My Professor Is My Alpha Mate
#Chapter 132 – To a new start

Lila's POV

That had to have been the most painful thing I have ever done. What was I thinking? Telling Enzo that I was going on a date.

This was not a date.

I was going out with some friends to a beach party. I wanted to invite Enzo, but I saw that he was a little preoccupied with Connie.

When she walked out of his bedroom with nothing but his shirt on, my entire world felt like it was falling apart. My heart ached too painfully and for a moment, I couldn't breathe. But I couldn't let this bother or distract me.

I came to Monstro to do a job and I was going to do that job.

But that didn't mean I couldn't go out and have a little fun as well.

I was expecting Enzo to be waiting outside my door when I left my room, but he wasn't. I wasn't sure why that upset me so much. Maybe because I wanted him to see me in this cute outfit I was wearing.

I purposely wore this short black dress to get under Enzo’s skin. Of course, I had my bathing suit underneath it. But I'd never been to a beach party before and I wasn't sure what it contained.

On second thought, maybe it would have been better if he didn't see it.

Deciding not to wait around for him to show up, I left for the party.

When they told me there was going to be a beach party, I wasn't sure what I expected. But I certainly wasn't imagining something so huge.

They had a large stage in the middle of the beach where they played live music, and everyone was dancing and having a great time. There was also a tiki bar serving tropical drinks that looked delicious.

I could definitely use a couple of those right now; though I wasn't much of a drinker, and the last time I drank I got way too drunk and embarrassed myself. Maybe if I got a frozen drink and only took a couple of sips periodically.

He glanced down at me, narrowing his eyes and all the humor that was once on his face had dispersed. Now, he had this serious expression, and I wasn't sure what to think of it.

“Because I feel bad for treating you poorly,” he admitted. “I might have had you figured out wrong and for that I apologize.”

The bartender slid over two pina-coladas; I had to admit, it looked delicious... and refreshing. "With that being said, I'm hoping we can start over,” he continued as we stepped away from the bar. “A new start, maybe?”

I stared at him for a moment longer; he was serious.

I smiled up at him and rose my drink in the air.

“To a new start,” I said in return.

He gave me a smile and clinked his glass against mine.

Enzo's POV

Lila was gone by the time I left the bathroom. I wanted to get fully dressed and I knew she was going to need some space. But I didn't think she was going to leave that quickly.

I was going to need to find her later, but first, I decided to go to Connie's room to make sure she was okay after that awkward exchange with Lila.

“I didn't think I'd be seeing you again tonight,” Connie said, stepping aside for me to enter.

She was already completely dressed and damp from the shower she had just had. Her hair was left down, leaving steaks of water on her blouse and she had a brush in her hand.

"I just wanted to make sure you were okay,” I answered. “Lila left for the night and I'm going to go find her.”

“Do you want me to come with you? Maybe I can explain a little better what happened,” she suggested.

Actually, that might be a good idea if Lila can hear the full story from Connie. She would believe Connie right away if Connie said that nothing happened.

“That would be great,” I said just as Connie rushed toward the bathroom.

“Just give me a minute to finish getting dressed,” she shouted over her shoulder, shutting the bathroom door. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

I waited for her while she finished getting ready.

Her suite was a lot smaller than the suite I shared with Lila, but that's probably because this suite was only a one-bedroom.

I went toward her small kitchen and once I reached the counter, I knocked something to the ground by mistake. I frowned down at the contents of her purse that scattered to the ground.

I sighed as I bent down to pick them up, but just as I grabbed the last item and shoved it in her purse, I froze when I saw that it was a pill bottle.

I had no idea that Connie was on any kind of medication.

I glanced at the bottle more closely to see what it was.

Seeing the letters, GHP, my wolf gasped.

“Holy fuck...” he said in a hoarse whisper. “Enzo... those are roofies!”
