My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

Enzo's POV

"Was it the same men who attacked you before?” I asked, trying to get my mother to calm down a moment to talk to me.

"Yes, I believe so," she said, shaking her head with dismay written all over her face. “I need to heal everybody...”

"You don't have your abilities anymore,” I said. “But I know someone who can help.”

My first thought was to talk to Lila and see if she could get down here, but then I thought against it. It would probably be better if I didn't involve her.

Instead, I decided to talk to Bastien instead.

“Enzo?” Bastien said into the phone.

It was very late, so he was most likely in bed at that point. I knew Lila was probably sleeping as well so I didn't need to worry about her hearing this conversation.

“I need a favor...” Enzo began into the phone.

After explaining the entire situation and giving Bastien his location, all he could do was wait.

He went around and tried to place the injured together and out of harm's way. His mother was shaking as she attempted to heal those around her, but she had none of her abilities left. She was mentally and physically drained. She had some bruises on her skin from the abuse of those awful men who wished to cause her harm.

I was surprised by his reaction.

“I'm going to start healing,” Selene said, walking with my mother toward the more seriously injured. “She's good at the healing thing,” Bastien explained. “That's why I brought her here. But we should talk more about that trip to Monstro.”

Lila's POV

“I really want those puff cakes with the little marshmallows,” Rachel wined as she sprawled out on my bed.

“We don't have any; I'd have to go the store to get them,” I told her shaking my head. “I also don't have my car, so, I'd have to walk.”

“Please, Lila,” Rachel pleaded. “I need something to get my mind off all this shit and those puff cakes are the only thing I can think of right now. I can walk with you. There's a 24-hour mart in town if I remembered correctly.”

I sighed and agreed to go with her to the mart to get the puff cakes.

It was dark, but thankfully the rays of the moon lit up the streets so we could navigate through the vacant town of Elysium. It was one of the smaller towns, but it had a 24-hour store so that was our best bet on getting puff cakes.

I wasn't surprised that the store was completely empty. Only the cashier was behind the counter. I gave them a small greeting as we walked through the aisles.

“Found them!” Rachel cooed happily.

She grabbed a couple of boxes before taking them to the cashier.

Once we paid, we were back on the streets and headed toward the Nova Packhouse. It was only a 15-minute walk, but because I was so tired, the walk felt like it lasted forever.

“These are going to hit the spot,” Rachel breathed as she wiggled the grocery bag excitedly.

“Let's just get back before my parents wake up and see we are missing,” I told her.

"Aren“t we adults? Do we need their permission to leave the packhouse?”

"Considering we are hiding you from the hospital, I think it's better if we don't leave the packhouse. But here we are,” I said, giving her a side-eyed look.

“Somebody help me!!” A woman's voice in the distance yelled. “Please!! Help me!!”
