My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

Enzo's POV

"Go back there and take what is ours!!” Max roared, fury boiling through him. He was desperate to have Lila as his and I wasn't going to partake in such activities.

If I were to be caught, I could lose everything I had worked so hard for, and I wasn't going to let that happen. I had big goals and dreams to fulfill in order to lock my future down and I wasn't going to let a mate bond get in the way of that.

Plus, if I were to get too close to her, it'll put her in danger. I'm always being watched and hunted by my father's followers.

They nearly killed my mother.

I won't let something like that happen to Lila too.

Not while I'm alive.

I was careless and weak. I acted with my dick and not with my head

I won't let that happen again.

Though, I could still taste her sweet lips on mine and feel the softness of her skin pressed against me. It made me feel a way I had never felt before. However, I chose to ignore that feeling.

I returned to the dance because I had a job to do and I couldn't just leave, but I made sure to avoid Lila for the rest of the night.

Which was easy because it seemed she had left with her friends.

Come to think of it... Brody was gone too.

The meeting went on for another hour before the conversation started to slow down. By the end of the meeting, I was ready to leave and enjoy the rest of my day working on my curriculum for the rest of the week

Just as I started to pack up my belongings in my briefcase, I heard my name being thrown around the mouths of the other Alphas, causing me to freeze.

"Hey, Enzo!" One of them shouted from across the room once they were sick of talking about me behind my back. Now, they wanted to involve me in the conversation. “You're 23, right? When are you going to find your mate?”

"Yeah, you are getting too old to be single. You should be settling down by now.”

“Got any she-wolves you are looking at?”

I wasn't sure what I was expecting, but I certainly wasn't expecting that. I just stared at them blankly for a long while as they all stared back at me with wide and curious eyes.

The sad part was this time they weren't drunk.

How was this any of their business?

“Guys, leave him alone. He will settle down when he's good and ready,” Bastien said with a faint smile on his mouth as he shook his head.

"He wants to get ahead though! An Alpha is only as good as his Luna. Without a Luna, how do you expect your pack to thrive?” Alpha John said with a frown

“I'm not interested in this conversation,” I found myself muttering.

I finished collecting my things and zipped my briefcase before turning toward the door.

“If you'll excuse me..." I said, walking away.

"Hey! Wait up, Enzo!” Alpha John said from behind me, following me into the halls of the city hall. I paused and glared at him; I was very unamused that he was following me to harass me about my love life. “My daughter, Bethany, is back in town from her tour. She's a singer and quite good. You might have heard her music on the radio.”

Bethany Rochelle; of course, I had heard of her music. She admittedly had a nice voice and a lot of students around campus listened to her in the lounge. Her music isn't to my taste, but I recognize that she has some serious talent.

“I might have,” I said in return, not giving him more information than that.

“Well, she will be in town for a while, and she was just saying the other day that she wishes to find a gentleman and settle down. She's sick of always being on the road and wishes to pursue a serious relationship with a proper suitor.”

"I see.”

I didn't like where this was going.

“I was hoping I'd be able to introduce you. You are quite the looker yourself, which is exactly her type. What do you say? Want to meet her and take her out for a date?”

I saw the hopefulness in his eyes and for a moment, I almost thought of saying yes just to shut him up. But I didn’t want to listen to Max's complaint about going out with another woman when he all wanted to do was be with our mate.

A mate I wasn't even sure I wanted to keep.

But, until I figured it out, it was probably better if I didn't pursue another she-wolf.

“I'm afraid you are mistaken about my relationship status. I'm actually in a very committed and happy relationship.”
