin her around to face him where he kept her in a headlock. She swung her leg around and did a spin to get free. They were so close to one another, and they worked so effortlessly.

She was incredibly beautiful.

I wondered how long they have known each other.

"Lila?" Becca said from beside me; I realized everybody was already performing this move and I was standing in the center of the arena, staring at Connie with a grimace. “Are you ready to try the move?"

"Oh, yes,” I said, pulling my eyes away from Connie.

However, I could still hear her laughing loudly as she placed an arm on Enzo's bicep; he was saying something to her that was funny. Though he wasn't laughing with her, she didn’t seem to mind it. She stood close to him; her perfect figure was only inches from him, and she continued to speak and laugh.

I felt my blood boiling; I clenched my fists, trying not to let it get the best of me.

"Lila?" Becca said again with a worried frown. “Are you okay?"

“Yes,” I lied.

I turned to Becca who turned her back to me; I wrapped an arm around her waist to get ready to spin her when the sounds of Connie's laughter made its way over to me once again.

I closed my eyes, trying to center myself and tune out the sound, but to no prevail.

Enzo lowered his gaze as she went back into the infirmary.

The police?

She had called the police?

Of course, she had. A student was seriously injured during his class; why wouldn't she call the police?

What had I done? To not only Becca but Enzo as well.

“What are you doing here?” Enzo finally said, keeping his eyes lowered and his tone emotionless. “I wanted to check on her..." I said, trying to keep the pain out of my voice, but failing miserably. “You've done enough for right now.”

"Enzo—"

“You should go..." he said, meeting my eyes. "Now."

“I wanted to—"

“There's nothing you can do for her right now. She hasn't woken up; the nurse is looking at her as we speak, and she might need to be transferred to the hospital.”

“Do you think she’s going to be okay?” I asked in a whisper.

“It's too soon to tell; she has a faint pulse, but it weakened even more by the time we got here,” he answered. “Seriously, Lila. You need to leave.”

He could hardly even look at me; he felt so much shame being around me, and he wanted nothing to do with me.

My heart squeezed painfully in my chest as I choked back a sob. I didn't want him to see me so broken.

I did something terrible; I was never going to forgive myself if something were to happen to her. There was a part of me that wondered if I could heal her just as I did with Enzo the other day. But with how my emotions are right now, I knew it would be better if I didn't try.

I turned away, allowing a few stray tears to escape my eyes and roll down my cheeks. My heart hurt way too much.

The ambulance was outside the infirmary within the hour; I stayed a distance away, but I sat on a bench in the center of the campus, watching as they moved Becca from the infirmary and into the ambulance.

I couldn't bring myself to walk away or attend my other classes. My entire body was completely numb still; it was like it was no longer my own.

I thought about calling my mom, but I knew she would be so disappointed in me. I couldnt face her after what I had just done.

The police were also outside the infirmary, and they were speaking intently with Enzo for a long while. Periodically, Enzo would catch my eyes from across the campus. He knew I was sitting there and watching. He could feel my presence.

After a long while, it finally quieted down and everyone went back to their duties.

Connie managed to convince everyone that it wasn't me that did this to Becca and that something else happened that caused it.

I was oddly grateful to her for that.

After a couple of hours of sitting on the bench outside, I decided to go inside and back to the arena. I wondered if Enzo was still there and if he had a minute to talk.

But as I got to the arena, I heard a couple of voices coming from inside.

“I'm just saying, Enzo... she’s dangerous. She's a Volana wolf. I wish I had known this before. She has no business being at this school.”
